I know this is the truth but my question is..

Will a country like Nigeria able to manage the engineering properly ? We’ll see to this in the future..

shervydman:

About 1/4 of Amsterdam is reclaimed. 11 cities in China are reclaimed from sea, majority of Singapore is reclaimed from sea, Mumbai in India is majorly reclaimed from sea.... the palm island in Dubai is reclaimed also.

Land reclamation has been going on in d Netherlands since 1300 up till today, yet no record of casualties.

Lagos is about 3,000sq/m... being d smallest state in Nigeria with high population density and d need to cater for its demand is high as well. I'm sure people like u can't stay in eko Atlantic cos it's a reclaimed city but will like to live in "mukahari" in Japan not knowing its a reclaimed community as well.

Niggas fear what they don't understand n hates what they can't conquer, guess it's just the theory of man.

just imagine having this clown as a leader in Lagos ...lol he will move every body to mainland

I go through this route daily and any sane person will tell you that this is a disaster awaiting to happen, last year was hell for those living around this area as the flood were everywhere. In as much as I commend Ambode but I won't support the degrading of the Lagoon, its too dangerous

Come back around June/July when we will be in the rainy season, I will remind you then

You're comparing such countries to Nigeria where nothing works.

deomelllo:

]We heard the same endless argument and the same doom and gloom prophecies about Eko Atlantic and how it won't survive ordinary rainfall, but Eko Atlantic is still standing majestically without a puddle of water after rainfalls that that crippled many parts of Lagos.

b]Sometimes I thank God that many of our so-called leaders of tomorrow are not in charge of anything in Nigeria, it seems these old public officials have better ideas, can do spirit and the mental fortitude to move forward, do great things, to develop than our so-called backward thinking, negativity obsessed and incapacitated youths who can not take any risk or face challenges for their own good

]The developed countries faced many adversities before arriving at the term developed counties, they faced, they survived and learn from many challenges, but not our own youths, its the other way around with them, they want a clean and fairytale world where everything is laid out for them, smooth and easy.

Nothing in life comes easy, but you can not learn and develop without taking the first step and learning from your errors or by getting bogged down with negativity and can't do or don't do attitude that many of our youths shamefully display all over the place.

Nigerian youths are not ready for anything.

maasoap:

Thanks for this piece. They're always afraid of taking the first step and when they see someone did, they would automatically become experts of doom.
BTW: you don't need to bold all your post.

udi4eva:


Its easy for you to point out what other countries are doing well when you are only here in lagos.
You said Amstadam. Do you know the kind of scheduled maintenance they run on their dykes?
You said palm island/world islands in Dubia. Do you know that up to date, they still have to replenish their beaches with sand due to the massive removal rate of beach sand caused by blocking of the natural flow of water by these artificial islands.
The problem with nigeria is that we haven't walked, yet we wana run.
I am not against the project buy the person you are trying to prove a point to understands better than you.
Even if they have plans for dredging and creating water ways to prevent flood, what is the probability that someone like you, or your friends will not dump refuse to block it.
Take a look at your street and see the gutters, see the dirts littered everywhere, and ask your self. Can human beings living in these places and a government that cannot provide basic amenities run a maintenance schedule that will stand its ground against a force of nature in a never ending battle?
Has is occurred to you that lagos is the only "mega city" in the world that has only one means of transportation? The roads ate not even close to good enough.
Its a good project, but im sorry we not yet matured in mind for all these. We should be making good roads to link outside the state so that people can live outside lagos and work in lagos. This will help in depopulating the state.

AutoJoshNIG:
Have you traveled by the Oworonshoki end of the Third Mainland Bridge lately?

Ever wondered about what is going on at the Oworoshoki waterfront?

Indeed, anyone that has passed through that part of Lagos would have noticed an enormous “sand filling” – or land reclamation work – going on there.

Once-upon-a-time, not-too-long-ago, that spot used to be a beehive of illegal dredging activities in Lagos.

So, after sand-filling the waterfront, whats next?

Well, here is whats next.

The Lagos State Government is working to transform the Oworonshoki Waterfront into one of the biggest transportation, tourism and entertainment hubs in Nigeria.

Yes. An elegant Mega Ferry and Bus terminus is about to be built at that once blighted location.

And that’s not all.

The Mega Jetty and Bus terminal will have other entertainment and Tourism facilities like multiple Boutique, hotels, museums/art galleries, sport and recreational facilities as well as a 1000 capacity car park, based on the design master plan of the area.

