How much sense does it make to build some new fangled heaven on a foundation of low quality of life, squalor and corruption, lack of instutuitions and general public decorum? It is common sense to take care off those first.

Why would management of the seawall be different from the current defences?
What developmental problems will Eko Atlantic solve? Its sounding more and more like a neat way to pocket dosh for a white elephant.

you are nothing but a disgruntled internet olodo, put your lazy ass brain to work sometimes. why worry about our ocean defenses in Lagos? that shity miserable hole in the delta dey fly over your rader ni?  abi why is your perceived lagos wahala dey make you lose sleep? shouldn't you be losing sleep over your suffering kinsmen and looting and stealing clowns you call brothers in the delta,






Btw, let me give you some more stuff to lose sleep over,


Lagos Allays Communities’ Fears over Lekki Airport
By Gboyega Akinsanmi, 08.28.2009

Lagos State Government yesterday assured all the communities to be affected by the proposed ultra-modern international airport in Ibeju-Lekki-Epe area of the state  of adequate compensation . It also confirmed its plan to  complete the project  before 2015.

We sure ain't playing,

eko o ni ba je lo ju awon olote,

Rome wasn't built in one day but they didn't start building rome with expensive shits right? Americans didn't start building luxurious and expensive shits for her citizens during her early days.

You must have pulled that out of your ass by mistake, lmao


Anyways, your argument is null and void, all that rubbish has nothing to do with the topic at hand, the experts did their job and den don green light the project.

Feel free to stay away from EAC when den finish if you no like the project, no be by force, after all, not a penny of your tax money is involved and that's if you dey pay any to start with.

How do you think Americans got where they are right now?

Almost 300 yrs of trial and error. Craw and learn before you walk. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Guy Eko atlantic won't work without constant electricity and I mean 24/7.

I don't know why you think the developers are clueless idiots. Obviously, they must have made arrangements for all that.
Eko Atlantic City - Lagos

July 13, 2009

image of eko-atlantic-city-lagos-nigeria Located along the Atlantic coast of Lagos, Nigeria is a dynamic new city currently under construction. Adjacent to Victoria Island in West Africa's fastest growing region is Eko Atlantic. This project will transform 9 square kilometers of eroding coastal land into a thriving twenty-first century city.

Eko Atlantic combines an impressive blend of aesthetic beauty and seamless practicality. The city will be spread across seven districts, combining residential, commercial, financial and tourist development. They will all share the same high standards of urban planning, infrastructure and architectural excellence. The new city will feature tree-lined boulevards, waterways, manicured gardens, elegant plazas, three marinas and a stunning ocean front promenade. Eko Atlantic will be a city in which to live, work and play.

The Financial District, with towering skyscrapers, will attract multinational companies, especially in the oil and gas industries. It will become home to many of Africa’s banks, financial institutions and business leaders and will help to establish Lagos as the financial capital of Africa.

Eko Atlantic will raise the standards of infrastructure in Lagos to sophisticated levels through a finely-structured urban plan that creates a balanced, environmentally friendly and efficient blueprint for a comfortable, healthy, safe and efficient style of life. Each of the seven districts of Eko Atlantic will display their own unique characteristics, but the infrastructural design will be standard throughout the city.


The city will have its own independent service island with an electricity generating plant and water management for drinking and irrigation, as well as sewage control. Eko Atlantic will be self-sufficient in power and vital telecommunications.

Transportation includes an eight-lane coastal highway, a tramway system, a ferry system, 20 km of internal waterway, and a 100 km internal network of roads connect all districts. Eko Atlantic also includes a pedestrian and transport strategy that is designed to reduce road use, minimize traffic congestion and create off-street parking for all vehicles.

In essence, Eko Atlantic is a huge reclamation project, replacing land that was lost during a hundred years of severe coastal erosion. Consultants and contractors from all over the world are working together in an attempt to roll back surging waves from the Atlantic Ocean. Valuable land that was lost to generations of Nigerians has already begun to reappear and is expanding every day. A 7 km long sea wall will be constructed to protect the city from damaging storms. Eko Atlantic is turning a liability of coastal erosion into a national asset.

Eko Atlantic will become home to at least 400,000 residents, with commuter volume expected to exceed 250,000 people daily. Eko Atlantic will help Lagos transform itself into a successful mega city-state of 25 million people by the year 2015.


The project is being developed by South Energyx Nigeria Ltd, a subsidiary of The Chagoury Group.

