Popular influencer Enioluwa Adeoluwa has expressed frustration over the recurring floods in Lagos, saying even living in a prime location has not spared him from being trapped indoors.
He took to social media after heavy rainfall left his neighborhood submerged, lamenting that despite investing in a house in a prestigious area, flooding makes it difficult to move around.
“In this part of the world, money doesn’t guarantee comfort. You hustle hard, buy a house in what’s called a ‘prime location,’ yet the moment it rains, you’re trapped indoors because everywhere outside is flooded,” he wrote on X.