Upon completion, Lagosians would be able to embark on travel from Oworonshoki either via water, using the Jetty Terminal or via Ultra-Modern Buses departing from the New Bus Terminal.

This project is part of a grand design by the Lagos state government to reduce human and vehicular traffic gridlocks on the roads connecting the Island, Apapa and other parts of the Mainland.

Clearly, Ambode is not joking!

deomelllo:



You are a little bit behind.

The Mile 2 jetty was concessioned with the same cinema hall, entertainment, shopping mall, and many other life supporting facilities theme like what they are doing in Oworonshoki.

the concession agreement is build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) bases.

http://businessandmaritimewestafrica.com/maritime-development/lasg-concessions-mile-2-jetty-to-private-operator





Mile 2 and the surrounding areas are actually benefiting more than a lot of communities in Lagos state, they have the Lagos Metro and a 10 lane freeway with BRT and a world-class jetty to follow.


Stay up to date.

maasoap:

My question is when will you guys "mature in mind for all these"? The successive Lagos administrations is telling you that they are ready, yet you are saying that you are not mature yet.

Many cities have recent flood across the world, including Lagos due to climate change, even d US was affected.

Now back to sinking cities, Amsterdam is not among d top10 in d world and land reclamation is not d sole factor for submerging. Tokyo in Japan was once the fastest sinking city in the world, faster than Jakarta( d capital of Indonesia n current no1 ) due to pumping of groundwater and they curtailed it by injecting water back into d ground. Every problems has solution n finding d right solution to every problems is the art of genius.

Keep calm.

The fact that nothing works in Nigeria means we should all sit on our hands and do nothing, we shouldn't make any attempts, we shouldn't come up with any ideas or start or build anything?



The way many of you think, your country shouldn't depend on you for a better future and a developed country because you have nothing to offer beyond negative mentality

frugal:

Tell that to your leaders.

If you are going to spew negativity about what they are starting and not completing in Lagos, you should first show us the ones they started and later abandoned. Support your negativity with facts.


1. The people we elect and put in office are coming up with ideas, solutions, economic plans, and transportation solutions, they are basically doing what we are paying them to do while people like you needlessly wail, shout and want us to believe that their actions are all doom and gloom actions when in fact it's the other way around


2. Money or expansion of IGR/Base generates funding and financial capacities needed to build everything on your list. What they are doing in Oworonshoki means billions more in the state's account to fund social and communal services like schools, hospitals and so on, not the other way around.

You can not build or equip any hospital or school without money.

This is public administration 101.

3. Have they stopped building schools, hospitals and so on just because they are building jetties?? The answer is no. So, you have zero arguments here, you are just basically grasping at straw with that weak argument.


4. Credible and competent people can walk and chew gum at the same time, meaning they can build jetties, generate funds and build hospitals at the same time. They don't have to sit on their hands and do nothing until they've finished building hospitals, schools, roads, and bridges. Show us where that's done?


Sometimes I just wonder about you people. I won't wan't some of you to be in charge of anything in Nigeria.

Godyke:


Staying update does not end on just what is written for me and you for reading sake and possible applause. Action speak louder. There are so many projects going on at the same time that may not or never be completed by this present administration. All this we know is just to consolidate their grip on the state as the ruling party for fear of possible take over by their rival party. The Badagry express project is moving on a snail speed. The Oshodi transport interchange, the airport road project, the abeokuta Rd the Oshodi BRT track project, the expansion and illumination of the Lekki epe expressway from Abraham Adesanya roundabout to Epe and so on. Why not focus on one and let's see how it goes.

I go through this route daily and any sane person will tell you that this is a disaster awaiting to happen, last year was hell for those living around this area as the flood were everywhere. In as much as I commend Ambode but I won't support the degrading of the Lagoon, its too dangerous

Come back around June/July when we will be in the rainy season, I will remind you then


Cheers

udi4eva:


When I say "WE" I mean everyone including those in power. We don't even have an efficient waste management system anywhere in the country.
To answer your question about when we will mature in mind.
It is when; our school have the good facilities, our roads are maintained, our hospitals have the basic facilities, we have efficient alternative means of transportation, our civil servants and pensioners are paid,our manufacturing sectors are boosted, our refineries are working....look bros. Its an endless list. Land reclamation is least of our problems

udi4eva:


The fact that you typed this epistle without even understanding my points makes trying to explain to you any further a lost cause.
Go in peace

This is the beginning of the flooding, just sit back and relax
