Anyone with a brain can see that Buhari is an absolute dullard. He won't even have the capacity of being a simple city mayor for a developed country, let alone president.

Eko Atlantic already has the first 8lane intra-city road in the country. The governor is also trying his best to widen some strategic roads across the state too.

The lekki master plan has 5 zones, u can check it here.

Really? I was actually going to say that the lekki-epe expressway had 8 lanes. But I think Eko Atlantic might have technically started before the construction of the expressway. But thanks for the link! This paragraph stood out to me.

"Based on the presentation made by the Lagos State Government in August 2008, the Lekki Infrastructure and Land Use Master Plan is a partnership between the Lagos State Government and the primary stakeholders in the sub region aimed at introducing order and functionality into the Lekki Sub- region to rescue the huge investments and the environment from going to waste."

When driving through lekki, I always think about how orderly everything is in comparison to other parts of the state. I'm happy to know that it's a result of proper planning, because nearly 10 yrs later this plan is definitely showing it's effect.

Yeah bro,
Cities of the Asian tigers and the jigsaws of middle east are new new Frontier for city wide development in this epoch.

My only concern for eko Atlantic and the islands is the incessant intermittent flooding northwards to the fringes of lekki,

The impact of the reclamation project is touted to be one of the causes of the past flooding,
Also geopastial intelligence shows, there have been eroded coastal parts of the islands and a huge chunk of land lost already, coupled with the adversities of global warming,

There's got to be ways we have to put things in check to balance with nature

Agreed, I share the same concerns. But I think it has more to do with the lekki side sewage infrastructure than anything else.

Lagos needs wider roads all over. We're learning, with the newer developments on the lekki side. And I'm glad Eko Atlantic built huge roads from scratch too.

LOL, that is a bit of litotic, hyperbolic and exaggerated,

Brother, I've seen New York. It is beautiful, but very dated in parts. It's a very dirty city. They don't have ample alleyways so garbage is dumped in front of buildings. When there was a strike by the waste disposal workers, the city reeked and looked like a trashcan. Honestly, there should be nothing surprising about the statement I made. New York is an older city, newer developments should look better. Dubai and Shanghai is more beautiful than New York to me at this point.

Edit: I didn't see your edit. But yes I agree. We need to remain focused. The Eko Atlantic project has industry leading development plans. From sewage, to water, to waste management. Everything is top of the line. But development needs to speed up. I think now that there's completed buildings, investors and subsequent development speed will sky rocket.

arinzeejikonye:
Mr maestro, let me help you rejig the oil well to hit the center of gravity #ekoatlantic

Beautiful. Modern. Elegant. Let this gauntlet end the debate once and for all. Kenya may be good and developing. But Nigeria is poised for historical greatness. Lagos has the leadership, focus, and economic backing to be the Shanghai or New York of Africa. Abuja has the central focus of the govt. Industries are growing all over the country. While our style and fashion, along with Nollywood can take elements from Paris and the U.S.' Hollywood. Nigeria is in a frustrating slumber right now, but once it hits its stride it will be a force.

Development is gearing up after sandfilling has been completed. Eko Atlantic Pearl Towers is already completed.

Kenya is not on our level. Just wait until Eko Atlantic is fully complete and occupied by skyscrapers.

iberrylee:
How can you guys stoop so low by arguing with those things called Kenyans, i dont see any sense in this thread. Why allow it to grow into thousand when it havent solved anything mitcheeeeew bunch of jobless schmucks

It's Tayser that is keeping it alive. He can post a full page by himself and have no shame.

I was stuck in traffic here. I honestly probably won't leave home until after New years. You can spend 5 hours in this traffic. I'm but even exaggerating this.

oluwaemmanuel:
I live in the state and I tell you.. He is a man of Propaganda... there is always an ulterior motive to his moves

You can't just make these comments with no statistical or concrete evidence to back it up. Especially not when we have so many economical stats showing the progress of the state under his tenure. If you can't back what you're saying with concrete evidence and numbers, then it will be taken as a baseless claim that shouldn't be given a second thought.

Markfemi2:
I’m already closing my diamond bank account today
I’m moving my business account to that GTBank stay there and be waiting
I’m sacking all my ibo suppliers next year
Two can play the game

GTB or FCMB would work. For those that want multiple options.

