Hurricane Sandy fallout may affect Lagos –Govt


The Lagos State Government on Tuesday warned residents of the state to prepare for the ripple effect of Hurricane Sandy in the state.

Hurricane Sandy is a 2012 late-season violent tropical storm that has affected Jamaica, Cuba, the Bahamas, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the eastern seaboard of the United States of America.

The Commissioner for Waterfront Development and Infrastructure, Mr. Adesegun Oniru, said the government was projecting that within seven to 14 days, the state would experience the ripple effect of the hurricane in its coast lines.

He explained that the government based its projection on, “experience, records and study of past happenings” and had started taking precautionary measures.

Oniru said, “This warning is not to cause panic in Lagos, but to place us all on alert that if we notice anything unusual in our coast lines, we should not go near the waters but rather call government attention.

“This storm has hit the Caribbean and is now in USA. We always get a ripple effect of such happening in Lagos.

“This wind started in Africa, went west gathering more wind and later turning to hurricane. We expect a splash back effect. It could be on our coast lines and shore lines, it could be more than that. And it may not happen at all. Everybody must be vigilant. Let us be careful around our oceans and lagoons.”

The commissioner said the government was planning to protect Kuramo, Oniru, Majidun, Alpha beach and other areas affected by the last ocean surge in the state.

The Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on the Environment, Dr. Taofeek Folami, urged the residents of the state to avoid flooding effect of the storm by refraining from dumping their refuse into drainage channels.

The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Lateef Ibirogba, urged the state residents not to panic, saying the alert was for them to know what to do to prepare for such occurence.

    Its basis is the diet supposedly consumed by early humans during the Paleolithic
    era. Some may suggest that if Cavemen did eat it we in modern society should
    eat it. - Flip the bread onto a tray that is not lined with
    a Paraflexx sheet. Why has the "New Left" not been more successful in electing their candidates and passing a transformative stream of legislation through the
    Congress.

    Because the diet is so low in calories and high in fiber, you could be hungry for the entire
    week you are on the Cabbage Soup Diet. Cook noodles in boiling water for 4
    to 5 minutes; drain thoroughly. - Flip the bread onto a tray that
    is not lined with a Paraflexx sheet. Disclaimer:

    Unique Inlays: Unique inlays in tungsten rings consist
    of shell, carbon fiber and wood. So just who in Hollywood is wearing a promise ring these
    days. After the removal of the pornographic
    application known as "Hottest Girls" (designed by app developer Allen Leung) for
    the increasingly popular Apple i - Phone, it
    seems the multinational consumer electronics giant is seeking
    to clear its name of any connection to sexually explicit
    material.

    However, modern times demand a new look at why we give or possess the diamond ring.

    Shell cameos are carved from a single piece of shell. The campaign was rolled out in 1950;
    within a few years, diamond jewelers could barely keep up with the demand for diamond rings
    - including mens diamond rings.
