The town planners had already taken bribes for the buildings that were erected. Besides, those planners were not even qualified like the people of Venice in which buildings were erected near rivers since 450 AD. Buildings in Venice are still standing but in Lagos, under water. The difference is clear.
Sorry for those homes that are flooded; hopefully the government will act swiftly to mitigate the situation and assist its citizens. The flooding is happening globally, especially to construction next to the water , below sea level, lagoon, or water pathway. Everyone should investigate the area for flood before building and purchasing.
I remember some 28 years ago before this Lekki boom started, a German company that lost out on the contract bid to develop Lekki made this statement that Lekki will be flooded because it is below sea level and the Lebanese Chagouri brothers they gave the contract to did not dredge Lekki against flood and started building straight away. Now you see the results.
There is no home grown engineers but sub contacting to foreigners from Germany a first world and a third world Lebanon. Do 230 million people lack what it takes to make their system work?
@@nnfefe9451 To answer that question, tell me which university in Nigeria where a meaningful research has come out in the last 30 years. The President, Governors and senior politicians all send their children abroad to study. You wonder why? So where will the local breed engineers come from?
@@wellswaterllc-ji7nlabeg keep quiet if you don't know what to say, because someone will just wake up in the morning and decide to build house from start to finish, with nothing! Just like that!🙄😒 where have you seen in Lagos where someone builts without paper work from government
II could have told you that before you cleared the land for building. If you cut down the whole forest that was there where do you think the water will go. It not a matter of drainage it's a matter of senseless urban engineering. Trees hold the water, if you cut down all the forests there the ground will not be able to take in all the water and the result is flood.
@@ownahometv I was thinking to invest in Nigeria because of the future. But I have doubts. Alot of issues in Lagos. Floods, demolishing, etc. To much stuff going on there!
It does not help that everything is covered with concrete. There is no earth or grass to soak up rain, then added to that the lack of any drainage system. People still have boreholes and cholera is a problem. I was looking to invest in Lagos property but after what I saw on a trip last year there I was disappointed. Nigeria just does not work. Let me keep my money in UK and investigate Ghana, South Africa 😑😑

Just know that Ghana recently has been demolishing buildings of American investors and as for South Africa, I don't think anyone needs to be told about their xenophobia. Lagos is not the only city in Nigeria. Any little thing, Nigerians give up on their country. Badagry does not flood. Ogun state does not. Abuja, port harcourt. Ibadan. Asaba Delta State, rents go for millions too.
Stop building on drainage like you do in Igboland. Build anyhow, see anyhow. Abi and Anambra also doing demolitions houses, why are you obsessed with Lagos? 👋👋
If you want to live in Lekki, just add a boat to your collection of vehicles.
😂
😂😂😂
They built houses where water is supposed to go through. Town planners and developers need to bring an end to this nonsense!

2034 , Lagos shall be returned to the Atlantic Ocean. Its below sea leavel not good for investment in this era of rising sea leavel.
Goverment should develop places like ikorodu, it is far far better than all these fake places
What makes it fake?
They only have poor drainage systems why calling them fake???
Is it only in Lekki you have seen flood or you re not current ?
Govt? Your not tired of govt development after 64yrs of failure? Will you live in ikorodu when the jobs are in lekki? Will you afford transport?
Tinubu the Lagos you build is fooled you want apc to rule edo again you lie apc is dead in Nigeria you are dreaming
😂😂😂😂😂tell them ooo
Rain never start well, and it's flooded like this. Ok ooo

Thank God for shangotedo down to epe
Come to Ogun state let's build it together.
Una never even get better road😂. Sometimes I wonder what Ogun governors have been doing with their finances.

Their Lebanese, not Indian.
And these are the same Brothers that were awarded the contact to build the Lagos - Calabar coastal road. Good luck with that..

Lagos will merge in water totally I. Few years time
Please, next time show less of the anchorman. You cantent can be better.
If Lekki is like this, what happens to other places in Lagos?
Just imagine sewage water mixed up with the flood '' Ayanma ".
De play I saw worst in Bayelsa. Flood isn't funny at all, all sorts of things are inside the water
They said the govt is working on it. Idk how true that is. This is not cool.
The houses their demolishing, plus they have to clear and rebuild the water drains and canals around the state
You guy's have build houses everywhere and if the government wanted to pull down some structures now,people's will complain again
Oga sharap.
No be govt deh give developers permit???
@SuperMyckie do you have the documents to show for your statement?
We're was your govt when they were building it, didn't govt have town planning minustry?

The problem with Nigeria is that contractors build serious projects without the necessary planning and permission.

Why did Lagos government sell those lands and collect money?
Ok now you all know why demolition in Lagos island and nothing to do with Ibo period
Same problem every year, and nothing has been done.APC next level.
The worst part of this, is that this is supposed to be the highbrow area of Lagos
This our Nigerian business men in government.
I live on the island. It is well oooooo.

You deleted my reply to you. Lol! Do both.
Rubbish
Thank God the Igbos don't own the heavy rain that floods Lekki, else the Governor would have "demolished" it.

Most of the houses has to be removed in other to give way to the erosion but people's will complain if they start doing that
