Six people have been reportedly swept off by erosion in Fatoki area of Orile Agege, Lagos.

The victims were in two separate vehicles when the incident happened.

Three persons were in each vehicle when flood water overflowed an uncompleted drainage and submerged their vehicles.
It was learned that residents in the community reportedly warned the victims to desist from driving through the road, but they were adamant and continued till their vehicles were submerged in the flood.
According to residents at the scene, one of the occupants of the Lexus jeep swam out of the vehicle while residents helped the other two people out.

They also helped officials of the Lagos State Fire Service at the scene to rescue the fourth person

However, one of the occupants of the Toyota car swam out and was rescued, while the second occupant who tried to swim and the third who refused to come out of the car went missing.

The Southwest Coordinator NEMA, Ibrahim Farinloye, confirmed that four of the victims have been rescued, while two are still missing.
Search-and-rescue operations are ongoing in search of the other two people.”

Lagos state government must open up canals and more system to disperse water, irrigations to woodee areas, building reservoirs etc. Although due to global warming, flooding happens in cities worldwide, Europe, USA, Asia, close to water, because of rising sea levels etc, people must take caution.

Nigerian case is spectacularly peculiar and funny.
Reason is many areas around that Lagos used to be canal when I was a kid and even at my teenage age then...bad as it is,the entire area has been built up including the old canal that we used to know in those days.
It became bad under the administration of three known governors in that Lagos...the area I grew up in,had been stretched such that they remain unrecognisable till this very day.

And some babies that don't even know the history of Lagos would be shouting people down as if Lagos is the only city on earth.

Many of them should at least travel and see why drainage is good for any city.

Lagos matter is a different thing.
After all,it's not an island like Bonny Kingdom and water isn't coming from the sea to peoples corridor.
Go to Okota and ilasamaja area...and see what I am saying. In fact,it is canal that divided these two areas but go there now...those canals have been built up,hence the new normal now.

Terrible!

Floods happen everywhere, especially uf the city is sorrounded by water like Lagos. It's not rocket science.

The local problem is a major factor here...if the sea starts rising, I bet u no house would be spared in Lekki area because those areas were green-cum water fronts areas Marssland) before it was built upon.

If u don't solve the local factors,u can't take care of the larger problem which may likely arise from the global problem.
