My Neighborhood Watch #56 - Reporting Events Around us
As a day begins it brings new happenings and events full of possibilities and surprises sometime good and sometimes bad. Awaking days comes with a fresh chapters to be unfold and written about.
My today's neighborhood's watch is going to be emotional and sad. So I'm going to write briefly on the current rain erosion and how it affects a lot citizens around the people living the and their properties.
The picture above show the current situation people are going through in Tabanacle road in Akwa ibom state. The incidents happen on 9th July 2023 after the harvey rain that fall on that night before that very morning those pictures was capture.
I was once living they with my anuty and we way facing the same challenges but I later rent my own apartment and leave her but she later pack out too.
After the last night rain my friend told my about the erosion that has happened and a lot of people properties way destroy by the erosion so I have to take myself they to witness the incident report to me. On getting they I feel so sorry for those that loss's their properties and I try my best to console some of them that was so emotional broke.

This erosion incident was really shock to me because I can remember that in last 3 years ago the street guy way abeg to control all water to one side and it was not disturbing them at all but if to be ask what is really the cause of this erosion.
What really cause this erosion. |

On May 2024 it was official announced by the Akwa Ibom State government that Calabar-itu highway will be a close for the poupose of dual carriageway.
After the announcement the company that was to do the work pack in and start working and they way clearing all the blockage that was set by those community guys to stop the erosion as of 2 to 3 years ago but after removing those blockage the company move to Calabar-itu highway to construct drainage that the will use to channel all the water to but unfortunately for them their plans didn't goes well and it was already a raining season.
So that how the company put the life's of those citizen into danger and people losses their properties in the name of road construction and bad company planning
Those picture above show how affected is the erosion and how people properties are being destroy.
This is way I will stop for today and before I go i will like to invite my friend to join this contest too.

Thank you for your time on my blog
I'm sorry for your loss, this is very disturbing and government should take steps to help your village. Moreover, erosion is due to rain and other reasons which includes deforestation. We should contribute to it to stop cutting trees in high altitude.
Appreciated
