Speaker 1: Welcome back to Drilled. I'm Amy Westervelt. One thing we
Speaker 1: want to be mindful of as we make our way
Speaker 1: through this season about protest and the criminalization of it
Speaker 1: and all of the conversations swirling around both of those things,
Speaker 1: is that one of the reasons that so many people
Speaker 1: and companies and think tanks and other organizations have worked
Speaker 1: really hard to generate so much conversation about protest tactics
Speaker 1: and who's radical and who isn't is to distract from
Speaker 1: what's actually going on when it comes to climate change. Today,
Speaker 1: we're bringing you an episode from our sister podcast, Inherited,
Speaker 1: that digs into what is actually happening on the ground
Speaker 1: in a place that's being deeply impacted by climate change
Speaker 1: and also happens to be the largest oil producer on
Speaker 1: the continent of Africa, Nigeria. This episode is called Loss
Speaker 1: Is on the Calendar, and in it, storyteller mo Isu
Speaker 1: traces the repetitive cycle of loss and rebuilding in the
Speaker 1: rural Niger Delta region of Nigeria as the country weather's
Speaker 1: extreme seasonal flooding. After meeting a flood survivor in his
Speaker 1: hometown of Lagos, mo travels twelve hours to Lokoja, the
Speaker 1: town where Nigeria's largest rivers converge, to explore how directly
Speaker 1: impacted flood survivors endure the region's relentless cycle of damage
Speaker 1: and repair. We'll have an episode coming in the next
Speaker 1: few months about what climate protest looks like in Nigeria
Speaker 1: and the history of climate protest there over the past
Speaker 1: few decades. Especially as we head into an international climate
Speaker 1: summit where conversations are very much swirling around whether fossil
Speaker 1: fuel development is the answer to all of Africa's problems
Speaker 1: or not. It's important to remember that yes, energy poverty
Speaker 1: is a problem, and also that the continent of Africa
Speaker 1: is likely to experience some of the worst impacts of
Speaker 1: climate change, and that poor people there will be impacted hardest.
Speaker 1: A solution that ignores either of those things is no
Speaker 1: solution will that enjoy this story from mo U in Nigeria.
Speaker 2: In Nigeria, there are two seasons, dry and wet, but
Speaker 2: due to the effects of anthropogenic climate change, many people
Speaker 2: of the Niger Delta region spend their summers displaced the
Speaker 2: rivers that provide for them throughout the year flooding at
Speaker 2: alarming rates Hafiday and welcome to Inherited. We share the
Speaker 2: work of young audio storytellers hoping to uplift a new
Speaker 2: generation of climate advocacy. I'm your season host Shalen Martos
Speaker 2: and this is Season three, Episode three. Loss is on
Speaker 2: the calendar. Flooding in the Middle Belt in south of
Speaker 2: Nigeria has become the norm. The banks of the rivers
Speaker 2: Niger and Benway overrun each year, destroying homes and taking
Speaker 2: the lives of people whose livelihoods depend on their access
Speaker 2: to water. Mo Esu remembers the first major floods in
Speaker 2: twenty twelve and sees how the climate crisis directly affects
Speaker 2: the people along the rivers in Nigeria today. He shares
Speaker 2: the voices of people whose communities struggle to adapt to
Speaker 2: the destruction of each rainy season. Here's mo Esu with
Speaker 2: loss Is on the calendar.
Speaker 3: Here are two reasons why June is not like any
Speaker 3: of that month. One, it marks the halfway point of
Speaker 3: the year. Two, perhaps more significantly, because of the rain.
Speaker 3: In the tropical climate of Nigeria, where there are two seasons,
Speaker 3: the dry and the wet, June kicks off the height
Speaker 3: of the wet season. If you get caught out in
Speaker 3: the rain without an umbrella in the middle of June,
Speaker 3: you cannot blame the weather forecast, only yourself.
Speaker 4: Personally. I like the rain.
