A social media commentator, Jack Obinyan-Buhari on his Facebook page argued that: "If it rains indiscriminately no amount of drainage and technology will stop flooding."
Reacting to some photos of flooding in the UK, he said that: "This is London and outskirts...The same happens to any other part of Europe, including "Almighty" Germany.
"This is NOT to excuse lack of drainage, lack of town planning and human excesses against the environment such as waste management. IF everything was in place like in Europe, it will not prevent flooding if it rains indiscriminately. Man can never be more than God," he said.

Legit.ng however could not confirm when the flood occurred and in which part of the country.
Legit.ng had reported that as flood continues to ravage Lekki area of Lagos state, Nigerians have been asked to stop linking the disaster to the well being of residents of the area.
Some Nigerians have alleged that properties in the ravaged area are built from proceeds of crime.
In a reaction to the allegation, some Nigerians have come on social media to counter such views, insisting that not all properties owners in the area got their money from proceeds of crime.
