This community has only one tarred street...and over a hundred untarred ones. The roads lack proper drainage, medians, walkways and there are no streetlights, writes The Guardian's Jesutomilinus. Ajegunle Lagos Nigeria

The community located in Kosofe Local Council was known for rascality and hooliganism, even though its name depicts “where riches dwells.”These streets lack proper drainage, medians, walkways and streetlights, unlike those in neighbouring communities, like Surulere, Lagos Mainland, Apapa and Lagos Island.

He said: “Currently we live in fear of the unknown. Any time, it rains, especially at night, we may just be swept away and that’s death.” Chairman, Ajegunle Community Development Area , Mr. Sunday Awobona, said the community lacked potable water for decades without government intervention.“We don’t have water to drink and we wonder if we have a government. We only depend on vendors for potable water, which goes for N100 for a keg of 25 litres.

The Baale of Ajegunle Community, Chief Moyosore Oladunjoye, lamented that the health centre is not well equipped and has no drugs. The study headed by principal investigator and lecturer in the Department of Geography, University of Lagos, Dr. Peter Elias, revealed that during the lockdown in 2020 majority of residents, who reported malaria as the most common illness, depended on self medication.
