Woah! Nice information...


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

What other documented backups, the estate is called after dolphins for the very reason the pass along the estate. I remember last year I was on the express along dolphin estate, people were parking their cars to look at the the dolphins passing by..

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.

sonnie10:
They better swim very fast across the ocean or else

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

Sighting a pod of dolphins can be a vibrant, albeit unconventional, indicator that macroeconomic policies focusing on environmental sustainability and the "blue economy" are yielding results. While dolphins aren't a direct metric like GDP, their presence signals health in sectors that drive national wealth!

Indicator of Environmental Regulatory Success: Dolphins are an indicator species, meaning their health reflects the overall condition of the marine environment. Increased sightings suggest that policies targeting pollution reduction, waste management, and sustainable fishing are effective, creating a habitat healthy enough to support apex predators.

Expansion of the Blue Economy: A thriving dolphin population is a primary driver for the ocean-based tourism and recreation industry, which contributed to a 7.4% growth in America’s marine GDP in 2021. In Hawaii, a single spinner dolphin can generate an estimated $3.3 million in lifetime revenue for the local economy through sustainable viewing.

Job Creation and Local Multipliers: Frequent sightings support the dolphin-watching industry, which generates over $2.1 billion annually globaly. This industry provides above-average income for boatmen and fuels "leakage-free" spending at local hotels, restaurants, and retail shops.
Long-term Resource Sustainability: Macroeconomic policies that shift from "extractive" (like intensive commercial fishing) to "regenerative" models are justified by these sightings. Nature-positive transitions are predicted to be worth $10.1 trillion by 2030, and dolphins help maintain the fish stocks that coastal communities rely on for food security and livelihoods.

AlphaTaikun:
There are many of them in the short video. Climate change is indeed real. I've never heard of the visit of sharks to Lagos State waters in decades of my life aside from the one of last year or so. The Bayelsa to the Akwa Ibom States coastal areas tend to witness the visits of more exotic aquatic animals such as whales, octopuses, sting rays though.

Places that NEVER witnessed shark attacks in the past such as the Bahamas Islands started experiencing these attacks a little over 10 years ago due to what experts refered to as a change in climate conditions leading to changes in ocean temperatures.

Many folks had to start wearing shark repellents to repel potential sharks while swimming at the beach.

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

Lanretoye:
you can’t even see kote in anambra

ThiefnubuBandit:
You mean an extension of the Benin Kingdom?

Irony1:
Is it at the waterfront at Osborne foreshore that you saw them?

samnaija:
They were swimming underneath the express lane on ikoyi Osborne to the other side.
