Ogene001: I agree with you. I know many state governors are clueless as to how to attract investment but I think the federal government should work with state governors to work on ways to make their states business friendly so that some of those investors will give Lagos state some breathing space. This will help decongest the state. They should take advantage of the water bodies in the south south states, construct railway lines, fix our roads, provide electricity and give iinvestors incentives to encourage them. |

Folksyharry: What if the locals in those states just won't cooperate and continue to make life hard for investors. If Lagos is the only business friendly town in Nigeria then let it continue to enjoy from it's friendliness. 2 Likes |

You nailed it! Even in Dubai this system has it's limitations. Do a google search for Kansai Airport in Japan and see how the airport Island is sinking faster than the Engineers calculated. There is plenty of land in Nigeria that is not developed or not maintained, but the "elite" want to be near the ocean and away from the masses. Hope it washes the crooks away. https://www./enginering-went-totally-wrong-kansai-airport-japan-ocean-nawaqavou http://www.tourism-review.com/travel-tourism-magazine-japanese-airport-is-sinking-together-with-the-artificial-island-article2374 hahn: 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Most of the people that can afford to purchase here will have access to stolen money or their parents gave them stolen money from political connections or former government work. If you have spare change to buy house built on sand in the ocean then go ahead. But those of you that worked hard for your money and was not handed down stolen money be careful. Go online and review how reclaimed land has fared in advanced countries with effective laws and property rights. The record is spotty. |

The stakeholders will benefit surely but the money still goes to the politicians who will steal it again and the disaster still strucks. Many will die and properties destroyed but a new govt will come and no good will reach the masses. Nigeria is still cursed till we realize this an deal with it. We keep making govt rich at our expense. LRNZH: 1 Like |

PapaBrowne: Tree huggers are anti capitalist. the OP is a tree hugger but it's unfortunate the weak will has always and will always pay for the rise of capitalism. And capitalism... is on the brink of Nigeria. For all the development and mordenization this country needs to feed, protect and engage her populace are all born of capitalism. Even China embraced capitalism eventually.... OP... just build another wall or relocate em... Eko Atlantic is bringing in billions in FDI 3 Likes |
