Guess what I’m about to say 🤭.
It’s another lovely rainy day.
chances of flooding are high.
take a lot of pictures and send them to the appropriate agencies and commissions.🙂↕️
Pictures are easier to attach. Videos are good for sensitisation.

@tomiadesina_ and her neighbors' struggles with flooding are what inspired the Lagos Flooding Action Guide. We're grateful to her learnings from submitting a complaint to @LasgMOE. Now we can help others do the same. https://t.co/WWChG1G4Cd
Lagos has been teaching me about water: what it gives, what it takes, and how much of that we are actually choosing.
New essay + a campaign for this year's rainy season.

💧 When it rains in Rumusera, people don’t sleep; they watch the water rise
In Rumusera Community, rainfall is no longer just a natural occurrence, it is a threat. Homes get flooded, families are forced out, and some residents are left to endure waterlogged living conditions because there is no functional drainage system.
Yet, our tracking revealed that public funds were released to solve this exact problem. In October 2024, N19.5 million was paid to Ramfaiz Oil & Gas Limited for the construction of drainage/flood control under the Niger Delta River Basin Development Authority.
Here we are 17 months later, with the reality on ground telling a different story: 🚫 No drainage, 🚫 No flood canal 🚫 No visible work done.
Instead, the community continues to bear the cost of inaction: water entering homes, disruption of daily life, and health and safety risks.
At a recent town hall held with the community, residents spoke with one voice saying "flooding has become part of their daily struggle, not because solutions don’t exist, but because projects meant to solve it are not delivered".
Public funds were disbursed. A contractor was paid. An agency was responsible. But the people are still waiting.
We call on the Niger Delta River Basin Development Authority to provide full transparency on this project and ensure immediate action. We also urge @officialEFCC and @icpcnigeria to urgently step in to verify, investigate, and ensure value for money.
