[quote author=Galaxy.Note.II]I wish Nigeria and Lagos would adopt multiple nuclei concept of urban spatial planning. A centered concept is not working for Nigeria. we need a Lagos/Abuja in every state. [/quote]I also wish, but if other Nigerians(Fg & other states) aren't thinking the way they should... sorry man

The state government wants to develop tourism as a means of generating employment for the people.

The Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of Tourism and Intergovernmental Relations, Ashamu Fadipe, on Monday said the government had mapped out strategies to upgrade tourism sites in Lekki and Badagry.

Mr. Fadipe made this known in an interview in Ikeja.

“Those strategies, include the development of Lekki axis as resort centres and Badagry axis as the former slave routes and its other cultural and tourism potential,” she said.

Mr. Fadipe said that the decision of the state government to develop the two areas was due to their enormous tourism potential.

“The essence of doing this is to harness the potential of the area. The potential are enormous. If you want to talk of what we have in Lekki axis, there are Island culture, lake, lagoon, rivers leading to the Atlantic Ocean and the cultural aspect of people within that locality.

“On the other side of Badagry, we have the first storey building, the slave market and so many other things that have to do with history. These are what the international tourists want to see and these are what adventure visitors want to see. In doing this, it is the way of making the locality known; making the state known and also making Nigeria known as well,” he said.

The permanent secretary said the decision of the government was meant to develop tourism as a means of generating employment for the people.

He added that many people would benefit economically from a visitor that stayed in a locality for at least one week.

bid4rich: I guess they see Eko Atlantic City as an investment opportunity. Arent you see that the map of African continent is like a pistol when its rotated and Nigeria is at the very triggering point? I dont know what you see o but thats what I see 'cos by 2015, Nigeria will be the most desired nation to live in. God bless Nigeria

It ain't easy.
By the time I'm completed, I'll be among top ten cities to be be refered to in the world.

[quote author=Wily/Wily]Before i was born there was a Country,[/quote]The book died with the writer and the country is even still existing (making the book look like one full of lies and unrealistic prophecies)

[quote author=Wily/Wily]You and i know that Nigeria is on her last days,[/quote]May be may be not. Sincerely, I don't see any disintegration happening soon. Years when things were tenser have passed with nothing close to 'it' happening.
The force or should I say corrupt powers holding 9ja together is bigger than your imaginations.

[quote author=Wily/Wily]you dey make me laugh, be proud of who you are[/quote]I'm proud I'll not be living in a landlocked country in the future, you should also be proud of being a landlocked biafra citizen

[quote author=Wily/Wily]wily wily Land lock region!!, but access to sea does not equate to wealth.[/quote]till then we shall see. landlocked nations like niger, burkina faso, mali are rich though you'll join your league

[quote author=Wily/Wily]I have myself to blame, but lets work hard toward disintegrating first, then see what would happen later.[/quote]You work harder, the time we worked hard for the non existence of this country, your kin Azikiwe truncated it. You're on you own now

[quote author=Wily/Wily]If Fulani/Hausa North decide to go their separate way, Yorubas will die of Hunger, d reason why Yorubas are doing everything to please them.[/quote]We all know the landlocked region that is best for only red oyel and erosion calamity, same people shouted genocide 46 years ago over an ordinary civilian's action
Who are you gonna blame for the next starvation coming to this same region soon when disintegration eventually happens?

shymexx: ^^^^That's a million dollar question...

You shouldn't have a problem with that - it's his forum and if he prefers to run it into the ground for temporary benefits and traffic, that's his cup-of-tea... We internet heads know that, nothing lasts forever on the internet and people are also dynamic with new trends... I just hope nl don't end up like washed up hi5.com and msn messenger..

This forum definitely needs a competition and I'm planning to build a forum with advanced features devoid of tribalism that'll challenge nairaland...

Watch out for: www.serengetichat.com....

dayokanu: Saying Soyinka is a local Chapion is not tribalistic then what is tribalistic? Calling a whole Nobel Laureate winner THE ONLY Nobel winner in this country a local Champion?

Can someone who won World player of the year be called a Local Champion? If he is Local how come the greatest award in his field recognized him?

if a Yoruba person had said that it would have been extreme ignorance and foolishness

You can say that again "THE ONLY ONE"

[quote author=*556#]Achebe can never win a Nobel Prize, even in his grave. He died with his bitterness.[/quote]Nnenna that's the difference level pass level.
Soyinka was even the first in Africa, it's a record your great grand kids self will see and hear of

You've got to give it to this man
A BOSS will forever be a BOSS

Lol
Jerry you've got no swagg

HNosegbe: @ OP,

Nairaland is a microcosm of Nigeria. Whatever ethnic rivalries you see here are reflective of the state of affairs in the larger country.

Nigeria is a country full of faultlines. Ethnic nationalities who have been apart for thousands of years (and are as different as night and day) have been merged together for the past 99 years.

99 years is a short time, historically speaking.

It will take several more decades to deal with our ethnic and foundational differences and learn to live together as one nation. Until that happens, don't expect Yorubas, Hausas and Igbos to get all cuddly beccause they have been lumped together in a British experiment.

That's the unfortunate truth.

I disagree at the bolded part. The mind set of a common Nigerian(don't know about the Northerners) is far from that.
Ethnic rivalry on forums are scripts being acted/played for a purpose. Shouldn't be taken serious

Emyogalanya: Who dash him

Our Yansh: Eko Atlantic = Musiwa (1-100)

Don't ask me how or why....

You know that can't be true... Musiwa na boss

LWKMD
Public holiday for dem alaibo

Aschebe ain't more than a street boy who vom-ited trash to crumble nigeria to Nigerians outside ibo land.

No be only public holiday dem go get. Mumu(s) reloaded.

1oracle: I thought that we have the so called one Nigeria. So OPC will defend yoruba land and not Nigeria? Since OPC has s much strength and power to defend, why not relocate to the north and defend the one Nigeria that awolowo so much believed in? Why wait to defend yoruba land only? So OPC and yorubas doesn't believe in one Nigeria again?.

Awolowo was only building what Azikiwe loved.

LADY OF RAGE: hahahahaha! I can imagine dayokanu and Bluetooth running with wrapper round their waist to Benin republic!

Just like the boss ojuku

mikey2fin: I trust Yoruba people when it come to protecting and defending their self to death. Not we igbos that are
barking like dogs in front of Computers and making empty threats

Afam4eva: Why are Nigerians just very boastful. Instead of them to shut up and pray that bokoharam does not cause damage, they're busy mouthing off as if say if kasala burst everybody everybody no go do pilgrimage for cotonou. The first ghosa wey i hear, no be person go tell me say make i get ecowas passport wey go carry me reach seme border. make una dey boast una hear.

Just like the Biafra warlord ran to Ivory coast after he has boasted of having the best force in Africa. He's the best defination for not only being boastful but also being coward.

ZUBY77: OPC would say anything to remain relevant. I didn't bother reading the post but i know how difficult it is to defend against terroriism. The might United States are still struggling in afgha- pakis- and all the nistans

The middle east is not Americans home and that's why they are 'struggling' there, their home which is the US is still one of the safest place against terrorism.

Akshow: for your left mind you don mention people be that o. In a tribe of millions, who claim to be superior, if this is all you can come up with, then i advice you bury your head in shame. I can't even start mentionin that of yorubas, because that will be shallow and silly of me. Douchebag!

You go fear
Those from Ekiti alone should beat what the whole tribe got. Adding up products of Ogun and Oyo will make the whole ibo tribe look and crash this site.
And now comparing the whole Yorubas with ibos is gonna be disastrous. Damn humiliating
