A resident of Port Harcourt, Rivers state has publicly lamented on the cases of flood which has struck a popular Government Residential Area in recent times which obstructs human and vehicular movements.

Below is an excerpt from the post the resident of Port Harcourt shared online:
"This beautiful and road in GRA Phase 3, popularly known as Rotimi Ameachi Drive, is always flooded any time there is rainfall. My office is around the area. On such days like the ones in the pictures,I just leave my car, remove my shoes, roll up my trousers and start trekking but some motorists defy the flood and drive amidst it, most especially Jeep owners. Though the road is good, the poor drainage system always leaves the road flooded."
The government really needs to attend to this with a good drainage system as it is tarnishing the image of the oil rich state.
