Flood Collapses Only Bridge Bebuo Bomaji, Cross River, Residents Lament. Photos by CastedDude: 8:07pm On Sep 20, 2017
Bebuo Bomaji the village of Hon Cletus Obun, the APC State Vice Chairman Central Senatorial district in Cross River state - has been cut off from the rest of the world as a result of flood that caused a landslide that destroyed the sole bridge linking the people with the rest of the world. The landslide destruction is so devastating that pedestrian movements is rendered an impossibility. Crops and economic activities are rendered impossible with a story of doom and helpless defining the people...

In a telephone conversation with Hon Cletus Obun, the leading political leader of the area calls for a quick intervention of NDDC and the APC led government to stop the flood that destroyed the only existing bridge making pedestrian and economic activities impossible.

Bellow are the pictures of the collapsed bridge

This should be a local government projects, most local government just collect money from the state to pay salaries to their friends and partner while actually the no of utilized work force is not up to 30 % of the people local governments pay. Hardly do you hear local government do a capital project.
If the APC state vice chairman can't use his position to get the local government to do it, it is left to him. A country wer tins wrk dee is no need to lament...d local govt chair ll chart a way forward....see countries hit by hurricane de are wrking tins out...but here na to eat money we sabi God help us


Considering doing a roof parapet?
check out price comparison between a concrete cast in suite against polystyrene parapet.
Polystyrene parapet is light weight and doesn't have much impact on the land.
excellent usage on swampy environment.

And this is Boki local government area.
No good road/social amenities in that part of the world.
Sometimes I wonder how people survive there.

There will be no need for that if all the states just kept their wealth and paid taxes to the FG.

Plus what of if it's a Federal Road? undecided

Do you expect an individual or the community to build a bridge? Then what's the responsibilities of the government when the good people of the FRN are paying tax? undecided

The core responsibilities of the government is to provide good roads, potable water, Electricity, security and Good health services to it people... When all these things are been done by an individual or the community then the government has failed to carry out it responsibilities...

At my former residence, there was a long canal separating us from the other community knowing fully well that only a bridge can spare us 250 naira transport daily if we are to go there. Since government have refused to help we the resident teenagers including me and few youths had to paddle a canoe to build a wooden bridge which took us for about few weeks to complete up till that bridge is still in existence both the rich and the poor now walk on it.

It's not that am trying to make a utter anything unmeaningful so people will see that me too i can talk
