Abuja was just a forest, it was built from scratch to what it is today, the military government during the 70s to 80s decided to build a new capital so as to free up Lagos, as it has become too populated and congested.

[@livingforever6157]

@@Nonchalant_248 because NYC is organized. It has working infrastructure. It doesn't have the open sewers or faulty electricity. There are strong lending infrastructures for small businesses and potential homeowners. Domestic big businesses want to invest in the city. International business people want to invest AND reside in NYC. Few of those things are happening in Lagos or Eko. The Nigerian elite wants investors to build eko while disregarding the very people that would make the city viable. Investors have practiced extracting from Nigeria and much of Africa with minimal physical presence. Question, assuming these investors move into eko, where would they go when they get bored? Old Lagos, Centenary City, the dilapidated city of Ibadan, the overcrowded city of Kano, the unsafe areas of the northeast(maiduguri)? The investors have little vision. For the success of Dubai, there are the failures of Forest City Malaysia, and ghost cities in Egypt.

This was built inside the ocean, the land is extra expensive. The water never went down, it was refilled with ocean sand, as that portion of land was taken over by the ocean over years. But the sea shore is taking over a lot of other parts beside this city. You need to be on a different scale to get land there. LAGOS as, a whole is a swampy land and is mostly reclaimed especially the Islands in Lagos. Banana Island is in Ikoyi beside the Lagoon. Eko Atlantic is by the Atlantic ocean about 1 hour apart as a result of traffic ( for approximate miles, google can assist.) The airport is on the other end of Lagos state. About 3 hours mostly because of the bad traffic
