- A video update on the continuing development of Eko Atlantic features news and information about the emerging city including detailed reports on the infrastructure networks (roads, bridges, power distribution, water supply, underground sewage, storm water drainage, telecommunications), and key structures such as the Great Wall of Lagos, bridges, canals and underpasses, as well the construction of buildings.
am from cameroun what you guys are doing is just wonderful
am speechless i can't say anything for that but all i ca say is
CONGRATES again and again......
This is good Nigeria. We in South Africa are expanding our cities as well. We even talking of aerotropolis (airport city)...Rise Africa Rise. ..
As a half Nigerian and Half South African, I can undoubtedly say that Africa is definitely on the rise✌🏾️✌🏾🇳🇬🇿🇦
This is great. I hope this development benefits the people of Nigeria and not foreigners.
Why do all citizens of the world only care about their own country?
Rivvy because if something is built in a country it’s for the people of that country, not for rich Chinese investors
this good for Lagos. i for see as the New Capital of Africa.
This is greater future of Nigeria in prosperity. This is dream comes true and yes we can do more of this greater Africa development with great visionary leaders. God bless Lagos state, God bless Nigeria and Africa as one.
My plans are made, I'm moving there in 6 years. no doubt.
Same!
SlugHatchet Same here!
+SlugHatchet If my finances are good and I've gained enough experience and backing to start my own manufacturing plant I could see locating it down the road in Leikki Free Trade Zone and living in an apartment or home in EKO in about that time.
If I’m able to find a Job that’ll make me upper second class, I’m moving here, no doubt
Just for reminder Bro.
You have only 2 years left.
My heart is flooded with joy as Nigeria had taken such a bold gigantic strides to join the developed world in the transformation of the city and environments. This is what we seen in America, Asia, Australia, Europe and Middle East etc;. "I'm more than happy seeing Nigeria grows great!". "This is my dream", i pray that God will help and be with Nigeria and Nigerians to actualize this great Vision. God Bless Nigeria Amen !!!
Yup Amen

You know, I've always wanted to step foot on the continent that humans emerged from. Hopefully, once I get out of school as a petroleum engineer, I will be able to step foot into Eko Atlantic and work in Nigeria in the petroleum industry.
+Juzi Michael I PRAY AND HOPE THEY THIS FAILS.. NIGERIA HAS SOOO MANY POOR AND ISSUES IN THE NORTH.. POWER, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PEOPLE FINDING JOBS AND FOOD.. AND THIS IS LOCATED IN V.I. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH IS WILL COST TO GET THERE FROM THE MAINLAND AND TRAFFIC ISSUES.. THIS IS A STUPID IDEA FOR ONLY THE FEW... FIX THE CURRENT PROBLEMS FIRST
@@realtalkmybrother989 You fucktard it's privately funded so it doesn't belong to the government you jealous freak. It's normal ppl who own it so suck yourself. God ppl are stupid!!! And besides, this will help the economy and will generate money to fix the problems you're whining about.
Abeg, wake me up when this city is ready!!
+JoStylin This is the problem with Africans. Talk and boast a lot and yet nothing to show. Wait for a scandal and somebody stealing money.
+TemplarX2 ..lol. I heard the workers are already striking. lol. I went to their exhibition in London. Definately an exciting project, hopefully it will be sucessful.
***** I so hope and pray they succeed but I'm sceptical. As you say I'll believe it when I see it.

+Realtalk YourBrother: you are so shameless that your thinking is backward, the nation must move forward, you have to realise that more than 20000 people are schedule to work in that area, and here you are talking like someone in the 16th century some of those you refered to as poor people are already seing opportunities.
Please remember to build an ultra-modern library. Let's also make available the Museum of Natural History. The two are a sine qua non in a 21st century ultra-modern city. Thank you.
I've been thinking about that for quite some time. A Museum will be a fantastic addition to this city. Much like the ones they have in London, New York, Washington D.C and other major cities around the world. Maybe even theatre as well, while we're on the theme of culture and arts. I'm sure a library will also be a welcomed and useful facility.
i simply can't hide my feelings , my fellow Nigerian Government is doing a great work to improve the lives of the people of Nigeria, as an African and a Ghanaian it is a great significant and a must execute project which interns to develop the nation, and its good for west Africa and the whole continent. congrats bros.
It gives me joy when I see things like this am sure other west Africa countries will emulate this type of development and finally link them with rail network for Turism and economic development not only for Nigeria but for the whole of Africa...God bless African..am Solomon from Sao Paulo Brazil
This is amazing for Nigeria! I hope this city benefits the people as well, not just the rich. Hopefully this project inspires other African countries to step up their game. Call me when they’re done building the city, I’ll be the first tourist
Its lovely to observe the progress of this project. This initial infrastructural development will be beneficial to the rest of Lagos as it will put Nigeria in a good light as a destination for investment.
Additionally more business will be possible with consistent power and clean water. Boosting the local economy as a whole..
