Media personality Enioluwa has voiced frustration over the regular flooding that renders homes in supposedly prime Lagos locations unusable, saying residents buy luxury houses only to find themselves “trapped indoors” whenever heavy rains strike.
In a post shared on social media this week, Enioluwa described buying a home in one of Lagos’s much-sought-after neighborhoods only to be confined indoors because floodwaters made roads impassable. He lamented the irony of investing heavily just for mobility and normal life to be compromised by preventable infrastructural issues.
These complaints echo recurring stories from residents of areas like Lekki, Ikorodu, Victoria Island and other coastal or low-lying zones who report that water levels rise fast, drainage systems are blocked, and relief from Lagos State Government comes too slowly, if at all.

As Lagos enters a season of heavier rainfall, the government has urged property owners not to block drainage channels, and in some cases, ordered removal of offending structures. But many residents argue that more proactive drainage maintenance and planning are needed, especially in high-investment districts, if flooding is to be meaningfully addressed.
