Africa Square Tower (76 floors)

Interestingly, the tallest building in Centenary city may be taller than the tallest that Eko Atlantic City will have to offer. While research and news emerging from Lagos suggests that the tallest structures in Eko Atlantic City may be around the 50 floor mark, the Africa Square Tower in Centenary City will be 76 floors, which would make it taller than Africa's current tallest building (the Carlton Centre). The Africa Square Tower (image above) will boast of 30 floors of luxury apartments and 46 floors of premium office space.

Politics › Re: Nairaland Is Controlled By The White Man by Horus(m):
GenBuhari:
Neo-colonialism is alive and thriving even showing itself on how Nairaland is managed.

I recently came to realise that no thread that is even remotely critical of the white man or tries to enlighten us about neo-colonialism ever makes it onto the front page.

But threads that tells the white man's version of colonialism and propaganda often makes the front page.

Mods why?
We have to be very careful around the internet, many people have alternative agendas. Euro/Americans are on African forums to see what they can get away with within mainstream media. Many Europeans are here on Nairaland in disguise just to try and control the wave of information reaching our people and are here trying to deter your understanding. They post tribalistic messages to divide Africans. There are many agendas behind what you read. Know that it is actually an understanding of positive and negative that will truly tell you what is in the best interests for Africans. A righteous African may disagree with aspects of the message but they would not openly try and deter others from receiving it.
Foreign Affairs › US Police Kill Black Boy, 12, Carrying Toy Gun by Horus(op): 7:37pm On Nov 25, 2014
[size=17pt]US police kill boy, 12, carrying toy gun[/size]

24 November 2014

A 12-year-old boy has died after being shot by police in the US city of Cleveland, after carrying what turned out to be a replica gun in a playground.

Police say an officer fired two shots at Tamir Rice after he failed to obey an order to raise his hands.

He did not make any verbal threats nor point the gun towards the officers.

A lawyer representing his family said it would be carrying out its own investigation into what happened.

The incident comes as a grand jury decision in Ferguson, Missouri, will decide imminently whether to indict a police officer in the fatal shooting death of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager.

An investigation is now under way into the shooting of Tamir Rice

A recording reveals the 911 caller did not know if the weapon was real.

The boy was shot on Saturday afternoon and died in hospital early on Sunday morning.

Cleveland deputy police chief Ed Tomba said the boy shot twice after pulling the gun from the waistband of his trousers.

Police said the weapon was an "airsoft" replica gun that resembled a semi-automatic pistol, adding that an orange safety indicator had been removed.

An audio recording of the 911 emergency call made by the man who reported the incident reveals that on two occasions he said that the pistol was "probably a fake" and on another occasion that the person holding it "was probably a juvenile".

The caller also said that he was not sure whether the weapon was "real or not".

But Jeff Follmer, president of the Cleveland police association, said the two officers at the scene were not told about the caller's comments.

One of the officers involved was in his first year on the local force, the other had more than 10 years of experience.

The BBC's David Willis in Washington says an official investigation is under way and both officers have been placed on administrative leave.

Tamir Rice's father, Gregory Henderson, said that police should have used a stun gun - or Taser - to subdue his son than shoot him.

"Why not Tase him?" he was quoted as asking by Cleveland.com. "[They] shot him twice, not once, and at the end of the day you all don't shoot for the legs, you shoot for the upper body," he said.

Mr Henderson said that Tamir was a "respectful young man" who "minded his elders", and he that it was a mystery to him why son, reported to be tall for his age, allegedly did not follow police orders.

There have been calls for tighter controls on fake guns, with one local lawmaker - Alicia Reece - saying she intends to introduce legislation that would require fake guns sold in Ohio to be brightly coloured.

A lawyer for Rice's family, Timothy Kucharski, told the BBC that he would be conducting an investigation, in "parallel" to the police, in order to establish exactly what happened.

"If in fact we determine that Tamir's rights are violated, we will proceed with civil action against the police," he said.

Cleveland's police force has come under increased scrutiny in recent years, most notably over a high-profile car chase in 2012 that ended with two deaths and officers firing 137 shots.

Family and friends of killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice held a vigil at the playground near Cudell Recreation Center where he was shot by police in Cleveland on Monday.

Rice's father and elder sister attended the vigil, with his sister Tajai Rice saying that "he loved everybody" and that she "doesn't understand why" her brother was killed. Community and faith leaders also addressed the gathering, asking for donations towards Rice's funeral.

Tamir Rice was shot dead while playing with a fake gun on Saturday. Cuyahoga County confirmed that he was shot twice in the torso at around 15:30 local time, later dying from his injuries on Sunday at the MetroHealth Medical Center.
