Lagos is a place many Nigerians want to be, there is money to make, dreams to be achieved. It can also kill your dreams as well.
This is one of the very few states in Nigeria that without federal government allowances, she can still take care of her bills. But there is only one problem, FLOOD.
Flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. Hydrology study
During the rainy season, Lagos is not a place to be at all. Whereas you can post beautiful pictures during the dry seasons, enjoy cool comfortable beach huts, you can't say same during the rainy season.
Behind Lagos southern borders lies the Atlantic Ocean. 22% of its 3,577 km2 are lagoons and creeks.
Lekki, which is still a work in progress is also an affected area. Victoria Island which is the money generating area ( beaches, nightlife etc) is the most affected when it rains.
Flooding is very common in this areas. It is very bad when you lose property to this kind of natural disaster. Even China have kind of problems too.
Who do we blame for this kind of disaster?
How do we protect the little children from this disaster?
In Lekki and VI, if one is not a good swimmer, then you really need a life jacket to get you through. As you can't do without it.
Many have started blaming the government for not doing anything about the disaster. I want us to know that, in such situations like this, you only hope for the best outcome. If you think am supporting the government, you are wrong. Take a good look at places like Mongolia, Florida, New Orleans and Brazil, they all experience this same problem we have here.
All should say at this moment is that the Lagos and the federal government should just prepare to work, because, the rainy season has just begun and they have to do something to save lives.
I also want us to know that we should work together with the government to save our lives and environment.
If you are not living in Lagos or you are not living in the affected areas. Please I beg you to pray to Almighty God or Allah (according to your religion) to save the lives of those who live in Lagos State and in the affected areas.
