IBB dual carriageway and part of the State Secretariat complex have been submerged for days after just two days of rain. This is in spite of billions of naira spent on the so-called underground drainage system.

Was this the situation since the commissioning of the drainage canals?

The level of unprecedented rainfall which was over 100mm in 48hrs is what occasioned this flood.

Even in the US, flooding still occurs when the levies reach their capacity.

You fool.

The state should look into the matter of flooding so that it won't spoil the good road infrastructure in the state. Flood has a devastating effect on roads and needs to be checked with immediate effect.

The rate of flooding in the state this year is high, if not checked we might find akwa ibom in cameroon's map.

Can you imagine what the situation will be like if that drainage was not present?

Stick to your useless SW and stop searching for faults in another man's backyard.

If this was that slum village Lagos you will come out to blame it on blocked drainage ad population pressure even though there hasn't been any major improvement on Lagos drainage since Marwa administration.

Why are you APC people so darn jealous and envious?

[size=18pt]No amount of drainage can solve this problem....let them pray to Our Lady of Salambao the patron saint of fishermen to speak to the mermaids to stop this havoc...they should also pour pure olive oil mixed with salamander bones on the sea every month to prevent and apease the demons of the sea,those same demons that christ sent into the pigs that then ran into the oceans....st francis of assissi can also intervene to the mother of God on their behalf[/size]

Our God is indeed a merciful God. I keep wondering what would have happened to this continent had we been faced with such conditions as Tsunamis, severe wildfires, earthquakes, hurricanes, giant twisters, etc.

First of all, I'm not from SW
Secondly, I'm not APC, I am a core PDP man both offline (ward exco) and online (check my posts). If you are so blinded by sycophancy that you cannot call government attention to areas that needs intervention then your state of life is "SORRY".

For the record, in spite of the billions to cover Uyo drainage, IBB road wasn't linked, I have worked with engineers from the floodcontrol unit and they ssaid that the only drainage there was sealed cos the outlet has not been completed and they were working (rather slowly) to remove the seal and channel it into Abak road.
But as we can see, it is obviously overwhelming and requires more than just a routine intervention

I thought flooding affects just Lagos? undecided rubbish, and the would be quick to blame fashola, whereas same is happening with them

See them! Dunce, same flooding is ravaging your side, instead of think and provide solution, if government can't think, you had to bring lagos in? Bigot oshI angry
