Which school did you even attend? Or you are just and ignoramus. You must be daft if you don't know what a Natural disaster is.

Flood happens in the most advance countries and ANAM here shouldn't be an exception being that it's a riverine area.

A place where houses are mostly built on water with few existence of land.

BleedTears:


You're really a fool if you don't know what a natural disasters is.

You need to go study.

If you're in country that experience earthquakes and tsunami, you go still say you thought you transformed entire world.

These guys from the south west, the brand of hate they have for people of the south east is unimaginable, all because of politics. My only joy is that when the country sinks because of bad political choices, induced by tribal hate, no zone will be immune from the pains.

Tinubu built Lagos and forgot to build hospital..

Mad man

Try and get sense. Natural disasters is beyond politics

you sound really daft with this statement. This flooding happened in different states.some folks even lost their lives. But you had to use it to score cheap political points. Very pathetic of you. Nobody wishes for the pains those people are passing through now.

Echoban:


But Lagos own isn't natural disasters . Hence a need to politise saying "but Tinubu built Lagos" own . Una no well

It is not natural diaster? so people fetch water and pure it on the road

Simple understanding you don't have.

So if anything happens in the state, you point it to Peter Obi, having left office over 10yrs ago.

Besides this is a natural disasters and nothing could be done to wage it, it also happens in America.

Receive sense in the name of Jesus.....

What will it take this government to build a dam? Just look at the destruction

we don't have flood over here in akwa ibom, because akpabio built a pipe jacking drainage system, perhaps if obi had brain to develop Anambra to that point all these would have been averted, Obidient.

THE REAL CAUSE OF THE FLOODS

By: David Hundeyin

In 1977, the Cameroonian government made a rational decision. Observing the absence of adequate water resources to support growing agricultural pressure in northern Cameroon, the government of Ahmadou Ahidjo decided to build a dam on the Benue River which would supply hydropower to the region and allow for the irrigation of 15,000 hectares of farmland.

The dam was completed in 1982, which was the same year that a certain Paul Biya succeeded Ahidjo as Cameroon’s head of state. It was projected that the dam would have a downstream effect on Nigeria, so both countries reached an agreement after discussions.
According to the agreement signed in 1977, a shock absorber dam called the Dasin Hausa Dam would be constructed in modern-day Adamawa State.

In addition to preventing flooding, this massive dam was also meant to add 300 MW of hydropower to the national grid and irrigate roughly 150,000 hectares of farmland in Adamawa, Benue and Taraba.

Depending on who is telling the story, this project either never made it off the drawing board or achieved up to 90 percent completion. What all versions of the story have in common however, is that once a certain Muhammadu Buhari overthrew the democratically elected Shehu Shagari in a military coup, this project became one of several important development projects that were halted.

It’s Never Nigeria’s Fault…40 years after the failure of the Nigerian government to put the Dasin Hausa dam up, flooding of the Benue estuary and the Lokoja confluence area has become an annual event.

Instead of taking the rational and obvious step of completing the Dasin Hausa dam so as to stop the annual destruction of lives and property – and even get some much-needed electricity and assisted irrigation into the bargain – successive Nigerian governments have chosen to play the ostrich instead.

The only reason this article exists in fact, is because this year’s floods are the worst in exactly a decade, and hence have made it into the news cycle. The government’s response has been the most predictably Nigerian government response ever – to blame Cameroon.

Using official and unofficial channels, the Nigerian government has variously blamed Cameroon for “opening the dam” and for doing so allegedly “without informing Nigerian authorities.”

Putting aside the absurdity of expecting another country to assume responsibility for Nigeria’s own internal failures such as the failure to honour its own side of an agreement made 45 years ago, it must be pointed out that both of these claims are categorically false.

First of all, Cameroon’s decision to “open the dam” was not a voluntary one made as part of some kind of malevolent scheme to drown a heavily populated and economically crucial part of its largest neighbour and biggest single trading partner.

