https://www.ekoatlantic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/5.jpg Eko Atlantic Lays Road Surface for Major City Bridge The developers of Eko Atlantic have achieved another important landmark by casting in concrete and putting into position the road surface or decking for Bridge 7 on Avenue 1 in the new city. Bridge 7, as it is currently referred to in the Master Plan, is the first out of a total of 10 bridge locations in Phase 1 & 2 of the project and has now reached the most advanced stage of all of them. The bridge is located immediately to the west of the Central Business District and in total is 6 lanes wide (3 lanes in each direction). |

pazienza:Ok go back and re-read in the context I wrote it. I said we keep making it attractive. We're taking about Eko Atlantic in this thread. Whatever the British did back then is not what is making them develop Eko Atlantic. The truth is no matter how Igbos try to stay away from Lagos they won't be able to resist being a part of this initiative which was proposed by two Yoruba men.. Fashola and Tinubu, like it or not. |

The British did not develop Lagos with British money. In 1896 there were street lights and a telephone exchange and a trainline in Lagos. Did this come about by a net transfer of Funds from elsewhere in the British empire? The answer is a RESOUNDING NO. The money came from , yes you guessed right, Lagos Lagos's main value to the British and its main value to this day is it provides the easiest and cheapest coastal access to Nigeria.Travel the west African coast from Ghana to Nigeria they are at the same latitude and quite similar after Lagos our coast line takes a sharp southward turn and the terrain changes to mangrove swamp hostile to large vessels. The cheapest way then to trade with Nigeria was through Lagos Not through Ogun ,Ondo,Delta ,Bayelsa Akwa Ibom Rivers or Cross River Rather than sounding off about how the British developed Lagos and moved their capital there the question should be WHY DID THEY DO THIS. Why did the British not develop Calabar or Aba or Mbaise? But Why? Why do we put food in the mouth and not the anus?? In 1896 Lagos had an official balance of trade with the UK of about £200 000 which in today's money is about £20 million. At the Time the population was 38000. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/bills/article-1633409/Historic-inflation-calculator-value-money-changed-1900.html |

This was the state of play in 1896 http://libsysdigi.library.illinois.edu/ilharvest/Africana/Books2011-05/3064634/3064634_1898_lagos/3064634_1898_lagos_opt.pdf

jimi4us:Dude you call people morons without knowing what you're saying. The idea came from Tinubu to build a wall to prevent flooding, then it was Fashola that came up with the idea of building a city. It could have been a private company that advised them in how to go about it but the idea came from those two great visionaries, take it or leave it. Why use govt money when some private companies are willing and able to carry it out effectively and successfully |

| Re: Our Lagos Eko Atlantic (graphic View by mrmetoo1: 3:28pm On Apr 08, 2015 |
jimi4us:They're a development company. They're the ones developing it but it was a LASG idea borne out of solving the flooding problems. Those "Lebanese" brothers won't have been able to do it without the vision of the LASG |
