If you read my post yesterday, I complained about the irregular weather condition of Lagos, where I stay. Today, I bring you one of the reasons and a few photos to show you more about it.

I mentioned overcrowding yesterday, yes, Lagos is overcrowded. The land contains more people than it can hold. Currently, 21 million people live in a land of about 999.6 km^2, this has led to an increased level of pollution, lesser air flow and the likes.

To my surprise, the government is currently sand-filling the Lagos Lagoon beneath the 3rd Mainland Bridge just to accomodate more houses for people neglecting the fact that there might be repercussions. Below are some pictures of the sand filling.

Thanks for coming around today...
