chucky234: Na wen you go get sense for this life wey you come,ocean surge na end time again. Wetin you come call those earthquakes,hurricane and tsunami wey don dey happen before your mama born you,na begin time abi.
Your mumu go last,olodo rabata.

biggzman:
Incase of tsunami,the whole of lagos will be submerge or wipe off. But the only solution is for lagos state govt to build dyk around to protect d shoreline frm coastal erosion.

19naia: My first thought was the same as yours but also sometimes it can come from distant bad winds in the ocean...I Searched on a web site "Latest earthquakes in the world-past 7 days." Just type that into google or so and there is a USGS (united states geological survey) list of all the significant quakes in the world..I checkit every day........The list shows an earthquake in the mid atlantic fault right on same latitude as nigerian coast..It was 5.2 quake aug 17 and is big enough to make small surge to reach lagos and even delta coastal regions.The 1st report was august 18, so maybe it was from august 17 event which took many hours to reach lagos..It is possible that offshore underwater ridges near lagos could have swelled the surge into lagos area....This is not an official report,only my own independant considerations....Be safe you ocean dwelling people and maybe Naija government has been right to remove all the waterfront settlers in lagos..I hope the government will offer alternative resettlement and not just evict them to wander lost....

Excuzeme:
Your post is NOT entirely accurate.
You intentionally or "without being aware", forgot to add that "dredging sand from the ocean" (for the purpose of sand-filling) has to occur at a certain MINIMUM DISTANCE FROM THE SHORE-LINE, if the effect of such dredging is not to have a NEGATIVE IMPACT on the shoreline?
I dont want to go into details here (but let me add that the minimum distance is 15 Nautical miles from the shoreline otherwise, the ocean will simply "SUCK" the shore's sand outwards, to replace the "vacuum/void" created by the initial dredging and the beach line could be 'history'!)as l no wan enter "Lagos rofo-rofo fight".

15 Nautical Miles is way to loose of an estimate, 2 miles offshore from the project site is what I consider the minimum. Also, Dredging will not cause any "vacuum" or even one powerful enough to "suck" the sand from the shoreline. So to say dredging is a cause or that it has a negative impact on the shoreline is wrong. The simple fact of the matter why sand is removed from beaches is due to erosion. The Mass of the ocean coupled with its velocity creates enough momentum to eat away at any exposed shoreline. when completed Eko atlantic project will not only protects Victoria island from erosion but sand fills the shoreline back to its original length during the days of colonialism. That shore line has always been shrinking due to the erosion, so to say dredging is causing it is misleading.

Plausible as your comments may seem, I would've expected other West African countries to record/report ocean surges on a scale worse than Lagos, as some are much closer to ground zero suggested above than we are. Port Novo should have felt the impact just as much as Lagos. So far, Kuramo, Lekki, Elegushi areas have been commented on as being impacted. Methinks something more local occurred. We can't criticize Eko Atlantic at this point as I suspect an issue such as this would have been reported several times during the land reclamation. Cheers.

iyke2k4: May their souls rest in peace.

But if its happened in JOS, Some of you will start talking as if Jos is the only place that witness flood.Some of you even stay in worse places than Jos and you always talk bad about the city.Some of u that stay in Lagos,Abj and PH even stay in slums there and cant even feed three times a day.Check out Jos brought up in these cities and u will see alot of difference.Jos boys and girls always make news wherever the go.There swag is one of a kind.I am Jostified and I hv have tenants in Lagos and ABj.

The Nigeria Media and people love Jos so much.That's why we see lots of bad news about the beautiful city on headlines for those newspapers to continue to be in business.

The 'Poles' are shifting and the 'tilt' of the earth on its axis is changing.

This is well known - some say we can expect the poles of the earth to 'flip' anytime now.

There are many underwater cities that once thrived but are now buried under the sea - its inevitable the same fate awaits lagos (and many other coastal regions).
