Or you just an idiot or your brain isn't working well this morning?

MAKURDI in BENUE state (as stated by the OP) ... ignoramus.

cmon stop acting like a savage

sunnyshayne:
I repeat that the post is pure falsehood, if one or two houses are flooded that does not mean 2000 houses were submerged.

2000 houses? I`m not sure. Hundreds of houses flooded and water levels rising fast towards full submersion as at yesterday evening? Definitely yes. Except the displaced persons we accommodated 2 nights back were ALL lying and you didn't watch the 7 PM news last night.

Anthrophile:
It was aired yesterday on the NTA network news.

d river have started to over flow its banks but it did not submerg over 2000 houses as d Op put it.

Are you kidding me? you pour dirts in gutters thereby blocking the water ways, you dont clear the grass around your neighbourhood and you expect smooth flow of water? Its not rocket science bro/sis, these things are linked with sanitation.

AFTER THEODORE ORJI GABRIEL SUSAN\SUSWAM(which ever one it is) SHOULD BE THE WORST GOV IN NIGERIATHEY HAVE BOTH SUCCEDED IN CRIPPLING THEIR STATES

No one is more deserving of that award than our Captain go slow,the Governor of Kogi State:Captain Idris Ichalla Wada.

I pray the waters dont come to Kogi again if not,the word pathethic would be too nice to describe the fortunes of the state.

Are there up to 2000 houses in mak town? haba op!!! Why not say makurdi as a whole is submerged?

My issue really is that the number is over exaggerated. Yes houses are flooded but the number cannot be upto 100 with what I just saw this afternoon.

bro, ever lived in a town with a large river?

This time of year, when it rains almost daily, d river gets filled up, d soil gets saturated with water. Water must find its level.

While I don't agree with u that poor sanitation is responsible for d flooding, I will still still blame d people who go ahead to build by rivers n streams.Govt needs to get serious n demolish all those living in designated flood prone areas beside waterways.

well, i've unfollowed this topic and wasn't going to dignify anybody with a reply but you sounded responsible and your post was without insults so i'll make an exception.

Primarilly what causes flood is the saturation of soil with water so much so that this water covers heights above the ground.

normally, surface water flows into nearby drainage systems but when this drainage systems get filled with dirt, the water becomes stagnant in the soil in a situation we now call flooding. Thank you!

sorry about that, just saying it as it is.

This is a natural phenomenon that happens everywhere
It happens in Mozambique, USA, Australia and elsewhere
The state governments are not to blame
We should not lay the blame at their doorstep but encourage them to find a solution

Or even Wadata area. Infact, any area bordering the river bank.

For those of you doubting, see more ugly photos of the flood...
