Lagos is an overrated dirty slum.

If you stay in Lagos or have been to Lagos you'll understand what I'm saying.

The place too dirty no be small. It is currently the most dirtiest City in Nigeria right now


Lagos needs to build a waste to energy plant

kingyakos:





It's not the whole world, it's Lagos and Los Angeles known for building towers on poor drainage environment.

Go to Calabar and see for yourself what's called drainage system and urban planning.

Lagos is dealing with the floods, it's mainly roads that flood,this can be contained with deeper, wider drainages, as well as irrigation channels, and redistribution of water.

obaaderemi:
These are effects of global warming and rising sea levels.
This is not Tinubu's fault, in fact he has made moves against it. Remember how flooded and impassable Ahmadu Bello Way Victoria Island used to be. But it's no longer like that.

But then more work has to be done. Lagos is a coastal city.
Anybody who chose to live in Lagos especially on the island and it's environs should be ready to face floods.
So this thread can not be used against Tinubu successfully.

The pictures below are of Germany. Does this mean German leaders are bad?

German flood, over 200 dead!

you not getting the drift that one man single handedly built and not just flood, it looks so unliveable

The sand-filling of the Atlantic Ocean at the former Lagos Bar beach to build the Eko Atlantic City without a proper EIA carried out has contributed enormously to this massive flooding.

Same with that of Banana island, etc.

I knew that this will happened because you can't push the water away from its natural habitat and you don't expect the water to fight back.

The effects of this started years ago by pulling down blocks of shops @ the NA Bonny Cantonment mammy market in Vl.

The Lagos state government should have developed and implemented a standard drainage master plan in these areas and their catchment areas to mitigate the effects that will come as the result of these several indiscriminate sand-fillings.

BTW, I'm not that "Narcissist" supporter cos he's good at name calling and always finding faults in everything.

The truth is, every single parts of the country is faced with one or 2 challenges. Attempting to castigate Tinubu for the flood in Lagos is senseless and very low.
We must not forget that Lagos is a very tiny island that is overcrowded. May be if the gala sellers, and used car parts sellers (all Peter Obi’s supporters) stay in Anambra or return to Anambra, Lagos will have a room to breathe.
It is not by force to live in Lagos, if you don’t like Lagos please feel free to return to the East.

Have you ever seen Abia state, or Enugu, or Anambra or any parts of the east during raining season?

GamalNasser:
This is why I get furious when clowns say Tinubu fixed Lagos ....which fix ? Lagos should be 500 times better if Tinubu hadnt captured the state

Hit the nail more harder


Hope you've burn your broom

To Sowore and d OP, In all fairness, Tinubu shouldn't be blamed for this.

First, Lagos is way too over populated with a very small landscape.

Second, many people living in Lagos are way too dirty, u drink Pepsi, Shekpe, Alomo bitters and throw d bottles on d floor, u also eat Suya rather than trash it properly u throw it into d drainage. Now tell me, why won't we have a dirty Lagos with all d above and so much more.

Stop d blame game, let's all be responsible for a cleaner Lagos.

lightskinnigga:
See the New York of Nigeria..

It’s sinking and no one cares..they rather throw juvenile tantrums about the eastern region

During dry season, you people will say you develop Lagos, during rainy season, you same people will turn around and deny Lagos. I don't know how you guys manage to be so jealous and bitter at the same time.

Lagos nor good and obi wan die for there?
Why obi nor go die for anambra

Patriotsleague:
Sowore the idiot, flood happens in USA, Europe, Asia, and every where else round the world.

Olodo, USA, Europe and Asia also have 24/7 electricity yet dummy like you would not compare those countries success with Lagos success

Brimstone77:
...

What an eyesore..

And these is the most developed state in afonja land that they won't allow us to hear word about...

Ask your people why do they keep flocking Lagos for greener pastures despite the dirts and floods?

Don't mind that scallawag, he's an expert in shifting blames

Why won't Lagos be flooded when they keep pushing the water from their natural habitat without a proper ElA and a drainage master plan in place so as the mitigate the effect of floods when they know that it is definitely that, that water that they keep pushing away will always stage fight-backs in due seasons.

lightskinnigga:
you had to drag Bayelsa into this?

Bayelsa was founded in 1996 (as your pic shows)

Lagos was a former port of Portugal, then the United Kingdom then the capital of Nigeria!!

