Sunday Special: Coastal Erosion Threatens Livelihoods Along Lagos Coastline

[@teazerfemi]

Climate change is real but Nigerians don't want to hear about it or believe it, we are so backwards in thinking, the best bet is for the government to modernize the mainland and start preserving the coastal shores, by planting millions of trees along the coastal, I pity those residents, great content

[@Diversified-Technologies]

God bless you for this. Also but the coastal road is supposed to pass through this shores too?

[@MariahFolkard]

Guyana is 6 feet below sea levle we are close to the atlantic ocean maybe 8 feet below sea levle now but we have sea walls South America Guyana😢🙏

[@obafemiadeyemi]

Blame the owner of your TV station who in his words “Tamed the Ocean”.

I questioned one of Eko Atlantic marketers in 2010 when they market the property to be and they said what they are doing is dispensation and it will not affect other areas. The community they file lawsuits against eko Atlantic if they know their right

[@fatimaahmed7249]

Let them keep building their Billion-Naira mansions with sea-view....Water, WILL always claim it's own!

[@creameus]

And tinubu is wasting money on the coastal high. Our leaders are heartless

[@bakaregbenga3386]

Did u listen to the documentary atal ewu? ...

[@Laygos]

What's Tinubu got to do with it? Watch the documentary again, and think before making any comment.

[@bakaregbenga3386]

@Laygos no mind them....

The only part of the coastal highway close to the sea is the area around Landmark which developers of eko Atlantic are already reclaiming, so the road is not at risk in the foreseeable future. The road has it’s own environmental issues, but that is another matter. Same thing that was done at eko Atlantic can be done here, but it is expensive and this area is not prime enough to justify that. If anything, the coastal highway might be the saving grace for this area. The development the road will bring to the area might make the land desirable and attract private investors like how it happened at eko Atlantic.

One cannot struggle land with the sea or ocean.

Nigeria 🇳🇬 should seek help from Kenya 🇰🇪 Tanzania 🇹🇿 or South Africa 🇿🇦 on how to develop a country. If you go to those countries i mentioned you will see how develop they're, this place should be developed for tourist and the government will make lot of money from it, but our government are wicked and uneducated

[@mashabafxacadamy]

Thank you for accepting the truth brother..I wish most Nigerians had the same mindset like yours..unlike the once we see online comparing Nigeria to SA ..they ignore the fact that SA is carrying Africa in a lot different ways.they call themselves the smartest people on earth.they don't want to learn

[@tombimashri8149]

Tourist are afraid to visit any country that is not safe nd ir heavily corrupt. They want to go where it's safe

[@tombimashri8149]

Nigerians just need some whites. Halcaste added in their Parliament such as ministry of Health, Roads. Education, Social where order nd transparency is key

[@BasiruOnabajoAzeez]

That population is not in Okun Afa or Alfa beach 20 years ago. Those shanties sprang up few years ago.

[@Arigbabuwo-zr4sy]

Reporter, don't go under that weak structure again, it can collapse any time.

[@elizabethidemudia6039]

They know what to do, give what caesar needs to caesar before is too late ooo

[@nkechijoshua9393]

What is President Tinubu planning to do to alleviate this mortality looming?

[@denniskcobi3470]

This is the beginning more is coming to happen, where as there is no tomorrow or hope for in ijaw tribe land where the money is coming from one Nigeria without meaning indeed

[@bakaregbenga3386]

Majority of u don't listen to what is being said before jumping to silly conclusion...

[@denniskcobi3470]

@bakaregbenga3386 what she said and what is happening in lagos and other places is there any different from the comments people post

[@bakaregbenga3386]

@denniskcobi3470 other places was not documented here...and again the government seems to be very aware of everything and ask work on it before and will do so again in Lagos .. someone mention wasting money, didn't u here the amount spent there in the past and how much it's gonna cost even now....

[@denniskcobi3470]

@bakaregbenga3386 yes because that have been a primitive system in Nigeria instead of to copy the original from the country that build or developed it well such projects, you will see differently thing in Nigeria every year or month you will see the same Nigeria government spend more money on the same thing , go to Nigeria as a whole all the roads in Nigeria, even that costal high way it is not a one year projects to finished where iam

[@bakaregbenga3386]

@denniskcobi3470 there is no different thing in any Nigeria...they do their work maybe slower than expected but it will be done....we watch palliative given few days ago to his December in CANADA of all places...the crowd was much than the one in Nigeria waiting to get something, at the end of the day ,so many didn't get cos the palliative didn't go round,they left peacefully..Stop giving Nigeria bad name....U urself can't perform better if u are in government...

[@genesiajames3293]

Africa been switching there decisions, and taken far interest; the need to stop Start taking care of there own countries

[@tombimashri8149]

Pse what tribe are these people? X you

[@lawrenceokechukwu8680]

Yoruba and Fulani said there is nothing like climate change but Allah's doing" so let them wait for their Allah to come do it for them! and this community is actually in their so-called lagos isn't it? those who deprived others sleep will not sleep either
