Instead of our governors to be visionary like this, and also, we holding them accountable, we're complaining about the FG. Kudos to LASG for this initiative.

WIZGUY69:



Yes!

That's their wish, coz erosion has already taken over their villages. so they are wishing another man the same evil that befell them.

Yes.

IPOB Youth line of thinking

Infrastructure built on Yorubaland has nothing to do with Yorubas

A project facilitated by the Lagos State Government has nothing to do with Yorubas

Why Dutch, British? I thought it was 100% owned by IPOB youths?

Shiooor....

To be fair, a similar project is going on in Enugu - the Centenary City project. But Eko Atlantic is on a more massive scale though.

What are you doing here...don't you have a few protests to engage your deliquent time...and how do you think an investment of such billions of dollars will not translate into jobs and the trickle down effect and that is if some of the prime land and properties do not already belong to prominent omooluabis...smh at envious ipod youths like you...

MXrep:
If we follow yoruba line of reasoning, Gwari ppl are the most sucessful tribe in Nigeria, Abuja is Gwari land. Lol

GodMode:


Its in Abuja

OgbeifunErom:


Interesting

What experience and qualifications do you have sir?

If you are so concerned and knowledgeable, why have you not voiced your concerns to the appropriate bodies?

You think there is a scarcity of scientists on the team that developed and are implementing the project?

And who asked you if you are Yoruba? who cares?

Leave trash for Lawma abeg

Dey hasten d work...because I wan relocate dere as soon as possible

Thats what you miss. The price of land is minute and inconsequential to government compared to opportunities.

These guys constructing won't bring foreigners to build, they will employ people locally. Those construction workers will eat, commute, buy recharge card, pay taxes and that way, a lot of jobs are created and wealth is spread.

When theu companies start, they will employ Nigerians. They are creating jobs, they will pay tax, a lot of them will endorse entertainers, some will sponsor events like sports and upcoming sportsmen and women.

They will set up manufacturing plants and employ people and even if they dont export, we reduce what we import hence making the economy better.

This is not about land or who owns most of the property but the fact that those who buy and build will be adding value to the local economy

jidestar:
I agree with the poster, yoruba has nothing to do with Eko Atlanti, it is purely a British, US and Dutch venture.


They are indeed building a tax free haven.

Altho I'm yoruba, this project has adverse effects later cos the water would still reclaim d land back due to the gradually increasing hydrostatic pressure unless there is an outlet (which must be big enough). But an outlet channel for water ain't feasible since it is water from the ocean.

arresa:



Exactly why do you people migrate to poverty land to make a living and feed your family?

Don't you know when people are poor, they obviously have no money and you can not make any money from them so exactly why do you keep going there and even.

It is the other way around, you are poor and you migrate to rich places with disposable income for your daily bread and survival..

This basic common sense...

What is the SEEMELIAR??

phabulous88:
The price of one square metre of land in Eko Atlantic city is between $1,500 and $2,200. How many of you here can afford it? And just so you know, your average room size is about 12 square metres

As far as I am concerned, Eko Atlantic is a total waste of time, money and efforts. There are so many lands to be developed onshore, why go offshore? The money could have been spent fixing other infrastructures like multiple railway lines from the mainland to the Island - VI, Ajah, Lekki.., the 4th mainland bridge etc.
