        Someone should tell me why it isn't possible for this affected house to pause the DSTV subscription till the flood issue is sorted out.😠

        We asked for water the size of River Roe and are battered to death with floods. You ask for one fish and whale sharks are set free to rip you apart. Is it nature's show of love to death ?

        More than 200 people have been killed in Nigeria?Yet you see blanket coverage of the floods in the US where only 5 people were killed-this is absurd!
