Others include Akwakuma/Amakohia road, Old Okigwe road, Amaraku roundabout in Isiala Mbano local government, Amakohia ubi road, Irete/Ndegwu road all in Owerri west local government among others.
While surveying the areas affected, it was observed that poorly constructed drainages were said to be one of reasons the rains trapped citizens in their homes.
One of such drainage is in the front of Imo government House.
According to Mr. Ikechukwu Amadi, “Imo people should expect the worst because there is no standard drainage to channel the water.
“Some of the ones you see are poorly constructed and could not last for two months. The government should please go and look for professionals to handle construction work in Imo state.”

Our Sweat, Blood and Tears could become Energy Sources of the Future

By
In an effort to make the batteries that power wearables and medical devices safer, scientists have developed new flexible batteries that can run on saltwater — and maybe one day blood, sweat, or tears. The lightweight batteries, described in a paper published this week in the journal Chem, can withstand being folded in half a hundred times. And they’re safer: instead of running on toxic chemicals, they’re powered by relatively harmless liquids like saltwater and IV rehydration solutions. That’s key if you have a battery powering a device that’s worn on or inside your body. That way, if the battery leaks, the stuff inside won’t hurt you. Batteries work by storing electrical energy as chemical energy. They have three main components: two metal electrodes that conduct electricity — one that’s positively charged, one that’s negatively charged — and a soup or paste of electrolytes in between. When the battery is powering a device, ions shed their electrons and then drift through the el

Happy Birthday Bishop David Oyedepo -Pastor Enoch Adeboye The Rolls Royce of Bishops Some years ago, someone gave me an article on cars to read. It listed the Mercedes Benz as the STRONGEST car. It listed BMW as the FASTEST car It listed LEXUS as the most comfortable car. I turned to the man that gave me the article to read and asked in my confusion "so where do we place Rolls Royce"? The man smiled and said "sir, you can't place Rolls Royce in this category; when we are rating cars, Rolls Royce is in a class of it's own". There are bishops and there are bishops. ......and When you are rating bishops, Bishop Oyedepo stands in a class of his own. Bishop Oyedepo is the Rolls Royce of bishops.
