Water no get Enemy.

That statement is obviously a scam.

Na typical African proverb wey no dey get meaning for real world! No bi water destroy the entire world in NOAH's generation...?

The only problem we have is 30 days power outage

No flood here at ijede

What is happening in Lagos state is it because the builder has moved to abuja?
I am sure he did a perfect job before he left because money was not his problem

Flooding is a natural disaster. It happened in Dubai, America and even in any advanced country you can think of. Lagos is a coastal state, it is expected.

Flooding even occurs in part of the North where rainfall is not usually as heavy like in the south... It is an act of nature. So many erosion sites in the East all due to flooding.

This is the lagos tinubu built from a scratch, the state he created from ocean and this is how he's building the country...in the other thread APC chieftain said that tinubu government is more terrible than buharia, that a former federal minister but hungry people are the one supporting the failure of a government.....

Lie full that man & him party (APC) head eh

Lagos is a glorified SLUM..

Gheto of Africa.

I cannot buy a house I will live in Ikorodu, Mowe, and other parts many average Nigerians build homes. Rather, I will buy a flat in well structured area and share a compound with others. Sure, having a house in Ikorodu and other places like that will just be for having a structure sake which will serve other purposes. The rent is nothing, and I may keep the house empty for years till I get real use for it. And if the value shoots up such that I can fling the property to buy another in a better location, I will not hesitate to. Living in unstructured areas is a piece of headache. The citizens are the worst set of humans there.


Who are the innocent citizens? The ones who built houses on the drainage?

can you name these "structured areas"?

are "structured areas" immune from flooding?

on which drainage did these people build their houses?

Run from Lagos oooooo
Go back to your States or other states it's better.

This is not possible wit a lagos who foundation cement n block was laid by tinubu

Take everything disadvantage as an advantage

You could use that as an advantage to learn how to swim

That was how I learned how to swim at the age of Ten. By 18 I became professional.

When it's time for everyone for himself and you see a river ahead, OYO na your name if you no fit swim

What are property taxes used for when proper channels are not constructed to protect the properties you tax from flood. Abi you will use boat to collect tax from properties damaged from flood?

Imagine sleeping on the floor, only to wake up in a pool of 'river'. The shock can cause a heart attack 😭😭.

Archimedes Principle is very clear. For every vessel containing fluid, if you add weight into it, fluid of the same weight or volume will have to give way.

This is not the first time in history that Lagos have witnessed such amounts of rainfall. As long as the city has good drainage to empty into the lagoons, there ought not to be this magnitude of flood. It rained for 48 hours in many locations in the south but there are no reports of such flooding.

The idea of filling up the Atlantic to build a city still amuses me. There was always going to be repercussions. All over the world, congestion of cities is a problem solved by vertical expansion. Trying to create land where there is none, thereby disrespecting water, is a recipe for disaster

Really sad 😢

Dey Dem talk say tinubu go tame Atlantic ocean. Hmm

PigTormentor:
Have you never seen floods in other parts of the world? Just focus on your erosion-ravaged jungles.

Yes, he built the Lagos that una dey run to daily with polythen bags.

Yu must be from ekiti slums to ever think Tinubu built lagos...I was born and bred in lagos...I am even more lagosian than u and your lots

E pain this one die


See how mothers of those who own Lagos run to Lagos

Guestmale:
Ignorant couple with hatred are great disease, have you been to those areas and know whether they can survive a heavy rainfall of more than 8 hours continuously.

Somebody who tamed the Atlantic Ocean can’t tame the rain?

Hopefully when more demolish happen in Lagos we won't such developer wailing anynore since you have all moved to Abuja.

Proper planning of road, drainage, canals and a good waste management systems with tasks force to ensure compliance is necessary

Hopefully you will be sharing same comment when this happen in Anambra, whixh should be vwey soon.

I don't want to sound insensitive.....but seriously, one can imagine what dis people r going through abeg.....for now, I'd overlook d cause n offer my pity to dos innocent citizens who r made to pay dearly for our clueless government n her silly policies

Ijede near big river

Gustavowhite:
Fake news

Tinubu built Lagos and nothing of such can happen there,this must be Anambra or Imo State,now he is busy building Nigeria

Tinubu the builder

Each n every LG chairmen in Lagos as performed beta than your best governor in the last 4 years.

Afrobasic:

Nigeria does not have government, that's why these things happen. Civil servants don't do their work of oversight and town planning.

I must apologize, but it’s honestly infuriating to feel sympathy for victims in these situations, especially when they are Indigenous residents who ignored simple advice.

Years ago, I visited a community in Nasarawa State and witnessed locals recklessly constructing homes on waterways. When I attempted to discuss this concern with them, their responses were disheartening; many even questioned whether I belonged to their community! It’s maddening to realize that the very Toto community I once warned against building on waterways—and urged to seek higher ground—has now been devastated by flooding.

Currently, I'm in a riverine community in the South-South, still shouting warnings about the dangers of building on these hazardous waterways, yet I face the same frustrating resistance.

It seems that those who lack exposure to these issues can be incredibly difficult to engage.

Nonetheless, I will continue to raise my voice, hoping that those who are willing to listen can avoid trouble.

I have yet to see anyone who has fought against nature emerge victorious.

Adaumunocha:
I am sure it is the Consequences of that coastal highway

Just sit down and be SURE from looking at your phone screen. what a stupid statement.

It's not a scam, what it simply means it that, when you block the water channel, it will come and dwell with you instead of running away.
