| This Guys Car Was Submerged Heavily Yesterday In Lekki Apocalyptic Flood . Uber by HEAVEN4444(op): 11:43am On Jul 09, 2025 |
So yesterday night I felt like eating chicken and getting my vitamins so I called Uber. I already knew it was a bad idea because it was raining very hard. Anyway we got to a point where the water on the streets in this particular area was like 24 inches tall. It got to the window level and all my feet was wet inside the Uber as water had seeped in and was like 3 inches high in the car. I knew at some point the car was going to be damaged. I dont even think he would be able to start that car again cuz the starter is totally submerged . Also the engine was totally submerged. I think the car may be a write off ? I was feeling sorry for the guy cuz I know his car was gone. He had to drop me off in the flood and said he can't go any further. I walked all the way home in that heavy flood water up to my thighs under heavy rain. Hey guys is his car a write off ? Will many engine components be damaged ? |

HEAVEN4444:First, raising this here shows you have a strong conscience, it’s safe to say you’re a kind person. Checking in on the Uber driver’s car to know the vehicle's current condition is perfectly reasonable. And if you are able to determine the occurrence of any significant damage, offering any layer of financial assistance would definitely be a welcomed gesture. |

Nnaemiemax:thank you very much. I appreciate you. I would like to know the condition of his car, can I get his phone number from the Uber app ? |
| Re: This Guys Car Was Submerged Heavily Yesterday In Lekki Apocalyptic Flood . Uber by HEAVEN4444(op): 8:07am On Jul 10, 2025 |
Ojukwu4real:It was a Toyota Corolla. Very nice inside. You can tell he takes care of his car |
| Re: This Guys Car Was Submerged Heavily Yesterday In Lekki Apocalyptic Flood . Uber by Nnaemiemax: 8:14am On Jul 10, 2025 |
HEAVEN4444:Yes you can. Just check the history log in the uber app, you would find the contact information of the driver. Welldone and God bless! 🙌 |
| Re: This Guys Car Was Submerged Heavily Yesterday In Lekki Apocalyptic Flood . Uber by HEAVEN4444(op): 8:17am On Jul 10, 2025 |

I don't understand is the headlamp of the vehicle not working? 1. Driver should know and see objects floating in the water, the type of object (plastic dustbin etc) has already told you the level of water a sedan can wade in. 2. The headlamp will tell you the water level is dangerous. When water is covering the headlamps desist from moving further. 3. When water has engulfed your vehicle to a dangerous level, switch off ignition even if you can't park to oneside. Anything that makes water to get close to the bonnet is dangerous for air intake which will send water into the engine. 4. He should have seen other vehicles and objects by the road, immediately he shouldn't have enter that huge level of water. If he switched off the car, it would be okay as long as no be salt water, he just need to check all fluid, if water has entered he will drain and refill. |

HEAVEN4444:And what if he lies to you that the vehicle is kaputt, while it did not suffer major damages. How sure are you sef that the car is his. |

Afromentalist:oh it's just an inquisitory and humanitarian gesture. Nothing more. Just to find out if the car is alright. I can recommend a great mechanic too and some guys who are experts in drying out wet cars. I have used these services before and they were excellent. So maybe I can recommend these guys. That's all the call is about |

nurey:I have seen cases where flood water destroy the pistons as they try to push against the force of water . Not sure if I am making sense |
| Re: This Guys Car Was Submerged Heavily Yesterday In Lekki Apocalyptic Flood . Uber by Ojukwu4real(m): 3:59pm On Jul 10, 2025 |
HEAVEN4444:If it’s a Corolla then it can still be salvaged bcuz the engine is very strong |
