16 feared dead , Fashola orders evacuation of waterfront

There was no rain saturday which could have increased the water level. But nonetheless, the Atlantic Ocean surged and overflowed its banks, levelling the popular relaxation spot, Kuramo Beach, Victoria Island, Lagos.

No fewer than 16 persons were feared dead in its wake, as the surge sacked communities within the vicinity.

THISDAY gathered that five of the 16 victims were women and another one was said to be a local diver simply identified as Oloruwa.

By last night, only one corpse had been recovered.

The surge, as gathered, started on Friday night but became violent at about 7 am saturday.

THISDAY learnt that the first set of victims were 12 traders who were on a passenger boat heading to Kuramo when the ocean rebelled.

The local diver, who was also on a fishing boat, attempted to rescue the traders but unfortunately got drowned due to the powerful surge of the ocean.

Sources said the four other victims were fun-seekers at Kuramo Beach. They were said to have been swept off with their cabins.

The surge, however, did not affect the office of Eko Atlantic City, which has a big barricade.

Reports said saturday's incident was not the first of its kind, a fact buttressed by residents who said the surge usually occurs once every year.

Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, said immediately the news broke, policemen and other rescue groups were drafted to the scene.

According to her, following the incident, which started at about 7 am, the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Victoria Island, Mr. Adegoke Fayoade, sent policemen to cordon off the area so that the surge does not consume more people.

Reacting to the incident, Mr. Hakeem Bello, Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to the state Governor Babatunde Fashola, said the state was on top of the situation.

In a statement made available to THISDAY, Bello said following seven days of high waves accompanied by a strong ocean surge which hit the country's coastline with Lagos being among the worst hit due to its location, the state government ordered the immediate evacuation of the state's waterfront.

Also speaking, the state Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, Prince Segun Oniru, said the process had started with the immediate evacuation of the Kuramo Beach to make way for movement of sand into the area. This action, the commissioner explained, had to be taken immediately to avert the disaster of the Atlantic Ocean joining the Kuramo Waters and subsequently the Lagoon.

Oniru, who explained that the state was getting the extreme of this weather condition due to its location, noted that other coastal waterfront areas badly affected from which people would be expected to move included Badagry and Ojo Waterfront areas, Bar Beach, Kuramo Beach, Goshen Estate, Maiyegun and Alpha Beach.

He, however, added that the state emergency service had already been mobilised to continue to monitor the situation and respond accordingly, adding that Lagosians should remain calm.

Sandfilling some parts of the ocean for expansion of the land may not have any negative effect now but there may be an outcry in the future when there is a climactic change which causes an upsurge where oceans overflow its banks then disaster may be to hard to contain.

PropertiesNaija:
The traditional ruler of Ikateland, Oba Saheed Elegushi , has said that the kingdom is extending its territories to help accommodate the growing population of Lagos residents.

He stated this on Saturday at the ground -breaking of a new city in Lagos known as the Imperial International Business City, a joint venture development between Channeldrill Resources Limited and the Elegushi Royal Family .

Elegushi said the project was conceived after the Lagos State Government gave approval for the expansion of Ikate Kingdom by 200 hectares of land to Lekki Phase 1, through dredging of the lagoon , adding that the proposed city would stretch from the end of Freedom Road to the end of NICON Town. He added, “ The Lagos population is escalating and there is a need to expand the kingdom , that was how the vision of the new city was birthed . We have been on it for some years; it is still like a dream to me ,
because a lot of people didn ’ t believe we could do it . “ Normally when you want to embark on reclamation like this, you do your due diligence and Environmental Impact Assessment , we have contacted the world class Royal Haskoning of the Netherlands and they have given us all the best advise such as dredging 3.5 metres above sea level for us to have a flood -free city .

“ We travel every time and we love good things , so, I thought we should replicate what we see out there here in Lagos ; it is not about the money but about leaving a good legacy for the coming generation and in readiness for the expansion.”

The Managing Director , Channeldrill Resources Limited , Mr. Femi Akioye, said the city had been designed for residents to live and also work , adding that plans had been made to ensure that it remained flood -free for at least 75 years.

