Rains expose underbelly of Lagos

Babatunde Fashola
More Stories on This Section

If Lagos State’s darling governor, Babatunde Fashola, is not to leave the state, unappreciated, at the end of his tenure in spite of all his efforts on roads construction, he should, from this moment, begin to pay closer attention to the problem of flooding. The rains that fell last Saturday in the metropolis rudely exposed the underbelly of the mega city that his government is trying to build.

One fact that many people came away with following the downpour is that flooding is one of the major threats to the city. The floods left many wondering how critical sections of a mega city could be so summarily sacked and disgraced by a natural phenomenon that occurs every year.

That day, attempts by many Lagosians to link Jibowu through Ishaga/Mabo area of Surulere nearly turned out a misadventure as they ran into a street turned into a river, right in the heart of the city! Residents of the street were virtually trapped in their own homes as their vehicles bobbed about, a grave danger to drivers who suddenly found themselves trying to navigate a river instead of a road, while many vehicles broke down.But for the penchant of Lagos floods to recede shortly after rainfall, the state government would have had to be called in to rescue the hapless residents.

On some portions of Herbert Macaulay Way, especially the stretch between University of Lagos Road and the U-turn to Customs area, the flood was just as bad. Some portions of the Mile 2 – Oshodi Expressway are other bad spots where floods occasion terrible traffic gridlock.
The situation leaves many wondering if Lagos is, indeed, a mega city in the making as we are daily told.There is no doubt that Lagos is a large and complex city full of challenges. But, the way flood sacks many parts of the town anytime there is heavy rainfall calls for greater action from the government.

In past years, the city witnessed serious commitment to clearing of drainages and canals prior to the rains. But, with the general elections this year, the clearing of the drainages appears to have been more on the pages of newspapers than in reality.
Incidentally, this is one year that Nigerians have been warned to expect more rains than usual. The Nigerian Meteorological Agency has warned of increased rainfall, from between 300 to 1100mm in the North to between 1200 and 2700 mm in the South.

This is expected to lead to more floods with grave impact on public safety, agriculture, and transportation. To ensure safety, the Lagos State government has advised residents of some areas such as Owode-Onirin, Agiliti, Ikosi -Ketu and Isheri North Scheme to leave their homes for higher grounds during the period between June and January, next year.
This suggestion has not gone well with many residents of these areas, some of whom had to be evacuated to government camps during the heavy flooding of last year.

The challenge before Governor Fashola now is to conduct a study of the more severely flood-prone areas with a view to coming up with ways to re-channel the floods.
Asking people to leave their homes for seven months of the year as the state’s environmental agency has done is not a practical way of tackling the problem. There should be a more sustainable way of addressing the issue. This will need the knowledge of experts in flood control management.

Luckily, the state government recently through the Deputy Governor, Mrs. Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, said that governance in the state for the next four years will be based on the opinion of Lagos residents. This is a good development.
However, the recent report that the state government has accused car wash operators of being the major cause of flooding in the state is actually begging the question.

The Permanent Secretary, Office of Infrastructure, Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, Mr. Wasiu Olokunola, who gave the government position, said the authorities had commenced a clampdown on them.
He said available research on causes of flooding in the state indicated that car wash operators that discharge waste water on the road not only damage them, but also cause flooding.
It is good to ensure that car wash operators and others are restricted from damaging the roads, but the causes of heavy floods are much more serious than that.
As the Permanent Secretary advised, however, Lagosians need to pay more attention to clearing of drainages in their vicinities.
They also need to be proactive in getting the relevant government agencies to clear canals. With the problem of flooding getting worse year after year, it will be good to build more canals and drainages in affected parts of the state. Other parts of the country which experience flooding, especially Ibadan in Oyo State, the Eastern part of the country where the problem is compounded by erosion, and other prone areas in the North should take the warning from the meteorological agency seriously. Let measures be devised now to combat flooding in all parts of the country to ensure public safety during the rains.

