Why do you Ibos remain jealous and hateful towards everything in Yoruba land? When Sheik Al Maktoum of the UAE was reclaiming the land on which the impressive, tallest building in the world now stands the Burj Khalifa, ibos did not see anything wrong with it. When they built the Burj Arab, you did not see anything wrong with it and would die just to go and import anything and stay in those hotels (only if you could afford it). When Hong Kong built some of its biggest buildings on reclaimed land, it was okay and you opened your mouths in wonderment. Now the Yorubas are building the signature city of tomorrow right on their land, which they reclaimed from the Atlantic, guess who is crying the loudest? Ibos! Your single dime is not in the investment! It is not your land, and before you get here by road you would have to cross through Delta State, our cousins state of Edo State, and I wonder why are you crying louder than the people who have direct states in this project? Geez, who said he actually went there with some of his friends actually saw some people who already built shanties to live there. The question is: do you care about their safety more than they care or you are actually jealous and you think if you cry hard enough, we would stop developing our lands?

Regionalism, followed by a total disintegration is the answer to this madness! The day Ibos would be evicted by all Nigerians back to their Iboland would be the best day ever! Then, your small government, low taxes and individualism in which every family buys their own transformer and build their own roads would be what you would have to contend with all your lives! >>

I'm really passionate about this project. I went there myself last month to see things for myself. I was really impressed with the work going on. Just hope i'll be alive to see this project mature.
Weldone Mr. Fashola!

Which first post are you talking about or are you blind ni? Whether she is SA or Ibo, since when did an anonymous forum like NL have a system of verifying who is behind what ID? In any case, you people should go back to your land and built your own cities, we don't care for your advice borne of of jealousy and envy. I am not abusing you or anyone, just saying you MUST leave, whether today or the day Nigeria breaks. This is it!

Looks nice and promising...

Sorry for speaking the truth joor.

sorry, u spoke like someone that has his/her brain placed somewhere in between the anus

LoL... One Nijeria... ...
D blood ur fathers shed to keep us in Nigeria was for what...lol
Let them start the eko atlantic abeg, at least I can personally buy like 5plots and lend it to the poor to build there thatch houses der .
MAKOKO tins

This looks promising and definitely reminds me of Dubai.

But there's one thing I can't get over or don't understand. Can someone explain to me why new land has to be created in the sea when there are large tracts of undeveloped land lying around in Lagos state (further inland, around the lagoon)? When Eko Atlantic becomes a raging success, it would be difficult and expensive to expand, whereas if it were built further inland, it could expand with ease.

Abagworo:

Countries like Hong Kong and Japan that lack land could risk the lives of their citizens by embarking on this kind of construction but not Nigeria with enough empty land to develop. Like you wrote, its for those that dream. I can't live there.

Very apt response. I wonder why folks take it personal when confronted with superior logic and cold analysis.

You should know right? Check again and see whose brain is misplaced. Must you always use slurs to show your frastration? Nigerians!

That is dubai they can mentain it we can not mentain anything. We are not even sure of how our climate will be in 10 years time. So if dubai jump in to fire we too would like to jump in to fire ? We have to think carefully before we jump into unnecessary fantasy and be real with our selves. There are a lot of lands close to the sea in lagos that could have been used and it would have looked very nice.

But seriously speaking ms bluivy I fail to understand how something being built in far away lagos is any of ur business

What are you saying and who is "WE"? Are you not the Ibo tribalist saying WE? No, when you have a sea shore to reclaim as land in your villages, you can write WE until then, start getting ready to pack out of my father's land! you ungrateful people! >>>

Sloan is Ekun oko Ibo!

I don't understand these flat heads.
The land being reclaimed is not yours,
The money used for the reclamation is not yours.
The properties to be erected there are not yours.
The financial risks involved are not yours.
The environmental risks involved are not yours.
What the heck is your problem then?

I think the reason Eko is built from reclaimed land is largely symbolic; the builders want to portrait Eko Atlantic as definitively separate from the rest of Lagos and maybe even the rest of Nigeria. I heard in their ad that everything in Eko will be done according to the best practices, and that it will have its own power and water supply.

I do think Eko will be well-maintained, for this reason. It is not to be run by the Nigerian government or the Lagos state government, but by the private Chagoury Group. It's their own money (although I'm sure the Nigerian gov't generously helped them with low-interest loans and other incentives), so it's in their interest to keep it well-maintained and not sink back into the ocean.

Its funny its the peeps that have nothing going on in their region that are crying hardest over this project.

Damn, this project is killing em inside...............I LIKE THAT!!!!!!

Why does eko Atlantic give so many people hypertension? even people as far as Botswana.. I really can't wait till it's complete, many will probably kill themselves...

my h0rny B1tch why are u attending to that guy? I need u,i need u to give me that attention not him.

I just wanna ride u slowly and suck ur b00.bs





(she go dey happy 4 her mind now,say at last a 9ja guy dey give her attention after so many years of being here )

scipher: meanwhile in abuja

Abuja
Where incoming airlines /air hostess drop off their passengers and fly to Lagos to spend the night .
Fear of terror .
Eko Atlantic is a regional play against Accra ,Cairo and joburg.
Definitely not against Abuja.
Every city and state has to develop her own character and every attempt to build a Lagos in Abuja has failed.
In fact,
Ogun state is probably going to benefit most from this eko Atlantic because every multinational boss would want his company operation close by.

pandriod: This is southwest, the best of best!
Later, some spare part selling monkeys will tell you how they are developing lagos.

hehehe, its beta 2 sell spare part n earn a gud living dan kuming 2 watch skyscrapers occupied by d super rich (of course mostly non south westners) and going home to a slum.
