Social media users have shared photos of parts of the Mainland area of Lagos, including Somolu, Isolo, and Surulere flooded on Saturday morning.
The flood has forced residents to stay in their homes, unable to cast their votes in the Local Government Chairmanship elections.
Parts of Victoria Island, Lekki and VGC areas of the state had been flooded two weekd ago on July.

This flooding is becoming a nuisance
It has to be caused by blocked drainages
I pray no life is lost
For people who live in storey buildings in these areas, please avoid ground floors for now… ask your neighbours for help, advantaged neighbours please help them… put previous beef (if any) behind ehn…let them secure their lives and some key valuables in your apartment… this is a time to show love and kindness…bungalow folks, God will see you through
Let us make conscious efforts to keep our drainages flowing and free from garbage
So the mainland can get flooded too.
Lobatan!?
Lmao. Where are the Lagos mainland folks.
Hmnnnm so no be Lekki issue now. Na everywhere.
Lagos is one big slum.