Speaker 3: I like watching the drop spatter against my windows. I
Speaker 3: like the cold raize it brings, replacing the humidity. I
Speaker 3: like the certainty of it. Usually we know when the
Speaker 3: rains are coming and we know how to prepare for them.
Speaker 4: Usually.
Speaker 3: In twenty twelve, it felt like no one was prepared
Speaker 3: for the rainy season that was fifteen years old at
Speaker 3: the time. Living with my family in the art of Legos,
Speaker 3: I remember this one week in July when the rains
Speaker 3: came and did not stop. It rained on Monday, and
Speaker 3: on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, and was still raining when
Speaker 3: the next Monday came around. All the while I watched
Speaker 3: from the safety of my house on the third floor
Speaker 3: of a three story block of flats. I watched the
Speaker 3: pounding rain, the bloodstream winds, and the cushion stream of
Speaker 3: water flowed down the streets. I was oblivious to the
Speaker 3: change that this particular raining season was going to bring.
Speaker 5: It is a critical situation for a number east and west.
Speaker 5: The floods of taking over the entire human habitations and
Speaker 5: the people are left helpless as their homes and farmlands
Speaker 5: are completely washed away.
Speaker 3: In twenty twelve, Nigeria saw its worst flooding in forty years.
Speaker 3: The fifteen year old version of me that watched the
Speaker 3: rain from his window learned from the news what others
Speaker 3: lived through. The rain this year was more than they
Speaker 3: had baggained form. By the time June had come and gone,
Speaker 3: disaster struck. Still, there was worse yet.
Speaker 6: To come, and as floods continue as the ravaged parts
Speaker 6: of the country, even areas earlier believe to be safer
Speaker 6: being overrun.
Speaker 7: In Delta State, forty three communities in.
Speaker 4: The Socer South.
Speaker 3: Communities in the Middle Belt and South of Nigeria were
Speaker 3: the worst hit. The rivers of around their banks and
Speaker 3: poor Dunnett gave one off from the downpour, nowhere to go,
Speaker 3: and so the water found home in the places where
Speaker 3: people live. All houses disappeared, leaving only the top of
Speaker 3: their rules.
Speaker 4: The situation is not better. It could get stayed.
Speaker 7: Yet people aren't able to leave their homes and those
Speaker 7: who had gone outside the state before the wicked floods
Speaker 7: are now stranded.
Speaker 6: The floods ravaged communities in venue Niger, Fugi, Edu and
Speaker 6: Kano States, many lucky enough to be alive, and our
Speaker 6: refugees in their own country.
Speaker 8: The flooding has also hit Adamawa and Taraba, Kano, Bauchi,
Speaker 8: Jagawa and Kaduna as well. The official death toll is
Speaker 8: around one hundred and forty so far, but AID agencies
Speaker 8: fear that will rise as disease takes hold.
Speaker 3: By the end of the year, three hundred and sixty
Speaker 3: three people had died. Seven million people in the the
Speaker 3: two of Nigeria stats six states had been affected. Two
Speaker 3: point one million of them were displaced from their homes.
Speaker 9: As our learned about flooding news, that's really not something
Speaker 9: that we never as zoo will be something that another
Speaker 9: flood would be something that would happen to me personally.
Speaker 3: In twenty twelve, Victor Annual was eighteen. His family moved
Speaker 3: to Locoja two years earlier. Lokoja is a river, rhine
Speaker 3: and fishing community, the capital of Good Distate and the
Speaker 3: town where then Injurias, two largest rivers converge. When the
Speaker 3: flooding started, Victor's father raised the first alarm. Victor was
Speaker 3: at the time in university in a different part of
Speaker 3: the States.
Speaker 4: When the rains came.
Speaker 3: It's father called him, but he met the call with
Speaker 3: more skepticism that concern.
Speaker 9: I really didn't think that's serious. My father had left
Speaker 9: y dramatic. So when is that floor that was like this,
Speaker 9: that's coming again? So then I went and travel said
Speaker 9: I should come home immediately.
