Overhyped Lagos | Zero Planning

even New York City gets flooded. Human incursion into the ocean and global warming, Lagos is in hot soup in the next decade.


Funny thing is that the government is clueless on how to go about it. It has become an annual affair and each one is worse than preceding year.

Come and buy land in Nnewi Anambra State and build what you want with little or no resistance from the government and you don't have to worry about flooding

Lagos flooding is too reoccurrence, by now they are supposed to identify the causes and remedy.
Natural disaster can happen but that of Lagos is always predictable, Lagos can learn flood management from countries like The Netherlands situated in waterlogged area. Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands suffered a surprised flash flood 2 days ago, though there were initial warning of flooding but not to the scale that turned streets into fast running river and submerging houses, they are going to learn from it and fortify areas prone to such disaster. This what Lagos should have done long ago.

MrOkenwa:
I’m planning to modify the sizes of the windows on my ongoing build, and possibly create new windows.
Can this affect the structural integrity of the build?


Nope. As far as the work won't affect the concrete pillars or lintels.

Nigerians love bad news, so anything that will make them feel happy, they don't mind even if they are lies.

Some are already happy and mocking those living in these axis.

Funny enough @next shared the images here.

He's known to do well with accurate information, wondering why he goofed this time around.

he got the information same way all of us did, from the Nairaland FP.

But sha, we move

About the people who rejoice about the misfortune of others, Lekki axis is known to be for the rich so many people especially the poor rejoice when they hear such happens to the rich. It gives them this satisfaction that the rich has joined in their suffering.

Sadly, it's far from the truth. The rich man whose house was flooded last week might order new house makeover this week and lodge in a good hotel. Then owe his workers with the excuse that the "country is hard"

Indirectly, the poor are sharing in the same suffering they wished the rich

I also saw the thread on Nairaland but contacted some people around there to confirm first before anything.

All information are to be verified first before believing especially in this Nigeria of today.

We know how fake news are making rounds of recent.

It is still Lagos sha!

Pls note that my caption reads “Overhyped Lagos | Zero Planning.” I have not said it happened yesterday, 10 years ago or hoping to happen In the future.

Na una dey give my message your own interpretation. “The Lekki poor vs the Lekki rich grin” “The unverified fact” “The unregulated social community”

The fact remains the pictures shared captured the Lagos we all know. #

Another fact remains, you can’t know a baby more than his mother. grin

I’ve lived in flooded Lekki.
I’ve worked in flooded Lekki for several years.
I’ve owned properties in flooded Lekki
I have businesses in flooded Lekki.
I have raised a family in flooded in Lekki
I’ve been around since Lekki/Epe road was a single lane road grin grin

Flooding is an inevitable constant in Lekki. Take it or leave it!

Things don’t get messy here bro unless it’s coming from people like us. That’s a #fact

You can see how a simple caption from me is already generating controversy. That’s how things run here.

I already told you “Nothing will happen” and almost 2 weeks later “Nothing has happened.”

Why?

No one really care about you here except it’s coming from a person of interest or they just want to do their usual aproko grin
There and then, you’ll see a page or thread on the topic.

Be yourself, everyone else is taken.

Spend good time talking to the parties directly involved or get a more matured forum member to help you mediate offline.

Spare yourself the worries. The jesus you seek is no longer here.

Well I am the one that introduced the said borehole guy, I thought I was doing a Favour not knowing the idiot has become a crook overnight…


First he was the one the that did mine even as at last week the Borelhole stop functioning… I don’t know the cause yet. Base on what he did for me I also recommend him to two other people and he did a good job for them as well.

I am a product of recommendations here and there and i was just playing my part not knowing that this will turn out badly, I have reported him already at ojota police station.. for now that’s much I can do.

And sir, I never knew you were not on ground to monitor what he was doing that time, not matter how someone suppose to be on ground to check him, and when he claimed that his machine has fault, you shouldn’t have allow him to take all his equipment out of site since the job is not completed…. Now like I explained to you on WhatsApp the balance of 50k won’t do that job.

So let me know how much is owing you with transaction receipt so I can render it at the station.

Thank you

Thanks for clearing the air sir.

@micgray100 I’ll implore you to exercise a lot of patience on this matter. There’s absolutely nothing the online brouhaha will achieve if you and @twinskenny don’t handle this maturely.

He did what he did in good faith. The fact that a fish got drown in the water doesn’t mean we won’t stop eating fish or drinking water.

________

@twinskenny
I’ve been in a similar situation and I know boreholes get level and the type of equipment you use varies as per report.
Unless I’m doing borehole in Lekki which any amateur can handle without worries, I cannot recommend anyone for borehole installation again. I stopped taking borehole jobs since 2013.

Even the borehole done for one of my client in Ibadan in 2018 has very low yield and my client is already considering having a new one or sink a well. I was like “What a waste?”

Sorry for all the inconveniences this might have cause you both. This is just one of the many issues we face with subtrades.
