This does not limit to Lagos Alone. It can happen Anywhere this also happen in some part of Germany last week, it even happed in more developed city in Europe. Can we say house built there are not well planned when building them?. This is Due to climate change, the weather is not predictable for now.

So, you're comparing an obscure town in Germany to a major district in Lagos, Nigeria? You just compared Germany to Nigeria because of flooding?

Anyone who doubts what BABA did in the times of Noah should repent and ask for Mercy.

Folks! What we are seeing now all over the world is " Testing ! Testing" GOD is testing the Mic all over the World.

If you Have hope on Government, technology, your Pocket or whatever, you are totally missed it!
This Ship is Sinking !
The Life Boat is JESUS Christ.
Just as Noah and his family were Saved in the ark. JESUS is set to Harpazo His Children outta here. If you are left behind, it is unfortunate.
All that is Needed a Genuie surrenderness to JESUS Christ.

A major reason this country is underdeveloped is because we tend to link all problems to religion. Just so you know, you are portraying Almighty God as a villain while coercing people to religion.

Ha ha ha a lot of angry people on Nairaland these days. Enjoy your weekend, and maybe try to get laid. You sound so agitated and upset.

Anyway, I do agree that science is not for everyone, meaning that people who never read are best left to enjoy their bliss. Hope you get better.

You are just blinded.
Let me tell you the fact, even when rapture is happening, science would still call it climate change.
Even when you don de enter hell fire, you will still call it climate change. That's how bad Education has eaten deep into your head.

Because the elites in Nigeria are hardworking when it comes to making money but when it comes to building legacies with their monies, they're lazy. That's why the vast array of slums in other places in Lagos and other economically viable cities are left alone while everyone is rushing to the underwater environment even though ordinary good drainage system, we cannot construct.

You see, our problem is not just the government, Nigerians themselves are quite poor in thinking when it comes to building good structures for residences etc

Interesting viewpoint. A herd mentality appears to motivate Nigeria's moneyed class. Follow the herd. If the herd is building homes and offices in areas subject to devastating flood inundation, build with the herd. If the herd is driving around in Rolls Royces that make them prime targets for kidnappers, follow the herd in a Rolls Royce and damn the consequences.

If the herd is grazing on gourmet food to the point where they become clinically obese and thereby reduce their lifespans by decades, follow the herd and feast with gluttonous abandon until a body mass of 300 pounds is attained, then follow the herd to the hospital for treatment or obesity related death.

I intentionally read most of the comment looking for you particular comment but you were no where to be found. But when it come to creating and inserting fear and intimidating gullible people with any bad or an unfortunate news you will appear from no where like a red headed vulture. In fact guy you and your BABA that did whatever in times of one useless Noah are Idiots!!

"There is a thin line between science and religion". Very thought-provoking observation, that.

I will think these words over while enjoying some fragrant bud.

It was a disaster as most areas of lekki phase 1 were nearly engulfed by flooding which emanated from the heavy rain that fell on Friday 16th of July 2021.

People's home, properties and the major road which leads to ajah, lekki free zone and epe became dangerous for motorists and even the pedestrians.

It is no joke that the power of water knows nothing about high building, bungalow, luxurious hotel and cars, or neither does it respect individual status.

Some European countries have recently recorded numerous death resulting from the incidence of heavy flooding. May we not have such experience this year coz it seems the raining pattern of this year might be very unfriendly.

Flood is normal in Lagos because of the flat terrain which is almost at Sea level.

During IBB era, a popular musician released a record on Lagos flooding - You say you no know you go know, when time don come you go know, water dey Ajegunle, water dey maroko, etc.

The flood this time around is caused by drainage blockages. All the drainage system at Broad street and all the streets at Lagos Central Business District are blocked before the raining season. The same thing is applicable at Lekki, Amuwo Odofin, in fact, there is a collapse of environmental sanitation system in Lagos. Drainage system is blocked everywhere in Lagos since AMBODE era. Every street at VI have blocked drainage system.

AMBODE era created a dead sewage and environmental sanitation system in Lagos. SANWOOLU and his deputy have not cleared the backlog environmental sanitation liability left by AMBODE government. I see dirty and blocked gutters everywhere in Lagos. The recent flooding is not because the sea is filled to the ground level, hence the heavy downpours is at sea level, NO. It is because the water route to sea is blocked.

SANWOOLU and his deputy should focus on clearing the drainage system.

Righteousness2, this is not a religion issue, but environmental engineering and physical planning issue. I was at Lakeview Phase 1 estate, Amuwo Odofin on Friday. From Apple Junction to Okota, it was a sea. Drainage blockages. Some people even thought Lagoon was trying to claim the area . Four years of drainage blockages caused this problem.

One day, water might permanently submerge some parts of Lagos. Those who live around areas like these should be very worried. I hate water with every fibre of my being. This is not living.
