I hope all of us that are rushing land around Lekki, Ajah and such areas are seeing this |
Re: I Live In Lekki by lawuyi(m): 10:13am On Jul 20, 2010 |
Daaaaaamn, no b small thing o! To be honest i dunno why everyone's rushing to Lekki and the Ajah area, water issues plus road and traffic issues are waaay too major for me to take lightly, and i don;t see it improving short term like someone said before i'd do the decent parts of yaba, sabo or even ebute metta first, |

Now the futur FTZ area will be the futur APAPA with the new rafinery. Heavy truck will pass daily ELEKO toll gate more 5000 workers only for the raffinery. Odor Gaz flare will rejected everyday. His also very good idea but the futur resident must be aware of futur desagrement Just my opinion and take note. |

EEyah!!! MARINE TRANSGRESSION AND REGRESSION Geologically speaking, Lekki is below Sea Level, soon it would become fully submerged and probably be a reference for geologists. You cannot stop nature from playing its role. The sea-level is beginning to rise relative to the land. All those living in Lekki, pls be warned and those planning to buy lands there, pls think twice. Imagine how Lekki would be in the next 5-10 years, |

It is true! Visited a family friend at Augustine Alozie street in lekki phase one last month and it was a terrible swim to get to the house, so bad i wondered why people pay so much to buy lands and houses there. I mean many houses there are more expensive than those in london and yet you negotiate through terrible traffic and endure sub-par amenities it baffles me about Nigeria. |
Re: I Live In Lekki by efoshizzle: 1:10am On Jul 21, 2010 |
That's lagos, not just Lekki. I live waaaaaaay on the otherside of the world, from lekki-in Lagos though-and i've experienced worse, heck, i'm still experiencing! So, it's not really perculiar to Lekki; just do the right thing with the planning et al, and you'll be good. Over here, plan all u want, your house is still going to get flooded, and your roads turned into mini oceans. 'nuff said. |
Re: I Live In Lekki by MORANOCEE(m): 1:17am On Jul 21, 2010 |
Lekki is a mess! my office is in phase one and i know how i swim almost everyday to the office due to flood and it irritates.The HITECH construction company guys also adds pepper to their injury by demolishing culverts without erecting new ones till date.Lekki stinks,but people still ride on with the name.For me,Ikeja would always remain my best abode anyday! |

The house in question is located behind Femi Okunnu Estate at the Jakande Roundabout. It's not in Lekki Phase 1. There are clear guidelines for building houses in this axis but in an attempt to cut corners many landlords ignore these guidelines. The house is not the only house in that location that has this problem. The road is way higher than many of the houses and in particular this house. One of the other houses I saw there has the ground floor almost completely submerged by water and the owner still wants to rent out the other two floors, it's pathetic. Without mincing words, I and my colleagues that went to inspect the property told him that the whole house has to be brought down and a new house built. I cannot even imagine my enemy living in that place. The whole thing can just crumble one day having been weakened by water. Having said that, there seems to be an attempt to discredit everything Lekki in this thread. I remember when it rained sometime in July of 2008 and there was flash flooding in Yaba. Most people living there were taken unawares and had to contend with the fallout of the rain of that particular day which flooded many houses. What we see in Lekki in terms of bad roads is symptomatic of what obtains in most parts of Lagos. |

Re: I Live In Lekki by kenuoyibo(m): 3:13am On Jul 22, 2010 |
very pathetic. what do expect when u live on a low altitude? |
Re: I Live In Lekki by zaliya(f): 12:54pm On Jul 22, 2010 |
If lekki is below sea level what you think the whole ND is? @sjeezy8 NigerDelta is a Delta formed when rivers flow into a body of water. The beach we see in Lagos today is as result of Niger Delta Lekki is not a Delta yet its flooded. If u live in Lekki, run for your dear life and move into the mainland. The only thing connecting Lekki to the Mainland is the 3rd Mainland bridge, and other bridges ooooo. what if, |
Re: I Live In Lekki by debosky(m): 2:35pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
zaliya: Can you stop making baseless claims? Lagos beaches are not related to the Delta in any way - they are formed as a result of weathering processes by the Atlantic Ocean and the rivers - Ogun, Osun and the likes that discharge into the Atlantic through Lagos. |
Re: I Live In Lekki by tpiah: 6:30pm On Jul 26, 2010 |
liftedone: it's ignorance that makes people utter ignorant statements. the entire ground floor isnt supposed to be occupied at all, ideally. and since its in a flood zone. but being nigeria. . . . . . . . . . . |
Re: I Live In Lekki by tpiah: 6:31pm On Jul 26, 2010 |

Wdat do you guys think of Beechwood Estate Lekki with regards to flooding ? |
Re: I Live In Lekki by Chekitaut: 9:54pm On Sep 13, 2014 |
serious matter here ooo |
Re: I Live In Lekki by segcymoor(m): 10:30am On Sep 14, 2014 |
Habitat: Wdat do you guys think of Beechwood Estate Lekki with regards to flooding ?Absolutely safe from flood. The major problem about this particular building is that it is not rightly done. - it's either foundation badly done or the building is going through serious settlement. Another issues in lekki ajah axis is lack of drainage in many places. Beechwood Estate is not really in lekki but rather in ibeju lekki. Virtually all that end is dry land. 1 Like |
