Is there anyone on NL that does not know your pathetic life is ruined by bigitry. Look at this idiot talking about coup ? A coup in planning is a coup according to your foolish ipob head. A coup without a day or date it was carried out. The level of foolishness you miserable lot go to prove your foolishness is indeed legendary. obyno82: 1 Like |

OAFMods:I perfectly understand you. As a veteran of NL for exactly 20 years now since 2005, I know the incidious monikers who relentlessly push false or misleading narratives and propaganda. I'm NOT wasting my time correcting him. I largely did that so that the younger folks here and other folks online would NOT be misled by organized disinformation. Your insight is appreciated. |

[quote author=Konquest post=134839705] Indeed, Eko Atlantic evolved through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project between Lagos State under the former Governor Bola Tinubu and the Lebanese-Nigerian Chagoury Group from what was originally solid land in Iruland (the original Yoruba name of Victoria Island) area bordering the former Bar Beach that had been washed away by the raging Atlantic Ocean from the 1990s to the 2000s. If that hadn't been done, the entire Victoria Island that relentlessly got flooded by the horrendous waves of the Atlantic Ocean would have been washed off of precious land right into the Atlantic Ocean (like what is currently going on in Araromi and environs in Ondo State and Bayelsa States) and threatened nearby Ikoyi Island, Lagos Island, and Lekki Peninsula. Eko Atlantic City simply restored the ORIGINAL solid land boundary that existed back in the 1950s to 1980s, by using very advanced dredging devices to get washed away sand from the sea floor right back up to reclaim the land. So, it's NOT that sand was brought from another location to build the land used for Eko Atlantic City. With the United States new diplomatic mission, First Bank Holdings, Television Continental Headquarters, hotels and more high profile organisations building structures and moving over to the well-planned Eko Atlantic City, the place is gradually taking shape, BUT it will take some more time to gain critical mass. A lot still has to be done to upgrade the city which has a sea wall to prevent any future ocean rise and more. [/quote Well said The same land reclaiming process is going on in Banana Island too. Been to Eko Atlantic on several occasions; it's amazing. Tinubu is a genius. 1 Like 1 Share |

gmo10:@gmo10 Indeed, the foresight of former Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos State and his team in partnering with Chagoury Group to rescue Victoria Island from the horrendous waves of the Atlantic Ocean which would have buried the entire Island right now and threatened Ikoyi Island, Lagos Island, Lekki Peninsula, etc,(due to rising ocean waters caused by climate change which has melted some of the largest icebergs in the North Pole and South Pole) was pure genius. NO right thinking person can fault him on that majestic project which raised the already eroded land from the former Bar Beach area back to glory to form Eko Atlantic City like the mythical Egyptian Phoenix. Referencing the Banana Island reclamation you talked about, I've been aware that a significant part of those reclamations are illegal and since about 2020 right till 2025 warning shots have been fired by the Lagos State government to those illegally extending the original Banana Island master plan and shoreline. The irresponsible attitude of some folks to NOT wanting to do things legally needs to be studied as a special case study in human obstinence. You CAN'T do these sorts of land violations in Singapore and China otherwise you'll face the full weight of the law and it's time for Lagos State to make scapegoats out of those doing this. There's an ecological reason why existing landmasses are NOT extended through land reclamation in some places to protect the existing natural flow of water from being obstructed while natural water flows from the lagoons right into the oceans.

sevenhundred:Emphasis on "attempting a coup". Again, a coup is only a coup if it is deemed successful. Any connotation other than Success can't be said to be a coup. |

obyno82: SHUT UP, FOOL. The OP is responding to an earlier thread that sought to paint the Egypt city as âbetter than Nigeriaâ as is usual with your wretched inferiority complex. Stupid dullards. Isnât this why thousands of you are SLAVES in Libya today, begging the Nigerian govt to evacuate you? Stupid moro.ns with inferiority complex including university educated bankers, working as slaves in Libyan fields today, and getting fcked in the asss by Libyan guards because they stupidly ignored the fact it was a wartorn country with no government or president, and traveled there anyway, because in your stupid, thick, moronic heads, âeverywhere is better than Nigeriaâ, especially if the people there are light- skinned. Stupid, mentally colonised dullards with no sense. 1 Like |
