NOC1:
No amount of planing can save Lagos when it comes to flooding, because it is seated below sea level. Over 50% of its land are reclaimed.

Marleek:

Where exactly did you get your points from?

1.With adequate planning, Lagos can be saved from flooding.
2.Lagos is not seated below sea level.
3.Less than 50% of its land were reclaimed.

In fact, all your points are invalid, the problem Lagos has is with the drains and public waste disposal. The drains are too shallow. Netherland is a country below sea level and they found a solution to their problem. They built a lot of water channels, canals and dykes. So if Lagos is indeed serious about tackling flooding, let them follow the Dutchs footsteps.

Attached are pictures if water tunnels in the US. Compare it with what we have in Lagos.
The difference is clear.

Gerrard59:


Singapore did same and even Hong Kong whose airport is on reclaimed land. But you cannot compare both places' governance systems to Nigeria. It's like you people don't know the country you are in.
