a friend of mine caught a fish at VGC after the heavy downpour!!
more photos coming soon

This is a serious something, hahaha

I don see plenty things for this VI floor episode

probably escaped from a fish farm. flooding wahala.

lol.....

All this Lagos sandfilled areas. Hope the govt and people are prepping. I hope people are keeping abreast of meterological projections, solid ones from globally recognized organizations not our shoddy inconsistent 'local guys, before thinking they're in some sort of Fort Knox building all sorts of semi-paradises there.

The day the ocean vis a viz nature gets ready to fight back, the damages go pass Noah flood o. Not an issue of "Govt don dey try small-small, pple don dey aware", let them "try more" is the issue!

[b]This sounds like a dooms day prediction. But it is serious! Experts say in 50 years to come, Lagos risks being washed away by tidal waves. It is the only Nigerian costal city that might go under if nothing serious is done to stop it.Climate Change and the poor environmental attitude of the residents are already assisting this prediction to come true.

Earlier, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) based in France, had, in a study entitled Ranking of the world’s cities most exposed to coastal flooding today and in the future, revealed that Lagos was at risk of being submerged in the next 50 years. Lagos was among cities in the developing world facing similar fate. Cotonou, Liberia and Abdijan in West Africa were in the number.

OECD said that “in the 20th century, sea level rose by an estimated 17 centimetres but conservative global mean projection for sea level rise between 1990 and 2080 ranges from 22-34 centimetres. Oceans which have been absorbing 80 per cent of the temperature increase attributable to global warming are expanding as ice sheets in the North and South poles melt. These events have led to a rise in sea levels and increasing flooding in coastal cities. The projected rise in sea levels could result in catastrophic flooding of coastal cities.”

A University of Lagos don, Dr Emmanuel Enyeribe Ege, said the prediction about Lagos and other cities re-echoed in Rotterdam in June this year at a programme entitled Urban Development Tools and Climate Change and its implication for the world. It was organised by the Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies (IHS) of the Erasmus University, Rotterdam, in The Netherlands. Dr Ege, who teaches in the Department of Geography said: “From what I observed, what they (in Europe) are doing regarding climate change and what we are doing here are poles apart. It is clear that we are too complacent with climate issues.[/b]

[size=13pt]Sea surges could uproot millions in Nigeria megacity[/size]
By Nick Tattersall | LAGOS
[b]Millions of people in Nigeria could be displaced by rising sea levels in the next half century, as ocean surges swamp some of Africa's most expensive real estate and its poorest slums, scientists say.

Africa's most populous nation, stretching from the southern fringe of the Sahara to the Gulf of Guinea, could come under triple attack from climate change as the desert encroaches on its northern pastures, rainfall erodes farmland in its eastern Niger Delta, and the Atlantic Ocean floods its southern coast. But the greatest concern is the sprawling commercial capital Lagos, one of the fastest growing cities in the world, spread over creeks and lagoons and dangerously close to sea level.

"Lagos is a megacity with 15 million people, half of them at two meters (6 ft) above sea level, and that puts them at risk as hardly any other big city in the world," Stefan Cramer, Nigeria director of Germany's Heinrich Boll Foundation think-tank and an adviser to the Nigerian government on climate change, said.

Speaking at the launch this week of a Nigerian documentary on climate change, Cramer said most scientists predicted sea levels would rise by one meter over the next 50 years or so.

"In 50 years with a one-meter sea level rise, two million, three million people would be homeless ... By the end of the century we would have two meters and by that stage Lagos is gone as we know it," he told Reuters in an interview. Lagos state government has been battling to reinforce the long sand spits such as Bar Beach -- whose wooden shacks are a favorite hangout for touts and hustlers known as "Area Boys" -- which protect the mouth of the main lagoon from the Atlantic. But the effect would be limited and little was being done in terms of urban planning to adjust to the risks, Cramer said.[/b]
