I hope the people were warned before this occurred because our government at all levels love the fire brigade action. Sorry to those affected

This is really serious. I was in an area around Orimerunmu today. The flooding is terrible.
BTW, why should the dam be open in the first place and why can the flood be channeled somewhere else
This is heartbreaking because these flood is man made. It could have been controlled.

When people will not stop building close to river channels.
It is obvious all those houses were built in the river bed.

Just look at this:

Ikorodu ain't spared @ all, same crap.

we have many useless govts in naija

This ish has been happening since time immemorial

Why can't the LASG GOVT build a dam here to absorb the excess water, if there's anything I've learnt reading about the Netherlands history it's that there's always engineering solution to every problem.

Global warming
