Nigeria’s worst floods in decade see more than 500 deaths – BBC News
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.

Millions of children in the UK will be forced off social media after the government announced it would ban under-16s from accessing a range of platforms.
Apps including TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram will become inaccessible for children, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said.
“We hope to pass regulation before Christmas,” he said, with the ban coming into force in spring 2027.
Tech companies including Meta, Snapchat and YouTube warned a blanket ban would move children into more unsafe online environments.
The government is yet to release the full list of platforms affected, but said YouTube, Facebook and X would also be included.

Close to 800 people have been confirmed to have contracted Ebola in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Of those, about a quarter have died.
Health care workers are struggling to curb the spread of the deadly disease, but they have also witnessed patients recovering – giving hope to their fight against Ebola.
We spoke to the BBC’s Anne Soy who’s been to the epicentre of the outbreak in the DRC, in Ituri province.

North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un has announced plans to expand the country’s nuclear arsenal at ‘an exponential rate’, according to state media reports.
His announcement comes as China’s president, Xi Jinping, is making his first visit to Pyongyang this week since 2019 – the same year Donald Trump met Kim Jong Un several times for failed talks on denuclearisation.
We speak to the BBC’s Celia Hatton about why China might now be trying to keep North Korea in check.

Trump says deal to end war with Iran already signed and details released ‘pretty soon’ | BBC News
The deal to end the war has already been signed electronically by the US and Iran, and details of the Memorandum of Understanding will be released publicly in “24 to 48 hours”, a US official said.
US President Donald Trump said a formal signing ceremony, attended by Vice-President JD Vance, will happen in Switzerland on Friday.
Trump said the deal includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the end of the US naval blockade on Iranian ports.
A senior US official said that Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon is not part of the deal. A spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said ending the conflict in Lebanon is a pivotal part of the framework agreement Iran and the US reached.
Oil prices have fallen and shares risen after the US and Iran said they had agreed a framework deal to end the war.
Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, dropped more than 5% to $82.84 (£61.70) a barrel, while global stock markets rose.

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.

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??
