which drainage can hold flood?

Even most advanced country doesn't have control over flood or any natural disaster, they only manage it well.

The point is that it is not a flood of natural disaster proportions. There is no equivalency at all lol. It happens repeatedly due to the same in adequacy; drainage and planning issues. There are numerous coastal cities that get more mm of rainfall per year without such issues.

most roads in lekki, ajah vgc have the best drainage systems in the country.

Lagos is prone to flood, hence the reason.

Even Canada and New Zealand experiences severe overflooding at times. It has nothing to do with Nigeria's failure.

You spoke my Mind Bro.
is Sri Lanka also a failed country? how many times an average Nigerians in their leisure carry rake and shovel to clear drainage in their frontage? you eat okpa and instead of throwing the nylon into waste bin the gutter near you is the last resort

LOL richer peeps live on the mainland.

Apart from Ikoyi no other place can match Surulere, Opebi-Allen, GRA ikeja on the island.

Dont mind them,i used to stay on island and i can tell you that most people living there lives fake life,even when you go to hangout clubs,bars,or any fun spot,its mostly people from mainland that make things happen,most islanders are just onlookers.Fake people.

if u r even listening 2 urself, or if u read d article, it said a day of rainfall, if d drainage was working well, it won't lead 2 dis flood. Na 40days rain?! D fact is things don't work well here, and what whites call natural disaster is smthin so massive dat it can't be contained. A simply good drainage would av prevented this, so I didn't expect u 2 criticise d person who pointed out dat it's due 2 lack of a proper drainage, and then saying it's a natural disaster; sounds like what our failed ministers would say.

the article was written by goats who wouldn't read like yourself but just say anything to spite the government.

If this happened on mainland, I would have blamed the government too.

Vgc have one of the best roads and drainage system in the country.

Why am I even responding to someone who doesn't know the actual the root cause of floods? cheesy
Re: Victoria Island Garden City Flooded After Hours Of Rainfall In Lagos Today (Pics by abbey621(m): 9:59am On Jun 07, 2017
This is my take on the issue, people buy land and build houses worth millions even over 100 million in that area yet they expect government to solve all their problems. This area has been plagued for years and it is clear government is not the solution, what would it cost for a community effort to raise 20 million or above and take care of the issue once and for all. if you go outside of VGC towards Ikota the problem does not exist, this means that particular area has poor drainage system; for goodness sake it only rained for less than 2 days and such calamity what are they going to do when we have one of those 5 to 7 days rain? angry angry angry

Nice point.

Do you know the drainage system in ghetto likes Shomolu-Bariga is far better than what you find in VGC.

Just look @ the mess they made of Lekki Phase .

This shows that the 'rich also cry'. This is the state of Victoria Island Garden City VGC after rainfall in Lagos today. Reports have it that some major roads have been rendered inaccessible after being overtaken by raging floods in the area as road users and motorists lament.

According to reports, the early morning downpour in Lagos which resulted in heavy flooding in VGC caused heavy traffic from Mega Chicken to VGC leading to Ajah fly-over.
