Tiannah Empire Warns Lagos Is Sinking as Reclamation Projects Block Drainage

Celebrity designer Tiannah Empire has raised concerns over worsening flooding in Lagos State. In a recent video, she argued that land reclamation, sandfilling and major developments like Eko Atlantic are displacing water without proper drainage channels or canals. She warned that continued neglect could lead to communities being swept away. She urged authorities to prioritise flood control, effective drainage and public safety before more areas are at risk.

It's worth noting that Lagos has always had drainage challenges, but these reclamation projects might be making floods worse.

I'm not convinced all the flooding stems from Eko Atlantic alone; other parts of the city also suffer poor drainage without any reclamation.

Local government should speed up construction of proper canals and community groups might adopt simple gutter cleaning routines to reduce blockages.
