This menace is spreading rapidly and NEMA is still waiting for NYSC to find kemi's original certificate before declaring national disaster on flood.


May God help the helpless

If Adams Ole hadn't stolen funds meant to prevents all these disaster, this flooding won't have occur.

Nigerian politicians are the original terrorist in this zoo. They always stealing the funds meant for development in communities. They are reprogramming some hungry elements brains into zombies.


No single state in this zoo have road map to channelling water flows in communities. Now political criminal's actions are creating disasters in electorates communities.

What do you expect from Edo state. A state that most the communities don't have good drainage system. When I lived at Okada in Edo state, I hate going out once it is raining.

Debroslink:
The flood is caused by the release of water from major dams in the country. This happens once every 2 or 3 years. Rivers Niger, Benue, Ogun, Kaduna are the major ones, and communities in such areas are worst hit.

The Government should have informed the people about the release of water from such dams instead of blaming the rain.

In Lagos, areas like Magodo, Isheri, Owode, Ajegunle, Alapere, Kara are currently flooded at the moment.

You are right. This is another strategy from government to brainwashing some people who don't know politicians conspiracy against citizens during every general elections seasons. They are about to converting host communities to Internally Displace People (IDPs) to rig elections. By giving orders to opened Dams to sacks host communities to IDPs.

No wonder they can travel out.... They have spoilt there land with un Godly act.... Na them make nonsense pass

otunde527:
Can this be as a result of climate change

Exactly. Climate change is playing its part. That's more reason the heat during this summer is quite high, while flooding in some Asian countries is worse. Nigeria is likely facing same challenge.

Pls Nigerians let's pray well for God mercy.

The truth is Buhari must vacate Aso Rock because the evil that has befall Nigeria since he became president is unimaginable. Enough is enough of bad news everyday.

Pls Buhari leave Nigeria alone this is no more natural disaster this is a curse. Enough is enough Buhari free Nigeria.

BUHARI WAS OUR PRESIDENT IN 2012?

Shitthole country....

I knew a comment like this must surely surface from an I.diot. As developed as they Carolinas is in the US, they are presently faced with a similar disaster. Lots of houses has been affected and 6 lives has been taken as a result of the disaster.

Natural disaster happens everywhere, the world over. Next now, you will say Buhari caused it. Tell me, is Buhari the reason for your failure in life?

So when flooding caused destruction in almost all the southern states during the regime of Goodluck Jonathan in 2012, it was because Jonathan was cursed, right?

Even if you are an I.diot, must you let the whole world know about it?

Poor journalism. No photo evidence.

No fewer than 35 communities in Etsako East and Etsako Central Local Government Areas of Edo have been sacked by flood, occasioned by unending rains and overflow of the River Niger.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) report that the flood which displaced over 30,000 people, also damaged hundreds of hectares of farmland across the two council areas.

NAN reports that mostly affected by the flood are communities such as Udaba, Anegbette, Usomegbe, Uduchiz among others, all in Etsako Central Local Government.

Similarly, the flood also sacked the entire six Uneme clans in South East Uneme, Okpekpe, among others, in Etsako East Council area.

The Etsako East council boss, Mr Aremiyau Momoh and his counterpart in Etsako Central, Mr John Akhigbe, said the disaster had gone beyond the purview of the council areas.

They called for urgent intervention from both the State and the Federal Governments.

The duo said camps for the Internally Displaced Persons had been placed in strategic locations across the council areas.

Akhigbe said aside the Resettlement Camp built aftermath of a similar disaster in 2012; about five other camps are being prepared for the victims.

Similarly, Momoh said six camps had been opened in Etsako East for the same purpose.

“We have tried our best as far as the councils are concerned, we are hoping and appealing to the Federal Government to urgently intervene on this matter,” he said.

In his remarks, the clan Head of Uzanu, South East Uneme in Estako East local government, Benjamin Ikani, also cried out over the sacking of six communities in his domain by flood.

The Monarch said more than 1,700 persons from the six communities are now displaced looking for where to stay.

Ikani listed communities affected by the flood to include Uneme-Ekwuekpele, Uneme-Ogwoyo, Uneme-Ukpeku, Uneme-Ogbethaya, Uneme-Yeluwa and Uneme-Unubu.

He said he relocated some widows, old women and children to Uzanu community to enable the children go to school.

He said the displaced persons had been moved to higher ground at Uneme-Yeluwa waiting for interventions from the state.

Ikani said he has reported the matter to the relevant authorities but was yet to get any help.

He expressed worry over stranded pregnant women that could no longer get access to ante-natal care.

“The flood started last week. You can see the women and children in my palace. Nobody died in the flood but my people need help.

“The most pathetic situation is the pregnant women because of lack of health care, food stuff, medicine. The people can no longer harvest their crops.

“I brought 18 persons because all of them have left their villages to stay at Uneme-Yeluwa.”

there are so many communities that are also affected but not captured here, eg Illushi, Ifeku, Odogumeh, Ega(agric) etc. please federal government should as a matter of urgency intervene.

THIS YEAR'S FLOOD SEASON PROVES BEYOND ALL DOUBT THAT NOTHING FAILS LIKE PRAYERS.

THAT IT DIDN'T AFFECT YOUR ESAN TODAY DOESN'T MEAN IT CANNOT AFFECT ESAN TOMORROW. PRAYERS AND THANKS CANNOT PREVENT THAT.

It won't affect Esanland, check any geography book and thank me later.
