Enough of this "Africa" thing that Western media outlets love because they know how it resonates in the subconscious of their Western readers. The country is Malawi. Not an entire continent.

There’s a community on the coastline in Lagos - Okun Alfa. My team and I spent two years monitoring the rapid rate of erosion there (link to documentary in my bio). To start a coastal road in a state like Lagos without a fully approved EIA is very worrying.

Kilometers 16-25 has nothing to do with Landmark. Landmark is within kilometers 1-4. The government is not going back to their original alignment for the whole first phase of the road, just for kilometers 16-25. After km 25, the new alignment will continue.

A state governor helps “reconcile” a case of domestic violence rather than ensuring the perpetrator faces the law. How sickening.

This morning leaving work, a police officer asked if I could give him a ride from Ikoyi to VI. He was heading to work in Lekki from Iyana Ipaja and is counting on good samaritans approved to be on the roads to get him to work every day.

Most countries on the coast have coastal highways. Of course it’ll be great to have a road that connects the SW to the SE to the SS. But the importance of a robust assessment can’t be overstated. Erosion, sea level rise and ocean pressure must be taken seriously.

This is between kilometers 16 and 25 of the coastal highway. Also why we kept pushing on the ESIA to be made public.

Some environment experts say that if done properly, a coastal road can actually protect Lagos from these issues. That’s why we need a full EIA. To understand exactly what we’re getting ourselves into. And an Environmental Management Plan too.

This lockdown came with no structure or plans in place for several citizens with different duties. But as usual, a blind eye is turned. Don’t get me wrong, a lockdown is necessary. But this is not being handled right.
