-Think about the cash to keep the generator running
cinema houses elsewhere don't have that pressure
Think about the cash to keep the place secure. If you've got a problem
Debate and get shut up or build your own cinema house and we'll see if
customers wil say it's cheap

r you talking bout the one at ceddi plaza?

The shopping revolution has already begun in Nigeria. The Palms shopping mall was never intended as just an alternative but rather has a Trend setter. The reason why such developments were possible in places like Dubai (which before was just another Arabic city), Singapore, India, China( all these places were all shadows of their true potential some like Singapore and Japan were never thought to have any potential whatsoever. The reason why India got out of its shell is because the old governing style was abandoned, reforms took place, India which previously had to take loans and import grains to feed its starving population now became a major exporter of various sort of food. But of more relevance to the issue at hand the business became friendly, and India opened its doors to the world. The same is achievable in Nigeria because the military government has been kicked out, even though corruption still lingers in the country and the country’s problems still exist, the economy of Nigeria has become more transparent. Big Investors are starting to flock into the country and a rapid increase in the investments percentage (on a scale perhaps never seen elsewhere in the world, no really I’m not kidding Nigeria is playing catch-up 6.2 percent growth in economy isn’t easy). Investors are flocking in not because of immediate success or by what the world see Nigeria as but because of the potential that Nigeria has. I’m not been optimistic but the only thing that we’ll stop Nigeria now won’t be corruption but a rapid change of governance (the problem isn’t corruption; the problem is the tolerance of corruption).

Proof that Nigeria is emerging from the woods maybe not out yet but emerging.
are the proposals of these shopping centers
- Sharon shopping malls and hotels (Abuja) (Def bigger than the palms l’eko)
the mall is 3floors
- No name mall (yet) in Royal Gardens Estate, Lekki Development Corridor (Victoria Island), Situated on 6.6 hectares (66,700 square meters) again def bigger than the palms
- Again name unknown, mall to be built by Trustville Properties Development Company Limited in the Ojo axis of metropolitan Lagos (def not bigger than the palms, only costs 4.5 million dollars, palms costs 30 mill and the six floor ceddi plaza in Abuja CBD costs 10 mill
- Tinapa shopping and Entertainment center, 80,000sq meters (def bigger than the palms, gee enough with all these palms comparisms nah)
- Abuja Trading Centre, 4 floors built on a total area of 47,000sq meters also features a mosque (here we go again, def bigger than the palms)

Then you’ve got the already built six floor ceddi plaza built about 3yrs ago and with a nu metro cinema that opened just recently. The ceddi plaza is built on 14,000 square meters, I personally prefer the ceddi plaza to the palms, because I don’t fancy one floor shopping centers. The ceddi plaza is six floors it has paranomic lifts, escalators, and it has more lettable space than the palms it’s even got a basement for other retails

Also the proposed Bar Beach Waterfront, Lagos, Nigeria will cost: US$400 Million).
and when complete will feature a range of shopping complexes and cinemas (note this development is not good news, the US government warned Nigeria in the 50s and 60s to build a huge levy at bar beach to protect the land and people from possible tropical storms, You all saw what happened during hurricane season last year if a storm as big as Katrina was to hit in Lagos, thousands and possibly millions would die directly and indirectly, till date that levy still hasn’t been built Nigeria fortunately Nigeria isn’t a land of natural disasters but nowadays with climatic changes like; Global dimming and Global warming, unexpected occurrences are possible. The money that’ll be spent on making the beach area look pretty, should be spent on protecting it, because all that money could be lost in the twinkle of an eye, this aint meant to cause any panic butta it’s reality, Nigeria in this situation should be doing business with the Dutch (specialty: keeping the water out) and not the Italians (specialty: building)

