Let me show the flood that befell Lagos, Lagos after the heavy rain fall.
The flood is as a result of the torrential rain all over Lagos.

Clean water indeed but how do people go about boosting that Lekki is the best place in Lagos? When it’s senior Ajegunle😢

[@nosaoyemade9618]

No drainage or poor drainage, the water has no exit back into the ocean. I pray there’s no tsunami in Lagos.

Its not only to lay crude oil pipes to from portharcourt to kaduna and lagos. Nigeria should lay pipes to move water from Lagos to Enugu. Enugu needs this water.

[@seasonedsofisticate1901]

Is the government looking into a drain/sewer system so that the water has somewhere to drain?

[@kliyn3703]

It's so unfortunate.This could happen partly because of a poor drainage system and laxity on the part of the area management.l am also certain that some people like most places in Nigeria,do throw in debris in the drainage thereby blocking the passage when it rains.We have long months of rainfalls every year and precautionary measures should have been put in place.I also hear these are rich neighbourhoods.Ain't fair to invest so much money to then find oneself in such a mess.

[@ashiasumbai5147]

You are right bro 👌👌

[@TheBee444]

Great drainage system is in place in Lagos, but due to the high level tides and rivers overflowing, there’s a pushback of water from these rivers. There’s little to be done really. 80% of houses are built on waterlogged lands. Lagos is water. Gotta start allowing these waters to start going through the oceans and nearby states.

[@oneserosanigbiaye5870]

this what i have been saying since but ignorant folks will say let govt demolish mor houses

[@okesegun2118]

Yeah!!!! But people are not cognizant of the fact that once the rain stops, the flood will find its way out. However, when the roads are flooded, people are ready to make inflammatory comments like "The Lagos that Tinubu built"😆😆😆, unaware that the floods will subside as the rain stops.

[@fataikuteyi3779]

The federal government/ Lagos State needs to build the Sea wall like Eko Atlantic in Lekki to stop flooding.

That's the problem. The seawall stops the water from flowing downwards into the sea.

[@handsonlabssoftwareacademy594]

Most of the floods are as the result of inadequate drainage systems. Some parts of Lagos mainland is the best to have a house without the issue of floods during the raining season.

[@FreddyPateki]

It is not mainly inadequate drainage system but the fact the citizens, estate developers and Govt didn't do the right thing uniformly when constructing buildings in a part of the city, the Island that's below sea level. Many don't even build gutters at all, they don't sandfill the land to the required level before foundation is laid etc What else do you now expect when it rains heavily? Nigerians just need to get more serious with the environment cos we abuse it too much

Meh..... I saw your provocative comments that lagos would soon sink on another video. I replied to your comments from a particular KZbin channel but my comment was hidden. 😂😂😂 Don't be gullibly indoctrinated by what you hear in the media, cuz it was prognosticated that Manhattan NYC would sink, but it hasn't happened. How wondered if it was your blasted wish that Lagos would sink soon. Refrain from your malevolent mind about Lagos cuz this is a global concern.

@@okesegun2118you are now comparing Lekki with Manhattan, total delusion to say the least, Nigeria can even be compared to North or Southern African countries. Your criminal politicians are their stealing your infrastructure resources and your are comparing a country that can’t even feed its own citizens with USA. I am not saying you are wrong but that comparison is daft if you have ever been to Manhattan.

[@ivybannerman-wood453]

Please, I am just asking: Is Lagos on the globe? If Lagos is on the globe and the globe is sinking, then it is true, Lagos is sinking. Or you don't want any commentary about Lagos.

@@ivybannerman-wood453 I want to believe this comments is for me even though you didn't tag me. Clearly you didn't comprehend my comment. Lagos is undoubtedly below sea level but prognosticating that it would happened sooner is incredibly hypocritical. This isn't the first time it has been said that lagos would sink. 23 years ago, many predicted that lagos would sink and would be no more, but that didn't happen. The guy was just being bent on negativity about lagos, wishing that the city would sink sooner. Apparently, he is from the South East.

​@@okesegun2118I attach no tribalism to the content, one I am not Nigeria, two if the blogger is from SE, what will he achieve by spreading doom? And if flooding is a global phenomenon, it is not only Lagos that will sink. There is a need to address this global issue, but it must start local level and it is good to raise local awareness. That's my view, I don't believe it's tribalism, but I respect your view, since you have more local knowledge than I do.

Lekki is the Yoruba word for Lake…. Go figure. Lagos houses 12% of Nigeria’s population but the other states aren’t doing anything! Nigeria needs more “Lagos-type” cities. If the US only had NY it will be in a bad state. You can’t have about 10,000 people move into Lagos daily and expect the infrastructure to sustain it especially with the type of governance at the center. Most Nigerian youths dream of living in Lagos and never hold their state governors accountable.

[@olabisiowoyemi7544]

People have built houses on drainage channels, many do not give room for Government / canal setbacks. Lots of Govt drainage / canal infrastructures have been vandalized by vandals, environmental infractions i.e. improper disposal of waste such as dumping of refuse or waste in gutters or drainages during rainfall, waste generated and dumped on the road & gutters as a result of street tradings etc results into flooding of this nature. Lagos no doubt is a coastal city with aquatic splendour but our estate developers needs to do the needful. They should at all times obey the environmental rules and laws while building their estates. They should obtain building permits before embarking on building and obey the terms given to them on such permits. They should also do background check on lands they intend to build on and obtain drainage permit. There is also need to conduct Environmental impact assessment & soil tests on the lands they intend to build in. Above all, Govt should intensify efforts on enlightenment and advocacy. People need to be educated on all forms of environmental infractions. While Government itself should desist from and discourage Land reclamation. Water bodies should remain as water bodies and Land as Land.

A rich man living in a poor infrastructure country is still a poor man, including African richest man, this shows that building sustainable cities go beyond aesthetic of paved roads and over inflated houses. The flooded water is clear and might have come from the ocean, this is the so called Lekki hence I am looking at Namibia and Botswana with well plan western infrastructures.
