that's advantages of village this can't happen in a village with trees and shrubs it's time we encourage afforestation

This is so pathetic. May the bereaved families be consoled.... Eni báà l'ómò ( only those who were affected knows)

TOPCRUISE:

which climate change. This is is what happens when we block drainage channels due to our activities. The forest in Abeokuta were not flooded so if you dance and run there flood will not meet you there

this has nothing to do with drainage... it's called climate change... it happen everywhere in d world from 1st world country to 10th world country... there is nothing we can do about it unless we stop tampering with nature... did u see the volume of water

I am glad you wouldn't wish me death.


Is there a way to determine those who knows were they are heading or will heading?

No but I would pay attentions to the signs when you do see them God loves those who love him not just on Sundays

meedx:

Even the ones constructed, have we not blocked them with trash. we all need to have a responsible behaviour.

Everyone's guilty in this country jare

That's one thing I love abt the northerners.

galadima77:
rip to d deceased, quite sad and unfortunate.... but Baba Iyabo should have made greater drainages as IBB did for us in Minna... Some things are preventable!

In as much as we we are lacking behind in so many things in Nigeria doesn't mean such occurrence are limited to us...Japan lost over 200 lives to flood last week...even USA gets hits by wild fires that spreads miles...so many times they have bn hit by massive floods that led to lost of lives and property...It's a global phenomenon bro...Global warming

They town planning from day one has bn lacking but there massive drainages around those places...but d constant dumping of refuse is the order of d day...despite the provision for refuse disposal.

Thanks for mentioning the countries you quoted, can the magnitude of natural disasters that happen in those countries be contained here?

Tsunami struck Japan some years back that even affected their nuclear plant, did you watch the events on CNN, can such response be done in Nigeria?

Wild fires happen in America well, lives are lost, properties destroyed, but does it change the fact that the government quick response save a lot of lives and the rebuilding program are usually top notch

Tunagee:


Sebi dem say Ogun state governor dey develop Abeokuta, and that's the reason he neglected places like mowe and environs. Dem never start.

Mehn we would be saying another thing if those roads weren't developed

Thats what even reduced the effect of that rain

I be dey plan go buy land and build house for abeokuta oooo, make I sharpaly go buy my land for akure

Well u are so correct...we are always reactive in Nigeria instead of bn preemptive.

On a lighter note, I think God knew what we can and can't handle as a continent, hence, He created far away from d fault lines...far away from natural disaster beyond our capabilities....

Rebuilding program you say...even if monies are budgeted for it in Nigeria, more than half would have bn stolen stashed away in foreign countries...Where are our Ecology Funds? all gone.

I left out the comma before not just on sundays it means we are judged for everyday of our life...are you a teenager? May confusion not be your portion

Pavore9:
Really sad. Poor drainage system and dumping of waste into the ones that are available.

That was not the issue here. The problem is building house near river, even on parts they know get flooded maybe once in five years. Also, Some rains, no matter the drainage will overwhelm the drainage system.

I am not a teenager but you appear to be speaking in the Different language, i am even more confused than i was.

newbie2018:


if the flood came in once as a gush then yes no drainage can avert this but rainfall then yes the drains can do the job but of the drains are blocked then sorry... water will sit

In this case it poured heavily judging from the large area the water covered

whats hard to understand in God gives signs all I was trying to say is watch what you say

but i don't believe in God, i don't think God exists.

JUSTICETHEO:


When it floods in the SS or SE you blame it on poor infrastructure and bad governance but when it happens in the SW it is climate change.

Nice one

Ok still pay attention to the signs that he does have a great evening
