Landinvestments:This is not really news. You have a standard sized plot. In the same compound you did a borehole and a septic tank, sometimes not far from each other. On top of that it rains and the floods carry all sorts of waste into your compound and mixing it all together. |

I don't know if it's the entire Lekki, but where I was staying at Oniru, there was no way I could drink the water, even after boiling |

Overhyped Lekki. Well the LASG should help provide a better way. Maybe urine water would be far better. Mouths dey smell for Lekki o Shit water shitz ![]() |

Omo, this is terrific.... You can't dig a borehole to get natural water in a land that you pay millions if not billions to acquire. |

And where is the pipe-borne water that you have provided? What alternative have you provided? Water board and the ministry is there doing nothing to provide this basic amenity (same story in other states though except for a few parts in the North). As a Nigerian, you provide your own water, electricity, security, schools and even construct your streets. Dear Commissioner, please do the needful so you can the moral justification to advice hapless 'Lekkians'! |

I absolutely don't doubt this Even as far back as 2010 when l worked there, the water was browner than Milo chocolate and smelled badly We never even used it to flush toilet much less any domestic uses In fact, we relied on water trucks for bi-weekly supply till l left the place Ikoyi, especially Osborne Estate doesn't fare better either I guess it is the price to be paid for proximity to the river .. |

Coming from the same shameless Vagabonds In Power (VIP) who couldn't fix the WATER CORPORATION COMPANY to supply clean water to our homes. I would have spat on you people but spit don finish for my mouth. Shior! ![]() |

People in that axis arguably pay the most in individual income taxes in Lagos. So what is the LASG using their tax money to do? The Lekki Epe expressway has lots of large holes in the road. Flood drainage is a serious issue. The Agungi axis road where my friend stays is always flooded all through the year even during dry season. The 2 nearby canals don't seem to be working. Overgrown with weeds and not even cleared or plastered with concrete. Or is it because the entire Lekki-Aja axis did not vote for the governor last election? What is going on and when will Nigerians say enough is enough? |

Even the flood you see on the streets is diluted shit water. I always wow at people who wade through the water. My friends very rich next door neighbour pumps his sewage directly into the gutters, when it rains, it gets distributed all over the neighbourhood. No government inspection No town planning compliance team No public health officials |

Op add Ikoyi (Bourdillon) and VI to the list. All those Lagos Island is a well of shit. I pity those investing in Atlantic city. Nigeria government lack maintenance culture. Just visit FESTAC and know what would befall Lekki in 10 to 15 years time. |

MightySparrow:Most “boreholes” are actually deep wells. Most cannot afford the cost of a proper borehole. most developers of small housing units especially in the Lekki axis will cut costs so in that respect the commissioner knows what he is saying. |