Speaker 3: And so Victor did just that. He left his friends
Speaker 3: in school and got on a bus to local jar
Speaker 3: where he expected to find his father. Overreacting to a
Speaker 3: little extra water on the bus ride. It's slowly dawned
Speaker 3: on the Victor that his father might not be exaggerating.
Speaker 3: The road that led home run parallel to the River Ninja.
Speaker 3: What was usually a calm, a quiet presence, was suddenly not.
Speaker 3: The water had reason to ice. They did not imagine
Speaker 3: it could reach where trees could be seen before. Now
Speaker 3: there was only the wisper of them. Hounds were half
Speaker 3: submerged underwater. Roads disappeared. The people on the bus with
Speaker 3: him started to cry.
Speaker 4: They had never seen the river like this before.
Speaker 3: The source of their livelihold was coming for their lives.
Speaker 3: When Victor got them, he joined his father in preparation
Speaker 3: for the worst. The flood was growing closer.
Speaker 9: Camus in the street next to mine like this used
Speaker 9: to be padd All of a sudden, the mode of
Speaker 9: trussortation changed from two kings.
Speaker 3: The two of them, father and son did this sort
Speaker 3: of recognission. They sit in the neighboring streets to see
Speaker 3: how much of a danger there was. In Victor's mind,
Speaker 3: it did not seem like much. Yes, there was a flood.
Speaker 3: The river had breached his banks and was flowing deep
Speaker 3: into the streets closest to it. But Victor's family did
Speaker 3: not live on one of those streets. From their house,
Speaker 3: they could not see the water, and into his eyes
Speaker 3: the water was still coming slowly in rapos, gaining ground
Speaker 3: ever so slightly. The flood was still out of sight
Speaker 3: when the twelve of them went to bed that night and.
Speaker 9: The next morning, just fift away from my house.
Speaker 4: I mean, like when you woke up this morning and you.
Speaker 9: You know, like my father had gone to call it frock, just.
Speaker 10: Packing immediately everything by the time were partly by the
Speaker 10: time we're packing fine, moving to find this where this
Speaker 10: is stepping into the water, like.
Speaker 9: Until the water by town when we're going to the
Speaker 9: last of the house.
Speaker 3: When when you guys stepped back in that day, did
Speaker 3: you know that you never did you go back to us?
Speaker 4: Whatever? Did you guys realied that you're packing away from you?
Speaker 9: We thought this will come back.
Speaker 3: It was two weeks before Victor and his father would
Speaker 3: return to their home in their boats to find only
Speaker 3: the roof. Escorted with family for a few days, and
Speaker 3: soon moved to a different house in a different part
Speaker 3: of town, leaving all their neighbors without ever saying goodbye.
Speaker 9: Wheveryone was trying to move actually, so it was just like,
Speaker 9: we're too traumatized to have any sort of emotional goodbyes.
Speaker 9: You understanding you're moving from your house, and look across
Speaker 9: you see your best friend's family also trying to move.
Speaker 4: She's like at that point or surviver.
Speaker 3: Victor's family was born of the lucky ones. They could
Speaker 3: afford to move and find last and safety. Some other
Speaker 3: families did not have the same privilege like Victor. They
Speaker 3: left their homes when the flood came, but instead of
Speaker 3: finding homes, they were moved to displacement camps, where they
Speaker 3: stayed for the month. It took the water to receeved,
Speaker 3: and they have been doing this year after year since
Speaker 3: their first incident, because you you've spoken about it then,
Speaker 3: just like now, they like a part of.
Speaker 9: Life that the yeah, just ant happen every day.
Speaker 3: In twenty twelve, oblivious to fifteen year old More watching
Speaker 3: from his window, oblivious to Victor and his family to
Speaker 3: the old country, something was changing in Nigeria, where the
Speaker 3: rain comes in May and lives in October. Flooding a
Speaker 3: certain part of the country became a yearly occurrence. When
Speaker 3: it came, it took things, people's homes, livelihoods and security.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it took the people to what was meant to
Speaker 3: be one of disasters became a part of life. And
Speaker 3: in a place like this, where the people depend on
Speaker 3: the river, they don't have the privilege of living. The
Speaker 3: only option is to adapt. So my question now is this,
Speaker 3: what does it mean to adapt to loss? To answer
Speaker 3: this question, I took a trip to Local Jab, where
Speaker 3: Victor and his family once lived. It's May twenty twenty
Speaker 3: three and the rainy season has slowly begun to announce itself.
