The drainage system is poor hence the flood


most of the flood we see are but self inflicted problems, e.g. we often block the drainage with all manner of items, rubbish and trashes that should be thrown away in an appropriate disposal bins are all found in our drainages.

Poor drainage system. Despite that Kano state takes home the most lion share from local government councils allocations due to the myriad local government councils created by Abacha in Kano state.

Kano governors are usually the first to kick against any talk of political restructuring in Nigeria. For the nay Sayers to political restructuring, it is like the political structure created by Abacha and other northern soldiers, no Nigerians in a democracy must change.


The stance of nay Sayers to political restructuring is one of the reasons Nigeria must split very soon.

look at what you are saying, didn't you do Geography? Why did you think Benin is classified as a rain forrest zone, and kaduna is sahel savannah? Or why do Benin have 2 peak raining seasons and kaduna has one?

Phots from BBC website http://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-africa-33743212?ns_mchannel=social&ns_source=twitter&ns_campaign=bbc_live&ns_linkname=

I guess this happens easily in the North (but also elsewhere) because the soil is impervious with low water retentivity. So the rain pours down, but does not sink in, and moves on the soil surface, causing flooding.

The rain in the South comes with little or no wind, in the north rain are accompanied by Rainstorm and tsunami

North = desertification, excessive flooding, drought, excessive windiness, erosion
SW = erosion, ocean surge, flooding
SE = erosion, some flooding
SS= flooding, ocean surge

I get you now, definitely we can compare the wind in the north to this place. Sorry for misunderstanding you. But there are times the wind that comes along with the rain has remove roofs from houses in Benin. I have seen two instances.
