Africa's most populous city of over 24 million may soon be unlivable as sea levels rise due to the climate crisis, experts warn

Lagos, Nigeria Cars and houses submerged in water, commuters wading through buses knee-high in floods, and homeowners counting the cost of destroyed properties.

Welcome to Lagos during rainy season. Residents of Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, are used to the yearly floods that engulf the coastal city during the months of March to November.

Really. Come look at the Maine coast . Earths axis is tilting a little like it always does.

Mas está tão feio em Penedo. Tem certeza disso? (CONTÉM IRONIA)

The cause of this, glossed over in the article is coastal erosion because they mined the sand from their shoreline.

Not “CLIMATE CHANGE”, But the city’s drainage system mostly poorly planned and, in some places, non-existent, flooding has become a costly annual experience. The floods have been mainly seen on Lagos Island, the major business district because the GUTTERS are plugged.

So why did Obama buy a $14M ocean front estate? Someone is lying!

It is impressive this is their most populous city

Hey CNN, I actually leave in this city, your climate marketing bs won't sell here.

It's disgusting how many people around the world still go with the soothing 'cLiMAte ChAnGe iS a HoAx' stupid narrative. I guess ignorance is bliss, until it kills you in a flood, wildfire, or drought.

People who want you to be scared of rising sea levels live here. A few feet over see level.

I think the flooding is more to do with the incoming pole shift, Earth's poles reverse every 10-12,000 years, the floods in all the religious texts are a warning.

Sounds like an African Venice is coming.

Not surprising

It may soon be Miami, or lower NYC.

Just cuz god lets you do bad doesnt mean you goin to heaven bout it u still goin to hell forever

In 10 million years from now

Impossible, this will not happen, because there is another hidden continent and it will return to its place, Nigeria will not drown

😢

WOW, I live in NYC, and we have 8-1/2 million, and it feels very crowded, I can't imagine living in that African city, I don't think there's elbow room to move around. God bless their City and protect it from any flood.

Perhaps you should realize once upon a very long time ago the sea levels were higher than what they currently are. There were no polar ice caps and CNN wasn’t around spouting so much bullshit and fear mongering.

Climate crisis is the scariest thing. Hope everything be okay.

In the article it is mentioned that there is a lot of erosion caused by the mining of sand from the coastline.

The will all be welcomed with open arms into the alpine countries where they can live a comfortable socially secure life.

The flooding problem in this city is due to unregulated growth and an unmaintained drainage system. It says that in the article. CNN wants you to think it’s already doomsday.

If the blood of Jesus forgave you and you fasted 1x week Christ sees the Holy Spirit in you and uses you to anoint with oil and break the bread of the 3rd year with the orphans and widows and raptures you. To help this word starting in Brazil Nubank pix30576180300 or prayer amen!

You know.... when we first started colonizing the world we didn't understand that the Earth is alive and constantly changing. But,,, we do now. And yet we still build where we know disaster is going to strike. Over, and over again. Pretty sure they define that as insanity.

African must wakeup to environment degradation.

Sad.
