Flood returns to Lagos

The heat in Lagos in the last couple of months has been insane....so insane that you'd pray for rain. But then the rain comes, and there's flood. Awolowo Way, Ikeja was flooded this morning after a down pour (pictured above). Cars were submerged to window level, leaving a number of cars stuck. I think I prefer the hot sun!

    I want to thank God for this dream fullfilling and awesome moment in my life.. It has been long due, and I am grateful that God has kept me and you alive to see this day. I want to give a special S/O to -- RICHARD -- (I think dats he's name) my fellow "1st to comment brother" it is my turn today and I wish you are happy for me.. I will celebrate this moment, and also use dis medium to say this.. "May d lord almighty that did it for me, also do it to each and every one of you as long as u never give up... IN JESUS NAME!!!!

    I think it's high time Lagosians cultivate the habit of making their drainage free and clean at all times. Gov Fashola has done a lot to solve flood problems in Lagos, its left for us the masses to help ourselves.
