VampireeM: Lagos is a coastal state that lies below mean sea level..so whenever it rains,the water remains stagnant...Miami is synonymous to Lagos too but our roads are not constructed to withstand such..our roads and drainage are littered with plastics,births, cellophane bags and other wastes thereby blocking some water ways and canals. 1 Like |

Myself2: As you have pointed out, and I've also explained this in our of my posts. The opening of dam which affected, not just Isheri North was used by the dam officials to force government to release ecological funds as the old team that was there got replaced. It's artificial flood, not natural! I hope you know the level of corruption in our dear country. Now let me ask, has the Lagos Island escaped flood in any year? Your guess is as good as mine. Thanks. |

mehn this is serious..... this kind of flooding can lead to contamination of food and drinking water... I think Lagos state should take a step further to build deep underground drainage system... not all those tiny gutters 1 Like |

Best place to live in Lagos is Ikeja. I can't spend millions to build, buy or rent a house, and be battling with flood every time. It makes no sense. I feel for people selling off their houses on the mainland to go and buy house in Lekki. Drove from my place to Ikeja and back today and didn't encounter any flood. If you ask me, the mainland is still the best place to live in Lagos. 7 Likes 1 Share |

allrightsir: Don't get it wrong,well structured cities in england do get seriously flooded. Flood could be more damaging in paved high brow where water has little chance of sipping into the ground,especially in a place like lagos where the few existing drains are used for refuse dumps. It everybody's responsibility to prepare for the disastrous climate change,not just the government. That empty pure water pack that you threw away on the street carelessly will come back to haunt you 2 Likes 1 Share |

Amsterdam and some other Dutch cities are below sea level, yet they don't have flooding. They put some things in place to prevent it, it is not just about drainage anymore, lekki and V.I need a complete overhaul in flood water control - this flood thing happens every year. Proudlyngwa: 2 Likes |

Very true. During Fashola's tenure, before the rains begin we see government workers desilting the drains preparatory for the rains but not so under Ambode. All the drains from 3rd roundabout up to Cheveron has been blocked due to the ongoing construction so you can imagine the consequences. allrightsir: 1 Like |

Govt should engage universities of technology or engineering firms to fabricate motorized evacuators capable of evacuating wastes from drainage systems. In conjunction with state waste managers, flooding could be effectively checkmated. |
