I love water sha

Hmmm

1Sharon:





No wonder I haven't heard about bar beach in years

Incomplete or should I say wrong information, bar beach and kuramo beach were converted into a project similar to banana island, I think it's Eko Atlantic City just to avert the fear of Victoria Island and its environ being washed away

As I said before that is your personal opinion, you don’t speak for ALL the indigenous Lagosians.

Are the beaches even developed enough for locals to enjoy it? Get it to that level first, before you start moaning about non existent tourists crowding your beaches.

2mch:

Well. We obviously don’t buy into your greed so it has not happened. Go and look at tourist countries and see how locals can’t even afford to enjoy the beach You can go to your village and sell the riverfront t to tourists.

1Sharon:


Why did it get taken over? Has it been renamed?

2mch:

By water. The beach front used to be as long as Elegushi. Now they had to put the rocks there to stop the water. Bar beach always had strong and high tide while Eleko was the calmer beach. So it was only a matter of time before the water takes over the beach.

now eko atlantic. Has been sandfilled

Barracuda beach

liberalchick:
lol I am sure you don’t speak for every indigenous Lagosians. Especially does that will make money from tourist Naira.

there are beaches all over the world. Nothing special in nigerians own that us tourist worthy

liberalchick:
Typical, everything on NL turns into a tribal war, even a post about beaches. As I said before that is your personal opinion, you don’t speak for ALL the indigenous
Lagosians.

Advise tour state and village first to sell their waterfront to tourists. Everything you people will just sell. Not everything is for sale. We don’t want your tourist Naira. Take it to your hometown. Why are you getting defensive? I speak as an indigenous Lagosian to you. I can talk about my village and state better than you. You can go to your village and make those comments. The families that own these beaches make far more money than if they sold their beach already. We don’t need tourist Naira that will make our boys and girls prostitutes to perverts and our villagers being asked what they are doing on their own ancestral land. Get away from my comments!

1Sharon:




My thoughts too but then again families own islands and stuff

How?

‘Tourist’ doesn’t meant foreigners. Someone from Ogun state touring/visiting the beaches in Lagos is a tourist.

I was actually waiting...

Thanks. Lol, why do westerners like that term "Yellow"?

No I won’t get away from your comments, if you can’t handle the heat then don’t post on a public forum.

Again, you are not the spokesman for indigenous Lagosians, your primitive and archaic opinions are yours. We are talking about Lagos beaches being developed enough for people in Lagos to use and stimulate the Lagos economy, you are talking about prostitutes and ancestral lands

It's a project called Eko Atlantic city, similar to Banana Island/Peninsula

the few we have are not even patronized so why would any sane investor invest in it. No one will come from ogun to any yeye beach lol.

So right now they are not developed enough for you to enjoy? What other development are you looking for? Foreigners? You are not smart enough for me to discuss with you. You definitely did not mean Nigerian tourists. Well, you can continue talking rubbish here. It’s obvious you come from a place where you have nothing and you are hungry looking for money by all means everywhere.

Joromi12:
bar beach does not exist again

they should sell it to someone like oba of ife or whites and watch it come to life

BabaIbo:

Housing?

The most dirtess beach is bar beach, when there some years ago, very dirty, and seeing different type of candles Dat all dis white garment churches used, we cudnt stay and moved down to Eleguishi beach immediately. Eleguishi still remain d best

1Sharon:


Housing?

Yeah and business, you can read it up on Google

lol ok. It’s not my fault you thought the word ‘tourist’ only meant foreigners.

Nigerians have been going to those beaches before your grandfather was born. Vendors and beach owners make money. So, which other tourist could you be looking for? You want us to sell it so that we can now be looking at the beach from the TV. All these hungry and desperate villagers sha!
Then you will turn around with your dead comments and insult Lagosians for selling everything. There are some things that exist for social and mutual enjoyment

bar beach has been sanfilled and turned into a city

realstars:
This guy is enemy to bar beach

Where is bar beach located?

I thought it has paved way for the Lagos Atlantic City.

1Sharon:


I've heard about celebrities owning Islands near the carribean or something

Yes,me too. Like, monarchies have islands named after them.

But this is part of a country,a state,how can it be owned by some oba?
Go to those places an see how area boys are obtaining and tormenting educated people!

AntiBrutus:
Been to Atican, Elegushi and Oniru...

The road to Atican is really bad, too sandy and gallopy. The beach itself was okay. I think we paid 1k each to get in.

I found Elugushi crowded, with lots of juveniles. This one collected N500 or so.

Oniru was just there.

I think Takwa Bay is cool, but I didn't like the idea of moving across water to get there. So, I boycotted this trip.

Took a picture of the water at Atican.
My friend got in, I didn't.

Sisi yellow, you got fine fresh laps.

Nigerians may have been going to the beach before my ancestors existed, doesn’t meant it isn’t still underutilized. Indigenous vendors and beach owners don’t make enough for what the coast is worth. Money is left on the table. You don’t have to sell your beaches or your heritage to get full value of what your beaches are worth. Simple.

I don’t think you know what you are talking about. How else can beach owners make money if not from entrance fees and vendors? You want them to build hotels on the beach and invite foreigners. Then when they stop you from going to the beach because you look like ashewo coming to disturb the hotel occupants and foreigners you will start crying and protesting. I have traveled to countries that rely on tourism, it’s not as glorious as you make it sound. In fact it’s terrible for the locals. They can’t enjoy their beaches without harassment. Things get so expensive and the local boys and girls have a high rate of prostitution

I see your point. Majamajic, arrow212, See below.


The Bar Beach was a beach on the Atlantic Ocean along the shorelines of Lagos, situated on Victoria Island. For a while, it was the most popular beach in Nigeria especially when Lagos was the capital of the country.

In 2003, the idea for a modern city on the Atlantic coast was publicly discussed. It would be sited on what used to be Bar Beach, out of reclaimed land. It would be called Eko Atlantic City, a residential and business district “standing on 10 million square metres of land reclaimed from the ocean and protected by an 8.5 kilometre-long sea wall"

In 2008, the construction of the new city began.

As of May 2009 while the site was being dredged, about 3,000,000 cubic metres (3,900,000 cu yd) of space had been sand-filled and placed in the reclamation area, while about 35,000 tonnes of rock have been delivered to the site.

In 2016, Eko Atlantic City was commissioned by Lagos governor Akinwumi Ambode.

The Eko Atlantic project has been criticized for having a design flaw that may contribute to continuing flooding in Lagos because of its being "highly susceptible to rising tides, as it is based on an artificial sandbar directly adjacent to the ocean." A storm surge in the exact area where the Eko Atlantic’s construction was taking place reportedly killed 16 people. There have been other equally dangerous flooding in Lagos blamed on the new construction project.
