coleon: No disrespect but your mentality is flawed, so because you want to mingle with the billionaires, you'll live above your means? Na ur type dey die of fake life. Experts say you shouldn't spend more than 30% on House rent. E.g if u earn 20m annually, you shouldn't pay more than 6m as rent. So for you to be renting a house @ Banana island means u worth X3 annually. You mustnt live @ banana island to mingle with the rich! The bible says: Show me a man DILIGENT in his ways and he shall stand before kings and not mere men! Your craft will take u heights, not your location. 4 Likes 1 Share |

shizzy7: Chai.. This statement obviously underline the difference between the mentalities of the rich and the poor. Ehhh yaa My darling, if you are super rich to have a real estate in Banana Island, road traffic shouldn't be your concern. Your concerns will be how many helipads to be build and how many yachts and flying boats to procure.. |

The reasoning of the poor and the rich are always different, that is why the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. |

Read this original Banana Island construction project entitled “Lagoon City” was the brainchild of the Late Chief Adebayo Adeleke, a University of London trained Civil Engineer (MICE), and CEO of City Property Development Ltd. Chief Adebayo Adeleke had originally commissioned a new urban development in Maroko, Victoria Island, but that project had been ‘acquired’ by the Lagos State government with no financial consideration paid. Following a lengthy 10 year court case, Lagos State government offered other parcels of land as consideration for the Maroko development. Many scoffed at Chief Adeleke’s decision to select the Ikoyi Island perimeter, however they were unable to appreciate the foresight of the Chief, who promptly engaged the Westminster Dredging Company to dredge the foreshore, and create six interlinked and symmetrical islands. He wanted to create a development that would “Make Nigeria Proud”, and engaged Minoru Yamasaki the architect of Manhattan’s Twin Towers, to design replica twin towers as the flagship iconic buildings on the main island. To complete the Lagoon City concept, Chief Adeleke planned an aesthetic design including a City Airport, which was a vision conceived long before the London Docklands Development, London City Airport, Dubai’s Palm Islands or Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok Airport. Unfortunately for the Chief, as soon as he had reclaimed the land and the brilliance of the idea was unveiled, others were determined to wrestle the land from him, and the project was ‘acquired’ again with no consideration being paid to City Property Development Limited. The ‘acquisition’ is currently being challenged in various courts, and there are Caveat Emptor warnings in place to warn prospective buyers that their investment could be at risk in future. There is also litigation pending in the UK and European courts regarding this matter. U see what lagos state did to the original creator of d idea cos he is a nigerian Can this same govt do same to chagory group. Chagory group has banana island and is funding hugely eko atlantic, just because he is lebanase-nigerian. I cry for the black race |

spiralwedge:I will go to another state and build my own banana island, maitama and all. That place is toooo overrated and ridiculously expensive for what you get. You might call it a "Poor man's mentality" but I'll rather build a mansion with half the price of a small house in Banana Island, then build an orphanage home with the other half. Helipad within Lagos, 3000km2(Nigeria's smallest state) with 18m people you have to be kidding me. A state that is too choked. If you have more than 10 destinations to go to within Lagos, you think you'll see space for helipad in all those places?? Come again... Banana island is a cool place but outside that island, what do you get?? 1 Like |

What we need in Nigeria are affordable government or private sectors funded houses for low and middle income earners to buy and own. The rich can afford to own as many houses/properties as they wish but the same can't be said for average Nigerians. We live in a country with almost non existent government funded houses. Our government plays little or no roles in the property market. It is this lack by our government, both past and present in the property sector that has emboldened some wicked landlords/ladies to keep increasing their rents for houses some of them built in the 70's. In countries like China, South Korea, Malaysia etc, the government is investing heavily in the property market. As a matter of fact, China is reaping huge revenue from its property market; and that's why construction sites and cranes are ubiquitous in China. A Chinese person on a 5000 Yuan (N155,879) monthly salary can approach a bank for a housing loan with payment options ranging from five - fifteen years. Let me quickly add 5000 Yuan can't buy a new Samsung Note5! We have land in abundance. We have the money to fund affordable housing projects all over Nigeria. We have the manpower to execute such projects. The only thing we lack is foresight. May God help us. 1 Like |
