Cost Of Building the Burj Khalifa is $1.5 Billion , During the peak of construction, at least 12,000 workers worked on the construction site per day or a 6 year period . Anticipated home to 135,000 people. It attracted an 37 million visitors in the first year of its opening. It Provided an approximate 10,000 jobs. The Dubai Mall located within has 3 million visitors per month. Burj Khalifa is the pinnacle (in more senses than one) of an area is that it accounts for well over 10% of Dubai GDP. And all you talk about is that someone is in handcuffs, The guy should be in shackles for all I care.

Poorly written and hate-induced piece of balderdash bereft of cogent elaborations.

Next time you want to write article of this nature, do endeavor to free your mind of belligerent hatred so as to be taken any serious.

Did Metuh divert any money from government??
Even if he allegedly did, has he been convicted yet??

Why are we always putting the cart before the horse

Re: Burj Khalifa Was Built With $1.5bn, $2.1b Misappropriated & You Worry For Cuffs by Queennikky(f): 4:45pm On Jan 21, 2016
And this is exactly what the prodced......


1. At 828 meters (2,716.5 feet) tall, Burj
Khalifa is 3 times as tall as Eiffel Tower and
twice as tall as the Empire State Building.


2. Burj Khalifa holds the world Records on:
tallest freestanding structure in the world,
highest number of stories in the world, highest occupied floor in the world, highest outdoor observation deck in the world, elevator with longest travel distance in the world, and tallest service elevator in the world.


3. It is said that the weight of concrete used
to build the skyscraper is equivalent to
100,000 elephants and the steel used to
construct the frame is equal to that of 5
Airbus 380 aircrafts.


4. The building design takes after the Greek
flower, Hymenocallis. The name is translated as Beautiful Membrane in Greek.


5. The building was constructed by a South
Korean Company called South Korean
company, Samsung Engineering and
Construction.


6. Burj Khalifa was built at a cost of $1.5
billion, It is supplied with about 250,000
gallons of water daily, and its electricity needs can go up to 360,000 100-watt bulbs burning at once.


7. During the peak of construction, atleast
12,000 workers worked on the construction
site per day.


8. The tip of the sphere of Burj Khalifa can be seen from 95 kilometers away.


9. The tower was to be called Burj Dubai but this was changed at the last minute to honor Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed al Nahyan, the ruler of Abu Dhabi for bailing out Dubai's bankrupt sovereign wealth fund with a $10 billion in 2009.


10. Burj Khalifa has 54 elevators which have a speed of up to 40 miles per hour.
Burj Khalifa is Dubai's pride. It signifies how
far the desert country has come in short 50-years. If you are ever in Dubai, your first point of interest should be the towering tower.
Dubai...you just need a good pair of
binoculars.

Sorry you are just an asshole. I wonder why I am sharing the same country with people like you. The idiot Metu my brother told u that he collect a certain sum of money. Dasuki said he shared some money, Dokpesi said he collected, Olu False said he collected, Anenih said he collected, Bafarawa also said he collected, Jafaru said he collected and some idiots want us to believe that such money does not exist. Nonsense. More will go under hand kuff. I pray they will be jailed long term even their Jonathan.

i am not supporting corruption but that amount is grossly exaggerated. In 2014 the amount allocated for defense was 968.127 billion while that of 2015 was three hundred and fifty something billion. If 600 billion was stolen how much will be left. Remember, the soldiers are still using the arms bought during GEJ time...buhari has not yet bought any arm o
