Most likely the effects of Eko atlantic. The sandfilling & construction going on there is massive,thereby causing an upsurge in the water current. No wonder an Estate agent recently said there is a massive relocation of people from the island to mainland in turn increasing the prices of properties on the mainland. 1 Like |

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.... 25 Likes |

I think it has to do more with the "tropical cyclone" which is a function of the weather (Related to an El Nino event, perhaps), rather than earthquake or tsunami. I'm not an expert on this, so I believe the physical oceanographers in the house should help us out. 2 Likes |
