Giant of Africa that's using 5.8billion dollars to construct a damn that will only generate 3050 megawatt of electricity.

At this time of life, a whole country of about 200 million doesn't even have up to 10,000 megawatt of electricity.
South Africa HAS 10X what we can boast of... China has more than 10X10X10 of that...

IS THIS COUNTRY CURSED?


THAT MONEY CAN BE USED TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT WILL GENERATE 30,000 MEGAWATT!!! WHICH IS 10X.

Most of the pictures are "computer aided", why?

Crispels:


That's not true. Have you ever seen any county that constructed a 30,000 MW power station with less than 6billion dollars? None!

RuudVanNisteroy:

All the greedy vultures in GEJ government cornered and shared all the land among themselves. Just like they did with the PHCN discos.

The second the projects takes off they will all become billionaires in dollars.

U have no good point here. What have you also contribute to the development of this country?
We all know that corruption is everywhere which affect countries but I believe you can see with ur eyes and hear with ur ears how people in power in this country embezzle money and go to other countries to establish amd develop the place.
Is Nigeria not better than UAE some years back? Look at there commitment and strong cooperation that makes dem develop the place. Are you telling me they are richer than your country? Use common sense bro
Now tell me, how will this country develop?

They will be DAFT to separate because of a perceived skewed representation in projects. Where are their proposals? Bring out your proposal and studies for a project that would make sense, and a state govt can even override the FG and do it with external funding in PPP arrangements, like Lagos does in many cases.

Also, eastern representation on the list is not insignificant. The Onne port is a game changer, as will be the (unlisted) Onitsha port expansion. So also will be the Lagos- Calabar rail line costing 11 billion dollars, and of course, the 2nd Niger bridge. These are huge projects.

Dangote Refinery - 12 billion dollars





Dangote refinery is one of the largest construction projects in Nigeria. It is a 650,000 barrels per day (bpd) integrated refinery and petrochemical project under construction in the Lekki Free Zone near Lagos, Nigeria. It is expected to be the Africa’s biggest oil refinery and the world’s biggest single-train facility, upon completion in 2020.

Dangote Oil Refinery, a company owned by the Nigeria-based Dangote Group, is developing the project with an estimated investment of $12bn.

The Dangote refinery will process a variety of light and medium grades of crude to produce Euro-V quality clean fuels including gasoline and diesel as well as jet fuel and polypropylene.

The integrated refinery and petrochemical project is expected to generate 9,500 direct and 25,000 indirect jobs.




Port of Onne Complex - $2.7 billion





The Port of Onne Complex contains two major terminals: the Federal Ocean Terminal and the Federal Lighter Terminal. The Federal Ocean Terminal has 750 meters of quay and three births. Work is underway that will bring the total length to 1500 meters and the number of berths to six.

The Federal Lighter Terminal has 1670 meters and four berths operated by Intels. The berths have been repaired and deepened to eight meters to accommodate some larger vessels.

The Port of Onne is an Oil and Gas Free Zone by Federal decree. Today, over 110 companies operate in the zone that have made significant contributions to Nigeria’s economy through their businesses of pipe-coating, selling pipes, treating waste, and building boats as well as other activities. The port is expected to cost $2.7 billion to construct.


Lagos – Badagry Expressway Expansion Project[ - $1.9 billion

Extensive reconstruction of the Lagos portion of the expressway began in 2010.When those renovations are completed the Lagos portion of the expressway will be widened from four lanes to ten lanes for road vehicles and a new mass transit line will operate in the median. Two of the expressway’s lanes are intended to be exclusively used by the Lagos Bus Rapid Transit System. Construction work is expected to cost $1.9 billion.


Lagos – Ibadan Railway Project - $1.53 billion

Lagos – Ibadan Railway Modernisation Project is a section of the greater Lagos–Kano Standard Gauge Railway.



A $1.53 billion contract was awarded in 2012 to the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation for construction of the Lagos–Ibadan segment (156 km) of the standard gauge railway by 2016. However, the project has also faced delays.

A ground-breaking ceremony finally took place on 7 March 2017, and the railway is scheduled for completion in December 2020. Set to cost $1.5 billion, the Lagos – Ibadan Railway Modernisation Project is among the largest construction projects in Nigeria.

4th Mainland Bridge, Lagos - 2 billion dollars




2nd Niger Bridge, Onitsha - 700 million dollars

EXOUSIAng:

And how old are those countries compared to Nigeria...
I know we can be better, but it is complete stupidity that makes you people compare Nigeria to France, Spain, UK, US etc this countries are more than 500years older than Nigeria with exception of US....
Is Nigeria Economy not better than that of Egypt and Ethiopia, countries that were already civilized more than 4000years ago?
Have you ever checked your history books to see what this countries went through to arrive where they are today...
There is nothing wrong with aiming high but it is common sense to be very rational in your comparison.....
YOU, WHAT HAVE YOU CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS COUNTRY APART FROM SITTING YOUR ASS DOWN AND COMPLAINING

Your argument is faulty. There are indices that guide Developmental ambitions.

1. Population: when NIgeria became independent in 1960, we were 30m people. 56 years later, we are 206 (NPC) people. That is about 650% increase. Staggery! The UK in the same period was about 20m. Now UK is about 50m (250%).

2. PCGDP: the per Capital GDP is a tool used to measure value of each individual in a country. NIgeria has PCGDP of $2,200. The UK has over $60,000. Our population is growing at about 3.5%. For NIgeria to have PCGDP of ($22,000), still 3x lesser than the UK's, our population needs to be 20m. That is, consistent birth control for many decades. OR we grow our economy to around $5 trillion ((about 11x it's currently value) while holding population at fairly constant rate.

3. Fallacy: time is not equivalent to development. China has been existing for thousands of years, yet they were miserable. She became independent in the 1940s (about 10 years ahead of NIgeria). In about 70 years, she has done what it took countries like UK and US 200+ years to do. UAE, Hong Kong are another examples. Liberia is over 100 year old, yet still among the most miserable countries in the world.


I don't want to continue. But just know this, if NIgeria continues like this (double digits inflation, 3.5% birth rate, 2 5% agricultural production rate, mono economy etc), by 2100, we would be first or second most populous country in world with the most miserable number of people. Of course, we have the highest number of poor people in the world currently.


Remember.
$5trn economy at 206m===$24,000 per Capital GDP (which is still averagely low among developed countries.

OR

cut your population to 20m.

You're just one bitter-funny fellow.
The resources being extracted from the South-South is being colonized by the north, the few crumps that is sent in is being devoured by a few elites parading themselves as Governors, traditional rulers, Board members of NDDC etc. and your concern is that Akwa Ibomites would be angry that Rivers state has more projects than Akwa Ibom.
I've been reading about the divide and rule tactic... Now I know it is really working.
