Tony Spike: May their souls rest in peace. On a scientific note, isn't there supposed a high probability of an ocean surge at the end of a lunar cycle? Can anyone confirm this?

So science made us know. But what can this confirmation help us do again? Use a rod as leverage to wedge the moon in order to r[i]e[/i]tard its gravitation?

Very informative stuff

19naia: My first thought was the same as yours but also sometimes it can come from distant bad winds in the ocean...I Searched on a web site "Latest earthquakes in the world-past 7 days." Just type that into google or so and there is a USGS (united states geological survey) list of all the significant quakes in the world..I checkit every day........The list shows an earthquake in the mid atlantic fault right on same latitude as nigerian coast..It was 5.2 quake aug 17 and is big enough to make small surge to reach lagos and even delta coastal regions.The 1st report was august 18, so maybe it was from august 17 event which took many hours to reach lagos..It is possible that offshore underwater ridges near lagos could have swelled the surge into lagos area....This is not an official report,only my own independant considerations....Be safe you ocean dwelling people and maybe Naija government has been right to remove all the waterfront settlers in lagos..I hope the government will offer alternative resettlement and not just evict them to wander lost....

I pity those that want to stay at the eko atlantic city, land full epe, badagry and ikorodu, yet it is ocean at lekki that they want to sand fill and build city on top.
They would just wake up and find themselves in the middle of the ocean.
RIP to the dead.

Actually, there is little one can do against natural occurences such as ocean surges. However, understanding the relationship(s) between lunar cycle, earth-moon gravitation and oceanic cyclical effects can provide us great information on where and when the next disaster might occur. This is my point.

The 'Poles' are shifting and the 'tilt' of the earth on its axis is changing.

This is well known - some say we can expect the poles of the earth to 'flip' anytime now.

There are many underwater cities that once thrived but are now buried under the sea - its inevitable the same fate awaits lagos (and many other coastal regions).

@Anitank Qoute"End time!!"




Plz dont bring religious sentiment to this, Ocean Surge, Earthquake, Mudslide, Flood and all natural disaster has be happening for century so its never a new thing or first of its kind, all I expect from you is to sympatize with those that lost their lives and offer a good advise to prevent human casuality in the future. Plz dont take this personal. God bless

When LASG demolished the slum in Makoko some dwellers there condemned the action of the State Government. If the demolition wasn't carried out now this will most likely be their lot sooner or later.

Nigerians especially Lagosians have allowed their towns and villages to be used as a dumping ground for cars that have been deemed unsafe and unfit to ply the streets of Europe, right...well, yes because having two of those broken down cars in each compound appears to be a sign of riches in naija!

Well, there is something y'all need to know... those cars where taken off the roads in Europe because they could not pass standard emissions tests - tests designed to remove highly polluting cars from the road.

Such pollutions warms up our atmosphere and that in turn melts the ice in the Arctic and Antarctica and that in turn raises the Sea and Ocean levels and that in turn will eventually submerge coastal cities like Lagos!

get it??

This is probably gonna sound ignorant but you know what. . .I don't care, I honestly don't understand how lands in the area go for the ridiculous prices they do. It's not the there are provisions in place for when stuff like these happen.

You spend heaven and earth to buy land and then the next rainfall your couch is doing a float by around the neighborhood.

I just don't get it. undecided
