    In Ayetoro, a coastal community in Ondo State, south-west Nigeria, residents say the sea has already swallowed more than half of the town. As rising sea levels and stronger ocean surges hit Nigeria’s Atlantic coastline, people in the community say they are watching their homes, livelihoods and history slowly disappear beneath the water. 🎬 Producer: Abayomi adisa 🎤 Reporter: Esther Omopariola 🎥 🎞️ Filmed and edited by: Gift.
