Nothing we can do to cure " these people" of their childish chestbeating...........but be careful not to rip your rib cage apart with this your latest chestbeating pro max. Same onitsha that we know? Na wa o

No Nigerian city looks like this 3d rendering. not even Abuja or Onitsha with it's 4 story buildings. Only Onitsha and maybe Aba comes close though, but not quite. Most Nigerian cities are actually towns, not real cities. in this modern times , highrise structures define cityscapes.
In recent times there's been a lot of focus on roads in Nigeria, albeit we still haven't mastered building roads with drainage and sidewalks. Even so , I think attention should also be given to buildings.


In order to achieve this , all Nigerian cities need new city plan. many structures would have to demolished to erect highrise apartments. It may not have to occur all at once, it could be within a period of time , as long as the blue print is followed by successive governments

The economic conditions of a average man cannot make him build this kind building.
Only rouges and politicians dey build this type.
None of those model building ll cost less than N50m. Can an average Nigerian civil servant build that in 30 years? Only few with side hustles or illegal earnings.

SeaTrade:
High Rise doesn't just come because they want to beautify a city.
It is driven by a city's income of its populace,in effect the kind of businesses situated there and the number of such businesses.
The few skyscrapers for Eko Atlantic never even full ,talkless of building such in poorer places like Aba and Onitsha.
The building go just remain empty and fall of on its own due to lack of income from consumers to run the place.
Do you know the running cost of such big buildings?
These things have a lot of economics tied to it,not just emotions or what you think should be.

SUPERPACK:
The question should be why will you have money to build a 25 storey building but can't afford money for renewable energy to power it. Such buildings don't depend on government for power they normally employ wind turbines, solar panels and generators for backup. In fact it should be a law that any new building above a storey should not be allowed to join the national grid to encourage diversification in the energy sector.

Cities like that run on Electricity to power elevator

I once lived on the 23rd floor of Al Nahda building Sharjah UAE.. Everything was fine and smooth for many months till powercut happened one horrible unforgettable day in the whole of Sharjah

Imagine climbing flights of steps from ground floor, 2 floor parking and 27 step to work, to eat, and to buy groceries

How many Nigerians can pay outrageous electricity bill, gas bill, water bill, waste disposal bill and service and maintenance fee on a monthly bases

Most rich Europeans and Americans prefer suburban houses and mansions to this city towers

Limassol:
Generators? that's unsustainable. Turbines? yo u kidding, right. Listen, just like other commenters made clear, the goverment must provide basic infrastructure like power for the country to witness explosive growth, suggesting the goverment outsource its responsibility to ordinary individuals as ever would take the country nowhere.

If you ain't one and don't wanna be seen as one,they geddifok outta my mention

Individual has no business building houses.

Government and private sectors should be the ones building and selling houses or apartment by offering montage scheme facility.

You can buy as small as a room self contain, flat, a whole house, etc base on your income or capacity.

baralatie:

They will import generator to power the whole state

AFONJAPIG:

This is a pic of Uyo . Imagine if all those bungalows and shanties are demolished and replace with even 8 stories .
The 20 story highrise in Uyo is a good step ,but highrise does not always have to be for office purposes. Nigerians must get used to highrise living ,not necessarily for office purposes.

Sweetplum:

Broda Yemi, I blv you are a Nigerian. Is the govt of your country very responsible in the area of building houses or housing estates?

yemmit90:


Nigeria dont even have what should be called government but assembly of business men and women using the title to steal from national treasury.

For Nigeria to have anything that resemble modern city, private individuals must be bans from erecting different sub-standard structures in our major cities. Government, big organisations and well established private sectors should be in charge of housing. Mortage system should be well structured in such a way that will be very convenient for low or middle class citizens to own a house at city centre.
