Natural disasters in Nigeria
There have been several forms of disasters related to climate change in Nigeria, some of which are flooding, soil and coastal erosion, landslides, tidal waves, coastal erosion, sand-storms, oil spillage, locust/insect infestations, and other man-made disasters. It can be said that the country's under-protected and expansive environment contributed to making the people especially vulnerable to these disasters. Other dangers include northern dust storms, which are usually from northern states to southern states; causing damages through large deposits of dust and dirt from these regions. Hail (Small ice pellets or sleet That is mostly translucent, e.g Snow) is another cause, which rarely occurs in some parts of Nigeria, leading to damage to crops and properties.
