For those who don't understand the meaning of white elephant. It just simply means bojo boju. The more you look the less you see . Of course they are beautiful oh so precious, but the purpose of building it is useless because it will eventually end up in ruins . First on the list we start with bobo Chicago Dubai. When you ask the Ronu nomenclatures what did Bola do in Lagos them go dey do erhmm ermmm. OGA what did he do ? Erhmmmm but he build Eco Atlantic. Now Eco Atlantic is a white elephant project. To even start with it's not for the common man , middle class or what you classify as rich . Only super rich. To make you understand a rent in eco Atlantic for one of the semi building partially completed is more than 3 million for 1 bedroom flat. Uncompleted building o. Lagos - Perennially uncompleted, environmentally unsustainable, hilariously expensive, private-sector-led-but-distinctly-Ajaokuta-esque, Tesco-value Dubai off the coast of Victoria Island. Looks sexy in its glossy Autocad renders though. Courtesy the only slayer of giants 117 Likes 14 Shares
