What happened to konza technology city? After all these years... only one building in construction

rvp2017:
Lekki deep sea port -- yeah long overdue - considering for the "giant" - our Mombasa port [The fourth busiest port in Africa] throughput is equal to all current Nigeria ports combined. And in Kenya we are building another port - deep sea port in LAMU - which combined with roads and ralways is 20B USD plus investments.As for Cententary city - that is DEAD ON ARRIVAL. At least EKO city 10 yrs later is desolate lonely place with one skyscrapper - but the Abuja centenary was dead ab initio.

Quick comparison of LAMU deep sea port and Lekki deep sea port - LAMU will have depth of 18meters - Lekki have seen 16.5-19m - and 3 berths of LAMU are nearly ready.

There’s currently 9 scrapers in Eko Atlantic. Some finished, some in construction. And more are coming. Centenary city started 2014/2015... so no comparison to eko Atlantic.

U forget the three other deep seaports coming up across the country... Badagry deep seaport, Bakassi deep sea port, and Ibaka deep seaport.

I don’t know why I’m comparing Nigeria to Kenya. Just look at Kenya’s gdp per capita. Yes, Kenya has made some nice progress (kenya is ahead of Nigeria in some affairs)and I wish more for this country. But ultimately Nigeria’s too big to compare at least in the long run.

Currently we’re facing issues, but you must realize once Nigeria gets its governance issues settled... this comparison would have no tangible base

That is exactly like Eko City - albeit by gov - which is why I insist on stuff that have happened - not grandiose lego cities by gov bureaucrats.

85 percent off projects in nigeria have no completion, fooling ourselves suffering and smiling that is how we nigerians are. even in the year 2100 EKO city will not be completed. We Nigerians are now sending are children to other african countries to do prostitution and them fooling are selves thats where the best blacks.

Two Nigerian cities has been named among the world’s worst cities to live in 2018.

Mercer’s 20th annual Quality of Living survey compared 231 major metropolises, examining factors such as crime, healthcare, education, public services, recreation, housing and personal freedom.

According to this years ranking, Bangui, Central African Republic (230) been the lowest ranking African city for quality of living is the worst city to live in Africa. followed by Khartoum, sudan (227), N’Djamena Chad (226), Brazzaville Congo (224) and Kinshasa Democratic Republic of the Congo (223).

Persistent political instability, poverty, extreme climates and lack of appropriate infrastructure investments means the cities above have the lowest quality of living worldwide.

Two Nigeria cities Abuja (213) and Lagos (212) Also made it into the top 20 worst cities to live in Africa.

Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital was ranked 213 out of 231 countries making it the 13th worst city to live in Africa, while Lagos was ranked 212, making it the 14th worst city to live in Africa..

Below are The top 15 worst cities to live in Africa 2018. From least worst (15) to worst (1)

My friend - you're not only BIG - but you also have oil. You control nearly 3% of GLOBAL WORLD OIL. You know what that means. That mean you should be far ahead of anyone in Africa. It really shamefully that Kenya that is mostly a desert (1/3 of it is arable) and has nearly zero minerals can not only be compared with you but also beat Nigeria in most things..where quality not just scale or quantity is concerned.

Right now if the debate what to shift to what is actually on the ground - not planned [ those plans depend on oil price ] - then it obviously that kenya punches way above it's weight.

And yet again we have no oil, no diamond, no gold, no mineral to talk about - with 2/3 of a country semi-arid- just pure hard work and ingenuity. There is a lot kenya can teach Nigeria.Nigeria can probably teach kenya what - maybe cement (dangote is impressive), banking (merging of banks?) and nollywood - and maybe football- that is it.

Precisely. It just about false hope of the future planned visions - which are actually mirages. Nigeria and DRC CONGO are siblings. Kinshasa and Lagos are twin brothers. The potential is huge. The amount of minerals they've got is staggering. But you got mega cities of slums. And the same hopelessness year in year out....

Around 2010- 2015 - I thought Nigeria had turned the corner - alas! only to discover it was the oil prices that had skyrocketed and now everything is back to normal - GDP growth of 1% or -1%.

Don't try to personalize. This is about Lagos and Nigeria - in comparion with - Nairobi and Kenya. Which projects in Lekki?

This is a small state in Nigeria,if I mention lagos,you fall into confusion

ibom deep seaport
International stadium
akwa ibom specialist hospital(one of the best in Africa,if not the best)
syringe manufacturing company and largest in Africa

Are all these under construction or completed or planned. Let start from there. And please omit the e-library one . Quick google search - they are planned. Okay please I can bore you to death with kenyan planned projects - at even more advanced stage - but let keep this - to things that actually exists.

Nice dream - Kenya has tonnes of those already completed or under construction- but this one piqued my interest -Ensuring of water metering
in Lagos so what is happening now.

You see Lagos can compete with Kinshasasa in DRC Congo..both are 10M plus mega slums..but Nairobi is on another level...and can start dreaming of comparing to Joburg. Give Nairobi 10yrs - and Joburg will start struggling to compete.

Nairaland has thread on Nairobi pictures that should make that self-evident

You seems to be very young in this world, and you think the world revolves around Lagos...

