I got this from a forwarded mail.

This is not to say every house in Lekki is like this. Don't be discouraged please,  Just be a little bit more careful in your choice of area.
Please read this reality show
Living in Lekki is not always to be envied
I live in Lekki amongst the "Big boys" and I pay so much. If you hear the amount I pay as rent, you will not believe that ordinary rainfall will cause me this pain even with the money I am paying as rent. Who is to be blamed?

There is a reason for a well articulated master plan for a town or city and 100% adherence to the plan.

Na wah o. I'm thinking people should reinforce the design, build and sale of canoes for the Lagos rich n famous. Job creation of course.

Canoes large enough to transport benz cars.

Realtors should also throw in rubbers boots / sandals along with the sales and leases of lekki 'palaces'

Wow that guy must have incurred huge losses.

Re: I Live In Lekki by WAVixen: 6:18pm On Jul 19, 2010
kai, and Bongo (Nigeria) no be place wey person go claim any insurance, a similar fate befell a pal at Ajah last year. This is pathetic!!!!! Everything will come out of pocket now.  Pictures cant be seen ke? its all over the net!!!!
Re: I Live In Lekki by abhosts(m): 6:21pm On Jul 19, 2010
I live in Lekki and would choose Lekki over anywhere in Nigeria (Probably except Ikoyi) any day, anytime. Those pictures are not new. That house is situated in a poorly developed neighborhood in Ajah.
Re: I Live In Lekki by browncocos(f): 6:23pm On Jul 19, 2010
damn!
thats some serious loss right there
pray tell,how many days abi weeks did it rain for to cause this kind of catastrophe?
Re: I Live In Lekki by matiltomd(f): 6:24pm On Jul 19, 2010
Lekki is off it for me, I'd rather live in Yaba;Sabo (anywhere around Domino Stores) or Tajudeen Olanrewaju Estate. These areas are quite at the central;you can easily get to the Island and Ikeja without swimming, Funny enough,Fashola has transformed that area to 'little London' with the roads,street light and all. I think some people live or are living in Lekki all cause they want to come across as classy or rich (at their discomfort),
Re: I Live In Lekki by Ibomade1: 6:26pm On Jul 19, 2010
Chineke mee !!!. My heart goes out to this fella because insurance people will be dragging their legs as if they guy was behind the whole shibang.  But Yes I still don't mind living in Lekki[b] in a boat house sha[/b]

Those pictures were in a national daily or even Sahara some days ago. It is not photoshop.
Re: I Live In Lekki by RICHIEBOI1(m): 6:37pm On Jul 19, 2010
thank god ma sis and her husband didnt buy a property at lekki, instead they opted for the one in VGC.  i think VGC is the coolest place to live in lagos. the master plan there is superb and the road network is well structured. VGC is da BOMB! wink

People can still refer to themselves with a second person pronoun at times. Not bad! Who is she BTW?
Re: I Live In Lekki by Nobody: 6:46pm On Jul 19, 2010
Hmmn, na wah oh.
The owner would practically be swimming in his own house.
This problem of flooding in Lagos. Hope we get to see an end someday.

NEVER BUY A PROPERTY IN THE DRY SEASON

Re: I Live In Lekki by browncocos(f): 6:51pm On Jul 19, 2010

hmm never mind!
Re: I Live In Lekki by Nobody: 6:55pm On Jul 19, 2010
[b]This could happen anywhere close to water with no gutters and poor planning.
When building in a water-lodged area, consideration should be given to the water; and the DPC (Damp Proof Course) should be extended as high as 4 to 5 feet.
The 2nd picture above showed that there was little or no DPC, if this property was lavished with even a poor 2 feet DPC, this would never happen to it, irregardless if theres a drainage system around.
The property is a total waste for now, because the owner either employed those hungry engineers who likes to kiss butt and who doesnt care about anything but getting his pay and building whatever the owner wants.
I am also passing a message out to a fellow nairalander who called me recently and whose site I inspected in Eleko, your so called security guy I met there smartly asked my professional opinion so he could build the place stealing my idea, well I intentionally gave him a very wrong idea and if he builds for you, the house in the picture above would be nice compared with yours. He is not a builder, hes just an omo-onile and the fact he wears a boot and safely cap doesnt mean he knows anything.
We should employ the right people, and stop interfering with professionals and get their candid opinions. Its hard to get money, but somethings cant be economized.

You're totally right. Even Katrina's picture that has been littered all over the forum has been photoshopped.


You're really confused.
Re: I Live In Lekki by snowdrops(m): 7:02pm On Jul 19, 2010
This sends a stern and clear message to anyone living in or intending to live in the towns and places on and around the coast line of Lagos and other states in Nigeria. It is no longer safe. Nigeria has non-existent flood protection.

You better start selling your properties at least while they are still valuable. Because in 10 to 20 yrs time, you might be under water.