Markfemi2:
#boycott Igbo businesses fast

See. They think they're the only ones that can be tribal. They never think things through. It will only hurt them in the longrun. GTB will see this as an igbo attack on the bank. And thus refuse loans to igbo businesses, which is a financial death sentence because gtb has one of the largest capital of all banks. They'll also take igbo money from people who open accounts at the banks, which will happen because being honest GTB outnumbers every other back like 3 to 1. So who do you think will win this? GTB that gets money from all tribes, and will easily exclude igbo businesses from loans? Or a minor amount of igbo people that will remove money from GTB banks and put them into another bank? Largely unaffecting GTBs bottom line

Markfemi2:
You think Yoruba depend on gala
How many Igbo get purchasing power
By the time 2x2 store close down no one will tell you befte your brain e open

They're still peddling that lie of superior business skill, not knowing it has long been debunked. Whereas manufacturing industries are thriving in ogun and Lagos.

A little bit more good music for you soul. (Pun intended)

Nigerian fashion and music is unmatched.

This is a dedication to all the bleaching Naija slay kings and queens.

Even your best is Nigerian made. Typical. I tried watching but I just couldn't bear it. Bad beat, horrible hook, no fashion. The only good thing about it was the visuals, which was the Nigerian touch. No wonder Kenya can't compete in music, you lack the style and attention to detail in music. If you want a true showcase of African beauty, culture, melanin, and fashion, I'll gladly oblige. Just don't post anything related to music or fashion ever again, because you're sure to get embarrassed in this comparison to Nigeria.


Notice the different shades of melanin, the swagger, the fashion, the elegance, the beauty, and the culture. Also, notice the comments on the video.

TayserMahiri:
Obaslave has been having a heck of a hard time ever since his village insults were relegated to nothing.

I hope you know that all of your credibility goes out of the window when you resort to insults.

TayserMahiri:
Dont confuse the forum with this thread.I hardly give a piss about the forum.

You've been here for almost a year now and pay almost everyday. It's safe to say that it's your opinium.

obaaderemi:
How come I don't know this place? Where in Lagos is it?

It's in VI. just off the island

Hans and Rene Ice Cream Shop. My favorite ice cream shop in Lagos

More Lagos parks

The hatred they gave to other tribes on the account of Kanu has finally come back around to bite them. Just don't act surprised this time around.

Additional. Freedom Park

Freedom Park.

:oWow! Please post all the ones that you have.

More. 2nd is Muri Okunola Park. VI, Lagos

I see you Kenya. I have Kenyan friends. But let's tone down the hostilities. This should be a point of celebration on the development of African countries. Let's all be happy, instead of turning this long overdue development into bitterness and hostilities.

Here are some parks in my home state Lagos.

deomelllo:
Muri Okunola Park, VI.

I honestly thought this was California or Miami. WOW. I should be seeing these on that stupid Kenya thread. Lol

Wait where is this one?

femijay8271:
Hmmmmm, pls why all those flags?

Lagos is the soon to be the 3rd largest economy in ALL of Africa, and it's just a state. Lagos is about to take center stage to Africa and the world. The flags are a sign of this.

Wow. This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Might mistake this setting for a European country. WELL DONE AMBODE.

Yoruba have always been the savvy industrialists. We were in a slumber after creating the first network television station in Africa, after creating one of the first towers in sub Saharan Africa, being the first African to win the Nobel prize, industrializing cocoa, etc. But now, it seems there is a Yoruba Renaissance taking place. Industry is popping up left, right, and center! Just let Eko Atlantic finish, Lagos will be the next Shanghai. Ogun will be the next Shenzen. Honestly, I wouldn't mind disintegration. Then we can get rid of the dead weight that is Nigeria. God bless the Yoruba!

Baba I slept without electricity woke up without it and now I am in another part of Lagos of lagos where the generator has been blaring since I came yet some shady people want me to believe they have 22 hours of electricity everyday ..haba

I agree. I don't trust this comment. I have family in ikorodu and lekki peninsula. Both have not received light since Saturday. This has been horrible.