I commend you for your courage. As a matter of fact, all the legislators, wether serving or not, should be picked by EFCC and by election conducted to replace them.
Kelvin K, 08068500927

Both the new Speaker and his deputy should be arrested along with Bankole, if not, we are heading from frying pan to fire
Glory Mfon, 08095049697

Thanks for that thought provoking piece on Bankole. I feel the media, civil society organizations, labour, students unions and all well meaning Nigerians must team up to protest against such jumbo pay to legislators.
Musa Z.P, 08052587654

I read your worry over the N10 billion loan by the House of Representatives members. My reaction: This country shall one day be free – by collapsing on the heads of its so called leaders. Watch my words. Thanks and welcome back.

From all these mind-boggling disclosures on Bankole and members of NASS, are we not inviting the military?
08023110526

Thanks for the story. You mean the money is not part of their wages? I think our system is too robust. We don’t need two houses. Crime is crime. Taking what is not yours is a crime.
08163387007

Bankole used the N10 billion to settle “awon” boys so that no prying eyes will make noise over the several underhand deals. He did not count on Dino Melaye and the progressives, and EFCC. We must be eternally vigilant if we don’t want the treasury devouring roller coaster to continue.
08035792801

Do we as a nation continue to allow Bankole and Co? The madness must stop, or else Nigeria will only grow without development to show for her age and wealth.
08037040092

Thanks for the piece. Very interesting. I suggest that immunity does not cover the aforementioned principal officers. They should be arrested and prosecuted by EFCC along with Bankole.
Ige Oladipo, 08055119021

You enumerated myriads of problems staring us in the face and begging for answers. Which party has been in power since 1999 till date. Is Bankole different from PDP leadership style? Why did PDP win if Nigerians are complaining? What’s Jonathan in power equation since 1999? Any blueprint to address the problems since over one year in office? We are either married to suffering or the poll was rigged.

The issue of jumbo pay for political office holders can only be tackled by ordinary Nigerians through mass action akin to the Egyptian andTunisian examples.The politicians, including the president, will not help. Only mass action can do it. Who will spearhead this?
Dr. Mairiga (KSM), 08037001190

lol, i don hear u!
good gal!!!

LMAO,
aer the church members perfect either?

Please leave this church member thing out, i agree with all other clauses but that one,

they may end up killing ones marriage,

marriage issues are better gotten well at first(before u marry) or afterwards in the room, on the bed without quarrels with a party being willing to take the blame and accept the fault, and the other party being remorseful and wellcoming too.

That works well

@upendo98.You are a scholar my dear! Welldone cos i got your messgae clearly too!

baby.me, long time,

wat if the gift was LATEST MODEL OF MURANO ZEEEEPPP, ??

You go think am twice oh!!!! especially if you neva marry your present gee.

WOMEN, ,, WE KNOW UNA(Except My BABE! sha)

Na joke o!!!!

BET , EM, BET, No vex o!

WHY ARE PEOPLE ALWAYS DEFENDING THEIR PASTORS?

No harm intended o!! for me i cant trust no much persons let alone defend anyone,

ITS ALL MAN FOR HIMSELF O, According to TUBABA.

Abeg make una bury the issue, it isnt worth tearing 'suits' for. lol

@190, Yes she ought to, she isnt every guys lady, she is SO SO SPECIAL AND DELICATE.

Leave her and quit trying, lol

THE IGBOS AND IBOS delineate one same and strong tribe nwanne.

Obu ndi oyibo butere nsogbu a

YA DIRIGI NANMA NWANNE, K'ANYI HAPU YA N'EBA, IMERIGO!!!!!!


YOU ARE THE WINNER!!!!!!!!!!

@upendo 98, I GET YOU CLEARLY!!!!!

Nice scenario and creativity,

Note this like i have always pointed out, THERE ARE FEW EXCEPTIONS, BUT WHAT PERCENT DO THEY REPRESENT, THAT IS THE CASE.

