People have been asking whether Nigeria can build such administrative capital like Egypt but they forgot that Abuja was a city built from the scratch. There are picture evidence that Abuja was a forest calved out from Kogi and other States.

Egypt Administrative capital was not built for economic returns. It was built to shield the military government in a civilian cloth from revolution and mass protest reason it was hurriedly packaged. There were revolutions and canter revolution in Egypt as result of mass protest and culminated in the death of thousands of people between 2010 and 2015, reason why there is need to shield the present government from the masses.

The new administrative capital was financed with loan compare with Eko Atlantic that is private investment driven.

Which is more amazing between a city that is built on the desert and the one that rose from Atlantic Ocean?

So, Nigeria has done what Egypt did decades ago and still doing it now.

To Nigerians, anything done by a foreign country is always better than theirs

"Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself."

Ordinary roads by town planning we can't achieve here. With the mediocre roads that's filled everywhere we don't know how to construct like the foreigners and that's the truth. If we can't get roads right we can't get construction of houses right too.

You are right. One of the reasons Egypt is building a new capital from ground up is to prevent what happened that led to regime change. A way to protect future governments.

Nigeria did something similar when we moved the capital city from Lagos to Abuja. It was a way to shield governments from coups and the likes.

It kind of worked though as Nigeria has only experienced one coup since moving the capital to Abuja

God bless Jagaban!

God bless Nigeria!

We Nigerians don't actually acknowledge the good side of our government

Egypt already started another advance Pyramid building.

This is not Alien structure or building

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 (similar to what is currently going on in the areas directly on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean such as Araromi and environs in Ondo State and communities in Bayelsa State) and threatened the destruction of 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 nearby sea floor right back up to reclaim the land. So, it's NOT that sand was brought from a far away location to restore 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.

Keep giving yourself potential hope. Nigeria is a failure and have been a failure for over 60 years. Quran reading leaders have taken the country to year 225.


Nigerian own does not have reliable electricity. That Egyptian hurriedly built city, has reliable electricity than Nigeria can ever imagine.

A country without electricity is a useless archaic country. Everything no be generator alone. This is why, an igbo nation will go all in in electricity production, mastery, and advancement. Future igbos will not know what it is to not have mass electricity. Even the main roads will have cheap and safe electricity to be charging cars as you are moving or parked.

The administrative capital of Nigeria was hurriedly and finally moved from Lagos Island (NOT the entire Lagos State as being erroneously pushed around by some highly uninformed younger people) on December 12, 1991 to the newly constructed FCT (Abuja) by the ruthless military dictatorship of Ibrahim Babangida as you rightly stated because of that deadly Major Gideon Gwaza Orkar-led military coup or insurrection of April 22,1990 that nearly took Ibrahim Babangida's life in Lagos but for loyal military forces who turned things around. That day remains indelible for me because some Northern States of Nigeria (Old Kano State, Old Sokoto State, Old Kaduna State, Old Bauchi State, and Old Borno State) were irresponsibly excised in a speech by Gideon Orkar from the rest of Nigeria without taking into consideration that indigenous minority ethnic groups who were also non-Muslims existed in all those States listed above. Key locations such as the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) Lagos had also been seized by Orkar's renegade group.

So for more clarity, since the Gideon Orkar coup, there hasn't been any coup in Nigeria aside from maybe in 1993 when the Ernest Sonekan-led "Interim Government" was eased out by that criminal of a military dictator called Sani Abacha who brazenly stole over $4 billion of Nigeria's money through the Nigerian Central Bank into foreign offshore bank accounts in the Caribbean, Europe, and more. Some of the billions in USD stolen by this late military dictator above are still being returned gradually as of today to Nigeria. Military rule has largely been far worse for Nigeria and many countries of the world because you would be killed if you challenge them, get locked up on trumped up charges, freedom of speech is ruthlessly curtailed, and the military dictatorships have a habit of eliminating and killing other noble military men who they find are not in their support.

the day I saw some Nigerians, especially those with ipob mentality celebrate military government putting .5% tax on import from ecowas as a sign of good governance was when I gave up on the inbuilt inferiority complex of average Nigerians.

Especially from that part of the country.

Obaaderemi2:

Anything done by foreigners, no matter how basic, will be hyped to heaven.

A government builds a gutter in Sudan -
Dem dem: "Wow, see good governance! Nigeria could never."
Who cursed Naija?

A state government builds a lightrail in Naija and probably first in Africa. -
Dem dem: "Shey na rail we go chop? Their mates are building flying rail in Japan. They are pushing the rail."

Thrice accursed people, dem.

Eko Atlantic is not better than the Egypt new city.

Have you been to Egypt? That city will not be comparable to Eko Atlantic even in the dream by a few years from now

Babangida moved the capital to Abuja, and Abacha's coup happened after Babangida

All this rubbish yoruba analyst talking rubbish. If it's Nigeria building this new administrative area wouldn't it be stolen and job done haphazardly. Let them get out comparing a new place built from the scratch in the 21st century to a place built from the scratch in 20th century
