htownbro Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Once complete, it will rival skylines of cities like Dubai, New York and Singapore. It will be built in 6 phases and have 10 districts! This may be the next hot destination in the world for travelers! https://youtu.be/3RMG2EkLkC0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I've seen this a few years ago? Nigeria has been getting wealth from China right? China has been investing billions on infrastructure, etc. Maybe I'm thinking of something else. Looks great, but it sure will be lots of work!

They have been spreading investment out around the globe a lot recently. Seems like a big step for Nigeria, if it comes to pass, hopefully it helps everyone out.

htownbro Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 Two of the Eko Pearl Towers have already been completed. I think it will be a total of 4 or 5 towers. Yea, it seems like it is taking forever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH3 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Will it make Nigeria a major tourist destination like Dubai did for the United Arab Emirates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It will never live up to the billing, and there's not enough money there to make it work the way things work in Dubai. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Oh my I lived in Lagos just after 9/11, when literally there wasn’t a single traffic light -really not one traffic signal in the largest city in Africa. I am told that at least has been installed since I departed. Still it strains my imagination that there would ever be enough money thrown at Nigeria to alleviate the traffic chaos. When I lived there, most Nigerians spent around 25% of their day involved in traffic. Even after all this time and a best case scenario(rare in Nigeria, where Murphy’s Law seems tailor made for what goes on) of of cutting time spent in traffic down by 50%........not many tourist would find that appealing, no matter how pretty those towers are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
