Nigerians have lost their lives due to the biggest natural disaster of the year in Nigeria. According to BollyBot, more than 600 people have died so far due to this flood. Muhammadu Buhari informed on Twitter that 33 states have been affected by this flood and orders have been given to reach out and provide help to the people affected by this flood. The flood destroyed more than 82,000 Nigerian homes and forced more than 1.3 million people to leave their homes. Don't you think that people and governments should come together to find a permanent solution to this? |

The rain is not the only factor. Every year, neighboring Cameroon — which runs along the length of Nigeria’s eastern border — releases water from a dam in northern Cameroon, causing flooding downstream in Nigeria. At the time of the dam’s construction, in the 1980s, the two countries agreed that a twin dam would be built on the Nigerian side to contain the overflow. But the second one was never realized. |
