Aiyetoro lived in peace and serenity until our oil attracted the government. The land was distorted, the sea rose and began to intrude into the town. Houses have gone, people are dying. #SaveAyetoroNow
Since the early 2000s, rising sea levels have been slowly swallowing the Nigerian coastal community of Ayetoro.

This is sadly disheartening for a community with innovative technological technocrats that all tiers of Nigerian government are supposed to be proud of, is now at the derogatory mercy of incessant sea incursion with almost 90% land mass washed away.
#SaveAyetoroCommunityNow
This is my community, my home town. The pride of Ilajeland, gradually going into extinction. The @HouseNGR and @NGRSenate has taken up this case for years but nothing has been done. All they gave us was investigation.

@DavidHundeyin This is Aiyetoro Community, Ilaje, Ondo State. An oil producing community that's about to go into extinction as a result of climate change. Our leaders are currently attending #Cop28Dubai while they all turned deaf ear to our persistent cry for help. Please #SaveAiyetoroNow
We cannot overemphasize the need for quick intervention at Ayetoro Community in Ondo state.
The community is sinking
75% of land gone
80% of population displaced
About 9billion worth of NDDC Contracts abandoned

the community that was once an abode for foreigners, has now been abandoned by the @NigeriaGov for destruction due to continuous oil exploitations by the multinational oil and gas companies in the area
