Flood in Lagos Nigeria ,the harsh reality of Lagos island 🇳🇬

[@LandPropertyNG]

I can tell you put a lot of effort into this. It really shows!

[@SuriGoma-j6g]

This is aweful! To the people saying “every island floods”, okay sure, but I’m sure the governments in those other islands have systems in place to support people when it does. What does Nigeria have?? My heart is with my people 🤍

[@PhillitusMashamaite]

I wish those waters could have been in Botswana,in Botswana there hasn't been rain for years.

[@Priscaoriade]

Oh wow,you mean no rain In Botswana 🇧🇼 for years

[@akinjoaquim1013]

New comers and those who really do not know Lagos get easily sued by the over-hyping of Lekki peninsula, called “island”, so often against good advice, unfortunately at cut-throat rents and comparative high living expense rent and lifestyle. Sadly, a year after, most find solace ( because of the perennial annual flood, traffic gridlock and cost of living) in nearby Ikoyi, V.I. (If they afford it) or the Mainland (Ikeja - the GRA/Opebi/Oregun/Alausa/Ogba axis, Magodo, Gbagada, Ogudu GRA, Ilupeju, Omole Estates, Maryland, Surulere, Yaba/Ebute Metta/ OPIC/Isheri North, Akoka and Isolo)

APC foot soldier with your daft and insensitive comment of every island floods.Atleast the government needs to do something about the flood to protect its citizens.in Your myopic brain corruption is the best thing

[@oriadearebun7497]

This is serious, l know the federal government will do something about it. Thanks for bringing this challenge known to the government. Let them take action immediately .Thank you 💖

[@therealgirl83]

[@OlaO-v9g]

@@therealgirl83You took the words right out of my mouth!!!!!!!!!

[@oriadearebun7497]

The government of Nigeria of course, the awareness has been created and the government are suppose to do the needful. Let hope for the better, who knows, if this video can change the situation. Thank you

[@StevenBlack-r6l]

omo!!....I don't think I can stay in this their island, like wtf!! 😅😅 sorry bout this experience prisca, I know Abuja will never be like this

[@Priscaoriade]

Abuja is not o 😩it a well planned city

[@suntanglory]

Welcome to lagos the city below sea level.😅lnstead of buying out old bungalows and duplexes and go high-rise lagos state government and developers are busy sand filling lakes and water channels. Their ignorance has no limit! As soon as it dries,they immediately forget about it,life continues until it rains again.Thank.

[@Priscaoriade]

@@suntanglory 😭 it is a serious problem

[@chincherri]

I don't think lagos state government sandfills canals,I think its wicked individuals bcos they demolish such from time to time..I unfortunately think anything can be done..my family home hardly floods in our part of mainland

[@Priscaoriade]

@@chincherri that why I move to the mainland

[@marymo464]

When building people should realise Lagos is a water State, gutter ways should be available for the flow of waters in a collection point and dispatch onwards. Most landlords builds and forget the space for other services “claiming it as their Land” and post cases build close to the roads or set shops there. I guess if Lagos state should demolish more houses, 20% of them were illegal built irrespective of building standards.

[@Priscaoriade]

@@marymo464 Uhmm right

[@teazerfemi]

😊I don't know why they often refer to lekki peninsula as Lagos island, I thank God for my secondary school teachers back then

[@Priscaoriade]

lol I thought Lagos is divided into mainland and island And where does lekki peninsula fall under ,Manland or island pls educate me am ready to learn?

[@denniskcobi3470]

But lagos is developed like south Korea and only developed place in Nigeria why this , this is not a nature reactions but man made mistakes and poor planning and undeveloped

[@Priscaoriade]

Let say every country has their flaws

[@BigBoss-mz2dv]

The. Nigerians laws makers undermined. and , neglected construction projects in creating water levy. . They totally abandoned these problems. that. now. affected the entire. community and residents . Know futures strategically plans made before this weather disasters .. Employed. good. experienced construction. civil engineering projects. Management to. tackles this project .