But you'll still have massive slums and epileptic power and water supply.Lagos will still be very far from paradise since 80% of residents are very poor slum dwellers
God Bless Nigeria!!!
A job well done here, but if the entire Lagos can be transformed such as this, Nigeria will be a conducive to live and to make legitimate business
This excites me. I hope this in itself will give hope to Nigerians within the country to see that they can create a better future without having to run to our little countries that are struggling in controlling Nigerian refugees. Nigerians are great people now we get to see their greatness in their country. I hope it also encourages many in the diaspora to return back to their home country such as those here in SA.
This is amazing.
There is no overwhelming demand for this edifice in Nigeria. Any sensible Nigerian should feel comfortable living in a two story building built by Nigerians for Nigerians than in a 100 story skyscraper built by foreigners for Nigerians. What is built for you causes dependency and does not help the economy by creating jobs and skills. Where is the catch? There is overwhelming demand for technology to fix power problem in Nigeria, no assistance there. No assistance with iron and steel, no assistance with water. Who is benefiting from this elephant project? making Nigeria look like London, America, etc., should be the very least of Nigerian's priorities.Getting basic amenities of life so Nigerians can build with their own sweat their own land to look like what they want with their own sweat should be their priority. The fact that they want you to buy generators, no electricity help, no iron and steel, no refinery tells yo one important message: There is no free lunch. So, follow the money to see who is really going to benefit from this elephant project.
I can always trust that most of the Engineering is from the minds of Nigerians :) Always when it comes to Nigerians. Though the designs may come from Dubai (which I don't mind Dubai is kick ass xD xD) and other architects, you can't help but feel proud for the Nigerian here. True potential to arise, we hopefully hope Buhari will bring true change.
+Ῥ§yçhic™ the difference is that Nigerians are helping in the building the Arabs in Dubai are very lazy they do not work but are rich though
Ῥ§yçhic™ yup they were very hard working before the oil but after that they became so lazy. Yup Nigeria we have not experienced such division of wealth its with some selected few. Although everyone in Africa is meant to be wealthy because of the resources we have.
titi owo Yep! Hopefully Africans hurry up with their bank. It be great to see the continent rise and retake it's former status. Maybe the Arabs will start to finally use their own brains instead of worrying about African and South Asians brains. Though Nigeria will rise and may just buy out UAE if they don't speed up their process matter of fact, lol.
Ῥ§yçhic™ i cannot wait until that happens myself.
Were are all the Eko Atlantic City in the making clips, please, do fill us in.
Eko Atlantic City (Lagos, Nigeria): Business district of Eko boulevard: A glass boulevard with 30-storied buildings such as Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre.
Looks likes it's going to be the San Francisco of Africa. I can't wait to go and see it for myself.
Akinbobo Buhari
I stand corrected. I still want to go.
+lobecosc when will this city be finish ?
lord lion
The additions to the city of Lagos I believe will be done before 2020.
lobecosc thanks mate
lord lion
Anytime.
I can see only the rich and foreigners benefiting from this. I hope I'm wrong because I'd love to see average Nigerians enjoy this city, but this city will be very expensive to live in, I can already tell. Ocean-front apartments? International schools? Yea, definitely not cheap! And the average Nigerian is struggling! In that case, most people thriving in this city will be very rich Nigerians or average-income foreigners.
+hgsnk333 Once again not looking at the big picture. If it does what it's planned for it will greatly benefit all of Nigeria. There will be lots of banks and finance companies there that would provide funding for lots and lots of business and industry all over Nigeria. Oil Companies would base their offices there and likely be motivated to have more operations in Nigeria after that. All of this spells more jobs for Nigeria and more revenue for the Nigerian government and people.
+gacaptain again you seem to have a knowledge base.
+hgsnk333 right like wall street or the camptons have poor people. Its meant for the middle class upward they want business and investment just like dubia
I wish I was a Nigerian 😆
Njiah Derrick which country are u from
Proud
wow,but how long will this project take to complete or to be completed
Nigerian government must to build smart cities with high skylines and good roads and create jobs for the people of Nigeria
I am all,about progress but I hope this new city helps the "whole" country not select few who...Furthermore, didn't we learn anything from tragedies such as the Titanic? claiming this wall can protect the city from storms for a thousand years, lol don't challenge Nature just saying

China has been doing this. Nothing bad has happened
I want to move there. Vacation home!
Nice view of Lagos- Hopefully everybody living in lagos benefits from the developed. Eko o ni baje, o baje ti
I must live in this city
فخامه لاقوس نيجيريا
Nice
Up Africa
When will our president be capable of creatively giving speech based of point than only reading what was written by other..
Thanks so much..
I'm wondering too..
Jah ka odinese has it start?
silverstien edaria yes since.
Ok but what about the rest of the city.
Who's watching in 2020?
Have they put up plans for investors ? If yes how much can one get a flat in any of the houses
How much would an average apartment cost
Watch recent video of the Eko Atlantic viewed from the City amongst my videos
Would you say that South Africa is faster than Nigeria when it comes to building of roads and other infrastructure?
