NewNigeriaMind:
Just like your joke here about obinna, it's called ass sucking. You have made specific reference to igbo people twice on this thread for no reason and you at the same saying the thread shouldn't go tribal.

Do you need a justification from them before you will believe you leaders are getting it right.

You have derailed the thread yoursefl.

I have to address this. This is not called whatever you think it is. I will assume you live in Naija and have a better idea of the situation than me, but my impression is that certain groups of people don't feel welcome nor appreciated enough in Lagos hence some of the outcries.
That comment has a red herring tone to it and was included for diplomatic reasons. Anyways, it will be deleted. Let's all relax and enjoy the privilege of being able to witness such an amazing project.

NewNigeriaMind:
OP I am sorry to say but you have derailed the thread yourself with your tribal rant.

All in your initial post you said all tribes including a certain people. That is not necessary giving specifics. All you have to say is all tribes and leave it at that.

I will advice you go and edit the initial post and remove that specific part.

I have removed that post. Can we get back on topic now?

googlepikin:
mumu you work there as what? dummy since you work there why not snap pictures your self and show us. yoloba always waiting for people to do something for them since 1920s. a private investors project is now own by tinbu and fashola.we all know the tribe that buys property the most in Nigeria.

I thought I clearly emphasised this thread is not the place for tribal argument? All of you guys can't help yourself can you?

panachuku:
VI no get eta drainage , hope this one wud have, and not even sink. saw a brochure advertising apartments in eko atlantic, d money na die, make i go hustle

My estimate is within the next 15 years, proper underground drainage system should be fully installed across VI. Eko Atlantic city(EAC) will definitely have manhattan-brooklyn effect on soroundings streets. The fact EAC will be using underground electrical transmission and drainage system, is a big positive for me.

Pangea:
Abeg
How much will a flat cost in the residential complex ?

I am hearing rumors of between $600,000 - $9000000(for exquisite penthouse).
To keep with the spirit of this thread, I will send an email to 'sales@ekopearl.com' to have a more realistic ballpark figures.

NewNigeriaMind:
Yeah I agree men and women from all tribes are working in to make this a reality.

But that wouldn't change the brains behind the projects or the risk takers.

If this projects fails, Tinubu will be blamed.

So all praise regarding the success should also go to Tinubu.


This is Tinubu brain child if someone has a problem with that, there is little you can do.

Absolutely agree with you. He surely deserve a lot of praise for his vision and boldness. Thanks for giving a more balanced comment.

oduastates:
Ilu Eeko.
Simply pump in electricity and see the SW rise up.
In order to criticise this project, I had to enter the mind of tinubu and Fashola. At the end of the day, I had to give up on the criticism once I discovered it.
Unlike many here, i asked the question, why is the money not being spent in ikorodu or other rundown neighbourhoods?
Then you realise that in order to fund those neighbourhood regeneration, the money has to come from somewhere.
The state is already maxing out on its capacity to generate revenue

The vision is beyond the comprehension of most people.
This is a direct play for leadership on both the West African sub regional level but also on the continent against south Africa.
This is a play to make lagos the commercial, financial, manufacturing,shipping and air traffic hub of Africa.


If you doubt, look at the project for which funding is being sourced or are already complete

Just saw your comment and I must say it was was quite a refreshing read. Great to see many great things happening in Lagos. All other states needs to follow suits, at least do something like china did with all their province.
Thanks and keep them coming.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
