alj_harem: Of course, you know I enjoy exposing your ignorance and dumbness. Most of the places you listed like the Death Valley which is the lowest point in California is in the desert, they don't even get any rain, infact, the whole place evaporates water. Btw, I've visited the place several times including indio, imperial valley, el centro and salton. Indio is in the desert after palm springs Salton is also in the desert Imperial valley is a farming community in central California and they survive with water aqueducts from the Colorado These are dry areas and they hardly get any rain talk less flodding. You and the other ignorant poster failed to assimilate the below sea level context. http://wapedia.mobi/en/Badwater_Basin |

ronkebp:this statement depicts ignorance.why were they elected in the first place?isnt it to correct the errors? Fashola is doing an excellent job.To me he is the best ever governor to rule lagos state beside jakande but this drainage can make pple loose thier lives and properties worth billions.im a witness to all these.didnt u see cars and a whole ground floor apartment in a lekki residence overtaken by the flood? pls put ur self in pples shoes |

This is so sad I really pity people who lost their property and even loved ones in this flooding. I also symphatise with the Lagos state Government because this is going cost them a lot. I think proper drainage should be focus on now to avert the reoccurence of this flooding. So sad indeed. |

Yes, drainage issues, and transportation(de-congestion especially) are the most important or should be topmost priority in Lagos. Tinubu missed the opportunity to tackle just one at least in his 8-12 years of sitting as governor of this state, and if Fashola ends up not completely tackling the drainage problem, then it is likely that 8 years from now, we will still be talking of this issue. Only that by then, we will probably looking for ways to move the whole state as the sea level would have risen to point of no return. |

I'm not surprised because its natural, lagos sits at the mouth of the ogun river and many other smaller tributaries. Lagos also sits on a delta and many parts of lagos is below or just above sea level. Flooding has been going on in the area even before the Portuguese arrived. So to blame it on tinubu and/or fashola is just childish. Isn' it the people who built their homes in flood prone areas during the population boom. Common drains will not fix the flooding lagos has, you'll need a massive engineering feat, constructing flood tunnels, Pump systems and underground silos. All this in an integrated drainage master plan But the reason why fashion and other governors of lagos haven't done this is because of the cost. Lagos doesn't have the money to build what I wrote above ( ex. $ 10 Billion). Here is an example of part Tokyo's drainage system, Do you think Lagos has enough cash to build modern drainage systems like this all over the state.

Kobojunkie: well said kobo Wallie: no sir flash floods are caused when the water does not have any where to go and thus move from a region of high gradient to a region of low gradient. this occurs mostly on clay soils because the soil is compact and does not absorb water that fast unlake other type of soil lagos on the other hand is most sandy and humus soil because of its close proximity to the shore, nature always move from to a region of high entropy, thus if rain falls in lagos, it is natural for the water to move down stream (provided there is a good drainage) if the amount of rain per unite area per time is high, provide there is a good drainage, we would not experience flooding because apart from the drainage, we have a sandy, humus soil in lagos the only way lagos can be flooded is if the lagoon over flood it's banks which is very unliklly because it is connected to the ocean and the amount of water lagos/ogun can hold will be insignificant to the amount of water in the ocean thus the flood is caused by no proper drainage. |

alj_harem: Like I said, you are a lair. I still need you to prove to us that Fashoa is not building roads in Lagos. |
Re: Lagos Flood. Fashola &tinubu Failed In Fixing Drainage Prbls In Lagos In 12years by aljharem3: 6:45pm On Jun 17, 2011 |
GAR3TH: wrong, because that is the more reason it should not be flooded |
Re: Lagos Flood. Fashola &tinubu Failed In Fixing Drainage Prbls In Lagos In 12years by hercules07: 6:46pm On Jun 17, 2011 |
Victoria Island is the worst hit when it comes to flooding, it is partly due to bad drainage system, blocked drainages, people building on the drainages and the sea level issue, Lagos Island is well drained, the Central Business district is very very well drained, most of the mainland is also well drained though we have a lot of blocked drainages. The Fashola goverment needs to demolish a lot of houses and should work on the drainages, Lagosians need to stop blocking drainages, they need to stop throwing rubbish in the drainage system, we also need our drainages to be fully covered. |
Re: Lagos Flood. Fashola &tinubu Failed In Fixing Drainage Prbls In Lagos In 12years by EkoIle1: 6:46pm On Jun 17, 2011 |
satani22: Instead of your fake outrage, shouldn't you be advising Lagosians to start respecting the drainage system? Every household and street is blessed with one outside. |

