People from Ekwulobia community fear their homes will wash away. Heavy rains made the erosion problem worse. Families must leave their houses and farms. The damage spreads across nine villages. Local leaders want help from the federal government and United Nations groups.
Dr Okwundili Ezike lives in Washington DC and works as a lawyer and health expert. He brought reporters to see the erosion damage. Ezike says the state government cannot fix this problem alone. He wants international groups like the Food Agriculture Organisation to help. The doctor warns that diseases from damaged areas can spread around the world quickly.
Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo asked President Bola Tinubu for help last month. Tinubu promised to do something about the erosion. Soludo said his state keeps getting smaller because erosion eats away the land. Anambra ranks as the second smallest state but faces the biggest erosion problems. Federal agencies need to work with world organizations that have money and skills to stop this disaster.
