SOS- Calling On Relevant Authorities In Lagos And Ogun State To Come To Our Aid

As a concerned resident, this is a personal call on Opic and the lagos state government to come to our aid in addressing the flooding issue in the isheri-north GRA estate, lagos. This estate is located on the border town between lagos and ogun states and is closest to the ogun river that runs below kara; just before berger. The river has overflown its banks and is now flowing into our drainage that is supposed to serve as an outlet into the river hereby flooding the whole estate and dragging wild snakes into our dwelling place. There is rumour about a velocity breaker damaged at the ikere gorge dam and the dam officials cant control the flow rate anymore. Please, we pay all our taxes to the lagos state government and want action to be taken before this river becomes our own macbeth. Some have started evacuating their houses, living as refugees but what about us that have nowhere to go? We have invited our closest media house, channels tv but it might not generate income so they dont care.
Moderators, please do tge needful and save our lives cry cry cry

I still wonder why anyone would want to compare Lagos with Abuja

Certain things can only happen in Lagos, never in Abuja.

I think Abuja got class.

This is actually not about whether it is Abuja or Lagos, when Oyan dam is opened, residents along the drainage experience this.

I read your quote to my mother in law, after laughing so loud. She said next time you see the guy, ask again, the response will change. Next time, give him no matter what he says

What class does Abuja have young man. A town with no single viable industry that only feeds on looted funds of politicians cannot be classy. Put it this way, Lagos can survive very well on its own even as a separate country but Abuja will break down in two months without Niger Delta Oil. What a plastic town.