Kobojunkie: Nice one madam.u hit the nail on the head.i will not come up here to post poo just for fun's sake.Tinubu didnt perform to expectation. Fashola is trying to rebuild Lagos from the scratch.The work should have been easier if Tinubu had done half of what Fashola did in 4years in the 8yrs Bola Tinubu spent in Power. |

to all you dump heads if USA culd be experiencing this flood issues what is Lagos beside USA for once let us applaud our able governor he has greatly wat other governors culdn't achieve , and if look all those morums tat are talking go to their state and c the state of roads in there. God punish Bad pple them, Gov Fashola |
Re: Lagos Flood. Fashola &tinubu Failed In Fixing Drainage Prbls In Lagos In 12years by hercules07: 6:56pm On Jun 17, 2011 |
Fashola is fixing the drainages, if Lagosians were not dirty people, most of the drainages will not be blocked. I can see that most of the major road constructions that are being done do have good drainages. |

Eko Ile:guy im trying to control my temper so as not to go down to ur reasoning level to start arguing or picking an e-fight over faceless forum yet u are posting poo the more.if u had eyes and read the op,i made it clear that part of the problem is from the pple but the larger share goes to the state that has all the arsenal to control and address the issues at hand. if arent seeing beyond ur fanaticism,it would be better u steer clear quoting my post |

Re: Lagos Flood. Fashola &tinubu Failed In Fixing Drainage Prbls In Lagos In 12years by BabaO2: 7:11pm On Jun 17, 2011 |
Fashola and Tinubu should drink or mop the water or what? i dont understand. If people are foolish enough to go and arrange blocks on the course of drainage or below water level or in a swampy land mere because there was no water during dry season is the reason why they are stupid. Most of the comments here are malicious. |

Re: Lagos Flood. Fashola &tinubu Failed In Fixing Drainage Prbls In Lagos In 12years by kq(m): 7:15pm On Jun 17, 2011 |
Guys(Eko Ile, alj harem) please lets make this discussion as interesting and intellctual as possible lets stop all this sentimental insults we are hurling at ourselves. Whether the government is doing anything or not we are all agreed that Lagos is prone to flooding not just because of drainage but because of the states topography and environment. Like it was mentioned it is not an easy feat even in engineering terms to solve the problem, because of the nature of the terrain coupled with the heavy rainfall, Lagos will likely still witness flooding even with all the engineering designs in place. Instead of bashing or praising the government lets not forget that development is a continuous process and does not have a stopping point. because as you are solving one problem another problem rears its ugly head. "there is chaos in order and order in chaos" @gare3th ekt_bear and satani22 thank you for your discussions so far. @ evryone Eko o ni ba je, o ba je ti |

Re: Lagos Flood. Fashola &tinubu Failed In Fixing Drainage Prbls In Lagos In 12years by EkoIle1: 7:18pm On Jun 17, 2011 |
satani22: The government's job is to provide drainage/gutter which is located in front of nearly all the houses in Lagos state, it is the people's responsibility to make the drainage system doesn't turn into refuse dump. The state is not dumping trash into the drainage, people are I remember during the governor debate, Fashola and Mr Randle spared because Mr Randle obstructed the drainage he built his house on the drainage system and the state marked it for demolition. Saying the state is not doing anything about the drainage system in Lagos state is a reflection of your ignorance and lack of any knowledge about the state of Lagos. So far, the only poo I see is the one flowing out of your mouth. Like they say, Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country |

Re: Lagos Flood. Fashola &tinubu Failed In Fixing Drainage Prbls In Lagos In 12years by Sicherheit(m): 7:24pm On Jun 17, 2011 |
Have you asked yourself why the drainages are used as garbage dump? Maybe if the govt provided a good refuse pick up system, people would be less inclined to put their trash in the drainages. |

Re: Lagos Flood. Fashola &tinubu Failed In Fixing Drainage Prbls In Lagos In 12years by ektbear: 7:26pm On Jun 17, 2011 |
Sicherheit: Very silly response. Is it the government's job to provide refuse pickup? Surely there is a private firm you can pay to pick up your trash even if the government doesn't provide it. Granted, government should do it. But even if it doesn't, nobody has to tell even an animal not to sh1t where it sleeps and eats. |
