A torrential downpour that began around 12:20 p.m. on Tuesday submerged Orchid Road and several adjoining estates in Lagos, leaving motorists, commuters, and traders stranded.
The rainfall, which lasted for hours, caused severe flooding that affected Ocean Bay Estate, Victoria Crest III, and extended to the frontage of Buena Vista Estate. Normal activities along the busy corridor were disrupted as residents and road users struggled through the rising waters.
Motorists navigated cautiously to avoid their vehicles stalling, while commercial motorcyclists and delivery riders waded through the flood to continue their services.
Traders hurriedly covered their wares as water pooled beneath their makeshift stalls.
Speaking with The Nation, Ireoluwa, a resident of Victoria Crest III, lamented the stalled roadworks. “The drainage system has filled up. Although they started repairing the road, they stopped, and I don’t know why. The slope makes the water gather here,” he said.

A fruit seller, Dogo, blamed the drainage system, “The drainage is either blocked or doesn’t exist. The water has no way to go, so it gathers here and flows into the estates.”
The situation triggered gridlock as vehicles inched cautiously through the flooded stretch, while delivery riders and schoolchildren were seen pushing their bikes against the water current.
Residents have called on the authorities to urgently repair the drainage system and resume the abandoned road project, warning that the flooding could worsen with more rain expected in the coming weeks.
