BiafranNigerian:
Poor man's mentality. Does rain fall everyday ? Most of the year is sunny, Yes, I own a house in Lekki, and there is no other part of Lagos, I will chose to own a property apart from Lekki, Ikoyi and VI. Even as I am typing now, I can hear the sound of SUVs tearing the water apart. Flood is natural, it will sink in with time. Its a failure of government, not the responsiblitiy of wealthy citizens to fix roads. We pay our taxes and land use charge annually.

Rebekkah:
They can control it please. those people are unconcerned about the state of their environment.
The major reason for flooding is poor drainage systems. Lekki and smelly gutters are like 5&6.

Mosquitos sef wan depopulate humans for there.

Nowhere you'll see a neat gutter in Lekki, no not one!
Do you see those man eating drains in NYC that's why they don't got floods!
Don't gimme that crap boy!

Pics were taken at a street off Admiralty way

sucess001:
i am sure the OP lives on the mainland...

i live in Lekki and yes i ll live ythere a million times over...so the roads are water logged at times due to flash floods...where else in Lagos isnt?


cos you cant afford to live there shouldnt make you beef the place....

moreover, most lekki residents use SUVs and aint complaining...why then are you taking medicine for another man's sickness?

iberu001:
They never see anything yet,dey won live like king,they don't know when they are sand filling,drenching and lots more,i bet it if there is 0.01% increase in ocean/sea water level, the whole area will be submerge.Now that the polar region is melting and depletion in the ozone layer which is really given the world headache.I just pity them.If you fight the nature,the nature will fight back.They should kontinue........

Rebekkah:
So the government will come and dig your gutter out eh. What do you know about sanitation Mr rich mentality? Shame on you.
You've never heard of submerged lands before in your tax paying and 'suving' life, right? Keep waiting for the flood to dry out on its own and one day you'll SUV into the Atlantic.
No offense 'taxie'!

Niyinficient:



Will you and your bigotry-bad-English gerrarahia? Don't spoil the thread with your in-built tribalism. Iti!

Onuokwu:

Sufferhead!

Reference:


Ignorant man. Instead of attending to the coming calamity of ocean rises in decades to come you are there making noise. The pacific islanders are already packing out. By the time you realise it the value of your property there will be next to nothing. I have made up my mind long ago not to buy anything on the island anymore and to sell all my holdings there by 2020. I ain't gonna be cut napping. That place won't exist in 50 years time. Nigerians are always too slow on the uptake.

dauntless15:
for were? I d my comfy dry land o, and HELL YEAH i mean the mermaid comment, thank God flood doesn't discriminate between the high class and the low class, enjoy your lekki haven preeqs

jackyraw09:


Your self steem is obviously low. always trying to seek validation in all your NL posts.

when u go post w/o trying to make it known that u live in the US.

Ppl like u have social anxiety issues irl im pretty sure.

get a life please this is is a nigerian msg board, either get used to it or Bleep off.

danowena:
Ofcourse I can. Just buy a good SUV or tundra to divide the water like the rod of Moses divided the red sea. Some areas in Houston Texas are worse than this.

Gamesmart:


Why do you prefer Ajah to a place like Surulere or Yaba?

Jarus:



Well, my first stay in Lagos was in that side (living with my brother). So i became so used to it. Now, I have settled there as a landlord.

Not easy to settle in Yaba/Surulere with your own house. Those are already fully built/developed area, Ajah is a developing area.

n3xt:

That's only if you're aware of the challenge before paying for a property in the area.
Otherwise, the beautiful structures and lovely edifice around would make you pay. The consolation will be "Orun nya'bo... Bi t'enikan ko"
Meanwhile this is no big deal if there's proper water exclusion strategy.

mufutau55:


Of course... it's only now that I am aware of the area. If I know the area is like that, I won't even try it.
But we don't like to individually create a good water channel in Naija, even big people waiting for Govt. to do everything for them.

Gamesmart:


Okay, you are looking for house building opportunity.

What about flooding palava?

ipledge5:
I think some areas are more prone to flood than others...no week will go without hearing about flood is some part of Texas.no matter how much it rained in NY within an hour you will only see wet roads..I think flood is not what Government or Richard people can control.

Jarus:
Bros, no be only me dey stay there. It has become a way of life. We finf our way round it.

Are the PERENNIALLY flooded parts of Texas the chic, EXPENSIVE parts of the state like Lekki is in Lagos state



When shall we stop JUSTIFYING the governance FAILURES of those we EMPLOYED to serve us

Are the PERENNIALLY flooded parts of Texas the chic, EXPENSIVE parts of the state like Lekki is in Lagos state "

danowena:
I agree with you on " ..stop JUSTIFYING the governance FAILURES of those we EMPLOYED to serve us "
.
However, you need to do a little research on your question " Are the PERENNIALLY flooded parts of Texas the chic, EXPENSIVE parts of the state like Lekki is in Lagos state "
. You will be shocked at what you will find out.

Jamean:
Paulipopor do you still like Lekki ?