All developments above are privately funded, Tinapa shopping center is to be partially funded by Gov and I don’t know didley bout the Abuja trading center

tons of nigerians found theback of the net in various leagues thanx sir kay

unter, Tourism is all about the big picture don't be fooled. Tourism developments are by no means mismanagement.
Take for example Tinapa, it's an investment which has been funded by the private sector, the things that are been built will
not only attract tourists but also business people willing to invest in the country. They'll realize that things in the business
term have gotten better and that the Nigerian economy has gotten more transparent. Because of all the edifices and
buisnesses opening up jobs will be created thus pumping money back into the local economy. Some people get mistaken that
tourism in Nigeria is all about making the country look good when actually it's not, but that's not the case, the
Government's idea of what tourism can do for the nation is about creating and expanding the local economy and also,
and also let me repeat; shed the bad image of Nigeria. Some will say that they still think that the same money that is been
spent all those pretties, which by the way is not of the government but of the PRIVATE SECTOR SECTORR!!!!, is
better spent on hospitals and schools and other infrastructural necessities, but in the end of the big picture like I said earlier
on money will be produced form this investment that can then be spent on other things. But don't get me wrong, I from
my perspective think that tourism is very important but I don't think that it is the number one priority, Education, Electricity,
health, water supply are all much more needed, precisely which is exactly why the government of Nigeria have not neglected
these Key issues. For example the government has increased the portion of the 2007 budget that was scheduled for
health to a whooping 12%, do the calculations from the total of money obtained from Winfall oil prices, non oil exports
(which has gotten a smashing kick starts), and that is a lot of cash. But the again you can't help but feel all that cash,
all that cash, could it be going into someone’s pocket which is exactly why all the tourism developments going on in the
Nation right now and those proposed for the future are been monitored by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), for
mismanagement. Peace

It'll be as crap as the East coast customs. jus kidding. But it is possible it's possible anywhere it just takes mechanics and money and people that want fixed cars

Unprecedented' success for Lagos Motor Show

The second edition of the Lagos Motor Show will even be bigger and better in October 2006, according to the show organiser, Fashintext Limited, and the collaborating NTA 2 Channel 5 Lagos.

Number of official visitors have been confirmed and this has been put at 5,000 but expectations are that all participating exhibitors at the Ocean View grounds on Victoria Island, where the event slated to begin October 5 and end on the 11th will hold have completed and signed necessary papers for the very limited space available.

Though the participants for the 2006 show had already been pencilled, Mr Ifeanyi Agwu, Managing Director of the organising company, says the success of this year's event depends also on the chances of more car accessory dealers, more car manufacturers’ representatives and more visitors taking full advantage of the fair to either display or choose their favourite vehicles or accessories.

Throughout the show, participants and invited visitors will take advantage of a special press squad to air their views on this year's event in the exclusive ‘Press Room’. There will be good music and other forms of entertainment, the event organisers promised.

While many have complained in the past about absence of car franchisee organisations like Coscharis which markets BMW and Globe Motors for Mercedes Benz, the overall opinion now is positive that the rave of the moment dealerships like Chery Motors and BriscoeFord are ready to show their model line- ups.

What do you think?
Be ready to fill a simple questionnaire at the fair ground, such as: Did you come to the Motor Show to see the latest offering? What were your impressions? Did you expect more or did you leave happy? And most importantly, will you be back in 2007? The organisers will want to hear from you. There will also be possible discussions on the challenges of bad fuel and its effect on the economy.

The people that migrated were hausa's and that was way back before nigeria was even independent so it wasn't because of standard of living I think

I get al your point this is a bit off topic, butta some nigerians years back migrated to S. Niger

My point is clear and straight forward. what Arsenal(my team) achieved in decades, chelsea undeservingly achieved because of a rich tycoon from russia. there isn't an even playing field like what it used to be back in the days. I fthat wasn't bad ebough glazer comes in. Why can't business people just understand that soccer is a sport and not a nice way to make cash. The proper way to make cash out of football is by promoting your name through sponsorship. Every one knows that Chelsea are only mighty Chelsea cos of cash. But cash or no cash Arsenal we'll make em pay next season.

I can't say nothing cos i haven't been there nor seen pics
Akwa's alright but calabar and tinpa are better

Abidjan isn't the best city in West Africa it was the best city in the whole of Africa in the 70s butta corruption and lack od developments have stunted it's growth. I reckon the best city in West Africa is Dakar followed by Abuja and then Accra. Abuja is technically better than Dakar but the city aint complete yet all those pics of Abidjan are old pics long before the war.

Football and other sports have turned into business it's the sad facts. Money is the root of all evil. That's what happened to Juventus. For good or for bad business has come into football.Hate it or Love it. I hate Chelsea money gays Peace

Isreal and hizbollah better not get Iran involved. It's always said that isreal has enough fire power to disable the any country in th middle east but if Iran feels weak and intimidated they mey bring in mass weapons
