The Lagdo dam in Cameroon has been opened again floods are arriving anytime now to flood prone regions in SS and SE.

No measure has been put in place to by FG or the affected state governments to prevent the flooding so it is down to us who are going to be affected to come up with plans for safeguarding our lives, properties and livelihoods .

From the map below you can see that the Lagdo dam is on the right-hand side of the map a little below the Cameroonian city of Garoua .
Also in the map the yellow areas are the high ground and green areas are the low ground which is along the paths of the major rivers River Benue which carries the water into Nigeria from Cameroon and River Niger which runs down south from Niger state.

My own suggestions for any body in the affected zones is to immediately start moving yourselves and your families to the major bridges along the rivers as a first point of refuge.

Arrange for crops that are ready to be immediately harvested and taken to high ground (bridges ) or storage.

Move the contents and stock of your store and businesses to the high grounds.

From previous flooding we know that all the areas along River Benue which passes through several states are affected but flooding but the worst of the floods seem to occur at Lokoja in Kogi state where the River Benue merges with River Niger and continues to flow down to Anambra and Delta states which is another area where the river Niger overflows and cause major flooding in Onitsha in Anambra state and Asaba in Delta state.
Further trouble areas known are parts of Bayelsa and Edo states.

So all the earlier warnings was ignored until the disaster happened.

Gosh

Have you ever known Nigerian leaders to be proactive? Those fat idiots don't think . It's the poor citizens in that country and those states I pity , they really deserve better

Warning without government assistance is not effective. In this Tinubu economy who is going to pay for transport of families and their properties to higher ground?

Direct your ranting to NEMA

Either way FG has to release funds to NEMA to enable them to swing into action.

Our useless federal lawmakers who are supposed to be advocating for affected communities are busy enjoying their holiday spending N2m gifted to them for holiday enjoyment.

No oo, since you're OK with your gateman work I'm good too.

Consider constructing some rafts from bamboo to use to move people and properties if necessary.

De-silting the river Niger especially in places like Onitsha may help reduce the amount of flood water that overflows from the river.

Lobby the state governor for emergency shelter , cash and food.

Lobby your House of assembly member for assistance and to pressure the state government.

Lobby Local Government chairman for assistance

Lobby the Senate

Lobby house of rep members

Appeal to NEMA for urgent intervention.

Appeal to NDDC for help

Appeal to Ministry of Interior

Ministry of defence should do something.

Ministry of Water Resources should provide assistance.

Ministry of Environment should assist

Ministry of health and social Welfare

Ministry of poverty alleviation

make sand bags and use to block o redirect flow of water

State Emergency Management Agency SEMA

Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment should assist

Relevant NGOs in Nigeria should be swinging into action .

Start digging channels to divert water away from residential areas in the flood prone areas near the the points the rivers over-flow.

Nigerian Diaspora community organisations should be asked to give assistance.
