Nigerian Beaches Have Lost Its Glory. My Journey To Oniru Beach by Chevrolet076(m): 4:00am On Dec 31, 2023 |
After more than 15 years since I visited a beach (Eleko beach), I anticipated seeing and having the usual beach feel of strong roaring foamy waves, very cold winds that can sweep you off your feet, the wide expanse of water so wide and so blue that connects to the sky as far back as your eyes can see, hundreds of sea creatures especially crabs running back into the sea as it recedes, the freedom of trekking kilometers down both sides of the sea, the non-existence of any foreign thing like tractors, restaurant etc close to the sea... Just the traditional dishes and feel. Everything is so bad that I just felt I wasted money on overrated stuffs. No roaring waves, no cold winds, swimming pool-like water waves and forced waves from the jet skis and boat l cruise. Green colored sea filled with sea weed Cans, bottle, food pack littering everywhere Guys with intimidating looks smoking up and down Loudspeakers playing useless music and disturbing the peace of the sea, Almost non-existent sea shells. Except for few tiny ones Tractors everywhere with security guard threatening you if you dare to cross over to landmark side Sand heaped on all four sides of the sea making it look like a swimming pool. Imagine a whole beach o Everything has been monitized and the beach is so small that it's choking. You can only have fun by buying overpriced things. Boat cruise at 3k, horse riding for just a short distance at 2k per person, one tiny suya at 2k, entry fẹẹ increased to 2k as well. If not for the other families that came with football which we started playing, what would my holiday look like? It is well. I just think not everything should be monitized and milked so it loses its natural feel. Felt so bad for nature. The beach's sadness penetrated through my bones Has anyone experienced this? Any idea of a good beach that is still an actual beach? 90 Likes 8 Shares

It so shameful seriously. I went to Oniru beach too recently and what I saw was nothing less of an eye sore. The beach looked so distant from it's former self. It is as if LAWMA found a new dump site for all kind of wastes and aquatic life are inexistent. People even urinate close to the bamboo wall and everywhere reeks of an abandoned dumpster. The only serene beach with little closeness to still maintaining it's natural feel are the private beaches as I was in Lekki Leisure Lake a week earlier. 88 Likes 7 Shares |

The average Nigerian man is very dumb and only cares about how to monitize everything and make his money at all cost. 100 Likes 5 Shares |

Oniru beach is not so dope. Its like the ghetto beach of the area. You should have tried the good beach or others around. And true, you cant cross to landmark from there, thats another territory. 44 Likes 2 Shares |

Edit your heading chief . It's Oniru beach has lost its glory. Palace area Boys and touts had finished oniru beach. Only unsuspecting individuals still goes there and they normally comes out with regrets. The traffic on landmark and good beach is only indicator that Nigerians had moved on from that beach. A dirty nd filthy beach you can't access with your car without been taxed for individual head nd car park. Nd your cab can't even drive in to pick or drop you. Whereas other beaches got free car park nd sorts. Look at the festivities going on. Oniru beach couldn't even attract ordinary friends get together. While other beaches are shutting down with celebs every day. 66 Likes 4 Shares |

Re: Nigerian Beaches Have Lost Its Glory. My Journey To Oniru Beach by Uchemuch: 3:07am On Jan 02 |
Landmark is overrated. It is no more as it used to be in the past..... More like a past glory thing... No waves at all, and you will pay for everything at high price and not taking in even water...... I am very sure that most beach around VI don't have that natural waves anymore......it's like a swimming pool, just stagnant.... The joy of a beach is to see that waves..... Instead go for any other beach in Lekki...... Are u in Lagos? Let me take you to Landmark beach instead [/quote] 8 Likes 2 Shares |

I am surprised too when I went on a trip with my school students on the 16th of Dec 2023. Like I was dumbfounded by the lowlife settings in the beach. These guys just want money and money at the gate. The beach na scam but it comes with it fun though if you open you mind and bring in your own stuff. 7 Likes 1 Share |

If you are in Lagos and you want to enjoy the beach and it’s natural waves and vibes that comes with going to beaches, I’ll advise you don’t go to any of the beaches on Victoria Island. Everything there is overpriced. Just proceed to any of the beaches at Ajah and it’s environs. 29 Likes 1 Share |
