Pa James House, Again Submerged by Flood

The home of Popular veteran actor, Mr. Ajirebi Kayode Olasehinde, AKA Pa James, has been flooded after a torrential downpour of rain in Lagos.

Ekohotblog learned that the flood submerged the home of Pa James at Oke Isagun Community of Oke Odo LGA was caused after a nearby canal had overflown its bank into the area causing damage to his neighbours’ homes as well.

The report says this is not the first the flood is affecting him and his household.

In the last rainy season, in 2019, Pa James’s house was reportedly taken over by flood.

His son, Samuel Ajirebi, shared the news online, calling out Lagos state government to do something.

He added that the issue of the flood has been a raging crisis in the area for over a decade, and the government had not done anything about it.

He had written last year: “Seriously sad right now, I get to think at times that, are we sure we have a government in this country?

“Look at what I met on going to visit my family today, a flooded house due to the overflowing canal behind our street.

“To make matters worse, no one was at home to save my dad, so the old man and I had to be protecting properties and scooping water out of the house!

“This year makes it ten years of repeated and consistent occurrence of this with severe damages done annually to properties, at times leading to temporary displacement!

“Letters have been written, appearances made, press releases written, still no significant step taken by the government to channel the overrunning canal.

“We need governmental intervention in Oke Isagun Community of Oke Odo LGA.

“We lose properties! We lose rest whenever we see rain signs! Tonight is going to be a partial prayer moment for families because it must not rain tonight…. No house for us to sleep in anymore! “This is sad and heartbreaking.

“This is not a sympathy plea for anything, but a call to the state and local government authorities of Lagos, Oke Odo LGA, respectively, to please wake up to your responsibility and stop making citizens suffer in neglect.”
