Esther Okonkwo :
Abeg which part of the state did this happen?

^ Thanks.
So it is mainly near onitsha and River Niger?

Evil is begetting evil, we are really breathing fresh air in Nigeria.

So much hate! Please stop the hatred....

gzib: please let God stop this devilish flooding spreading over the country.
Anambra now after Kogi, benue, edo, kwara etc.
abeg no reach port harcourt o else i will provoke in the spirit.

Don't be foolish, there's every tendency that the flood will get the Port Harcourt before finding it's course in the atlantic ocean, if you live in Ndoni, Omoku, Andoni, Bonny is for sure, just pray to your God that this flood goes through the Bayelsa way but even at that communities in Rivers state will be affected. I live in Igwuruta and i'm crossing my hands to know the fate of this situation when the flood draws nigh.

Afolabs101: AND OUR GOVERNMENT ALLOWS THIS TO HAPPEN!!!

In Abuja they'll all be clinking their glasses after spending billions on anniversary celebrations, while families all over the country are left only with what NEMA has to offer.

Any geologists or meteorologists or whatever out there, are there ways to predict or prevent these floods?

Dredge the waterways

And some ppl were laffing at Lagos floods

saleeh: ALLAH is angry...repent from your sins and turn to him alone in His lordship, worship and in His names and attributes, that is, take Him as one in His worship, lordship and in His names and attributes. TAWHEED

Thats the reason Nairaland topics dosn't reach up to 5 padges these dayz.

I suggest Anambra govt take a cue from Edo state and make a storm drain project to prevent this disaster in the future from hitting the big cities.

Nigeria @52 indeed is this what 9ja dey celebrate in fact this govt is mad

190: Are these floods from rivers or everyday ra.in fall

Its obviously from rainfall.

ignis: Its obviously from rainfall.

No, it's flood from the combination of River Niger and Anambra River.

Can anyone in Anambra/Onitsha go down to the bridgehead area (if you've got the time of course) and take a pic of the port at the same spot as in the pic provided.....this should give us an idea of how much the river has risen since the attached pic was taken.

the flood is increasing day by day by day, this is another pix of swallowed houses at ayamelum. God save us form cameroon madness!

Bro, I read somewhere this morning that the Asaba end of the Niger bridge is under threat by the flooding condition...I hope this isn't true?

Military, others evacuate 76,000 Anambra flood victims

More than 76,000 victims of the devastating floods that hit about 200 communities in five local government areas of Anambra State are being evacuated from their homes to relief camps in Onitsha and Nteje.

The evacuation came as reports said two persons, a woman and a boy, died at Ogbaru following the flooding that submerged their homes on Sunday night.

Governor Peter Obi led the evacuation exercise on Monday as he abandoned the Independence anniversary parade review in Awka and headed for Ogbaru Local Government Area whose communities are the hardest hit in the flooding.

Personnel of the Navy, Army, Security and Civil Defence Corps, Federal Road Safety Corps, the Red Cross Society of Nigeria, the Peace Corps and other voluntary agencies were involved in the exercise.

According to a worker of the state Emergency Management Agency, no community in Ogbaru local government, which lies along the River Niger, is spared in the disaster.

He said the flooding paralysed communication and economic activities in the communities.

Meanwhile, many of the victims are being evacuated to the 302 Artillery Regimernt, Onitsha, where the army and other emergency agencies are on hand to resettle them.

Other victims particularly from Ayamelum, Anambra East and Anambra West local government areas are being moved to Nteje, headquarters of Oyi Local Government Area.

But according to the Executive Director of SEMA, Dr. Austin Ijezie, more camps were being opened at the Onitsha South Stadium and other areas to accommodate more victims.

He said, “Twelve buses and trucks have just brought in people to Onitsha and many more loads of them are coming. The situation is getting beyond what the state government alone and SEMA can handle. It is an evolving catastrophe.”

Ijezie, however, said many of the victims were reluctant to move from their ancestral homes.

He said, “Such people are so attached to their homes that they do not want to move.”

Senator Andy Uba, representing Anambra South in the National Assembly, visited the victims at their Onitsha and Ogbaru camps. punch

this time sahara reporters are not lying right?

What a world!
