Lagos’ surrounding areas are not only unprotected by the wall, but are lower in sea level than Eko Atlantic. It’s a combination that leaves the old city of Lagos and its hundreds of years of history startlingly vulnerable.
If the critics are correct, Eko Atlantic might provide parts of Lagos with yet another link to the sea, one rooted in potential danger and unknowable risk. To the sea parts of the city may return.
“With sea walls, you have to figure out what you’re protecting against,” Dr. Blumberg advised. In the case of Lagos and Eko Atlantic, the better question might be who gets the protection.




We can not drain above into the sea even with the best drainage system because we are below and the sea is above. What we need are dikes, levees and water retention basin like they have in new suburbs say like the US, the reservoirs collects and store rain water which prevent flooding.



A retention basin is used to manage storm water runoff to prevent flooding and downstream erosion





https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retention_basin





.


Every neighborhood in flood prone areas in Lagos should have a retention basin to receive and store rain water.

I think having a number of those in strategic locations will be helpful, the cost implication though, I don't know.

You are right about the cost and implications because implementing this means relocation and compensations, but you save money, property and prevent needless loss of life in the long run.

Sorry my broda. Truth is what does it profit a man to build a beautiful or great house/estate with no gutter/ adequate drainage
there is drainage outside but due to the constant rain it got full. All the drainages are full and no where to flow into and so stagnant