Yet you have the audacity to call out Bayelsa?

Haven’t you learned anything yet?

Reinaldo:


I can believe a learned person typed this.

Post what you believe let's see your own IQ level.

This is an eye sore

Lagos is truly dirty

and what did TINUBU do to stop this behaviour ?
that's how you know someone that performs

Whatever you want to say about tinubu say it , if you like call him different kinds of names you cannot change our mind.

Corridon:
The truth is that Tinubu really destroyed Lagos but thank God for Fashola and Ambode for salvaging the little they can. Lagos is still a big mess.

You deserve an award. Gbam

your tears are sweet

sowore is now IPOB

The way people mention about Lagos and the bad state it is right now makes me wonder if they actually put something into consideration.. did we all realize Lagos is one the of the smalles state in Nigeria by land mass but yet the most populated in the country… when the numbers of people in certain place is greater than what the state can handle.. Lagos state have tried in many ways to flush out some people especially this one’s that hindering the growth of the state one way or the other ( the dirty ones) but they always find themself back in the state and if certain measures are taken to flush them out.. you’ll be fine to hear tribalistic judgement.. Fear Nigerians

I was never a fans of Lagos
That city is just overrated and dirty
I grow up in Ajah lekki so I know what am saying.

men it's the fact, i was going to visit badore a couple of days back, ooo boi that was the biggest mistake...... it was as if the flood that came out from the drainage brought out human feces with it... the stench was irritating....

then the flood inside badore that lingered a couple of distance, only to enter the estate and met a bigger flood.... ooo boi i was weak

Calabar has same topography with Lagos and once upon a time Calabar do suffer same flooding but a man called Donald Duke transformed Calabar with good drainage from the little resources of Calabar.
I've seen roads in Lagos, both newly constructed and old roads in Lagos without drainage system but you can never find such in Calabar.



If Donald Duke was the governor of Lagos State for 8yrs, i bet you Lagos would've been heaven

alizma:
With these pictures now, every blame will go to Tinubu because they believe he has stole everything in Lagos but when you show them the good part of Lagos, they will tell you not to attribute those wonderful part to him. Frustrated and confused people.

The worst thing about this attitude is that a lot of the reason why Lagos has slums is because of uncontrolled migration from elsewhere, much of it from the SE. No matter what new infrastructure is built in Lagos, it quickly becomes overwhelmed by the mass of indigent newcomers who see it as a Shangri-la where they can improve their personal prospects. If Lagos had China-style "internal passports" and mass deportations to keep out penniless migrants, it would look much more impressive, but the very same people mocking the city now would be the ones moaning the loudest about how the place should be a "no man's land" to which all Nigerians should be free to move.

kernniejay:

My people are everywhere not just Lagos..

The number of igbos in douala only is *5 the number of Igbos in you Lagos..

We are travellers not cave men..

Stop feeling funky!

Lol. Irrational hatred of others always leaves IPOBians confused to the extent they even confuse themselves.

What magic would Donald Duke have worked to accommodate the 1 million impoverished and under-educated migrants who flock to Lagos every single year?

Jonifi:

Nobody singlehandedly built anywhere. Tinubu never claimed to singlehandedly build Lagos. And Lagos has it's many downsides but it's not unliveable. You probably have some of your people living in lagos, if not you yourself.

God bless you. Lagos administrators are even miracle workers to be able to even keep the State working and moving forward considering the non-stop influx of people from all across Nigeria daily..

Lagos needs serious decongesting to be able to function optimally and be the best she can be.

Techstar:
The best state in Nigeria in my opinion is AkwaIbom State. They have beautiful cities like Uyo and Eket, very standard, neat roads, beautiful resorts, people don't leave their houses by 4am to beat traffic, nice and peaceful life with beautiful people and good food. They even have a public park, yet you won't see them make noise online. Lagos is good too, there are jobs and businesses thrive there. But, it is overhyped.

Akwa ibom still remains the best state in Nigeria

lightskinnigga:
This is Lagos where they told you is better than London.

Apparently, aba is doing better than Lagos atm

Your people doing business in Ojo, Alaba International, Ladipo Market, Festac Amuwo-Odofin, Ago Palace Way/Okota, Mushin, Ikeja computer village and other places produce the garbages that block Lagos drainages and cause the flood, tell them to relocate back home with all their dirts and Lagos will enjoy its peace again. Cheers.
