Believe it or not, this is Emma Abimbola Cole street in Lekki Phase 1 in Lagos. And no, it's not sometime in rainy July, it's this evening, 6 January 2016.


The spot has been waterlogged throughout the harmattan and I don't know why. I'm getting pretty frustrated with it, because the road beneath the flood has degraded and is now very bad.  We hear it has something to do with a leakage of pipes from the water board which is very close to the bad spot.  Whatever it is, we the residents of the neighbourhood are quite frustrated with it, it's been so since I moved here almost two years now.


Please, publish this and shame the right authority into doing their job (it's a shame that that is the tactic tax-paying citizens have to resort to for basic amenities in Nigeria). I'd be truly grateful if you do. Thanks
