We call them 'sweet mouth talkers'. They easily capture the weak minded. 🤣🤣🤣

@lj_lugano9856 Imagine if the naira loses more value in 10 - 15yrs from now under more corrupt govts. That will certainly have more negative impact on the growth of the city..lol 🤣

@mademenchronicles2335 Hahaha..😆 i'm sure 'emi lokan' got a nice bountiful sum out of it. I may be wrong though.

@skepticbb93 I doubt if she will care to take up a job about the greater good of the nigerian people. She's more inclined to the greater good of the "uber" rich because it pays her better financially..lol 🤣🤣🤣

@AfroVistaChronicles001 What billionaires are you talking about, nigerians or foreigners? Most Nigerian billionaires are struggling to make ends meet now because of the terrible economic situation in the country. Foreign billionaires don't see any reason to make lagos Nigeria, their home when it has very little to offer. They prefer Dubai, Maimi, Florida, Venice, etc. Igbo billionaires's real estate properties are always targeted by yoruba state govts for demolition for all kinds of fake excuses and so, they will not buy land of $2.5million in a place like lagos anymore. If you're a billionaire will you put all your hard earned $2.5million on 1 empty land property existing in one place, when you can buy 10 fully built properties of $250,000 (N360million each) all over the country?..😑

@Fernandosantanajr83 Do you know that Toyota cars are sold in so many factories owned by Toyota all over the world and they all have different prices for the SAME model car? The price of a corolla in Japan is not the same as in the US, which is also not the same in Mexico. Why is that?
3
@jamerarubiano In the US, buying a car for $3,000 or $30,000 is quite easy because of the access to bank facilities and repayment takes 1yr to 4, 5yrs. In Nigeria no such finance facility exists for a person to buy a car like that. It is available to only corporate businesses. This is the dilemma nigerians are faced with. That is why used cars which are far cheaper will always be preferred. 😐

It was a very stupid idea, from the very beginning. I doubt if the govt at the time, connected with local Urban & Regional planners to help out. If they did, they would have provided the best, affordable alternative city plan to solve Lagos many urban city problems. Lagos State is a megalopolis, a state with over 20million people on a small land mass, so many of its citizens are living in massive slums on both the island and mainland. The best solution and the most cost effective, would have been to embark on urban renewal, urban redevelopment projects of all its residential and commercial slums, one after the other, into new modern CBDs (central business districts) with all stakeholders involved. It would have been far cheaper and much more cost effective, than this silly $6 billion Eko Atlantic city project. I am very sure this EKO scheme, came about through the influence of foreign venture capitalists without the input of Lagos city planners from the start. It will take another 20 something years for any significant progress to take place there, by then its cost estimate will continue to rise...

@topmedicalshop You're right, (not about me being delusional 😁) $100million is stretching it from $2.5million but, maybe more like $3 - $4million in 20yrs time. However, it will also be based on what the value of the naira is and if it survives that long. As this economy of ours is going, it will take an act of God to make the naira still relevant in 20yrs time. 🤣🤣

Every working citizen has a budget and he/she is very careful what they spend their money on. If this cars are not well built to withstand nigerian roads and also not affordable, no aggressive marketing will make nigerians or other africans buy it. Aggressive marketing doesn't solve these problems.

You would think these type of people will care for the needy, poor igbo people in their village by engaging in philanthropy. Alas, igbos don't think like that. It is a case of ''everyman for himself, God for us all'' mentality. So shameful and so wasteful indeed.

