Drowning

Its the rainy season right now in southern Nigeria and austerity measures are being put into place all over the country due to the upcoming national elections.
As a mentor, I’ve volunteered some of my time between projects to help 5 young Nigerian men who are looking to change their lives around from the trappings of online scamming and feeling helpless in their own communities. The Niger Delta is experiencing one of the worst flooding ever. Thousands of people are becoming stranded, isolated and rendered homeless because of rising flood waters. The dams are at their full capacity and bursting and water is being released creating a dire situation for regular people down stream. It’s the worst flooding they’ve experienced in years. Their government is no where to be found with any help whatsoever. The people are on their own to fend for themselves. The country is ripe with corruption and the level of compassion there is very low.