Currently Nairobi has more towers above 20floor than Lagos and Eco combined.. Nairobi at 44 while eco and lagos at 36..
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/#/topics/1775594?page=20
You keep talking about proposed cities and project in Naija as if they are final products. My friend if every African country shows you thesame you will be shoked.

But we are mature enough to know not all will see the light of the day, and patient enough to wait for the execution.

nwoke37:


Nigeria and Somalia's life expectancy are approximately the same at around 55 years(very, very low, especially for Nigeria's status). Now to be fair, South Africa's life expectancy is 57 years(still very low).

Nigeria's low tax yields lead to low, poor services provided by the government. The current government is trying to tackle this problem(though at a later time due to the recession) through the VAIDS program, which is trying to widen the tax net. If more initiatives like this continue even after this present government, Nigeria would be on its way...

Even S.A Interesting currently life expectancy in Kenya is at 67years..

The day Nigeria will tap well it tax revenue is when you will see real change.

. Tall structure in just one part makes the whole of your capital developed, iam laughing at your so called Nairobi.

We don't just build any how, that's why Lagos has the highest no of planned communities in Africa

See this one talking about height when eko Atlantic will have 1,200 high rise buildings,more than the whole of your country.


Pls show me any of your project in the whole of East Africa that is as capital intensive as this

Lekki Deep sea port
Imperial international business city
Lekki smart city
Eko Atlantic city etc

Let me stop here so that Lagos won't create tension here. This is another high rise project going on in Lagos island

You really got jokes. Quick search on the first -Lekki deep sea port - $1.5 billion committed. Are you kidding us? I mean we are talking 25B USD for LAPPSET in Kenya with LAMU port? We are talking 10B USD for Kenya part of SGR - with already nearly 5B USD committed and spent. We are talking about NorthLands City in Nairobi - with 50B USD set to be spent. And we have tonnes more of those planned or under construction..including Tatu City/Konza City within Nairobi..and thousands others.

Eko City has 1 or 2 towers - more than 10 yrs later.

What joke is this - Lekki deep sea port - that you're parroting is mere 500M usd project - I guess when whole budget for the giant is mere 28B USD that is a lot of money. PLEASE SHOW US MEGA PROJECT OF SAY 200B USD - that would really shows how ambitious Nigeria can be? I mean Kenya don't even shout about 500m usd project. That is pocket change.Mombasa port expansion - adding 3 berths - more than 1B dollars has already been spent.

Nigeria has to wake up - pay and collect taxes. I mean the 28B is mostly from oil taxes - and has to be shared by 36 states!! The more I probe - the more I am shocked.

Please take Bill Gates advice seriously - pay taxes - and we may kick polio out - let's not even worry about other stuff for now - LEKKI deep sea port of 1.5BB - what hell is that?

10 yrs later - Eko City just has one lonely skycrapper in the middle of nowhere. What exactly is going on in Nigeria?

Its part of their millenium development goals. 1000years! One sky scraper every ten years

I don't know whether and how the investors plan to do this from their graves afew centuries into the future

If you look closely that one skyscraper is actually 2 skyscrapers with a pool right next to them. The plan is to build 3 more there.the name of the project is eko pearl. In the background there’s 3 residential buildings currently standing and yet to be finished in the eko energy estate.

This isn’t in the picture but the left of eko pearl is another tower called afren tower fully built... it was the first tower in eko Atlantic

This also isn’t in the picture but just to the bottom of the eko pearl project is the azuri peninsula project in the marina district. Currently 3 towers are up and under construction 26 floors each

With the downturn of the economy in 2015/2016/2017 projects that were expected to be done have been stalled. But since the economy picked up since the later half of last yr we should expect more projects to come aboard and start construction

But as u can see the infrastructure is well laid and is still expanding with quality roads, street lighting, underground fiber optic network, 24/7 power, as well as piped water, and top notch underground sewage and drainage network.(Notice how everything will be underground;we won’t have to see ugly power masts with lines/cables above ground. )The typical Nigeria we know of today won’t be present in this city(and other cities under construction). They haven’t finished the reclaiming of land. So expect more land. I don’t even think the land is halfway to what will be there. The water canal is still being worked on and expect water in that circle in the marina district

Keep in mind that this is a private development. The federal government or Lagos government barely has a say or hand in this. Whatever happens is at the whim of private investors

What is LAGOS budget? If federal budget is 28B USD against Kenya 29B USD - trust me if I tell you Lagos budget is probably what? 3B USD - that is not enough to pay teachers salaries I bet.

I just gave you 2017 stats from SA and you are giving me stats from when ? . Update your knowledge, SA is not a stagnant country. We learn from our yesterday and plan for our tomorrow.

Nairobi skyscrappers under development or those approved - are straggering. Don't even think Eko City or Lagos has any chance of getting to Nairobi. If already Nairobi has more skyscrappers - wait for another 5yrs - when we will have more than double that. Nairobi is destined to challenge Joburg and Cairo..for big city. Not mega slum metropolis like Lagos or Kinshasa.

Nairobi is building 70 floor 300m plus skyscraper that will be Africa tallest building by FAR. And that is not all...

I based all my stats on 2015... the one that appeared first on google... but yea huge HIV issue in South Africa same as Botswana. Hopefully they’re tackled especially for a small country like Botswana with a small workforce.
