It is called act of God and nothing the govt can do about this. U should stop blaming govt for everything. People living in the bay area are aware of risks of ocean surge. This does not only happen in Nigeria, remember hurricane Katrina that happened in the USA in 2005 killing thousands and destroying properties worth more than $100 billion. Also hurricane Irene in 2011 still in the USA destroying properties worth about $60 billion. These things are act of God and little can be done to prevent them. If u are living close to the ocean, u should be aware that these things are bound to happen.

Do u also blame the govt in the event of earthquake or volcanic disaster?

baralatie:

do you understand property insurance and its rules.you want insurance companies to pay damage to property as a result of natural disasters.you employers for sack you tey,tey!
this a a natural phenomenon,the property owner are on their own.

baralatie:

calculate all the properties in that region and multiply by 10 it will not cover the cost of protection works on that coastline at all.

There has always been ocean surge at Alpha beach even prior to 2010. I live close and have been visiting the beach for over 15 years. Years back, coconut trees lined the beach and you'll walk through several rows and an appreciable distance to get to the coastline. Due to ocean surge and gradual encroachment of the land, all the coconut trees and the coastal road linking Okun Ajah has been eaten up by the sea! The Sea is just closing up on you now!!

You just showed your level of knowledge on the hurricane Katrina issue with the government receiving blame for the failure of the levee system which was to hold the water at bay. My good man I'm an engineer so when you speak of such things I'd know.

Also what we have in Nigeria are not hurricanes rather poor waterfront controls, I'm sure the residents of Florida and new Orleans would rather have out situation than theirs

Olaolufred:
There is land at Ogijo, Ogere, Sagamu, Ijebu etc. yet many settled for ocean view.

Ocean is trying to come closer and become more an intimate friend, they are calling government.

Are every land covered with brushes or grasses suitable for houses vis a vis Erosion, environmental risk?

And most of these folks were criticizing lagos for starting eko atlantic city which is aimed partly at protecting V.I.

Well, Hope for you folks in future, but not in the immediate.

Dude I know this ain't hurricane. I'm not comparing it with Katrina or Irene, I only used that as illustration. Africans especially Nigerians like blaming the goverment for eventyhing even in the case of natural disaster. If I have a property worth N10million and its about getting destroyed unless I spend N100 million yo save it. Then I'm better off letting the property go and spend the N100 million to squire another property somewhere else.

I had a dream alpha beach was obliterated by a tsunami 2 nights ago...just a dream.

stevecantrell:


This is far from a tsunami, so they should be grateful.

BlaqCoffee109:

stevecantrell:
