It’s called a drainage system. Fix it.

No drainage or poor drainage, the water has no exit back into the ocean. I pray there’s no tsunami in Lagos.

Lekki, Lekki, Lekki! If this is Lekki, then it is nothing but a Glorified Fishing Creeks. The beauty of every environment is it's all season roads. What is the guarantee that Lekki will not one day be submerged in water?

Clean water indeed but how do people go about boosting that Lekki is the best place in Lagos? When it’s senior Ajegunle😢

How??? Where in mainland looks like this after 24 hours of rain fall

Its not only to lay crude oil pipes to from portharcourt to kaduna and lagos. Nigeria should lay pipes to move water from Lagos to Enugu. Enugu needs this water.

The drainage , even the once available are so shallow to contain such flooding. Its time the government start making space for drainage, larger drainage.

Ogeni not only lekki, many places in Lagos is flooded, lekki better now at least the road is good

The water is not going anywhere, is sinking the soil and the land. Lagos is sinking…all these places would be under water in a some years time…

With proper management nothing like this will ever happen. For how many years now we ate still complaining. It should never be happening to "new Lagos" #corruption

It's so unfortunate.This could happen partly because of a poor drainage system and laxity on the part of the area management.l am also certain that some people like most places in Nigeria,do throw in debris in the drainage thereby blocking the passage when it rains.We have long months of rainfalls every year and precautionary measures should have been put in place.I also hear these are rich neighbourhoods.Ain't fair to invest so much money to then find oneself in such a mess.

Nigeria, where NOTHING works!

Is the government looking into a drain/sewer system so that the water has somewhere to drain?

Lekki, Lekki, Lekki, everybody you ask I live in Lekki, so this is the so-called Lekki, ... the sea will certainly reclaim its territory and if you look at the video you will find out there is no side gutters, so why wouldn't there be flood..

Great drainage system is in place in Lagos, but due to the high level tides and rivers overflowing, there’s a pushback of water from these rivers. There’s little to be done really. 80% of houses are built on waterlogged lands. Lagos is water. Gotta start allowing these waters to start going through the oceans and nearby states.

Most of the floods are as the result of inadequate drainage systems. Some parts of Lagos mainland is the best to have a house without the issue of floods during the raining season.

It is not mainly inadequate drainage system but the fact the citizens, estate developers and Govt didn't do the right thing uniformly when constructing buildings in a part of the city, the Island that's below sea level. Many don't even build gutters at all, they don't sandfill the land to the required level before foundation is laid etc What else do you now expect when it rains heavily?

Lekki is the Yoruba word for Lake…. Go figure. Lagos houses 12% of Nigeria’s population but the other states aren’t doing anything! Nigeria needs more “Lagos-type” cities. If the US only had NY it will be in a bad state. You can’t have about 10,000 people move into Lagos daily and expect the infrastructure to sustain it especially with the type of governance at the center. Most Nigerian youths dream of living in Lagos and never hold their state governors accountable.

A rich man living in a poor infrastructure country is still a poor man, including African richest man, this shows that building sustainable cities go beyond aesthetic of paved roads and over inflated houses. The flooded water is clear and might have come from the ocean, this is the so called Lekki hence I am looking at Namibia and Botswana with well plan western infrastructures.

Regardless people have freedom from financial extortion and social restrictions in those so called poor countries. There's really happiness that comes with nature and simple things of life in those so called poor countries. Pursuit of materialism cut people's lives short.

People have built houses on drainage channels, many do not give room for Government / canal setbacks. Lots of Govt drainage / canal infrastructures have been vandalized by vandals, environmental infractions i.e. improper disposal of waste such as dumping of refuse or waste in gutters or drainages during rainfall, waste generated and dumped on the road & gutters as a result of street tradings etc results into flooding of this nature. Lagos no doubt is a coastal city with aquatic splendour but our estate developers needs to do the needful. They should at all times obey the environmental rules and laws while building their estates. They should obtain building permits before embarking on building and obey the terms given to them on such permits. They should also do background check on lands they intend to build on and obtain drainage permit. There is also need to conduct Environmental impact assessment & soil tests on the lands they intend to build in. Above all, Govt should intensify efforts on enlightenment and advocacy. People need to be educated on all forms of environmental infractions. While Government itself should desist from and discourage Land reclamation. Water bodies should remain as water bodies and Land as Land.
