OVER
one
million Nigerians
may
die due
to the
effect
of
flooding
if
no precautionary measure is taken, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has said. NEMA said if the Lake Nyos Dam in Cameroon collapses, a development it sees happening in the next three years, Nigeria will be the worse for it, considering the effect the release of over 55 million cubic metres of water will have on the country. The Director-General of NEMA, Muhammed Sani-Sidi, who revealed this in Abuja, on Thursday, said a 2005 United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) report had predicted the collapse of the dam in less than 10 years. Sani-Sidi, represented at the event by the Director of Administration in the agency, Zanna Muhammad, said the report had it that the collapse of the dam would be caused by gradual erosion from rain, wind and lake water, or as a result of violent volcanic eruption. “It is estimated that between Cameroon border and River Benue, 50 settlements, including Katsina-Ala, Kashimbilla, Waya, Manga, Gamovo, Andie, Terwegh and over 15,000 hectares of land will be flooded. “Also, over one million people and 20,000 herds of cattle and other livestock will be affected and could perish,” he said. Meanwhile, passengers and motorists stranded on the Lokoja-Abuja highway as a result of the overflooding of the road by River Niger will continue their journey today, as the road will be re-opened.

GOD forbid bad thing!!!!

Na drastic reduction in population be that o.
GOD forbid in Jesus name

A country like nigeria thatcan not even tackle mere mosquitos,cannot tackle disastrous climate change.One day an island like lagos will be wiped out from the map,going by nigerian's altitude towards tackling major issues.

This not potholes or NEPA blackout issues anymore,you know.It is about man against the real wraths of nature,about natural selection and about the prepared still standing.

Nigerians and the goverment won't even react as if they hear anything but when 2015 comes that's when we'll start panicking. It's true that that a black man don't budget/plan for more than a year.
