Flooding in Lagos, Nigeria

There is a plethora of pictures and videos making the rounds on social media showing the flooding currently experienced by the residents of Lagos Island and surrounding areas.  It is really sad to see the destruction and damage caused by the flooding.

As usual, people are using humour and satire to deflate the severity of its impact on their lives. Similarly, there are articles and posts, most especially on social media, haranguing the government's incompetency and calling for the government to do more.

I am yet to read the government's effort in mitigating future occurances. Time to invest not only in infrastructure but on research.
