People should come forward to do something about our problems.

May god help them to get out of these problems

Since the flooding began in early summer, large swathes of farmland have been destroyed.
There are concerns about increased spread of disease, and food and fuel supplies have also been disrupted.

Proper disaster management should be there for helping out the people.

Why America is not sending any help?

Authorities are already providing food and other support to those affected

The disaster has affected 27 of Nigeria's 36 states.
Part of the problem is that people return to their homes on flood plains each year after the water levels subside.
Many do not have the means to relocate.

Why America is not sending any help?

Nigeria's economy has been battered in the past year, with inflation at an all-time high and many communities struggling to cope.

The World Food Programme and the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation said last month that Nigeria was among six countries facing a high risk of catastrophic levels of hunger.

Need proper water management

Yes.

The country is experiencing its worst floods in years, damaging homes, infrastructure and vast sections of farmland.

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.

For sure.

Nigeria’s minister of humanitarian affairs, Sadiya Umar Farouq, blamed the scale of the disaster on the failure by branches of government other than her own to take action. “There was enough warning and information about the 2022 flood, but states, local governments and communities appear not to take heed,” the minister wrote on Twitter.

May APC never befall nigeria again!
Amen!

Earlier this month, Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency warned of catastrophic flooding for states located along the courses of the Niger and Benue rivers, noting that three of Nigeria's overfilled reservoirs were expected to overflow. NEMA said the release of excess water from a dam in neighboring Cameroon had contributed to the flooding.

Nigeria's Minister of Humanitarian Affairs Sadiya Umar Farouq warned Sunday that more flooding was likely and urged regional governments to prepare accordingly.
