There were at least 2 sightings of dolphins during the Covid lockdown in Lagos. I think it made front page on Nairaland then.

They better swim very fast across the ocean or else

. Nairaland Hunters ASSOCIATION should avoid these beautiful creatures

I think they should pray they don't get washed ashore.

Before Ilaje boys ask for their swimming license abi??

Wetin all this dolphins dey look for in African shores.. especially West African shore...I hope dey don't find themselves in some people's pot in this manner

I pray for those dolphins,
I frustrate every plan to turn them to Stomach Infrastructure.

Or may end up as Dolphin 🐬 Pepper soup 🍲

Immigration officials always missing in action when needed.



I wonder why they'll just allow citizens of other countries stroll into Nigeria unchecked......

Dolphin estate is a popular residential estate in Lagos located by the sea . It is so named because it was a major route for dolphins migrating to the south African coast. The water was shallow enough for people to go in and pet the dolphins.

The Dolphins stopped coming because they were hunted.

Dolphins be careful,Na Express u dey Go. People are hungry dem go turn una to Titus and Geisha 2 seconds

Beautiful creatures. A thrilling sight to behold

Beautiful creatures!

Through they are much smaller than Temperate breeds of Dolphins.

I remember we sighted something similar along the turbulent lagoon on our way to Atlascove terminal

They aren’t many this time, they usually migrate via this route

Woah! Nice information...


But how true is this? Any documented backups? Or just the normal Nigerian style mouth to mouth tales?

The day hungry Nigerians will remember them ehn...

Those Dolphins are at the wrong place, if they don't migrate now they will be used to make fish pepper soup.

Nigeria needs to enact law to protect these sea creatures.

Make them run before people catch dem chop,

Make Ilaje fishermen catch them, they will realise we aren't ready for fish entertainment in this Tinubucratic System of Government.

My Ilaje friend was arrested by naval operatives in 2021 for killing a dolphin. It was then that I knew they are protected by international maritime law.

It was through bribery that he was let off the hook.
