15 Days To Go , Where Is The Massive Flood Predicted For 2013 ? by lightuplightup: 3:45pm On Dec 15, 2013 |
If you can recall very well, agencies like Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET),Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) and Annual Flood Outlook (AFO) predicted a more massive flood for 2013 in Nigeria, according to them it will be more massive than the devastating flood of 2012 which caused a lot of damage in several states. To be more precise, here are some news articles that highlighted this prediction http://www.nigeriaintel.com/2013/04/27/worse-flood-coming-fg-warns/ http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/31-states-to-experience-devastating-flood-in-2013-says-report/146070/ http://en.starafrica.com/news/nigeria-forewarned-of-disruptive-2013-floods.html http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/06/2013-flood-prediction-sema-wants-cross-river-communities-relocated/ These agencies are the agencies that claimed to have predicted last years devastating flood which actually came to pass ,they said their warning was ignored that was why there was great damage. In 2013 they said it will be more. My question now is ,there are only 15 days or so left for 2013 to be over, when will this greater flooding take place ? and what will bring about it ? Is it this hard biting HARMATTAN that will bring this mighty flooding ? or will there be another 2013 after this one , may be ,there will .NIMET am waiting for your answer o. Here are my takes on this issue, don’t crucify me for it , its just my own opinion. There is certainly not going to be any massive flood this year again. These predictions were mere conjectures, they were just using the whole nation to do “kalo-kalo” or “try your luck” their research was not thorough enough , they just cashed on the success of last years predictions to make a hasty conclusion which is not good for a nation like Nigeria. Please you people should go and meet American Meteorological Agency for more training. I wonder how many Nigerian will take you people serious the next time you make any prediction |

When those predictions are made, money is allocated to make contingency plans So its a prediction well spent 1 Like |

Thanks for bringing up this issue. Well, the truth is that it was a strategy employed by the agency NEMA to handtwist the national assembly and FG to inflate their budget. MDAs use anything to dupe the govt. NFF cos of the success they have recorded so far are also into this kind of game now. |

Man proposes but God disposes. God will continue to turn the wisdom of this world to folly. Hallelujah. Christ has won. |
