The barbeach problem is in two dimensions. The barbeach flood will continue as long as the Lagos sea port entry channel remains. The port access from the Atlantic was protected from siltation by building three moles at the entry. The moles have over the years disturbed the natural stability Along the coast. It is noteworthy to say that the two barrier beaches exist west and east of the port entry and as the years rolled by, the light house beach on the west is expanding oceanward while the barbeach on the west side is eroded daily inland.
The flooding is further complicated by the erosion and drainage problems within the island.
The flood problems can only be solved if the problems are analyzed by the right professionals and a management committee set up to enforce routine maintenance and management of the coastline and inland drainages.
