luvable sam: maitama has been sold out since the 90's but its still a ghost town. How many people can afford d accomodation?if my argument isn't logical then its a pity! Look, I have no argument with you. You say you are a concerned Nigerian and I agree because that makes you my fellow citizen. My point is that your arguments make no sense because you don't seem to account for the fact that Lagos is a true mega-city in every sense of the word. Nothing in Africa is near to challenging it's unique potentials if the State is optimally developed. Eko Altantic City is even only one thing to keep an eye on. The development of the Lekki corridor will be huge for Nigerian and, directly, West Africa once the planned International airport is delivered. The opening up of the Badagry axis will also have huge implication for Lagos, Nigeria and Africa as well. If you see how overdeveloped some Countries of the world are, i.e Japan, to the extent reclamation of designated 'green' land is now inevitable, then you will appreciate the potentials for development Nigeria has because it's teeming population has so many virgin land to develop and spread into. 2 Likes |

Gbawe:interesting,no one is saying Lag isn't a true Mega City or watever, if u think my arguments are senseless then I think urs are no better cos u are failing to see my point which is that most of those properties(if ever completed)wud neVa be really occupied simply because its d same people that wud av bought them |

I believe this city is created for huge percent of foreigners. The price seems very expensive and I don't think the average Nigerian would be able to afford this. The same reason banana island is yet to be completely developed and the houses in VI are currently empty. However, this development is welcome. I cannot wait to take a tour. I pray I can afford to live there too. |

lakhadimar: Roads and bridge construction, educational development-(opon imo/ajumo mo both in osun & oyo state respectively), health care delivery and now the eko atlantic project. This are the sort of progressive news emanating from the south west recently, are the states in the south west the only ones in Nigeria? What are others doing?asari dokubo spoken, amaechi revolted, alamesiya pardoned, achebe buried, bayelsa installed cameras to arrest rumour mongers, bridge collapses and so on. It doesn't seems like they are idle though! 2 Likes |

Laudable project but the question is...should this project be high on priority list? What economic advantage is Lagos getting from this project? yea....i know the argument(foreign investment, revenue..blah blah we know this project is not for the masses....then who is it for? Do we need to spend so much money on a massive project at this time when other useful infrastructure lay dormant and wasting away? Who is controlling this project? Did Fashola and Tinubu mortgage the future of Lagos for political gain? How many years concession for the backers of this project? Too much hype about this Fashola guy and most people has swallow it hook, line and sinker, i was in Lagos and i didn't see much improvement to march the hype. Personally i think this project is a waste,hype, unnecessary at the moment and nobody know how much is costing each tax payer in Lagos. |

awhagwan: Story. My guy no be today oo, they are all full of deceit, BADAGRY EXPRESS WAY is in the worst state to what it was 5yrs ago, the residence of that area to me are compared to people in Cyria Fighting war, no good roads to move around. 2-3hrs from Badagry to CMS is absolutely RIDICULOUS, what energy is left for ordinary man to work with through the day when people commute like this everyday. From London to Birmingham takes me 2hrs at 70-80 MPH on a good road, our governance left practical things but engage in ununrealistic future...Typical DARKY style. I beg Badagry residence are human being, they deserve everything thing the likes of those living in Ikoyi, VI and Lekki, full of Fake people. Eko o ni baje oo, but I seriously think Tinunbu is on the brink, he needs to go, that states doesn't belong to him. 2 Likes |

[quote author=ShyM-X]Interesting stuff. ^^^^^Damn! Ghana is moving at a very fast pace. They're building three new cities. That's impressive. I think Nigeria needs to take a cue from that. Ghana is 50yrs behind Nigeria in infrastructure. |

Do we need to spend so much money on a massive project at this time when other useful infrastructure lay dormant and wasting away? That the Eko Atlantic project is getting lots of media coverage does not mean it is the only thing the state government is up to. Have you bothered to find out what else the governemtn has been doing in the interests of the people? Sometimes, people come down here on nairaland and say the Lagos state government does nothing.....which Lagos state do you live in? I have lived in Lagos all my life and this state has never been this good (remember, in my lifetime so far). Now you might complain about your area but fact is; government resources are limited...and government has to prioritize areas that would generate enough income for it to carry out projects in other parts of the state. What's the point of developing an area of the state when it would earn the government anything to take care of other areas? 1 Like |

luvable sam: your comment is tribalist,just d kind we don't anymore in Nigeria. By d way,who even told u d 'Opons'were made in Nigeria? They were just designed to specifications by d 'damn' chinese(correct me if am wrong).isn't that how we loose foriegn exchange n drop in d value of our currency?.don't decieve urself,these aren't developmental in any way, we are just living up to our status of been a consumer nation or better still 'a corrupt consumer nation' whats so tribalist there in what he said....he is just trying to picture the way our system is in this nation..where only Lagos is focus more on development and other states just rotten out |

naptu2: @ "costing taxpayers".. This is the disgraceful level of ignorance some are working with. They don't mind going public with such hideous ignorance either because the innate bad belle that predisposes them to be negative about everything 24/7 means they are unlikely to ever consider it sensible to even do 60 seconds worth of research.

tolu_ernanes: 1. Kindly state 5 things the government is up to? We dont need a government that is up to something, we need government that is doing something. 2. It is important to read thread and understand before replying, I never said Lagos govt. is not doing anything...i was raising important question based on the project. 3."Government resources are limited" I love that bit. "and government has to prioritize areas that would generate enough income for it to carry out projects in other parts of the state. What's the point of developing an area of the state when it would earn the government anything to take care of other areas?" This is where you lost the point, this project would NOT generate any income for long time(yea i knw...they told us it is a private initiative). Lastly government don't develop area of the state to earn money, most project should be for the benefit of the people...government earn money through taxes. |

There's another crazy and funny issue here. A few months ago the contractor on the Blue Line project had a little ceremony when it started laying the track. Some people said "why are they celebrating when they've not finished the project", "it's all propaganda", "why so much noise". Now, they are laying the tracks and quietly going about their work and it's turned to "why aren't they saying anything about it", "it's a trick, the project has been abandoned", etc. So, do you want them to give a progress report or not? 3 Likes |

Nnanna224: Na today? Why not finish the projecys at hand viz 10 lane roads et al b4 engaging in white elephant aristocratic projects This is a coming together of the private and public sector with the former supplying the finance. The private sector, being profit-driven, rarely involves itself in "white Elephant aristocratic projects". It must also be pointed out that an equitable person would have no problem with a development being financed by private funds let alone call it "aristocratic". I am guessing you do not even know Eko Atlantic is privately funded and rushed to conclude this is another case of "they are using our wealth to build another elite paradise". |

If this project is not costing taxpayers nothing other the land and logistics e.t.c then it fine but as a Nigerian, i don't apologize for been skeptical(after years of white elephant projects). |
