Recently flood has been rampaging the riverine area of Lagos, vehicles, properties have been destroyed and many rendered homeless. Those that can't afford to evacuate the flooded areas as the Nigerian metrologies department has warned due to inability to secure a new and saver place to stay still live in their flooded homes. As it is the responsibility of the government to evacuate this citizens to a safer place until the flooding crisis is resolved.

Few years back when the same flood crisis arose, the government headed by Fashola evacuated some of the flood victims to a safe camp till the duration of the crisis. It was reported that the former president Goodluck Jonathan visited Owode Ajegunle Lagos area where the site where the flood was prevailing the most and he also stopped the Lagos government from not taking over the property of the poor flood victims as we learnt that the Lagos government was then interested in taking over that particular area. The flood victims hailed and praise the Ex President for protecting their land and property. The ex president also added he had once lived in a house surrounded by water which led to a loud cheer from the audience.

It was reported two days ago a young girl was electrocuted, a bare wire accidentally fell into the water where the little girl was and right away the poor child got electrocuted. It takes a proactive government to listen to the plight of the citizens and take the necessary action. The pictures bellow were flooded streets, and home and before now they were all dry lands.
