Unquestionably, the nation is currently experiencing one of its worst flooding events in years. Several states in the nation have been devastated by severe flooding, which has rendered many people homeless, damaged farms, and rendered highways impassable.
Kogi, Anambra, Rivers, Benue, Yobe, Delta, Cross River, and Bayelsa are a some of the most severely impacted states.
The farmer, who is from Bayelsa state, used Twitter to share the condition of his poultry farm after floodwaters nearly killed all of his birds and drowned it.
In the video the troubled farmer shared on the micro-blogging platform, hundreds of chickens were seen lying on the floor, dead.
Sharing the video, he revealed the incident has left him totally depressed.
The farmer, who revealed he has lost over three thousand birds, put the remaining live birds up for sale at a paltry price of 500 naira.
“This is my farm in Bayelsa State. The state has been cut off. No way to bring in feeds, nor medics. We are fighting both flood and birdflu at the same time. As at yesterday, I lost 3, 897 birds. My heart is failing me. Totally depressed”, he wrote.
