Floodwater coursed across the surface he had just finished, and tools including a shovel, a bucket, and metal rods lay scattered across the waterlogged ground.
His cries, delivered in Yoruba, conveyed the full weight of watching his labour dissolve in real time before his eyes.
Bricklayer's distress caught on camera
The footage carries an urgent, alarmed tone from start to finish. Ajibola did not simply observe the scene in silence; he vocalised his anguish as the rain showed no sign of letting up and the damage to his work became increasingly apparent.
