My goodness! See the state of Douglas Road in Owerri

This is the state of Douglas Road - a federal road in Owerri, Imo state. It's been turned into a refuse dump and people walk around it like it's normal. Can't the government do something about it? More pics after the cut...

Everything is not about the government! Even in UK where the council takes care of rubbish, there's still community association that goes around taking care of things. People in this area should be ashamed: so if government don't take care of you, you can't do it? The sickness and diseases this will cause will affect primarily these people and yet they keep dumping the rubbish!!!

Linda the road is worst than this,am sure the person that sent this picture is scared of been beaten when snapping it thatz y ur only seen d dumps.... The road is terrible n Rochas is doing nothing about it bcos he wants people selling in Douglas market to relocate to Relive Market where he (Rochas) have a big plaze..... Rochas is a criminal,he is making life hard for the poor n yet dose poor pple voted fr dis 1 legged being.... Destroyin shops in claims of working d roads yet he will never complete it. Giving keke drivers deadline to stop working soon cos he imported a mini taxi smaller than betos self... Rochas if ur reading this blog,let me tell you what ur followers won't tell u. Your doing more harm than good to your political dreams. The streets are angry yet u dnt care bcos you built yourself a billion naira home in owerri. Mechanic village is waiting for you,they will take you to court again. Be wise oga rochas cos ur not the Fav of Ndi owerri.

THEIR CROOKED GOVERNOR USED THE MONEY MEANT FOR HIS PEOPLE TO BUILD MANSION AND SEND HIS KIDS TO THE MOST EXPENSIVE SCHOOLS, AND HE USED THE REST OF THE MONEY TO SPONSOR THE ELECTION OF HIS NEW SLAVE MASTER, MUHAMMADU BUHARI.

IF PDP IS CORRUPT, BUHARI AND APC ARE SATAN. BUHARI AND APC ARE MORE CORRUPT THAN SATAN.

SHAME ON OKOROCHA. SHAME ON APC. SHAME ON BUHARI.

MY Governor.....My Governor...My family My family....is unfortunate the government of Owelle Rochas Okorocha is a family affair, these show how dirty the Governor is...how can imo be better under such dirty condition...let the governor instruct his wife, son-in-law, his younger brother, his cousin, daughter, grand child or unborn child to take up the contract to at least, keep imo clean, since the government of imo state is now a full time family affair.
I couldn't believe myself, a commissioner under this present and past administration, asked for a bottle of champagne in 40-40 night club in Owerri last week, I asked him why?.. he said the Governor's family won't even let any of the commissioners keep a dine..lol

How will Nigeria then grow when people are not punished for their ill doing? Is it the government that dumped it there? Most people there don't pay any tax yet they expect a miraculous government to bring other oil producing states money to remove it for them. The residents even know those that dump there.Every mans immediate environment is his responsibility. The people in this area must fork out for the cleaning, that way they will not allow anyone drop a single pin. We need to create a sense of ownership, this can be done only by giving up something dear to you for a cause, in this case money. Everybody needs to start bearing their individual crosses in this jungle called Nigeria forget illiteracy rate.

Nicole said...

The former governor made environmental sanitation compulsory every 3rd Saturday of the month but the new government stopped it. Ohakim may not have been a good governor but no one can deny that Owerri was very neat during his administration. The clean and green initiative worked.

Nicole said...

I'm very disappointed in the new administration.

Nicole said...

That's not true

Nicole said...

My dear I travelled to owerri for a wedding and I drove past that mansion. I was soooo pissed! How can someone seize people's lands to build an estate just because he's the governor ? The state is way worse than it was before .

No matter how much people collect and organise refuse, if there is no place to get rid of it, it will end up somewhere. This is were the government has to provide incinerator facilities or transfer to landfill sites etc. If not it will pile up somewhere.

So the government is to blame!

There are streets like this in EVERY city in Nigeria, except Abuja.
