Nigeria is simply beautiful. Nigeria the country just like its people i love the BOLDNESS
I got lost driving inside Eko Atlantic once😄....huge place
I'm presently working in Eko Atlantic City in lagos Victoria island.. as a HSE Advisor
That’s amazing
Love your content so much yeah if you come to Nigeria I swear you never gonna regret it so beautiful much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬
Much love! Thank you!
This is why we are calling all our missing family in the diaspora around the globe 🌎 to come back home to build a better Africa, our own original habitat. Shout out to our missing families, the Africa Americans, the Caribbeans, those in Brazil, and around the globe 🌎. All we can say is we love you and we can't wait to finally reunite as one African family ❤ peace.
🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬❤️❤️❤️❤️ A proud Nigerian! We are expecting you guys in Nigeria soon
it's still under construction cos it's a really massive project the US are also building their biggest american embassy there as we speak but some of the buildings there are already in use i guess
Yeap! I'm Nigerian 🇳🇬
Eko Atlantic City is going to be lit 🔥. It will attract investors and tourists from all over the world just like Dubai.
I went to this Eko Atlantic City back in 2022 but I was denied entering into the city 🙄😂
I wanted to see how far they have gone but I saw some beautiful buildings inside. Eko Atlantic City is amazing! 💜
Why were you denied?😅
@@TheDemouchetsREACT Perhaps he didn't present his I. D card.
They prevent people from entering because of terrorism attack. But if you tell them your mission or you want to visit one of the restaurants there, they will allow you.
Its a gated community, you must have a destination to get in. it's not a tourist location for security reasons
Abuja was just a forest, it was built from scratch to what it is today, the military government during the 70s to 80s decided to build a new capital so as to free up Lagos, as it has become too populated and congested.
Yes and Abuja today is more organized and beautiful than some European cities. That is the truth. There are cities in some African countries, much more beautiful than some European cities. Even though they robbed Africa to build those European cities.
@@59Ifasola Which European cities are you speaking of?
@@livingforever6157 I tire for am oh 😂😂
Big ups to you guys for showing the world this is Africa Naija 2 the world 🌎
❤❤ Much love!
This is a huge project with a lot of capital. They started with dredging, filling, and building. It will take years to complete.
Yeah, at least a decade more before it's fully built up.
It is only in Nigeria we take donkeys years to finish project
Banana island is in the Lagos island area, we also have the Lagos Mainland, the airport is in Ikeja, Lagos mainland.
Yes, but there is a new airport being built at Lekke that will serve Eko Atlântic city
@@59Ifasola Lekki…they haven’t started construction yet…they will start this year.
Right now, you're the best covering Nigeria. Pleaseeeee continue. NIGERIANS are the best . TRUST me ! I am from West Africa. LIBERIA. Nigerians love class, it now our New York now.
Love this for Afrika! Imagine if similar scale projects were done all countries on the continent
It's expensive, a night at one of the apartment was so good I thought I was in heaven, the city is not completed yet, other buildings still at finishing touches . But I must say is for the rich .
😅
The Poor has no life to enjoy in this world.😂😂😂😂 RTID
@@nmg1909 Goan work
I watch you guys so much to an extent that everytime I open CZcams , you guys pop up first
I like how proud you both look watching this. Yep we are doing big things on the motherland. I’m in the U.K. and I’m planning to start going to Lagos / back next year.
Great contents guys.....really wish you could visit Nigeria very soon....much love from here.
The land used to be part of Victoria Island in the 50's and 60's but floodings ran more than half over and it has now been reclaimed but it's too expensive
I am an African and I live in Africa but I don't know this place. Big up to you Fam. You are exposing us to things about our continent that we don't even know. I have only been to 3 African countries Botswana, Zambia and Mozambique. I feel we also have a lot of learning to do. I love this, I love Africa. The place is exquisite 🔥
That is Nigeria
@@yeboskinana6276🤣🤣🤣
❤❤ We love to hear this!
And you don't live in Africa, just mention the country🤦♀️
It's in building process but buy property their is quite expensive
That’s where you are from guys - Africa - Hope you are standing proud. ✊🏿
It's beyond reconstruction now,it now almost a city...
It will be home to the biggest American foreign embassy in the world... Check the news of last year, America announced it..
You're right. The US is building its biggest embassy on Earth in Eko Atlantic. Just over half a billion dollars it's costing.
Wow! Didn't know this.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT don’t believe that it’s not true
@@dimegi1558 my dear go and do your research
Nigeria is divided into six geopolitical zone and the six geopolitical has natural resource in abundant like gold, diamond, gas oil and many other resource all over Nigeria.
How many of its wealth are spread to ordinary people?
Nigeria has the potential to be among the top 10 economies in the world.
It does, and they have a plan to get there. Right now they're the 30th biggest economy out of the 216 nations, which is quite impressive for a still-developing African nation.
