shocked rain in lagos see gold

How I wish just half of the rain is in kano

It's march, here in kano we are still carrying out dry season agriculture using irrigation and we are still almost 3-4 months away from having our first rain

The lagos govt should please try and fix the drainage system to avoid lost of life and property

Truth be told, Lagos is being over hyped. though some few part of it are okay, majority of Lagos is suffering from poor drainage system and far behind in terms of public utilities when compared with the status of Lagos in Nigeria.

WHY LAGOS FLOODS
1. Clogged Drains - Silt & Waste (Government and Citizens both have roles to prevent this)
2. Poorly Constructed Roads - do not allow proper runoff and encourage pot-holes
3. No Drainage Plan - all of Lagos should have a drainage plan like the veins on a leaf from small to big
4. No Storm Control Plan
5. High Water Table (Lagos Island & Lekki)
6. Concrete Paving Trend - Residents and home owners paving the inside of their compounds with concrete preventing water returning/percolating into the ground)

NO MORE LAGOS FLOODS
1. Comprehensive Sewage System
2. Public Awareness & Sensitisation
3. Reduction in Concrete Cover
4. Sump Pits
5. Drainage Clearance & Desilting

So what is the big deal, there was a heavy down pour and the roads are flooded for few hrs after wc the drainages gradually channels the water away, even in USA, UK and Qatar etc we hv seen worse, so don't come here to paint lagos in a bad light.

What a country.....? How much to construct good drainage system instead only one man will steal 9.6billion dolls and stack same in a house at Kaduna. Shame on who ever has ruled and is still ruling Nigeria. I hope one day the youths can rise up to the mantle of making Nigerian a more better place.


Who go EPP me if I no EPP myself?
