But a Nigerian came up with the idea of banana island. Stop feeling inferior to people with paler skin than you.
coming up with an idea is one thing. actualizing it is another. they had look for a libanese company to fill up and develop the place.left for only Nigeria you will be only Seeing bungalows there. I wonder why we have lost our confidence as a people and nation. While other smaller countries are improving their skyline with breathtaking skyscrapers. e.g Kenya and even Rwanda.Nigeria is foolishly building 5to10 story structures and calling them towers.if you check the skyline of Abuja it has not changed from what it was 20 years ago.even the millennium tower that was supposed to serve as a national monument is in ruins and countries like Ghana have completed all the projects that were started long after it.even those that call themselves billionaire would prefer to buy a billion naira land and put up a 500million naira property on it.like the rubbish Mike Adenuga is putting up in banana island.Nigeria just needs to be re colonized.because the only period they was semblance of real confidence and development was when we were freshly out of colonial rule because almost everybody body had the oyibo mentality. that is why theywere able to develop the Marina district of Lagos island.since we lost the confidence as a country and people.you can hardly hear a Nigerian talking of building skyscrapers talkless of the government. The few tall buildings you see in Victoria island are owned by the libanese.

The part where those towers are built are for commercial high-rise buildings.....4th Avenue....you may like to know that sujimoto is building a tower close to those towers at the moment....its not just about building you need development permit and a lot of tests and documents are needed before embarking on such project

Wonder why Nigeria is so primitive and slow to develop? Because it is full of Nigerians. Here is an image of Banana island. The colorful skyscrapers are on the part that was developed by Lebanese. The rest of it went to Nigerian developers. See the difference?

The Lebanese built these towers almost 10 years ago. And since then, the Nigerians haven't erected anything taller than 3 stories.

You are not smart,boy. The op you are defending was the one praising the Lebanese buildings in banana island, and he said you Nigerians are monkeys because you can't build the kind of Lebanese owned buildings in banana island. If that's not inferiority complex, then what is it, big mouth?

What are you talking about? Lagos attracts a lot of foreign investment. Especially in its real estate space. Everything doesn't have to be built by Nigerians. Remember, the 1004 towers were built by the Federal government as far back as the 1970s! They are more than the buildings on banana island you people are shouting about. And they were designed by a Nigerian.

Are they luxurious apartments or simply high rise building apartment?
Why should I pay millions of dollars to live in banana island and end up sharing swimming pool, tennis court or even gym facilities with other tenants.
When I can buy my own house with enough green, outdoor and privacy. I can even cultivate my own garden.
There's a reason there are few high rise in wealthy neighbourhood anywhere in the world.

Lebanese are idiots. Their country is in shambles. Nigerians are just so stupid that rejects from the middle east can dominate your country.

Bro you are rolling with blunder if you limit the stupidity of Africans on Nigerians alone. Africans literally self-acclaimed to be "Black". The black was termed coined by 18th century European airheads who theorized that Africans are only good for enslavement.

Even the idea of Banana Island is monkey-ish.

This so-called "excusive real estate" that looks like a construction site a decade after its completion? Where are the grocery stores? Where is the mall?Where is the movie theatre or the Marina? There is nothing in this place to make it desirable. It would be considered a slum in the U.S. Even those Lebanese buildings that tower over your bungalows look like council flats (public housing) in the U.K.

Nigeria is a worthless country full of worthless people.

I totally agree with you. It's so unfortunately that the only thing the average Nigerian knows is give birth to bastard children all over the place and having 5 baby mamas

You're conflating the stereotype of black people with Nigerians. Nigerians are not blacks. Nigeria is made of ethnic nationalities with rich, mature heritages. Nigerian cultures are deep and Nigerians largely informed by established ways of being. You're fundamentally insulting by superimposing those lazy, comfortable views you have of black people abroad on Nigerians.
