This is not photoshop na. You people don't read newspapers or listen to news? Don't you have internet to see lot of pictures every where? The situations are worse than this. Benue is the most hit. River Niger and Benue have caused serious havoc in Benue, Kogi and Edo. Over two million people displaced in these three states alone and farm land washed away. Also, Jigawa and parts of Kwara. Also a certain Dam burst in Cameroun and caused havoc there and it affected parts of cross rivers.

People should read and follow current affairs. Everything now is termed photoshop. See a link for an example of things happening.

If I have time I will post more link.

Now I managed to get more links of flooding in different places in the last few days. Kogi has been affected twice with severe flooding.

YOU JUST OPENED MY EYES GBAM......

Are you both this shamelessly illiterate and unexposed that you cannot differentiate a genuine picture from a photoshopped picture? Why are some of you so quick to shout 'photoshop' if when the picture is clearly not photoshopped? I am going to post some more pictures of the flooded areas because maybe that picture the OP posted is too small for you to see the extent of the damage.

Whch kind flood b dis

this is terrifying. imagine lagos like this....abeg stop that imagination!

Nasri100: That should be the Old bridge,Yes it is benue state.

That indeed is Makurdi! I pray that God shd give succour to all d dsiplaced persons there and elsewhere affected by d floods.

It isn't Makurdi.The original picture, that is.
Makurdi has TWO bridges in close proximity with each other, and River Benue is wider than that.It may be Yola, cause I haven't been there, but definitely not Makurdi.
I know because I schooled there for 3 years.
No isn't discountenancing the fact that Makurdi has been flooded.
But the above picture isn't Makurdi.

ORAFA: Linda Ikeji Blog sent me dis pix as an ariel view of Lokoja.

thanks a million, I have said this before. This isn't Benue it's Lokoja. Even the other pix uploaded are those of Lokoja also.

Opoki: It makes me remember just but one thing "Hurricane Katrina, though this can in no way be compared with it cos while dt of Orlean was caused by nature, this if well investigated would have traces of nonchalant workers.

OPOKI from the name I knw ur family IQ.....I piri U

Ramcie: thanks a million, I have said this before. This isn't Benue it's Lokoja. Even the other pix uploaded are those of Lokoja also.

The pic by the op is not lokoja. Lokoja has no such bridge. The murtala bridge is almost 100km away from lokoja. Some of the pics by dasparrow looks more or less like the ganaja area view equally submerged.

scopusng: Blame GEJ

^^^^ Why? Because it was him that brought the water or ran the state affairs over time. Abi na him dey chop the allocation to the state for environmental protection.

The satelite picture courtesy of google map shows clearly the two bridges across the river benue in Makurdi.
The one on the left is the old rail/road bridge. The other one on the right is the newer bridge that houses the lafia road.
Furthermore, the width of the river and the generalshape of the river benue prove that the picture in the original post clearly isn't Makurdi.
The original post has no sign of a second bridge,neither does the bridge show any resemblance to any of the bridges across the River at the said location.

Here as some pix i got at close up in Benue state capital
