It might be too late for that. Try and go to the hospital tomorrow morning to complain. They may have to add some strong antibiotics to your drugs (methanidazole family). Mind you, I am not prescribing drugs for you; I am just trying to help me as a result of what I also experienced. Another antacid suspension may even be prescribed for you, but you can't know all these things if you don't go to the hospital. Please don't play with your health.

There is no education here. How are you sure they wont even close their embassies in Nigeria due to terrorism.

Nobody is investing a dime in that place. Any realest investment that you dont get your capital in 20 years is a failed investment.
Real estate is a long time investment. Do you know how long it took Lagos to get to where it is now as the commercial capital of Nigeria despite Abuja being the geographic capital. Meanwhile, those Obi supporters are among the biggest beneficiaries of Lagos business environment and still in the Atlantic City when completed. But they are busy abusing Tinubu now because of politics. Can they do such in the North? Can they abuse Atiku in the North the way they are attacking Tinubu in Lagos? Why can't they ask Obi to create their own Lagos without agbero they use to deride Tinubu? I am more determined now to support and vote Tinubu because of the bullying and illiterate attitude of Obis supporters. What is the difference between them and the Lagos agberos they deride Tinubu for except that they are online cyber agberos. Those agberos are even better behaved. Indeed Tinubu is a visioneer.

The area is a prime area and not for the poor

it is for HNI ( High net worth individuals)

So by implication, Tinubu only cares for High Net Worth Individuals while the poor can go to hell?

Stop posting shiitt . Eko Atlantic City is not yet complete. This is a city within a city and will take years to complete. It is work in progress.
You think they are building bungalows there?

Stop exposing ignorance about real estate

We still need two years for the sea wall, one year after that for the sand-filling and another year to 18 months for the infrastructure, so say another five years to be fully operational with infrastructure,” with the first half already complete, said 69-year-old Chagoury, whose company is in charge of the basic infrastructure such as roads. Developers will erect most buildings, and the wider project could take up to 35 years, he said. The sea wall will be 8.5 kilometers (5.3 miles) long once completed.

As for the price, not 5 % of Americans can live in Hollywood
Not 5% of South Africans can live in Sandton

You are not the target market. Find ur level and shut up

The problem with the project is that its ahead of the countries economy, countries with such visions have the right atmosphere to make it reallable, Nigeria is a developing nation that alone has ruled out success off the project from the go,besides that poor marketing,besides the idea of a modern city what else are they marketing? What are the physical, psychological and senual benefits of living there?any research carried out about the aquatic wonders living within the proposed city?do they have a scuba aquarium under water close to the city which show cases rare species that are only available in these waters?sometimes its not just about an idea,it's about the ideas which drives the idea.also you are right about the project, yet I don't think this has anything to do with tinubus Idea or concept of leadership towards Nigeria, tho I'm no fan of his.

Eko Atlantic is already a success story. Buildings are going up there as we speak. The Americans just put in half a billion there to build one their largest embassies in the world.
The success is ongoing. Slow, but ongoing.

Failed project indeed. I guess the fear of failure is the reason Obi didn't do anything anyone can point to in Anambra.

cheesy,. Hmmm,. I won't call you a liar, cause obviously I don't know you personally, buh you and I know that's not true..grin, I mean the likelihood a lagosian would be able to afford a plot there is about 1 outta 10.. as we all know it costs a shed load of money to buy one,. Except of course you have got shed loads of money,. which in itself is really embarrassing for a so called mega city, if it wasn't embarrassing before for the Lagos State Government,. Is sure as hell is now.. grin tongue
Come-on, let's be honest,. there's no point in sugarcoating it anymore, and there's no more room for excuses or grandiose promises,. I know you can't help but feel the pang of regret,. But it's been more than 13 years of traumatic anguish for investors and fans of the project like yourself,
But let it be known that, Eko Atlantic City project is dead, buried and forgotten,. With nothing to show for it,. Just a few uncompleted buildings scattered here and there, grin

No investor would put down money he doesn't hope to see returns in his life time. If the investors behind Eko Atlantic were looking at 70 years as you claim, they would never have put down their money. Also, the American consul would not occupy the entire landmass. Clearly, Eko Atlantic is not a hot property. It's too pricy for the environment.
Why would I want to spend so much to buy an apartment in Lagos when I can buy in Rabat, Prague, and Lisbon.
Eko Atlantic many not be the first choice for global billionaires.
Is the project a failure? Too early to say. But it is clearly very ambitious.

Don't mind him

Someone will carry his money and invest it in a seventy years business plan

I don't know if this would help. But a friend of mine did his final year project and found out that ulcers in albino rats can be cured with mushrooms. The good ones not those poisonous ones. The project turned out to be successful. I hope this information turns out to be useful for you, amen.
But you can go to the clinic for proper treatment if the above doesn't sit well with you.

Most of you don't know anything about politics and policy making...there are immediate, intermediate and strategic policing/plan.The Eko Atlantic is a strategic plan that can even take up to 70 years to actualize..it's known that the Eko Atlantic will house the biggest American consul office, already it has the Azzura building which nobody in your family can live in ( Sorry, but it's the truth)...just like Ibeju FZ it has not even reach its expected plan yet... Shey you get am now, Nnewi man??
Upto 70years...?? so from your write up, it means the investors are currently teenagers or in there early twenties or rather let us say they are developing the project for there generation...!! Atleast if you must defend something, do that while applying logic....The primary aim of any businessman/Investor is to maximize profit...!! Any other thing are grammars...

Who cares about Africas embassy? So An American or African will invest over a million dollar to live close to an Embassy in Nigeria? grin grin grin

Was the city built for imigration? Will Africans from other countries now apply for US visa from there?

Will the embassy increase number of people given visa, with lowered standard of living?

Embassy means nothing.

The pictures you pasted do not support what you said. They don't look functional. Two buildings in 13 years, no other buildings around the environment in 13 years, the streets look empty with no cars or people around. It looks like a ghost town.

Those structures are put up by African agencies that used the project to loot funds. All these Africa data center etc that are mainly funded by donor agencies.

No reasonable person in this unstable APC administration will choose lagos state Nigeria for such investment in 2022. Those that bought there are trapped.

Unless an administration comes in that will boost investors confidence, nobody will put up any structure there.

FDI to Nigeria is lowering by the day, so who will build the city?

Unfortunately, its only obi administration that will boost investors confidence in Nigeria.

If Nigeria remains the same, in the next 20 years, that place will remain the same.

Oh!

So the poor are good at working for the rich in an environment they will never afford in their lifetime?

Instead of initiating projects that will make the poor to stop being poor, you are justifying Tinubu’s project which only provides avenue for the poor to keep serving the rich who enjoy all the luxuries of life?

It’s like a pastor who establishes an expensive university that most children of his congregation cannot afford to attend and he justifies his action by telling his congregation that the children of the poor can work as cooks, gardeners, etc, in the university.

Is that right in your estimation?
