This is not a beach and not to be mistaken for a relaxation area in any way. This is Jankara Shopping area in Idumagbo, Lagos Island. For those who are not used to this place, we will try to give a brief of this area. Jankara can be accessed from different directions, for example, if you are coming from 3rd Mainland, before getting to Obalende, you can come in via Adeniji Adele, from Adeniji to Jankara is about 5mins walking distance, for those coming in via CMS, Tinubu area as well, you can drive and enter from Tom-Jones area, just a walking distance of 5-7mins will lead you to Jankara.

Jankara is an urban area in Lagos Island, it has close boundaries with popular Lagos markets like Oluwole, Balogun, Adeniji Adele, it is also very close to the Oba of Lagos Palace popularly called "Olowo Eko". Jankara is home to traders and also to business owners, Jankara house many business ventures, for example, those selling mobile phone accessories have a shop in this place popularly called Plaza, also Jankara has a school close to this market called King-Ado Secondary School, A Police Station is also sited close by as well which makes the place a reasonable place for business and for other transactions.

As good as this place might look on paper and on description, people living and doing business here may likely be battling with skin infection diseases if they were to be examined properly especially the students who use this road daily.

Its being 2 years since the drainage of Jankara have refused to flow and after series of outcry to the state government, the local government and all those in the helms of affairs, nothing has been done to this menace. The traders have resorted to fate as they all have rain boots, on a normal day, when it's not raining and everywhere is dry, Jankara is a beach on its own. AutoReportNG was at Jankara over the weekend for some transaction and we are surprised that despite being a sunny afternoon, the water in this place have refused to go away, in fact, the drainages were blocked right from the main road to the inner corners of the street up to Adenji area where they sell electrical and lighting items.

We spoke to some of the traders over what has been done and if they had informed the state government, they all burst into laughs and said they are even tired of writing letters and calling the government out on social media because they won't do anything. One of the traders said, I have been to Alausa and we have shown them pictures and videos of this place but nothing was forthcoming, as you can see, we all have bought rain boots, we can't sleep at home, we have to come to shop and hustle for our daily bread, we hope one of these days, God will touch their hearts and remember us at Jankara Markets.

AutoReportNG went round to see what the problem is and why has the water refused to flow and we note some observations...

1. The main drainage was blocked and can't flow: There is main drainage close to the police station that all waters pass through, we noticed that the gutter was filled to the brim and refused to flow, also we noticed that sand were much in this gutter which makes it difficult for free flow. The way the drainage systems are now, the water flows backwards instead of forward, considering the fact that the drainage is blocked.

2. The traders sell on the gutter: When the road was constructed, the contractor was kind enough to make some drainages but trust Lagosians to make use of every available space for business, the traders have hijacked the space meant for drainage and converted them to shops.

3. Most buildings were constructed on drainages which is one of the causes of this flood.

We hope the Lagos State Government can come and access this place and find ways to help the traders and residents of this area.

These are some of the photos we can capture, we can't capture much as the water was itchy to the skin.

Anyway, all na hustle, but I just hope this gets to the relevant authorities so something can be done.

bullion van Tinubu will only be milking Lagos treasury dry. Where's sanwolu projects here. If Ambode's allowed to do his second term , Infact Ambode will have done extremely well in government.

Chai Lagos

Listen to the following revelation about Lagos light rail project of 10 years from Mr Babatunde Gbadamosi.

They've finished Lagos and we all know. Chai chai chai .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1AzA7lhaTw

I hope things get better .this could be solved with good drainage system

Hmmmm!!
I really pity those traders! Even the buyers sef roll their trousers, they have reached out to the government and since nothing is coming forth they ought to have prepared for this season, if their goods gets damaged by flood Lasg doesn’t care about all that so they should try and sort it out to avoid disaster!!
They shouldn’t wait for the government those ones will never come through at all, the only time they will ever come through is when election is coming

Please before you have heart attack on someone headache can you report about your state Governor?

Also the reporter have never come up with his state of origin news

Having said that flood is a natural thing to capitals or cities around coastal area around the world

Well said great patriot.

Let him tell us how his state without bullion van comes close to lagos.

Humn! Environmental hazard.Yet government and citizens don't care much.Eko ti baje.

This is part of the reason why I feel local government should be scrapped, they're totally useless!

I thought market traders clear the drainage every Thursday. How are they even comfortable displaying their wares in the midst of all that filthy puddle?

I remember working with the branch of a bank in idumagbo.. And idumagbo is quite close to jankara market.. It was a horrible experience navigating through the terrains of these markets and other markets in Lagos island.. These markets remit billions yearly to Lagos State yet can't get proper drainage..goos roads.. And even clean environment.. Thank God i left that job and Lagos as a whole

dominique pls, what is the relationship between you and ?

because the way you always block people for that guy... I don't just understand...

These people will be exposed to many skin infection diseases.

A good drainage at the right location will be the solution to this.

And don't be suprise to see many of these marketers being the cause of the problems they have by throwing garbages to block the few existing drainage.


What an eyesore!

Honor10:



I don't think u can endure half of the insults that guy take regularly, on this forum, and most funny thing is, he won't insult u back, the only thing he can do is to report. All those that insult that guy again should be given life ban, everyone is entitled to his/her opinion.

Thanks for the heads up your Honour.
This wailer you quoted actually created this moniker to troll @... you can check ALL his posts!
This is his 5th moniker after being banned.
You noticed we ignored his quote above as usual.
Ignoring them kills them more.

We will continue not to respond to them in gutter languages cos we were raised by good people.
Thanks once more.
Cheers.

Mheen! The flood no be small thing for my area.

You come to this places hoping to buy goods or make Money

Instead you take bacteria home.

Eko ti baje patapata
20 years of Apshit rule and 'bullions' in revenue spent,
It is no better than a pigsty

This is how people will contract diseases that don't have cure. Please carry rain boot with you when going to the market, just in case.

Next level

Flood is a natural thing to cities around coastal areas around the world but the Government and the people need to do more to minimize it.




This is flood in London but trust Nigerians to always say shit.


No one is begging you to come to Lagos, if you want to leave Lagos leave Lagos ASAP

Lagos state government should do something to reduce Lagos population because it benefit the state.

no be new thing for jankara na. even without rain, there is water and what surprised me most, is that, there is big drainage in front of the police post there

FuckDaMods:
Lagos, the almighty Naija London as yorubers claimed

With the image you used and your post, it is obvious TRIBALISM has eaten into you seriously.
Better change for the better before it gets worse.
Our kobo!

Most expensive slumopolis