The airport is not that far but the traffic makes it look far and a new airport is already been built on the island closer to the Eko Atlantic
This is an old documentary. Eco Atlantic has really developed further
It's all connected it's also very close to Banana island, 10mins with free traffic
React to lakowe lake city and golf is also located at Lagos u will love the place for vacation the place ur different from the hustle and bustle of Lagos and eko Atlantic have changed a lit this is old video love you guys ❤️❤️❤️
The city is planning another airport closer the food is good all types of foods available for your enjoyment
Thank you finally you guy's are reacting on eko atilantic
as for the airport the lagos state government have started the construction of a new airport on the island
Also check out the centenary city in FCT..... Nigeria is great and very beautiful
Yea i have visited the centenary city its nice
Another Airport is being built at Epe international Airport. Not too far to Eko Altlantic
Approved but not statted
Muttalah Muhammad airport is more closer to Eko Atlantic.
More blessings king & Queen… let go Naija 🇳🇬❤️🙌🏽
The project is still going on
My opinion.
Nigeria have terribly bigger issues that needs to be solved and can be solved easily and fast ash, am a born and raised Nigerian. With all the resources we all know and those that are being kept secret that we have... Nigeria alone can be TOP 5 best country in the Galaxy! 😄 ( IT AIN'T FUNNY THO) It's a shame to say I have never witnessed light/electricity/power flow for atleast five days straight, Talk about roads, health, security, right now we are buying money in Nigeria!!!
I'll still raise my flag regardless 🇳🇬
This is beautiful🔥🔥🔥
Nigeria 🇳🇬 to the world 🌎
Talking about making cities in an office, the current capital Abuja is just that. Equatorial Guinea is doing a new capital from scratch too
I was at the beach soccer tournament, was covering for my magazine company then.
12:34 That tower looks exactly like Prism Tower Nairobi.
2006 was the sea wall.
Now they have completed a few of the projects like eko pearl.
But I Think it’s somewhat expensive for the people on the ground. Primarily for diasporans - I think.
I think Microsoft is there as well.
It’s next door to Banana island. 😀 both eco Atlantic and banana island are in VI - Victoria island Lagos.
Not too far from Lekki and the same road leads to the new pet and new airport.
It's called Eko Atlantic, not Eco Atlantic.
@@waleidris-giwa3298 potatoe potato 😀🤣
The airport is in Mainland --Ikeja. I think it's about 40 miles without traffic. But the Lagos state government currently building 2nd International airport in Island.
This videos very old too, check out the update video
The giant is rising 🇳🇬
Though you don’t need another airport to connect, but the federal government is starting a new airport around the area
Yes there’s a whole lot of fish because it’s closer to where the fishing boats land
African IS a future
Tayo Aina has a video on recent eko Atlantic where he when inside the building
The various islands in Lagos are connected to the mainland by bridges. You may not notice that you are going to/from an island.
Great
Check the new built Lagos new sea Port. Just commissioned in January 2023.
There’s an even larger one in Senegal called “ Diamniadio”
Eko Atlantic is not far from banana island lest than 5min drive and the airport is in the main land why eko Atlantic is in the island
Martha’s Vineyard is not connected to the main land. You either take a ferry or fly there.
virtually all of the land reclamation is done. So, it's the above ground construction that is still in progress. Some if the structures are complete, so Eko Atlantic is already inhabited in pockets.
Amsterdam, did the same thing and the city is called Almere
Banana island and Èkó Atlántíkì are both at the island they are somehow close about 15 minutes drive
You gotta check out the Petronia city of Ghana which was initiated by Cheddar,he’s a Ghanaian millionaire.
Can you send us links?
@@TheDemouchetsREACT He can't, because it's all on paper.
This was built inside the ocean, the land is extra expensive. The water never went down, it was refilled with ocean sand, as that portion of land was taken over by the ocean over years. But the sea shore is taking over a lot of other parts beside this city. You need to be on a different scale to get land there.
LAGOS as, a whole is a swampy land and is mostly reclaimed especially the Islands in Lagos.
Banana Island is in Ikoyi beside the Lagoon. Eko Atlantic is by the Atlantic ocean about 1 hour apart as a result of traffic ( for approximate miles, google can assist.) The airport is on the other end of Lagos state. About 3 hours mostly because of the bad traffic
The New airport will be 15 mins
Love you ❤❤❤❤guys so much
lol, it's not completed yet it will take a long time because they reclaimed the land from the ocean. But its a point where building are been built on the land
Yeah have been there it was a nice place to live presently they are building there international airport....
