Moving The Capital From Abuja

It has come time to move our capital to a new city.  abuja is just becoming too crowded with too many undesirable peeps and pollution and miscreants.  the time has come naija to move again deeper into the woods.  we should build a modern, beautiful city along the banks of the benue 100km west of makurdi.  only honorable naira will be permitted entry.  god bless naira!

which movie u dey jist??

Well it look now that some nigerian are thinking now,  really we should move the capital Abuja, to avoid what happen in lagos,  if not, abuja would end up like LAgos,  We should start planning for a new capital,  inprecise  idea is a good one,  I would think is suggestion of location is also good,  I think 100 km away from Markudi should be around lokoja area,  i think above lokoja. we should create a city and called it Gowon city ,  Or unity city,  See map,  It would cut through all the River Niger and benue,  and

we have to start planning for tomorrow now,  Abuja would end up like lagos,  so the govt should set up a body to design a new city along that bank and should move there in 30 years,  making it 60 years for abuja to be capital,  It is part of development,  there we would have big cities like lagos, abuja Gowon city or unity city or Belewa city or Zik city or Awo city or Shagari city  what ever name we decided to call it,   It would be really beautifull. we should always have project like abuja every 60 years,  it keeps the nation moving and we would develop,  ,  They should now make abuja a state , 

I disagree with you. May be you confuse Abuja with Federal Capital Territory? FCT covers a great land mass. The city is just phase 1 of the development, it extends to ABAJI towards Kogi, I think its about 5-7 phases, its not overcrowded at all, infact the inhuman activities of El Rufai confirm this, so many houses have been demolished, thereby rendering thousands homeless in the city. Also the center of Nigeria per se is around Lokoja not too far from Abaji and I know FCT is a good concept.

Moving it from her present location to me as is another venture to steal money, instead they should use any funds for such frivolous project to develop NigerDelta.

@inprecise

Have you taken the funds needed to build the new capital into consideration ? All realms of Nigeria's government; local, state, federal, are starved of funds for development.

The youths in the Niger Delta are demanding more of the oil money, We don't have enough universities to accomodate the well qualified high school graduates every year, Our highways need fixing. Even the current capital is not where it is supposed to be (phase wise) according to the original planners.

And you are thinking about buliding a new capital. Need I say more ?

Bolarge,

quite agree with u

I disagree with you all, it is time to move from abuja,  I am an engineer. and I agree that the capital of nigeria is not Abuja,  but more sout of Abaji, as he said,  that is where the centre of Nigeria is,  which is more toward kogi state,  I wonder why they place the capital in Abuja,  but that is by the way,    create a new state called Abuja state to include part of southern kaduna see map,  that stop all the problem in the area.
He is my point,  we have to plan to develop new cities,   forget about developing old city,  just let them be,    they would remain old,  go to detriot , with all the money pump in the place , it is the same way it is , Old  is old my friend, 
We have to move again, forget about the cost,  This project are for our children,  And also forget the idea that someone want to chop money,  Even if you don't build anything they would still chop money,  why don't they use it to build a new city,  THe USA move its capital several time before DC, 
A new city bring more development,  and more jobs,  it keep the economy running,  A nation most continue to have project , if not it would remain in the past,  Alway keep on moing,  never remain inone place.  increase and not decrease,  that what God want,  We alsready have Lagos , Abuja , let have the third one and even the fourth one, so that our children would know, we tried,   If i build one house , i would not remain in the same place,  i would build another and another and another,  I would continue for every,   more  and more cities. if we have to move the federal capital several time to get develop and becoming a developed country let us do it,  It is better for the enomy and better for Nigeria,
What honestly is $40 billion dollar doing in another man country bank account nothing,  and I am confident, Obasanjo would use the money well. no govt ever save any money in nigeriaexcept obasanjo, the others were chop and chop govt, 

He should start building the city now,  we have to become a develop nation,  and this is a step to become developed.

ABUJA is in the center of Nigeria which signify unity keep it that way please
