The residents of flooded Lekki, Lagos; are not in the best of moments as
most of them who were unlucky to be trapped in by the heavy downpour
occurring since a couple of days back are yet to come out of their
various residences.
This was confirmed to encomium.ng by a Nollywood actress cum singer, Ogoma
Obi who has been locked inside her residence at Babalola Estate, Lekki
Phase 1 extension since five days ago.
According to the Imo born thespian, it has been another world entirely for all of
them residing in the vicinity. She lamented the life threatening and
unconducive situation, calling on the Lagos government to come to their
rescue before things get out of control.
“My brother, we’re dying here. This is not a joke. I have been indoors
since five days. None of us can come out of our apartments. Even, we
need the assistance of the government and well meaning Lagosians and
Nigerians by extension to come out of this bad situation we’re in at the
moment. The situation is very terrilble. Vehicles can’t move. We can’t
even step out. No light, no water. All our generators have been over run
by flood. In fact, this is perhaps the worst moment of my life. It’s
like being in a cell. The worst thing now is that we have run out of
food, and we can’t move out. If I can come out of this terrible
situation, l won’t come to Lekki untill the end of rainy season. In
fact, I regret being in Lekki now. I have missed many locations, and
there is no hope we will come out soon because the whole place is still
flooded, it has not gone down at all. I pray God takes control.”