[@Priscaoriade]

😭it so sad

[@fatimaahmed7249]

People who are complaining about Lagos floods tend to forget that, Lagos IS an Island sorrounded by water, with sand-filled area scattered all over the Mainland and V.Island....And Water, WILL alwsys claim what belongs to it......

[@rotimikayode1072]

Actually the floods is not everywherein the Island and it doesn't stay for more than four hours after the rain has stopped.

[@obinjaolujinmioyediran5166]

This is not Lagos Island but Victoria Island and Lekki Peninsula. Don't confuse people.

[@Priscaoriade]

Lol Lagos is divided into Lagos island and Lagos Mainland where does Victoria island and Lekki Peninsula fall into the mainland or island pls educate me am ready to learn?

[@abiodunbalogun3292]

​@@Priscaoriade 😊 He's correct according to the administrative division of Lagos. But at the moment both V.I and Lekki have been grouped as an island. Lagos has five administrative divisions called IBILE which is an abbreviation that stands for I=Ikeja, B=Badagry, I=Ikorodu, Lagos Island and Epe and also there are other local governments and local council in all of the divisions mentioned. Furthermore, we hope the state governments can put more effort in creating more underground drainage systems because Lagos as a city is below sea level, which simply means there would always be flooding.

[@Lagostour]

This is serious

[@SolomonElasimen]

Flood go sweep na off one day

[@Priscaoriade]

@@SolomonElasimen 😂you are not nice😩😒

[@Africatourtravel]

I’m not in support of this but every island in the world is prone to flood ,even Maldives experience flood so it normal ,dubia also ……..I hope the government do something about it regardless

[@suntanglory]

Stop using other places to justified a failure.l have been to cairo,a little rain causes flash flood.But that's because these countries including UAE/dubai don't build their infrastructure for rainy season, they hardly experience rainfall.But lagos is in the rainforest,have you forgotten, because there is hardly any forest around.The most important infrastructure Southern Nigeria should be building is how to control rainfall e.g lakes,drainage,clean environment,town planning etc.

[@Africatourtravel]

@@suntanglory I don’t have time to argue with you go and do your research every island in the world experience flood why should Lagos own be a big deal ?

[@suntanglory]

@@Africatourtravel No, l don't think you do,just out there saying pointless things.The leaders should be heard accountable not defending ignorance,it only amounts to more ignorance.People die of gun shot everyday in some countries,should we then go out killing people because it happens in other countries too?

This is so stupid of you say 😢immediately I saw tinubu as ur dp I know something is wrong with ur brain

[@kuburaalawiye1732]

I told you in my comment before that don’t let people mislead you, you supposed to check out both islands and mainland before you decide where you want to live or buy a property, you don’t need to rush, you see what happens. I want to live in lekki or I want to live in Aja. Good luck to you

[@Priscaoriade]

@@kuburaalawiye1732 you did😭😭 I’m was listening to friends that have been here for years 😩

[@estherewetuga8245]

O ga oo

[@czogg99]

You flood because the rain water had no access way, they should have built underground tunnels to channel rain water to the ocean ,

[@SolomonElasimen]

Na wan stay island na

[@Priscaoriade]

😒

[@nsejacob]

Lagosians need to become more responsible. The gutters have been filled up with garbage. Families needs to learn how to declog the gutters in front of their houses. Everything not about government

[@Priscaoriade]

@@nsejacob Uhmm true

[@abiodunbalogun3292]

I agree with you, and also we don't even need open gutters anymore, this is 2024, I hope the state governments can do proper underground drainage which wouldn't allow people pouring garbage and at the end of the day blocked the water flows.

[@KIRSTYVALENTYN]

Where are the town council in Nigeria democracy. Millions are unemployed and there are a lot of ways to hire laborers that Nigeria is full off. Instead of greed get organized and move this country forward. Anytime in Nigeria we have to hire a lot of labors to do our neighborhood no street because it's nothing but sands no gutters this is Adeba next to the Lakowe golf course, you know they use to collect about $100,000.00 a day for a lot of years and that express highway wasn't maintained. What are you doing with the gas tax, that's the money to fix the road. Men am not satisfied with the state of the nation in 2024 because the system is not organized and focused.
