[quote author=litaninja post=34105463][/quote] Why should the laborers that work have there to be able to afford to live there?? Where in the world does that happen?? The masons, painters and so on that work on the mansions in Beverly Hills, can they afford to live there?? The window cleaners that clean high rise buildings in every part of the world can they afford to live there? So why do you all of a sudden expect it to happen here. Do you know the amount of money this project will generate to make the lives of these laborers better?? Too many people on this thread are showing themselves sha, is this really that difficult to understand 3 Likes 1 Share |

Great project. I hope it succeeds. The part of this project that I don't feel comfortable with is the ground level of the land fill from the ocean this doesn't appear high enough and might consequently make this mini city susceptible to flooding from the ocean tides as well as the drainage issues caused by insufficient gradient. I am guessing that if this becomes a problem, the city handlers will try to build ocean barrier walls around the city. This would solve the wave erosion problems, but will further make the city susceptible to flooding as it would be difficult for water to also get out when it has got in. ....my best wishes 3 Likes |

mrmetoo1:Really?. I loved that render. Yeah, I was told it was in high demand the last time I emailed ekopearl. I wouldn't worry about that now, nor would I advice any one into a panick buy. Personally, the best thing is to wait because there will always be better option and you might end up kicking yourself. In addition, I am sure space will free up in eko pearl. 1 Like |

I am happy for Lagos and also Nigeria as this kind of project puts us on d wotld map for tourism. Thank God for the visionary leadership of Tinubu and Fashola.

elohorayodele:Perhaps it is misleading, non intentionally I must add as it's still regarded as a state in USA. Nevertheless, the size is an equivalent of a lot of cities in America and England.

micktoxin: Exactly there'll definitely be better options but you know Nigeria is always a race to show who's the bigger boy. I personally prefer the Le Reve and Azuri Peninsula especially because the latter is in the marina district. I'm not going to lie, I'm just excited about the banks getting involved that are offering mortgage 1 Like |

mrmetoo1: I dont know if you live in the country or not but I'm sure you can see and hear well. If the government can't tell the private investors what they should do to improve the cost of living of the masses , something is wrong with that government. I'm not happy with the program simply because we still have more people out there finding it hard to eat just once. You mention that people like me would make billions or million from the project, how? No offense but you just didnt make sense with any of that post. Because if we cant even afford to live in the mega city , whats the purpose of building it ? Banana island for example how many people can afford to live there? Instead of trying to force a city out of the water front, they can build low cost housing estates in developing areas. No hard feelings, it's just my own view and opinion. 1 Like |

mistypiper: Smh!! Again it's not only when you can afford to live there that it's beneficial to you. Tell me what you do and I'll tell you how this project will be beneficial to you. Just because everyone in a nation cannot live in a particular neighborhood doesn't mean that neighborhood shouldn't be created. So you think because the school district in one part of a city is bad, it should stop projects going on in other more affluent parts of the city. Please step out a little bit and see how things work, how wealth is created. 3 Likes |

mrmetoo1: Nigerians love instant gratification. Most pay no taxes but want free stuffs. They tell you we have free oil. As if the oil is free. As if it does not cost the oil producing areas( not states) in terms of pollution,rampant insecurity and health damage. You say the government should do stuffs. I agree but someone has to pay it. Most of you spend N200,000 getting the latest iphone, spend N100,000 for private schools, N5 million naira on weddings but pay not one penny in taxes. Can you imagine what would have happened to schools, road, bridges, playground if all taxable adults only pay just 10% of their undeclared taxable income. In other countries , people pay Capital gains Income tax Sales tax / VAT Stamp duty Inheritance tax Dividends Tax on Taxes on Interest,rents etc MOT, congestion tax, road tax etc. Corporation tax That is why they have all those stuffs. If you have no skin the game, expect nothing. This will not make any sense to most but those who live overseas understand what I am talking about. The average Nigerian in Europe or America only starts earning money for himself in April. The equivalent of January to March incomes are taxes In other words, you are the government's biiitchhh for the first 3 months of the year. The fact is that many do not know their responsibilities as citizen and the leadership most often than not are chosen from this group. Fashola and tinubu are simply anomalies. It is like lightening striking the same place twice. 5 Likes |

Its quite annoying when you realize we have lots of individuals that have stolen enough money from this country's coffers to single handedly finance projects like this. Now imagine if they never stole that money but used it judiciously to develop cities round the Country............... We won't be where we are. 1 Like |
