Hello Tosin {nairanaijanews}, [img]http://4.bp..com/-VlllpZtXwbo/Vo450wI0GwI/AAAAAAACN1I/Y8DyAiIU0zM/s1600/LE.jpg[/img] Believe it or not, this is Emma Abimbola Cole street in Lekki Phase 1 in Lagos. And no, it's not sometime in rainy July, it's the evening of 6th of January 2016.. The spot has been waterlogged throughout the harmattan and I don't know why. I'm getting pretty frustrated with it, because the road beneath the flood has degraded and is now very bad. We hear it has something to do with a leakage of pipes from the water board which is very close to the bad spot. Whatever it is, we the residents of the neighbourhood are quite frustrated with it, it's been so since I moved here almost two years now. [img]http://2.bp..com/-jUaFpvQWig4/Vo46AiLOLGI/AAAAAAACN1Q/Rh9uH8jPlN4/s400/LE2.jpg[/img] Please, publish this and shame the right authority into doing their job (it's a shame that that is the tactic tax-paying citizens have to resort to for basic amenities in Nigeria). I'd be truly grateful if you do. Thanks From a frustrated resident of Lekki Phase 1 [img]http://4.bp..com/-Xpyr3JzizbM/Vo46DbZS5eI/AAAAAAACN1o/6OhL1RIvwT4/s400/LE5.jpg[/img] [img]http://1.bp..com/-go9XkZQlWGY/Vo46EFIumtI/AAAAAAACN1w/SyYZ4QPL-sQ/s400/LE6.jpg[/img] E gbo, Lekki residents how far?

oatzeal: Just take these pictures of your street and forward it to Channel TV News with all the relevant details. That was what some residents did, when there was no solution to the case of Freedom Way leading into Lekki Phase 1, at the 3rd roundabout. For over 4 years that road was an eyesore and a cesspit. After the news was aired on Channels TV last year, Ambode swung into action and ordered that it should be fixed. Now, work has progressed on that road even though it is yet to be completed. The state govt collects Land Use Charge without fail, from all the residents/landlords in that estate every year. Why is it so difficult to fix such simple things like roads, in that same area? 14 Likes 1 Share |

Stop this.. It's blocked drainage jor. I live around there. That's a completely isolated incident in dry season.. Although I do admit there's a flooding problem INLAND of lekki. because the civil engineers who developed the place were not conscious of the actual water level while building. If you check out the roads right beside the water where adequate level was taken, they never ever get flooded for more than 3 hours after rain. Even those few hours are just caused by a few bottlenecks in the drainage. Blame it on the engineers.. 3 Likes |

This may have something to do with the the continued rise in Sea level.Several other parts of Lekki are experiencing something similar. If nature sustains the current rate of rise in Sea level over 50% of Lekki and Victoria Island mayb submereged in the next 20yrs -30yrs. Successive Lagos state governments may spend large resources battling this ecological change. 1 Like 1 Share |