Hmm nope!!!! Considering the people that'll be living there? It won't generate money for a country of 150million. It's a private project remember and that means 90% if not all the money goes into private investors hand. And if the project belongs to some foreign country's company, 99% of their profit will go out of Nigeria. I can't see how this will generate money for Nigeria.

Rubbish,


EAC is a potential big time TAX gold mine, you have any Idea how much the state government go dey rake in a month from pay role tax to property tax, tax on goods and services all the way to support, maintenance and other down stream activities, ?


And why do you thing governments all over the world beg and seek foreign investments and investors? because they're scared and afraid the investors are gonna ship all the money back to their countries. I guess it stopped France and Disney from allowing Disney to set up shop, it prevented walmart from setting up shops all over the world .? lmao.

What about tech know how and other managerial skills Nigerians are gonna be exposed to?

dude, which kain econs school you graduate from? regressive thinking school of economics?

They are dredging close to the barriers they built and that's means the barriers won't have a good foundation to stand the relentless wave on the beach

They do environmental impact assessment for a reason and the best people in the field all over the world don conduct hydro engineering studies and all kinds of tests already and I go take their word before I take laymen and NL internet blah blah mouth's whining and backward thinking  jargons, they are the experts, not you.

Yeye people, den go hail every damn thing other countries do but will criticize to death every and anything their own country try to do. no wonder naija is freeking bleeped up. even our so called leaders of tomorrow no get vision and guts.

I hope non of you guys touch any leadership position in naija because we go find our ass back in the stone age,


lol @ elite society, tell me where elite society no they.

you might as well tell me lagos abi Nigeria no deserve first class, modern and high tech city, first class tourist/entertainment center and destination, tell me Lagos and Nigeria shouldn't create hundreds of thousand of construction jobs and several hundred thousand wey go dey stream in and out of the place with monthly paychecks.

We are really our own worst enemies,

all these useless and juvenile threads sef. no wonder den say NL dey boring,

It is definitely safe to conclude that you are not really here to make any solid claims but simply ramble without providing PROOF or factual details to support any of the claims you have made so far on the potential of this project.

This happens to be our biggest problem. We jump to praise courses without threading cautiously to help make sure things are done right. Reminds me of the days of Tinapa and all the same claims made by folks in support in much similar way.

It is still safe to conclude that you're talking out of the side of your neck. The only reason you've been and still ruining  mouth is because you have some kind of problem with the project cos' you for don shut up if it was the other way around.

Stop hiding and perambulating and stand up for what you believe in, you can't have it both ways.

Traveling all the way to the best hydro engineering com' in Europe for high tech assessments and simulations obviously = threading consciously or doing things right? I believe it's called covering your ass and bases, Abi you have different meaning and interpretation?

lol. It took you forever to pull Tinapa out of the sky like a magician.

See, unlike Tinapa, EAC is 100% privately funded and again since the desire to criticize  dey cloud your judgment, not a dime of lagos state gov's money is involved as explained twice in this thread and not too many private entities dey blow their money on white elephants. Again and unlike Tinapa, there is need and market for EAC.


Now, what's your point again? Abeg stop jare.

I am not you and so do not follow rules you set for self. I express concerns whenever I want to, in this case, I express my concern because I can.

I guess it's safe to conclude that you just dey run mouth just for the heck of it, as expexted.

Where have I actually stated that they are DOING SOMETHING WRONG? Can you please re-post that particular line for me to read cause I am wondering at this point if you have not concluded that this is another US vs THEM debate without properly reading each line of my posts to understand what the point to this has been.

When you ask what bases have they not covered, would that not be assuming I have seen the actual project design and documentation to make such a claim? Why would I state that we do not have those and so can only hope that all points were covered in this, and if not, they need not rush to it but spend more time on the drawing board to be sure.

So what's your point? Obviouisly, we express concerns when things are going wrong/in the wrong direction.

You specifically asked for a module and I offered you one, now all of a sudden it's "I haven't seen the actual design and documentation to make a claim".

Instead of jumping all over the map, why not just go ask the developers for designs and risk assessment reports, just like what's in the module video you asked for and refused to acknowlege as if it has nothing to do with the same drawining board you keep hopping on.

You fail to note that there is no ULTIMATE answer to my question at this point. I am sorry, this is not a debate on whether It will Work or will not work. This is just me stating my concerns for which you are not informed enough to actually answer. I am not sure if you get that at all. Unless you are part of the planning committee for this project, there is really no way you can speak for it being as good as you claim above. The videos you have posted have been available on Utube for over a year, if not months now. They do not prove anything about the project but simply gives an idea of what is to be expected. Not until the final phase is in place and the project is tested in the real world can anyone know for a fact if it is going to with stand the elements and disasters that are projected.

