Flood in Lagos: Advice from the state government

The Lagos State Government has advised residents in flood prone areas to relocate for the next two weeks to avoid loss. They also advised people to stay home when it's raining heavily!

Really? This nonsense is the best the govt can say? Stay home and use their teeth as food when they and their children are hungry?
What a country! Slaves and the masters in government!
Then they'll be advertising to put people in jail for not paying taxes!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR THE PEOPLE.? Useless government!

Please I am willing to offer my services to any woman that wants to transport herself from one place to the other just like the picture above (sick joke, I know)
No mind me abeg. Anyway, I hope and pray this rain stops as it's affecting a lot of families. I hope the government can provide more than just advice for the less priviledged people to relocate as it's not easy and would require even more funds. Which family member nowadays will accommodate another man with his family?

They are advicing people to stay at home when its raining.....very funny idiots! Instead of the idiots to call for work free day and make it compulsory they are here ADVICING peeps to stay home when its raining. So that when you stay at home, your office will now issue you a query for not coming to work based on an advice from God knows who...Just like what happened last year in one of those shitty telecomms companies that goes around bragging itself as the biggest in Africa...where some did not come to work cos they were stuck at home due to floods in their area and the management wanted to sack them based on that but later gave all the affected staff warning letters....puhleaseee! Federal, State, Local or whatever governments....get your acts together.

Stay home om their flooded homes?!?!? This is what happens when people take shortcuts, I'm sure whoever was awarded the contract to construct the drainage systems did not do a very good job!

What a country! That makes all things become defiled. Have you guys noticed that that's a Moslem woman being carried with her thighs and all exposed? Isnt that against the Islam that Raji fashola calls himself? Smh....useless president, clueless governor....troubled people!

What have the FOOL of the govt done? Which shelter are the providing? Relocate from where to where? Let me not pronounce any curse on them.

-I hadnt finished before the last post went! How can they tell people to stay at home? Wasn't last year's rainy season like this? With Atlantic Ocean becoming guest inside people's homes? Is it rocket science to drain a conurbation like V.I, with exit access to the sea? Lastma, V.I.O, Flower Planting, Painting a bridge white and black etc This directive by Government is an Absolute Disgrace! Fashola has failed us - for 6years on this issue!!! You do not have my vote!

Loss of what? Life or property? So if we relocate the rains won't fall abi? Besides where in this lagoon(lagos) is not flood prone?

Anonymous said...

Where will they relocate to,and to stay in the house when raining..lol...with this kind flood...anyway I don't pity Nigerians o.we are the ones responsible for all the flooding problems.it will not stop till people stop building on the roads meant for drainage..ride on

Nestor said...

When will people start thinking reasonably for themselves? Nigerians please stop looking up to receive from the government, and when you do receive, just thank God. If they didn't even tell you, shouldn't you know that it's for ur safety that you stay at home till ur safety is guaranteed? And please, always stock ur house for emergencies, no matter how little. I know we all want our government to sit up, but while they are at it, lets take good care of ourselves. Thank you.

All of you have to write letters to the government and demand for better drainage system.

This government should be ashamed for dishing that sort of advice out... Where should the whole lot move to?
This is not worth discussing. Until they put physical measures in place to solve the problem, we should just try to stay safe and put our lives in Gods hands.

Thats a really stupid thing for the govt to say but in a way i dont blame them. The way these people build houses withiout any gutter is alarming and den d yeye govt has no drainage channel to connect to

If these flooded roads were tarred and drainage was functioning perfectly, these houses won't be flooded to this extent.it still balls down to the government's responsibility

LAGOS STATE GOVT DO SOMETHING AND DONT GET INFECTED BY THE GEJ-SYNDROME OF NEGLIGENCE

@willadebo

The weather forecasts we're accurate. Pple were supposed to stock food and stay indoors. This has absolutely nothing to do with govt's failure except in places where there r no drainages. But even in such cases u shldnt still blame dis govt cos Lagos had a master plan which was discarded eons ago. When they start demolishing all the illegal structures it's u pple dat wld still shout and wail.

Fuck SHARIA.....Home boy liftingup Alhaja with her PUNANI on his neck..Drop the mothafucker inside the smellin water and let her drown......HATER! O ya E la enu sile

All that Fashola is doing a great job is all bull shit if the govt is not out there with makeshit canoes and plastic rafters to move people around.

It is embarrassing to see these photos in LAGOS of all places with all the hoopla about the great job that ACN is doing in Lagos. In thr country side in the U.S. we all see how the local fire fighters and their emmergency agencies come together and ferry people from point A to point B.

In LAGOS, men a carrying women on their heads and all the govt can say is for people to stay indoors or relocate till the flood is over. What an utter nonsense. What happens if that man slips and falls, both could easily drown.

Am seek and tired of all these propaganda about govt doing this, that and the other.

They need to come up with a plan when it comes to emergencies. Ya'll remeber the fatal Dana crash where the plane was left to burn for three hours becsuae it was too hot for the firefighters to get close. No water, not enough manpower.

And you guys want to go nuclear for electricity. The entire nation will die of radiation if God forbid it there's an accident.

This country is full of bullshit and misplaced priorities. The rains are not going to stop anytime soon.

PLEASE IF ANY OF THE REARDERS ON THIS BLOG ARE CLOSE TO BRF, THE SUPPOSEDELY OVER ACHIEVING GOVERNOR, PLEASE ADVISE HIM THAT LAGOS IS AN ISLAND AND BELOW SEE LEVEL, THEREFORE, HE NEEDS AN URGENT PLAN FOR FLOOD EMMERGENCIES OR HE CAN TELL HIS STUPIDEST GOD FATHER, THE THIEF AND FORMER CAB DRIVER IN ATLANTA GEORGIA, TINUBU TO PLEASE LET HIM COME UP WITH A PLAN FOR EVACUATIONS IN EMMERGENCIES LIKE THE FLOOD AND OTHER DISASTERS.

cash or wot do u call yourself,not only dat u are suffering from brain poverty,u are also suffering from kleine levin syndrome,u are sleeping and i believe u are writing ur comment from a dream , why should u compare natural disaster wit man carelessness,if we are to blame this people, dat shows government must ave done there right, most of them dont ave anywhere to go to dan to be there,after all: man must chop, can u imagine wen dis stupid people call Nigeria leaders dont care about wot happen to their citizen, abeg,make GOD just bless every one of us to get to our dream destination so dat we wont be looking onto government before we lead our life. ALL IS WELL
