The Lagos state government could also set up a panel of professional, properly trained and experienced town planners to work on doing something about the floow. It will lead to some houses being demolished but the government can compensate them. this will be for the common good

Toaskarity:

After 12 years, you are suggesting we pretend this is all new and set up more committees to solve a problem that we have supposedly spent billions to sort out? I think at this point, people need to demand answers from the government. Stop proffering silly solutions to OBVIOUS problems with OBVIOUS solutions. Not until Lagoscians, and Nigerians start demanding their officials pay for the cost, will things get better.

We will all come back here next year, and will likely see a repeat and the same solutions flow

Seun:

Can you list and explain the obvious solutions for the benefit of people like me who are not so clever? :-)

Yours GEJ,:

Plead with boko haram to stop the flooding,

dayotheone:

before anything at all , , excavate,eliminate, in such reduce the number of people leaving in Lagos to there district or state. Lagos is to small and to clumsy , the people are one of those who cause blockage for the flow of water

Kobojunkie:

Don't you get tired asking that same question year after year 

Nigerians, Google has come to your rescue oooo! why hold fast to these question when answers abound, right at your finger tips?

dayotheone:

,
my sis, dont you know google cant solve all the question .,because it  is not God  .we have pple having the right solution but no pple to implement it, lets do it our way stop employing international way of solving problem most of the time, it may nt work thes ame way

Kobojunkie:

Who says anything about google solving any problem other than helping people  with answers to questions that the world has SOLVED and moved on on?

Stop employing international ways of solving problems?? Are you sane at all?  You are suggesting that building better drainage in Nigeria, in Lagos, may not work at all even before you actually build it first and then try it? WOW!!!   

M M M:

Constructing of swimming pool with dose water in every street & road of lagos.

Seun:

Can you at least give us the name of the solution you're proposing or a reference web page you recommend?

GAR3TH:

What can lagos state do to stop flooding, Nothing. Simply because the state has no cash to build an integrated drainage network.

This is a problem for the federal government to resolve either by building or funding a proper drainage network that includes sewage pipes (not gutters), Tanks, Underground drainage tunnels, levees,Pump stations and Flood gates.

Until then Lagos state gov will have to build secondary or temporary street drains but It wont solve the flood problem unless a true network is built.

I already know that lagos state has a town planning master plan draw up by Dar Al-Handasah Consultants but IDK if lagosians flowing it. Most likely alot of houses will have to be demolished for the masterplan to work.

Lagosians also have to stop dumping refuse, The state should enforce punishments and fines for littering.

All in all Lagos will have this problem for a while, I will be here next year when a similar thread will be created.

Here is an example of an underground main drainage tunnel for Cleveland and north east Ohio that is being constructed.
Just show you the true cost of a drainage network.



and the Tokyo Drainage tank
