Some of those projects are not really white elephant but suffered from lack of continuity in the vision of those who initiated them. The Heroes Park Okorocha built in Owerri isn't a bad idea but was discontinued and forcefully halted by his successors because of politics. If a future Governor decides to queue into his idea then that place will be a beehive of activities as he dreamed. Wike built Pleasure Park based on Okorocha's dream of Heroes Park.

Tinapa built by Donald Duke also turned White Elephant because his successors refused to key into his vision and FG further flattened it by the neglect of the Itu-Odukpani highway.

■ That's the primary reason for eko Atlantic.....novice.
To you it's nonsense but for the inhabitants of Lagos state, it was the solution for protecting their ancestral land and billion dollars worth of investments from submerging under the sea. Do you understand?

You actually believe that nonsense reasoning that was fed you? You no know book abi wetin?

What you just said is akin to saying that NewYork city —downtown— was built to stop erosion from reaching the mainland. Only someone with holes in the brain would swallow that nonsense.

Kaduna Dry Port.

That's Kaduna up there. That's the coast down there.

Guy u funny die oh. Snow white witch will sue you for changing her original line oh... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Xxxxtentacion2:
forget erosion lets talk business... how much has eko atlantic generated in terms of profits for its investors its more than ten years now they should be profits...

First of all, it has saved billions of dollars worth of investments from going comatose as a result of sea encroachment. That's the first profit.

The second profit is the sales of lands to multimillion dollar companies, United state of America embassy, etc in billions of naira.

SweetVibe:

You are a thief.
You went to Twitter to steal David Hundeyin post; words for words, photos for photos without even acknowledging him.
This was low from you.

Thank you.
Something David tweeted in 2020 and retweeted is what he just copied with referencing the author.

Xxxxtentacion2:
call me all kinds of names but the truth is clear... eko atlantic is a white elephant project that does not benefit the poor masses in any way... carry pen and paper sit down and reason write five ways you can benefit as a citizen from eko atlantic lets see how many points you can write... dont lie to yourself we know in the next twenty years to come you will never be able to afford any house in eko atlantic .... 3million per year how much is your current house rent ?

You are dull bro,must every project be for the masses?
Did the owner of Eko Atlantic claimed they are building it for the masses?
Most of you will just come online and yarn rubbish.

Guy your vawulence is national looks like pure applied international vawulence.... I just dey 🤣😂🤣😁😂🙂🤣😁🙂😂😭🤭🥵🥶😎😂

Well he isn't the writer. The OPs post is culled from David Hundeyin's 2020 twitter post.

OMGosh! A whole Airport in the middle of a state that had been ranked as having the highest percentage of multi-dimensionally poor children in the nation, at 73.9 percent.

O gosh, OP has a wicked sense of humour 🤣🤣🤣

Calabar x2 - Summit Hills Convention Centre

OP, nice thread. Can you replicate this whole thread on Twitter and post the link here for us? I want it to have international coverage.

I was not fed, I saw it with my eyes. Bar beach is where you have Eko Atlantic city now. It was where fun loving Nigerians go for fun doing holidays and on Fridays before beaches along Lekki axis were easily accessible.

But the encroachment of the sea covered the whole bar beach until IMB plaza. Infact, destroyed the building at some point.

Do you understand. Olodo

Ttalk:


If you don't have any meaningful contribution just rest. Eko Atlantic is not an elephant project. It is only a failed project or a project that doesn't add value to society can be classified in that category of elephant project.

However, leaving Obi Mono rail to criticise Eko Atlantic is suspicious and grossly unfair

you can add obi mono rail that is your business...
people like you will never be able to afford any house in eko atlantic instead of facing and accepting reality you will be defending failure up and down...
over ten years now apart from beauty what other value has it added to lagos

OP mentioned Ebonyi, Imo and Abia State. Or did those states stop being igbo without telling anyone?

MTNnews:
Hate will not kill you igbos.
To the well meaning Nigerians that think Igbos 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.

The Eko Atlantic you badmouth tomorrow igbos will claim they built it that is how low a despicable pig like the OP can go.

How dare you bring Tribalism to this?..
how much this politicians pay you?..

SE projects aren't there?..

Varunpulyani:
Kaduna Refinery.

Step 1: Locate refinery far inland, 850KM away from nearest oil producing area and lay 2,000KM of pipeline that will cause environmental devastation.

Step 2: Configure refinery not to specialise in Nigeria's Bonny Light crude.

Step 3: Profit!

They had to import crude for kadunna refinery

who did they build it for

tollyboy5:

Why not you go there and snap some pictures. As far as I'm concerned it's as good as empty.

I do not owe you any picture. Construction of US consulate and other construction is going on in Eko Atlantic as we speak. Go there and see things yourself.

The OP uploaded an old pic claiming nothing is happening in Eko Atlantic city, tell him to also upload the latest pic from Eko Atlantic city

Stop derailing a beautiful thread bigot. With the was we are paying loans with subsidy removal, it is time a cyber-prophet arises and condemns any white-elephant project not generating meaningful revenue or any that's not within the financial reach of the middle-class.

Nairaland does not move the posts of David much the op did good by constructing it that way, I you check Davids post about eko Atlantic he did not specify it very well for people to see but the op did that

Price the land from eko Atlantic developers. Then you will have understanding of how much American embassy and other investors both the land.
