"While in my home town, Dikenafai, in Ideato South Council Area of Imo state, for the burial of my uncle, late Maxi Collins Uchegbu, I made out time yesterday (July 19, 2015) to shop for palm wine at Afor Ukwu in neighbouring Isiekenesi. I drove on the Dikenafai-Isiekenesi road which leads from Okwelle to Urualla. This scene at Isiekenesi struck me. On the background is a petrol filling station which had closed because of this threatening erosion. Also, the Nwabosi Microfinance Bank (one storey building) is under threat just like the sprawling church complex on the opposite side. This is the reality that commuters and vehicle users on this road face daily. I did not see any sign of governmental assistance to address this. This road actually leads to Governor. ROCHAS OKOROCHA'S country home at Ugboko, a shouting distance from this site. He does not think this necessary. Rather, he built a different road to access his home town. Give another one or two raining seasons and this road would have been effectively cut and the property you see here would become history. From where would help come for the helpless people who risk their lives everyday on this road?"
