Below is a video my friend who's living in Lekki Island sent me last night and that's the road where he's living that got flooded. You can practically swim the water. facebook_1657471982905.mp4 1.06 MB · 0 downloads Expand This is devasting, how would the resident commute and go around their daily activities when the roads are flooded. I think a lot of economic activities around that region would be on hold for some Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It's been a horrible experience for people that are living in that location because it's going to be very difficult to do anything. It's even those that are working I'm having much pity on because I can't imagine how they are going to be able to go to their various offices.

Expand I can only imagine, I have never experienced flooding though I live in a region with high rainful starting from late April or May down to December in most extreme cases only gives breaks for a month or two maybe.

Justin11 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Today I watched a video here in my locality where flood crowded the whole street, only for it's subjects to swim around the river and find their way to their house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The constant raining almost messed up the Salah celebrations for Muslims here but it's kind of dailed down a bit. Although, the funny thing is that there's been a lot silly videos online on some drama people had with trying to kill their rams and cow for the celebration. Let me see if I can get some of the videos. You're going to laugh yourself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatman Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 The cops raided our block today with information about some guys doing drugs. Luckily for me I wasn't around otherwise I would have been arrested alongside all the guys in the our block apartment. Every guy from 20 years up was arrested. It was a crazy day down here.

Expand That's mental but what kind of drugs were they doing? Also, why would they just randomly arrest everyone on your block? Shouldn't they have some suspect in mind?

Expand It's often the case when a raid happens on a suspected drug den or dealer that everyone in that dwelling get's arrested on suspicion of being involved. If it becomes clear that any of those were not doing anything wrong or just happed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, they'll likely be let go. Still, to arrest every adult male who was in the block, not just the targeted home, seems a little extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That's kinda what I'm saying, just arresting everyone on the block who is 20 and up is rather extreme. I know that they'd arrest some suspects in the vicinity of a residence during a raid but how do they know all the suspects are 20 and up? Then again, places like the UAE do have an extreme justice system. I mean, if you default on a loan there, you'll face prison time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The justice system and cops here don't care much about human rights. They do just about anything they feel like when they are given orders to do so with no consequences. It's been a year since a lot of people were killed by security operatives (our military) at Lekki Toll Gate because they shutdown the toll gate protesting about the bad government and police brutality. Till date, no investigation has been done or the shooters brought to justice. Although, most of the guys arrested have been released after being questioned according to the one's that got back. It's about 5 guys that are still presently in their custody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It's a shit show down here and every day acts of terrorism by Boko Haram that are sponsored by some politicians in our government keeps going on rampage. It should be about a month ago that they invade a church in one of the states here on a Sunday morning and killed so many people and left some severely injured with gunshot wounds.
