Flood: President Jonathan, Dr Alban's country homes submerged

The flood has so far displaced over 50, 000 people in some states in the north, middle belt and parts of Delta regions. Dr Alban's country home in Oguta, Imo State and President Jonathan's country home in Otuoke community, Bayelsa State have bowed to the flood. More than half of the communities in these areas have been swallowed by flood.

Victims of this flood have been subjected to incredible hardship that most of us who live in states not affected will never begin to understand. Many deaths have been recorded. There have been rape cases, suicides and people missing.

This flood is not particularly a natural disaster, it's more like man made. The flood started early September when Cameroun released water from it's Lagdo dam - the dam supplies electricity to the northern part of Cameroun. Unfortunately water released from the dam is naturally unable to find its path within Cameroun to the Atlantic ocean, so it flows directly into River Benue, and because River Benue is steep, all the states around it is flooded by the water from the dam. Damn!

    not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.

  9. I think that everything published made a great deal of
    sense. But, what about this? what if you composed a catchier post title?
    I am not saying your content isn't solid., but what if you added something to possibly get a person's attention?
    I mean "Flood: President Jonathan, Dr Alban's country homes submerged" is kinda vanilla.
    You could look at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create article titles to grab viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to grab people interested about what you've written.
    In my opinion, it would bring your website a little livelier.
