mega city,commercial and industrial hub of the nation

No amount of planing can save Lagos when it comes to flooding, because it is seated below sea level. Over 50% of its land are reclaimed.
Climate change will continue to affect Lagos with respect to flooding.

Damn. Lahos State Government should be a real gee. This is why they should stop filling the ocean in the name of land widening. Lagos needs decongestion.

Nigeria has very serious drainage and waste disposal problems

This is a very serious justification for the government to collect another huge Chinese loan...I'm sure the National assembly is waiting to hit the gavel and approve it straight up

OP what dyu expect?? Nigeria is not even among top 30 African countries with the best roads...

It's that time of the year again.. Get your swimming kits ready...

I pray water won't carry all of us for this Lagos one day.

Rain is coming. Clear all the water ways this flood is always a result of our making why block drainage system Next you start blaming govt, govt. Stays in oshodi?

Omo see Igbo's small London, well they will prefer it coz its still better than gully erosion

You live in Lagos Island nd you don't av a boat then u ar on ur own.

Where exactly did you get your points from?

1.With adequate planning, Lagos can be saved from flooding.
2.Lagos is not seated below sea level.
3.Less than 50% of its land were reclaimed.

In fact, all your points are invalid, the problem Lagos has is with the drains and public waste disposal. The drains are too shallow. Netherland is a country below sea level and they found a solution to their problem. They built a lot of water channels, canals and dykes. So if Lagos is indeed serious about tackling flooding, let them follow the Dutchs footsteps.

Attached are pictures if water tunnels in the US. Compare it with what we have in Lagos.
The difference is clear.

This one is liquid Corona.

I knew this will happen...how rain be falling since morning up until now is what I can't understand

Na wah

Flood is a normal natural challenge with every nation, including the biggest cities in the world with advanced technologies.


The best our government can do is to build more canals and also encourage and enforce Nigerians to stop blocking drainage systems with dirts and debris

God help us... Make this rain just stop

It's a normal occurrence.
Lagos is just a too small for the load it's carrying

No mans land

You get sense.
