lekki lekki you will think is another dubai but when you get there my brother that place is expensive for nothing,

Kalixx:


Yes it is a natural phenomenon but with proper planning, can be mitigated to a certain extent.

The first question you should ask is if the government authorized them to start building houses there.
All these property business owners keep acquiring lands and sell to people without putting the right amenities in place especially something as important as a good drainage system.

All they do is to allocate lands and ask you to start building.

Una never see anything!

Ugosample:



not in this case

This is a man made disaster

So don't blame the government. Blame the rich fools that decided to build houses in an area with no drainage system

Mescana22:
Climate Change Our Leeki bloodas, accept our condolences

Its not climate change. They decided to build houses &estates on swamps by land reclamation. Nature will always have its way

gurunlocker:
The suffering and smiling Lagos....

...........of Tinubu’s 20 plus years claiming progressive mega city.

Katier00:
Nawa o. Nothing works in this country

Including you, who has made no effort to make things work

NwaNimo1:
Lagos must submerge......sodom and gahmora things!

No mans land....

Where is Gamora??

gurunlocker:


Lol.... You made a tribalist comment, yet, you coward can't take a punch? You must be a pvssy? Maybe I should list the mod and give them rule 2 as well?

It covers your statement on tribe..... Pvssy!!!

Stfu and go to hell

ednut1:
The island is an overated slum. My friends estate where houses cost 60 to 80m

This is flood in London

Stop using every opportunity to talk trash about Nigeria

Mescana22:
Climate Change Our Leeki bloodas, accept our condolences

I condemn the actions and we are setting up a 12 man committee to look into the matter. After that there will be a 24 man senate plenary to deliberate the matters brought forth.

That's not Lekki Garden. I stay in this area. I know that place. That's the back of Lekki Garden. Lekki Garden is not flooded at all.

See Lekki-Garden below and compare that trash up there

Flooding is not a new phenomenon in Lagos, it is worsening because of human factors - filling of swampy and beach line, land reclamation by political god fathers.

not after every rain fall

Is this the so called Lekki garden?

nairafame2:

Just like the name Lake

Their lagos

ednut1:
not after every rain fall

It is also when it rain heavily in Lagos everywhere get flooded


It is only heavy rain fall that causes flood

Kalixx:


You think all of them there have money? Their money may come huge sometimes, but its not always consistent. Many of those houses are owned by banks and even close to foreclosure. Many of them don't own their properties outright unlike those in the mainland.

Many of them live in daily fear of losing their properties. And you dey talk say make them donate for drainage?

Lols....you are right bro.....you can't imagine how surprised i was when i saw a well dressed woman in lekki complaining bitterly on #200 food she bought from a road side food seller.....but not withstanding if flood pursue them now they will understand that the cost of prevention is far cheaper than cure....Las las....No be by force to stay for lekki na........land dey Abule egba...

paradigmshift:
overrated slum.

Have you being there before?
Inu Igbo lo ma ku si

We know the flooding is due to not only bad drainage systems bt the water level height difference of the area, however I’m more concerned why there are bushes everywhere like snakes can live comfortably in those bushes bruh.

Angelfrost:


They are waiting for Sanwo-Olu... The average Nigerian doesn't believe in the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility.

Yes o my bro, they are yet to understand that the only relief government sabi for this part of the country is to distribute rice and beans to flood victims....you talked about social responsibility, people wey no dey responsible for them house....but they are social media responsible (showing off)....dashing tacha money when they get family wey never chop and flood wey go soon flush them out.....Nigerians and misplacement of priority.

kinibigdeal:
Sanwo - Olu should resign

Na sanwoolu be rain or flood ?

Angelfrost:


They are waiting for Sanwo-Olu... The average Nigerian doesn't believe in the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility

CSR to the point of providing critical infrastructure which is the responsibility of the government? If after observing the CSR, should these residents pay taxes and levies of all sort? Which country does her citizens take on the responsibility of providing infrastructure which the government is responsible for? Why should residents be responsible for the provision of critical infrastructure even after paying taxes? How many infrastructure will these citizens provide since it's CSR?

So this is the bloody overhyped lekki.

Scatterscatter:


Don't make a public show of your ignorance.
Flood is a natural phenomenon

ignorance you say? This is man made flood. Poor drainage system and improper dumping of refuse. Take your frustration elsewhere dear

seguno2:


Including you, who has made no effort to make things work

I contribute my own quota

Man turned water into land
Soon it will return to water as nature intended.

Wait oooo, is that Canal or Normal road because I don't understand
