Ehyaa...I sincerely wish the government would do something quickly about this rather than leaving them to suffer on their own

baralatie:

nothing govt can do!
it is called ocean surge!

What about relief for the affected, temporary accommodation and maybe some compensation for lost items?

the whole lekki peninsula is not under Lagos direct ownership as compared to Ikeja,surulere,Victoria island.the properly owners are basically on their own!

It's stupidity that does not make the LG or SG know that they need to put up high tide barriers along the coastline or wave breakers further out.

In these modern times, most coastal ccommunities the world over a battling the same problem of water encroachment but they are putting up better barriers but in my Nigeria we fold our arms till it happens again and then complaints come in

MrCuddles:


Year after year residents in this environment cry to the Government for help but it keeps occurring. All the businesses on the beach are now under water and are currently unemployed.

baralatie:

not as straight forward as you think.
how many kilometres of coastline do you think is from lekki to jakande and connect to eti osa.
and now price the cost of piling works to protect in terms of $ per km

sweetgala:


Compare that to the value of property damaged, multiply it by 10 for the effect over the next decade. Now do you get the big picture.

The great wa of China was not built as a monument but a necesity, same for the walls encircling large cities in northern Nigeria, when there is a need you do what is needed

The tides have risen..Those Banana Island people should be on the lookout with the incessant rain lately

MrCuddles:
Residents and villagers of Alpha Beach area of Lekki are currently battling flood. This is a yearly reoccurance and this years is the worst it has been. Houses are being submerged in water, people are made homeless and cars are stranded.

Year after year residents in this environment cry to the Government for help but it keeps occurring. All the businesses on the beach are now under water and are currently unemployed. A country as strong as Nigeria yet we cannot handle the annual flood crisis. Billions of dollars are spent on the Eko Atlantic City all in the name of a Mega City or is it luxurious living yet the poor are suffering.

I hope the office oqf the Governor of Lagos sees this or better still The President sees this. This is not change, nothing has changed, we need change, we want change.
