Pa James
The house
of veteran actor Ajirebi Kayode Olasehinde, popularly known as Pa James of ‘Papa Ajasco’ fame, was affected by flood
which occurred in Lagos State after the heavy downpour on Sunday.
His son,
Samuel Ajirebi, who confirmed the sad development, shared some pictures and
videos showing the terrible state of his father’s compound on social media.
According
to Daily Post Nigeria, he wrote, “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.”
He added,
“To make matters worse, no one was at home save my dad, so the old man and I
had to be saving 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 to please wake up its responsibility and stop making
citizens suffer in neglect,” Samuel Ajirebi concluded.
Pa James
is one of the most popular faces of ‘Papa
Ajasco’ series, not only in Nigeria but some parts of Africa, including
Ghana. He is believed to be a strong voice in his community.
