The heading says so man. The language you could tell me what they're saying. I assumed he was explaining how Ashanti royal queens would get the most muscled Dagomba males to impregnate them.
he was warning Asanteman of the dangers of talking and complain all the time
and digress into the history of Dagomba with a conditional stateman

Eko Atlantic is the name of a grandiose project to create a new economic capital for Africa—notably, right next to the current economic capital for Africa. The development includes everything from sky-scrapers to luxury apartments, a new financial district, a private power-grid, and a shopping boulevard in the image of New York’s Fifth Avenue. It’s the brainchild of the Chagoury brothers, two Nigerian-born billionaires of Lebanese descent who own South Energyx Nigeria Ltd, a real estate development company created to build out Eko Atlantic.


whiles countries are driving their population out of poverty
Nigeria is busy creating a class system
Eko will have it own private electricity and everything
leaving the 70% of Lagos poor population to scavenge.

It’s the water that the city is named for—“Lagos,” from the Portuguese word for lakes. Many of the poor, who make up 70% of the city’s population, live in floating shanty slums in the city’s lagoons.

It’s also the sea that has been responsible for Lagos slowly sinking. Lagos consists of a mainland and a series of islands, which make it especially susceptible to rising sea levels. It is this proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, combined with risks from climate change, that pose the largest environmental threat to the megalopolis.

zik got motivated by what he saw in Ghana and decided to go back home to lead the campaign in nigeria.
before this, the likes of Sydney Casely Hayford had gone to the UK to fight for lands in Nigeria from being held in trust of the royal family.

Yea that's the rollercoaster ride they are riding you guys.Nigeria is bigger than Ikoyi whilst your national electricity generation reached an all time high in March 2018 at 4,400 megawatts of electricity for 200 million people and about 3,000 megawatts for 8 months in 2018.Most areas are sacrificed for months without power for a few sites just to please investors and super rich locations in the developed parts of Lagos.They never care about you folks.Abuja also have good electricity buh contains less than 4 million Nigerians just to please the foreign diplomats and politicians.Don't be tricked.It's the same power generation amount without major changes since 2010 buh they are been more discriminatory now.Read this and mind you Ghana of 29 million people generates and distributes 3,500- 4,000 megawatts daily https://www.nairaland.com/4788241/power-supply-still-under-4000mw

Your mumu still never do. i will continue exposing your gullibility as ling as you want to remain stupid.

The first doctor and first lawyer in Nigeria are from southwest zone. scratch that and face it slowpoke..

Western education, Yoruba were the first people to contact it in nigeria and this had pave way for the them to top Nigeria positions and academic position, wben it comea to general education. the northerners were the the fkrat to be educated in Nigeria. they' are the one wjo first learn how to write and read. Those days igbos were busy haunting tbe bush meat.


It is pathetic that tbe same hausa feeding from ground are the one feeding you and directing your destiny






The first doctor in Nigeria was an Efik man - Silas G. Dove, who obtained medical degrees from France and, returned to practice medicine in 1840 in Calabar.

Who was the first Nigerian Professor of Mathematics – an Ibo man – Professor Chike Obi – the man who solved Fermat’s Last Theorem. He was followed by another Ibo man, Professor James Ezeilo, Professor of Differentail Calculus and the founder of the Ezeilo Constant. Please do some research on this great Ibo man. He later became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Nsukka and one of the founders of the Nigerian Mathematical Centre. Who was Nigeria’s first Professor of Histroy – Professor Kenneth Dike who published the first account of trade in Nigeria in pre-colonial times. He was also the first African Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan. Who was the first Professor of Microbiology – Professor Eni Njoku; he was also the first African Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos. Anatomy and Physiology – Professor Chike Edozien is an Asaba man and current Obi of Asaba. Who was the first Professor of Anatomy at the University College Ibadan? Who was the first Professor of Physics? Professor Okoye, who became a Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1960. He was followed by the likes of Professor Alexander Anumalu who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Physics three times for his research in Intermediate Quantum Physics. He was also a founding member of the Nigerian Mathematical Centre. Nuclear Physics and Chemistry – again another Ibo man – Professor Frank Ndili who gained a Ph.D in his early ’20s at Cambridge Univesity in Nuclear Physics and Chemistry in the early ’60s. This young Asaba man had made a First Class in Physics and Mathematics at the then University College Ibadan in the early ’50s. First Professor of Statistics – Professor Adichie who’s research on Non-Parametric Statistics led to new areas in statistical research. What about the first Nigerian Professor of Medicine – Professor Kodilinye – he was appointed a Professor of Medicine at the University of London in 1952. He later became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Nsukka after the war. What about Astronomy – again another Ibo man was the first Professor of Astronomy – please, look up Professor Ntukoju – he was the first to earn a double Ph.D in Astronomy and Mathematics.

Let’s go to the Social Sciences – Demography and statistical research into population studies – again another Ibo man – Professor Okonjo who set up the first Centre for Population Research in Ibadan in the early ’60s. A double Ph.D in Mathematics and Economics. Philosophy – Professor G D Okafor, who became a Professor of Philosophy at the Amherst College USA in 1953. Economics – Dr. Pius Okigbo who became a visiting scholar and Professor of Economics at the University of London in 1954. He is also the first Nigerian Ph.D in Economics. Theology and theological research – Professor Njoku who became the first Nigerian to earn a Ph.D in Theology from Queens University Belfast in Ireland. He was appointed a Professor of Theology at the University College Zambia in 1952.

Been the first to see the white man and interact with him doesn't mean that you are way ahead of the Igbos. Stop believing the lies told by your Yoruba mom cos, she never read any book. She's just the typical Yoruba with a strong penchant for guessing and assuming.

No you are wrong power generation has increased i think it is distribution that is the problem...all we need is patience ...i feel the power generation is a must because they have invested massively in some sector that needs power. And besides i was at ibadan in the month of January and electicity was impressive..it was around 19_20 hours if i remember correctly

No i live around there..70% of lagosian are not living in floating slum...in lagos the slum you can find are
Makoko
Oworoshoki
The third i cant remember the name but it located beneath third mainland bridge.

Now out of these three slum mentioned above two have been demolished, which are the oworoshoki and the one i said i cant remember.
If you move past that side you would see skyscrapers (housing unit)rising from that same slum that we detested and called an eyesore..
I even heard that the govt is building a project in that same oworoshoki to boost lagos tourism..,.

As for eko Atlantic it is meant to boost economic activities and give lagos a new modern CBD with amazing as skyline to protect their image internationally

In london there is oxford street and it is one of the highest highbrow area if not the highest in uk , but how many people is living there..it is because all fingers are not equal but it has ot own economic importance..

Just like dubai , it will continue to attract foreign investors globally because the kind of infastructure they have put in place,..,so eko Atlantic os not just for luxury but for economic activities at the global level....so yes it is important our govt provide that
