The is almost a yearly occurrence View Point wonders why the government has not done anything serious about checking this menace. Shouldn't the management of Ocean View Estate consider doing something about the lack of drainage in the area to protect the choice property in the estate?
The Atlantic Ocean overflowed its banks at the Alpha Beach area today leaving residents of Lekki in a state of panic.

According to blogger Linda Ikeji, “The place is a mess right now. The sea is surging, everywhere is flooded and due to lack of drainage the waters not flowing out and people can no longer go there to have fun. This happens yearly but nothing is being done about it. Is there anything the government can do about it though?”
