If you live in lagos, you might need a canoe to get out of your house today and this has been the case in the last 2weeks‼️ Dear @tokunbo_wahab, the poor state of drainages around Lagos has finally caught up with us. Residents cannot leave their homes without wadding through a pool of water. What are the emergency measures that are being taken to combat this terrible situation??? People are losing their homes and getting land locked, unable to commute because of the flooding. In this video, you can see a mother carrying her child through the flood just to get her to school‼️ 📍: Sabo Yaba, at 9am this morning. Lagosians, quote this tweet with the situation of flooding in your area! Cc: @jidesanwoolu @LASGWorks @followlasg

💧 When it rains in Rumusera, people don’t sleep; they watch the water rise In Rumusera Community, rainfall is no longer just a natural occurrence, it is a threat. Homes get flooded, families are forced out, and some residents are left to endure waterlogged living conditions because there is no functional drainage system. Yet, our tracking revealed that public funds were released to solve this exact problem. In October 2024, N19.5 million was paid to Ramfaiz Oil & Gas Limited for the construction of drainage/flood control under the Niger Delta River Basin Development Authority. Here we are 17 months later, with the reality on ground telling a different story: 🚫 No drainage, 🚫 No flood canal 🚫 No visible work done. Instead, the community continues to bear the cost of inaction: water entering homes, disruption of daily life, and health and safety risks. At a recent town hall held with the community, residents spoke with one voice saying "flooding has become part of their daily struggle, not because solutions don’t exist, but because projects meant to solve it are not delivered". Public funds were disbursed. A contractor was paid. An agency was responsible. But the people are still waiting. We call on the Niger Delta River Basin Development Authority to provide full transparency on this project and ensure immediate action. We also urge @officialEFCC and @icpcnigeria to urgently step in to verify, investigate, and ensure value for money. #publicfundsmustworkforthegoodofthepeople #Askquestions
