Matazu, while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme said every Nigerian should expect flooding that may wreak havoc across the country in the next few weeks.
According to him, NiMeT had issued several warnings pertaining to flooding, and heavy downpours for Nigerians to take precautions, but unfortunately, many refused to take action against flooding.
He said Nigerians were in the habit of dumping refuse in drainage channels and cutting down trees, which are the main causes of flooding.
He said in the next two weeks, there will be increased rainfall saying that July, August, and September are the most active periods for flooding.
Matazu, while calling on people living in flood planes to evacuate immediately, said there is a global concern especially as it relates to climate change, stressing
the need for Nigerians to take weather forecasts seriously.

Father Lord pls save us ! That reminds me about a very scary dream I had few weeks ago about flooding,Lord have mercy
ReplyDeleteBut some people are so annoying,how can you empty your trash inside the gutter when it's raining? So where will that trash end up? So many lagosians are so found of this rubbish..Kai
That is when a lot of them empty their trash bins...how can you be so dirty? We just do things without putting into consideration it’s negative effects. Let’s all try to do right with ourselves and kids.
DeleteSluttychic.
Every year same story for that una country. When will Nigerians ever learn? Or prepare
DeleteFor once I agree with them. Sometimes we're our own problems.
ReplyDeleteThe last thing an average Nigerian will do is to adhere to rules and regulations,Drainages are blocked because of us!
We no dey follow rules for this side of the world
DeleteBeejay
God have mercy on us
ReplyDeleteCanoe to the rescue
ReplyDeleteThis is not good
ReplyDeleteThose days. A day is decleared sanitation day. Every one is mandated to clean his/her environment. These days. Everyone does anyhow.
ReplyDeleteIt is only in Nigeria that you will see that the government are not doing things the right way and the citizens also will join them. We all know almost everywhere in Nigeria lack good drainages and the people won't stop dumping their refuses inside the floodwaters. What my eyes saw last week that rain met me inside the market ehn...
ReplyDeleteOh Chim!! 🙆🥺🥲
ReplyDeleteLord, please have mercy on us
ReplyDeleteI thought the month of August was suppose to experience a little absence of rain
ReplyDeleteAbi o. August break
Delete.but global warming is changing things
A lot of times we are our own problem in this Nigeria
ReplyDeleteHeaven help those who help themselves by not putting dirt to block the channel of flood to pass through.
ReplyDeleteA times i don't blame this people who throw their dirt in the gutter or canal..I blame the state government.When you have dirts and people in charge of waste don't come to pack them,where else will you put it?Like in my own area,PSP don't come at all.All we do is to bring the dirt outside and let sun shine on them to dry them,then we burn the dirts..We have been doing this for years now..That is what everyone in my area does..We burn waste..So government should really work on that..
ReplyDeleteThis is serious o.
ReplyDeleteI just remember my family people in riverine area. They usually pass through slot during rainy season. May God continue to protect and provide finance to get s better place.
ReplyDeleteDivinely
Amen.
DeleteLord have mercy 🙏
ReplyDeleteGod safe your people. I hate flood.
