Persistent rains in Lagos, especially in the last two days, have brought woes to its residents as they battle the impact of floods in the coastal city-state.
Whilst the rains lasted, cars were stuck in gutters, houses submerged and buildings with weak foundations brought down.
Although no life was lost in the resultant floods, residents yesterday lamented the untold hardships the rains had inflicted on them.
Following the two days of downpour, a number of roads were submerged, with areas like the Apapa end of the Oshodi Expressway was almost cut off by the flood.
Checks revealed that aside from submerged homes and commercial buildings, the floods also caused serious gridlocks that lasted for hours.
Also affected were pedestrians, who were stranded at different bus stops due to the inability of commercial buses and taxis to navigate the water logged roads.
Some of the affected areas in the state included Iju, Oshodi, Agege, Onipanu, Ketu, Yaba, Mushin and Abule Egba, Okota, Isolo, Ijora, some parts of Ikeja, Marine Beach, Ikorodu and FESTAC Town.
Also affected were some highbrow areas like Victoria Garden City (VGC), Lekki, Ikoyi and even some parts of Victoria Island.