Yes. Compare Johanessburg to Lagos.
Corruption will not allow this City to be a reality.
And my question is .how many century will it take to be a dream come through?
within the next 5 years, with hope.
+Jammie Barry they have finished two buildings and people have bought those buildings.
Eko Atlantic City vs Changsha comparison
Same pattern all over the world, all over again. Thousands upon thousands of people being forcefully set aside, their vital space handed over to gargantuan corporations for the sake of a showcase city, serving no better purpose than that of a magnet for leeches.
How does it make sense to eradicate the poor in order to hand their land to the very companies that have been scarring and polluting it for decades? Do Nigerians really hope for such a wholesome urbanisation? One that will result in the color of their skin being the only reminder of the continent they inhabit?
Gods bless Africa children continue to don't good for Africa trying to don't it
Hope we see this projects completed as promised
when will it finish?
+the lion By 2030 at the latest
Ok
In their dreams every year the add 5 more years shame on Nigeria
Chuks Justin it's actually moving fast, because it's being funded majorly by private organization and not the corrupt government....I went to see for myself, a friend of mine has a dad who works as an architect for the project
what about southeast are we forgotten it is not good
Jonathan Goodluck if you design your Village like this, is it a bad thing?
Lagos state is what can become like - Hong Kon, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Taipei, Macau, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Nanning, Tianjin, CHengdu, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Chongqing, Hefei, Lanzhou, Harbin, Shenyang, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Datong, Suzhou, Kunming, Haikou, Sanya, Wuxi, Urumqi, Jinan, Xining, Guilin, Baku?
amazing develpment..its really comendable.. but i still think the low n middle class need some kind of attention.. there re millions of land square virgin kilometer not just in lagos but in nigeria that haven being harnessed, i see no reason going into the sea, but its all good , more grease to there elbow. in my best opinion open the gate and touch average nigerians
Nigeria is coming..
I might be accepting a job offer to work on this project soon. Any advice about the quality of life there?
wael breiche If you've got the means, then the quality of life is relatively comfortable. Otherwise, it can be a somewhat stressful environment to live in. I'd recommend staying in a serviced apartment, if you can help it (this goes back to my mention of having the means, because they aren't cheap. Hopefully your firm will already have this sorted out for you) because they'd provide round the clock electricity, water and security, so you don't have to worry about organising those yourself as many Nigerians have to.
Attractions: ample number of bars and clubs, country club, shopping centres, cinemas, a wide variety of international and local cuisines, restaurants and fast-food, beach resorts, golfing resort etc and essentially most of the things you would expect in a modernised or modernising city.
Push factors: traffic congestion during rush hours etc; crime (as you might find in every large city really. However, I have lived in Nigeria 16 years and haven't had a major or direct incident/experience with crime, knock on wood)/insecurity; high prices in certain bars, clubs, restaurants etc; a seeming lack of order sometimes, but I think this is improving; frequent power cuts and a need for a generator (however if you lived in a serviced apartment or certain gated communities, then this wouldn't be an issue for you). It isn't always convenient to walk to places sometimes, due to poor sidewalk provision in some places, or just security concerns for some people (particularly when it's not busy - early mornings or late evenings).
At the end of the day, I'm just speaking to my observations, someone may see things a little differently than I have. And overall Lagos really can be an great and enjoyable place to live and work, despite it's challenges and growing pains. It certainly will be an eye-opening an memorable experience, due to her distinctive energy, culture and way or should I say rhythm of life. It's like nothing you would have ever experienced, in a positive sense. Feel free to throw any further questions that you may have, at me. Good luck!
I thought u guys always think people in Africa lives in d jungle now there will b more foreigners weighing they could live there #eco Atlantic dreams# life progressing
I don't know much but I am wondering what about flooding once the city is complete? If it has been eroded once, will it happen again? Why can't they build skyscrapers inland? As opposed to coastal. I am sorry to be thinking like this but my mind goes to Hurricane Katrina and Sandy in America. You never know what mother nature can do
It's easier, quicker and cheaper to simply build from scratch than to try to rebuild Lagos inland. Plus that doesn't solve the problem of sea erosion. Plus this will create capacity which can eventually be tied to further projects down the line.
I was enjoying the documentary....until Goodluck Ebele Jonathan gave that speach with that horrible voice.
Eko atlantic city must to have trams
1
All I can say is.. Hmm
Dreams dreams dreams...hopefully will not be bastardized like every other thing in the country.
The fish will be trilled.
Give some money to slicky Bill & i'll follow you on the moon
What the hell does bill clinton over there?
U guys should see the kenyan Konza city its better than this one
Oh well,is it for nigerians by nigerians or is it some european exploiters cashing in? Up to date university is important teaching african history,psychology,politics and the art of war and peace
eko atlantic belongs to the foreigners not to nigerians
It was built by Nigerians though
Abeg abeg, after 7 years they still have not done anything but one building. Chai.
5 building done
