Flooding is a common problem in many parts of the world—displacing people and destroying property. It is a severe issue in some parts of Nigeria such as Niger State, Benue State, Bayelsa State, Edo State, Lagos State, and several others, just to mention a few.

Flooding takes the form of a mass of running water or an accumulation of stagnant water that fails to evaporate after some days or weeks. It is often found in potholes on bad roads or in areas with uneven topography.

In this part of the world, many people mistake flood for the term "erosion," which actually refers to the wearing away of topsoil or rock. The video footage below captures flooding after a heavy downpour that occurred on , along Ujoelen Road in Ekpoma, Edo State. This flood originates from different streets off the road, with only a single gutter by the roadside to drain it. As a result, the water overflows, covering roads and gutters, and making the road inaccessible for users who cannot clearly observe where a culvert or gutter is located.

Action needed: This calls for the urgent attention of the Edo State Government to rehabilitate the road and provide a proper drainage system, ensuring safe and accessible passage for people going to schools, workplaces, and markets.
