You didn't say but including his name in the line up could be interpreted as such, as the others, except him, are dead.

That's the problem of the person that is interpreting it that way.

Serious traffic & flood at Chisco were the culprits. Also, a truck had fallen & blocked the lane for those turning back to Lekki and those going towards House on the Rock.

So, the Chisco intersection was ground zero, Chisco towards Lekki was free, & also Chisco towards Jakande.

[7:15PM] #Vi #TrafficUpdate

Vi is currently experiencing a pronounced level of vehicular congestion, precipitated by a substantial backlog of traffic emanating from the Chisco axis.

This has culminated in a traffic gridlock within our designated axis, encompassing key locations such as Akin Adeshola, Law School, Ozumba Way, Adeola Odeku, Adetokunbo Ademola, Ahmadu Bello Way, and extending to Eko Hotel through Oniru, with the stretch leading to Marwa Road inward being particularly congested at this time.

Our officers are actively on ground to manage the situation and mitigate any potential disruptions.

The Kusenla Junction (aka Chisco) on the Lekki - Epe Expressway was heavily flooded on Tuesday and this caused a massive traffic jam that stretched all the way back into Victoria Island. Many streets within Lekki and Victoria Island were blocked with traffic.

The flood came from a rainstorm that began in the morning after people had left home for work or school. The rain continued till evening time.

The situation was made worse by the fact that a container truck had fallen at that same junction early that morning and it had not been removed by the time the rain started.

The road was free after Chisco, but everywhere from Chisco to Victoria Island was completely blocked.

Tokunbo Wahab is the Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment.

Dear Lagosians,

We sincerely sympathize with all residents who were affected by the flash floods witnessed in parts of the State yesterday. We understand the discomfort and disruption it caused and we deeply empathize with those who were affected.

As a coastal city, Lagos is naturally vulnerable to flooding, especially during periods of heavy rainfall combined with tidal lock. Despite this, the State Government has continued to invest in drainage infrastructure, regular desilting, and enforcement of environmental laws to minimize flooding incidents and protect lives and property.

We must also provide clarity on some of the affected areas. At Kusenla, the challenge is technical: the downstream is about 1.2 meters higher than the invert of the existing drainage, as confirmed by the survey conducted for the ongoing project awarded by the State government at the end of Kusenla road which includes a pumping station. Around House on the Rock church, the flooding was linked to infractions we highlighted earlier; illegal construction on flood plains and dumping of refuse in drains. These kinds of activities worsen flooding and must stop.

We appeal for understanding and continued cooperation from the public. Keeping our environment clean, refraining from dumping refuse into drains, and avoiding construction on floodplains are vital to achieving a flood-free Lagos. In several of the videos shared yesterday, clear infractions were observed, and @followlasg will ensure that such illegal structures and obstructions are promptly removed. Including those illegal reclamations carried out without the requisite Environmental Impact Assessment Report and the Drainage Clearance.

We also wish to assure residents that the flooding was a flash flood in some parts of the State and has since receded this morning. The Ministry remains committed to strengthening our flood management systems, but this effort requires the support and responsible actions of all Lagosians.

Together, we can build a safer, cleaner, and more resilient Lagos.

Please relax.

I wish you all the best.

Thank you

The bot twice blocked me from responding to her, but that's OK.

As I said, I am still recovering.

I have eaten and taken my drugs. I have called the hospital to cancel my appointment. I'm not going anywhere and I'm not going to ar gue with anyone. I'm just going to relax.

Anyway, the heavy rains have started again and you'll need to consider whether you need to go out today.

This has been the situation since Monday:

On Monday there was a heavy traffic jam on Victoria Island and in parts of Lekki because of the Lagos State Government. The Government had announced that they were going to fix the Lekki Expressway, but that the job would be done at night. However, workmen appeared on the road on Monday morning and a carriageway was closed. It caused a massive traffic jam that affected places as far away as Ahmadu Bello Way. The workmen were removed from the road soon afterwards, but the damage had already been done.

Tuesday: There was a massive rainstorm in the morning after people had already left home. Admiralty Way and the Lekki-Epe Expressway were flooded. This caused a massive traffic jam that began around Jakande and extended into VI (ignore people that are talking about Dangote, the traffic jam did not get anywhere near there).

Some smart people waited until the flood had subsided and used the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge. Surprisingly the Bridge was totally free while there was a monster traffic jam on the Expressway. The traffic jam extended into Victoria Island, especially places like Eko Hotel, Akin Adesola, Muri Okunola and Ozumba Mbadiwe Road.

The rain has started again this morning.

As you know, I haven't fully recovered from my operation, so I have no time to argue with people that are not serious.