@mademenchronicles2335 fact..👏👏👍💯

@MrEhu3 It took you just 15mins walk from the 'City gate' to the opposite end of it, where it meets the sea? That is no City, that is just an extremely expensive glorified average size residential estate. In Lekki residential estate phase 1 (also in lagos), it will take anyone a good 30mins walk from the entrance of the estate where the gate is, to the opposite end of the estate which in the past also had a gate, but no more. One can actually call lekki phase 1, a city on its own..😀

 @SamuelObafemi It's possible to get a brand new car for that sum if it is assembled within Nigeria. It has to be a very different brand from the popular known brands around the world.
2
 @louiszaza630 That's not true. Don't lie here. Everyone buys cars according to its affordability not whether it is new and that includes foreigners.
2
 @swarseasogs6001 Only if you can get a bank loan that will help you spread the payments over several years. Can you truly get that in Nigeria? 😉

@ndukaanalogbei1043 Your knowledge of the vehicle car manufacturing industry is very shallow due to poor research on your part. Every country that manufactures cars have different ways of producing a car to fit different markets parameters. Cars for the western developed markets are usually different in standards than those for other oversea markets and yes, they are all newly built.
2
@sarah35344 That is definitely not true. Stop spreading misinformation and just do your own research. You will be shocked at how many new cars can be produced for N5million. What usually leads to high cost of cars in some cases has nothing to do with the manufacturer but the hefty import tariffs imposed on cars at the port. This is an additional cost to be borne by the buyer.

@launchtech5538 If you are really a nigerian automobile technician, explain why Innoson motors's cars that were widely bought new and used by Uber drivers in lagos some years ago disappeared from the roads and are no longer seen today? Why have they been replaced by old model Toyota cars by the same drivers of those Innoson motor cars?
2
@courtenayblair2279 I disagree totally about your assessment of the matter. As a woman, haven't you seen beautiful looking jewellery that looks and seems expensive only to discover it is not? Why not build cheap affordable nigerian cars that way? If they did that, nigerians will be blown over by its looks and affordability they will no longer stick to well known brands.
2
 @SamuelObafemi It doesn't have to, that's the point. It only needs to be well built to withstand nigerian roads.
2
Lekki was not meant to be a slum like this.With all due respect to you Lekki master plan was abused by the Tinubu govt and latter the Fashola govt in Lagos.

This was a silly dumb project from the very, very beginning. There was no need for it knowing fully well, that the same amount of money should have been spent on urban renewal projects to clear the numerous slums that lagos state is known for, to beautify the city of lagos. Eko Atlantic City is a project designed to make some questionable people very, very rich from the money they borrowed from the world bank. Now lagos is saddled with paying back the humongous money they borrowed. She is also a very good liar because no nigerian or foreigner will build a property for $$$millions in a city that has nothing to offer economically, socially, and for tourism. There is more to gained abroad than here. So sad.. 😞 😔.

@loscasablanca7722 So true..🤣🤣🤣👍💯

@rotimikayode1072 That's a lie. They're still looking for buyers. The world economy is in shambles this very moment. That place will still be empty in 10 - 15yrs time. ☺🤗🤭

@victorsolomon-vr7wl You should do more research about real estate properties, owned by very wealthy people around the world and see how their bad investment decisions buying this properties has in many cases bankrupted some of them. At the beginning, they are talked into by real estate market women like this to buy only to regret such decisions years and years later. E.g Mike Tyson bought an expensive property which he loved but, he regretted it later, sold it to 50cents, who thought he got a good deal but also regretted it and now resold to another mugu. Micheal Jordan the well known basket baller did the same thing. Now he regrets his huge expansive mansion and wants to sell it but he hasn't got a buyer yet. 😏

@topmedicalshop You have no idea of how much value appreciation nigerian properties give in return on investment. Let me educate you. In the 80s, a real estate residential property in Lagos Nigeria on 600sqm at the Victoria Island rich man's exclusive divide was worth about N50k (both land and house). Today no house in that residential area of lagos can be got for less than N550million, and that's the cheapest offer. Do the maths.

@chiefs5822 No one can sincerely predict what the state of the country's economy will be in 30yrs time. Real estate property values are known to rise and fall. Many of such exist today in lagos. Sensible intelligent billionaires don't take such risks that will likely bankrupt them and sadly this am sure is one of them. The "palms" in Dubai is such type of real estate.

