Nigeria and Nigerians cannot continue to be reactionary at all time.
Effective Flood management begins with active preparations.
Hope the #FloodinginNigeria this year marks a seismic shift in the way government and society handle flood-risk potentials #beforeNextflood.
#FloodingInNigeria has killed over 600 persons, displaced 1,427,370 people and injured approximately 2,776 persons. We need to drive a national convention to #EndFloodNG. Let's tweet #EndFloodNG & share pictures/videos of damage for the world to know what's happening in Nigeria
As citizens, we also have responsibilities in fighting #FloodinginNigeria .
Citizens living in the coastal areas cannot afford to look away now.
#BeforeNextflood we need all hands to be on deck!