You can call what I am doing "Nitpicking" and that is understandable since we do not share the same brain. However, there is cause for concern given that in the same state 99.9% of projects embarked on in the past have yet to yield much positive results. Some have eventually come back to bite us in the behind. So, do not worry about providing me answers, something not even Fashola can, as all he can do is show data to support a theory that this will work in the future.

Abeg stop jumping all over the place, you asked for module and I posted it, now it doesn't prove anything.what do you want it to prove really?

what do you want and what's your point? what are they doing wrong? what bases have they not covered?


Yes, you are nit picking,

when you are planning for FUTURE disaster which you have NEVER REALLY EXPERIENCED and have NO CLUE OF HOW HORRIFIC it can GET, it is a good idea to spend more time on the DRAWING BOARD

Are you for real? you think people are just gonna trow money at a project like eko atlantic without doing their home work?

You keep coming up with the same answered question, you must have ignored the youtube video I posted even after asking you to checking,

well, here is another one,

Eko Atlantic City - The Engineering


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0B3dmYlDGDk


And the ultimate answer to your question is in the video @ 5:12

according to the engineer in the video @ 5:12, the test not only survived the tidal waves that occurs once every hundred years, it survived the one that occurs every thousand years,


Lets stop the nitpicking, this is not your average naija crapy crapy project, the developers are going the extra mile and leaving no stone unturned,

That is far from what this is about. Has the Eko Atlantic module been tried and tested to prove it will with stain both the rising sea levels, as well the pre-existing problems?

Check out the youtube video I posted @ 2:15 and not a dime of the state's money is involved, it's 100% privately funded.

Again, this is a win win situation for lagos state. The project is gonna create good construction related jobs, it's gonna create solid high, middle and lower class jobs upon completion, lagos is gonna get first class state of the art high tech city and entertainment/tourist destination.

You can not develop and progress with a can't do attitude and lagos is not the only natural disaster prone city in the world, you find and create solutions around your problems and move on.

But why are they wasting all that money filling up the all comsuming sea,when there are loads of slums and places to update in lagos?Irrational thinking.

I'm sure the same loads of slum dwellers are gonna benefit from the project and even lifted of poverty via hundreds of thousands of jobs and other down stream opportunities and activities. This is a win win situation for Lagos state.

The state can not be bugged down taking care of 10,000/day streaming into Lagos.

Eko Atlantic CANNOT solve the barbeach overflows. Lagos is NOT DUBAI -- wave wise, at least. Eko Atlantic is banking on the problem simply being a problem of eroding waters but does it take into account the projected rise in SEA LEVELS expected in the next couple of years, if not months, as a result of global warming? The project is potentially dangerous. Even holland has yet to significantly curb it's own problems, I mean with all the technology employed.

I see where you're coming from but I don't think the investors no sabi the your concerns and they must have correct risk assessment info before laying down billions of dollars.

We can't sit on our hands and do nothing/develop and advance because of risks and problem problems. California is earth quake central and earth quake didn't prevent them from developing California and making it the 7th largest economy in the world.

All these alarmists sha,


it's the other way around, eko atlantic is the permanent solution to Bar Beach overflows. they are killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

udezue-

you no get shame ni?

where is the pride in claiming other people's stuff while ya own dey fall back inside stone age?

feel free to sweet bele with your 70% fallacy. all linguistic,  physical, geographical, cultural and social indicators begs to differ. even at the end of the day, you no fit carry anything go back east so the east go for ever remain the same land locked underdeveloped, erosion plagued, crime ridden and  inhospitable worthless land. 

Obviously, you guys don't wanna stay in that shity place for a reason. esp' now, who wanna mess around and get shot or kidnapped

you're siting here beafing over lagos as if na lagos go deliver ya shity hole in delta from your looting and stealing kinsmen.

that nasty and dumb ass picture is not gonna prevent Fashola from commissioning another road, bridge, hospitals and clinics, flood lagos with more BRT or even lagosians from having a good time,

Keep carrying your poster waka all over the place like a sadist while Lagos dey steady rise and progress.

The joke is on you,

Or he can decamp to PDP  and run for the post of the president, then come back to AD after the election. Nothing in the constitution to prevent him doing so

sounds good to me but PDP is too odious,

The rest of Nigeria will soon follow the "trend setter" Lagos state

Bad bele no go allow them
