Time after time we have been warned about blocking the drainage system and building houses on water ways. History has always repeated itself via flooding when the ocean tides rise. Several times I have watched the Eko Atlantic Island advert. It really dawned on me when I observed that some area in Marine Base, Port Harcourt have been flooded. A common event called "big water". The question on mind is, do we just do things for the time being and forget the future. We have constantly been reminded of Global Warming and the melting of the ice on the ice pole, which in turn will lead to rise in tidal levels. Are we being foolish for trying to drive the oceans when we have vast land areas? Should the authorities involved do a rethink? Or should we rely on Engineering?

Barely one day of this post I am seeing little or no response. Watching STv ten O' Clock news. Lekki flooding, Ilashan Estate which most residents attributed to the on-going eko atlantic sand filling. Also Bauchi state flooding.
