owobokiri: Look, I'm not a semi-literate or time waster. I deal in pure facts. You said Banana Island was like a typical working class neighbourhood in Guangzhou. I showed you a typical working class neighbourhood in Guangzhou, now you are talking rubbish. That Nigerians live in those buildings you posted means what? Where should they live before? In shacks? Even in America, Nigerians live in the best neighbourhoods, because we are middle class business people and educated people. But I've shown you were the working class Chinese live in Guangzhou, and it is not in those pictures you posted. 10 Likes |

Rosskiiku: The person you're quoting is crying within as the pics kept popping up on his/her screen. Why always Lagos I doubt if he'd ever been outside because a London residents should know the buildings they have there are left the way they are because its their heritage and identity. The modern building they build nowadays are structured in line with today's architectural developments. Just keep watching their pained asses while we continue to develop what we have. We'll surely get there if we don't stop doing our possible best. At least, Eko Atlantic City is a great example.

Rosskiiku:Working class Chinese live in the type of apartments I just showed you. You can splash saliva all over the place, your kettle of fish! I mentioned Clifford Estate for instance, so you can google that and read up. You are just a victim of your small thinking ability. You make the mistake of always thinking that what you consider big in Nigeria is big elsewhere. Told you that ordinary Nigerian traders who reside long term in China live in such places simply to drive home the point that it's a working class neighborhood! You can take a look at my profile pic too.. That's my daughter in a kids playing ground in a working class neighborhood in China about 5 years ago.. Take a look at the background and tell me whether it looks like the old neighborhoods pics you posted. Take a look at the hairdo and dressings of the Chinese in those your pics.. Obviously old pics.. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Ckonnet:There's nothing luxurious about your banana island compared to those "middle class" hideout as you said.. Every necessary living amenities are there. Quality schools Gyms Playing ground Highly furnished apartments Recreation centers Hospitals Hotels.... Name it... They're built like gated communities.. What the Chinese government has done to keep her over a billion people happy and quiet is to produce quality living standards at very cheap rates for them.. That should be the crux of this thread, how to replicate such here. Not this chest beating about a very placid looking estate.. just one! 5 Likes 1 Share |

GodHatesBigots: Lol. Average for who ? David Beckham, Pep Guardiola, Sir Richard Branson, Simon Cowell etal? Even Kensington, Chelsea and the best part of central London don't come close to Banana Island in grandeur and aesthetic beauty. Canary Wharf and Docklands would be close to Banana Island but not as naturally appealing because space is a premium therefore limiting home types to apartments in high rise buildings and ruling out the construction of the very stunning and individual palatial homes Banana Island offers. Other areas of river view appeal like Richmond, Twickenham, Barnes and Roehampton are just small, poncy, overhyped and overpriced addresses most professionals would struggle to afford. It is not even only banana Island alone that is on show in Lagos. You have Eko Atlantic, ilubirin, Orange Island and many other beautiful and award-winning development the UK just can't match for comparative value and natural geographical beauty. Like OP told you, forget thinking you're speaking to ignoramuses here with no knowledge of the UK. There are made men in Nigeria who would never live in the UK because their lives in Nigeria is far more grand and opulent. They only come to your UK hood to shop and impress their slay mistresses lol. 12 Likes |

The thing is banana Island might be expensive for many to live in but its choice properties. With the right seller, you can get a good deal. Many outside the country who are willing to come back home knows this. Also, I also deal in properties check this thread out https://www.nairaland.com/6536468/love-luxury-how-found-home |

Ckonnet: Don't mind that guy. These people, they type as if they think nobody else on Nairaland goes abroad or knows what's happening overseas, except them. This is a highly international forum. They paint this glorious picture of perfection in these places, and when you face them with the truth, they can't handle it. One even said I'd posted 'old' pictures of Guangzhou. Talk about being in denial. They reach these countries and live a cocooned life that prevents them from visiting, or knowing about much poorer neighbourhoods around them. Then they come on Nairaland to tell you they live in paradise. 1 Like |

Rosskiiku:You're wrong. It would suffice to explore various ways to diversify internally generated revenue options were it not for mismanagement and the average Nigerian's greed |
Re: Welcome To Banana Island, Lagos by Rossinkup: 1:44am On May 04, 2021 |
MrFlavvor: I disagree. Our entire annual budget of $35 billion is LESS THAN HALF of the US state of California's $77 billion High Speed Rail Construction Project. Even if you DOUBLED our annual budget, it still wouldn't reach the cost of this single project. https://constructionreviewonline.com/biggest-projects/top-5-ongoing-mega-projects-in-usa/ There is simply no way Nigeria can be a developed, advanced nation with that kind of low income, even if she was ruled by saints. YOU need to contribute, if you are a Nigerian, by starting a business that will add to our GDP and build a diversified economy. 3 Likes |
