Last year and this year have been terrible wrt to floods worldwide. This is going to require long-term shifts in how we plan and build. |

Looks rather bad. Need strategies to combat this. Proffer an example of Netherlands where a complicated maze of drainage ditches, canals and pumping stations are used. 1 Like |

Re: Heavy Rain Floods Parts Of Lagos by Nobody: 12:31am On Jul 11, 2011 |
Yes the downpour was really bad. My sister was telling me earlier today on phone that the rain caused the rear concrete fence in our parent's house to collapse. ![]() |
Re: Heavy Rain Floods Parts Of Lagos by aloyemeka1: 12:33am On Jul 11, 2011 |
alj_harem: What has ACN got to do with natural disaster? |
Re: Heavy Rain Floods Parts Of Lagos by tpia5: 12:37am On Jul 11, 2011 |
some of these places need to be evacuated because they're flood zones. people shouldnt be living there, really. there ought to be fewer houses, and those few, built on raised platforms so the water can pass underneath them? ![]() |

Re: Heavy Rain Floods Parts Of Lagos by Musiwa42: 12:42am On Jul 11, 2011 |
it tell you, the level of government . and why I dont like bola tinubu. You see, there is an engineering standard for constructing road, and nigeria dont construct road well. Even Julius berger does not know how to construct road. Look take example if I ask the lagos state government for contract. they will not give you, expect you know someone and all that. that is the way, their system works. but their are standard to building road. |
Re: Heavy Rain Floods Parts Of Lagos by aljharem3: 12:44am On Jul 11, 2011 |
aloy/emeka: nah, i don't think it is a natural disaster at all it just shows lack of house planning in lagos and nigeria most of this natural water ways have been blocked by houses and thus restrict the flow of water fashola needs to look into this or else this would keep happening year after year |

alj_harem: LMAO!!!!!! You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me. Hehehe, oh gosh. So so funny. Musiwa,.: BTW, does anyone still believe this doofus is Yoruba? Just asking. |
Re: Heavy Rain Floods Parts Of Lagos by Musiwa42: 12:49am On Jul 11, 2011 |
tpia that is not the solution to the problem. building house like that is not the solution |
Re: Heavy Rain Floods Parts Of Lagos by 190: 1:00am On Jul 11, 2011 |
Environmental planning is seriously needed in LAGOS yet they would never consider that, all they bother bout is building trains look @ the lack of planning in thoes flooded areas soon its tsunami they would witness not just floods ![]() |

If The Netherlands can prevent flooding within its territories for centuries, why cannot Nigeria do this? |
Re: Heavy Rain Floods Parts Of Lagos by aloyemeka1: 1:25am On Jul 11, 2011 |
EzeUche: WE don't have the resources they have besides this is natural disaster and it happened in the US a month or two ago. |