Speaker 3: It rained the money and I arrived in Local Jab.
Speaker 3: According to the people I spoke, so it's been raining
Speaker 3: for the past three days. The rain is late this year,
Speaker 3: but over the next couple of months it will get heavier.
Speaker 3: Soon enough, the floods will written. The people who live
Speaker 3: in here know this. Pet me your net first.
Speaker 4: My name is Ahmed Omad.
Speaker 11: I am an indigen of this.
Speaker 12: Community and the YouTube that this community called the book
Speaker 12: the community in Ancord on the.
Speaker 4: Local local governmental distance the short FLORDILM. It's a yearly chorus. Yelly,
Speaker 4: it's a comic.
Speaker 9: Sit What have you promoted?
Speaker 3: That's the voice of Ahmed Omar, a community leader in
Speaker 3: local j He's asking the question on everybody's band, can
Speaker 3: we prevent this? Within this question lies others like why
Speaker 3: is this happening now?
Speaker 4: And why has the.
Speaker 3: Flooding become such a persistent problem. The short answer is
Speaker 3: that we are seeing I have volumes of rainfall across
Speaker 3: the board in Angeria. The general consensus is that climate
Speaker 3: change is the course of this increased rainfall. This increase
Speaker 3: is most notable in the Knot, where rainfall was up
Speaker 3: by more than one hundred and fifty percent last year.
Speaker 3: Increased rainfall is bad enough by itself. Certain urban areas
Speaker 3: like Legos, the most popular city in Anigeria, have the
Speaker 3: only other gredients necessary for a flooding disaster, poor drainage
Speaker 3: and waste management systems.
Speaker 7: Legos are Land, densely populated, is one of such areas
Speaker 7: bearing the branch of the rainfall, with streets around the Dumago, Jiankara, Ujogua,
Speaker 7: among others, retaining the water for months.
Speaker 3: Then there are the communities in the south where the
Speaker 3: River Ninja empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah, I have
Speaker 3: rain for midst rise and sea levels along the coast.
Speaker 3: The resulting flood is disastrous, putting entire communities at risk
Speaker 3: of extinction. Finally, we have the East, North and central
Speaker 3: part of Nigeria. The longest rivers in the country are
Speaker 3: situated Yere. The River Nanja flows in from the northwest
Speaker 3: and the river Anyway from the northeast.
Speaker 7: The country experiences seasonal flooding along these two main rivers
Speaker 7: every year, but on a far smaller scale.
Speaker 4: It's a different story this time. Both rivers Midia in
Speaker 4: Lokoja consisted.
Speaker 2: Of the river.
Speaker 4: That's on half of the fence. I go to our
Speaker 4: house that were most collapse.
Speaker 3: During my visits to local job I walked through at
Speaker 3: Anklo where it is not immediately obvious that most of
Speaker 3: these buildings were completely underwater less than a year ago.
Speaker 3: They are a few telt his signs that gave it away.
Speaker 3: The robot remains of collapsed houses is one. Water marks
Speaker 3: on the houses that survived is another.
Speaker 4: This this is your house, your brother.
Speaker 3: I met up with Abbas, a farmer and fisherman who
Speaker 3: has lived here in a bancolo for as long as
Speaker 3: you can remember. Because his livelihood is so attached to
Speaker 3: the river, he has beauty. The house about two hundred
Speaker 3: meters away from it. We are looking over the river
Speaker 3: when I sit down with him under his shed to
Speaker 3: talk about his experience over the past ten years and
Speaker 3: now it has changed his relationship with the place it
Speaker 3: calls home. We're speaking Pidgeon English and Thenderian career O
Speaker 3: version of English.
