Flood has cut off the link road between Onuebum and Otuoke, home town of former President Goodluck Jonathan, in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
The road which links Azikoro-Agbura-Onuebum-Otuoke is the shortest route to Ogbia town for Bayelsans residing around the Ekeki surbub to Ovom, Yenagoa, the state capital.
Otuoke is host to the Federal University of Technology with a large student population and mixture of non-indigenes doing business in the fast growing community.
Only haulage trucks could pass through the submerged portion of the road due to the volume of water.
Motorists, especially commercial vehicles, plying the route through the Azikoro axis are now forced to go through the Elebele-Emeyal flank.
Several car owners are now forced to make a u turn on getting to the flooded portion of the road for fear of being swept off by the flood.
Also, restaurant operators and palm wine sellers along the route have been displaced by the surging flood.
A driver who pleaded anonymity said that they had since abandoned the Azikoro-Agbura-Onuebum-Otuoke route because of the deplorable state of the route and the velocity of the flood.
“It will be a suicide mission for a small vehicle to go through the flood. There are so many craters on the submerged road that could prove fatal for somebody not conversant with the road. I almost lost control of my car on Monday when I drove through the flooded portion,” he said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteMr Anonymous. It is news. It is reported. Or are you suggesting it should not be reported because it may embarrass the fmr president?
ReplyDeleteIf anything, maybe he should be embarrassed if nothing else but for those who are wise to understand the effect of bad governance.
That's how low journalism has been reduced to. Making a mockery of a whole community for the selfish reason of spiting a former president who in his own right is enjoying the spoils of an elder statesman.
ReplyDeleteLeave dis nigerianeye people,there journalism is really getting unprofessional by d day...leave Jonathan alone,am sure none of ur family members have ever occupied dat exalted position...so please NE respect urselves...
ReplyDeleteThe evil you do will surely live after you. Jona must have learnt a lesson. Praise singers and ass lickers have disappeared, time to face reality. Fix the road dumbo.
