See opportunistic entrepreneurs at work! Whao. Industry springing up right before your eyes.

Apart from the canoes (which the people definitely pay for), entrepreneurs without canoes are carrying "passengers" on their backs and shoulders! Jeeeesu!

The sad epilogue is that once the rainy season is over, both the people and the government will promptly forget about the pains and learning from the preventable flood and go off to play.

The rain was very bad,the first picture is the bridge at Alagbole where the whole place was almost submerged in water,the petrol station there always suffers this same fate every year because our people would not stop dumping refuse in the Canal there.......Altho the ogun state govt is the most unserious in terms of both road rehabilitation and drainage the people are also a contributing factor in the flooding that occured yersterday...

virgo:

Akeem Akinloye, one of the youths who gave our correspondent a ride on his back, said he had made enough money than he had made in a while.

He said, “I charge N200 to carry people on my back and today I have carried over 15 people. Who knows, may be before the end of today I may have carried over 30 people and make over N5,000.
