Lagos Ocean Surge Casualty Man-made - NEMA by mukina2: 12:24pm On Aug 27, 2012

The recent devastating Atlantic Ocean surge at the coastline of Lagos State was natural disaster while the human casualties were man-made, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEAM) has said.

NEMA spokesman Yusha'u Shuaibu said the agency has confirmed the recovery of 9 bodies and blamed residents for carelessness which caused the human casualties.

Shuaibu quoted the agency's Director of Planning Research and Forecasting, Dr. Charles Agbo, as saying "Though 9 bodies have so far being recovered and confirmed by NEMA officials while others, as claimed by residents still missing, the ocean surge at Kuramo beach and other areas of Lagos was natural phenomena while the human casualty could be blamed on carelessness of people living too close to the danger of coastline when early warning alert were raised by appropriate authorities on the effect of climate change and global warming."

The agency said more beaches might be affected by wave tide after the team assessed the impact at the Kuramo Beach and also visited Oniru Private Beach and some parts of Ojo, Badagry, Tarkwa Bay, Maiyegun and Alpha Beach.

NEMA therefore urged effective collaboration among response institutions to ensure the clearing of shanties at the beaches as well as evacuation of people living close to the coastlines. It also called for the removal of ship wrecks that dotted most of the areas.

Ehya, someone is playing word games with the wasted lives of his very own citizens. but i forget... cost of life comes 3 for 5,000.00 in Nigeria. (the "have-nots" life that is). would anybody who had the option of a decent apartment choose the water front instead.
chai Nigeria!
