Where was the town planners when these people were building the houses? who approved those buildings?

Chai! People's investments getting destroyed right in front of their eyes.
God grant them strength to bear these losses.

Someone who is living in this area might be a nairalander laughing when the military kill and destroy properties in the East. Someone living in Owerri might be laughing seeing these people's houses underwater and tomorrow his own house might catch fire.

Nigerians should learn to show empathy when misfortune gets to other people. We're humans first before tribe.
