This master piece is introspection into events of the devastating flood of 2012 and 2020 in Nigeria and the causes and effect of such delirious catastrophe and lessons for the future. At the beginning of July 2012 and also in 2020, Nigeria witnessed a traumatizing and unfathomable flood which engulfed a greater part of the country, with untold and devastating human, material and economic losses. Rightly termed "The Deluge" of our time, this nostalgic event not only threatened the geographical purviews of the affected communities, but also their traumatizing effects were as horrible as they were terrifying. What were the proximal and distal causes of the flood? How have the areas, especially the worst hit communities been able to cope after this event? How has this impacted their social economic activities and what has been the role and response of the government in mitigating this approbrious diaster from recurring. These are some of the questions I set out to have X-rayed in this Magnum opus. you will find among the pages of this book, veracious analysis navigating the betwixt and between of facts to appreciate this historical deluge, and a wealth of knowledge for both academic consumption and policy decisions.