I Tell you, most of these high class ladies (more than 50% to be fair enough) ARENT WIFE MATERIALS IN ANY CATEGORY YOU CLASS THEM.

Most men are tired of divorces ,quarrels and nags, not to tlak of eating INDOMIE AS SUPPER ON A DAILY BASIS.

Bottom line, there exist a few good ones(exceptions) but what percentage do they represent, ?? AN INFINITESMAL PERCENT MY DEAR.

If i have met like 5 of them in the near future, 1 alone qualified tio be considered and upgraded because,in as much as no one is perfect, some LADIES JUST CANT FIT IN, NO MATTER THE PATIENCE AND ENDURANCE AND TUTORSHIP, They may be lucky to get a guy that values them anyway, but how it will end up is better imagined,

THE BEST FORM OF DEFENCE IS TO RUN AWAY, NOT TO ATTACK. LOL!!!

no fighting!!!!!!

moderator, advise them better.

BABE! Durling how are u doing?

Please keep telling them.
But guess that wasnt all the gifts i saw with you?

lol,

Yes i do, but wait till it happens,

SHUD ACN LOSE LAGOS OR ANY OF THE STATES IN YEARS TO COME, THE EVIL CALLED TYNUBU WILL BE UNVEILED.HE HAS HELD US CAPTIVE FOR 2 LONG.I say this as an insider o!

When breeze blow, foul yansh go open,

YOU CAN SAY ANYTHING YOU LIKE, BUT I HAVE DROPPED MY PIECE.

@LAGBOYZ, Ose gan o!

WONDER WHY THIS MAN WANTS ALL TO BOW FOR HIM, HE RESPECTS NO ONES VIEWS.

HE IS WORSE THAN OBJ, because HE IS THE SOLE OWNER OF THAT PARTY BOUND TO FAIL SOONEST.

HE IS A WRONG PERSON,

ILEKE -IDI AND EKO -ILE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, SO THESE DUDES ARE STILL DREAMING

ANYWAY , AS TIME CLICKS, THESE BONDAGED SENATORS AND REPS IMPOSED BY TINUBU WILL WAKE UP AND AGITATE AGAINST HIM(TAKE CUE FROM OBJS CASE), I THINK THEY ARE BEGINING TO WAKE UP,

THEY DO THE WORK, ONE GOD FATHER HOLDS THEM TO RANSOME AND DICTATES HIS CHOICE AND IMPOSE HIS PREFERENCE TO THEM.

WHO BETTER THING NO DEY HUNGRY,


REVOLT AGAINST TINUBU HAS JUST BEGUN, LETS WATCH.

Please spare us those insults of dog society bla bla bla,

Tour to where e get where people neva reach? Do u think NL's are that poor?

The point remains that you have a point just like we do, but every society has its peculiarity which may be traceable to its norms and beliefs and upon vetting can be seen to be real and binding as well.

Yes even here in naija a few GOOD RICH LADIES EXIST, BUT THE QUESTION IS WHAT PERCENT OF THEM WOULD BE SUBMISIVE,

Our divorce rate is relatively low compared to YOUR SO CLAIMED ABODE, It can be traced to all these,

IT IS BETTER WE PLAY SAFE AND SUIT OUR SELVES ,RATHER THAN GET IN AND OUT ALMOST IMMEDIATELY , Creating pains and shock to our selves and the immedaite child we may have bore in the 'affair'.

HOW MANY LADIES ARE RICH AND YET READY TO BE SUBMISSIVE(Not necessarily being a fool)??

This is naija my dear, we don see tire, many o f them even pretend loyalty but get in and become demons afterwards,

@BABE!, Thnx darling, you are simply fantastic

If you can sign a prenup, then you are free,

[b]@olaisrich, simple, they think that money can get them evrything, [/b]and that is wrong of them, THEY MAY WAKE UP WHEN THEY ARE CLOCKING 39

thanks for your commendation, at least i know we have people of the same school of tot here.
