1
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Drilled. I'm Amy Westervelt. One thing we

2
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: want to be mindful of as we make our way

3
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: through this season about protest and the criminalization of it

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: and all of the conversations swirling around both of those things,

5
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: is that one of the reasons that so many people

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: and companies and think tanks and other organizations have worked

7
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: really hard to generate so much conversation about protest tactics

8
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: and who's radical and who isn't is to distract from

9
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: what's actually going on when it comes to climate change. Today,

10
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: we're bringing you an episode from our sister podcast, Inherited,

11
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: that digs into what is actually happening on the ground

12
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: in a place that's being deeply impacted by climate change

13
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: and also happens to be the largest oil producer on

14
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: the continent of Africa, Nigeria. This episode is called Loss

15
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: Is on the Calendar, and in it, storyteller mo Isu

16
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: traces the repetitive cycle of loss and rebuilding in the

17
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: rural Niger Delta region of Nigeria as the country weather's

18
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: extreme seasonal flooding. After meeting a flood survivor in his

19
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: hometown of Lagos, mo travels twelve hours to Lokoja, the

20
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: town where Nigeria's largest rivers converge, to explore how directly

21
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: impacted flood survivors endure the region's relentless cycle of damage

22
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: and repair. We'll have an episode coming in the next

23
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: few months about what climate protest looks like in Nigeria

24
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: and the history of climate protest there over the past

25
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: few decades. Especially as we head into an international climate

26
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: summit where conversations are very much swirling around whether fossil

27
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: fuel development is the answer to all of Africa's problems

28
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: or not. It's important to remember that yes, energy poverty

29
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: is a problem, and also that the continent of Africa

30
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: is likely to experience some of the worst impacts of

31
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: climate change, and that poor people there will be impacted hardest.

32
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: A solution that ignores either of those things is no

33
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:29,279
Speaker 1: solution will that enjoy this story from mo U in Nigeria.

34
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: In Nigeria, there are two seasons, dry and wet, but

35
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 2: due to the effects of anthropogenic climate change, many people

36
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: of the Niger Delta region spend their summers displaced the

37
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: rivers that provide for them throughout the year flooding at

38
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: alarming rates Hafiday and welcome to Inherited. We share the

39
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: work of young audio storytellers hoping to uplift a new

40
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: generation of climate advocacy. I'm your season host Shalen Martos

41
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: and this is Season three, Episode three. Loss is on

42
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: the calendar. Flooding in the Middle Belt in south of

43
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: Nigeria has become the norm. The banks of the rivers

44
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: Niger and Benway overrun each year, destroying homes and taking

45
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: the lives of people whose livelihoods depend on their access

46
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: to water. Mo Esu remembers the first major floods in

47
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: twenty twelve and sees how the climate crisis directly affects

48
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: the people along the rivers in Nigeria today. He shares

49
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: the voices of people whose communities struggle to adapt to

50
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: the destruction of each rainy season. Here's mo Esu with

51
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: loss Is on the calendar.

52
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: Here are two reasons why June is not like any

53
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: of that month. One, it marks the halfway point of

54
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: the year. Two, perhaps more significantly, because of the rain.

55
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: In the tropical climate of Nigeria, where there are two seasons,

56
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: the dry and the wet, June kicks off the height

57
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: of the wet season. If you get caught out in

58
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: the rain without an umbrella in the middle of June,

59
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: you cannot blame the weather forecast, only yourself.

60
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 4: Personally. I like the rain.

61
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: I like watching the drop spatter against my windows. I

62
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 3: like the cold raize it brings, replacing the humidity. I

63
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: like the certainty of it. Usually we know when the

64
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 3: rains are coming and we know how to prepare for them.

65
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 4: Usually.

66
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 3: In twenty twelve, it felt like no one was prepared

67
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 3: for the rainy season that was fifteen years old at

68
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: the time. Living with my family in the art of Legos,

69
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: I remember this one week in July when the rains

70
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 3: came and did not stop. It rained on Monday, and

71
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, and was still raining when

72
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: the next Monday came around. All the while I watched

73
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: from the safety of my house on the third floor

74
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: of a three story block of flats. I watched the

75
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: pounding rain, the bloodstream winds, and the cushion stream of

76
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 3: water flowed down the streets. I was oblivious to the

77
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 3: change that this particular raining season was going to bring.

78
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 5: It is a critical situation for a number east and west.

79
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 5: The floods of taking over the entire human habitations and

80
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 5: the people are left helpless as their homes and farmlands

81
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 5: are completely washed away.

