Are they profiting from floods? I don't understand why we face this flood issue every year. Growing up, I knew there was an annual flood, but it wasn't as disastrous as the 2012 one, which claimed many lives and properties. After that, there was the 2022 flood, and now we're hearing about another one to come this 2023. What has changed that we're experiencing floods again this year? I'm aware that a substantial amount of money is allocated to states affected by floods. I believe that influential individuals benefit from it, while only a small portion goes to the actual flood victims.
This is a serious issue because everyone now wants to move to areas where they don't experience floods. The landowners are increasing their rent in those flood-free areas. Acquiring land there is now outrageously expensive
For those of us living in these areas, you should know how troubled we all are during this period because we're all thinking about where to stay if things get worse this year. It's an experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, especially considering the cost of living. Naija which way. It is well.
What has caused the increase in disastrous floods, and can't the government do something to mitigate the issue?
There are so many factors that can play a part in the reoccurring flooding and while we're not strangers to how the Govt uses every means to loot funds, we too have a role to play too by constantly dropping refuse in drainages when it's raining.
I was very confused when I heard that Cameroon wants to open up the Lagbo dam and our Govt "dutifully" informed us of the impending danger. Like, what are they doing to stop this menace. I read that this issue would have been resorted had our Govt been kind enough to procure measures to stop the water from causing havoc, but what did they do instead? " Please when you wanna release water, kindly inform us" so you'd do what? Come and play the knight in shining armor to victims of the flood by offering them little to nothing as palliative while the lot of it is stored in their warehouses?
By now, the pattern of naija no sopoz shock Op and if say way dey to lie say flood happen when e no happen just to collect money all in the name of budgeting for the flood, them go do am.
