Veteran actor, Kayode Olasehinde, popularly known as Pa James, was badly affected by the downpour that Lagos witnessed on Monday as his house was flooded.
His son, Samuel Ajirebi, shared photos and videos of the bad state of the veteran’s compound on his Instagram page.
According to him, it is not be the first time Pa James’ house would be flooded, adding that the government had not done anything despite repeated pleas for intervention.
His words;
“S E R I O U S L Y S A D RIGHT NOW I get to think at times that we are have a government in this country?” Look at what I met on going to visit my family today. A flooded house due to the overflowing canal behind oqqqur street.
“To make matters worse, none was at home save my dad. So,the old man and I had to be saving properties and scooping water out of the house!
“This year makes it ten years of repeated and consistent occurrence of this with severe damages done annually to properties, at times leading to temporary displacement! Letters have been written, tv appearances made, press releases written, still no significant step taken by the government to channel the overrunning Canal…. This is not a sympathy plea for anything, but a call to The state and local government authorities of Lagos ( @akinwunmiambode and @jidesanwoolu ) Oke Odo LGA respectively to please wake up to your responsibility and stop making citizens suffer in neglect! We need Governmental intervention in Oke Isagun Community of Oke Odo LGA!
“We lose properties! We lose rest whenever we see rain signs! Tonight is going to be a partial prayer moment for families, because it must not rain tonight…. No house for us to sleep in anymore!
“This is sad and heartbreaking!
