Albie:

So delta wasn't flooded? Smh.

Did I mentioned that Delta wasn't flooded? I'm presently in Delta state and most of the villages in Isoko land is flooded. Patani and ading lands are under flood.
It's not funny. Port Harcourt road is blocked

Which State please?

Nlanalyst:

You aren't getting the point, are you?
If Lagos experiences flooding, it's expected.
Kogi is a confluence state.
How is Anambra submerged in flood, literally having it worse than other states bordering Cameroon? And River Niger?

Mumuni,so you no know say River Niger flows thru Kogi to Anambra state,especially thru this town being submerged now?

BanevsJoker:

The Niger bridge is literally between Delta and Anambra. Are you drunk or just determined to push a false narrative?

Na im anti Igbo sentiment the make am behave like mad person

Nlanalyst:

Exactly what I have been waiting for you to bring up because you all appear deluded.

What's that thing you said about the cause of this particular flood?
Overflow of River Niger? Or Lagdo dam in Cameroon?
Mind you, to help your ignorance. River Benue is what has link to Lagdo Dam not River Niger, so please make me understand why Anambra is submerged in flood?

What is the cause of the flood in Kogi state?
Or you do not know that the River Niger flows from Kogi to Anambra to the Atlantic ocean?

Then what did you throw the east is landlocked and bad town planning inhabitable card? As if it was bad town planning that caused the natural disasters

Oga what do you know about see level, be comionate for once,Nigeria did not do the needful earlier before now,that why it is like this

godofuck231:
Hes swimming in his money, stupid men in nigeria who build houses without town plan supervision, the house was built below sea-level, as why in nigeria uou see red markings on walls when roads are being built, with the ocean surge , you see such men lavishing in ther ignorance

Some people arguing like total a-holes on this thread, a simple googling of Nigeria's topography, relief and drainage map would have given a clue to why parts of these states in the Niger Delta region are flooded when excess water is released from a dam in Cameroun

DesChyko:


Anam in Anambra.

Something like this also happened in 2012. Once dam water is released..boom!

And Delta state. Just b4 and after d Niger river.
Saw this shit and was so sorry for them mehn.

Oxb90:
If Nigeria has used all the energy it spent in championing cow-related issues since the inception of this istration to pursue true national problems like this flooding challenges, maybe things like this will not continue to be a yearly experience for its citizens.
Can this beautiful edifice remain the same after.....

You bee mumu...so they should sand fill the whole Nigeria.


You people just talk in E-diots

On a serious note... Prior to the flood, it was not a mansion but moment of the flood, it can be called a mansion.

A mansion is a building OR home with everything a house must have, including a swimming pool etc.

first, your obvious ignorance of climatic changes is glaring.
Secondly, you are still in poverty and have hatred for the rich.
Moreso go and make your own money before you castigate the rich.

BanevsJoker:



Stop talking nonsense. Update yourself with proper information or keep quiet. The flood was caused by release of water from a dam in Cameroon. Nigeria was supposed to build another dam in Adamawa state to cushion the effects and since the early 80's are yet to build it. Town planning and drainage will not build a dam for the Nigerian Federal Government.

Why would you condemn what the guy wrote as nonsense ... then write this? What you wrote is foolishness... and you have confirmed it is so. In your own words ... it was expected that water would at times be released from the Cameroonian Dam . To avoid flooding in Nigeria ... a dam was to be built in Adamawa... but it was not . This was since early 1980's.

Now my question to you .... didn't the town planners know this? ... and that as long as the dam was not built Lekki would be a flood zone whenever water is released? Isn't it foolish to permit building of houses ... mansions in a flood zone? Don't you think the town planners should've waited until the dam was built to permit building in the area?
At times we are the architects of our own disasters ... this is one such time... and we should recognize instead of pointing fingers elsewhere.
We see the same in California almost every year ... wealthy people being permitted to build mansions in the once off limit Fire Belt .... and every year fire rages through and consume their homes they are shocked.

A foolish man builds his house upon the sand.

Collins4u1:



I wouldn't go further dragging this.. I believe much you know is what you've seen through the windows of a moving vehicle.
Know it today that east is not landlocked.

I was enjoying your submission until you said east is not landlocked.

MICHEALADEX:

You people just talk in E-diots

You just opened your mouth waaaaah without making any sense.
You are actually the real and big mu²(expand it).


