Text: Flood in a village ge
rri
1- The people living in our area are used to having rain all the year round. It is thanks to their high rainfall that
they have such good crops every year. So when the Cross River overflowed its banks, they didn’t think it
o
was at all unusual. Even when Orikpo, the village nearest to the river, was flooded, they weren’t worried.
tc
Then, suddenly in August it rained without stopping for eight days, and most of the villages were swallowed
up in deep flood water. The mud houses where the people had lived for dozens of years were washed away,
se
and several people were drowned.
2- More than 10,000 villagers fled into nearby villages leaving everything behind them. The government gave
them shelter and food.
e
3- Now that the flood has gone down, the people are going back to their lands to see what can be saved. But
nothing is left. More than a thousand compounds have been totally destroyed. The whole area is littered
uv
with old pots, hoes and pieces of roofs. One farmer who had planted thousands of yam seedlings just before
the flood wept as he looked at his fields. Many villagers are roaming about from village to village and
re
sleeping out in the open air.
