Eko Atlantic - A City In The Making

[@dutchdigger1996]

So glad to see lagos transforming, much love to the people of nigeria

[@StorylandNigeria]

Sometimes, we just have to start afresh. The mere fact to conceive and comprehend the magnitude of claiming and reclaiming land to build a new Lagos is simply phenomenal. This will put us on the map of world tourism.. Eko o le baje oo!

[@Etnconnect]

I believe this will be a major milestone of our future. Our future is bright hopeful and secure. My leaders pls stay focused.

[@olaniyangeorge8990]

[@MajorrBison]

a future with boko haram doing whatever they want in most parts of the north is a terrible future, lagos and the surrounding states will suffer from in flux of migrants from the north and that is not looking good.

[@Super4la]

And that my friends is how to build a city. Simply amazing

[@nikodzepina2876]

😅😅

[@gvicman]

HISTORY IN THE MAKING IN AFRICA.,I'M GLAD THIS IS HAPPENING IN NIGERIA.ABOVE ALL THE DIFFICULTIES IN THE COUNTRY.I THINK LAGOSIANS DESERVES THIS AND MANY MORE.THE FUTURE OF LAGOS STARTS FROM HERE.!!!!

[@RandomMZ1412]

Stupid project or not, this is good for the country. Its an indication that the world can no longer ignore the potentials of Nigeria. Nigeria + corruption will be a trillion dollar economy within the next 5 years. (So imagine what will happen without corruption). Nobody will ignore that. Ambitious projects like this will eventually spill over. Even if it will be occupied by foreigners mostly, it is still a part of Nigeria. You have to get Nigerian Visa to get there. So instead of complaining, we should consider this as an eye opener for future projects. Follow me and say NAIJA MUST RISE!

[@cyrusforever13]

You want to know something. Cool they are bluilding these in other countries. Like kenya ghana Angola and many more

[@saraman1231]

cyrus live Really ? Last time I check there was no such undertaking in Ghana or Angola just to name a few in your contention, let alone the so-called many more you do not mention. There surely is an important technology center project in Kenya, not an entire city of this magnitude. In Angola Chinese built a town (a ghost one, because not really inhabited) but nothing in comparison to the Eko Atlantic city project. Stop trying to minimize the importance of, or bring down what others are doing. I am not Nigerian but as an African, I am impressed by the magnitude and proud of this undertaking.

Mofax Zulu this is Zulu xenophobic speech

[@bryanjosiah6175]

the ideal of building a fabulous city in lagos is a nice one. lagos should be noted as a strong city not only the in the africa continent, but also an important city to the whole world just like new york, dubai, istanbul, tokyo etc. i want my country to rise. thats's what africans need

[@EuroAfricaMediaNet]

A great project indeed - but like all projects in African countries we tend to look at the positive side mostly and forget to consider most pertinent issues which could totally rock such a great project. QUESTION 1 "Which measures have been taken to take care of the effect/power of the surging Ocean Water Level Rising as a result of the Earth Warming and consequent melting of the polar ice in the next 50 to 100 years ahead? We all know today, that all scientific evidences say this will surely happen - the question is not when but only how? So with this in mind, the CONSIDERATION of the issues raised in "MY QUESTION 1" are very fundamental for the survival and usefulness of of this giant project for Nigeria, hence this will again in the future as we all know, join the long lists of derailed "elephant projects" like National Theatre, Festac Town, National Trade Fair Complex etc which we are all witnesses to their state today, in terms of maintenance and infrastructure.

[@gvicman]

THE PANORAMIC VIEW TO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN HAS ONLY ONE DESCRIPTION..(DYNA-MITE),THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE PARADISE ON EARTH WITHIN A FEW YEARS TO COME.I COULD IMAGEN SOMEONE LIVING ON A 20TH FLOOR OF AN EDIFICE AT THIS END U'LL NEVER NEED AN A/C TO SLEEP AT NIGHT AND IT WILL BE FUN TO HAVE ALL THE WINDOWS OPEN FOR THE OCEAN BREEZE TO BLOW YOUR MIND AWAY.

[@MultiCoolboy112]

my future city, sooooooooooo coooooooooooool :D

[@1wharfboy]

MAY GOD BLESS AND ANOINT THIS ENDEAVOR IN JESUS CHRIST NAME AMEN.

