You're an idiot - Mombasa port and city is way bigger than the white elephant Abuja. 1.5B for man made lake is crazy. Abuja is not landlocked. Nairobi is not landlocked. Abuja is not a country. You could have spend 1.5B dollars to build express way or rail from Lagos to Abuja - and it would have had a big multiplier effect.

Wonder no more where 600B dollars have gone to - if it's not corruption - then it's very stupid projects like these. The whole Abuja cost I think 30B dollars

for some reason the jabi lake project and he money Nigeria spends seems to give you sleepless nights let me kill you with more pictures


it has a resort
a boat club
a dam
a mall
a cinema
the artificial lake it self

Monumental waste of resources. 1.5B dollars to build a man made lake. That is very crazy and I guess that explain why Nigeria is poor. Another 8B dollars was wasted in a steel plant that has rusted to the ground.

I waste is building a very nice sea port only for it to be given to the Chinese

that is a waste this jabi lake will be connected to the canal / water front at centenary city abuja as you know abuja is a land locked city


and you are not current obviously our steel plant will resume work this year

also a new gold refinery will be built diversify of the economy is happening

check up Gold Coast city and Accra Marin Drive

so what city does Nigeria have Again
because both Abuja and Lagos consistently rank Abysmal

not even a single block has been laid on the Accra marina drive its almost a year since the president of Ghana commissioned it

I was hoping you where going to say Appolonia city the sister city of tatu in Kenya then I would counter you with a picture of an ordinary estate in abuja no big fuss

At the core of the Centenary City stands it's most magnificent center piece, Africa Tower. Set to be the highest of its kind in Africa, the Tower will house 30 floors of Abuja's most luxurious apartments and 46 floors of premium offices.

Infrastructure work progresses in Abuja Centenary City...
Home of soon to be the tallest building in Africa

Construction of vital infrastructure is progressing steadily in the Abuja Centenary City, Nigeria's City of the future, that is also expected to generate over 350,000 jobs on completion.

The Centenary City is a spectacular city hub development by Eagle Hills, a private investment company, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, as part of a joint venture agreement with Centenary City Plc, an initiative by the Government of Nigeria to create the city of the future. Celebrating 100 years of the formation of Nigeria, the milestone development is envisaged as a city within the city, and will add tremendous value to the Nigerian economy.

Spread over 1,300 hectares, Centenary City will be a smart, interconnected, intelligent city of the future, anchored by Africa’s tallest tower – Africa Tower at 308 metres – and the largest retail and entertainment destination, The Mall of Nigeria. The Nigeria Park, spread over nearly 30 hectares, will provide Centenary City the distinct appeal of a green city offering lavish open spaces and aesthetic natural getaways for residents.

The development will have a mixed-use urban centre, a central business district, a financial centre, a museum and cultural centre to promote African and global arts, world-class hotels, business and technology parks, residential districts, an 18-hole golf course, R and D centres, sports and leisure facilities and community amenities. Upon completion, Centenary City will be home to 137,850 residents and an office community of over 87,000 workers apart from over 60,000 workers expected at the Science & Technology Park

It will be recalled that at the last update visit to the Presidency by the Board of Directors of the company, President Mohammed Buhari commended the investors Eagle Hills for the massive investment and their vote of confidence in the dynamism of the Nigerian economy

Mr. Jaimal Shergill, Executive Director (Africa) for Eagle Hills had briefed the President on the progress made so far to bequeath the nation a fitting tribute to Nigeria's 100 years as a united country based on the “Dubai model” as well as the economic benefits of boosting the retail, tourism and hospitality sectors of the economy with over 100,000 construction jobs and 250,000 well-paying jobs in the face of dwindling oil receipts.

In his presentation to Mr. President, Dr. Odenigwe Ike Michaels, Jr., the Managing Director of Centenary City Plc., stated that the Company is a public limited liability company with 40 promoter investors made up of Nigerian and international investors and therefore 100% private sector driven with no iota of government funding.

Dr. Odenigwe also confirmed that following the precedent set by the Eko Atlantic City in Lagos, the Company also successfully applied for free zone status for the Centenary City Project having complied with all extant requirements of NEPZA. Finally, he extended a special invitation to Mr. President to visit the project site in his convenience declare the Sales Center open in due course.

