Water has submerged most parts of Lokoja... as seen in pictures as at 1st of October 2022

It is well

Their fault to an extent. Many of them bought land and built houses on water channels with chikini money Lokoja is a Confluence, it's expected to bear the most consequence in a year of heavy rainfall like this, dams will be released to the Niger and Benue even Govt haven't done much on this menace.

Chai…



I remember my trip to and fro Jos sometime around 2011 or so. Same thing happened…we had to take a different and much longer route through the bush. Because the road was badly flooded.
It’s a pity nothing has been done about this. Something urgent needs to be done about this.

Yeah.. and it keeps repeating itself over and over again

Lokoja has always been flooded na.

Gradually getting to Aso Rock

Lokoja flood is really bad this year. So many people are homeless.

Waiting yeye below they do there na

At first I thought this was 2nd Niger bridge

This happen every year, why can't they move upwards? Adamant people

This is so bad. At the same time there are people who can’t listen at all. There is always a city plan. But they won’t adhere to it. Instead it is anywhere they see land, they build.

And this water is going down south

It's termed the confluence state for a reason

This is also “end time signs”
Where is Righteousness2

Or it’s only flood in america that’s termed “end time”?

So sad

This is peoples homes and investments oo

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

Nothing new.

Chai, this is terrible

Passed there yesterday

That ibi for his and donga river would have been at dangerous level

Property gone

This is how LP is going to swallow PDP and APC coming 2023 presidential election �.

Watch and see how Tinubu Urchins will blame Peter Obi for this.

The worse State capital in Nigeria

It's a devastating scene here in lokoja, over 1000 House submerged already and the water keeps coming.... People are suffering. The river need to be dregded

Chai, this is terrible. Mehn, look at some of those houses completely submerged in water.

I pray no soul is lost.

Oh, this is why yahaya Bello's wife was distributing "international flying boats for the citizens" (Local wooden canoes)?