Speaker 4: Don't talk coming again, really now, don't get the rest
Speaker 4: of mine now.
Speaker 9: Mine even this one.
Speaker 4: Not even talking about this morning. They were wolves dying.
Speaker 4: Don't talk this God.
Speaker 12: Know what you got.
Speaker 4: Their person now?
Speaker 9: I said this one.
Speaker 4: We're not even talk to you this morning like this.
Speaker 3: That God from where it sits the stones show away
Speaker 3: from the river, shows me the part of the water
Speaker 3: when it starts to overflow its bank. It starts by
Speaker 3: mapping out the area closest to the river. He points
Speaker 3: at the barring place of land where it says the
Speaker 3: church used to stand. All that's left now is the
Speaker 3: old tim start for that place.
Speaker 12: Before even that the atte this meant so the money
Speaker 12: pass they stand and then that's.
Speaker 3: There are many stories like this of ghost houses built
Speaker 3: before the flooding problem. Before where we've been sitting for
Speaker 3: our interview shows me the outline of what used to
Speaker 3: be a three bedroom house. It's unrecognizable to me as
Speaker 3: such until it points out on the ground what used
Speaker 3: to be the foundation blocks.
Speaker 12: Now you mightn't be diagnourished to.
Speaker 13: Almost Then we crossed into the places where houses still stand,
Speaker 13: including his own, although a few rooms are under construction
Speaker 13: following their collapse last year.
Speaker 3: Guides made through another one hundred meters of affected houses.
Speaker 3: In reality, every single house and this area was affected
Speaker 3: by last year's flood, including Latifers Latifer to Mosa, whose
Speaker 3: house is at least five hundred meters away from the river.
Speaker 3: According to Latifer, last year's flooding is the worst he
Speaker 3: has ever experienced, worse than the flooding of twenty twelve.
Speaker 3: When the twenty twelve flood came, l if I left
Speaker 3: at home out of fear, but the water did not
Speaker 3: actually enter the house. Last year, the flood not only
Speaker 3: displaced their family but kept them away for three weeks.
Speaker 11: And now my house, so impersoned me the water person
Speaker 11: on broad week and no house and they look, they
Speaker 11: look my house and not viewish. I go go se
Speaker 11: down for where I go, I go find another house.
Speaker 11: Now let one rule. I pushed myself and they pushed
Speaker 11: my load. Today, all my my husband and my people.
Speaker 11: They go fine.
Speaker 3: When the flood comes, it doesn't only drive families out
Speaker 3: of their homes, it also divides them. In Latin first case,
Speaker 3: all eleven members of our family found little places to
Speaker 3: squat all around the town. Meanwhile, Abubacle's wife and children
Speaker 3: were out in their primary school that costs placed as
Speaker 3: a displacement camp during during the season, while a bubaqu
Speaker 3: resort at temporary home elsewhere. No one really talks about
Speaker 3: this part of flooding, how it breaks up families. Every year,
Speaker 3: come October, the news reports statistics the number of people
Speaker 3: are affected, acres of land destroyed, and millions of dollars
Speaker 3: in property lost. And behind these statistics are the lives
Speaker 3: of people like Latifa Musa, people who are unable to
Speaker 3: get a full night's rest out of fear that the
Speaker 3: water will come for them while they sleep.
Speaker 11: If you don't, they got nobody. If you sleep, go back,
Speaker 11: you sleep smart, we go away. You gonna look at
Speaker 11: maybe this year the month so that nobody.
Speaker 9: If you wear your sleep go back.
Speaker 3: People like go back, who are in a perpetual state
Speaker 3: of the building with similar beauty.
Speaker 4: Of who don't have any.
Speaker 3: People like the many by to encountered in the displacement
Speaker 3: camp last year when you visited people for whom losing
Speaker 3: their home has become a yearly experience.
Speaker 4: So now they have so many interesting they have clicks.
Speaker 4: They have clicks.
Speaker 9: Yes in the town like it's like and this clicks,
Speaker 9: houseful food together, when they shave the look out for
Speaker 9: their own interests. And then when you talk to them
Speaker 9: you realize that these people meet this camp.
