Existing cities can be rebuilt and even expanded according to an urban plan,but things would have to be demolished . The demolition does not have to happen all at once, it could be within a 10 year year period. Create plan and work step by step. Demolish all structures on a specified path and build according to designations. .

Now examine this city plan. regardless of what structures stand on the way ,everything on the path of a specified road must be demolished to build the road according to the plan. For example , the yellow line is a major Avenue with mono rail or streetcar . It's about 500 meters from the shoreline. Every single thing on that path must be demolished .

it's very costly, better to build on new ground and people move gradually than having a city being demolished. you spend a lot of money paying and relocating people. and as a government, you will face court cases and damage reputation.

As usual, they gather to complain

The easiest thing to do is to complain.

This na true o, but sha to demolish too would require a lot of funds, maybe even more funds than was sunk to put up existing structures already in place. Solution na make every government complete any project they start before they leave office. To come dey clear existing uncompleted city strucures that was built with citizen's money, when they never were put into use in the first place would be like paying money to dig a hole and then changing your mind and paying again for the unused hole to be filled.

Nice one..

Even the International convention centre the guy snapped n posted was b4 it was looted during #EndSars riots

iamJ:
5% completion
Una done dey make noise

some did not complete 10% project for 6years!

Nigeria celebrating mediocrity and basic amenities in the 21st century again, oh wow a choo choo train

Has it been implemented yet or these are just the designs?

Some of those pictures are giving me anxiety

this one na death trap oh

What is masterpiece here now Kwa......just cement everywhere.

The Calabar International Convention Center is one of architectural masterpieces in not only Nigeria but Africa and the world . I'm very proud that the structure is located in Calabar . Though now the structure stands lonely , yet that's just a tip of the iceberg of the futuristic structures and highrises coming to the Kingdom of Calabar within the next 15 years .

The third photo is a drone footage of the Monorail moving at high speed towards the Convention Center.

The fourth image is a view of sunset from the Marina Resort

This is what Lagos should be doing to ease transport but corruption will not allow with all the IGR. They will keep buying rubbish BRT buses and be singing 'Lagos is working'

Op you can lie for Africa. This pictures are photoshopped pictures. This monorails are not yet functional or existing in Calabar

Must you remain in Nigeria. Why is it that the only language some people have is maintenance culture. It's pretty bad.

Lagos need this than any other city

Dr. Thomas I'm very sure that you had never visited Calabar.

This project is one of Donald Duke's major visionary projects that has left to die a natural death. Projects like Tinapa was envisaged to become the new sun city in South Africa. But behold the site is now a mocrey of itself.
Apart from Donald Duke, which other Cross River State governor initiated a major project and completed it, non! Ayade promised "spaghetti flyover" and "super highway with six lanes". Go to Odukpani junction, the site for the spaghetti flyover and see for yourself. Calabar is a land of glory gone at least for now with cultism threatening peace and investment. Calabar people and indeed Cross Riverians should hold their leaders to ransom.

I have been in Calabar since 2004, I reside in federal housing, I do morning jugging 4 times in a week to the international Conference Center, I know and have entered the conference hall countless times BUT this rail tracks and train in the picture I have NEVER seen. Abeg na the same Calabar we are talking about?

Cross River started a free fall into decline after their oil wells were taken from them and given to Akwa Ibom in a calculated move by federal authorities to prevent them from falling into Cameroonian sovereignty. I don't think there are enough economic activities within to generate the needed IGR to provide them with what their government would want now. Donald Duke was lucky but also ingenious.

I laugh when I see my fellow Nigerians playing politics with the mind of others. we've gone past the days where we are fooled with 100years project and vision 2070, visions and projects that might be abandoned later. lagos state started her own during the era of fashola, where are they today, federal government is still working on her own, up till date not yet completed. let's stop celebrating yet to work or futuristic project that might not take place or end up as abandoned project. a governor will approve a project just cuz he wants extort the citizens taxes through it, another will come and say this is not what he has come to work on or this is not the plan he has for the state. no continuity of plans or projects and we keep celebrating wasted funds. enough is enough. I am not writing this cuz I'm hating any political party or biased, I'm doing this cuz it saddens my mind when we celebrate the failure of our leaders. peace be unto everyone

The same people that criticised Amaechi for PH go praise Ayande for Calabar!

I swear this was what I was about to say!!!!


I took the train/tram just for fun from Rashidiya to Dubai Mall I was wowed!!!

That's because Nigerian cities are unplanned. The current Calabar mono rail was built to run between Tinapa Resort and the Convention center.
To have a viable public transit system,you have a good city plan and zoning laws . The transit system must be built to move people between very busy routes that thousands of people move to and from everyday.
For example ,a major avenue which runs for miles and has major attractions like museum,stadium,university ,Malls ,embassy, Cinema ,Hotels, Casinos ,restaurants ,banks , company headquarters , etc Thousands of people can not do without moving to and from that route everyday.

It's impossible to have efficient transit system with Nigeria's unplanned cities where everything is just scattered everywhere.

Cities are naturally scattered. It is up to the govt to be fair in the judgement of route for such expensive ventures. Most people in govt only understand how to take major projects to their village or through their own village.

who POST these pictures with OYINBOS?

wetin CALABAR even get?

If Na for Lagos dem build this monorail, agbero leeches go still find ways to dey collect Roja: even if it means staying on the bridge. Fear lagos

When u want lie just know say adults here

trains aren't overacted in Nigeria because Lagos need it badly.

That stuff is death. The last moved of that thing should be in 2018. Till date if you think am kidding call any calabar base dude who knows what’s happening around him and ask when last the monorail was use. Even though we’ve had whole lots of convention and activities in that master piece edifice and dignitaries stays in the Tinapa’hotel which the monorail was meant to take them TO&FRO from the convention centre. Until Nigeria as a whole are ready to learn the ethics of maintenance please they should stop wasting the tax money on this kinda projects. My own cent.
