Are Igbos the only ones building houses in Lagos? Why are you making it tribal?

You mean the same Lagos they told us one drug addict built? grin

NB. For those unfortunate fellows quoting me to yearn radarada rubbish, you were boasting here that the old monkey built all of Lagos and that all the other governors of Lagos were useless.

Which natural disaster? When you laugh everyday for common gully erosion in the east, just ordinary gully erosion and you people will be throwing parties.

Tit for tat.

Go and sit down!
same thing do happen in world class cities. personal example is Dubai.

Lagos is a coastal city. Just like other coastal cities around the world, it is prone to and bound to experience natural disaster, which is mainly occasioned by climate change.

this is just plain lack of vision or planning as well as the dirty, animalistic behaviour of Nigerians. Total lack of sense and decorum. Politician and followers alike. Imagine a landlord in almighty VGC pumping septic tank into open gutter? Is Lagos island the only coastal place in the world? 99 percent of the flooding in Lekki and environs are caused by Nigerians. How can a "big" man pour garbage into the water ways?Many mentally ill people in nigeria.

The landlords in those areas are greedy. They build mansions and can't construct a simple gutter for erosion. They are all waiting for government.

Gutter isn’t the brother bro. Cus they have good drinage around but just a natural phenomenon

If most of the expensive neighbourhoods in the island was properly planned and built by a sane government just like they did to Festac, it won't be this bad.

Asides building in water ways and blocked drainages, the ground table floor which the island was developed on is very low.

I used to tell people ,if you have money the best place to stay in Lagos are GRA Ikeja,Surulere and Festac.They are well planned unlike other parts of lagos.

And who told you they only demolished structures belonging to Igbo people? Why do you love spreading propaganda? Why can't you just face your business and tell your governor to take care of the gully erosion in Anambra state?

Lagos state is the same level with ocean or lagoon.lekki phase 1 and 2 was develop by new town development authourity. The land was sandfilled and develop into plots of land by lagos state govermment, but the engineer or the buiider didnt follow the guideline given to a land owners one of the guide lines is your foundation must be at least 1.5 metres high before u can start your building. Did they compliant with the directives no.

I thought Jagaban tamed the Atlantic?
I remember vividly well on that faithful day Jagaban spoke to the Atlantic to be still and it did. What then is happening? Igbos in war propaganda circulating old videos of flooded lagos even before Tinubu became governor.
Bitter Obidients.

This isn't the Atlantic
This is flash flood and it occurs after a rainfall.
Actually Jagaban tamed the Atlantic by building what is known as the great wall of Lagos that stopped the flooding and erosion of VI. and made possible the land claimed for the Eko Atlantic project

Take it easy with yourself. You are yet to align yourself with the reality that the elections and litigation processes are over and concluded.

Keep wailing at every opportunity!

OlujobaSamuel:

And they told you buildings on the island are not planned Or festac isn't flooded??
Seems you are not familiar with one or both places that you mentioned, btw, we are talking about flash flood, you don't have power over it, that's why it's classified as Act of God under disaster classification.
The current environmental planning abuse in festac isn't in anyway close to the abuse on the island

Have you stayed in Ikoyi, Lekki or Banana Island during rainy seasons?
If you haven't, don't boldly say crap. The entire Nigeria is poorly planned. Lagos is worse.
You won't understand until you live in Europe or US.
When it rains, these high borough areas flood all tge time, flood running through the streets.
It's laughable that now una Don dey blame nature for una stupidity and lack of foresight
