This is prestigious Victoria Island, on a lagoon set back from the Atlantic, home to some of Africa's most expensive real estate. Building disasters are common in Nigeria. Regulations aren't always enforced, and that often leads to structures erected quickly and - sometimes - unsafe.
这里是享有声望的维多利亚岛，位于大西洋形成的一个咸水湖，非洲许多最昂贵的住宅就位于这里。建筑事故在尼日利亚非常常见。监管措施通常没有执行，导致建筑速度非常快，有时也会非常不安全。
