A video of a foreign woman documenting her experience in Lagos during a heavy downpour has gone viral, sparking mixed reactions online.
Filmed in Lekki, she was seen wading through floodwaters on her way to a supermarket, describing the moment as “shocking and surreal.”
In the clip, she said: “Who said Africa doesn’t have water? So we’re outside. We’re live from Lekki and this is our life. The big boys’ life in Lekki. This is us just going inside the supermarket to buy drinks. Even in the supermarket there’s still water. This is crazy. Omo, wetin be this.”
Lekki, despite being one of Lagos’ most expensive areas, often suffers flooding due to poor drainage.
The woman’s video reignited debates about the city’s infrastructure. While some Nigerians felt she was mocking residents, others argued she was only sharing her surprise.
