agricultural products, properties, and personal belongings that were worth of billions of naira. It is responsible for accidents, congestion, hunger, food insecurity, and loss of beautifying values of the environment. Also, it causes overcrowding, spreads communicable diseases, and waterborne diseases, which has become prevalent in the area. Unfortunately, predictions indicate that climate change will influence frequent intense floods across world regions [64].

Although science has proven that there is no doubt on climate change and whether it is real or a hoax. The time is now to find out what necessary actions can be taken at the community levels for a more resilient globe, and the way forward to tackle climate events and changes. Climate change is here, and we all have to do our part to lessen its detrimental impact on our communities. We must consider options for more efficient energy, renewable energy options such as solar energy and wind power, which will contribute immensely in carbon neutralization in the atmosphere and adoption of eco-relatable friendly lifestyle that is safe for the next generation.

Consequently, the behavior changes in climate protection, as an ongoing process, need not only to give tools to let people know what to do but also to provide an enabling environment and incentives. Akili Ogidi community is already an environmental hazard, and strategies must be agreed upon and with the community members on the way forward and out of these complex-wicked flooding challenges. To check and alleviate the problems of flood occurrence in Akili Ogidi, it is critical that the Federal and state governments of Nigeria set up financial aid strategies to help rural women in recovery of farmlands after the flood disaster. Further, to alleviate the situation, there should be more funding allocated to critical agencies related to disaster management and organization that support women development to enable them perform and execute their duties optimally. Also, involving the community in local environmental management has been reported as a solution for environmental problems. Hence, researchers should employ participatory methods to encourage people to change their lifestyles.