Speaker 4: Like four years ago back.
Speaker 3: So these people are now for many new communities in
Speaker 3: their temporary homes, bonded by their shared experience of loss.
Speaker 3: This is what it means when displacement becomes part of
Speaker 3: the calendar. It changes your life, not just once, but
Speaker 3: over and over again. It's been ten years since Nigeria
Speaker 3: started facing regular flooding. Places like Cookies still don't have
Speaker 3: any real infrastructure in place to mitigate the flooding or
Speaker 3: to cater for the affected people in the community I visited.
Speaker 3: Every year, a few classrooms of a school are converted
Speaker 3: into alls to house they displaced. Hundreds of people, mostly
Speaker 3: women and children, pack themselves into these classrooms and they wait.
Speaker 4: They are waiting for help.
Speaker 3: When they help comes from the government, who comes in
Speaker 3: the form of donated food, food that these people would
Speaker 3: then have to fight over a Barbacrid does and stay
Speaker 3: in the camp with his family because he can't stand
Speaker 3: that kind of shame.
Speaker 12: Two up of rice? What do you Why would you
Speaker 12: account what he wants? We won't expect they eat too
Speaker 12: four to carry the fight on top of me.
Speaker 3: You can't stand the idea of not being able to
Speaker 3: provide for his family and being reduced to fighting for
Speaker 3: some cops of rice. This is not the oppy ones,
Speaker 3: and if I've been honest, this is not the oppen needs.
Speaker 3: I met Omar, a community leader in local jam told
Speaker 3: me of an angel that just a couple of months
Speaker 3: before we spoke, went around donating building materials to people
Speaker 3: in this community.
Speaker 11: Yes, I they can to work, Saint Clement, they would
Speaker 11: want that you were happy for They give us zinc.
Speaker 9: Telepond of zinc, give us fifteen part of cement.
Speaker 4: They gave us over fifty blog of block.
Speaker 8: You give up the.
Speaker 4: That's what probably do to them. You just do your estimate.
Speaker 3: Was one of the beneficiaries of this act of kindness.
Speaker 3: When I met him, he had already used some of
Speaker 3: these materials in good in.
Speaker 12: His own givement. Give blog band good bye role your
Speaker 12: bed the guy revery.
Speaker 3: So I thought, maybe this is the up needs. Then
Speaker 3: he confessed to me that if given the chance, he
Speaker 3: would move. After living here for so long, after starting
Speaker 3: a family year, was ready to say goodbye to his own.
Speaker 3: He was ready to live somewhere he could have peace
Speaker 3: of mind. So maybe this is it. Maybe they help
Speaker 3: these people need is with relocating. I brought his hypothesis
Speaker 3: up with Ahmed and he reacted with this story. Back
Speaker 3: in twenty twelve, when the floods first came, the Nigeria
Speaker 3: government at the time had moved to relocate the affected people.
Speaker 3: An estate was built and houses were allocated to the victims.
Speaker 3: It was one of those rare moments when the government
Speaker 3: seemed to actually take action. But the people that benefited
Speaker 3: from this that we awarded these houses and pieces of land.
Speaker 4: The sued the land majority so their land a majority
Speaker 4: put it to come back to the two.
Speaker 3: Are in case shemist that Ahmed is telling me that
Speaker 3: many of the people who benefited from this game so
Speaker 3: roted out their houses and moved right back to their
Speaker 3: homes by the river, bringing us back to where we
Speaker 3: started waiting for elasting solution. Much has changed since twenty
Speaker 3: twelve when I watched the rain obliviously from my window.
Speaker 3: With every veiny season that watches by, more and more
Speaker 3: Nanjia has become vulnerable to the devastating effects of Sisna flooding.
Speaker 3: There is attension in the air every time it rains.
Speaker 3: We will do what I come forwards now or will
Speaker 3: we get on a diem. It's June, as I put
Speaker 3: the final this is of this story to get up.
Speaker 3: It's on a season.
