from your writeup you aren't confused, if you need sedan, buy the ES if you need a SUV by the MDX

Its an suv.not cuv. Stop following google

Let me ask you a few questions?
1. Do you travel often (interstate)
2. Do you travel alone or you travel with family and if yes how many?
3. Do you carry a lot of baggage when you travel?
4. Is fuel economy a major concern to you? Can you spend 10k just to cover 280 miles? Or you prefer to spend 10k and cover 350 miles?
5. What is your budget for maintenance per year (oil, belt, brake pads etc?)

If yes to 1, get the MDX.
If yes to 2 and above four family members, get the MDX.
If yes to 3, get the MDX.
If yes to 4 but no to 3, and 2, get the Lexus.
It costs more to maintain the Acura than to maintain the es350. You have the timing belt with all the attendant rollers and water pump, the regular engine oil, transmission oil every 30k miles, differential fluid every 30k miles, transfer case fluid every 30k miles and coolant (don't know the interval now).
So on these few points of mine, you can make a choice.

Thanks for your advice. I barely drive around in Lagos. I just need a change of car and I want something that won't bore me in d next 5 years. My initial fear was the gist that V6 sedans usually develop gear problems.

Who told you that nonsense?
Both are nice cars. Since your commute is mostly in Lagos which is prone to floods, get the MDX.

Personally, I like the es350, it was my preferred car before I stumbled on the MDX. Still have a soft spot for it.
