Veteran actor, Kayode Olasehinde, aka Pa James might not be having the best of time now as his house occasioned by the torrential rain has been submerged flood. His son, Samuel ‘Ajirebi’ Olasehinde took to his social media account on Wednesday sharing pictures of his flooded father’s resident in Oke Odo Local council in Lagos.
Crying out on behalf of his dad, Samuel Ajirebi, wondered if there was a government in Nigeria.
“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.
“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 the 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 was 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!,” he said.
Meanwhile,
some of his colleagues have taken to social media to raise awareness and seek help for Pa James.
One of the actors is Foluke Daramola.
Sharing a picture of the flooded house, the actress reposted a post with the caption, urging well-meaning Nigerians to donate whatever they can afford into Pa James’ son bank account.
The post reads: “Let’s come together to support pa James popular known as Ajirebi
This is his house taken over by flood.
Pls and pls
God will help you as you helping hand.

However, this has been a recurring problem for Pa James and his family.
In May 2019, his son, Samuel, posted pictures of Pa James, scooping water out of his home.
The actor, in 2019, said his family always pleaded with the government, but “they have just been deceiving us.”
