A video shared by a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member showcasing the flood they encountered while completing clearance at Babs Animashaun in Surulere, Lagos, has gone viral, drawing astonished reactions from Nigerians. The footage reveals the NYSC members wading through murky water, highlighting the poor infrastructure and inadequate drainage systems in the area.

The reactions on social media were a blend of humor and disbelief. Many users expressed a mix of sarcasm and concern about the difficulties faced by those in the video.

Others discussed the specifics of their local government areas, adding to the lighthearted banter surrounding the flooding situation.