President Buhari had thanked the Board and management for their project update visitation , and praised the Centenary City’s main development partners from the United Arab Emirates for having enough confidence in Nigeria to agree to invest about $18.5 billion in the project. He was optimistic that the skills, expertise and vast experience that would be brought into Nigeria to build the Centenary City on the Dubai model, would also be of immense benefit to Nigeria.

Mr. President further looked forward to regular updates on the Centenary City’s development, reiterated that his Administration would continue to support all genuine foreign investors in Nigeria as the nation makes giant strides in overcoming its enormous financial challenges.

Cinema Culture Thriving as Nigerians Spent Over N600 Million At Cinemas in December

Cinema culture is spreading very quickly among Nigerians and the latest statistics released by the Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria (CEAN) for the month of December 2018 shows us in figures, just how massive it has become.

According to the report on CEAN’s website, Nigerians spent a total of N680 million watching films at cinemas in December. The statistics released covers the period of 14th – 31st December, 2018 which means it represent the latter half of the month.

While this development could be attributed down to the holiday season, the report showed that for the period of 14th to 20th December 2018, the top 20 films in Nigeria made over N155 million.

the good thing about this is not just about cinema culture but that Nigerians have embraced nollywood movies

sufferNsmiling:
I joined them in the 80s and it was a blessing for me I have 4 houses in other african countries. big thanks to your oil money , as I told you we enjoy your oil money in more in other african countries than in your country

this is a typical example of a man who sold his car because he didn't like it and then spends a life time complaining about how bad the car was.... man group up move on



to more important things centenary city first picture south African rangers setting up hiking trails in the safari park at centenary city

second picture a turf farm for those who don't know what it is its also called a sod hybrid grass will be grown there and will be transfered to other parts of the city eg polo field and golf course to achieve its totally green city vision this is q good development grasses from here could even be transfered to stadiums

god bless Nigeria

god bless Nigeria

sufferNsmiling:
Nobody is going to spend the money there. Just see how nigerians are running to other african countries and your mouth will drop. There are more nigerians running to other africa countries dan even to america

those are poor Nigerians and I also beg you to join them

let's reduce the people here abeg

psychologygh:
Forget that bro,they are for gimmicks cos Nigeria is not a five million population.Abuja was created as a paradise for thieves and cast away the hustlers of Lagosians and meaningful masses of Nigeria

let me say this its OK if people that have looted from the government spend it here in Nigeria in building nice structures like residential and office towers no more running to London to buy penthauses and going to Dubai to spend our money

Just look at these projects that way

psychologygh:
Do you guys ever,I mean ever learn.This is crazy,maybe your leaders are the best tricksters or just maybe you guys are the biggest fools.Fool me once,shame on you,fool me twice,shame on me,buh fool me and kill me and starve me and humilate me for sixty years,hmmmm,no comment.Wake up 200 million Nigerians.How frustrated enough do you want to be and being so gullible and accept all these lies whiles they grow fatter and bigger.HMMM

my brother we have seen eko Atlantic we have also seen site being cleared as centenary city is about to begin work the only lies being told here
Are the ones y'all Nigerian haters keep on telling yourself that Nigeria is not developing
Probably cuz it makes you sleep better at night

t1ann:
China has 1 billion people and has ghost cities
Largest middle class but you also have
The largest majority of people living below poverty line
How many people will afford to live in those cities

even in america poor people don't own property in places like that bit the good thing is that when rich people move there and luxury living is at a new standard houses like this in abuja will become cheap and affordable for middle income and poor people

tylann:
It is not my money
But i see them becoming ghost cities if they get finished
How are they financed anyway
How many of those are done or finished

my dear there no such things as ghost cities

I liked one question you asked here is the answer they are PPP project (public private partnership)
as you can see Nigerias Ronald chagoury in lindonnat the real estate forum advertising the eko Atlantic to investors

second picture is that of centenary city staff working hard to bring in more investors

and for the last question cities are not built in a day

tylann:
Nigeria is always building new cities

is it your money?? besides its a welcome idea when people flood all those new ones
.demolition and reconstruction of old ones begin

Also focusing on home produced foods
