As a student of forestry and environmental management, i am poised to explore my profession, and want to encourage your spirits on this good work. The best approach a "young gully site" should be by paying immediate and proactive attention to the site, using gully-landslide specialised plant species such as the Bambussa vulgaris , Vetiveria zizanoides, Acacia nilotica, among other forest tree species with well rooted moduleous and creeping grasses to hold the soil particles together, reduce water impact on the land. In the aspect of mapping and monitoring the environment, the government should be able to link or partner with international agencies who may have access to the required equipments such as GIS to monitor process of developments and make recommendations and as well arrest there ugly developments that pose serious threat to mankind and the living ecosystem. Dare you are on the track and you know what you are doing. Victor and praise.

I was doing some study on soil erosion pattern in the south-eastern part of Nigeria, and i really got some useful information here. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into the writing. God bless you. There Victor and Praise, thanks a lot for putting this writeup here.

If there is any necessary policy to be put in place to avoid a re-occurrence. once again nice job keep it up! well, its a wonderful article giving the method used to gather information, the arrangement of the article, and the case study is really a good one because not much people know about this area in ABIA STATE.Keep up the good work, but elaborate on the resultant of this erosion( that is looking at the actual environmental causes such as industrial activities or just natural hazards) and the best approach to the redemption of the environment from this ugly situation, either by GOVERNMENT or INDIVIDUALS and some thing like present action by the government on the issue.

The article by Victor and Praise is therefore a welcome attempt to bring the issue to the limelight.The use of GIS as advocated by the authors is also very appropriate. This is because with this potent tool it is possible to monitor accurately the process and the progression of erosion in the various sites and to map the details clearly.The article by Victor and Praise is therefore timely for salvaging the landscape of Eastern Nigeria badly ravaged by soil erosion.

Your response to my queries is well received.

I now only hope that the establishment of the mentioned sustainable preventive measures be prompt to counter the damage before it becomes too late or not incapable to resist the propensity of gully erosion.
