you just can't tell where would be safe in flood case. Especially when everywhere is lowland.

The many years of corruption, stealing, forceful "one Nigeria," incompetence, tribalism, lies, have finally caught up with Nigeria. Everything is falling apart. The country is crumbling like a pack of cards. Death is everywhere!

How did they come about all this details when they were not there

but , u cant read. effing aliterate

God please forgive us

This country is too big to be managed centrally. Buhari should restructure the country so that each of the regions can breath and inject their own ingenuity into running their lives.

Doing so will reduce tension and man-caused killings in the country. Restructuring doesn't mean deny Gombe or Zamfara their share of oil revenue from the Niger Delta.

It simply means we create a target for self-reliance, say 10 years. So, restructure everything now, but phase-out the monthly sharing of oil revenue in 10 years, to allow states to get their revenue plan and capacity together.

More so, even after the 10 years, when implementation of true federalism in respect to revenue sharing kicks in, the federal government - through its tax collection from states can still support states that can't survive financially.

Let us unpack this country and see how we excel as a people!

This country has been engulfed by one calamity after another since the inception of buhari as president, nothing good will ever come out this unfortunate president. And we all thought Jonathan was bad!!!

this flood that took these poor lives is the result of fulani killer squad conjuring rain on the poor community to wipe them out since Nigerian have been crying for too long concerning their gruesome killing they have devised a new means of decimating them without any one pointing accusing fingers on them

what a way to die.
