This is not just a drainage issue. I live in an estate in lekki-ajah axis with excellent drainage and for the first time in 8 years, we have had water gathered in the premises for over 5 days; not up to ankle length and not all over the place, but a strange sight all the same. The lagoon is at our back and the drains empty into it and a nearby canal. Thanks to 8 days of rain, most of it very heavy, there's no where for the water to go to; the ground is saturated, the canal and the lagoon are at a high level.

It's the same scenario in my small farm further down the lekki axis. The ground is saturated; water fills the imprint of your feet when you step on the ground.

I think the problem we have in Lagos goes beyond drainage. Lekki, Ikoyi, VI are all low lying areas with high water tables. So, with the extended, heavy rains that we have experienced recently flooding is inevitable.

Lagos remains at the bottom of places I want to reside. The best still remains intolerable. For the fifth largest economy in Africa not to be able to provide decent infrastructure for its business nerve centre is just plain lazy mindedness and crass irresponsibility. Just can't live there.

Lagos WILL NOT WORK

Too many people are feeding, leeching off Lagos. If you live in Lagos, you probably live with one of these people if you're not one of them

From pilgrimage/job placement/select scholarship/automatic land allocation/ghost contracts/ghost workers and all

The media will ALWAYS hype Lagos. The media IS Lagos

Is Lagos no longer bragging about its highest IGR?
The crowd is what generates the revenue, not so?
Lagos will work when Ambode and Tinubu stop stealing the people's money.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_slums
This is a list of slums. A slum as defined by the United Nations agency UN-HABITAT, is a run-down area of a city characterized by substandard housing, squalor, and lacking in tenure security. According to the United Nations, the percentage of urban dwellers living in slums decreased from 47 percent to 37 percent in the developing world between 1990 and 2005.[1] However, due to rising population, and the rise especially in urban populations, the number of slum dwellers is rising. One billion people worldwide live in slums[2] and the figure is projected to grow to 2 billion by 2030.[3]

Yes Boss.

I just pray we don't experience such especially with the rate at which people sandfill water bodies , rivers, oceans just so they could errect buildings for estates, hotels etc.


Eko Atlantic will set the standard. They've focused on their drain network. Perhaps everyone will learn from there.

Your education is a complete waste. Are those other places you mentioned anywhere near the coast or as congested as Lagos.

You are so on point. That should be so instinctively the comment of all. But pathetic. "WISE AND SHARP GUY". My kind of people who are so and always so prepared for the unpredictable. Assuming the water level becomes so high, gets higher calling for mass drowning. THAT WHITE DUDE WILL MAKE AN ESCAPE WHILE THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE SOIL GET SWALLOWED BY FLOOD. Dont want to say more because the thoughtless will misunderstand my point as being racially inclined. For the have turned an event that should ignite an introspection into a tribal sentiment amidst themselves. WHY IS AFRICA MOST ESPECIALLY NIGERIA SO BACKWARD? Its because they are so busy with TRIVIALITIES.

What's the difference between a Canoe and Kayak? Well the difference is relatively simple; it’s related to the position in the boat and the type of paddle they use to propel the boat.

In a kayak, the paddler is seated and uses a double-bladed paddle pulling the blade through the water on alternate sides to move forward.

In a canoe, the paddler kneels and uses a single-bladed paddle to propel the boat forward.
