Hope ida is safe

One thing I've noticed in this video is that houses were built on water ways.... It's very obvious.
See that bridge built says a lot already.

Hmm

me self don japa comot for house. I don turn refugee for my own father land. E no go better for this flood

ecolime:


This is really sad.

The structure of those houses would be weak and very compromised now.

Especially storey buildings.... They are standing time bombs

Citizens.... how are you guys coping?

Ohhh!
My heart churns for the victims... unfortunately, many among which will not wager their lives based on those of the future based on what is really achievable.
Why can't our people understand that living is a full time job.
All these mediocre mindsets and lifestyle......
Why can't a million people living in a location understand that they make up a city and it must be run based on best international practice.
The joke's on you.....
Let's keep up our improverished notions and lifestyle.
Maybe there's hope on Mars ...say year 2700

imagine that I.diot, the same thing happened in Florida, if you watch CNN you go see how they are rescue people with helicopter but here in Nigeria the governor can't put some diver and plenty boat there to rescue people.

that's is the duty of governor to take steps and rescue those trap in the house.

human life don't matter in this country, politician don't value life

KingLennon:
That is a massive loss but well the governor is not interested because he stays in a GRA...

GRA?

He lives in ABUJA.

Jeezuzpick:


GRA?

He lives in ABUJA.

Can you imagine? That's disgraceful...

It’s Natural disaster I think not gov.

not natural disaster.

The flood is usually pretold before it happens. I've heard many agencies call for the Dams to be worked on, drainages cleared in that area and all to mitigate the flood..it feels like it's never done.
I can't forget the first time it escalated in 2012.
I was travelling as a corper from Benin to Jigawa.
That road was unplyable. The rivers had over flowed their bank, farms produce unharvestable, houses submerged, communities made homeless. Traffic we met at Lokoja was 2 weeks old. We had to use a crane to cross our bus tru the nearby River. The scariest experience of my life. One crane carried 2 buses loaded with 15 passengers and 1 small car. 15k per vehicle to cross us.
My heart sank over an over in this 10 mins of one of the riskiest moves of my life. Like what if the crane just bends?, We'd just sink.
Kai!.
Years after it's still same.
See the picture below

is there no alternative way to your destination that time even if you guyz need to pay extra cash because me I can't take that risk ooo, it's better I return to where am coming from then go catch flight than risking my life because of stingyness

This is not government fault. From the picture, you can see clearly, people just built their houses on the waterway

CoronaVirusRelo:


That’s a natural disaster!

It can happen anywhere!

Says who?

If there isn't good drainage system, building of houses along water paths, blockage of water channels etc, there'll always be flooding. Many things happened due to man made mistakes. This is a man made error

wiseone28:
Is the governor the one that sent the rain?

so rain no fall for Scotland?

That’s a natural disaster!

NATURAL DISASTER THAT HAPPEN YEARLY ,BUT NO PLANS BY A CONSTESTING STATE GOV TO RESOLVE/MITIGATE IT.

ARE THEY NOT AWARE OF THE DAM ISSUES AND FLOODING IN THAT STATE

But if you check this thing well this people actually build their houses close to the canal abi river which is very bad although Government should have been more proactive to restrict buildings some kilometers away from the river bank.

When it happens everyone starts blaming government meanwhile Government never approved residency around such area.

is heart breaking I pity for the poor ones

Good for them let God keep using natural disasters to wipe out agbado people one by one so that we can have peace

People should stop building on flood plains

This is too much �

We had already reached that point MD it was evening. No way forward or backward. That was like the only way out.

How does be the governor's fault.
If I blame peter obi for IPOB killing and flood , erosion in Anambra now ,
You will be crying like a baby

WithFact:
Yet no CSR from Dangote company. Yahaya Bello is right in his fight. Thumb up

Who told you there was no CSR from Dangote ? So, you believe all these corrupt politicians. Do you know how much Dangote invested to do some concrete roads which are better than normal roads in Lagos and Ogun State ? Fashola successfully negotiated that with Dangote as Minister too. Hold Yaya responsible for his lack of focus. Which rich man will take him responsible the way he has been spending Kogi scarce resource on Presidential ambition? If you are the one, will you ?

twilliamx:
People should stop building on flood plains

Let us be factual here about the popular wet season lingo, 'building on water channels, flood plains, etc'.

What is the definition of a flood plain or a water channel. Is it natural or artificial, an engineering error or the effects on layman's ignorance....

Because every nation or region has high ground like Jos, Abuja, etc and every nation has low lying land like Lagos or Bayelsa.

Can flood plains be artificially created? Yes. I have seen serious engineering works to create and expand rice paddies in Ebonyi that just makes me shudder to think what will happen when rains fall a little longer than anticipated....that is the danger created because of rice.

Can they be engineering errors? Yes, the Abuja - Lokoja road had to be realigned a few years back when it was submerged during a particularly heavy rainy season. The Lokoja - Okene highway on the other hand is always submerged during the rains as we see this year too. Are we saying government too is building roads on flood plains. Government error?

Then we see the obvious, people building by the banks of river Niger at Lokoja, river Benue at Makurdi and we shout, 'they are foolishly building on flood plains'. Yes, correct, but everywhere on the world, from the Nile to river Thames, to the great Mississippi people will always build besides bodies of water for transportation, industrialization, agriculture, etc for thousands of years. Is it bad, wrong?

We are told that by 2100 most tundra ice will have melted into the sea raising sea levels and submerging most coastal cities including Nigeria's. The projections say places like Lekki peninsula, Victoria island, the Thames estuary, parts of Newyork will be gone. But folks there have government approvals to build there. Government error?

So are ordinary folks comitting an environmental crime by all these talks about building on flood plains and so called water channels or are they doing what their natural instincts dictate sometimes with government's approval. Who is at fault here.l?
Discuss.

If you look at the picture, areas of flooding are purely water ways which begged the question; why would people build houses in water ways?

Building houses on the banks of water ways that's on plain ground? Astonishing!

Shey, we are all seeing the consequences.

instead of focusing on building proper drainage system some people were on the internet hauling insults and abuse on their fathers, i hope God give them the fortitude to bear their lost.

With these reports, I feel that a black man is stupid
