IKORODU, Nigeria ? Seasonal rains have sent water flowing over riverbanks again in Nigeria, raising the risk of cholera and disease as government appears unable to cope with the flooding.
Canoes are being used where cars used to drive in communities just outside of Ikorodu, a city itself just outside of Nigeria's megacity of Lagos.
In one community, water flowed over an outhouse, a warning sign of cholera. Earlier this month, UNICEF said nearly 2,500 have died in one of the biggest cholera outbreaks West Africa has ever seen this year, with deaths from Congo to Mali, including Nigeria.
Locals blame government officials for not seeing their plight, though several acknowledged they live in a flood-prone area.
