When the government are not even prepared for disaster management.
Dam collapse would have seen long ago.
But misplaced priorities of our leaders led to this.

Wickedfact:
They said the dam collapsed, this one is typing nonsense.

Can someone translate the post into Igbo so this blockhead can understand.
The Dam is intact. It did not collapse.
Water volume was such that it flowed over the Dam despite water coming from its tunnels.

The source of the flooding is confusing... Did the dam collapse or water was released from it? Or was water released from it, then it collapsed?

Both reasons were actually given in the article as the source of the flooding... Are we to pick anyone that suits us?

Negligence is a culture in Nigeria. Did the dam not show signs of vulnerability all this while? Ha! Just look at the suffering many people have to endure because some persons failed to do their job well.

The dam must have been giving some imminent signs of possible collapse but the people in charge prefer reactive measure than proactive measures.
Exactly.., people wait for last minute.. before bein proactive... The weather ecologist in our midst are just enjoying cool Tax money and foreign funds ... Without impact in Nigeria..

This one is not even a natural disasters, it's man-made and incompetence. And no one will be held responsible, that's Nigeria for you.

Dam collapse story as if we've audited Niger's angle and it's contribution to the collapse.

This is another fallout of the hasty decisions after Niger coup.

But it shall be well.
My heart is with good Borno people.
Nature will see them through.

I hope the whole of Sambisa was submerged in water as part of the 70%!

That is the good news I want! More flood to Boko Haram hideouts.

And all funds set aside for the IDPš would be embezzled by the people placed in charge. Nigerians are very wicked.

This has been a waring since 2015 by it's indigenes , pointing out boko haram as a threat issued to blast that dam and yet tinubus government failed to adhere to that security information
Re: Borno Dam Collapse: FG Opens IDP Camps As Flood Submerges 70% Of Maiduguri by nesphil(m): 10:06pm On Sep 11, 2024
No be only 70% of the State but 100%.
Una go dey exaggerate everything happening up North.

I think the only 30% that remains is the area controlled by the useless wild animals Boko Haram.

Dams don't collapse suddenly. They give signs to an imminent collapse. Someone ignored those signs and today people are paying the price
That's if they knew the signs of an imminent collapse undecided

Opening IDP camps and at same time letting terrorists escape so they can come back and attack IDP camps. Who is fooling who here?

The Nigerian military should use this opportunity to flush out the insurgents.
If they really want to fight insecurity.
