Good morning Stella,i read one of the stories on your Blog about Jakande Ajah Flood.Even did not cover my side.I live at Labora in Abijo,Ibeju Lekki Area.
As you are reading this now we left home with just some few clothes.The Flood rendered me and my family homeless now.The Jakande you posted is child's play compared to my area in Labora,Palmsbay Estate,behind G.R.A Abijo.
Stella I thank God me and my family were able to Escape o.Please post and let Gov.Ambode see what we are passing thru o.see attached pixs.

@Anonymous Orubebe
@Anonymous Orubebe you no go kill me o. Na only your Aunt pot of soup the rain see? Hope you never chop by then? Mainland all the way.
DeleteIts a pity. Town planning i believe ended in Jakandes time. All the new areas are just free for all. They dont have GUTTERS. A street in an area like this should have gutters on either side of the road and deep gutters inside. But alas. These neighbourhoods sprung up haphazardly, everyone doing their own thing while the town planning ministry was chopping toothpick. Now here we are.
DeleteHmmmmmm my condolence dear
ReplyDeleteNa wa oooo. Mainland better pass some areas oooooo.
This is serious, na wa ooo
ReplyDeleteSorry oh
ReplyDeletebad to know

People need to understand that Ogudu gra, magodo gra and Ikeja gra also parts of opebi and an estate can't remember the name around oregun are just as expensive and even more expensive than places in lekki and oniru and I'm saying this as a matter of fact.
DeleteYou rent a 2 bedroom from 1.5million upwards
Kai, What a sight! Sooooo sorry!!!
ReplyDeleteRead somewhere that there was flood in suleja that killed peoplr
DeleteYes o Swaggie! Saw that too. Na God hand we dey!
DeleteOMG!
ReplyDeleteThis is terrible!
Chai! Soo sorry for all those going through this.
Eeyah...... sorry dear
ReplyDeletehmmmmm it is a pity. You people were just building and building without taking congnisance of having drainage.
ReplyDeleteMy former colleague that is staying there. What is the name Alambe or what, i wonder how he will feel.
His own he fishes everytime there is rain in that Ajah that he stays.
Comfort to you guys. The rain has stopped today. I pray everything goes back to normal.
Today the traffic was light, am sure most of the people were at home drying their clothes and other stuff
Gbam. Exactly what i said. It is to go back to the drawing board in these areas. And this flood is NOT A NEW THING. It happens annally. Common sense should make people proactive just before rainy season. If government no clear ya canal. Biko call ur neighbours to call their neighbours. Hell call aboki, get anyone. Just get the gutters and canals deweeded, dregded and cleared. Even a little. If everyone went into this frame of mind, it would never get this bad. This is where the central govt system has failed. If people were able to hold their local government chairpersons responsible and suffer them directly ni. They would be performing better. The local governments should have a better role to play than having ghost workers and playing ten ten
DeleteNa waooooo.may God help you
ReplyDeleteSo many pictures.kpele .it's been happening for years but doubt if anything can be done.
DeleteThis is really sad, not funny at all.
ReplyDeleteGod will see them through, but compared to what happens to my family in the early 2000s in PH, the water in our living room was at the knee level, I'm not lying, and that happened consecutively for 4years, and because it was our home, everytime it dried up (takes 4/5 months), we have to go back and clean up. It wasn't funny, or easy, we had to live in a school. Smh. Thank God for life sha.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahaha
DeleteSorry I had to laugh
It's just so funny😂
O.M.G!
ReplyDeleteThis is very serious!
This is so sad. I can only imagine.
ReplyDeleteNa wa oh. This kind flood make e no go carry person oh.
ReplyDeleteOh so sorry dear, i hope Lagos state get to see this fast
ReplyDeleteAwwwww sorry
ReplyDeleteThis is seriously serious
You people built in water ways and tot you can cheat nature.Not even Considering drainage systems...!!! Solve your own problems.....jare
ReplyDeleteExactly, how long do they think it will be before the waters come to to forcefully take back it place.u chased it from it rightful place wia do u want it to go to deal with it pls
DeleteFinally!!! And for those that will rent those houses close to elegushi, better be careful
DeleteWow! So sorry. Imagine, all that will have to be washed and dried later or stuffs that have to be thrown away
ReplyDeleteGod will protect you all.
ReplyDeleteYou see what I was saying about those mocking some areas of nigeria about having erosion. Life is not a bed of roses . Natural disaster can hit anyone . Note: we have properties at the island, so I am not immuned from this.
My point is, rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those whose mourn. Do not laugh over people's misery.
Your English na wa.
Delete14:03, I know dear. Not just my English, but speech generally. I spoke at 8 years!
DeleteOur office was flooded too. Kofo Abayomi precisely. Island is overated abeg, i couldnt believe my eyes. To say we just moved down here....
ReplyDeleteAbi o!

ReplyDeleteHope the raining season pass.
And they continue to build in these flood prone areas. Sorry, I can't invest my hard-earned money to go live on swamp land just for the sake of name.
