Your comment is an example of misery loves company.

You cannot compare the flood in Western Germany and Lagos - Nigeria as a whole. The flood in Western Germany and Europe is the result of global warming and climate change while that of Lagos is a result of zero urban planning and poor drainage.

Have you read or seen problem of flooding in Germany last year or in the last 30 years? The answer is NO. But Lagos flooding is a perenial problem. The only town well - planned with first-class drainage is Festac Town where l grew up in the 80s and 90s. Unfortunately, Nigerian factor has destroyed Festac.

If Lagos were to experience the kind of flooding in Germany, the entire Lagos will shut down and there would be thousands of death because Nigeria has poor emergency-and-disaster response system.

Cheers…enough said.

So, Tinubu might be the problem of Lagos State & whatever bashing he receives may be justified. However, to completely absolve Lagosians themselves of a share in the blame is sheer madness.

Who builds/erect structures on drainages or water channels? Who empties all their wastes into the drainages thereby blocking them? Who is in charge of overseeing/enforcing building plans & environmental laws in Lagos State? Is it Tinubu?

Why have successive governors also failed to find lasting solutions to the yearly problem of flooding in the state? See, the problem of Lagos flooding predates the era of Tinubu & as some experts have oft predicted, nature is only fighting back & it's only a matter of time before the entire state is submerged by water & there's nothing even the best drainages can do to prevent that.
