Terrific pictures of Lagos in floods show what happens when people, as typical of Nigerians, expect that all would fall into place so far as there is God – as they would normally say. The pictures below indicate what befalls an unplanned city, where buildings are allowed to spring up everywhere, without planning. And without a good drainage system that is regularly checked in place.
