I don't know if y'all know but a $3.4bn city is currently under construction in Anambra state..

....

The $3.4 billion Soul City project sitting on 50 hectares of land in Obosi, Anambra State, is expected to generate over 50, 000 direct and indirect jobs, the President of Soul City project, Nnamdi St. Michael Nwokoye has said.

He gave this hint at the weekend when he led a delegation to the corporate headquarters of Vintage Press Limited, publishers of The Nation newspaper titles.

According to him, the project is aimed at bringing African-American brothers back home to also invest and integrate with Nigerians and other Africans alike

“The city would be a podium for business. Business is the primary objective of this project. There would be an amusement park, for recreational activities, industrial layout for industrialists and MSMEs. We intend building hotels, hospitals, big time schools, mini zoo, and residential areas that can accommodate workers and others that intend to live in the city,” Nwokoye noted.

Pressed further, he said the edifice when completed would be a world class tourist attraction that would host over one million visitors every year. “We mapped out a place for industries, we have a place for hospitality industry, and we have a place for residential. It will attract every aspect of business into the country. On completion, it would be generating over 50,000 direct and indirect jobs.”

He said the over 50 hectares of land which the city would be built on in the next few years, would be further expanded in the future with more land acquired.

He further explained that the American partners are notable black people living in US, stressing that a Memorandum of Understanding and the modalities of the investment are being fine-tuned.

“We have offered 30 percent of the total worth of the investment to them. This is so because the state government would be given some stakes. We are providing the land, while the Americans, the state government, and other Nigerian investors would be providing the required finances and other technical logistics. Garry Luster, A former Mayor in US for 20 years, businessman, an estate developer and an entrepreneur is one of the investors, though, they are coming as a group into this partnership,” he hinted.

While reiterating the job prospect of the project, Nwokoye said, “This City is referred to as the new investment destination in Africa. It is the new investment hob, and it is an avenue to attract foreign direct investment into Nigeria, which means that the country’s foreign exchange will be enhanced, the Gross Domestic Product of the country would be enhanced, and above all, over 50,000 jobs would be created within the city. This would create a new dimension in the world tourism business, and especially the world wrong perception of Nigeria and Nigerians. We want to use it to clean up some of the bad images the world have about Nigeria.”

“Moreover, we also considered providing a solution for the jobless youths, so we created the model for this city which would be an answer to the ever increasing unemployment in the country. When this city comes on board, the youths will no longer waste away after passing out from the universities and this will bring them back home,” he maintained.

Also speaking, the Executive Director, Mrs. Ebele Amaka Emeka-Duruem, said the foundation stone would be laid on October 6th, stressing that construction would commence in earnest.

She said the projected date for completion of the first phase four years’ time, pointing out that over 500 high rising units of the building has been planned for the first phase.

Even before completion?
You see, the only countries that can compete with Nigeria in Africa are the north African countries and South Africa. All others are just wannabes.

Of course. You know Nigerians have been doing this kind of things before other African countries. When people like the Kenyans were still in huts Nigerians already had towns of well built houses.
Just like we introduced Africa to the first black doctors, lawyers, television, etc.

Nigerian Healthtech Startup, Lifebank Expands Into Kenya

Nigerian Healthtech Startup, Lifebank Expands Into Kenya

https://technext.ng/2020/09/16/nigerian-healthtech-startup-lifebank-expands-into-kenya/

Wow! The Nigerian private sector is the most vibrant in Africa. We are in South Africa, Kenya, every part of sub Sahara Africa. This is great. And I am sure that company is founded by Nigerians and not some Indians.

Kenyans on nairaland should read this.
Now, I understand why they are so impotently angry with Nigerians. Nigeria is taking over Kenya!!!

Iraki was reacting to the recent sale of Kenya's Transnational
Bank to Access Bank of Nigeria, noting that Access was not
the first Nigerian bank to get a foothold in Kenya.
"Guaranty Trust (GT) and UBA already have a presence here,"
he says. The professor also said many Nigerians marrying
Kenyan women was another grand strategy to get into the
country's market.
The article partly read, "Why is the buyout so significant to the
banking sector and the Kenyan economy? Why didn't we
notice it? Is that the last Nigerian purchase? First, the entry of
Nigerian lenders into the Kenyan
market was well planned. It started by softening the Kenyan
mind with Nigerian churches and Afrosinema movies. That
changed the hardened image of Nigerians as corrupt and
happy-go-lucky—an outdated image.
"From my interactions, Nigerians are serious and focused.
That focus and single-mindedness are often mistaken for pride
and arrogance. Once they set their goals on something, they
usually get it. The means can be contested, excluding juju.
For every Nigerian caught on the wrong side of the law, nine
others are doing the right thing, not just in their country, but
somewhere in the world. One of them supervised my
dissertation.
"I recently met a Nigerian who was a member of parliament in
South Africa. In America, they are top administrators in
universities, medical doctors, engineers, financial analysts and
other lucrative jobs. It has been predicted that Nigeria will
soon be Africa's superpower. And why not? The country has
gone through thick and thin, from coups and anti-coups and
even a civil war, like the other superpower - USA."
"For the Nigerians, marrying our girls seems to be part of their
grand strategy to get into the Kenyan market; through genes,
across generations. What else will Nigerians go for after our
banks? Are banks their Trojan horse into our economy? And,
more curiously, why is Kenya on sale? Not that I am an
economic nationalist, but what are we buying ourselves?

If you are too lazy to read the whole article, read the bolded. See strategies!
Kenyans say Nigerians are just buying small Kenyan banks but little do they know that it's all a strategy to get into their economy and expand. Nigerians already control banks and telecommunications companies in Kenya. I wonder what would follow.

Enugu

Enugu is beautiful and cool. Never knew the place got a waterfall.

You wonder why Shoprite is going to have problems in Nigeria?
This is one of the reasons:
In Ibadan alone, Foodco, a supermarket chain is about to open its 12th outlet! Its strategy is to bring its shops to where people live unlike Shoprite that targets malls in CBDs.
Foodco is a company that's special to me.
That's why I keep talking about it.

Now, the latest one is in the outskirts of Ibadan at Ologuneru.
Why would I go to Shoprite at Dugbe, 5 km away or Shoprite Challenge, about 10km away when I have a Foodco which is a 2 minutes walk from my gate? To be opened to the public on the 25th of September.

The Kenyans are scared. They want Nigerians to come and continue that rubbish talk with them on that thread we already left after giving them so much attention. I like how nigerians and ghanaians are giving them the cold shoulder now. They can continue talking with Tanzanians.
If they want more they should come here.
