African Film City Project in Epe, in the Eastern part of Lagos

A huge "film city" and visitor attraction project in Nigeria has reached a major milestone, following the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between marketing and development agency Del York International Group and The Lagos State Government.

The two partners signed what they described as a "monumental agreement to transform the face of the creative industry on the continent of Africa".

The deal will see the state government officially back the plans, which outline the creation of a leading destination for film-making, creativity and storytelling.

In 2021, Del York International appointed US-based experience design and production group, Storyland Studios, to masterplan and design the film city and entertainment industry campus.

The facility is envisioned as a sanctuary of leisure, entertainment, and learning; a place where film and all types of creative industry professionals can live, work, and learn in a serene and conducive environment with best-in-class facilities intermingled with amenities and infrastructure that support a modern sustainable city.

As part of the MoU, the project has been called "Kebulania" – a play on the word Alkebulan, the ancient name for Africa, which translates to 'Mother of Mankind' or 'Garden of Eden'.

Linus Idahosa, president and founder of Del York International Group, said: "“The industry has long desired a home, that special place on the continent that would galvanise our young people to a new hope while igniting the fire of their creativity.

“The continent’s burgeoning community of creatives have long been inspired through the magic of film and television, spiriting themselves into worlds they never thought possible, but curtailed by their immediate circumstances.

Niger Republic Divert Tinubu's Jet off Its Airspace

An international incident was narrowly averted yesterday when a jet carrying Bola Tinubu was redirected away from Nigerian airspace.
After spending approximately two weeks abroad in France, Tinubu was en route back to Nigeria when, after passing over Algerian airspace and a short distance into Nigerien airspace, the aircraft abruptly veered westward, an unusual deviation for an eastbound flight. Such a sharp turn typically signifies an emergency.

To illustrate the flight path, a direct route from Algeria to Abuja, Nigeria would naturally involve passing over Niamey. However, the aircraft instead made an unexpected detour westward into Burkina Faso, suggesting an attempt to avoid something in Nigerien airspace. This diversion raised questions, as it seemed inefficient to burn aviation fuel merely to circumvent Niger's airspace.

Further complicating matters, the aircraft appeared to be headed towards Ghana during this deviation, only to make another sharp turn back eastward, eventually flying over Togo, Benin Republic, before reaching Abuja. It is crucial to note that the Nigerian authorities had recently reopened their airspace to civilian aircraft, and the aircraft carrying Tinubu belonged to the Nigerian presidential fleet, managed by the Nigerian Air Force. Therefore, the denial of airspace access raised concerns about what prompted this action.

Given the abrupt diversion into Burkina Faso, it is plausible that the Nigerien authorities perceived a threat or issued a warning that the aircraft would be forcibly grounded if it did not leave their airspace immediately. Was the Nigerien decision justified? The answer is complex. Notably, Tinubu and other ECOWAS leaders had previously threatened Niger with military intervention to reinstate Bazoum as the elected President of Niger. While ECOWAS had mentioned diplomatic efforts, they consistently left the military option on the table. Therefore, Niger's anticipation of potential conflict with ECOWAS, despite the absence of overt hostilities, had some basis.

The continued closure of the Nigeria-Niger border and other ECOWAS sanctions had created an atmosphere that historically preceded wars. Additionally, there was the concern that the aircraft might be equipped with surveillance equipment, considering the week-long stay in France, a major aircraft manufacturer. Such equipment could be used for espionage while flying over Nigerien airspace. While these factors may have influenced the Nigerien authorities' decision, it is essential to approach situations like these with caution rather than hastily.

Moreover, Nigeria and Niger are neighboring countries with deep historical ties. Even in the event of an internal conflict in Niger, Nigeria would likely serve as a refuge for those fleeing the turmoil. The ECOWAS leaders' reactions following the military coup in Niger might not have been the most constructive approach, as military regimes often respond to force more than diplomacy. The situation was further complicated by the fact that some prominent ECOWAS leaders had themselves come to power through coups or controversial means.

