This is how you as an individual can help the victims of this Benue flood financially, emotionally and also methods and lifestyles that will prevent this from happening in your place of residence or any part of Nigeria or world you find yourself in.

Prayer and wishing people well is good. But helping people is prayers and wishes answered. Let those who can help financially help financially. If you can’t help financially you can help share this with those who can. Here is how to help them financially.

If you are in Benue or intend to help the Benue Flood Victims Support group with relief materials, you should go to Number 2 Gordon ESA Street, Off Atom Kpera Road, Ankpa Quarters, Markudi Benue State. If you are coming from any part of Nigeria, through bus, your final stop is Wurumkum Roundabout around Peace Mass Transit, Benue State Transport, New Nyanya, Good Is Good Motors and other parks.

It is just a few meters away from Benue State University. At that place you could get an Okada rider or a bus to take you to Ankpa Quarters. If a bus, you should look for a bus going along Federal Medical Centre Markudi. You should also ask questions at this point because the road is crooked.

If you are in Abuja, you should locate Panorama Gardens, Wuse Zone 3, Abuja. If you are coming from Nasarawa axis you should stop at New Nyanya under bridge. You’d find some taxi drivers either along the road or in the park. Look for a bus going to Wuse or Berger. Once at Wuse or Berger, you should look for a bus heading to Wuse Zone 3. Then the driver should handle the Panorama gardens location.

From Niger Axis, you first drop at Zuba if on a cab and take a direct bus going to Wuse or Berger. If you are not close but wish to help them, you should send some money to the Account Name: Community Links and Human Empowerment Initiative. Account Number is: 2017036058. You can call the phones numbers to make any confirmation or investigation: +2348076267728 or +2348036887584. The bank name is First Bank of Nigeria, FBN.

All those habits, comedy and insensitive memes we dole out to catch fun must not be displayed . Using our handles on social media to show support to these victims is really important and therapeutic. There’s a boost in the life of people when they know they are not alone. They could be uplifted or marred by a public reaction to an event or occurrence. Any attempt to make mockery of that sad event must not be promoted.

Another people who should move en mass to help the people are the Churches and Mosques . Because religion plays a great role in the lives of Nigerians, it has gained the power to control the minds of a large portion of us. How our religious leaders and our churches act in times like this could strengthen or weaken us further. The big churches and her leaders should make donations, if they are not already doing so, and ask their rich members to do so.

Here is what we can do to prevent events like this or minimise their impart.

Individuals must start by curbing the attitude of throwing garbage through their car windows while driving or in a bus. Drivers should attach a trashcan in their vehicles where passengers can dispose their trash into. The different agencies regulation road transportation should also mandate this.

Individuals must also clean up their gutters. Our gutters and canals must be free of dirt to prevent flooding. When the gutters are filled and sewage-impassable, the rains, dirty waters, etc., simply look for another path to take. The waters don’t stop flowing because you blocked the channels

Teach your children, loved ones, etc., how to swim . We must cultivate the attitude of helping our children and loved ones learn how to swim. This prepares us for any mishap that could happen as a result of excess rainfall or any problem involving excess water
