Flood At Onitsha Market As River Niger Rises by Ucheosefoh(m): 3:04pm On Sep 28, 2012
Danger at Onitsha as river Niger level rises the water level is rising to the extent of forcing fish traders and cloth traders in Onitsha out in few weeks if government did not intervene.

Traders are complaining that the state government have ignored their calls for help, I was also told that Asaba axis were not left out as many houses along the river have been over taken by river Niger. I decided to report what I saw because I was troubled and felt their pain and their fear of losing their source of living to the surging river.

Which government will intervene? The ones shipping our money to countries that have no respect for Nigeria? They use our money to enrich these countries and the same countries turn around to make jest of our citizens.
Whenever U hear govt intervention in this country,just know that the case is hopeless

I see no market flooding in the pix. I see no traders trying to save their goods. Or are the boats the market

Congrats BTW, you made the front page.