The sanctions imposed on Niger by ECOWAS leaders were, in a sense, affecting the same leaders who had initiated them. Tinubu's situation, from electoral disputes to judicial challenges, paralleled the controversies surrounding some ECOWAS leaders. The inconvenience of a two-hour detour to avoid Nigerien airspace during a six-hour journey to Europe, along with the deteriorating relations, showcased the unfortunate state of affairs.

The long-standing camaraderie between Nigeria and Niger has been strained, and it is essential to reflect on what has caused this decline in a once-robust relationship. Internal issues and controversies within Nigeria have contributed to its declining international standing. Until Nigerians, regardless of their profession or status, collectively strive to do what is right, the nation may not witness meaningful progress. It is a call for all Nigerians to uphold integrity and accountability in their respective roles, fostering a brighter future for the country.

How The Blue and Red Light Rail Project Is Transforming Real Estate In Lagos

Two Rail Lines are underway in Lagos, blue line from Okokomaiko to Marina, and red line from Agbado to Marina, so will these change the Lagos real estate landscape?

Obviously, Lagos residents are in dire need of an active rail transport, considering the hectic gridlock of Lagos roads commuters face daily.

Consequently, the pace of work on both rail lines, brings glimmer of hope to Lagosians, but for investors, what does these rail lines present for real estate?

65% of Lagosians live on the mainland, over 70% of those who work in VI to Lekki Phase 1, commutes from the mainland. Therefore, the workforce coming from Mile 2, Festac and those from Ipaja, Agege, Oshodi now have a rail transport alternative to escape the road gridlock.

In terms of real estate market, the border towns around Sango, Ifo, Ijaiye will benefit a lot from the red rail line, some of the residents here work in VI and as far as Ajah. Moreso, an active rail line means corporate workers will add proximity to the nearest train station as criteria when they want to rent a place.

Lagos gives shanty owners on Blue Line rail corridor 7-day ultimatum to vacate

Lagos State on Sunday gave a seven-day ultimatum to shanty owners and traders on the setback on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway to move behind the road setback or relocate totally.

The Lagos-Badagry Expressway sits the Blue Line rail service from Orile to Iyana Iba and its Right-of-Way.

Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Mr Tokunbo Wahab, issued the ultimatum during an inspection tour of the rail line corridor.

He stressed that there was the need to ensure a complete restoration of the Right-of-Way of the Blue Line rail service which had been infringed upon by shanty owners and traders.

Wahab noted that the Lagos-Badagry Expressway itself through which the corridor passes is an international highway whose setback must be held sacrosanct.

He explained that the setback for the Lagos-Badagry Expressway was between 90 meters and 120 meters from the road and that any structure on the setback would not be allowed to stand.

He noted that the one-month notice the government gave to traders, squatters and occupiers of shanties and abandoned vehicles on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway to vacate the area had lapsed.

The commissioner laid emphasis on Agboju area of the corridor where squatters had erected shanties on the road setback and assured that the area would be beautified after the shanties had been removed.

He advised recalcitrant occupiers of shanties under the bridge before Abule Osun area, also on the corridor to move out before government’s enforcement team shoved them away.

Wahab charged commercial vehicle operators on the corridor to operate only from their designated parks as vehicles picking up or dropping passengers at undesignated bus stops would be impounded and their owners prosecuted.

The commissioner assured that government was determined to restore the greenery and beautify the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Agege, Lagos Island, Ikeja and other areas where traders had encroached on the Right-of-Way.

“A special intervention team is cleaning up the Lagos-Badagry Expressway to rid it of all environmental nuisances and black spots.

“The exercise will be sustained to ensure that ejected squatters do not return to rebuild their shanties,’’ Wahab said.

The commissioner also warned street traders in different parts of the state that no area encroached upon would be left out of the clean-up.

Wahab advised traders at Afolabi Ege Market, Iyana Iba, to relocate within seven days as they were the ones causing traffic gridlock in the area.
