Funny most if you see them at the train station in marina rushing in gra gra, you will be shocked these are they same people who criticized the project, bros, the way they rushes in gidigbo style is dangerous, both men and women, I can't let someone come and blow my jaw because I want to enter train to beat traffic, if you are not careful, they will injure you seriously, they run in with full force like elephant on full speed, I'm not exaggerating

A rail project that took 20 years to actualise is not a success story to boast about. By the time the rail project was completed new problem have occurred.

yoruboid:
Just a reminder that we are not mates

A lot of regions are pulling Yorubaland backwards

We need to return to the regional system of government

Yorubas are visionary and development oriented

God bless Yorubaland

Yoruba's can move forward without blaming other regions.

That's the way to go!
Mr Idahosa dey look for big money.

jimi4us:
That's money thrown into dustbin , but we all know what is behind this so-called investors. Land grabbing from locals)

chagory brothers and Tinubu family did more than this to take over Lagos lands (Banana island) and Eko Atlantic.

And today there are the most beautiful location and has highest ROI in real estate

My uncle invested in properties in the area and cashing out

What benefits will it be like other state who allow such to waste

They should please use Lagos Island(Marina) for this fantasy( ) project as that whole area could do with a complete re-doing e.g Canary Wharf. There is sooo much potential for Lagos Island that's being held back by existing decrepit buildings and infrastructure.

$4.5B just for a film city In a 3rd world country is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

Are we planning to produce Hollywood films or anything better than what we have been doing by filming in locations in SA and UK?

When we have hunger and poverty everywhere they want to build a film city?

You are an absolute MORO.N if you think NIGERIANS are gonna shy away from projects because their country is “third world” (a stupid, outdated term).

You have “hunger and poverty everywhere”. Did your mumu head not read the tens of thousands of jobs that will be created by the project?

How do you tackle poverty if not by creating employment opportunities?

what stupid phantom ten thousands of jobs are u talking about?

By 3rd world country I'm talking about misplaced priority based on the volume of thst investment on a film city when I can be used to create a business hubs or develop agricultural sector.

what does Nollywood need a $4.5b film city for? Many people have invested in Nollywood and it is even oversaturated and plateaued.

More jobs in only one or 2 sectors will not fix the economy and will create an imbalance and even add to inflation. u nitwit

Is this why there is no drinking water in enugu state?

Lest wait wether.the Gala people will still say they develop Lagos

CodeTemplar:
We all know this is impossible. Nigeria and corporate schemes/scams. MoU today and MoU tomorror.

Obidients sighted

healthkknatural:
Instead of them to bring Investors in Agriculture/Poultry and fisheries ,Large Massive Fertile Land stretches across the Nation .

Misplaced Priorities.

Nigerians Needs Food , It would boost Economy when we have Abundance and Also Export. Employment and Food Availability

Why don't you bring them instead of crying and complaining everytime

jazzman7711:


You SW guys have allowed Obidients to turn you into tribalists.

This is not you, man.

Yorubas are nationalists. Patriots.

Awo, Beko, Gani, Fela, Soyinka, Tai Solarin, Ige, Falana.

You’re bigger than this tribalist stuff. Don’t let IPOB and Obidients drag you down to their level.

Thanks for the advise sir. I really appreciate.

Beautiful , other states should follow suits by emulating Lagos state

Check my previous posts for cheap gadgets on Xmas bonus

did you see the name idahosa there. It's an film city being develop by a Benin indigene in partnership with Singaporean firm. Lagos govt here is just an enabler - they need land from the govt and that's all. You Yoruba folks need to understand that strangers drive development to a city and stop being tribalistic and stop fighting other tribes living in lagos

They re going o drown Lagos very soon. It has reached its capacity.

Instead of u to empower the local industry, these ppl keep doing cosmetic surgery! Same thing with automobile industry, he keeps bringing in foreign companies stifling the local dealers and manufacturer!!

WILL YOU SHUT YOUR ROTTEN LIPS.

Oh sure, you, a faceless dunce on Nairaland, knows more than the investors what is good for Nollywood.

After all the $4.5 billion was just picked up from the floor to invest in any hare-brained idea that came to mind.

Stupid, brainless idiot off the street who thinks he ‘knows’.

yoruboid:


Abia that is a clueless state

Imagine coming up with a budget of over N500bn for 2024 and only being able to do an IGR of only N22bn from January to September while hoping that the rest of Nigeria will raise money for them through FAAC

Even Osun and Ekiti state had higher IGRs than Abia

What do you understand by IGR? Tax people until they cannot eat so that they can die to collect N5k($3.2)?

Most unfortunate is the fact thay live larger than life in your penury

Clown. Goodluck in in investing such in Nollywood. I don't blame them I blame Nigerians who have their priorities upside down in a failed state.

Nollywood can never talk about the realities Nigerians are dealing with just fantasies.

Probably same thing your father said when other people parent were building houses in Banana island, Lekki Free trade zone and Eko Atlantic. Continue doubting, keep it up.

federal system is the biggest issue for nigeria....
but nobody dares to talk about it....you get banned for that here....

tried it after sowjet union fell it realy weakened alot to level the whole east and west....
am not sure nigeria can achieve the same thing with limited resources and already very angry people added to it....

wait a minute....

how did this thread ended up political again....
this thread started as nollywood attracted investments....

how did this ended up about which state has more igr....

this is insane....

PulaPower:

And after they’ve started building it tomorrow, you’ll switch to una usual poem - how FG is building Lagos..

Don't mind him,you don't listen to an erratic mofos like this!
In the 21-Century,saying 'impossible',shows how woke some Nigerians are!
Code Tempa- you will see it, and be alive to witness it in Lagos State!
Please,go and do away with Hatred and Doubt 🧐.
