Ekiti State. . . Ekiti St. . . . nope, not on the list.

_{Back to more pressing matter.}

Onlytruth:

Don't worry Gators, dis one no reach ya backyard for Ekiti. At least not yet.

Ileke-IdI:

There is no not yet. God protects his own.

If it reaches Ekiti, then its coming to drown your backyard

Onlytruth:



Well, at least I'm not in denial like your folks who are building eldorado on top of an unpredictable deluge. 

I'm actually worrying about the stuff which is why I advocate a comprehensive solution. 

Ileke-IdI:

Ehrrm ehrrm, "my folks" are not the only rich residents in Lagos. I believe that most of VI Islannds are owned by your folks, building lands and living on luxury and prolly supporting e-a CONSTRUCTION. lol This is a period when everybody is living/trying to live in "luxury" while playing with ignorance.

Let me hear the solutions you've suggested.

Looking at Eko-Atlantic Projects, I wish them good luck. I was watching the E-A video, are they actually trying to increase landmass by. . . NVM.

Lagos is soon going to be submerged yet this doesn't make the front page, its topics like "Ever stolen from a cooking pot?" that make it instead, na wa o .

ROTFLMAO!!! Abeg, meat is important too

How do you know? I didn't know you were an oceanologist? All I can say is that the coastal communities have more to fear right now than city centers further upland.

babapupa:



Onlyfalse, the same folks from Holland referenced above as the best in the world are in charge of fortification at Eko Atlantic. Eko Atlantic fortification was designed way above specification to confront the worst weather challenges.

And please go sell the rest of your rubbish to your village folks. Trust me, they need your brilliant ideas over there.

The places at risk include southern Bayelsa, southern Rivers State (up to Port Harcourt) and parts of Lagos State. These places have very lowlands/swamps/mangroves which is probably why Port Harcourt wasn't built on the coast. For Imo and Abia to be completely flooded, there would have to be some serious ice melting going on in Canada, Greenland, Antarctica, etc. that makes up for all this water, by that time the world would have lost much of its land. As far as I know, water doesn't climb heights if its whole body isn't rising as well.

Well, if a serious Tsunami should hit, Even Anambra that is further inland wont be spared...thank god we don't have such thermal ocean activity but then you can't really trust nature, what with all the pollution/drilling going on in the delta.



....and some super serious ice-melting is going on in the artic. and the worst part is Trump and Russia don't believe in Climate Change. So this 50 years timeline might just be a wishful and broad estimation. The time might actually be just in a two decades or three

What difference does it make what the president Trump believes or not. Even other world leaders who believe and claim to be championing the climate change gospel and seeking green policies are rather helpless to stop what nature is doing. Most times it's all talk and condemnation but little action. China says it needs to burn billions of tons of coal to power its bulging population. India says it's just playing catchup with the emissions of other developing countries. Even Canada and Australia with less than 2% of China's or India's population are competing to surpass the pollution of these giants. All these results in more CO2 in the atmosphere exacerbating the already catastrophically menacing greenhouse effect and politicians in Europe will gather just to talk about it or even how to make money from it. Meanwhile, all these green politicians and activists fly around the world in highly carbon emitting jet planes to deliver their lectures.
Besides there's a school of thought that rejects the link between Carbon IV Oxide in the atmosphere and global warming. Many scientists and politicians subscribe to this point of view. Same as Trump. If all CO2 emission is stopped today, global warming still continues. Methane gas emissions from cattle herding and the gastrointestinal organs of ruminants worldwide produces more greenhouse effect than all the fossil fuels burning in this world. Add one or two volcanic eruptions to the mix and you'll realise man made pollution is just minuscule.
So all I'm saying is: All those things happen on their own. The earth alternates between epochs of very cold and very hot climatic conditions. Have you not heard about Ice Age? So the temperature will continue rising, the oceans will continue surging, coastal areas like Lagos and the Niger delta will continue sinking, and nothing will stop it. Only that the government should be aware of these things and prepare adequately for any eventuality. It isn't wise that tens of millions of people and trillions of naira capital be invested in Lagos now to the detriment of the rest of the country. If the government can move the political capital of the country away from Lagos to the North for strategic military insecurity, the government can likewise move the economic capital away from Lagos to say the East, for strategic climatic insecurity.
That way we would be able to safeguard the economic survival of the people of the largest black nation on earth. But as for Lagos, it's simply beyond salvation. Let the ocean have it!

Beaf:


Seriously, xenophobia has nothing to do with this topic. Every part of Nigeria has environmental issues; the whole country needs a plan.
