Nigeria has been hit with some of its worst flooding in over a decade, with more than 500 deaths since July.

The floods have also forced 1.4 million people to leave their homes, according to the UN humanitarian coordinator for the nation, Matthias Schmale.

“We’re currently seeing the worst floods in ten years in Nigeria,” he said.

Around 90,000 homes are submerged due to floods in 27 of the country’s 36 states.

    This is caused by climate climate change, Nigeria bad government don’t have to be blamed only, united nation was supposed to have warned Africa countries about Climate Change and how serious it should be taken to prevent this from happening.
    United Nation, who will go and help these homeless people in Nigeria?

    Why the lies!! This has nothing to do with climate. Our government refused to build a control dam in Adamawa, to navigate the water from Cameroon each time Cameroon open up their dam into the river that connects to ours. Why did this guy lie??

    This is so sad and it does make you wonder – I am in England and it is well known the turmoil that is going on here with our government – BUT whatever hardships we may be facing here because of them, it is nowhere near what these people are facing. May God bless these people.
