At least 151 people have died and over 3,000 displaced after heavy rains caused severe flooding in Mokwa, Niger State, Nigeria.

The floods have affected 500 households across three communities, leaving residents waist-deep in water and destroying homes. Northern Nigeria faces worsening climate impacts, with dry spells followed by intense rains.

President Bola Tinubu has activated the national emergency response to assist. Residents mourn the dead and await news of missing loved ones, while the local market—key for regional food trade—suffers major damage.

This is very sad

the news is not even trending in Nigeria, foreign media outlets are the ones reporting this disaster most

Nazgul:
You're right. I saw it in CNN this morning and I was like Wao, no media outlet here in Nigeria is even talking about it.
