[Close to] Igando-Abaranje footbridge, [there is] continual flooding due to the tiny size of the canal. The single canal here serves as exit for waters coming from Bakare in Ikotun LCDA, Abaranje and Igando and the size of the canal is just a little bit more than a gutter. Even the Foursquare Gospel Church in the next street is flooded. This happened just this morning.

Whenever there's heavy rainfall, the canal gets full and the water finds its way through to the streets.

I have sent emails and letters to the Lagos State Ministry of Environment, but there has been no response. Our gutters here are not the issue and nobody here dumps refuse in the drainage because I know that'd be the first question.

We urge the Lagos State Government under Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode to come to our aid and construct the canal once and for all.

There's a lot to be done by the government I tell.you. You hardly see public facilities being maintained properly, even by the government. Thank God LAWMA is trying.

More reason Lagos is referred to as the State of Aquatic splendour ...


@Op, sorry eh, the best bet is to resort to self-help, expecting the LCDA or the State government to move in to ameliorate the situation will be like waiting for godot. Una go wait taya ...

Sorry dear was drenched too this morning

This is typical of Lagos.

We can't possibly construct a canal linking 3 major LCDAs in Alimosho local government ourselves, can we? We've done our best sir, but the canals are just too tiny and left unconstructed because they see this place as a rural area. . .

Perhaps you're too foolish to read up. . .

Has anything GOOD and SENSIBLE comes out of her nazareth?

Is this the situation before you relocate to the site or it something that started after you moved in?

Let's contribute something pleaseee

Eko oni baje oh.......

Flood ke... How can u show some undeveloped area and tag it as a place in Lagos? Even if its in Lagos, that is just an unkept area. Keep waiting for the government.

Eyah! Keep disturbing Lagos State Ministry of Environment and whoever is representing your area in the State House of Assembly.

See you,

Igando is all you see, go to other areas and you will be amazed!

And someone somewhere is praising Fashola...smh...Lagosians are veiled with propaganda

better

As at 1996 that I moved to Igando, those places your house is Located are not land to build houses on, but just swampy forest that stretches from Igando to Abaranje/Egan/Akesan/Obadore down to Iba. I blame the people that bought land their, the greedy people that sold the lands and the government that aprroved the buildings.

God help us.

WHAT VILLAGE IS THIS?

I ONLY SEE TALL TREES AND GRASSES

I DON'T THINK THIS IS PART OF LAGOS

this is semi-flood na
