The thing with lagos state, is that waste is not properly disposed off, d landlords create a gutter that is higher than d road level; thereby making small ponds at various sections of d road. Lest not forget those food vendors that pour anything called matter onto d road. |

In Nigeria the problem isn't just lack of drainage system. It is that people block even the existing drainages with refuse |

alaoeri: You have heard, haven't you so what's the lecture about. For the people of Nigeria the thought of draining the highways is simply divine. Only angelic intervention, Solomon's wisdom, Joseph's dream interpretations, Daniel's visions and of course Jonah's aquamatics can solve Lagos's flood problems. Na wah. |

stephenduru:[size=14pt] Those who blocked all available drains, channels and waterways with bottled water containers, satchet water nylon, canned malt/ coke bottles, gala, Meety, super bite and plantain chips nylon will still blame anybody else but themselves for these floodings. I collected the waste from someone today in order to prevent her imminent throwing out on highway. That is a move I chose to make as my own little contribution to preventing this terrible habit of Nigerians. So compatriots, let us pull the logs in our individual eyes, then we can make things work for govt. Our present attitude will block any drainage system in less than 3 months.[size] |

Nonsense govt officials the turn blind eyes when d are building on drainages cos d have collected Egunje and start to complain later. |
Re: See How Lagosians Struggle To Get To Their Destinations After Heavy Rainfall by godwin120alex: 10:19pm On Oct 09, 2015 |
I agree with my pple here throwing refuge on d road and inside d gutter is very wrong and govt need to start dealing with pple dat commit dis crime of blocking d drainages.Go to areas like Idiaraba,Ijesha,Avenue in Ago place etc and see how d dump dirts into d gutters. |

And ambode is rather more interested in night clubbing, and taking selfies with yeyebrities, he was seen flexing in nite clubs |

Olaolufred:i think i may have an idea, A recycling centre ( company) were people can take their bottle, cans, paper, plastic bottles, card boards for recycling and get paid for it, which i will then export to china and others countries, what do you think? Unless there are recycling centres in nigeria. |
Re: See How Lagosians Struggle To Get To Their Destinations After Heavy Rainfall by Olaolufred(m): 9:51am On Oct 10, 2015 |
otiigba1: [size=14pt] Thanks for this. Pending d time our govt gets recycling sectors established, that gala nylon and fanta bottle can be kept in a nylon and taken home for your dust bin. My car will be cleaned in few hours. The trash of drinks can and snacks nylons will be dumped in our dust bin. I forbid anyone on my car drop trash on the street. Dropping it in danfos is even better than on the streets. Govt has its part, people have their part. [/size] |
Re: See How Lagosians Struggle To Get To Their Destinations After Heavy Rainfall by otiigba1(m): 9:58am On Oct 10, 2015 |
Olaolufred:exactly! Knowing nigerians they may not abide by the rules? Hence why a token (money) will be offered in exchange. Nigerians don't engage in any thing that does not involve them parting with money |

demandtruth:Stop being smart by half,don't compare apples and oranges. South Carolina had the largest amount of water,in a thousand years,dumped on it in three days,brought on by Hurricane Joaquine. That caused the Ashley n Cooper rivers to overflow their banks too. Tell me what river or stream in Ikeja n other areas,far from the shores of the Atlantic,that overflowed its banks?. And rains we've had so far had not been record rains. 1 Like |

Dhugal:Gbam. |

demandtruth:What happened in South Carolina is completely different. It's a case of Hurricane Joackim and God forbid something like that in Nigeria because the whole oceanic side of Nigeria will be wiped out. |

[quote author=joseph1832 post=38808051]I served in Sokoto. The traffic in Ile Epo bus stop has nothing to do with flood or heavy down pour. It has always been like that. Even now, the road is very bad. Or you want to say the same for Abule Egba bus stop?[ /quote] Definitely you have never been to Ile-epo That place is pathetic during rainy season Ask anyone who stays dere Buses get submerged @ instances Quote me a river! |

Lucasbalo: That was not Hurricane. It was heavy rainfall. The hurricane did not hit ground as at that time It was not as if the hurricane made any land fall. |
