Flooding in Niger State: A Tragic Reminder of Our Shared Humanity

I received with deep sadness the tragic news of the devastating flooding in the Mokwa Community of Niger State, which has claimed over 100 lives and submerged more than 3,000 homes. This is a heartbreaking and deeply distressing development for our nation.

The scale of destruction is unimaginable - entire families have been displaced, livelihoods destroyed, and whole communities thrown into mourning. My heart goes out, with deep comion, to all the victims, their families, and the entire Mokwa community. At a time like this, we are reminded of the importance of empathy, solidarity, and swift action to one another through grief and loss.

I commend the Niger State Government for and the tireless efforts of emergency workers engaged in rescue and relief operations. At the same time, I urge the Federal Government, and other humanitarian organisations, to intensify their interventions by ensuring the timely provision of essential relief - shelter, food, clean water, and medical care - to all those affected.

This tragic disaster is yet another urgent call for Nigeria to reassess and significantly strengthen our disaster preparedness systems. We must invest in sustainable and proactive solutions that protect lives and property, particularly in vulnerable riverine communities, as the rainy season continues.

I extend my deepest condolences to the government and people of Niger State, and to every family that has lost a loved one. May God Almighty console them, forgive the sins of the departed, and grant them eternal rest. -PO

Tinubu is worse than a natural disaster.
His anti-people policies have done more damages than this natural disaster.

Peter Obi

What a country, chai

Obi is the only genuinely upright politician in the entire country with genuine empathy and human feeling. He's hated by only bitter souls from the pit of hell.


Rip to dead, Nigeria failed them woefully.

Always quick to react to goings on in other places but keeps mum on what happens daily in the south east

This is tragic. The Government needs to be more responsible

He’s a human being full of empathy and milk of kindness for mankind, and it does not matter what you and your likes who have lost their humanity think of him.

God bless Obi and sympathies to the good of Niger State and all those affected.

One Man that Cherish Good existence in Nigeria is Peter Obi. You can hate him but he is far above other pretenders that lacks ideology.

If these incident had happened in India, Nigerians would have said God loves Nigeria that's why it doesn't happen here.
Now it has happen here, will they now say God hates Nigeria

Proverbs 29:2 KJV

"When The Righteous Are in Authority, The People Rejoice: But When The Wicked Beareth Rule, The People Mourn."

Ever Since Tinubu Became Ruler, it Has Being One Calamity or The Other.

It is well
