AKWA IBOM MAY SINK IF WE DON’T STOP BUILDING ON DRAINS AND NATURAL WATERWAYS

The geographical region occupied by Akwa Ibom State is threatened by natural disasters largely as a result of uncontrolled human activities. If the occupants do not desist from destructive land use, Akwa Ibom may sink under water. This is a warning given by a building professional, Architect Chris Umoren.

The MD/CEO of Stainerz Properties Ltd Architect Chris Umoren warned of impending disaster waiting to happen in Akwa Ibom due to the effect of land misuse. In a chat with a reporter of WetinHappen magazine, over the weekend in Uyo, Architect Chris Umoren said people misuse land by having activities in areas where naturally, by simple urban development laws, they shouldn’t be doing so.

“People now build on drains, and on natural pathway of water thus, they block the paths that water should naturally flow, and of course with such blockade, water must naturally find its way, and when that happens, it comes with a lot of destruction.”, he said.

He also added that Akwa Ibomites should pay serious attention to this issue as it is in a near-critical stage. He said “Today, even with a little downpour, our streets and houses are flooded and we are quick to apportion blames on the government, without knowing that we are the cause of that situation.”

He advised that people should stop disposing their wastes in the gutters and he commended the government for taking critical steps to save our environment. He however added that the task is not just for the government but for every Akwa Ibomites.

Chile 2015: What Happens To The World When Eagles Flock

Uduak Umo Eagles don’t flock. But not Emmanuel Amuneke’s boys at the FIFA Under 17 World Cup holding at Chile. These ones field one of the youngest squads; play with a deadly combination of energy, appetite and intellect. With the sharpest attack edge in the tournament, the most painstaking midfield, an amazingly brave and athletic goalie, a shaky defence unit notwithstanding, this Nigerian Golden Eaglets prove the danger when Eagles flock. Announcing Prospect Soccer is like a religion in Nigeria. And it wouldn’t be out of place to say that the English Premier league only began to gain significant followership in Nigeria when Nigerians ran out of patience for the national teams and local clubs following decay in the administration of the game in the country. In the last decade and more, Nigerians have been deprived the joy of watching their national teams dominate the world. Hence, publicity for Chile 2015 in Nigeria was met with sad indifference. The people no longer i...
