Lagos Was Losing the War with the Ocean… So Nigeria Did THIS

Описание: This Nigerian City Shouldn’t Exist… But It’s Rising from the Atlantic.

Lagos was losing a war against the ocean. Bar Beach was disappearing, Victoria Island was flooding, and experts warned that key parts of Nigeria’s commercial capital could vanish under water.

So Lagos did something almost impossible:
It decided not just to fight the Atlantic… but to build a brand-new city on top of it.

In this documentary, we dive deep into Eko Atlantic – the controversial $6 billion mega-project that reclaimed land from the sea, built the Great Wall of Lagos, and created a private oceanfront city promising to protect Lagos from the next big flood.

We’ll explore:

🌊 How coastal erosion nearly destroyed Bar Beach and Victoria Island

🧱 The engineering behind the 8.5km Great Wall of Lagos

🏙️ Why Eko Atlantic is marketed as “Nigeria’s International Commerce City”

💰 Who is investing here – from luxury towers to the $537 million US Consulate

🌍 Why critics call it “climate apartheid” and fear it’s a fortress for the ultra-rich

⚖️ Whether this new city can truly help Lagos… or leave the rest of the city behind

Is Eko Atlantic the future of African cities – or a warning about what happens when climate change, inequality, and mega-money collide on the shoreline?

Watch till the end and tell me in the comments:
Did Nigeria just save Lagos… or build a city that shouldn’t exist?
