Honestly, it looks impressive and we hope it can be brought to life soon albeit all the economic problems and turmoil Nigeria is set to face in 2015. More development in Africa would be welcome. If you think it's going to be the "Gateway of Africa" think again! Johannesburg is not folding it's arms and awaiting to usher in the emergence of a new powerhouse within the Sub Saharan Region. When the Eko project is finished Nigeria would still probably be lagging in development by 20 times by then as South Africa would have developed further. This is the real gateway of Africa: "The Sandton area is one of the most opulent in Johannesburg and South Africa, and therefore in Africa. Due to the shortage[dubious - discuss] of available land, the trend in new developments is to go skyward. This is evidenced by the new 140-metre tall Michelangelo Towers, which purports to offer Manhattan-style living in Johannesburg.[22] The new apartment block will be the fourth-tallest building in Johannesburg and local newspaper the Sunday Times reports that the top-selling penthouse apartment was sold for R28 million (around $4 million). Concerns have been raised as to whether Sandton has the necessary road and water infrastructure to sustain the massive development that is characteristic of Johannesburg in the 21st century (since the demise of Apartheid and the Group Areas Act)."

rdokoye Ok my brother. Let us just interact in a more diplomatic manner because as I am following development in your nation it means there is something good going on there and generally it is good to interact with people who are knowledgeable. I just think development in Nigeria has a misleading definition behind the word itself "development". Development is not city skyscrapers like the Eko Atlantic. That kind of "development" is something for the elite not ordinary citizens. The Eko Atlantic type of development was built in Johannesburg a long time ago maybe in the 70's. You can google Sandton to view it or search some pictures on google. Real development is distributing electricity to citizens, providing clean water and sanitation to all citizens e.g. placing more focus on the previously disadvantaged communities in the far out areas like the rural areas where there is no electricity , tar roads, clean drinking water in the taps. I am not sure you have already started that in your part of the world as it seems for now all the focus is developing cities and encouraging more citizens to move from rural,remote areas to those cities whilst those places remain under developed. South Africa has placed a lot on focus on the distribution of electricity , water , easy access to transport in the remote areas albeit there is still lots more work to be done still but the job is still in progress. The cities were first developed a long time ago to a margin that you are only now placing focus on. There is going to be a long way before you can catch up to RSA I think at the same time RSA has the biggest infrastructural development budget in the Sub Saharan region as we speak with only a population of 55 million citizens compared to 170 million citizens in Nigeria which means RSA is not sitting and folding hands.
rdokoye South Africa does have its own problems with inequality brother yes but we certainly have made progress in the number of citizens that have been lifted out of poverty and we have a growing black mid class. In South Africa it is the white race however that is in charge of the corporate sector except for government tenders the black population is in charge of that. Nigeria is a nation of insanely wealthy black people as you have mentioned but it seems that wealth polarization comes at an expense of the majority who are not out of poverty. I can quote you statistics if we had all the time that would show you more people in Nigeria live under horrific poverty and are without basic services. You mentioned South African black citizens rising against their exclusion to the wealth but it is already happening in your country whereas dozens of people are excluded from development and education in Northern Nigeria and thus engaging in an insurgency. Progress is being made in South Africa to address inequality and it does not seem in Nigeria delivery of basic services like electricity and water are essential to the government when your nation is putting more money in developing apartments for the rich and applauding people who are centralizing wealth in Lagos and building skyscrapers whilst most parts are not developed at all. Eko Altantic is not going to get any ordinary citizens out of poverty and give them a bright new future except the wealthy,. It is what we can call "white elephant" in South Africa".

Read the rest there please. Nigerian people have a great spirit and resilience to make it in life and often survive tremendously even outside of their nation. However that does not mean you should be totally oblivious to where you really stand. A discussion with a Nigerian is often fueled by patriotic sentiments,sense of great pride and brimming with confidence which is alright but real statistics say otherwise.

"Nigeria will take time to reach developed status, but when it does, it will be amongst the most powerful nations on this earth" (quote) It certainly will I am sure :) but at the moment you going to have to live with your lesser then astounding status. South Africa is not heaven too. HIV is real and a lot of people are infected or directly affected. We have lost family members yes. Crime is high too especially with break ins in suburban areas. I wouldn't know much about rape but I know it does take place to an extent. I did not compile my report with any negative, hate reports about your nation too because I am taking note and recognizing your efforts like I had said before that more development would be welcome in Africa.
Can someone explain why are there bricks on the road instead of asphalt on concrete pavement? Is this only during the construction so that they have better access to the pipes and cables?
Maurizio Ruggiero - the projects are funded by the Nigerian govt as well as private Nigerian investors. The person/company managing the projects happens to be European. There’s no way he would get the contract if they were not good enough to manage the massive scale. The ppl constructing the buildings and getting paid for the work are Nigerians. Your points and concerns are well taken though.
Omotola Amodu If Dubai has this shallow thoughts years back, the dream to become a place where people including Nigerians run to for tourism will not materialise. Always think out of the box, it may not benefit you today, but in the future it will, and if not to you, your children. It’s retrogressive to be myopic in thoughts. One luv
What are you talking about? what makes you think Nigerians want to look like NY? That's some nonsense talk. Do you know the population of Lagos let alone Nigeria? We need high rise buildings to accommodate 27 million residents in Lagos alone.

Eko Atlantic City vs San Diego comparison
Please build apartment buildings
Can someone explain why are there bricks on the road instead of asphalt on concrete pavement? Is this only during the construction so that they have better access to the pipes and cables?
It's called interlocking bricks and allows water to sip through easily,its used in flood prone areas

Very interesting, good to see progress, lets hope Boko Haram doesn't come and ruin things !!!
so,all these is own and develop by foreign groups ...what are Nigerians doing? ???
Who told you that?
@@slysteel7227 didn't you listen the documentary and even the white chairman of the project speaking for himself? ????
@@slysteel7227 Nigerians may have assess to it but only by purchase

Nigerians are obsessed with trying to look like New York? That is a 90's concept you're obsessed with, people build different now
Not many people care for tall buildings anymore, its a dying concept with no steam. Rather build for art that's what is in
What are you talking about? what makes you think Nigerians want to look like NY? That's some nonsense talk. Do you know the population of Lagos let alone Nigeria? We need high rise buildings to accommodate 27 million residents in Lagos alone.
Lagos is a really small place that accomodates up to 30 million people.
Nigerians don't want to be a new york trust me
@Thabo Sethipa last i checked Jozi was praying for water.
you were fucked out of your own country and now you blame other africans for your poverty.
LORD SAVE ALLAH! That will be all of our songs soon...
