if they didn't open the dam and it fails then millions will die,lokoja,onitsha,asaba,all towns along the banks of the benue and niger rivers will be swept into the Atlantic ocean

The more reason fg should have built the dam be ause what if that dam fails?

Hmmmm

Gentino:
Nigeria in collaboration with AU and UN should seriously sanction cameroun for opening their dams without prior notice to Nigeria. This flooding that Nigeria has been subjected to has caused untold hardship, destruction, displacement and loss of livelihood to many Nigerians.

Notice was given to the Nigerian govt and yet they did what they know best. Even before construction of their dam, it was planned together in partnership with Nigeria to forestall this type of event

DaniDani:
I spoke with my friend today who lives in Yenagoa. I was dumbfounded when he told me about the flood ravaging Bayelsa. I informed him that the rest of Nigeria seems unaware about what is happening in Bayelsa, unlike Anambra and kogi that's in the spotlight. Thank you mosdii for bringing this here to create awareness.

Since Nigerian girls have stopped being useless in your mindset, you have been posting meaningful topics.

And who is in the best position to bring their plight to the rest of Nigerians and the world than their leaders....

Jonathan just dey wear black hat dey waka upandan for Abuja...

baralatie:

They did

It is not a child's play. There is hunger in the land as prices of food and fuel has increased.
Most fuel stations are closed and the ones opened sell a litre of fuel for ₦650.
A basin of garri is sold at ₦7500.
The big Eva bottle of palm oil is sold at 2400.
I mean before now cost of living was on a high side. Right now cost of living is ... I don't know what to say.
A lot of people are living on the road side with no means of livelihood because they house and place of work has been submerged with the flood.

As at yesterday 1cup rice, 1 cup of beans 2cups of garri, some Maggi, the small tin tomato cup of groundnutt oil and palm oil and medium side tin tomato was shared in the community I live in.

ASUU has finally called off their strike but some student can't return back because either the road to their schools has been cut into two or the school is submerged in water.

sammirano:


Oponu, do geography na lie, na gala you like to sell. See the result

When you no go school... Ode

GeneralPula:

And what would you benefit from this your wish?

It's not a wish... Na common sense... Those states I listed will be flooded.From Kogi, it will get to Anambra, Bayelta, Delta, Edo, Ondo, Ogun & Lagos. Good news, it's all gonna be over this month.


It's not really about land boundaries... It's the river ways/path.

The FG needs up their game on this.

Quick facts about Cameroon's Lagdo Dam causing floods in Nigeria
By Alao Abiodun
In the past week, the rampant flood situation across the country has ravaged many communities, washed away farms and destroyed people’s properties.
Sadly, motorists passing through communities have had to make a detour passing through longer routes to get to their destinations.
Many roads have been washed away, many farmlands, houses, vehicles and other properties have succumbed to the overpowering effect of flooding.
Findings show the country is facing its worst flooding in a decade with the National Emergency authorities describing the situation as “beyond control”.
While the devastating flood situation has become a recurring decimal, different narratives have been put forward as the cause.
The flooding has been linked to heavy rainfalls, overflow of local rivers, and the devastating impacts of climate change but most consequentially to the release of excess water from the Lagdo Dam in Northern Cameroon.
NEMA in a terse press statement on September 19 said: “The Lagdo dam operators in the Republic of Cameroon have commenced the release of excess water from the reservoir by September 13, 2022.
“We are aware that the released water cascades down to Nigeria through River Benue and its tributaries thereby inundating communities that have already been impacted by heavy precipitation”
According to findings by our correspondent, the construction of the Lagdo Dam started in 1977 and was completed in 1982.
Records indicate that Cameroon and Nigeria were supposed to build two dams at inception, such that the Nigerian dam, known as Dasin Hausa dam which was to be in Adamawa State, would contain water released from the Lagdo Dam at any point in time.
The Dasin Hausa dam was supposed to be two and a half the size of the Lagdo dam, meant to supply electricity to the northern part of Cameroon and also aid irrigation.
But sadly, have the absence of dams to control the excesses from Cameroon's dam have continued to cause serious consequences on frontline states and communities along the courses of rivers Niger and Benue.
The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Hajia Sadiya Farouq said Nigeria will “initiate a bilateral discussion with authorities in Cameroon next month (November 2022) on the periodic opening of the Lagdo Dam”.
Meanwhile, various spirited efforts are being made and put in place to provide succour to the victims of this devastating floods.

Well said. Nigeria had an agreement with Cameroun since 1972. Nigeria was meant to build a dam in Adamawa state that would contain the water released by the dam in Cameroun, sadly Nigeria never built the the dam. You can read about it below.
