"EKO ONI BAJE OOO"


Being an advocate for environment protection will open your eyes to current issues that affect our environments so we can take decisive actions that will make our environment sustainable (making it safer for the future generation).

Lagos as we know it is surrounded by water and this makes this city very unique and remains the pride of Nigeria, Lagos serves as the commercial nerve center of Nigeria accounting for over 60% Nigeria’s income, Lagos is precious and we love it, it is a land of opportunity where fresh graduates troops to in order to make a living, but imagine if we wake up one day and there is no Lagos anymore, its not surprising to note that Lagos is just about 7meters(22 feet) above sea level ,this makes Lagos probe to flooding and rise in sea level, The island of Kiribati is just about 4 m (13 ft) above sea level and its inhabitants are being forced to relocate due to flooding and rise in sea level.

The realities of global warming includes ice melting, flooding, and erosion, increased storm all these affecting human settlements and our  seemingly harmless human activities  has contributed to the rise in sea level cutting down trees, burning bushes  all in the name of urban development. Buildings have taken over where we are supposed to have trees and we fall tress without bothering to plant another.

I see Lagos with a sustainable environment, free from the effect of climate change, with citizens sensitive enough to protect their environment from harm. Spread the word
Thank you. #sm4cc