That claim, which has been recycled annually for decades, is Nigerian government propaganda at its most pernicious and least creative.

In fact, Cameroon’s annual opening of the Lagdo dam is something entirely born out of necessity. If the dam is not opened when water levels rise beyond its design limits, it will burst – and the results will be more catastrophic to Nigeria than to Cameroon.

Dear Abuja – Please Stop Lying. If the Cameroonian government were to do what the Nigerian government seems to be implying it should do – keep the dam locked indefinitely – the water would simply burst the dam and become a deadly tidal wave that would wipe out everything in its path, which means anything from 100,000 to 600,000 people according to figures from NEMA.

The Cameroonians actually do Nigeria a huge favour every year by opening the dam and controlling the flow of floodwater through it. If Abuja refuses to construct the Dasin Hausa dam and it does not like the annual floods that result from this refusal, the only other alternative is a burst Lagdo dam, leading to a catastrophe that would potentially delete about 0.25 percent of Nigeria’s population in a few hours.

The second point – that the Cameroonians opened the dam without providing prior notice – is categorically false. It is not true. The government itself has since acknowledged that it received roughly one month’s prior notice from Cameroonian authorities about the impending need to open the dam.

Clearly, this warning was not important enough, seeing as it came in the middle of election campaign season, which we all know is more important than Nigerian human lives. Too bad for the dead and displaced, I guess – but you can be sure that even if they remain totally submerged by then, INEC will find a way to get ballot boxes and sophisticated BVAS machines to them in 4 months time.

Voting uber alles. What has happened yet again, is the age-old story of the Nigerian government shirking its legitimate responsibility and expecting everyone else – the citizens, the international community, multilateral donors, lenders, neighbours, global institutions – to pick up the tab on its behalf.

As it was in 1982, so it remains today – and so it will remain for at least another 4 years, unless the Nigerian people decide to swim through the literal and metaphorical floodwaters next year to the INEC polling centres, and make choices that will improve their lives. Like that’s ever going to happen.

If only you were intelligent enough to understand what the word natural disaster means.

saintkeppy:
.

This is a natural disaster beyond constructed drainage system, it happened in Lekki, Lagos, Germany, USA even in the UK, &some developed countries across the world, look for another propaganda against Mr. Peter Obi

Just to avoid misinformation,this is not a natural disaster but as a result of a dam that was constructed upstream with no environmental impact assessment. Also Nigeria failed to honor an agreement to build a counter dam that will control this flooding when the lagdo dam, in Cameroon is opened to release pressure.

.

I'm aware of the Lagdo Dam in Northern Cameroon, is Mr. Peter Obi supposed to construct the counter dam in Nigeria to check flooding?? The Young man I quoted was saying Mr. Peter Obi did not develop Anambra State reasons for the flood outta ignorance, whether it's a natural disaster or man-made the flooding is beyond the existing drainage systems in those affected States. It's quite sad.

My friend this is beyond pipe jacking Drainage system, it's uncontrollable, are you aware Kogi, Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers etc are affected?

Even the pipe jacking Drainage system done by Senator Akpabio &the IBB Avenue Underground drainage system done by Giv. Udom has not completely solve flooding during a heavy down pour in Uyo the AKS Capital, even those living along Atiku Abubakar Avenue in Uyo can testify to this.

[quote author=Stenewiser post=117635280]I thought Obituary transformed the entire Anambra. All obidient are lost minds[/quot

So peter Obi is also the governor of Imo, Kogi and Bayelsa states that also encountered the same problems? You people should reason well with your brains. It's there for a reason. Blame the federal government that has refused to damn the river. This thing is like a yearly occurrence and there is nothing any state governor can do about it.

Michelle70:
what do u expect govt to do when we build houses to block waterways and dump dirts in gutter

What provisions did the government have in place for people to dispose of their trash and dustbins??

NobleSeed:
so you are trying to say the people that are affected build House to block the waterways?

Yes.

people build houses haphazardly in Nigeria.
