Bar Beach Lagos, Nigeria.

 



Bar Beach was a very popular tourist site some

Years back especially during festive seasons.


These young stars shared their talent of rapping with me.










It is on the Atlantic Ocean along Lagos shoreline.

Bar Beach is situated at Victoria Island, Lagos State

Nigeria.

 





A little history of the beach:

It was actually a venue where armed robbers and

Coup plotters were executed by firing squad in the

70’s.

From the 80’s it started overflowing its banks, which

resulted to flooding that led to loss of lives and properties.

In 2000’s the serving Governor of Lagos state, commissioned

 EKO Atlantic city, 2016 precisely.

 Eko Atlantic city is currently sited on Bar Beach with a plan of

Building residential and business district which will occupy 10million

Square meters with 8.5kilometer long sea wall.

It will be nice to visit Bar Beach when next you  are in Lagos or Nigeria.

First Airport run by solar power in Africa

Image
George Airport is located at the heart of the Western Cape’s Garden Route; a fashionable holiday destination and home to many of South Africa’s most affluent residents.  It handles over 600,000 passengers a year, many of them tourists, but it's also a national distribution hub for cargo such as flowers, fish, oysters, herbs and ferns. George Airport is the first in Africa to be powered by solar energy. It is expected to harness 41% of its energy from the sun. The facility started with 3000 photovoltaic modules and will increase its capacity gradually to deliver 750kw power at full production.          I will say a big congratulations to the South Africa Government for this accomplishment.