Nigerian government had an agreement with Cameroonian government to construct a dam that will serve as a recieving dam whenever they(Cameroon) open their dam but Nigeria's government have not completed the construction till today.
This happens yearly and yet they haven't done anything to it.

sirjoggy:
God please we don't want such at Lagos

Its flooding in some part of lagos na

Nlanalyst:

It has everything to do with improper town planning, especially when it's happening in the East. Eastern Nigeria has nothing to do with flood this much. Look at Delta State, the areas mostly affected by the overflow of river Niger are used for farming and not for habitation.
Unless the excessive overflow of the river basin as it is currently. Isn't South East landlocked on norms?

The South-east is landlocked just Like the Igbo-speaking part of Delta State. Are some Igbo speaking part of Delta Like Aboh, Okpai, oko etc not affected by the flood? In your attempt to sound sound woke, you did nothing other than to expose your crass ignorance.

All your education didn't make you to know that Anambra state has riverine areas along the River Niger,and that the famous Anambra river basin which is a tributary of the River Niger lies within the state.
Your education didn't expose you to the knowledge that Kogi state, which so far, is the most affected by the flood has a boundary With the Northern part of Anambra, and that along that axis, there is a Long stretch of Marshy and swampy lands, whose physical features are similar to what we have in Bayelsa and riverine parts of Delta and Rivers States. That particular place is where this community on the camera, Anam is located.
You further exposed your ignorance about the geography of the country by questioning why the River Benue does not cause flood in Akwaibom and Calabar. For real? Are you so dumb not to know that River Benue does not through Akwaibom and Calabar? FYI, River Benue enters Nigeria through Adamawa, and flows through Taraba, Gombe, Plateau ,Nasarawa,and finally meets the River Niger at Lokoja, Kogi state. Having accumulated the water from River Benue, Niger now flows southwards from Lokoja to Anambra (where Anambra River basin and Anam are lactated), Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa states.
All these states are affected by the flood.

Stop displaying your ignorance on a public forum

This is a result of a govt that championed only cow related policies from day one at the expense of others!!!!

God have mercy on real Nigerians

sirjoggy:
God please we don't want such at Lagos

If e happen for lagos na die ooooooooo

UrPapa:
shut up u lying agbado urchin
FYI, anambra can never be flooded. Do you know the amount of infrastructure Obi has laid down to tackle that? Or you think Anambra is mate to your glorified Lagos ghetto that’s always ravaged by flood

Like Gregory, like his lying ers.

You have successfully dished a lie today.

Oh you mean one more to garnish it?

Hell no!

dandollaz:
Pls try update yourself on what is happening in the world.

He has a point! There’s no proper town planning in most of the cities in Nigeria. The runoff from those closely packed high rise residential buildings are the number one cause of erosion…the poorly planned drainages are are perennial culprit in flooding. This particular issue in the OP is different but it doesn’t invalidate his point.

House built below ocean level? Hmm. It z just an upsurge in the volume of water. Probably the place is prone to such before. Cause could be global warming.

TUTU147:
When the dam is over filled, you release some in other not to destroyed the whole dam.

Okay.

There should be a better way to channel the large volume of water coming out from the dams should that happen.

Water no be anybody mate oo

Nlanalyst:

You are being a crybaby.
Going by this your nonsensical submission, AkwaIbom, Rivers, Calabar, Taraba and perhaps Benue should be several feet under water already. How is Anambra being affected more than those bordering Cameroon?

You're Ignorant about this issue.

How will Anambra not suffer because of flash flood? Do you even know Anambra share boarder with River Niger? Even Bayelsa and some other coastal states are suffering from this.

A Dam needs to be built by the FG or State Government

LawMan44:
Smells like illegitimate money
Who build such palatial mansion without proper drainage and other measures..

You no just wise

he has given you the fact of the situation. The cause is due to Nigerian Failure to build a ing dam to prevent flooding. But as usual, just like every other abandoned projects since the 70s, money was stolen and nobody cares. Very pathetic situation. The dam supposed generate electricity as well but you know what, all money has been embezzled since the 70s 80s.

I wander why the FG is finding it so hard to build a dam

Nigerian government can stop this flooding if they want to. The government know what to do

It will be really bad if it happens in Lagos.
Jeez, I didn't realize it was this bad.

Why you dey fall your hand like this?

Proper planning and good drainage is required for flood control, however, for this particular case the cause of flooding was the absence of a dam.

The question you should have asked is it possible for places without proper drainage to get flooded if Nigeria had built the purported dam and practice controlled flooding in an occasion like this?

I am sure the guy you quoted would have come up with an answer that might warrant the re-enforcement of your initial position.

Use your head
