charlesklaus: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. |

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 3 Likes |

My blothers from the southeast, ensure you build something reasonable at home before going to buy land at eleguishi ooooooooo. Don't come to Nairaland to start typing that you developed Lagos tomorrow oooooooooooo.

wolextayo: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 • I'm given you enough lessons fr today. I'm not your geography teacher
