Heavy rainfall has once again left parts of Lekki under water. Like many residents, Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, found herself dealing with flooded roads. However, she chose a different response. Instead of expressing frustration, she used humour to describe the situation. Her video has now gone viral on social media.
In the trending clip, Phyna showed the flooded entrance and roads around Victoria Crest Estate in Lekki. Large volumes of water covered almost every part of the area after the heavy rainfall. While filming, she jokingly described the scene as the luxurious “ocean view” that comes with living in Lekki. Her playful comment instantly became a talking point online.
As expected, the video spread across different blogs and social media platforms within hours. Many Nigerians praised Phyna for finding humour in an unpleasant situation. Several fans described the video as premium “cruise,” saying laughter remains one of the best ways Lagos residents cope with the yearly flooding. Others, however, pointed out that the flooding highlights the poor drainage challenges affecting many parts of Lagos Island.
Meanwhile, Phyna’s viral video adds to the growing conversation about the impact of the ongoing rainy season in Lagos. Many residents and celebrities have continued to express concern over the persistent flooding across Lekki and nearby communities. Even with the serious concerns, Phyna’s “ocean view” joke has given social media users something to laugh about while drawing attention to the larger infrastructure problem.
