Yes, the house is open to Atlantic ocean. Nothing can be done to salvage those houses unless government build a sea wave protector / Embankment.

Only competent construction company like Julius Berger can build proper building there. This issue is beyond this bungalow owner.

A man has raised alarm over the deteriorating state of a house built close to the ocean in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State.

The lower part of the house has been completely washed away, with deep cracks visible on the walls, the fence broken down, and parts of the interior severely damaged. Speaking in Yoruba, the man explained that the house is not far from the Federal Government road.

He pleaded with Nigerians to help share the video in order to attract the attention of the relevant authorities. He also called on the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to intervene and address the situation.

The coastal highway and the Eko Atlantic sandfilling is the major cause. Most coastal village along the shore and down Niger Delta will go on extinction as time goes.

The government failed to undertake the EIA, environmental impact assessment on these two major projects.
The solution is to build sea waves protector / Embankment. It's a smart move to avoid compensation. Currently, those properties exposed to sea before the highway will go naturally. (Hopefully with little or no loss of lives). There properties are currently shielding the highway until when it will be fully justified to get more loans from world bank.

Funny thing is that most of these people who lives in Lagos have many beautiful houses wasting away in their villages angry. "But since everybody wanna live in the city of Lagos, they'd rather prefer to live and die there to relocating back home..

Sorry,but you should count your losses and move on.
Where do dey get d money to build the village own

How will you build that kind of structure near the ocean and think it will survive?

I don't remember where I heard the saying ....the foolish man builds his house upon the sand. is this the man they were talking about? I really blame the Government.... they should know there are foolish people everywhere and he should never have been permitted to build or squat there.
Re: Man Shows Off What Water Did To A House In Lekki, Lagos (Photos/Video) by Reference(m): 10:58pm On Aug 17, 2025
The man should read his bible about building on sand if the knowledge of fluid dynamics or hydrodynamics is a step too far.

Anyway with the billion dollar property gamble folks are making on that sliver of land called Lekki peninsula I hope the Lagos state government has comissioned a tsunami warning system like other coastal city states around the world if not....

That place remains one of the most scary places to live. So vulnerable to nature.

Na wa o.

So people can built house so close the mighty ocean.

So that they can say good morning to Mammy Water or what? shocked shocked shocked shocked

If at all, houses like this should be specially built.

Imagine a Tsunami caused by an earthquake somewhere not far in the Atlantic. What will happen here?

... even if it's one mile away..it's still risky to build a house where an ocean is

You built a house right beside the ocean. What else were you expecting? The owner of this house must be very stupid.
Abi..in Lagos any small space or space people want to build house or shop there.. that is why Lagos is too congested ..no space

Quite unfortunate, sorry for your loss.

But common sense should tell anybody that this is not an appropriate place to build, a place so close to the ocean.

Consulting the responsible government agency before building would have averted this loss because no government agent would have given the approval to build such.
Let him bring out the building plan, approval and the C of O of that piece of land.

He went and built close to the Atlantic and coming here to play the victim.

He should getat

That headline is very misleading! This is not 'showing off'! This is calling attention to a disaster in the making because it's evident that the owners of those buildings might be rich enough to buy that tempting piece of real estate in the first place, but they are definitely NOT rich enough to build any lasting structure on it.

Even if it's legal to buy and build on it, a plot of land on that stretch will take billions of naira to develop it.

The current 'owners' must have realized that it was a futile investment borne of a lack of common sense or greed, or both.

Why have the relevant government agencies failed to demolish the house from the time they started building it?

Is it because of corruption due to insufficient salary and poor pension relative to political office holders?

Or maybe it’s due to inadequate number of town planning civil servants to monitor implementation of approved construction projects?
Re: Man Shows Off What Water Did To A House In Lekki, Lagos (Photos/Video) by MemoriesAndMe:
Na una find mammy water trouble! Land don finish for mainland?

Some areas don't deserve having buildings on them. So if someone sells you a plot of land in the middle of the ocean, you would have bought it and built on it and start calling on Nigerians and government when erosion starts?

Why build so close to the ocean? Even if you have to build there, proper planning and reinforcement has to be done first. You can't build a regular house so close to the ocean and not expect erosion.

The government can't do nothing in the case.

Didn’t Tinubu say he tamed the Atlantic Ocean?

The owner may have been motivated by his speech to go and build there, and he found out cheesy
You are really giving ebilokan wotowoto o. grin

The brilliant accountant who built Lagos and tamed the ocean but failed to make pipe borne water available to all households.

Na which kind juju be that huh

The federal government is not responsible for water supply in cities and towns. This is the responsibility of states.

The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”

While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.

He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’

This makes sense ... sea encroachment has caught up to him. When did he build the house? .... that will tell us how long it takes for the encroachment to cover a mile. That should also tell us how long it will take to get to the Coastal Highway. What this tells us now is that sea encroachment was never a consideration in the route of the highway. A few years or so from now it will be breaking news .... Coastal Highway washed away by sea . Lack of foresight...lack of proper planning. Let nature take it's course and plan ahead for that.... a beautiful beach in the making

You don't even need to consult anybody to have sense to see you cannot build anything at that location.
