Veteran actor, Kayode Olasehinde, aka Pa James, has revealed he got
ashamed after his son, Samuel, posted pictures of his house flooded on
social media.
In a chat with Sunday Scoop, Pa James revealed
that the problem was a recurring one. He said, “This issue has been
going on for some time and we have always pleaded with the government,
but they have just been deceiving us. Sometimes, they would bring
caterpillars and widen the channel which water passes through, which
invariably worsens the situation. One of the caterpillars they brought
even broke down and it has been abandoned there for some time now. Some
media houses have helped us to publicise our plight but nothing has been
done. The people living around here are now even tired of calling on
the government. The Agbado Oke-Odo Local Council Development Area, which
we fall under, has nothing to better our condition. It is clear that
the government has neglected us. Whenever the flooding occurs, it
damages all the properties in the house. If you get to my house now, you
wouldn’t see chairs.”
Pa James also admitted that the condition of his house embarrasses him. He said, “It makes me feel ashamed and I don’t even like to talk about it again. If not for my son who posted the pictures on social media, I wouldn’t have said anything.
