I saw people building houses inside the confluence of River Niger and River Benue in Lokoja the last time I traveled to Abuja. I was surprised that government could over look such act.


The mokwa flooded area must have been a forgotten flood path that people build houses on over time.

Water no get time...

Let's blame the victims as usual

I see the flood reaching the abode of a known d.rug dealer

I see it covering his entire place of residence

This I have seen!

It still boils down to government inadequacy, that location was not meant to be built on. The government/leaders are not proactive.

It's possible.

May Allah protect us and them!

Do due diligence before buying your landed properties!

I experienced a devastating flood last year in maiduguri but its almost a joke compared to the number of lives lost to this one.

May God heal their land

Water no get friend.

It is a piety

Nature don create way for itself be that

My thoughts too, from the picture it's obvious

Funny thing is that after a couple of years some people will still buy the abandoned plots to build their houses and same flood disaster will happen again

It's eazy to identify children from broken homes

Why did they build on the water way? Funny thing is that before the white man left after independence, they had clearly mapped out the water ways in Nigeria but over time, through stupidity and greed, Nigerians have built on land that was clearly reserved as a buffer during times of flooding. We never learn.

Person go open e eye build house inside low land like that with high grounds all around. Best wishes to the losers, we all make mistakes.

The flood washed away all those houses and structures along its path. Lesson: that route is a flood prone area to be left alone.

This is the real issue I tell you. Lots of those house are close and and are even along the flow of the river bank with no proper drainage. Government needs to come hard in some of these practices otherwise this mishap is likely to repeat itself due to lack of compliance and stricter enforcement of land use act

You’re correct! In my area, people are constructing houses near canals, with some even building directly over waterways, oblivious to the dangers involved. When I explained the risks to one of them, his response was, “Is this your community?”

Some of Mokwa's victims must have been warned of the dangers of their actions, but as usual, they overlooked it.
