Nigeria and its bad dams

Nigeria suffers great tradgedy as a dam collapsed in Northwest Nigeria.

Apperently 40 people ghave died and about 500 homes have been washed away.

The head of state claimes that the collapse was due to a build up on sediment in the dam outlets that increase pressure. Nearly 1000 wells have also been contaminated by this.

This leaves Nigeria with its not so large population devastated in a sense as good drinking water is now contaminated and many of their homes have been demolited due to the flooding. Maybe there is an issue with the Nigerian government's ability to regulate and take care of its resources.
