Even in Katsina state? This is serious.

They should be grateful for the rain sef.

Such tragedy. Rip to the dead.

Hi

What is the government putting in place to forestall a reoccurence?
To the lives list, may their souls rest in peace.
To those who lost assets, may they be silly compensated.

Opor

Where ever you find your self just thank God! It could be wayyyyyyyyyyyy worst.

Flood in Kogi, Anambra, Nasarawa etc.What is our President saying?

I sympathize with those victims of the flooding hazard. Our government has failed us once again to put measures in place to curb this disaster. This will soon past.

Flooding is a disaster that can be curtailed if the right drainage system is installed.

The local and state government are the ones in charge of this.

But you see Nigerians, they will elect bad people both at the federal and state level and act surprised when things do not work.

Ha. What's happening? Nigeria needs prayers. Many people are dying in this country daily .

which kind life be this self? Poor wretched people dying anyhow anyhow, wetin de happen?

you enter train, bandits kidnap 46 poor people enter bush

you enter boat, e capsize, 76 poor people dead.

you enter moto, dangote crush am, 18 poor people dead

you de inside your house, flood come, 23 poor people dead.

na only airplane way nothing shele, but who go buy air ticket for a miserable poor man?


na only for poor man they create death for?

Omo we sef don get some of the taste of natural disaster the outside dey get nd we wey no dey get prepared for anything before.....

Ha, what is really happening.

The rate at which price of food commodity will be on the rise few months from now will be alarming, and it’s sad people have lost their lives.

May those who voted buhari twice and are still bent on bringing in ancestors in 2023 suffer the most. They will not die, but will live to suffer the consequences of their foolishness.

Ise!

He is not aware, so he is shocked

Wat on earth is happening in this country who we offend like this

That is natural disaster for us. But my curiosity is on how the government officials arrived at the 18 thousand plus figure, knowing fully well that we don't have the data for the populace in this country.
Someone somewhere have seen the avenue to cash out big time.

Don’t those states have governors?

Abi what are the functions of governors if the president must be blamed for everything?

May their souls rest in perfect peace . Amen

And all that water ends up at Lokoja.

You have any suggestions? What is Japanese government doing and most recently, US government?
It is Nature! They just have to empower NEMA and disaster relief agency to be more ready. That’s all. You can’t fight nature.

Why affect Northern Nigeria, when it rains more in Southern Nigeria. Looks like Northern Nigeria has offended someone.
