- Authorities in Nigeria are warning of a looming hunger crisis. The worst flooding for a decade has killed at least 600 people and left more than a million homeless. Even before the floods hit, the country was already battling high inflation and food shortages - and the UN had warned of catastrophic levels of hunger.

The Nigerian government should be held accountable for this. It just breaks my heart how people living in these areas helplessly wait for this flood almost every year. The minister said it's water from God and the President of the country is mute.
Condolences to the victim's and all who is concerned.
Amen
Build proper drainage infrastructure. Only allow building build on higher ground. Problems solved. Common sense.
Problem is everyone is trying to profit and people suffer
Lowland areas have always been vulnerable and with climate change this may be beginning to worsen. Of course the government knew of potential risk.
I already did my part, transferred all my life savings to some princess over there, I am sure she will redistribute it among her subjects most in need now.
Thank you so much Mike. God bless you. Much love from Uganda 🇺🇬
@@tacklesickle Are you slow or something...don't you realize Mike is being sarcastic?
@@amehka5416 Are you slow👍
We don’t have a government!
Well get a baptist reformed one
Stay strong Nigeria. My thoughts with you.
Thank you 💖, with love from Nigeria
Very sad to see this happen to my beloved country Nigeria
My heart goes out to this suffering nation . May they find peace and joy. May help within the country come their way soon.
why? because all money goes through corrupted entities and is a surprise if any money gets to the ones in need
Condolences to all Nigerians and I pray that they do not suffer famine and hunger. May God bless them and help them mightily during this trying time. I am dedicating all my prayers this month and the remaining months of the year to the people of Nigeria.
The flood wasn't caused by raining! The flood is as a result of Cameroon opening their dam
They should get out a net and net the river straight across in the narrows.
Well, in case of floods help gets delivered from air, so from planes. Current situation is... energy crisis, so also plane fuel is scarce and more expensive than usual. Plus, well, spare parts for planes are also porbably being resold , at times illegally across entire Africa to Russia that cannot purchase them legally as easily as it could in the past, hence a crisis impacting humanitarian relief flights is very real and may get even more acute overtime. Not to mention that pandemic and lockdown kept planes grounded and pilots jobless, hence many pilots have left this profession, so crew scarcity is very real and adds to other issues. If boats can be used locally, part of the solution would be using traditional, sailing- based methods of reaching affected areas. The funds for food relief and prices of food are another story. I know there is a movement of going back to tradtional, local , even ancient crops growing in both Africa and India and I would say that this is a correct thinking to prevent and alleviate such disasters in the future. Nigeria and other African countries should look for traditional edible plants that can be grown even in cities, even inside households not only in the fields and which can be harvested quickly. Asian countries have traditions of growing such plants indoors, so Africa can learn from their experience as well. Current fuel and fertiizliers crisis will have a global impact in such situation for next decade, so Nigeria and rest of Africa has to prepare for food shortages in case of floods and for very high food supplies costs on markets. In order to do so decreasing reliance on imported basic food products would be a good direction to go.
Purely, problem of leadership
The state of Anambra in the East of Nigeria is terribly affected by this flood.
Then support Cody Johnston.
Prayers for help. Water and foods and hope the community has a watchful event to make more higher ground to keep damages less. That's said twenty six states. We can't say total poor planning since it was debated for decades . ..it was once thought that our natural canyon was at least in part carved out for such ....so that seems as optional for not as deep trial in only a moderate logical thinking . Because to do such means more height in area and a release region toward larger water ..lined with a coating not affected by erosion, and possibly multi layer and guarding distances as safety ..sounds like a deep reservoir.. then keeping all the mudded land , that's a hard one.
Seeing water is but one need and foods .. especially after floods and bacteria prone water. I think they need at least a few water towers. I remember the train used to hold transport like that.
Sad 🙏🏽
Nigeria needs to take care of its own country and stop being a burner on others.
A lot of rich Nigerian businessmen hail from Anambra. Hope they are also splashing as much money to alleviate this crisis as they did last year around this time iykyk
I hope they are ok, the u other states wouldn’t even be ready if a flood like this happened in many states . When most of these places were built no one thought about climate change or geography
🙏🏻
Amen
💔💔💔
It is rich countryside they will recover by themselves!
Nahh….send us aid 😊
Africans should help Africans!
I think nigiria full of coal or iron ore mining storage in land. But some mining is conform. Wait and see.
Very sad, the media is now reporting incompetent and emotionally saying government try their very best....you must be kidding. With all the educated engineers in Nigerian Noone known the volume of water coming? Even though it happens yearly.
Господи это ужасно,дай Бог чтобы это быстрее закончилось!!!❤️❤️❤️
I’m very sorry. I hope rich countries will assist our African brothers and sisters.
Usa is rich
I thought Nigeria is the giant of Africa,but can not help ordinary Nigerians who really needs help . SAD
The Nigeria government should be held responsible
And as for crew shortage and Nigeria in particular, not sure how much of a common knowledge it is in Nigeria, but , in fact, in civilian food industry flights the majority of pilots were...Russian contractors. If any of them got drafted, since "partial moblization" was also targeting people living abroad but holding Russian citizenship, what Nigeria experiences is ....missing Russian pilots that could fly humanitarian food delivery flights to flood affected regions. This is why Nigeria can learn from Ethiopia that it's good to have its own, native pilots. Ethiopia out of necessity has based its domestic supply of pilots on females, with excellent results. Even military pilots from Ethiopia are females and they are excellent at their job. So Nigeria can think about future floods and train females to fly rescue and food delivery planes and choppers so that it would not have to rely on foreigners again if it comes to the worst. Since foreigners due to some issues in their country of origin may have to leave at any time without a warning.
Nigeria banned foreign things didn't they?
Lord God Almighty let your will be done
Amen
Where is the international aid?
🌹😔🤜🏾🤛🏾
This a national disaster. Urgent Need for help Nigeria leadeŕs help these poor pple
Useless Government of Nigeria (UGN). Where is the Governor of Anambra State Government? President Buhari has yet to do anything whatsoever! Why is this President so unwilling to help its own citizens?
Our government just don't care, I asked a similar question in one of my videos.
Why does the reporter fail to inform us exactly how “climate change” affects these floods and, by extension, the people. Is this the first flood to occur in the region? Maybe she can tell us who it is that told her that “climate change” was one of the contributors to the floods, or did she come up with that on her own? Inquiring minds want to know!
All these reports mention climate change the first chance they get. Never tell us anything about it, but they just drop the buzzword to keep it in people minds. Like floods and droughts never happened before in the countries that are prone to them. I am willing to wager that erosion, removing trees, redirecting river streams and the like is way more to blame than climate change.
LEAVE CLIMATE CHANGE OUT OF THIS
Climate Change and HAARP has everything to do with this!
What do you mean
This is a completely avoidable flooding situation. Nigeria my beloved country is always negligent and failed to uphold their end of the MOU signed almost 40yrs ago, to build a dam 3 times the size of Cameroon's, which should actually generate hyrdo-power and irrigation supply
I hop the government home also flooded too
Call it what you may...it all means one thing...turn from your wicked ways and turn to God
Amen
Let Nigerian find solutions to their floodig issues and stop looking for foreign aid that the money will be split amongst the leaders.
World Bank operats pls
Winter is coming!
There's no winter in Nigeria. They have two seasons - Wet and Dry. Not that a simpleton like you can understand that.
