So flowers are now trees . . . Splendid . .you really need to keep quiet atimes so that you don't get exposed often . . . my illiteracy seem to be better than your intelligent post

Alhaji, you know its the truth,

let your government make the other seaports viable and you ll see how fast the people that count avoid that ' herpes sore

0lumide:

I'm sure you know he is not planting only flowers right?

Flowers are necessary because we can't plant just trees everywhere and have it look like forest!!

Trees are being planted all over lagos and you have been to lagos, you will see that,

I guess you seat in your village picturing Lagos from NTA news right? OLODO!!

edoyad:

[size=20pt]LAGOS[/size], there is only one.

Can't wait to make enough money so i can return home, my lagos.

phantom:

Jmaine abeg take am easy, i feel these people, if i threw a few flowers to you in a s.h.it hole, wouldnt you be eternally grateful?

alj_harem:

flowers can only come from plants or trees


photosystem 2 is nessaccary in this occuation and thus the flowers make it more effiecent

because flowers are colourful, they contain pigments that can absorb light from different wavelight unile green plant alone

Baba . .this your post make me laff tire  

alj_harem:


lagos on a normal day is very conjested and car produce a large amount of CO2

this CO2 are absobed during the day when they photosynethisis take place

Okay, so what is your solution to the problem?? Any suggestions??

phantom:

Is this really Jason?you alien what have you done with Jason?hehe just kidding, seriously why did you write off  underground drainage

jmaine:
 

The gaseous emission vehicles would emit in large quantities would rather be CO due to incomplete combustion of the gasoline  . . . but i would like to inform you that yes . . Plants utilize CO2 for photosynthesis but they also respire just like man in giving out CO2 as a bye product . . .

And it might also interest you to know that it takes plant about 40 - 60 years for plants to act as carbon sinks, which means all young plants would definitely increase the CO2 content in the atmosphere before they begin to act as a sink . . so your desperate excuse is a failure . .  That is why scientist all over are concerned about the rapidly dwindling amazon forest and other primary forest all over the globe . .  cos it takes years to have such trees perform the important task of being a carbon sink . .  Planting of new trees is part of a long term plan to cater for the future generations while we strive to reduce emission of CO2 in the atmosphere to cushion it's effect . .

Nobody is against beautification . .but, praising it to the high heavens when there are more important things to be done smirks of profound idleness . .

Eko Ile:


But who is forcing you to praise Fashola? Why is creating so much headache for you? Your is nothing but sadism and hate, you are in all the Fashola/Lagos threads on NL spewing you negativity and disagreement with anything Lagos and you do this all the time.


It doesn't even matter what what they are saying about Lagos, you just show face to spew your anti Lagos negativity.

You really must be a sad and hateful person of NR.

phantom:

Okay but you do realized the ' discomfort'  and casualties  from this flooding if  not tackled will dwarf in the long term the ' discomfort' that results from tackling it.jason, the truth is the state govt does not see this as an emergency.you cited cost but if the govt channels the funds for the proposed airport into this, mark my words, you will see a difference

phantom:

And by the way jason, your state will not go bankrupt, it all boils down to fashola drawing up a comprehensive drainage masterplan and not just setting up offices to oversee it, this whole thing will not be done in a day.first, let him understand how the drainage network runs in lagos, which parts of the city drain into which lagoon or river and start tackling little by little, point is, let there be a Plan!

jason123:

I get your point and it is good as we criticize OUR government when we think they have done something wrong.

The point you have forgotten is that THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT is a NATURAL DISASTER (couple with the human factors mentioned). It does not rain in Lagos that way, normally and you know this. He (Fashola) was caught unaware.

The state government went to visit the flood areas. Fashola himself went there. (Far right) .http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/07/lagos-flood-kills-25/



About the Airport and the Underground. You have a valid point BUT:

The state needs to remain viable despite its ever growing population. A state with OVER 18 MILLION people should have atleast ONE world class airport to attract investors. Murital Airport, to me, is not world class and the bigger shame is that it is owned by the FG .

As a Lagosian, do you not want a situation where when your friends from abroad come to visit you, they compliment your airport?? Although, I also acknowledge that that is not the priority.

Regarding the channeling of funds, it will be difficult as the underground project is something that MUST be done WELL not just a half baked project. If it must be done well, it needs the REQUIRED FUNDS for the execution of the project WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (you do not want to build such a project during the raining season. So basically, you have 3 months of so to complete such a project ). Lagos state does not have that sort of money. It is the FG that does but you, by now, should know how the FG handles such projects across the country. To make matter worse, Lagos is a ACN state, a PDP rival . . . .

alj_harem:

i know plant produce CO2 at night because there is not light for them to use and thus break down there starch to form CO2 but the lenght of day in nigeria is higher than nigth so actually in the long run it breaks down more CO2 than it produce. this solution is for later generations to enjoy and that is why countries are told to plant trees by the green countries like the EU

cars mostly produce CO and CO2.

the CO actually is less denser than air and goes to the atmosphere (stratosphere) this then get in contact with oxygen radicals which has been broken down by the sun light (UV rays). thus CO2 is fromed

2CO + O2 ====== 2 CO2

what carbon sink are u saying in what terms is it limestome or what

in the case of the atmosphere, it is only logical to plant trees and plants which is not an immediate solution but certainly a long term solution

if u take thing to propective here

phantom:

I do not see any disadvantage at all in using underground drainages  to be honest, pull down houses if you have to do it, this is not the time to look at faces.lagos will be better for it, hell, he should call in experts if he has to cos from the pictures we have seen, it is indeed frightening and will worsen,

jmaine:


Carbon sink . .  like it says . . the plants utilizing large amounts of CO2 during photosynthesis to build up their biomass, hence their biomass act as traps for atmospheric CO2 . . .

phantom:

I am glad you realize that airport is not a priority.yes it is absolutely wonderful to have a world class airport and to have friends from outside commend it but would rather prefer those friends and investors moving around lagos in submarines? I dont expect fashola to build tokyo type underground sewers but his aim should be to replicate the already existing underground drainages all over the city, bit by bit.
