For some weeks now, the rumour has been going on in the community about the decision of the firm to channel the gutter to the premises of the primary school.<\/p>\n<p>An Umuaka Times reporter who visited the stadium confirmed that the entire football pitch and the whole compound of the school are now a big mess. Mr\u00a0 Dike Uchechukwu Kenneth, a footballer and the coach of Father Eburuaja FC, told Umuaka Times that football training at the stadium has seriously been stalled as a result of the flood from the gutter. &#8220;The whole place is in a bad shape. You can&#8217;t even walk because of the mud. The only reason we are able to train today is that it has not rained here for some days. Any day it rains, nobody will be able to enter here again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6586\" src=\"http:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/8-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"628\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/8-3.png 628w, https:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/8-3-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The flooded football pitch of the stadium.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chief Mike Nwaikwu, one of the top sports administrators in Umuaka condemned the act and asked why the stakeholders in Umuaka are keeping quiet over the entire episode.
