700 displaced from Nigeria flooding

Flooding has been striking regions of Nigeria such as Lagos.  700 people from the town Ajegunle will be relocated to a relief camp.  The flooding began last month when the Ogun River rose above its banks after the opening of a dam.  When speaking with affected residents, there were discussions of them moving completely.  They are directly on a flood plain.  What we can do now is wait and hope that the water subsides soon.  I am hoping for the best for these people.
