The residents of makurdi displaced by flood for d past 3-4 weeks are beginin to be hopeful abut goin back to their various homes. A kind of flood dat was experienced last in 1969, has flooded not less than 500 house within the makurdi metropolice, a situation dat rendered many homeless and has made them refugees. For d past 3 days, the water level has been on d decrease which made the flood viticms to believ dat in d next few weeks, the water level must hav reduced drastically and they wuld able to go back to their houses. Considerin a comment attributed to a federal govt official as sayin that federal govt cannot do more than they hav done, may GOD Almighty has decided to listen to cry of d masses.
