Please from an educational point of view, what is The cause of this year's flood? Cos in my area here @Omoku, no more pedestrians O. Canoes everywhere

Is it Gas flaring; melting in The polar region; Opening of the Dams?
Xplain pls and when will this trauma end. Any scientific prediction? I Am very curious

D recent flood is caused by d collapse of some dams due to plate movements, stress, n lots of rain fall.

Thanks ßяσ. Pls can u throw more light on Plate Movement in relation 2 flood. Cos I tot nigeria can't experience any earthquake-related disaster

Earthquake is wen plates snaps n break due to strees, d vibration is d earthquake. In naija's case, its just a very small movement, it occurs everywhere, conitnental plates are always moving but now it most av caused d dams which is filled up to collapse and some other dams like kanji dam has to be opened before they also collapes which culd cause more havoc. If not for these dams we wuld hv been experiencing such floods every year, lack of elecricity, water shortage etc

Have you heard of Global Warming? It is one of the major cause of Flood this year.

Flood is caused by too much rainfall, global warming causes incraese in sea level

Flood is caused due to man's disturbances in d atmospheric structure.

Nigeria flooding in 2012 was caused by opening of Lagdo Dam in the northen Province of Cameroun. The dam was built in 1977 and 1982. The dam is 308 m long, 40 m in height and 9 m thick. The flooding is the worst since 1958.
The dam is located 50 km south of the city of Garoua on the Benue River.
Studies from Ann Arbor, MI: MPublishing, University of Michigan Library
2008 have already revealed the risk factor associated with the Lagdo Dam. http://quod.lib.umich.edu/g/gefame/4761563.0005.101?rgn=main;view=fulltext
In conclusion, the flood was man made.
