I woke up this morning to the sad news of the flood in Benue State, Nigeria and this is coming days apart after the flood in Houston,U.S.A. I cannot begin to feel how helpless and scared these people are presently neither can I wish same for my enemies. This didn't happen because it was their fault.

This is best defined to me as a catastrophe created by man though it can be an act of nature. Right now I do not want to apportion blames, I just want something done for these people to make them safe and keep them from further harm

A lot of Nigerian celebrities are currently under fire because most of the are putting up the #PrayForHouston post on their instagram pages and neglecting #PrayForBenue post, some readers and fans are not taking it lightly citing that they should be more concerned about their own country. Personally, it doesn't matter to me. Houston is a part of a county as much as Benue is also a part of a country and these countries are a part of the world. Whether Nigeria or USA it doesn't matter, what matters is that the families affected get adequate help.

So if you know relief centres that you can donate to be it clothes, food supplies, toiletries and money please I urge you not to hold back. Touch somebody's life today. I am currently looking for a means to help Benue out of the little I have.
