Still wondering why a refinery was placed in kaduna

Because politics and tribalism is more important to Nigerian politician than viability, common sense, and sustenanability of projects

The construction of US consulate is not a new information. The economic benefit of the billions spent on eko atlantic city has giving lagos zero or no value as at today when other important project like monorails and 4rth mainland bridge are either been slowed down or postponed.

What else do we call a white elephant project?
Mumu, na lagos state government dey construct am ni??

A private developer decided to invest his own money on a real estate, how is that a white elephant project to you?

The mumu op is even mentioning TINUBU.

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
What do they use then if there is a working rail service shocked is it too expensive?

U are just a stupid and foolish tribal bigot.

1..... So automatically he is from Southeast because he talked about an abandon in Lagos

2.... He mentioned more state in the Southeast, than the Southwest.

I dont understand how the topic relates to Igbos, can you kindly explain how a chronology of places the author termed as white elephant projects now relates to Igbos having hatred? There is this general feeling of paronia about igbos, every topic in NL ends up an opportunity to insult or attack igbos no matter how the topic is unrelated to anything deserving of attacking anyone. You guys need to see psychologists to understand how you guys can harbour such animosity for certain people you share a country with and wouldn't mind going to war to resist them from leaving the country for you to exist and prosper alone.
Its time other geniuse Nigerians that believe in a united and prosperous one Nigeria to begin to speak up against these seeming coordinated racial attacks on the igbos.

Go to South Africa go to Egypt nd so so many standard stadiums here in Africa
Sense is hard for you. It is still a white elephant project and won't repay its cost in 100 years. We have Lagos, Abuja, PH and other stadia on ground. Though the standard was high and it was quite modern, it is still a white elephant project.

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.

What's glaring is that, one Nigeria may work in 1960 to year 2000. Certainly if this country must progress very fast, igbo have to own and allow to take there so must desire Biafra land and go.i don't think we the current generation can take half of what our ancestors took. This tribe are very toxic and stupid. This post clearly show huge bigotry from begin to the end!. I pity those who think igbos have interest in pushing this country forward.



Varunpulyani:
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.

This is easily and hands down the most beautiful and educative thread I have seen on Nairaland in recent times...!


I encourage more of such threads across all social media channels including the international stage...!

This is what I expect our journalists to be doing instead of being partisan and idiotic cowards.

Your useless leaders are wasting funds that are clearly not even available to begin with.


I mean... How the hell do you take massive loans just to erect edifices that add absolutely nothing to the economy of a state or nation??! Why?!!

Your reasoning is poor and it's stupid to flaunt it.

Your whole argument about the viability of Eko Atlantic depicts hatred.

Eko Atlantic hosted the 2023 NBA annual conference and you are asking about economic importance. Do you know the number of Nigerians that would work and earn a living when the US Embassy there is fully operational, was it only the rich that were privileged to work there?

What about the tax the government would generate and later channel back to to develop the state?

story story story... oga you be tortoise ? would, would, would, future imaginative when will eko atlantic start generating revenue and profits for the investors ? over ten years now yet nothing... its crazy how you guys support senseless rubbish all the time be rational in your thinking for once

Every state actually does need an airport, if I want to go to Ebonyi from say - Kaduna, I don't want to stop in Enugu then take a bus. The problem is that this scenario currently does not happen, so building airports in every state is stupid.
