BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU...

It had not started to rain at all when a very wise man called Noah was inspired by God and had to start building an Ark.

So couple of months ago three months to be precise or thereabout ,The News office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia Group in Lagos,Nigeria had warned exclusively that the waters of the River Benue starting from the Mount Cameroun region was beginning to rise and so thereby set the alarm bells ringing.

This was targeted  at not just warnings the authorities but the residents in the area so that they will prepare for any form of eventuality and when it finally came it came in torrents.

Paedia Express's Northern Bureau Desk with an annex office in Makurdi,Benue state had reported at the time that some of the streets within the town were flooded  

 USUALLY DURING THE RAINING SEASONS ,THE PEOPLE OF CAMEROUN NORMALLY RELEASE SOME WATERS FROM THEIR DAMS ALONG THE GREAT RIVER AND THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IT FLOODS ANNUALLY

a dry tributary of the River at certain parts of the year,this is one of the deceptive features of all African Rivers

The Waters of River Benue is on the rise and if care is not taken the annual flood ritual may soon take place.

Checks by The News office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia Group in Lagos,Nigeria and in the Northern Bureau in Markurdi , Benue state of Nigeria suggests that some residents were beginning to get worried over the incessant rainfall as they were increasingly finding it difficult to either walk  on foot through the flood in the streets or even drive through them.

An impeccable source while confirming the situation via a telephone conversation said that the shift in the position of the water levels  at Lake Nyos in Cameroun  was the direct cause of the yearly flood

The source also pointed out that the National Meteorological Agency ,a unit of the Federal Ministry of Aviation has since tipped the Niger Benue trough as a likely area to be flooded soon in a recent on air analysis.
