Pripyat, Ukraine.



The city of Pripyat was established in Ukraine, close to the border of Belarus on Feb. 4th 1970 as a Soviet nuclear city.

It was a residential to the workers who worked in the nearby Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

But in 1986, the nuclear power plant faced a disaster, more popularly known as the Chernobyl Disaster of 1986, which led to the evacuation of the entire city.

Priypat, thus, remains a radioactive ghost city haunted by the nightmares of that dreadful night.
I cant remember which game featured this location. Either call of duty or medal of Honor.. Can someone pls remind me?

Explorers:
Poveglia Island, Italy.




Poveglia was constructed on a permanent fortification built by the Venetian government, and from 1793 - 1814 was used as a plague quarantine station, or“lazaretto” one of many in the Venetian lagoon.

The tiny island is said to have hosted over 160,000 infected souls living out their final days and hours on the Island.

50 percent of the soil consists of human remains.

Recently, mass graves have been found on the nearby islands containing the remains of thousands of plague victims.

Poveglia has yet to be fully investigated.

that land will be wonderful for agriculture .

Unoccupied Irish Homes, Ireland.


At first glance, this looks like a nice and quiet neighborhood that any family would love to live in.

When you look a bit closer, you’ll see that these houses are not occupied, nor have they ever been.

Ireland has lots of neighborhoods that were built up, but after the housing collapse in 2008, these homes were never sold.

Although no one has ever lived here, it is creepy to walk these empty streets.
Abeg gimme the exact location of these houses make I go acquire the C of O of 10 of them. Na run I dey run comot from Naija so o grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Abandoned mall in Bangkok, Thailand filled with Tilapia.



A mall in Thailand that used to be awash with shoppers is now teeming with fish after the abandoned building was flooded.

The New World Mall, in Bangkok, was closed in 1997 after it was found to have breached building regulations, before a fire in 1999 left it without a roof.

Rainwater slowly filled the building with water, causing a major mosquito problem in the community.

In an effort to rid themselves of the pests, the locals introduced freshwater talapia fish to eat the insects.

The can be seen in hundreds.
if it were in Nigeria, those fish would have been long gone.

A Graveyard of Abandoned Airliners at Benin City Airport, Nigeria.




hese photographs, captured at Benin City Airport in 2005 and 2010 respectively, are a good example of those scenes.

In past decades, Nigeria’s airports have become the final resting places for passenger aircraft whose operators have gone out of business for a variety of reasons, or simply put them out to pasture.

These images reveal the former Okada Air fleet of Boeing 727s and BAC-One Eleven 300s.

In one image, 17 of the 18 BAC-111s acquired by the Benin City-based airline can be seen rotting away in a neglected corner of the commercial airport.

With them is a larger, US-built 727, lingering on in an equally poor state of repair.

Igbenedion who set up this airline business abandoned it and built the first private university in Nigeria.

I wonder why he couldn't maintain this line of business tho. See waste of aircraft! cry

Hashima Island, Japan



This place was once an island that was filled with coal, home to 5,000 workers.

Once all the coal had been extracted, there was no more use for the island.

Today the island lays barren, nothing more than an eerie place filled with a glimpse of what was once there and shadows.

Need to acquire this island soon

Federal Secretariat Ikoyi, Lagos Nigeria



The old federal secretariat, Ikoyi was before its abandonment a power house for deliberation and implementation of issues that concerned the development of the country.

It was an administrative complex built by the Yakubu Gowon led administration to cater for the administrative need of the country.

When the capital was moved to Abuja, it was left to rot.

Now it houses rodents, reptiles and hoodlums who take advantage of the derelict and overgrown compound to perpetuate illegal activities.

Kolmanskop, Namibia.



Kolmanskop was a very small settlement in Namibia that suddenly grew and flourished in the early 1900s when German settlers found the area to be booming with diamonds.

But, eventually, the craze for wealth gave out after World War I when the diamond fields began to deplete.

By the 1950s, the town was completely deserted, and is now visited only by photographers and tourists.

Mehn, person fit still find some diamond here o.

Japan is not densely populated. Japan is experiencing a declining population. Birth rate is low and the number of old folks higher than younger ones.

Federal Secretariat Ikoyi, Lagos Nigeria is currently a ghost of itself... shocked

Trees of all shapes and sizes seem to be competing for height with the abandoned 15-storey tower buildings which was once the heartbeat of the nation and the structure that gave Ikoyi its elitist tag. The Federal Secretariat, Ikoyi, Lagos home of Nigeria’s federal civil service when Lagos was a federal capital territory, majestically stands as a monument of waste.
