“It is the economic hub of Nigeria. Lagos generates more than 15,000 metric tons of refuse every day. We have low-line areas where people are not supposed to build houses but Lagosians go there to build houses.
“We have wetlands which serve as reservoirs to retain excess floods but Lagosians will defy the law and go there to build houses. To make matters worse, some Lagosians dump refuse inside our drains or canals. Some build houses on our canal setbacks making it difficult if not impossible for us to clear the drains. We need to change our habits to help us have flood-free Lagos. Lagos spends huge amount of money every year cleaning canals and aligning many of them with concretes.
“We will reduce flooding issues if we behave ourselves. Flooding is a global thing due to Climate Change. The other day, I witnessed massive flooding in Sidney, Australia. You need to see the casualties. We will continue to do our best in matters of flood management in Lagos. We are appealing to Lagosians to help us,” the statement read.Emergency Responders rescued three persons from a Lexus Jeep that was swept away by heavy flood around Oyatoki area of Agege, Lagos.All rights reserved.
Notice how he attempted to share the problem with the flooding in Sydney. Why are these guys like this? Do something and stop shifting and allocating blames.
Joe Igbokwe is a talkative but not a workaholic .
Ofcourse, it won't be complete if they don't mention another country that's experiencing flooding.
Stop st trading now beggars yellow buses thugs etc
Lagos is a coastal city? Hahaha! As if Lagos is the only coastal city in the whole world. Oga, take responsibility for your ineptitude and lack of ideas to address flooding in Lagos.
Giving excuses up and down with Billions of taxes and returns.That's the Lagos they claim they built as if Lagos was a poor state before they were born.
Ayobo-Ipaja to Command link bridge was covered in water yesterday. It's a sorry situation. A bike and a woman with her baby was washed away in Akute yesterday. Source: Faji fm What a country! What a state! What a people! What a government!
Imagine the excuses! Lagosians and God that made Lagos state a costal state are the reasons for the flood.

Apology accepted...

Reserve your apology till September... Yesterday rain was just an preamble. The main body is coming soon.. By then, the whole Lagos will be submerged. .thank to Tinubu for building Lagos
Did Lagosians vote his aide?
Joe Igbokwe, being the SA to Sanwo-Olu on Drainage systems, should be held responsible for this menace. All he knows is to talk rubbish about IPOB. Thank God he isn't in Igbo land (to add to the number of our bad leaders there)
Foolishness