[@MajorrBison]

amen but its nigerian money not the governors personal money!

[@wizzo2dhizzo]

well done really impressive. question for admin whys there almost no contractors on the ground working it looks deserted?

[@arresteddevelopment2158]

IF only they builders could extend the basic infrastructure to the rest of old Lagos esp in terms of building sewerages, storm drainages and roads, it would really be great. Ignoring old Lagos and just building a new city from scratch won't completely solve the problem of overpopulation.

[@michaelkeshi7359]

Eko Atlantic City (Lagos, Nigeria): Eko marina boulevard is like Oak Street Beach

[@makizee6.023]

I'm just wondering,aw about the canals and water ways in the city, seems they would b dredged after the whole place must hv bn sand filled...right?

[@TheDetoxRevolution]

The roads in the city are raised through sand filling (up to 9 m in some parts) in order to allow for basement parking without having to dig or touching the water levels. The canal area is already below the road levels with bridges underway to connect roads on both sides of the canal. Therefore no need for extra dredging for the canal

[@laolu2007]

the new lagos is here

[@preciousq]

the music Please ? anyone

[@Freeworldhiphop]

Update please!

[@divinest]

how would trees grow on sand

[@kcking23]

Lagos is considered the NY of Africa right? So would this be manhattan of Lagos and another question why are they building this new part of the city?

[@ThaDreamer18]

It all started as an effort to reclaim the land lost to the sea by erosion on Lagos' 'Bar Beach' over about a century. Erosion, and with it, flooding were beginning to pose a threat to one of Lagos' most preeminent commercial, cultural and residential hubs, Victoria Island. Therefore, the land reclamation and building of 'The Great Wall' which is a sea defense barrier, were efforts to protect 'the Island' (Victoria Island or VI) - as we affectionately call it. And I just suppose that someone had the brilliant idea to develop this into a real estate opportunity and thus create a new, truly 21st century city out of it and I suppose the rest is history - as they say. For the fact that all of it is privately funded, I can't say I disagree with it's development and perceived prioritisation over other needed infrastructural works and social policy inland. Notwithstanding, I think it is a brilliant idea, and I cannot wait to see it finished

[@f.javierrodriguezorodrigue9352]

Eko Atlantic City vs Fukuoka comparison

[@haruspex1-50]

I like the project but they are going to create a massive gap between the rich and poor. They need to focus on the shanty towns, creating affordable housing with basic things like water and electricity, sanitation and focus on waste management. Lagos has so much waste. This project looks awesome but they need to look at helping the ordinary lagos person first.

[@cosmasmata1503]

porkchops91 it's a private project stop being negative

[@haruspex1-50]

cosmas mata I'm being honest. Stop being naive

[@NaijaLyricsTranslations]

porkchops91 The Lagos governor is working on fixing infrastructure in the poor areas. This is a mostly private project aimed at bringing increased business Lagos which will help to alleviate poverty.

[@naijalolade688]

Haruspex - U re mixing it with goverment projects.. This is run by private body and u dont tell a private body where to invest money... Trust me, they are one of the smartest ppl in any economy...

[@johnolajide5063]

listen I'm a yoruba guy but only thing i don't like about my people is that they like to discriminate about other tribe which not good lagos is for everyone not only yoruba tribe but igbo an other re not minority they are the same like yoruba every tribe come to live in lagos both yoruba. Ibo an other they try to cooperate not to diversity. if you come to Europe or United States they all cooperate that is why their continent look better than Africa pls kindly let Africa change their attitude stop discrimination each other

[@jyde50]

shut up idiot

[@aframaco9491]

Mr Seun Ayodele must live in a land of magic or fantasy, no pun intended, but I dont imagine he has heard the term....little drops of water...form the mighty ocean. Yes Nigeria has many basic problems, the first of which is infrastructure, and another being employment, with this humongous project, these two problems can begin to be attended to.

[@Mikelobi]

he talks as if its his money or government money ( he mentioned white elephant project) only if he knew it is a private endeavor!!

[@aframaco9491]

true....that's Naija people for you....so overwhelmingly obsessed with government.

[@divinest]

first of all, Ban all commercial Motors and okadas
