For those who don't understand the meaning of white elephant.

It just simply means bojo boju. The more you look the less you see .

Of course they are beautiful oh so precious, but the purpose of building it is useless because it will eventually end up in ruins .

First on the list we start with bobo Chicago Dubai.

When you ask the Ronu nomenclatures what did Bola do in Lagos them go dey do erhmm ermmm.

OGA what did he do ? Erhmmmm but he build Eco Atlantic.

Now Eco Atlantic is a white elephant project.

To even start with it's not for the common man , middle class or what you classify as rich .

Only super rich.

To make you understand a rent in eco Atlantic for one of the semi building partially completed is more than 3 million for 1 bedroom flat.

Uncompleted building o.


Lagos - Perennially uncompleted, environmentally unsustainable, hilariously expensive, private-sector-led-but-distinctly-Ajaokuta-esque, Tesco-value Dubai off the coast of Victoria Island.

Looks sexy in its glossy Autocad renders though.

Number 2

Another project make we do am but eyaahh

Abeokuta - Moshood Abiola Hintanashunah Hiyar-poht

Dubai

Number 3 Ado-Ekiti airport

Eyaahh

Number 4 Osogbo - Yet another airport.

Even the render doesn't look optimistic about itself.

Number 5

Asaba - The Dome, Asaba

Because no one can say no to a good convention centre.

Port Harcourt - Amaechi Monorail

So well designed, conceived and executed that he was made federal transport minister by his famously intelligent boss.

Calabar - Calabar Monorail

The double distinction of being the shortest rail line in Nigeria and also the most unviable as it connects one white elephant calf to an adult white bull elephant.

Visionary,

Oh you thought it was only in Lagos abroad The train came first?

Calabar x2 - Summit Hills Convention Centre

The baby white elephant referenced earlier. Only hosts conventions of oxygen and nitrogen molecules in brownian motion.

Calabar x3 - Tinapa Resort.

The O.G. White Bull Elephant. Tourist resort built to someday attract intrepid explorers examining colourful ruins.

Ikot Ekpene - Uncommon Sheraton 4 Points funded by Akwa Ibom SG Amazingly, it's now shuttered.

I love the way you wrote these stuff.
You should make videos about them.
Use this your style o
E go blow

Uyo - (Empty and disused) Nest of Yampions
Located away from town and AKSG has to offer free admission when the Super Eagles are in town. Another Akpabio masterpiece of (white) elephantine proportions.

Owerri - City of Statues

What happens when you pay N500 million for a pregnant white elephant and she gives birth to quadruplets. A Rochas special.

Abakaliki - Ebonyi Airport

A brilliant multibillion naira idea from 'Nigeria's best Governor' where the residents of Nigeria's 4th poorest state with 73.6% living in poverty export their produce by air.

Abakaliki - Ebonyi Ecumenical Centre

A N2.7bn 'ultramodern' investment intended to assist the Holy Spirit to guide Nigeria's Best Govah-nor.

Umuahia - Umuahia International Airport.

A proposed airport that will be close enough to be within the flight approach path of Sam Mbakwe Airport, plus within 150KM of both Akanu Ibiam and the Abakaliki brainwave.

Southeastern aerotropolis....

Junior! Pass me that chair,...

Yes, that one with the blue color. 🤤

You better go to Eko Atlantic and see construction work going on yourself

Varunpulyani:
And after that you will be able to rent it abi

Some of you guys on Nairaland are extremely stupid.

You have never been to Eko Atlantic city, but you claim is a white elephant project. I told you to visit and see the construction work going there... Look at the kind of foolish reply you gave me.

Some of you guys are irritating.

You just love bringing your fraustration online and start lamenting.

Makurdi - Makurdi Cargo Airport

Because Benue needs *another* airport in addition to Tactical Air Command base Makurdi, Nigeria's largest airforce base.

To like, export food, and stuff.

MTNnews:
Hate will not kill you igbos.
To the well meaning Nigerians that think oh os only hate Fulani Hausa Yoruba you can see that Delta n Akwa ibom weren't spared in this clown bigoted criticism.

If I list abandoned project in Igboland I will still be listing till Jesus return but I rather not be consumed with endemic n irredeemable hate like the OP.

Ogun go kpai your pa.

You did not see Igbo states on lockdown he list?

Kano - Kano Light Rail

A commuter railway for Kano's famously corporate and cosmopolitan suburb-to-skyscraper daily commuter population. $1.8bn Chinese loan with assured and guaranteed payback because FAAC allocation is sweet ooo

Op is already listing abandoned projects in igboland. He does not need your help.

You are the one filled with hate.
See as you rushed to vomit your bile.


Bogus projects that meant nothing to the masses, is that one a project?
Wasted resources. Some states are still servicing the debt these empty projects incurred

Gombe - Gombe International Conference Centre

You laugh now, but wait until this edifice has been planted then it germinates into clean water, access to education, economic growth and healthcare. Who'll be laughing then?

There are white elephant projects in every State of the federation. At the federal level, Ajaokuta Steal Company remains the most outstanding.

I didn't know Abia State and Imo State are in South West sef


May God forgive me , I used my geography textbook fee to play bet Nija back in school

Dutse - Dutse International Airport, Jigawaa State.

Mirror, mirror on the wall? Which is the whitest elephant of them all? The one I had to post 4 times to believe it's real.

Recently recorded 0 (ZERO) traffic in a calendar month.

The undisputed champion of this list.

Lafia - Lafia Airport

Nasarawa is next to Abuja and enjoys excellent transport links to the capital, but who ever heard of such a thing as a Nigerian state without an airport...

Abuja - M.K.O. Abiola National Stadium

60,000-seater liability located in Abuja the same way Sagamu is located in Lagos. Even games against Brazil and Argentina couldn't fill it up.

Provides pasture for itinerant cow herders though, which is an important national service.

Abuja - Abuja Metro Rail

$800 million+ loan-funded investment in a commuter rail service for people who do not need, want or ask for it. Empty seats at all hours. Most Abuja residents don't even know it exists.

FAAC allocation is sweet ooo
