On Saturday, May 17, a heavy downpour caused serious flooding in the Ikate area of Lagos State. The rain left many streets filled with dirty water, making it hard for people to move around.
A social critic named Scott Iguma was driving through the area and decided to record a video. In the clip, he showed the flooded streets and the dirty water everywhere. He also captured people struggling to walk through the water because there was no other way to get across.
Scott shared the video online and mocked the poor drainage system in Ikate. He seemed surprised and disappointed that such flooding still happens in a busy part of Lagos. His video quickly gained attention on social media, with many people agreeing with him and calling for better infrastructure.
This video is just one of many that highlight the flooding problem in Lagos, especially during the rainy season. It’s a reminder that city planning and drainage need serious attention to avoid putting residents in danger.
