Eko Esplanade Marina District

On a lighter note, one Igbo (see Obinna above) seems to have booked a space in the virtual renders. No time wasting for those business guys.

All pictures courtsey of Eko atalantic websites.

MugabeRobert:


Are you for real? So, I shouldn't post my PERSONAL opinion because someone will get emotional over it?

Who cares if my opinion would make someone slit his throat or mop pacific ocean?

Check my previous comment. Anyways, lets keep the socio politics to a minimum.

MugabeRobert:


I normally don't reply this^^^, but what's tribal in my post? Is this project not brain child of Tinubu and Fashola? Are they not Yoruba men?


Tinubu is a living legend.

Okay I have changed my opinion about the tribal thingy, it was the IQ jab that threw me off guard out of fear of a backlash from akpabio supporters.
Relative("") to most Governors Tinubu and Fashola are legends.

See blue beach with white sand .By closing my eyes, I can picture a better looking beach than the Miami one already.

Picture of let me guess.. brother Oluwasegun and brother Emeka enjoying themselves.

MugabeRobert:
And some bitter village morrons with IQ slightly above that of millipedes would want to compare Fashola with Akpabio. A corrupt local champion that is practical ruling Akwa Ibom from here, Lekki.

The same retardedd parasites with negatively wired genetics will tell you how they are developing Lagos or lagos is a NO man's land.

God bless Tinubu for laying a solid foundation.

God bless Fashola for making this project reality.

God shall bless Amobode for continuity.

God bless Odua Nation.

Please read my first comments strongly warning people not to post tribal comments or will be reffered to the mods. None of these tribal comments on nl are constructive or logical, rather it just derail the thread. So can you please edit your posts to be more topic friendly?

miraKUNLEus:
My Good God,if it's nt a sin to live in dis eko paradise n also gain ur special paradise in heaven,then pls give me MO#£¥.

One of the most important reason behind this topic was for motivational purpose, which I find equally as important as the project itself. Don't give up on your dream(Aim higher).

solapex:
@OP: if u are really serious about this trend I will advise you to post pixs of recent developments that are going on. I work at the eko Atlantic. I want to tell u that massive constructions are really going on over there. Please post recent pixs so that the whole world can see what Fashola and Tinubu are doing for Lagos.

This is all our thread, so the more contributions from everyone the better (That was the intention). I only come to Naij every other months, so you guys are better placed to post more recent pictures. I will surely post more, but your contribution will be greatly welcomed.

Obiodunukwe:


Nonsense.

Tell that to the dogs.
The project is in Yorubaland, the vision for the project was orchestrated by Yoruba men and women.

I will not edit the post because the poster is wishing that the project fails.

Then I have no choice but to ask the mods to delete it. Let's learn to be sensitive and accomodating.

Obiodunukwe:
Nice Pics.

Eko O Ni Baje ooo



This is not a state in the SE, it is a performing state. Stop the hate

Men and women from all tribes are working hard to make this a reality. So please edit your post.

Emphany:
We pray it doesn't become an abandoned project.

You have nothing to fear as it is privately funded by a competent company.
Here is another one.

eaglechild:
Still a far cry from the prototype.
But I guess it's little by little.

Will take some time to come to fruition.

The hardest part has been completed (Land reclaiming)
This is the second tower that will be going up this year

God is just too wonderful. He gave some brains for them to bomb each and some brains to beautify.

Eko oni baje oo

Indeed. The fact it is becoming a reality is buzzing.

One question, why use interlocking blocks for car lanes



Infrastructure works still ongoing



Road construction still ongoing

PUBLIC WARNING Due to increasing interest in this project from Nigerians living abroad (not sure about in Naija) couple with poor coverage given to this project, it is only right we have a permanent thread to keep everyone updated. This is not the thread to have any socio economic or political discussions, but to stay updated about the progress of this magnificent project. Therefore, any off topic comments like tribal rants or socio economic discussions will be deleted (cc: lalasticlala ishilove please note).

INTRODUCTION

Nature has always bestowed humanity worth unlimited opportunities to shape his surroundings and the world generally.From the oceans to the mountains and from the canyons to the reeds,mankind has faced and surmounted nature's challenging obstacles.All over the world,picturesque cities have been built on mountains and railway tunnels have been constructed underwater to link destinations.where some mere mortals see obstacles,men of courage and vision see opportunities and flexibility.Such is the story of Eko Atlantic City.

Quick recap: Since 2013, there have been an aggressive land reclamation project along the Bar Beach coastline called Eko Atlantic City which is now at the final stage. At completion,Eko Atlantic City will be sitting on about 10kms(4 square miles) of land.This is an area located just adjacent to Victoria Island by the Lagos Bar Beach.It will be comparable to the Manhattan District of New York as the developers disclosed.The area will be approximately the size of the district which boasts some of the world's tallest sky-scrappers.Eko Atlantic City will even be larger than a handful of beautiful Island countries.

The fairy tale have so far been turning into reality:













Furthermore, Eko Atlantic City will be home to 250,000 people of differnt nationalties and ethnicity. Developers said it will be world-class housing projects and residential towers.It is also expected that 150,000 will commute to the city daily for business.This is approximately half the population of a couple of states in the USA and more than the population of several island counties in the world. To put into perspective,it will be greater than the population of countries like Cape Verse,Bahamas,Brunei,Iceland,Malta,Belize.


The contract for the construction of Eko Atlantic City was awarded to South EnergyX,a subsidiary of the Chagoury Group in 2006.This was after Hi-Tech Construction Ltd,also a subsidiary of Chagoury Group,completed the km Shoreline protection of the Lagos Bar-Beach.

It will connect to an independent source of electricity and not the national power grid.stable power supply is a magnet for investment opportunities.

In a couple of years from now,Africa's Dubai will be sitting on the Atlantic Ocean.such will be a triumph for Marin Engineering.It happened in Dubai,and in Singapore,this time its happening in Nigeria.


Eko Atlantic will be a city to live and work in. With its tree-lined boulevards, waterways, manicured gardens, elegant plazas, three marinas and a stunning ocean front promenade, the new city will be a complete contrast to the congested, traffic-filled streets of Lagos.
