We are so blessed here in Nigeria. No Hurricane but Floods cool



Those vehicles moving on the other lane where are they going to
Even the floods are caused by unplanned drainage, not a natural disaster.
Nigeria is indeed blessed

'This is a storm that will kill you if you don't get of the way'


'We can rebuild your homes, but we can't rebuild your lives' Governor of Florida




The largest evacuation in US history is underway as more than 5.6million people have been ordered to leave Florida before Category 5 Hurricane Irma strikes the Sunshine State.


The state's Gov. Rick Scott urged people who hadnot left yet to leave as soon as possible on Friday.

He warned those who plan to stay, that they may have to ride out the dangerous storm at their own risk.

He explained that the biggest concern with the powerful hurricane is the predicted storm surge that will come along with the lashing winds and heavy rains.



The storm has the potential to do $125billion worth of damage when it strikes Miami and possibly much more.


Irma has caused devastation in the Caribbean, killing at least 24 and leveling entire islands.

Extensive damage has been reported on Barbuda and St Martin, with over 90 per cent of buildings wrecked.

The storm is currently battering the northern coast of Cuba.

Am I not better off in my country, Nigeria even with all the poor leadership and insecurity that exists here. One of the worst issues humans can face is climatic problems that are disastrous. All of them in that location would end up forfeiting all they have laboured for including mortgaged homes and others valuables. how many of them can get back everything back from their so called caring govt. And these are countries Nigerians are dying to migrate to.

It's taking them over 250years to get here and seriously struggling

I believed you live in this world, similar incidents have killed over 50,000 USA citizens in the last 10years.

USA and U.K are good at downplaying their situation while Africans destroyed their tourism industry by badmouthing themselves

This year alone, in Glenfell Building UK, over 500 people born to death including children in broad daylight, over 500 at a go, but guess what, the news only lasted for 2days.

I can't imagine 500 people being born in Nigeria and the news ll be done with in 2days

When we bring how old these countries are into d fore everytym we jus kip showing how we still reason.. Is it becos dey are over 250yrs old dat dey have a working system? There is still corruption in their system but we don't hear dem yammering about it all day.. How old is South Africa? How old are some of dis Asian countries?? Nobody is talking about how many ppl natural disasters killed but their preparedness towards it.. New Orleans is still very fresh in people's memory..
Ur mention of d Greenfell Tower fire is laughable.. D fact dat u don't hear anything in dis part about it doesn't mean d case is dead. D Greenfell tower incidence is not a natural disaster and aside dat I don't know if u've actually followed up on it since after den. Hope u do realize d owners are now facing cases in d courts? Hope u do realize so many other buildings have been sealed off in d aftermath of d fire. What has bad mouthing got to do with our leadership failures in dis parts ?

Dis is where things work jus how dey shld.. They already have a timeline on when its hitting dem, have evacuated and even making plans to protect infrastructures when d storm eventually hits. Even wen it eventually hits eveeything is already in place to get life back to normal. Nigeria is cursed becos d human disasters we suffer from is worse than d natural disasters d west suffers.

No good news from all angle. If it's not disaster somewhere, it's something else from another angle.


It is now time to turn to God fully. The calamities will not abate even as the world makes a descent into its destruction.

Certain things touch me in this pictures.
1. Despite the emergency, cars on a decent single file, nobody is rushing for one way
2. Even homeless people are being "forced" to be alive. Cuffed or convinced to enter shelter. Talk of the government being concerned for ALL citizens.
3. The enthusiasm displayed by emergency workers and even citizen volunteers.

Africa which way!

Some of u like to one way or d other bring in tribal bigotry into everything. Everything isn't always about Nigeria.

I remember before the Lekki Floods the Lagos State government warned residents about it but did they listen?. We are always quick to castigate the government forgetting naturally we Nigerians are very stubborn and would rather say "God forbid" , "It's not my portion" or go to one Church and sit-down than be proactive. Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.

The queue at the gas station caught my attention most. Well spaced.

Lol some people has to grow up I can see some people commenting shits here, They did offended God his natural disaster every continent has there own disaster. Let me brain some dude here... what Causes Hurricane.. Hurricanes are intense low pressure areas that form over warm ocean waters in the summer and early fall. Their source of energy is water vapor which is evaporated from the ocean surface.

is because of the earth rotation. Winds are always coming out from the West. Even in Nigeria the West is prone to more wind storms than any other part of the country.

I hope if you don't mind if I ask for further clarifications.

Since the earth is a globe, there is actually no 'west' or 'east' or 'north' or 'south'. The west, east north and south owe their names to history rather than actual locations.

Aside that, Asia (which is in the east) is very much prone to flooding and hurricanes.

Government told them to evacuate? Did the government provide alternatives?

Has the government even earned the people's trust? Nonody believes the government. Why should they? Do we even have a government?

All the orderliness you see did not just happen. There is a result of long history of a society where mutual trust has been earned, between the citizens and government, and among citizens.

Soon the Beast of Revelation will arrive.

Great Tribulation occurs.

Then Jesus raptures His own.

God's wrath cleanses the earth.

Armageddon occurs

Millennial reign takes place

Good initiative to leave before the storm lands.

By the way, these people can predict rainfall accurately, they can tell the exact time eclipse is coming, in short they know it all.

But see how ordinary storm have left them running helter skelter yet they cannot do anything to avert it.
Next time let them come and tell me there is no God.

This alone shows the awesomeness of God, HE's got the whole world in HIS hands. If HE choses HE can wipe out humanity within a twinkle of an eye. So all those presidents behaving as if they have all the power to control the world should use this incident to learn a lesson on humility.

NEMA and state Governors should learn from u.s government.It's not always by demolishing people's buildings by claiming they are built in drainage channels or blaming the people of blocking drainages when the appropriate authorities don't come and evacuate waste bin.
