The heavy rain has made many parts of Lagos to be submerged with water and I was in Adelabu street in Sururlere Lagos when the rain started from around 10.30 am and it poured heavily close to 7 hours and this is the aftermath of what I saw immediately I came out of my study class building.

i could not even see the road no more and I had to swim my way in the water which was up to my knee and many residents around the area also have to stay indoors, as the streets have been totally flooded and residents could not move out without entering the dirty waters to get across, so as to get to their destination.

Houses were flooded around other areas of Surulere as well.

Knee? Means say you short gaan o.

There’s need for deeper underground and closed drainage system in Lagos. That would cushion the effects of flooding.

This is child's play compared to what Germany, Belgium and UK is experiencing.
May God save us from these disasters.

Those complaining of lagos being a slum, overhyped, yen yen yen. Pls i haven't seen anyone that's ever sold their properties in lagos and booked the next bus to their village but i ve seen alot of ppl sell their lands and took overnight bus to lagos lol.

in other news, are you with little funds and wondering if it can build you a home and make you a landlord, then lets talk. I want to be your architect

Ok
The rain that was supposed to fall in Oba was redirected to Lagos

The street has always been like that anytime it rains.

You'll open mouth 'waaaa!' only to end up spewing rubbish. Germany, Belgium, UK etc experienced a lot worse, lost hundreds of lives as a result of flood just a few days ago yet you all were quiet.

Jesussss and one idiot is in the other thread comparing south Africa with Lagos, even with the dirt south Africa is way ahead
We should stop this foolish comparison and accept the fact that Nigeria is a failed state.

And we remain a failed country till we divide this country into southern and Northern Nigeria

If Adelabu can be submerged like this then only God knows what would have happened to the suburbs of surulere; ITIRE to be precise.

This is seriously serious!

Welcome to Lagos : A state of Firsts in everything. Even in flooding!

GOVERNOR Sanwo-Olu, do something biko,
We don't wanna hear stories that touch!

nawa oooh... endtime rain

Be like say you don't watch foreign news. UK, Belgium and Germany worse when flood catch them. Cars sef land on top house.

Lagos is terrible

Over hyped how?
Continuous downpour of several hours will bring this about anywhere.
Not everything should be condemned please!

Seriously

Very crazy day for lagosians.

After spending 5 hours on a journey of 40mins, I still had to pass the night at the office.

As I speak, every where is still blocked with traffic.

Dunkia man...by birth by origin....lasgidi, Nigerian's that hv not been to Lagos is half naija, come hia to complete ur citizenship

And I thought most mainland don't suffer flooding.

It is a natural something. Even European countries share a worse fate

Is “over hype” why there has been over 125 deaths (and counting) thus far in floods in Germany?

Forget whatever drivel Dotard Trump was vomiting, Climate Change is real!

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated

Nigeria is gone
Pls know one here should disgrace his ancestors
By comparing this rubbish poor drainage and dirty environment flood problem
To what happened in eroupean countries of late

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated

Wawelexy:
...... Over hype as in? US, UK, e.t.c also experience this

Ogbeni calm down
Don't even compare this rubbish to what they are facing abroad
Cos if those kind of flood happen here in Nigeria
With our improper irrigation and drainage system

Lagos won't even survive it
Don't compare apples with oranges nah!

For crying out loud
This just few hours of rain nah.
No stream overflow or any accompanying natural disaster oga