82
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: In twenty twelve, Nigeria saw its worst flooding in forty years.

83
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: The fifteen year old version of me that watched the

84
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: rain from his window learned from the news what others

85
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 3: lived through. The rain this year was more than they

86
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: had baggained form. By the time June had come and gone,

87
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: disaster struck. Still, there was worse yet.

88
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 6: To come, and as floods continue as the ravaged parts

89
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 6: of the country, even areas earlier believe to be safer

90
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 6: being overrun.

91
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 7: In Delta State, forty three communities in.

92
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 4: The Socer South.

93
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: Communities in the Middle Belt and South of Nigeria were

94
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: the worst hit. The rivers of around their banks and

95
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 3: poor Dunnett gave one off from the downpour, nowhere to go,

96
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: and so the water found home in the places where

97
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: people live. All houses disappeared, leaving only the top of

98
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: their rules.

99
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 4: The situation is not better. It could get stayed.

100
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 7: Yet people aren't able to leave their homes and those

101
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 7: who had gone outside the state before the wicked floods

102
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 7: are now stranded.

103
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 6: The floods ravaged communities in venue Niger, Fugi, Edu and

104
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 6: Kano States, many lucky enough to be alive, and our

105
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 6: refugees in their own country.

106
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 8: The flooding has also hit Adamawa and Taraba, Kano, Bauchi,

107
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 8: Jagawa and Kaduna as well. The official death toll is

108
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 8: around one hundred and forty so far, but AID agencies

109
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 8: fear that will rise as disease takes hold.

110
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: By the end of the year, three hundred and sixty

111
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: three people had died. Seven million people in the the

112
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: two of Nigeria stats six states had been affected. Two

113
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 3: point one million of them were displaced from their homes.

114
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 9: As our learned about flooding news, that's really not something

115
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 9: that we never as zoo will be something that another

116
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 9: flood would be something that would happen to me personally.

117
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: In twenty twelve, Victor Annual was eighteen. His family moved

118
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: to Locoja two years earlier. Lokoja is a river, rhine

119
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: and fishing community, the capital of Good Distate and the

120
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: town where then Injurias, two largest rivers converge. When the

121
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 3: flooding started, Victor's father raised the first alarm. Victor was

122
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: at the time in university in a different part of

123
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: the States.

124
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 4: When the rains came.

125
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: It's father called him, but he met the call with

126
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 3: more skepticism that concern.

127
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 9: I really didn't think that's serious. My father had left

128
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 9: y dramatic. So when is that floor that was like this,

129
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 9: that's coming again? So then I went and travel said

130
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 9: I should come home immediately.

131
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 3: And so Victor did just that. He left his friends

132
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 3: in school and got on a bus to local jar

133
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: where he expected to find his father. Overreacting to a

134
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: little extra water on the bus ride. It's slowly dawned

135
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: on the Victor that his father might not be exaggerating.

136
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: The road that led home run parallel to the River Ninja.

137
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: What was usually a calm, a quiet presence, was suddenly not.

138
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: The water had reason to ice. They did not imagine

139
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: it could reach where trees could be seen before. Now

140
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: there was only the wisper of them. Hounds were half

141
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: submerged underwater. Roads disappeared. The people on the bus with

142
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: him started to cry.

143
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 4: They had never seen the river like this before.

144
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 3: The source of their livelihold was coming for their lives.

145
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 3: When Victor got them, he joined his father in preparation

146
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: for the worst. The flood was growing closer.

147
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 9: Camus in the street next to mine like this used

148
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 9: to be padd All of a sudden, the mode of

149
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 9: trussortation changed from two kings.

150
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: The two of them, father and son did this sort

151
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 3: of recognission. They sit in the neighboring streets to see

152
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: how much of a danger there was. In Victor's mind,

153
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 3: it did not seem like much. Yes, there was a flood.

154
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 3: The river had breached his banks and was flowing deep

155
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: into the streets closest to it. But Victor's family did

156
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: not live on one of those streets. From their house,

157
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: they could not see the water, and into his eyes

158
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: the water was still coming slowly in rapos, gaining ground

159
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: ever so slightly. The flood was still out of sight

160
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 3: when the twelve of them went to bed that night and.

161
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 9: The next morning, just fift away from my house.

162
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 4: I mean, like when you woke up this morning and you.

163
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 9: You know, like my father had gone to call it frock, just.

