For so long, Lagos state has had its issues with flood despite government and residents effort to combat the flooding that characterizes the rainy season.
While some parts of Lagos have been able to find respite, many others still wallow in agony over the effect of continuous flooding in their areas.

A few suburbs of Lagos do not really have a problem with the rains, but most of the others on the mainland and deep into the hinter lands  experience much flooding when the rainy season gets into full gear.
Life within these places become very unbearable for those who live within these areas, their worries range from the embarrassment the floods cause them.  For some, friends and family cannot visit them due to the road situation, for others there are fears that they might wake soon to see themselves afloat in their rooms. As the floods are becoming that catastrophic.