Konza in Kenya will be another great city
About 5 sky scrappers have been completed... While 10 sky scrappers are presently under construction
This is an old video of the city. They have lots of beautiful buildings now. They slowed down in 2019 to late 2021 due to covid. Pls react to lakowe gulf resort also in Lagos
The airport is very close, it is also linked with the roads, it is for the the big boys secondly over 250k workers will be coming in for work each day, 250k inhabitants as well. It will be an economy drive for Africa. More cities like Eko Atlantic are come up in Nigeria. They have one now in Abuja the capital of Nigeria is called CENTENARY CITY ABUJA, try and see how it looks like. You guys can buy land there as well. In Ebonyi state, they have a new city like as well, they have quite numerous City like that in Nigeria.
It has its own airport, and it’s still under construction
I'm from Benin city Nigeria 🇳🇬 but everything you see right there was not all they are more beautiful than that now
No lying, bro and sis, it's taking for ever to build!!! But it's still going on.
For your information. The American Embassy is being built on the land.
It’s beautiful here
Lekki-Epe international airport will serve Eko Atlantic City and its surroundings, construction works will commence in 2023
I think you should check centenary city Abuja
The airport is about an hour away, on a no-traffic day...which is hardly ever! Another airport is going to be built not too far away from this location...that should be nearer. And there is a helicopter service that has its landing facilities about 15 minutes from Eko Atlantic. Water would be another way to get in and out without the encumbrance of traffic. Several options for arrivals or departure
You can use the boat to the airport
The Eko atlantic city has it"s own airport
Check out the Lagos mainland area and the Lagos rail project. Also the Dangote refinery project.
Can you send us links?

@@funmilayomensah6254 are you a Ghanaian or both naija and ghana 😂😂
@@tundebakare6887 mixed ancestry, I’m a Lagosian.
@@funmilayomensah6254 OK, i see
How do we get you to react to Lakowe Lakes and Golf Estates!
When this is finished, Lagos will be like the NYC of Nigeria.
No it won't.
@@livingforever6157 and why do you disagree?
@@Nonchalant_248 because NYC is organized. It has working infrastructure. It doesn't have the open sewers or faulty electricity. There are strong lending infrastructures for small businesses and potential homeowners. Domestic big businesses want to invest in the city. International business people want to invest AND reside in NYC. Few of those things are happening in Lagos or Eko. The Nigerian elite wants investors to build eko while disregarding the very people that would make the city viable. Investors have practiced extracting from Nigeria and much of Africa with minimal physical presence. Question, assuming these investors move into eko, where would they go when they get bored? Old Lagos, Centenary City, the dilapidated city of Ibadan, the overcrowded city of Kano, the unsafe areas of the northeast(maiduguri)? The investors have little vision. For the success of Dubai, there are the failures of Forest City Malaysia, and ghost cities in Egypt.
Please react to tayo aina or steve ndukwu video on eko Atlantic because this is old video
I'm disappointed as a Nigerian because an average Nigerian cannot afford this life style right now. The government has failed the citizens so miserably.
Rest ijn
@@flexy6496 Rest wetin...how does Eko Atlantic benefit the average Lagosian or Nigerian? If you say employment, its a only a small number who would have "high paying" jobs there sef, the rest would be serving the wealthy who will live there.
There is no world class or even average standard hospital, road or transport system, water system or even school in that Lagos created by the government for its people after more 60 years of independence!
@@ifeoluwakuyoro3250 employment it common sense
@@ifeoluwakuyoro3250
Eko Atlantic is private and privately funded. If you can't afford it, Please rest.
@@Southernview3k lol as if mismanaged public funds aren't a part of the private funds. Even when i can afford it, i would not touch that kind of place with my money...there are better assured real estate investments elsewhere. Lagos isn't the only commercial capital in Africa or the world!
A new airport is being built to serve the residents of the island.
Eko Atlantic City is connected to the main city in Victoria Island... I know someone who has a property already in Eko Atlantic City
I just can't imagine not being a nigerian as an African.
Like 10 -20 mins from banana island.
There's an airport is 20 mins away. Lekki Free trade zone airport
America government is building the largest CONSULATE in the world in this Eko Atlantic City. Many Financial institutions have bought lands already. Some are building while others are yet to build.
Eko Atlantic is NOT an Island in that sense, you can drive right up to it, from any part of Lagos, save for a bridge or two in certain parts.
its far from the airport. The airport is on the mainland but there are plans to build an airport on the island.
No my dear - it looks better than Miami. 🤣🤣🤣 Africa is lit right now as in lit up. 😄😄
Really???
It's pronounced lay-gos not whatever Bill Clinton said 🤣🤣😁
Nigerians are the smartest people on earth
The American embassy has the biggest land in Eko Atlantic city
Work is still going there
In Lagos everything is possible. The city gives New York, Miami and L.A vibes and I'm proud to be born in Lagos😂😂😂❤
Check out centenary city in Abuja. Both projects are really slow, but we shall get there..
