See current suituation of Ariaria international market in Aba (photos)

Ariaria Int'l Market is a popular market in Aba. Abia state. And as you can clearly see, it's a mess right now. It's overly flooded, and there's constant stagnant water, forcing shop owners to abandon their shops. The people in the area say it's due to bad road and bad drainage system. They are begging their govt to look into it for them. More photos after the cut...

      This is life threatening.. The stagnation of water will weaken the foundation of the buildings in that environment and force them to collapse.. Not talking bout epidemic infections

    The truth is, we Nigerians are our own worst enemy. Govt can't do everything. Our own part is to keep our immediate surroundings neat and clean, abi govt should do that too? We eat, drink and throw all manner of debris into the gutters and on the streets and when the clog up, we start shouting ' Government'. when are we ever going to take ownership, Nigerians? We deserve the dirty environment and blocked Drainages, after all we brought it on ourselves. Change starts with everyone of us and the actions we exhibit.

    The people living there are responsible for their mess. you can't expect the government to come to your aid every time. the reason it is flooded is because their drainage system has been blocked with dirts. Abia people take note! you all need to change your lifestyle and start living clean. you guys arent kids.
    that's how they are slowly creeping into Abuja and dropping dirts around!

    @freeborn zina, see how myopic and stupid you are. Try and be civil for once. I just got back from a tour in which i passed through the same road you just mentioned. I am yoruba married to ibo and have this to say. Nigerians in general need to learn that keeping our immediate environment clean is a collective effort. The government cannot do it alone. When you take care of your environment and keep the trash well even if the government refuses to do their own bit let's contribute and do it. I keep wondering how there wont be an epidemic with what i just saw in Abia state. I can authoritatively tell you that the work has begun with respect to clearing the decade long heaps of waste everywhere in God's own state. Let us all lend Okezie a helping hand and support him. He will surely perform with what i saw these past 3 days.

    Sweeping, cleaning, proper disposal of refuse and empty packing neither make you poor nor does it make you loose your with naira aquired chieftancy title or PHD. The empty bottle of water you left on the road will swim to your palace next day. Learn, change, teach your children and leave a legacy of tidyness. Your St. James bible and later day saints will not do it for you. You must do it yourself.
