Though this is great and very very commendable, but we lost a lot of ground since the first skyscraper in Ibadan decades ago.

We did it before and doing it again is no big deal. The folks at IAA Associates Ltd led by Adeleke Akintilo are very bright and talented and I see them going places and redefining the Lagos Landscape and sky scape..

Very correct

And the Design Group, led by Ayotunde Sanni has been around even before independence

The SW was slowed down by successive military regimes

We could have been even ahead of SA today, going by the our GDP then and the pace of our development then

Thankfully we are steadily and surely getting back on track now

Bros, far too many uber-talents to list in architecture and property development. These are dedicated professionals who do not need to advertise themselves so you may not hear of them unless perhaps connected with property development.

They have both. I.e resume and financial success. These are outstanding professionals on top of their game and reaping the financial and professional rewards of their talent.

i still prefer a dangote than any of these men
First of all, it is no competition. These guys can should be appreciated purely in their own rights. Secondly, these are guys who have become moguls and shining examples in their field of endeavour. Dangote is not better than them because he is a richer and with diverse business interests. He is a top businessman same as these guys are top architects and property developers.
