Ronald, it truly is an amazing development. I've been watching this project from the states and glad to see it's progress. I just pray people have patience & let everything be handled with great care.
We have to build a world-class bus stations in Eko Atlantic City like that of Rosa Parks Transit Center... Dong Seoul Bus Terminal... George Washington Bridge Bus Station... Incheon Bus Terminal... San Francisco Transbay Terminal... Bristol Bus Station... Porth Authority Bus Terminal.. Bangkok Bus Terminal (Chatuchak)... Dongguan Bus Station... Compassvale Bus Interchange.
it's been 8 years since the land reclamation ended and it is still not even close to half way common guys, what happened to deadlines? even 40 years ago dubai and china did not take 30 years to complete lol. with our tech today it really should have been completed within 10 years.
For your information, the Land reclamation of Eko Atlantic isn't in any way complete. Also mind you, this is a private development, so they are building at their own pace, if you want it much faster, maybe you can hop-over and give them some billions of dollars, cos it costing several billions to actualize such a massive project. I Love my #Lagos #Eko
It looks slow now, but I have this firm belief it's gonna have a ripple effect and investors will be struggling to get land to build, it's perfectly located in the busiest city in westafrica. Watch this space, I told you so.
Very good point. With the rapid growth of Lagos...and of Nigeria, it is only a matter of time before we see a huge increase of construction on Eko Atlantic. I did say 25-30 years before it is a full blown Manhatan with no land left, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens sooner knowing Nigeria
@@ronaldchagoury-africainves968 oh my word, you replied to my comment really appreciate that, I live in Qatar and I pray we are able to replicate or do better than what I've seen here. Strong leadership and vision is very important and I believe in you sir, you and I are the future. GOD BLESS YOUR HUSTLE
@@ugowoundo Thank you 🙏🏾 I think we can do better, but it will take the time it needs to get it done right. I've been seeing a lot of new building designs coming around Lagos, and they look world class. I think we'll wake up one day and not recognise some of the new skylines of Lagos 🤞🏾
We have to build a world-class airport in Eko Atlantic like that of Kunming Wujiaba Iinternational Airport... Seattle Tacoma International Airport... Hangzhou Xioshan International Airport... Charlotte Douglas International Airport... Kunming Changshui International Airport... Miami International Airport... Beijing Daxing Airport... George Bush International Airport... Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport... Jinan International Airport.

This project has stalled after the land filling, two towers and a large swimming pool. This place should be a construction site but there are no sight of ongoing work. I was how long it took to build Sochi or Stratford city. Developers should be compelled to develop the land, both state / federal government should invest and Nigerians should pool cash together like a bounds to raise cash for invest. Just my one pence

In a fully planned smart city, the most important thing to do first before putting up massive structures above ground, is to ensure that all underground facilities and amenities are fully in place. Buildings and homes takes less time to put up. If they start building massively now, there are bound to be some interferences on some underground services that will disrupt the original plans.
20 to 30 years to fully complete ? whoa....this is insane. If it was in China or Japan, this city would have been completed about 3 years ago...Upon all the money Nigeria has...Oh Nigeria, stand up for light please and cast away corruption.

