occam: wow that confident! Is this from a reliable source Constant electricity in Lagos? I will still wait and see. I also have nothing but love for Lagos, but this project just seems like something for the big boys to chop and little benefit to Lagosians.

In fact, I sense the Ghana-must-go bag crowd from Abuja will benefit more. How? More places to park their corrupt dirty money.

Yes sadly but true, it would be for the rich.

Trust me it is not only Lagos state government that are working on Power projects. We have young graduate looking for solutions as well so they can make quick money.

Right now we inverters (I am sure you know what that is since you stay in lagos) but just incase

Inverter with battery (as in the case of most lagos homes) charges it's self using the national grid and can power an average home for 4 hours on full battery (which is very ok) without no cost.

Infact you can connect it you your generator (if you wish) and can be charged with your generator.

These inverters have no engine and cost nothing after purchased

As of the last time, I remember the batteries are expensive though (not upto 600,000 naira so don't be scared)

Thus in the long run it provides you with electricity with no cost at the time you need it.

Many more solutions are been provided it all depends. I give it 3-4 years

Gbawe thanks for that

lwise: Let them solve the traffic problem in Lagos first,thats my concern for now.

Iwise that is already been deal with but typical lagosians think the only way to get to the Island is through 3rd mainland bridge but I know of a second route of which you can use.

You can also pass through Oyingbo market (mainland) to Idumota (Island) I hope it helps

Also a 4th mainland bridge is also being built by the state

occam: Solid transportation network and constant electricity are key to attracting tourists; sadly, Lagos lacks these. Development/real estate projects like this are fraught with a great deal of risk and little benefit to the city of Lagos. Even Dubai collected $10 billion handout from Abu Dhabi in 2009 to pay mounting debts resulting from its ambitious real estate development project.

It appears you know so much about this project, so tell us these:
What is the anticipated economic benefit to Lagos? be specific and quantify
Who are the world class investor that you mentioned? again be specific.

They have slums, so why are Nigerians flocking to SA? Why is Capetown becoming the new tourist attraction for Nigerians? Maybe when your "glass tower on the ocean" is completed people will start loving Lagos too.

Better stop dreaming and pay back the PR retainer fee you collected for this project

I agree with you

But I have to point out somethings

1. Electricity would be constant in Lagos within the next 3-4 years given the IPP being worked on by the government

2. Transportation, yes I think a train would be better but a good bus system is the first and only in Lagos and no where else in west africa. Go figure BRT buses are one of a kind

E be like say this Beaf is bitter the Mods had to delete his childish posts

Gbawe: This is why it is imperative to consider ownership there if one can raise the finance by planning ahead. The palms for example, in Dubai, has seen the likes of David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and many top footballers investing in residential units. Charlatans and losers will never understand that the world is not full of no-hopers like them. They don't understand what this project is and cannot concieve its scale or success. Best not to pander to ignorance.

Oga Gbawe, I am impressed with Fashola, Indeed ACN can actually be the best thing that happened to Nigeria if they can build the railway to connect all the SWern state edo and western delta together.

What do you say
