“How can somebody pay N10m to be staying at a flooded place.” – Lady laments after heavy flooding submerged residential area

A lady has expressed frustration after waking up to discover that heavy flooding had submerged the area surrounding her residence following a downpour.

The woman shared that the floodwater rose to knee level in parts of the compound, forcing residents to wade through the water.

She noted that her own apartment escaped being flooded only because her compound sits slightly higher than neighbouring properties.

She also lamented the condition of the neighbourhood, questioning how residents could pay millions of naira to live in an area repeatedly affected by flooding.