But village will always remain village, not town or city..lol 😂

It is really a waste indeed. A village should not have such, imposing ostentatious houses built among poor villagers living not too far away from that place. (smh).

@chriscausey3233 Most of these vehicles assembled in nigeria have not undergone strict vehicle crash tests which is mandatory in the western countries. Watch cars undergo crash tests on youtube and see the ratings given to each one. Do you think nigerian assembled cars will pass such tests? Not a chance. 😅

@SMMiles Did you see any chinese people working in the factory as supervisors? You hate China so much, yet they excel in almost every single area of science and technology.
1
@danny208YT Yes and that's because they target the wrong buyers. If they had the masses in mind, they would have made budget affordable cars for the working class and they will be producing at least 100 cars monthly.

@andrewallen9993 Sarcasm 🤣👏👏👍

@fatfarmers7360 If you're referring to residential districts, then you're right but this is a city not a district. Therefore you're WRONG, VERY WRONG!! No where in the world does any govt allow private sector real estate investors build a whole city for the uber, uber rich (very, very rich). It is impossible and also a waste of valuable land space that would have served other important purposes for the benefit of the larger population. 🙄

The =N= 267billion internal generated revenue you qouted, i think is quite low. According to the APC led Lagos State govt, they often boast of =N= 35billion/mth internal revenue and this is not adding the allocation from the monthly Fed allocations. The truth behind all this is greed, both by the property developer and the State govt. Let me explain; if the LASG keeps truthfully to proper land use laws and regulations, in its master plan, i.e ensure the land use is developed by the land owner, for the purpose which it was bought for/meant for and not changed, home prices will not rise to ridiculous high levels. However, you will realise that illegal change of use of residential buildings for other purposes, in most cases - commercial uses, this jerks up prices of residential neighbourhood buildings as well. This is usually is the problem..i am 99% sure about this.
1
@akandwanahoraymond7581 Don't pity them, let them suffer the cost of recovery. If not for greed, they would have taken the cheaper options available to them e.g, the total urban redevelopment and transformation of all jakande housing estates in lagos into a modern, metropolitan housing estate much better and more beautiful than 1004 housing estate in V/I lagos rather than spending billions of $dollars on an Eko Atlantic city they are today struggling to sell.
1
@kunle009 Who cares? The world economy today is going through a terrible, terrible recession that is even affecting the so called "uber, uber rich" they are looking for to buy their expensive plots. Let them suffer the consequences of their actions. Why should you care? 😕

 @Mi42069 obviously you're not a nigerian, that's why you are shocked. The minimum wage in Nigeria is about $45/mth $3,000 is a lot of money in Nigeria.
1
@_UCS_SwapnilSahaiSrivastav That is not the only reason. It was an ugly car from the very beginning. In their haste to make a cheap affordable car, they sacrificed beauty and basic nice things that is pleasing to the eyes. it came out ugly and people rejected it.
1
@louiszaza630 Obviously you're not knowledgeable about foreigners in Nigeria or abroad who buy used cars enmass. I know of dozens of foreigners living in lagos Nigeria driving imported used cars and by watching youtube videos, most foreigners today especially in the US can't afford brand new cars any more. They are settling for fairly used cars now due to the US bad economy conditions.
1
@courtenayblair2279 🤣🤣🤣Ok, you're right about the cheap jewellery, you got me there. Building revenue and brand is a good thing but, that car company will end up with less buyers. 👍

@swarseasogs6001 True, very true. 👍

@josephharry8700 There is also a lot of competition from many other investors/venture capitalists like her, seeking the money of those 1% of the 1% she's targeting. Will she succeed in 10 - 15yrs time? There is a strong possibility that she will not and a large portion of that EAC land will be sold off to the State/federal govt or, another class of investors to offset accumulated debts.

She has been nigerianised lol 😂 😂😂

Come to Nigeria and live like a king. You won't regret it but, get married to a nigerian first..lol 😂😂😅