Akioye said , “ With this city , we aim to change the meaning of development by bringing in the things we see abroad here in Lagos . Smart, green , safe and sustainable are the elements that will drive the city . “ We are also taking advantage of emerging technology in the city such as main gas generation plant , potable water treatment plant , waste water management plant, local utility network , data centre , among others.”

He stated the city would be utility self -sufficient to ensure perfection in infrastructure efficiency, and would be connected by future high speed water transportation, high speed rail and expressways to other parts of Lagos mainland , island and beyond , with a mix of villas , town houses and medium density apartments as well as a business district. The infrastructure consultants to the project , Mott MacDonald Limited of the United Kingdom , said that the infrastructure design of the city would be based on ensuring that the city was self -sustaining ; smart and eco -friendly with steady flow of traffic; flood- free lifetime of 100 years ; general utility efficiency , and the best technology .

“ The city is being designed to align with the future developmental expansion and population growth of Lagos State for the next 50 years. The dream of making this a reality has been further boosted with the Lagos State Government ’ s 2030 transport vision plans , which will be very useful for IIBC connectivity design, ” leader of the Mott MacDonald team, Stuart Croucher said.

Croucher stated that part of his firm’ s mandate was to ensure that the city was a zero flood zone for the next 100 years, and was already working with Royal HaskoningDHV as the reclamation and marine consultants to the project .

its very evident that our leaders don't gives bleep about our future. All they are about is their present gains/profit.

These bastards will continue to dredge the sea, knowing fully well that, in future years to come, the water will return to destroy lives, properties of innocent pple, who can't forsee the future.

They are setting a trap for your future.
If you are wise, u beta be proactive, don't retire all ur life and property worth millions there. In future, this water will return, its not a curse, but a Fact.

All i can see is govts of Ogun and Oyo that are clueless and lack initiative.

My proposition is this:
1). Develop real estate in ur states (private firms can get this done for you, just create a good and a positive business environment for them)

2). Oyo, Ogun govts should woo lagos govt into co-operating with them to link the 3 states with high speed bullet trains.

Route 1 will be Oyo to ogun (ogun and ondo can also be linked) to lagos (terminus in epe, lekki) while lagos continue to work on its city rails.
Route 2: via lagos-ibadan express road.

This is not a federal govt thing. The one proposed by federal govt can take forever to be implemented.

There won't be any need for congestion if neighbouring states can absorb the overflow. Oyo state is like 5 times larger than lagos in terms of land mass. Ogun is like 4 times bigger than lagos.

Our Governors should engage their brains for once

First, once you hear Elegushi, the first thing that comes to your mind is the beach or the Atlantic ocean.

So how can he say his Kingdom is being expanded?

With the melting of the polar ice caps and global climate change it is a known fact that most of the Lagos island will be submerged by the ocean in the nearest future.

So when the Oba says the kingdom is being expanded.
It is safe to infer he is referring to the MARINE KINGDOM

The proposed development isnt for the average Nigerian. Nigerian multi-billionaires can afford to lose an N850m home to the sea.

Sad story, but as they said the surge didn't affect eko atlantic because of it's BIG BARRICADE, they sure ought to prepare for the worst when making such huge plans

ignorant fellow. I've know about tectonic plates as far back as secondary school. Nigeria is not sitting on any tectonic plate so the worst that could happen is a little tremor which is extremely rare like the one that has happened twice in Oyo state in the last 40-60yrs unlike parts of the US, south america etc where real earth quakes happen much more often. sand filling the ocean and reclaiming land lost to the ocean will never interfere with tectonic plates.

BTW the African tectonic plate is around Africa as a whole. there is no tectonic line running through nigeria so there has been no earth quake in Nigeria before. see the tectonic lines in the attached picture. the highest earth quakes in Africa happened in southern Africa which the highest was 1.5 compared to other countries where they get magnitudes 4 upward several times in a decade.

this is why Africa doesn't have earth quakes


1y
As has been said a lot already, Africa does get earthquakes, just much less of them.
The reason Africa gets less earthquakes is because of the tectonic plates. Where two plates connect is where you get earthquakes. When they run into each other you get mountains, when they pull apart you get depression (the Mariana's trench is formed from plates pulling away), and when they grind against each other laterally, you get
stuff like this. I've seen more dramatic examples, but that demonstrates the concept well enough.
