This is sad. I hope those budgetary allocations we have had over the years for situations like this can now be put to use if it hasn't been looted 82 Likes 3 Shares |

My heart goes out to the affected people. If not that Nigeria is a failed nation, government will help them out as I know that lost and damaged properties will require a lot of money to fix up. My happiness is that I haven't heard of any casualty 17 Likes |

The flood is usually pretold before it happens. I've heard many agencies call for the Dams to be worked on, drainages cleared in that area and all to mitigate the flood..it feels like it's never done. I can't forget the first time it escalated in 2012. I was travelling as a corper from Benin to Jigawa. That road was unplyable. The rivers had over flowed their bank, farms produce unharvestable, houses submerged, communities made homeless. Traffic we met at Lokoja was 2 weeks old. We had to use a crane to cross our bus tru the nearby River. The scariest experience of my life. One crane carried 2 buses loaded with 15 passengers and 1 small car. 15k per vehicle to cross us. My heart sank over an over in this 10 mins of one of the riskiest moves of my life. Like what if the crane just bends?, We'd just sink. Kai!. Years after it's still same.

Looking at the aerial view of the affected areas, it appears like there used to be a river there before houses was built on its channel. Anyway, it's sad that such an issues wasn't forestall before it got to this level. 13 Likes |
