The once-thriving community of Ekwulummiri in Anambra's Nnewi South Local Government Area is on the brink of collapse.

Gully erosion has ravaged the town, leaving a trail of destruction and despair. Homes, farmlands, and economic trees have been swept away, displacing families and threatening the very existence of the community.

"I'm scared for my children's future," said Mrs. Nneoma, a resident of Ekwulummiri, decried while speaking to SaharaReporters during a media briefing in Awka. "Every rainy season, we hold our breaths, praying that the gully won't consume more of our land. It's a constant fear that grips our hearts."

The gully erosion has not only destroyed physical structures but also disrupted the community's way of life. Farmers can no longer tend to their land, businesses are struggling, and children are forced to walk long distances to school.

"We've lost count of the number of times we've rebuilt our homes, only to see them washed away by the gully," said Chief Clement Ezeifedikwa, a community leader. "We're tired of living in fear. We need the government to intervene and save our community."

Despite efforts by the community to combat the gully erosion, the problem persists.

"We've planted trees, constructed drainage channels, and created catchment pits, but it's not enough," said Mr. Cassidy Ikejiaku, a youth leader, told SaharaReporters.

"The gully is getting bigger and deeper, and we can't stop it on our own."

The people of Ekwulummiri are crying out for help. They urge Governor Chukwuma Soludo and the Federal Government to declare an emergency and provide urgent assistance to mitigate the disaster.

"We're not just fighting for our homes; we're fighting for our lives," said Mr. Chinedu Anyaso, a stakeholder in the community. "We need the government to act now and save our community from this ecological disaster."

The situation in Ekwulummiri is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of gully erosion in Anambra State. With over 1,000 active erosion sites reportedly in the state, it needs urgent action to prevent further destruction and displacement.

They don't want to die in silence

agulu lamba wont donate or say anything now he will be looking for next burial to attend

yarimo:
Foolish people why are they crying out? Are they not all millionaires and billionaires

Does human suffering always make you happy? Any need for the inane tribalistic jab?

Peter Obi should have solved this gully erosion issue but rather than act, he stole all Anambra money to deposit in his offshore and fidelity bank looking for interest.

Now Obi left the problem for Soludo to battle.

We trust Soludo will do somthing about this. While it’s a kind of natural disaster, they should still be able to contain it a bit.

Where's Obi? Or is it only in the north that he's showing caring for them

Peter Obi did not invest in infrastructure. Only in beer manufacturing.

Lagos is more important… we must develop it

Where is your saviour, Soludo?
The overrated Soludo without any Solution

There is no state that is exempted in this.
Cos I know some people will develop HBD now

I pray so

Hahahah

Our Anambra

Mnhhh.

I know in this country, since the last elections, there has been a comparison between Lagos and Anambra simply because both contestants were former governors. What they don't know they will do indirectly is that Soludo or APC will be the one affected in Anambra. The more you look for problems there, the more it shows the current government is not doing its work.

The more they find the bad news of Lagos, the more it shows Tinubu did not have any foundational legacy or the current governor is not working.

My own is for the masses to win in this war, if our leaders have any shame in them.

Legacy of Peter Obi... like this one too.

I pity them sha. Sanwo-Olu should consider them as IDPs.

PLEASE, don't laugh. These guys are hungry and poor. If they write ✍️ angrily, na frustration.

If you ever lived in England, you can't want to willingly return to Enugu.

The 2 places have only E-N-G in common. Nothing else.

They will soon accuse you of buygotree

Eeyah.

That one no concern Peter Obi and Obidients. Lagos is their problem.

Soludo is busy chasing native doctors

Yet na Lagos their attention dey

Bottomless pit

Forget long grammar. Obi ruled Anambra for almost a decade and his people have turned to almajiri, begging or help.

Why do you think Psquare abandoned their family house and ran to Lagos?

But the evil forest twins are safe in Lagos ing Obi.

I'm waiting for idddiots that will mention Obi that left office 10 years ago to come and repair gully for them
..
Yet no one calls Fashola for any road, school, or flooding problem in Lagos cos Fashola also left about 10 years ago like Obi
.
This is how u know APC rats are a slave paid to drag Obi for any reason
