Its the rainy season and like precursory years, most parts of Nigerian cities experience flood. Lagos -state metropolis is not exempted, Tuesday, June 6th, 2017 rain which started in the early hours of the day and continued all through left its infamous signature behind.

 Major roads, residential and business districts was flooded. The drainage where the water was supposed to flow through was not spared; Left, Right Centre all you see is Flood.

 Commuters were stranded as transportation fare increased. Reason given by bus (danfo), Motorbikes (okada) and tricycle (Keke) drivers were: Traffic and Flood.

 Since there are obviously no 'Governmental/Labour' organisations to protect citizens from gratuitous developments as these, passengers are left with no options than to either 'grudgingly' pay or risk trekking the distance to their destinations ...in the rain.

For how long will this continue?

What is the Nigerian Labour Union doing to address baseless increase in transportation fare imposed on helpless Nigerians?

What is the Government, whom the people trustfully voted into 'Power' doing to address flood and exploitation in the form of inexplicable increase in transportation fares when ever it rains?
