Report indicting the peaceful rain or refered to as downpour is unfair and unethical in the profession of journalism. As a Water Engineer of repute with much of international experience, what happened in Ibadan on friday the 26th of August 2011 was not justifiable and people do not deserve this treatment.
From observation, the so call flood was induced and can be categorised as CATHERSTOPHIC FLOODING which happened suddenly either by 2 of the factors, 1. man made (induced) through opening of the dam gate or 2. Breakage of dam wall which is as a result of lack of maintainance of dam.
Lastly, when the dam volume has been overtaken by silt, then, the need to desilt the dam is important which still REFER to management default. So, let us not relate the story to flooding but rather be specific and dont play politics with your news by just copying others , be professional in your news reports. i have found all the news laughable. please lecture the public by hitting the nail on the head.

u r still av nt made ur argument conclusive. there was a particular line of water flow affected, it runs through apete, eleyele, odo-ona, oluyole, to orita challenge. which dam(s) could the flood cum from then. finish up ur research nd make ur conclusions logical

sick little snitch  https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-490918.2144.html whats wrong can't handle the truth? 

logica:

Not to hold brief but my impression was Kobojunkie was laughing at the ignorant suggestion that a hurricane hit Oyo State. I laughed myself without using emoticons though.

there she goes again, was only trying to let d poster know dat he was only being speculative. a conclusive contribution would av bin excellent. till he does dat, he's got no right to criticize d media in such manner

she/he like arguing for the sake of arguing then like a crybaby runs to the mods to clean the thread

Again, he DOES NOT have to be CONCLUSIVE. He did not tell you he is an investigator. He simply stated that by his observation, what happened had nothing to do with the rain. He even went on to suggest possibles. IF you feel his is wrong, then show it! I am not certain what part of what I posted you do not get.

Anywho,if you had done some googling/clicking yourself, you would have discovered his assertion was not far from the truth

Kobojunkie (f)[/b]Hurricane Irene, as terrible as it is ooo . . . [b]only 8 known deaths. Oyo floods, more than 30 reported dead, and we are only considering the 30 that are even reported ooo!!

This sounds like a Flash Flood.

Just so you know, as of the DATE of the post, there were 8 cases reported. Your post says it climbed to 37, right? I hope you know that DOES NOT MEAN I was wrong when I posted what I had from the day I posted?

Also, did you at least get the reason why Oyo cannot be compared to what happened in Irene?

Did hurricane Ireti strike Ibadan as expected?

its very far from the truth cuz the only dam on that line is the eleyele dam which is well after apete so how will he explain the orogun and apete flood. it was a 6hrs continous downpour and moreover its not the first time dams are been drained. nlanders are always quick to flaw journalists which is so unfair cuz none of us 'll appreciate been critisized at our job too. so mr hydro engineer, u r so so wrong.

Dear Forumites,
Just to ease the air on this issue, appreciate various crititicm on my posting, at the same time if the journalist friends were affected in this posting the accept my apology.
Come to think of it. Critical investigation to the cause of the flood is underway, will update you soon.
For educational purpose please type FLASH/CATASTROPHIC FLOODING on google it explains everything to you.
Also hear people out on the way the flood happened, then, you will know that my eager conclusion is far preferable to most write-up.
From most write up you can judge on what happend, but, after my intensive findings and the truth is revealed, then, i will subscribe to your opinion and will not post any further.
Type de-silting of dam also see if water flows backward. a youruba adage says ''A lame man carries a load and you compalin on its perfection, you were concentration on the load and not the posture of the lame man''
Can water flow against the gravity, which is a concern on why such case of Orogun and Apete is of much concern since they were up slope of eleyele river and probably the river have its part from that area, the question is whether we have any other dam which is upward from the eleyele dam, probably IITA earth dam was over flown, due to rain form the saki side which was heavier than what we had on that day. Many queries and worries to many of us, but, what we should be careful of mis-information on the happenings. We need to believe our presss and the government to give us detail on what happened so we can be sure of the cause of this flood, an adage says if a child falls, he looks forward, but for an elderly person, he looks back on why he fell.
Let us look at the reason for this as stakeholders and stop this attack game, we can be objective in our posting and not attack ones personality. probably you are a journalist. Apology for my initial attack, again, do your job well before conclusiuon. dam break or water overflown dam bank?
Good day MY BROTHERS/SISTERS.
Apology to all journalist friend affected by my posting, CNN just reported the news that 25 were killed in the flood, ok, how many people were killed? 18? ok, death toll rising?

Sorry to give you a jolt there but you are doing exactly the same thing. The link included in my post informs you that it was a dam problem. Are you now not yourself suggesting that the journalist there is at fault? Please do  a bit of clicking to find more details on what happened FIRST if you are going to jump to CONCLUSIONS, rather simply posting Opinions.

m gonna keep these simple for u, its a downpour cuz it rained with so much intensity for over 6hrs. these led to the eleyele dam getting overflowed and this only made the effect more felt in areas along the eleyele river axis. so ur highlighted statement above is uncalled for.

@kobojunkie, u'll av to do a lil of researching too cuz from you referenced report, eye-witnesses reported cases of flooding in areas like old-ife road, ojoo and moniya which are places with no damed rivers

in conclusion. there's no way any of u's gonna tel me it was ur so called de-silting that submerged 5 electric poles and 2 fences in my area that is well over 2km from any f**king river.

Let us not loose sight that these are the signs of the end times. All we need to is to make peace with God and live a righteous life. May the souls of those who have died rest in peace in the Lord. My friends this is not of forum for us to abuse and insult ourselves. Rather it a forum where we come to share info and also get informed.
