did you know the weather in USA or are you mad comparing USA to that stupid country called Nigeria? I received more than 20 flooding alert 3 days before the flooding.

It’s called flash flooding as you stated it doesn’t last an hour may be


Oga how many hours our own flooding dey last?

Flooding happens to all even US. traffic jam,
kidnapping, bombing all these things happen to UK and all other country even more than it happens to Nigeria, the difference is information management, they don't let their rottenness outside.
Have you hard of the recent rampant stabbing in London? How will you hear? Slaves like you will not hear but can't wait to publicize every bad news out of Nigeria,

Don't mess with mother nature. We recall how Fashola goofed during the opening of eko Atlantic that human ingenuity has conquered nature... a wise man knows it is better to work in harmony with mother nature.

Is that why Americans are flooding to Nigeria, passing through Libya and the Mediterranean Sea, just to get permanent residency here and work

Not Nigeria, Not Lagos And Definitely Not Lekki. This Is Washington DC USA Flood

A dangerous flash flood emergency hit the streets of Washington D.C. during the Monday morning commute.

With three to four inches of heavy rain falling in a short amount of time, the National Weather Service said the area saw significant flash flooding.

The rain left drivers stranded on top of their cars and some metro commuters with water streaming into the station.

"Travel will be EXTRAORDINARILY dangerous," the National Weather Service warned on Twitter. "Stay out of low areas, if in a low area that may flood, seek higher ground. Stay off the roads if at all possible. This is not the 'usual' flooding."
The rain flooded the main power vault at D.C.'s National Archives, closing the building. The National Archives is home to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights; all those documents are safe, the National Archives and Records Administration said.

The downpour even appears to have affected the White House basement.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser urged drivers to stay off the roads.

Is actually true, I just saw the images not too long ago on twitter.
Just so you'll know that flooding occurs everywhere on earth.
Ehen ?
But US government knows the day and time of the flood. They know the path the flood will follow. They warn the Citizens and send out emergency aid ahead of time.
They are prepared. Government does everything to maintain drainages

We are never prepared. Our drainage is always blocked with;
1. Nylon bags
2. Plastics bottles
3. That food packed styrofoam thing
4. Pieces of wood
5. Debris from broken buildings
6. Sand from the air and washed off from the back of tippers.

Shut up.

You suffer a severe inferiority complex.

You would look for any excuse to explain the imperfections of foreigners whilst vilifying your kindred for the same issue.

Flood is flood and DC has been aware of flash floods for generations, all they've been able to do is predict it's coming without proferring a long lasting solution.

Be Cautious and obtain a detailed vehicle history report from computerglobal which can reveal many hidden problems from a vehicle’s past, including flood titles,recalls and more, and also will indicate if a vehicle has been registered in at-risk areas during flood and hurricane seasons.
Consumers could end up saving a great deal of time and money in repairing damages that were unbeknownst to them with they made the purchase.

STOP lying to the gullible. There is NO way that you will get flash flood warning 3 days in advance. That is a complete lie. The best it that the warning will come hours before the flood. Besides DC, you have flooding in Houston on a regular basis for years. If the kind of rain that we have in Lagos should fall in Houston, Atlanta and some other US cities, you will have some form of flooding, road closures, downed tress etc.
The road situation in Nigeria is pathetic but stop lying to these people that everything in America is just dandy.

Glad this made front page.

Those lots that have never been to airport and still blame The administration of His Excellence, President Mohammadi Buhari (GCFR) for flooding will have a reason to keep quite permanently.