164
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 10: Packing immediately everything by the time were partly by the

165
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 10: time we're packing fine, moving to find this where this

166
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 10: is stepping into the water, like.

167
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 9: Until the water by town when we're going to the

168
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 9: last of the house.

169
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 3: When when you guys stepped back in that day, did

170
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: you know that you never did you go back to us?

171
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: Whatever? Did you guys realied that you're packing away from you?

172
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 9: We thought this will come back.

173
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 3: It was two weeks before Victor and his father would

174
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: return to their home in their boats to find only

175
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 3: the roof. Escorted with family for a few days, and

176
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 3: soon moved to a different house in a different part

177
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 3: of town, leaving all their neighbors without ever saying goodbye.

178
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 9: Wheveryone was trying to move actually, so it was just like,

179
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 9: we're too traumatized to have any sort of emotional goodbyes.

180
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 9: You understanding you're moving from your house, and look across

181
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 9: you see your best friend's family also trying to move.

182
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 4: She's like at that point or surviver.

183
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 3: Victor's family was born of the lucky ones. They could

184
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 3: afford to move and find last and safety. Some other

185
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 3: families did not have the same privilege like Victor. They

186
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 3: left their homes when the flood came, but instead of

187
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 3: finding homes, they were moved to displacement camps, where they

188
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 3: stayed for the month. It took the water to receeved,

189
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 3: and they have been doing this year after year since

190
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 3: their first incident, because you you've spoken about it then,

191
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: just like now, they like a part of.

192
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 9: Life that the yeah, just ant happen every day.

193
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: In twenty twelve, oblivious to fifteen year old More watching

194
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: from his window, oblivious to Victor and his family to

195
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 3: the old country, something was changing in Nigeria, where the

196
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 3: rain comes in May and lives in October. Flooding a

197
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: certain part of the country became a yearly occurrence. When

198
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 3: it came, it took things, people's homes, livelihoods and security.

199
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 3: Sometimes it took the people to what was meant to

200
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: be one of disasters became a part of life. And

201
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 3: in a place like this, where the people depend on

202
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 3: the river, they don't have the privilege of living. The

203
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 3: only option is to adapt. So my question now is this,

204
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: what does it mean to adapt to loss? To answer

205
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: this question, I took a trip to Local Jab, where

206
00:13:51,120 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 3: Victor and his family once lived. It's May twenty twenty

207
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 3: three and the rainy season has slowly begun to announce itself.

208
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 3: It rained the money and I arrived in Local Jab.

209
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 3: According to the people I spoke, so it's been raining

210
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 3: for the past three days. The rain is late this year,

211
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: but over the next couple of months it will get heavier.

212
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 3: Soon enough, the floods will written. The people who live

213
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: in here know this. Pet me your net first.

214
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 4: My name is Ahmed Omad.

215
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 11: I am an indigen of this.

216
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 12: Community and the YouTube that this community called the book

217
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 12: the community in Ancord on the.

218
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 4: Local local governmental distance the short FLORDILM. It's a yearly chorus. Yelly,

219
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 4: it's a comic.

220
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 9: Sit What have you promoted?

221
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: That's the voice of Ahmed Omar, a community leader in

222
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 3: local j He's asking the question on everybody's band, can

223
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 3: we prevent this? Within this question lies others like why

224
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 3: is this happening now?

225
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 4: And why has the.

226
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 3: Flooding become such a persistent problem. The short answer is

227
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 3: that we are seeing I have volumes of rainfall across

228
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 3: the board in Angeria. The general consensus is that climate

229
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 3: change is the course of this increased rainfall. This increase

230
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 3: is most notable in the Knot, where rainfall was up

231
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: by more than one hundred and fifty percent last year.

232
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 3: Increased rainfall is bad enough by itself. Certain urban areas

233
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 3: like Legos, the most popular city in Anigeria, have the

234
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 3: only other gredients necessary for a flooding disaster, poor drainage

235
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 3: and waste management systems.

236
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 7: Legos are Land, densely populated, is one of such areas

237
00:15:54,600 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 7: bearing the branch of the rainfall, with streets around the Dumago, Jiankara, Ujogua,

238
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 7: among others, retaining the water for months.

239
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: Then there are the communities in the south where the

240
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: River Ninja empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah, I have

241
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: rain for midst rise and sea levels along the coast.

242
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: The resulting flood is disastrous, putting entire communities at risk

243
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 3: of extinction. Finally, we have the East, North and central

244
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 3: part of Nigeria. The longest rivers in the country are

245
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: situated Yere. The River Nanja flows in from the northwest

246
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 3: and the river Anyway from the northeast.

