Dear Nigeria, may God look upon you with mercy!!!

[babaaaron]

As i heard, that dam has been showing faults since 2 years ago but they sat on their hands. Our Nigerian rulers have so thoroughly messed up this country!

[leonardodelacruz]

Animals in cage dying was the tragic part.
May zoos around the world learn a lesson and find a solution for these kinds of situations.

[ChosenCarter-lnxs]

I pray for all those around the world who lost their homes to different circumstances receive residential aid & financial aid 💛

[innocentonyemaenu]

Attributing the flooding as a result of a failed dam to climate change is as bad as the crimes committed by the politicians who failed to carryout the needed maintenance that would have prevented this situation

[adjuafrican]

My heart goes out to my Nigerian brothers and sisters. I wish for you a speedy recovery. From Jamaica with ❤

[okahebuka]

We should also pray for the innocent animals too❤

[Allinfootball-yb]

The only solution govt has for any problem in Nigeria 🇳🇬 is to share rice 🍚 or few naira notes 📝.

[calebadeleye]

We in western Nigeria can't even relate because there is no serious rain here...just light showers. May God be with them in the North. Amen

[BrethrenInChristJesus]

The impact of negligence and bad governance has affected even animals so the animals are also fleeing to IDP camps
