Hurricane Sandy: Will Nigeria Learn From The Emergency Response Plan Of USA? by MyVicky: 6:25am On Oct 30, 2012
I wonder what could have happened if the approximately 60 million Americans on the path of Hurricane Sandy were to be in the Nigerian situation? That is about 40% of the population of Nigeria gone since we depend so much on 'cutting the head after an head ache'! The response of the states in USA that anticipated Hurricane Sandy is commendable. The residents of the affected areas will forever be grateful to the states that put measures in place to combat the effect of the storm. How I wish we would have the same measures in place and take urgent actions to the flood victims in Nigeria instead of the empty promises and visits just for political jamboree and gaining of undeserved political advantage? It has been weeks now and the victims still groan daily! Nigeria needs a dramatic solution!!!

At times I feel ashame to be a Nigerian.When I look around most times,I can't help but feel empty,wishing I could just disappear and never come back to this GOD FORSAKEN country.The flood that over took most states of the country are yet to be properly addressed,the victims groaning and gnashing their teeth in pains and agony!What did those in authority do?They couldn't careless.

This country needs one remedy and that is REVOLUTION,except that we will remain likes 100 years from now!

No we will however watch it on CNN , BBC , Aljazeera and the likes while we hope and pray that we dont experience such because it will be disastrous ,right now we are still allocating money for the flooding situation in the country while wild animals struggle for accommodation with the displaced .

let us just be thanking Baba God that our flood didnt come with high winds and hurricane, coz that would have being more terrible...... we dont even have good stations who watch after our weather activities. they said we lunch a rocket outer space, what was it for ..noting, still our political leaders ask us to obey our father land which they dont even care about, but wen it come to making the national budget they start making useless noises. May God Help Us All.... sometime am ashamed of being a Nigerian.

The Governors would be sent to Germany and the senators to perhaps Brazil.


Emergency Response Systems? Fail. Damage Control (umm, I guess we've seen much of it during the flooding).

How do you even get in touch with the relevant authorities to report a scenario? Snail Mail? Any Emergency Numbers?


We should be thankful that we do not get these kind of disasters over here.

[b]Imagine say a 'Hurricane Abimbola' is heading for Ekiti State in 3 weeks.. First and foremost;

1. Prophet T.B Joshua will prohesy the hurricane.

2. Ekiti State Governor will hold a press conference advicing the people of the state to remain calm as government is working hard to see how they can tackle the situation.

3. National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) will grant an interview on Channels TV and AIT saying that they are well trained and prepared to handle the crisis. That they are untop of the Situation.

4. The Federal Government will wait for the Hurricane to first land and wipe out Ekiti State then;

- Hold a day of National Mourning and Prayers and order the flag be flown at half mast.

- Visit the disaster location for a first hand assessment of the damage.

- Visit the survivors camp and share relief material (Mosquito nets, rice and
Indomie)

- Set up a committee to investigate the Hurricane and see how we can prevent future hurricanes from visiting Nigeria.

- Release billions of Naira (on Paper) for disaster management.

- Sack the Minister of Water Resources for failing to contain the water.

- Commend the State Governor, NEMA, Red Cross and other emergency services unit for their quick response.

5. The Senate willl hold an emergency session and condemn the 'Hurricane'.

6. Churches around Nigeria will hold crusades and Programmes with Titles like 'May Hurricane wipe out your enemies'.. 'Calming the Hurricenes in your life'.. 'Finding the Rainbow in your Hurricane'.. e.t.c..

7. M.I Abaga will release a single about hurricanes.

8. Femi Falana (SAN) will sue the Hurricane, F.G and Ekiti State government for their poor handling of the Hurricane.

9. A thread will be launched on NAIRALAND and be put on the frontpage and will hit over 20 pages in its first 6 hours.

10. CPC, ACN, APGA and others will blame the PDP and Jonathan for the Hurricane.

11. Jokes about BOKO HARAM claims responsibility for the Hurricane will go viral on Facebook, Blackberry Messenger and Twitter..

12. Many People will change their Blackberry Display Pictures to 'Hurricane Pictures' and their status will read.. #Hurricane Things..
