The issue of flooding in Nigeria especially in the southern states continues to be a major source of concern to citizens both home and abroad.
The heavy floods in Nigeria have killed at least 603 people and displaced upwards of 1.3 million since September, said Sadiya Umar Farouq, the country’s minister of humanitarian affairs and disaster management, at a media briefing.
The homes of prominent people aren’t exempted from the destruction caused by the flood.
The house of former president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, in Ogbia local government area of the state, has been ravaged by the unstoppable force.
During his visit to the hometown of the former president to assess the situation on Friday, the Bayelsa state governor, Duoye Diri lamented the level of destruction caused by what he described as an “attack by natural disaster” on the livelihood of Bayelsans.
Goodluck Jonathan has now also become internally displaced as a result of the flood
