It's taking them over 250years to get here and seriously struggling

I believed you live in this world, similar incidents have killed over 50,000 USA citizens in the last 10years.

USA and U.K are good at downplaying their situation while Africans destroyed their tourism industry by badmouthing themselves

This year alone, in Glenfell Building UK, over 500 people born to death including children in broad daylight, over 500 at a go, but guess what, the news only lasted for 2days.

I can't imagine 500 people being born in Nigeria and the news ll be done with in 2days

First of all the death toll for the grenfell is 80. One fulani herdsmen massacre is enough to kill that many. And our leaders will even fail to acknowledge it. I doubt if there is a single month when such massacre does not happen. People die in many other silly ways too.

If you have been following international news you will realise that it is not true 'that the news lasted 2 days'. You can be sure than people will be held accountable. Buildings collapse all the time here killing people, nobody is held responsible. Soldiers harass civilians anyhow. I can list so many preventable ways people die here. How many times have you heard of large numbers of people dying preventable deaths in the UK or US?

You can prepare for disaster, and take preventive measures and things will still go wrong (eg I'm a and HARVEY). But you learn from previous mistakes and ensure it never happens again. Does Nigeria seem like a nation that ever learns? No.

Nigeria is almost 60 with abundant resources. I don't think we have an excuse for the level we are at the moment.

Does this mean we are hopeless? No! But it begins with admitting that there is something fundamentally wrong with this country. NO need for excuses.

Please, The UK and US whose strides you try to downplay are worthy of emulation. This is a fact!

Am I not better off in my country, Nigeria even with all the poor leadership and insecurity that exists here. One of the worst issues humans can face is climatic problems that are disastrous. All of them in that location would end up forfeiting all they have laboured for including mortgaged homes and others valuables. how many of them can get back everything back from their so called caring govt. And these are countries Nigerians are dying to migrate to.

Ultimately, whether you are better off in Nigeria can only determined on an individual basis.

But let me tell you why the absence of natural disasters doesn't necessarily mean Nigeria is better.

The average life expectancy for an american is 79 years. For a Nigerian it is 55 years, I think this is the 7th lowest in the world (not so sure, but definitely one of the lowest).

What this means that in spite of natural disasters an American, on average, will live to be 79 years old while a Nigerian will live to be 55.We have not even talked about the quality of life.

If its naija, trust us. In attempt to escape, we would not maintain the line those vehicles are following. We would have made use of every available space including the fields and the lane for coming vehicles. Such a crazy country. I wonder whether we will ever get it right.

'This is a storm that will kill you if you don't get of the way'


'We can rebuild your homes, but we can't rebuild your lives' Governor of Florida




The largest evacuation in US history is underway as more than 5.6million people have been ordered to leave Florida before Category 5 Hurricane Irma strikes the Sunshine State.


The state's Gov. Rick Scott urged people who hadnot left yet to leave as soon as possible on Friday.

He warned those who plan to stay, that they may have to ride out the dangerous storm at their own risk.

He explained that the biggest concern with the powerful hurricane is the predicted storm surge that will come along with the lashing winds and heavy rains.



The storm has the potential to do $125billion worth of damage when it strikes Miami and possibly much more.


Irma has caused devastation in the Caribbean, killing at least 24 and leveling entire islands.

Extensive damage has been reported on Barbuda and St Martin, with over 90 per cent of buildings wrecked.

The storm is currently battering the northern coast of Cuba.

All of you shouting "if it's Nigeria, this and that.." if the government tells you to evacuate your homes, will answer them? I remember before the Lekki Floods the Lagos State government warned residents about it but did they listen?. We are always quick to castigate the government forgetting naturally we Nigerians are very stubborn and would rather say "God forbid" , "It's not my portion" or go to one Church and sit-down than be proactive. Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.

Look at these photos. All I see here are bunch of Civilised people. Look at the filling station, very organized queue.but for here some una go don cut one corner to go front.

I hope if you don't mind if I ask for further clarifications.

Since the earth is a globe, there is actually no 'west' or 'east' or 'north' or 'south'. The west, east north and south owe their names to history rather than actual locations.

Aside that, Asia (which is in the east) is very much prone to flooding and hurricanes.
north south east and west refers to the four corners of the compass or the four corners of a map .Not the corners of the globe. America has recorded more numbers of tonadoes , hurricanes than any other continent. East do not experience much of hurricanes what they face most is tsunami

Government told them to evacuate? Did the government provide alternatives?

Has the government even earned the people's trust? Nonody believes the government. Why should they? Do we even have a government?

All the orderliness you see did not just happen. There is a result of long history of a society where mutual trust has been earned, between the citizens and government, and among citizens.

Still boils down to Nigerians being the problem of Nigeria. Who votes the government in?.. the Nigerian Government is the perfect reflection of Nigerians as a people.
