Does this happen every year? Lady: The water doesn't rise like this normally. In your mind, what do you think caused it? Lady: In my thinking it is the oyinbo people that caused this. I would say they caused this because the water level didn't rise like this previously. Since after the civil war, we ha What help do you want from local, state or federal govt?