I’m beginning to worry that this could another failed Nigerian project that never took off the ground. One would expect that eight years after the land was reclaimed from the sea and the mega launching, there should have been builders, machineries moving around, making noises and a few structures completed. But instead there are just two tall buildings and a swimming pool. Can someone explain to Nigerians what’s causing the snail speed development?
VantagePoint I believe they consider themselves Nigerians. There are many of Lebanese descent in Nigeria that have been here for years and consider themselves Nigerians.
KennyU do you know your history at all?, if you don’t then click on the search aspect on UA-cam, search for doctor Henry Clark he will tell you more about your history and if you learn nothing at all you will learn one thing “YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS”
You dose know what talking about.. You just think different thing in your main.. Well, I can't say you sick or stress person okay, how can we finish building on 47 years in Nigerian.. Crazy person.. Can you still alive at that time or not??
Khalifa Ive heard near the end of 2029, but others stating earlier dates. Construction has sped up recently so, I’d assume more building will start soon since the infrastructure has been updated.
@Baba Tea Big city as Lagos doesn't need independent power supply. We Nigerians don't see the investment opportunity in Nigeria rather other countries. The money our politicians have stolen is enough to build those infrastructures.
Baba Tea illiterates just love running their mouths 🤦♂️ I’m sure he doesn’t even know power is centralised and shared in Nigeria. That’s why we’re all suffering epileptic supply
Baba Tea majority of Nigerians are mumus my brother. They themselves have no idea how to govern a country. This guy is a perfect example. Everyday they come online to preach the same rhetoric about how all the money politicians have stolen is enough to turn all of Nigeria into Dubai blah blah we should be this and that by now 😒 Anyways I’m glad this project is privately funded, little room for corruption. Plus I trust Ronald.
Baba Tea eko atlantic will have independent power supply meaning no interruption. Nigeria shares the meagre amount of electricity they generate which is very bad. If power was decentralised, some states will have constant electricity whilst others won’t unless they increase their capacity by building power plants, albeit very expensive. You can read up on this more if you want. Knowledge is power. Don’t join the 200 million mumus we have in Nigeria. Awaken !
experiment0003 the chagourys are Lebanese not pure blood white. Also for your information they are Nigerians their grandfather migrated to Nigeria in the 1940s so these guys are not your regular white foreigners
A lot of the investment comes from his family. You do know he’s a member of what is now one of the richest families in the world. Plus he has partners like Dangote cement etc. I’m not sure what your point was, a project like this can either be done properly or rushed, like so much of the crap in and around Lagos. This approach, with actual planning, is refreshing.
C S that’s not the point. Your original comment suggested that they were somehow fleecing investors. Just a cursory look at the progress made so far shows that the project is moving apace. The Chaghoury family, Dangote cement and other partners have a vested interest, just as with all of the other investors. So it would seem that you don’t know what you’re talking about. The fact is that this is a complicated project and rushing it like so much of the other nonsense in Nigeria would lead to disaster. Secondly, as you seem to be alluding to whilst contradicting yourself, the project requires a vast amount of financing and there were delays in securing all of the financing. If you knew anything about how projects of this size are financed, everywhere in the world, financing for this sort of thing is incredibly complicated.
C S PS, the Chagoury family is Nigerian and has very long ties to the country. A lot of their financing and their partners are black. Nigeria is a melting pot of lots of different people and the Lebanese community is well established, with some tracing their arrival in Nigeria to the first and second decade of the twentieth century.
C S you do talk absolute nonsense. We live in a globalised world and there are black, Arab, Iranian architects in charge of and spearheading massive projects in the UK, the US and across the world. One of the most famous architects in the UK is of Ghanaian descent. Does that mean that Europeans can’t do the same? This sort of backward nonsense is exactly what keeps us Nigerians behind. This project is a great idea and it has been backed by lots of Nigerian investors and in fact the idea of expanding the project(which helped to delay it) came from the then governor of Lagos. I am not trying to impress anyone, let alone someone like yourself who simply types away but what have you done to bring about Nigeria’s progress. The Chagoury family is Nigerian and they are proud of that fact and have put together a consortium to do something impressive. When you do something equally useful then you won’t seem quite as ridiculous.
This is very exciting. Many people are watching this development from all over the world
PUBLIC transport is what will make this city thrive, particularly Trains, try and replicate a train system similar to hong kong London or Singapore
You need to re-watch the video, and this time listen carefully
You are so right if they truly want to keep traffic low then it's truly necessary that they have train transport city.
They mentioned in another video water taxi, but tram or electric bus probably better.
Monorail would be cool.
I love this but please get rid of that annoying background music or turn it down.

Nice one Ronald! Can’t wait to check it out when I visit Lagos! Let’s take Naija to the world 🌍

I pray for the good plans to come to fruition and even better in Jesus name. Amen

Where are the other buildings? It’s been the same buildings for years now.

Really, not. He is correct a city that size will take 20 to 30 years.

Tabs T man this is a working understand ok
It’s private investment, no government funding. More construction has been going on recently so it seems to be speeding up. Only time will tell.
And who’s editing the sound of this clip, couldn’t hear the rest of the interview.
