Will Eko Atlantic sink?

Eko Atlantic is a well planned project unlike the Lekki peninsula. The issues of flooding in Lekki is because of bad drainage systems on the expressway and streets across the Eti Osa local government areas.

This is WHY Lekki-Lagos Floods.

I was the one that did the pop and wall screening and painting on the first building in eko Atlantic under ITB. The engineers that did sand filling and pilling foundation told that eko Atlantic is warranty of 1000 years.

Eko Atlantic na estate? That's a city in a city 😁

I corrected that in the video.

Oh Right

As a civil engineer I’m telling you Eko Atlantic can not sink or get flooded, in fact that city saved VI from sinking.

Yea they should go chase people out of their villages and plan for the rich to settle,,,what a take !

You are right. Lagos should remain a big swampy village with huts and canoes.

Not saying it should remain a village.but govt can also develop the villages via the local governments and cda without chasing away villagers and rendering them homeless, the housing units been built you know that’s for the rich and corrupt civil servants,,n it’s by who you know

I still don’t see how asking government to plan an area properly equates to chasing poor people away.

You and I know how Nigerian govt works,,our govt is lazy ,,instead being meticulous and considering residents they rather uproot and destroy everything just to get more allocations for bogus contracts to party supporters ,,poor people are people too who have rights to live

The best location to stay in Lekki is JAKANDE, From circle mall to Pinnock beach estate down to NICON town, you can never see flood around there because the canal around those axis are so widely built

Before watching your analysis on this I want to make it clear only uneducated people should believe it would

I can tell you that 98% (to be a generous) didn't carry out topographic survey before, during and after construction(as-built). At this point, things cannot be straightened out, "we" can't bear the pain of restating, so many things have gone wrong with govt planning administrati

True

Yes it will sink in future not only eko Atlantic but entire Lagos will be covered with water in future

It will not happen immediately, but over time it will be sinking little by little. The reason why it will not happen immediately is because Lagos is not at the edge of thr tectonic plate rather it seats in the centre of the plate. It will happen but not as fast as we can imagine

Yes, town planning should happen before people go to settle in those areas. This is what Nigerian Institutions and govt responsible for town planning have failed to do all these years

Urban development mechanism should be engineered in areas from Awoyaya down to Epe for proper urbanisation and New Lagos mantra.

Gbam! My response to your previous video

Eko Atlantic would not flood and was originally built to reduce flooding in VI it's called the great wall of Lagos cos of this

Eko Altlantic will definitely sink at some point in the future. Ikoyi too. Just a matter of time. The Ocean needs to breathe and the ice are melting in the Atlantic.

I watched the YouTube video. Its good your active

You would be hated for this, my recent trip to lagos was in August 2025 and I couldn’t spend a week as I planned why? The standard of living was too chaotic and everywhere stinks including BANANA island 🤭

"urban planning is supposed to happen before people go and settle" 💯

Nice 😊

Geologically, Lagos is already experiencing localized sinking through: * natural sediment compaction, * groundwater extraction, * dredging and sand mining, * land reclamation, * wetland destruction, * and heavy urban loading.

Most of Lagos Island, Victoria Island, Lekki, and nearby coastal districts lie only about 0–5 meters above sea level. Because the terrain is extremely flat, even small increases in sea level or land subsidence significantly increase flooding risk.

Well to be sincere being a geologist half of Lagos will be flooded in the next 600 years. It may sound like oh this is far time blah blah but it’s there because Lagos geology as a whole between 200-100m below sea level. This can be overlaps due to ocean current and water level

Back in the days , The water gets so angry and pours out , but let’s hope when it happens lives aren’t lost

Don’t be too quick …let’s wait for a while

Eko Atlantic is making lekki flooded ooo. Go out when it rains and see for yourself.

Nigerian, save me, i know if i seek justice i wont get it, survived trafficking reframed Normal, she tried every means to kill me, survived taking of pix & video at gunpoint @DrTunjiAlausa @aonanuga1956 @asovilladigital @officialABAT @NgComCommission

Yes, but not in our life. Venice is already sinking, Eko Atlantic will not be any different. PS: I never watch the video oo

If Third mainland doesn’t sink since years, why would Eko Atlantic sink

Government can build bigger drainage to hold more water volume to solve the problem or turn some road to under ground storage Like s mini Tokyo drainage system

Your painter is a big fool, see how he destroyed your door with paint could not even straighten the edges. I don't know why our artisan don't give attention to little things, am equally battling samething in my apartment. I get angry each time I see it. Good content

Lagos sits within the eastern Dahomey Basin and near the western margin of the Niger Delta Basin, on a low lying coastal barrier lagoon system made up of unconsolidated sands, muds, peat, and alluvial sediments. These sediments are weak, compressible, and naturally prone to subsi
