This is inside a home in VGC, Lagos after 2 days of
heavy rainfall. The LIB reader who sent in the photos,
wrote;
"I am a grieved resident of Road 12 at Victoria Garden
City. We have been having flooding issues for over 5
years now.
It keeps getting worse each year and after several
complaints the estate management are still turning deaf
ears on us. On Saturday June 20th, we experienced the
worst. The entire first floor of my house has been
wrecked. Please post the attached pictures to appeal to
the estate management to sort out the drainage issues,
especially on
road 12. Its a shame for someone to say they live in
VGC and yet be going through this." See more photos

Water dey him own, Una no let am be.. Una go sand fill swamp area come build houses call am VGC.. Now na water season, rain dey fail like no man business, ocean/lagoon level done rise, water done return to where him been dey before only to see houses..

Wetin poor water go do dan to enter the houses relax?


Ikoyi, Dolphin Estate roads.. Screwed up also..

Mr. Man tell your father to sell the house to another Island wannabe (during dry season, of course, lol) and use the proceeds to buy a decent house in Surulere or Ikeja.

if this is not the section for this pls let the mods move it to its right place. so sorry for any inconvenience

Lekki, Ajah is messed up with massive flood! Just wondering why they cant channel the Drainage straight to the Lagoon which is just a stone throw behind VGC? The estate management should save Residents from this embarrassing situation. VGC of all places should be the last to experience this ugly situation with all the paparazzi in there!!!

VGC

OP na all d water wey u splash people with your Big Jeep dey follow you. You better repent and ask for forgiveness seeing as the water don follow u dey come house . Stop splashing water on people.

The house is on a notorious road in VGC. I assessed that street when I was offered a house in 2010. Merely looking as the street exposes the flaw. I turned down the house with an excellent offer and told the agent that the street would flood. He swore on his ancestors graves. i just walked away. That road is basically the Achilles heel in the construction of that estate.
There is a local depression in that area of the estate which allows run off water to gather while draining slowly. The solution would require a large underground re-channeling from the VGC entrance roundabout to the lagoon behind the estate. This will accommodate the increased volume of flood caused in part by the road reconstruction activities and ongoing nearby construction projects
While I completely agree that the VGCPORA association has not done enough, prospective developers/home owners need to learn from this and incorporate future regional development estimates into their project's long term feasibility plans.

The Lakeview estate opposite Ikota shopping complex would be in the same situation within 4 to 5 years or when 60% inhabited; whichever comes first. I once told the developer that the canal behind that estate which is trapezoidal in shape and only about 1m by 2m cross section looked too small to handle the future volume of run off water. He simply smiled.

Lagos state ministry of environment needs to wake up. They have been asleep for too long. Most developed parts of Lagos flood when it rains just like gridlocks when people move, flood control needs the same solution; more and better planned passage roads for people and drainage systems for rain & flood.
