 Ibadji used to be a district and fortunately, some years ago, Ibadji was created as a local government area and the former district that had become a local government area now has three districts. The three districts also put together have ten political words in the districts and the words all put together called Ibadji. We have about sixty-eight communities. Things have changed, not for better this time, but for worse, because the River Niger is coming beyond the level that it used to come. It's coming now in such a large volume that the whole place is flooded, and when it is flooded, it comes with all the devastation. If I mean I'd be helping me in short, since I grew up, I mean this time I got married, got 60 issues. I still being in the farm, because I know what he has helped me. But the time we are faced with this crop in August, we look at the difficulty to take it to market. That is either it's our popular market, where you can see anybody to buy. But if the water flows to come well, they carry the engine boat. They follow the big river here from the middle, the entire corner inside here. It would be better for them to load the corn, whatever they want to buy, they will buy and fill the engine and go back to it. Before from Ibadji to either it's off to twenty minutes, you don't reach it. But now, off to two hours, you can't reach it either. Especially when rain falls like this, everywhere will be water, no waves. Particular, Lukugomen means government aids. The road is bad. We started since morning by 10 a.m. and we have not even gotten to our destination yet. We are still on the road. I start now, you cannot travel from Ibadji to Ibadji, to Onedega, the headquarters of Ibadji Lukugomen, because of all these ponds, because the road has been badly damaged as a result of flood. So the road is bad. We are cut away from other parts of the country. Even from the other parts of the state, Ibadji is being cut away. So there's nothing we can do now. If you want to move out from Ibadji, a step, you pass through Rivananga. And then if you are going to other parts of Ibadji, those that are in Heaterland, they will find it extremely difficult. How they transport their farm produce to nearby markets is a problem. Even how to get farm inputs, like fertilizer, which is bulky, has become a problem. They cannot go anywhere, wherever they reach and they cannot move any longer, they drop them. And people will come and carry the other by head or by motorcycle. From Odogu, to Unale, from Unale to Ijogono, to Ijogono to Onedega, we did some little diversion to make sure our people get to the headquarters of Ibadji Lukugomen. So that is the little we were able to do. There can be a solution. One way is dredging of the river Niger. And when we say dredging, we mean making the river deeper, not just throwing sand on the bank of the river. We are proposing, we are advising, we are pleading with the federal government to do some dams in the country. So that is not every drop of water that forms the flood that will come and overflow the Ibadji land. Good morning, Provost. Thank you very much. Good to see you. The flood water passed through forest, passed through the place we can call Refuse Domesai, where different type of waste, dangerous waste, waste that are Cassinogenic, waste that are Hazardous, waste that are industrial, industrial, I mean, that are Cassinogenic, they are all inside this forest and the flood water carry them. They take them to the communities. And the communities reflect this water for consumption. They can be outbreak of common communicable diseases, cholera, hypolemina. So the communities should be educated. They should be intensive and extensive education by the professionals, environmental health officers on the, particularly on the method of purification of water. Water should be purified, water should be treated before consumption. You will know that it got to a point that the road stopped. You understand? So it's not as if the state government is not doing, but you just discover that, I mean, it cannot just be done any day. It is, it is a project that is still ongoing. And we are trying to see how the road can be completed to Ibagi, because we know that when you talk of rice in the state, honestly, rice coming from Ibagi, if were, and if, you know, were funded, I would say it automatically that it can feed the entire state. When the flood has come, we can't get anything to buy in this area because we are all farmers. When you buy yam, there is something to take makeshift. We can't get it because of the distance from here to Ida and the road is not good. There's no other way. You can't get to Ida. That is where we suffer a lot. For that two months, the flood will stay before I go back. We suffer a lot. There is nobody who will come this side. We will remain until the flood goes before it starts coming out. We will remain until the flood goes before it starts coming out.
