Residents of Lagos have experienced gridlocks on their way out of their houses after a heavy downpour in the early hours of Tuesday Morning, September 9, 2025.
The rain, which has brought flooding in many parts of Lagos, started the previous day, which was on Monday evening, while commuters and others were on their way home from their various places of work and business.
The effects and impact of the rain continued on Tuesday morning, thereby causing gridlocks, traffic, and slow vehicular movement.
The rain has also affected the routine of residents in Lagos, slowing down commercial activities and restricting the movements of people on the roads.
The drizzling nature of the rain has also discouraged some residents, commuters, and a few businessmen and women, who are yet to open their stores to start the business of the day.
However, hawkers on the streets and roads have rather decided to use the situation as an opportunity to sell those goods to people in traffic.
Another unfortunate situation is the fact that most people going to their offices to resume work are currently delayed in traffic.
