A video showing a driver attempting to drive his car out of a canal after it was swept away by floodwaters in Lagos has generated widespread discussion online.

In the footage, the vehicle is seen lodged inside the canal while the driver repeatedly tries to maneuver it back onto the road. Despite several attempts, the car struggles to climb out as a large crowd gathers around to watch.

At one point, several onlookers could be heard warning the driver to stop trying and not risk causing further damage to the vehicle. However, he ignored the advice and continued making repeated attempts to drive the car out of the canal.

After multiple unsuccessful efforts, the driver eventually gave up. He was later seen stepping out of the vehicle and walking out of the canal, leaving the car behind.

The incident has divided social media users. Some argued that the safer option would have been to hire a towing vehicle to pull the car out instead of risking further damage by driving it.

Others suggested the driver may not have handled the situation effectively, saying a more experienced driver might have been able to get the vehicle out successfully.

However, another group of commenters defended the driver, pointing out that the large number of bystanders surrounding the canal may have made it difficult for him to accelerate confidently, as he likely wanted to avoid hitting anyone in the crowd.

The video has continued to spark debate, with many weighing in on what they believe would have been the safest and most practical approach.

What do you think? Should the driver have waited for a towing vehicle, or was trying to drive the car out the right decision?

Pele ooo the fate of the furious!!

An AWD would have done that quite easily. But this car will struggle. Luckily there’s a towing truck waiting after he’s exhausted all his options.

The Nigerian masses are going through a lot

SUV chops petrol, more expensive to maintain abi? It is in this situation you see the advantage of 4 wheel drive.

He want to drive out his car out of the canal to the road with full speed where his enemies are on the road

Lagos is really dirty. They keep commissioning projects, yet they cannot clean the city.

This guy just want to damage his car

I can easily drive out here! Sometimes it's not about the car, but about the driver's experience.

Why do some people act like they have extra life at home?
See the people standing around the place like if the car runs into them nothing will happen. Even cows don't behave like this

Let's just have a good look at this little snippet of Lagos life. It's all about the little things, right?

That's because he is James Bond 007, nonsense

The govt will be so angry at the person who posted this place looking so dirty.
