The torrential rainfall caused it. Yesterday alone, it rained heavily in lagos for over one hour...in October. Imagine.

Only a failed government would be chasing shadows. Why not dredge our waterway? The dredging contract given to Uzodinma by the past administration was not done. I wonder why the imo state governor hasn't been summoned by the efcc over it cos he collected a heavy mobilisation on the contract but did nothing

MasterJayJay:
I thought as much. How can a small dam make River Niger and River Benue to overflow?

What are the records of the average depth of River Niger and River Benue for the last 50 years? Would dredging minimize the flood?


Many areas have never experienced this kind of flooding..

The government is still clueless on the major factors that led to the floods.

Buhari is just a disaster. Left, right and center.

owobokiri:
Lol
What do you expect from a government that goes around claiming to know those behind Boko Haram and Oil bunkering, but will never mention the names nor arrest the culprits..?

They have started defending Cameroon, the same way the defended both Chad and Niger as it regards insurgencies in the north. Same way they defend foreign Oil multinationals that are plundering the country.

Even the Cameroonians will be shocked with this response.

You forgot to add APC too

Werey, so you thought you can use malicious and manipulation of Tinubu's picture to convince someone like my types to hate Jagaban, I'm just telling you to try your madness more in order for you to understand that it won't change minds of those that love ABAT till the day of election.

Jagaban 2023 is a goal.

Show us their pictures please?

AyePappy:
The problem is that our waterways need dredging as heavy rains wash silt into the river beds thus making the rivers overflow during heavy downpours.

Other than dredging we need to reclaim and help retain shorelines by simply planting trees in and around water shorelines.

Trees not only act as rain interceptors thereby reducing the impact on loose soil but also help prevent both surface and subsurface erosion.

The Cameroonian dam release has an effect as an increase discharge during heavy rains will impact on the entire Niger basin.

The dam is quite old and silt deposit would have accumulated thus requiring more frequent discharge also areas around the dam wall in Cametoun would attract farmers and settlements making the dam engineers to release more water to prevent flooding upstream.

The best thing we can do is plant much vegetation along our waterways, and dredge the river bed. Building resrtviour dams along the Benue will be expensive and take up much land that we don't have anymore owing to our population.

Nobody should blame this on climate change as that is a ruse but rather poor land and water management.