247
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 7: The country experiences seasonal flooding along these two main rivers

248
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 7: every year, but on a far smaller scale.

249
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 4: It's a different story this time. Both rivers Midia in

250
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: Lokoja consisted.

251
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: Of the river.

252
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 4: That's on half of the fence. I go to our

253
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 4: house that were most collapse.

254
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,959
Speaker 3: During my visits to local job I walked through at

255
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 3: Anklo where it is not immediately obvious that most of

256
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 3: these buildings were completely underwater less than a year ago.

257
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: They are a few telt his signs that gave it away.

258
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 3: The robot remains of collapsed houses is one. Water marks

259
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 3: on the houses that survived is another.

260
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 4: This this is your house, your brother.

261
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 3: I met up with Abbas, a farmer and fisherman who

262
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 3: has lived here in a bancolo for as long as

263
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 3: you can remember. Because his livelihood is so attached to

264
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: the river, he has beauty. The house about two hundred

265
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 3: meters away from it. We are looking over the river

266
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 3: when I sit down with him under his shed to

267
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 3: talk about his experience over the past ten years and

268
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 3: now it has changed his relationship with the place it

269
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 3: calls home. We're speaking Pidgeon English and Thenderian career O

270
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: version of English.

271
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 4: Don't talk coming again, really now, don't get the rest

272
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 4: of mine now.

273
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 9: Mine even this one.

274
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 4: Not even talking about this morning. They were wolves dying.

275
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 4: Don't talk this God.

276
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 12: Know what you got.

277
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 4: Their person now?

278
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 9: I said this one.

279
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 4: We're not even talk to you this morning like this.

280
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 3: That God from where it sits the stones show away

281
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 3: from the river, shows me the part of the water

282
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:42,959
Speaker 3: when it starts to overflow its bank. It starts by

283
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 3: mapping out the area closest to the river. He points

284
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 3: at the barring place of land where it says the

285
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 3: church used to stand. All that's left now is the

286
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 3: old tim start for that place.

287
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 12: Before even that the atte this meant so the money

288
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 12: pass they stand and then that's.

289
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 3: There are many stories like this of ghost houses built

290
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 3: before the flooding problem. Before where we've been sitting for

291
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: our interview shows me the outline of what used to

292
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 3: be a three bedroom house. It's unrecognizable to me as

293
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 3: such until it points out on the ground what used

294
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 3: to be the foundation blocks.

295
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 12: Now you mightn't be diagnourished to.

296
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 13: Almost Then we crossed into the places where houses still stand,

297
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 13: including his own, although a few rooms are under construction

298
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 13: following their collapse last year.

299
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 3: Guides made through another one hundred meters of affected houses.

300
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: In reality, every single house and this area was affected

301
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: by last year's flood, including Latifers Latifer to Mosa, whose

302
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 3: house is at least five hundred meters away from the river.

303
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 3: According to Latifer, last year's flooding is the worst he

304
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: has ever experienced, worse than the flooding of twenty twelve.

305
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 3: When the twenty twelve flood came, l if I left

306
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 3: at home out of fear, but the water did not

307
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: actually enter the house. Last year, the flood not only

308
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 3: displaced their family but kept them away for three weeks.

309
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 11: And now my house, so impersoned me the water person

310
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 11: on broad week and no house and they look, they

311
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 11: look my house and not viewish. I go go se

312
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 11: down for where I go, I go find another house.

313
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 11: Now let one rule. I pushed myself and they pushed

314
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 11: my load. Today, all my my husband and my people.

315
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 11: They go fine.

316
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 3: When the flood comes, it doesn't only drive families out

317
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 3: of their homes, it also divides them. In Latin first case,

318
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 3: all eleven members of our family found little places to

319
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 3: squat all around the town. Meanwhile, Abubacle's wife and children

320
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 3: were out in their primary school that costs placed as

321
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 3: a displacement camp during during the season, while a bubaqu

322
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 3: resort at temporary home elsewhere. No one really talks about

323
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 3: this part of flooding, how it breaks up families. Every year,

324
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 3: come October, the news reports statistics the number of people

325
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,479
Speaker 3: are affected, acres of land destroyed, and millions of dollars

326
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 3: in property lost. And behind these statistics are the lives

327
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: of people like Latifa Musa, people who are unable to

328
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 3: get a full night's rest out of fear that the

329
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 3: water will come for them while they sleep.

