This is not a state in the SE, it is a performing state. Stop the hate

micktoxin:
I speak for most people( esp second generations of Nigerians abroad) when I say the reason most people haven't come back to settle down is mostly down to the poor infrastructures. Imagine thousands of fellow Nigerians like me and my family/friends selling all their assets to relocate back to Nigeria.
Tell me this won't positively affect Nigerians. Nigerians send $20-30 billion back to Nigeria every year, imagine if they all move back to invest in the country. Nigeria economy will automatically grow by at least %10. Talk less of the improvement due to increase in expertise in many white and blue collar jobs.
The snowball effect is simply too great.

Let me tell you a story:






Moral of the story- FIX the underlying issues first instead of expecting "trickle down" effect.
Europe and America did not develop that way. They focused first and continue to focus on MASS education.
China, India, Korea etc are also doing same with outstanding results.

Our late great sage, Awo understood that and transformed the Western region in just six years (1954-1960):

Sadly, the akotiletas prodigal sons of Thief'nuibu cabal that have held us in bondage since 1999 do not understand this BASIC tenet of sustainable development!

Obiodunukwe:


Nonsense.

Tell that to the dogs.
The project is in Yorubaland, the vision for the project was orchestrated by Yoruba men and women.

I will not edit the post because the poster is wishing that the project fails.

Is that how they do it in the UK, USA, Canada, Italy and those other places where Lagosians, Nigerians and black Africans are risking their lives to cross the desert and Mediterranean Sea just to be under-employed, work their arse off contributing to the development of these oyinbo societies while ours rot away WITHOUT even been acknowledged for their efforts

Trust me, UK has its own problem but they don't talk about it the way we Nigerians do. Most African government are criminals. This is a well know fact. They think about themselves a lot. The Mayfair apartment in London (One of the most expensive in UK) has a lot of Nigerian politicians as owners.They have stolen a lot from Nigerians and nothing can be done about it. I dont even trust Buhari.

I can't talk a lot but let me ask you. What do you want Nigerians to do? . I don't want to take this topic to politic but i'll really like to hear your opinion.





Is it that we are such a SHAMELESS bunch of mofos

It's about being a SE state.......n south east states dont abandon projects.........such only happens in the north.....

It's about plunging the state n the Federal gov in2 a huge un-payable Debt........cos if dat happens it'll be abandoned...... Such a project'll take a period of 2decadeds (2Oyears) n it must be fully funded by a good state government with foresight

Fashola has started work.........

can ambode continue without changing anything from the plan......

We all know that fashola is uncontrollable ,can ambode do the same.....
Remember that ambode is not a politician .....unlike ganiyu solomon , honorable yayi n co....

Thats the main question......

QuotaSystem:
Nice. With Lagos as a ruling party state, this project has never had a brighter chance of completion than right now. We enjoin Engr. Kwankwaso and El-Rufai to deliver similarly scaled projects in Arewa just like the recent longest fly over in Africa, with the support of our Lagos counterparts.

micktoxin:
Sir, you are missing the point. This project is independent of government funding, which means all the things you are complaining about can also be developed in parallel.
Let's agree to disagree.

Beautiful, eagerly looking forward to it. What scares some of us from living on the island is the ocean. What if a tsunami happens? Pardon me,I have a very wild imagination!

CFCfan:

Nwanne, it's a purely private project; thus I don't see how South Energyx would abandon their project midway after spending billions of $.
I pray I'll own a plot of land there

CFCfan:

The EIA report gave the developers the green light to embark on the project. And the city is designed in such a way that the worst ocean surge would not cause massive flooding in the city.

docsholz:
I'll believe when it's completed

But they are NOT being developed in parallel, or are they

How many children do you see roaming the street or stuck in their parents' home because they can not go to school in Lagos state today?

Why should an "excellent" governor be boasting over 14% FAILURE in education sector?
Why?

oduastates:

.......................

6 fourth mainland bridge ( to enhance transportation between the mainland and the islands. I believe that the business case for it is not ripe yet.)

All these projects are inter-linked by a common strategy. To make lagos a world city.
Being done in a different way but this is exactly how many countries develop.
Be it dubai or Singapore.
By doing interlinked projects. One project in a portfolio leading to the necessity(business case) for another project.
Not the rubbish other governors and presidents do. Just build rubbish all over the place without any vision

The 100,000 tree seedlings being bred to line the streets, avenues and boulevards.

At 30km, I can perceive the stench emanating from the oily rotten soup by these imbecillic cowards.

They have started to derail this wonderful thread. I wonder why they can't keep their mouths shot! Anything "Igbo" gives them nightmare.

mrmetoo1:
You know you're only being dishonest if you say Fashola hasn't done well with regards to education especially with your recycled pictures.

- Government grants the developers licence, not so?
- Government gave the land, HOPEFULLY at a good annual RENT paid to the state coffers, not so?

Apart from other IMPLICATIONS of government in this particular venture and any other private venture in the state.
Hope you understand!

Fashola is a FAILURE in the education sector or how do you classify a score of 14% in PUBLIC schools provision without even taking into account the % of children who cannot go to ANY school at all- whether private or public
