Everything worse

Buhari with his factory fitted bad luck

There was flood in 2012

I guess PDP which had one Peter Obi in its ranks then was bringing bad luck eh?

Kasssandra:


True, but the rain this year is something else.

Honestly. September and it's still cloudy like hell.

Shetemi12:
God provide relief for the ones affected by flooding and give everyone of us peace!

N.B DO NOT VOTE FOR A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE with GCE!

That means we should not vote for any candidate since all of them have their GCEs.

Except someone like Oshiomole who has grade 2 certificate. Or a primary 5 student since they don't have a GCE then.

Better stop this dry joke, it is not working.

SKYHIGHfx:
Na we be the cause, the rate how we dispose wastes in gutters is appalling

Very true, but the way the rain is pouring, something tells me that if we cleared all the gutters flood will happen

Also, some of the flooded areas are due to rivers overflowing their banks in part because dam reservoirs are filling up beyond capacity

Maybe Buhari caused this one too

Tinubu was able to solve the problem of flooding occasioned by the Atlantic over running the shoreline in Victoria Island.

The rains this year no be here.

What are the doing with our ecological funds....chai, I weep for Nigeria, RIP to dead

These are short to medium effects of climate change something no one in leadership has thought to address. Being a country on the equator, we will continue to see these effects in the form of extreme heat, increased rainfall, and rising sea levels contributing to flooding

Well, most of the time,. ecological funds are spent on erosion control, I guess

VeryWickedMan:
Flood is good for the North

You are indeed a very wicked man

Why would the government be allowing their neighbouring countries like Cameroon to empty their dams which causes havoc in our country..... Can't they find solution to this?
Their country should be safe while hundreds of lives and properties are destroyed here.

EKONGKING:
Nigerians really don't know what is happening in the country, it has to take a German news service to point out flooding and scale of it , while politicians , news media look the other way .

That was my first thought. Why are we having to rely on a German news agency to tell us about our own country?

Flood cum join dis1 wen person dey so...omoh na dye ooh

cardoctor:
The rains this year no be here.

omoh the one wen fall yesterday for bayelsa,nah mrn till 9th ooh...

Funny how news outlet in Nigeria hasn’t reported this lmao

There is no solution per se.

The reservoirs behind dams should be a 'solution' , but once they are full, nothing can be done, except to open the dam and let the water flow...to relieve pressure.

Cameroon did contact us beforehand though.

Also, Kainji and Jebba dams too are having the same problem...full reservoirs, and high pressure....so gates have to be opened. Areas downstream from the dams have been told to expect flodding.

So is this how we would be loosing lives and properties as a result of this?


Something has to be done to save lives

One of the cruel tradeoff of dam construction. The water has to go somewhere.

How to mitigate flooding from dams...is the subject of ongoing research...

The fact that there even is a dam self may even be preventing worse flodding...

xpressionx:
The kind of rain falling these days ehn.
September and the rain is still firing on all cylinders.

Actually September is one of the months it rains the most in Nigeria, especially after exiting the August break.

This keeps happening every year so nigeria can't stop Cameroon from releasing water in their dams?

@Righteousness89

This end time event is close to home, where is the warning of the second cumming?

Ibkhaleel:
You are really a slowpoke...what is the rship be natural disasters and APC? You guys are very very shameless

This is the reason why you guys wil never be relevant in Nigerias politics. .


You have nothing to show but hatred and bitterness...empty rants

You need admission in a psychiatric hospital.

Politics is a game of numbers. If you want the numbers and want to win build bridges instead of walls. Convince people instead of calling them cows and bigots.

Extend a hand of friendship instead of spreading bitterness.
Focus on making inroads into states with the most numbers!

Hatred and lies won't get you the numbers needed to win. Collaboration might.
Vileness won't win your candidate an
election. Highlighting their competence
might.

Bitterness won't win you votes. Persuasion might.
Persuade. Collaborate. Promote. Don't be bitter, vile and sad.

I must give it to you boy. You are a master at cutting and pasting other people's comments

Sad�

Really

What we have are paper engineers. All we have to do is to divert water at Dasin through a series of locks, channels canals all the way empty into Lake Chad and kill two birds with one stone..We can connect Benue to Katsina Ala and all the way down Calabar River into the Atlantic. We should stop begging the West to do these things for us always.

Harvest the water by creating reservoir as appropriate and use the catchment for various purposes like fish farming and mini hydro power systems.
