Dubai, whom we copied the idea from, is a top tourist attraction. Yet, they’ve slowed down on all their massive projects. I doubt Eko Atlantic will meet any of the potential. Pricing the land and properties in dollars is the first mistake. Its beyond the average Nigerian, and the super rich Nigerian will get more value for money buying a house in Dubai or the UK. They’d have better profit turning it into a tourist attraction, and maybe moving Apapa port there.

There must first be enough wealthy Nigerians who can invest in this project and make it a reality.

Poor infrastructure to transport supplies and equipment to the job site causes more expense. A presence of insatiable corruption at the top is another major extra expense as many hands need to be greased in order to keep the project from being purposefully bogged down in red tape.

Property value (#1 source of accumulated wealth for ordinary ppl) will drop. The new city will only be affordable for the rich. The rich, who are not homeless, will use it to accumulate 2nd-4th-9th houses. It will contribute no additional wealth. But if you take your city that's already there, already proven it's economic viability, and invest your 'new city' money into renewing the old city, all of the property owners (regular people), will see the value of their investments skyrocket and you create several new rich people. The Dubai/China style city that's planned from someone's head has proven again and again to not work. Many like the aesthetics of a new city and that becomes more important than the logic and practicality. Nigeria already has a fully functioning planned 'new city' called Abuja.

Yh I agree and the prices are extremely high my god ,how are they going to sell to 200 thousand people this apartments where even the 99.9%of the population in the UK cannot afford places like this ,how can the local pay for $1.5 millions for an apartment, in my point the hardest part for this project is going to be selling those apartments in my opinion.

Nigerian so called leaders are clueless and without vision. Perhaps it is by design. No trains and no buses ensures poor people are kept out. When Nigeria implodes and the poor begin to eat the rich, do you think they want to be easily accessible? Most Nigerians can’t even afford Ikoyi or Maitama (most houses there are vacant) but they want us to believe this will benefit the masses that earn roughly $5,000 per year or less lol This project is for foreigners who will take over the place and keep Nigerians out. Don’t be surprised you’ll see “no Nigerians/Africans allowed” posted in their cafes, restaurants, and night clubs.

@@Braimoh U're right. Japan is extremely innovative when it comes technology. Singapore too. A country with issues similar to Nigeria and In 30 yrs, they have changed the course of their history for the better. Nigeria is at a high risk of a water crisis and haven't even taken aggressive steps to course correct. Its sad.

Steven this is great recap of what is going on. Its so sad that all this infrastructure dose not serve to its own people. So many jumps and lack of engagement with people and communities in what their real needs are. Love your sincere reporting and care. Thank you for sharing 🙏

With all due respect, rather interesting how some folks can tell that “this infrastructure does not serve its own people” and decipher what the “real needs” of our communities are better than those of us daily on the ground and actually from the aforesaid communities. SMH 🤦‍♀️

@NFT Daily News I totally agree with you. For example, Manhattan is an Island in New York city and only few people can afford to live there, but it provides a lot jobs and opportunities - skilled and unskilled for thousands of people that commutes daily to this USA financial hub. Not being able to live somewhere does not mean you cannot benefit in other ways.

@NFT Daily News Could is your word but truth speaks for its self. 20 years you can ask its people if they are happy and live abundant lives, this recap Steven did is great. Speaks for its self. facts speak for themselves. You can check his video from Cross River State as well. Engagement with people and communities brings happiness and caring and supports life. Many blessings of love 🙏

GOD bless the minds that will grow and sustain this project.🙏🏿 So much potential for This project 🤲🏾

For all the modernity of this district, why are there no rail lines there. Can you imagine trying to move round the financial district of Hong Kong, Singapore or any other major commercial hub around the world? You did examine pace of construction which being polite can be described as "sloth-like". One does wonder will it ever be completed? Compare that with what's happening in Bangkok (Thailand), you will see we have "fallen right off the pace!" The fact is Lagos isn't immune to the troubles of the turbulent economy and until government decides to follow improved policies this project will continue crawl forward at a very slow pace. Thank you for asking and answering so many questions about this project.

@DemiKhay Africa TV Thank you DemiKhay Africa TV.

I'm glad to have marketed this futuristic city in London at the African Business Awards and Commonwealth Business Council Summits in 2010. It clearly is Nigeria's ticket to a developed ecosystem. I pray the owners have also done same mechanics as they did on the sea wall to stop the city from being thrashed by Nigerians. Kudos to the video maker, I think going forward you should approach the owners and ask them to speak about the energy mix planned to power this city, low -cost housing accommodation for service men , refuse engineering and green practices etc. Also tell us how much condos cost for short let and holiday fun seekers as well as the restaurants and entertainment options planned for the city. cheerio.

This is a real project. Serving its purpose. No complaints at all

It's a good development no doubt. However, I hope the developers are willing to expend massive resources to promote and attract the international community to the city as it seems that is their primary target audience.