330
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 11: If you don't, they got nobody. If you sleep, go back,

331
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 11: you sleep smart, we go away. You gonna look at

332
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 11: maybe this year the month so that nobody.

333
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 9: If you wear your sleep go back.

334
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 3: People like go back, who are in a perpetual state

335
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 3: of the building with similar beauty.

336
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 4: Of who don't have any.

337
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 3: People like the many by to encountered in the displacement

338
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 3: camp last year when you visited people for whom losing

339
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 3: their home has become a yearly experience.

340
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 4: So now they have so many interesting they have clicks.

341
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 4: They have clicks.

342
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 9: Yes in the town like it's like and this clicks,

343
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 9: houseful food together, when they shave the look out for

344
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 9: their own interests. And then when you talk to them

345
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 9: you realize that these people meet this camp.

346
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 4: Like four years ago back.

347
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 3: So these people are now for many new communities in

348
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 3: their temporary homes, bonded by their shared experience of loss.

349
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 3: This is what it means when displacement becomes part of

350
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 3: the calendar. It changes your life, not just once, but

351
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 3: over and over again. It's been ten years since Nigeria

352
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 3: started facing regular flooding. Places like Cookies still don't have

353
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 3: any real infrastructure in place to mitigate the flooding or

354
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 3: to cater for the affected people in the community I visited.

355
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 3: Every year, a few classrooms of a school are converted

356
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 3: into alls to house they displaced. Hundreds of people, mostly

357
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 3: women and children, pack themselves into these classrooms and they wait.

358
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 4: They are waiting for help.

359
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 3: When they help comes from the government, who comes in

360
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 3: the form of donated food, food that these people would

361
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: then have to fight over a Barbacrid does and stay

362
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: in the camp with his family because he can't stand

363
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 3: that kind of shame.

364
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 12: Two up of rice? What do you Why would you

365
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 12: account what he wants? We won't expect they eat too

366
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 12: four to carry the fight on top of me.

367
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 3: You can't stand the idea of not being able to

368
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 3: provide for his family and being reduced to fighting for

369
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 3: some cops of rice. This is not the oppy ones,

370
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 3: and if I've been honest, this is not the oppen needs.

371
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 3: I met Omar, a community leader in local jam told

372
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 3: me of an angel that just a couple of months

373
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: before we spoke, went around donating building materials to people

374
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 3: in this community.

375
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 11: Yes, I they can to work, Saint Clement, they would

376
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 11: want that you were happy for They give us zinc.

377
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 9: Telepond of zinc, give us fifteen part of cement.

378
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 4: They gave us over fifty blog of block.

379
00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 8: You give up the.

380
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 4: That's what probably do to them. You just do your estimate.

381
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 3: Was one of the beneficiaries of this act of kindness.

382
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 3: When I met him, he had already used some of

383
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 3: these materials in good in.

384
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 12: His own givement. Give blog band good bye role your

385
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 12: bed the guy revery.

386
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 3: So I thought, maybe this is the up needs. Then

387
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 3: he confessed to me that if given the chance, he

388
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 3: would move. After living here for so long, after starting

389
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 3: a family year, was ready to say goodbye to his own.

390
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 3: He was ready to live somewhere he could have peace

391
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 3: of mind. So maybe this is it. Maybe they help

392
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: these people need is with relocating. I brought his hypothesis

393
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 3: up with Ahmed and he reacted with this story. Back

394
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: in twenty twelve, when the floods first came, the Nigeria

395
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 3: government at the time had moved to relocate the affected people.

396
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 3: An estate was built and houses were allocated to the victims.

397
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 3: It was one of those rare moments when the government

398
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: seemed to actually take action. But the people that benefited

399
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 3: from this that we awarded these houses and pieces of land.

400
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 4: The sued the land majority so their land a majority

401
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 4: put it to come back to the two.

402
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 3: Are in case shemist that Ahmed is telling me that

403
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: many of the people who benefited from this game so

404
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 3: roted out their houses and moved right back to their

405
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: homes by the river, bringing us back to where we

406
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 3: started waiting for elasting solution. Much has changed since twenty

407
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 3: twelve when I watched the rain obliviously from my window.

408
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 3: With every veiny season that watches by, more and more

409
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 3: Nanjia has become vulnerable to the devastating effects of Sisna flooding.

410
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 3: There is attension in the air every time it rains.

411
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 3: We will do what I come forwards now or will

412
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 3: we get on a diem. It's June, as I put
