Basic123: Eko Atlantic’s “Great Wall of Lagos” exceeds 6km length
Eko Atlantic, a brand new city being built adjacent to Victoria Island, Lagos, announces the Great Wall of Lagos has surpassed 6 kilometres in length. Construction of the Great Wall of Lagos, which can be seen from space, began construction in 2009. The wall, which will reach 8.5 kilometers upon completion, is a large sea revetment that protects the emerging new city, Victoria Island, and parts of Lekki from the threat of flooding due to coastal erosion and ocean surge.
“Various Nigerian and international searches show that the erosion rate of the Lagos coast, since as far as back 1910’s, when the record began, has been in the order of 2 to 10 meters per year” says Daniel Kamau, Managing Director, Royal Haskoning Engineering Consultants, the appointed marine engineers for the Eko Atlantic Project. “The land where Eko Atlantic is being built existed historically, but has eroded over a long period. Eko Atlantic will restore some of the land lost to the sea and protect it from erosion,” he concluded.
The revetment uses a proven method of Accropode units as primary armour for the structure. Each accropode is made on site and weighs 5 tons. 100,000 accropodes will be placed in a predefined grid, using a GPS system for pin-point accuracy.
The basic principles of revetment, as a proven engineering solution for river and coastal protection, have been used for centuries, if not millenniums, around the world. The sea wall is designed and tested to handle the worst storms in hundreds/thousand years, putting into consideration global warming and rising sea levels. This project is wonderful , but it leaves the other low leveled areas prone to flooding 1 Like |

Bros, make I hear word abeg. What justice do you want to get? The guy killed himself, his stupid!ty killed him. How can a learned person go and argue with a tout of a driver? Because of what exactly? What do you think would happen? Why didn't he go to the police to seek justice? That's what you get when you lack wisdom and self-control and be full of pride.You don't argue with touts. A tout has little or nothing to lose in a fight - even his life is of less important to him. And you, if you like, be humble and focused or stay there and be making noise. Its probably because u don't own a car or something of value to you So, what u are insinuating is that ,ur wife can be raped ,ur mother killed by a tout or even ur car bashedby a tout U wouldn't do anything, u'll Jes be looking lyk a zombie my bro, FEAR has made u intellectually lazy and unable to rationalize |

Btruth: ....build your faith to the level of understanding that God has His reason (only Him understand) of taking them to Himself. Either old or young, we ALL are going to die anyway. So, why taking out our frustration on God whenever our love ones passed on. Religion has clouded ur judgment and ur ability to think rationally, less I forget it has also made u intellectually lazy |
