The Lagos rain feels like a whole different experience from rain anywhere else. Do you know why?
Well, that is because, Lagosians go through a lot every rainy season, and we stop to ask ourselves, “E dey normal to do”?
If you’re still confused on why people in Lagos feel the rain a little more than others, here are some reasons why:
1. Your House Gets an Instant Swimming Pool
The drainage system is so bad, that the rain has no other option but to enter homes and create unwanted pools!! It enters your wardrobe, spoils your clothes, your mattress, your shoes, every and anything you have!
It is honestly very ridiculous to live this way in 2026…Naija, which way?
2. Your Cars Might Not Survive
The truth of the matter is, you might survive the rain, but that your car engine won’t! Your car practically has to swim and fight for its life while wading through the waters.
You might as well just take out the engines and turn it into a proper canoe.
The damage to your car just adds more expenses to the expenses you already have. How amazing!!
3. Workers Go Through a Lot
It is bad enough that you get to go to work in the rain, but even worse when you have to swim with your corporate like it’s a fun beach outing.
Your cloth gets all soaked and you end up looking very unserious with your raincoat. A whole corporate guru
Hmmmm…nawa
4. Commuting Gets Harder
The instant a drop of rain touches the ground, transportation fare increases, buses are fewer, 100 people scramble for one bus.
If care is not taken, you fit even pass out in the process of struggling for space on the bus.
After all your struggles and when you’re finally inside the bus, you start to rethink if the whole stress is worth whatever you’re being paid.Â
chai!
5. Everywhere Gets Blocked!
During the rainy season in Lagos, every day is a beach day, and you might as well come out with your bikini and boxers, because the streets are flooded!
Cancel every plan you had and have a good time playing in the rain, because our government has provided us with a natural beach that you don’t get to pay for.
Very free!
At the end of the day, the government really needs to help us, and we need to help ourselves too! Stop dumping refuse on the streets or anywhere you can find, it adds to the problem, and at the end of the day we all get to suffer the effects.Â
In other words, how’s your area looking today?
