After two days of heavy rain, Lagosians are sharing on Twitter their flooded streets and homes.
One Twitter user wondered why the metropolis is always flooded any time there is a heavy rain.
“It’s 2019 , and for a Mega city like Lagos when it rains we are all in trouble . Flood, traffic commotion . I dare not enter this flood with my suv, talk less the car”, Abayomi wrote.
Well, we have an answer: most parts of Lagos, Victoria Island, Lekki axis, Lagos Island are below sea level. So rain water has no where to go, if there is no proper drainage.
