Also probably not much risk of a storm surge in the Gulf of Guinea
either. However if they want to do something about it, the best thing
would be to encourage mangrove swamps along the coast.

I'm not sure whether anyone has answered this enquirer, but in case Bola
Akinye is reading this, it is safe to say that the tsunami risk to
Nigeria is virtually nil, so it looks like someone has been doing some
panic-mongering.

Subject: BAR BEACH, LAGOS, NIGERIA UNDER THREAT
I understand that the Bar Beach end of Lagos,Nigeria will soon
be submerged as a result of an imminent tsunami. From your research work
on the West Africa shoreline, what do you feel?
Which organisation is charged with the responsibility of warning
the whole world on the imminent natural disaster of particular areas.
I know there are agents that monitor the movement of waves and
other earth activities that can lead to disasters, what is there contact
address and phone number and can i talk to them? We stay near the bar
beach area of lagos and i don't want to die. Please can you confirm if
this information is true. I look forward to getting your response.
MY NUMBER 234 1 790 5928.
Thank you.
