Everyone I know who has taken this route tells me that the wait times at the borders are horrendous. I hope that is something they can resolve and make more efficient.
The actual line of the West African coastal Megalopolis is Abidjan to Douala, stretching through the Southern Nigerian coastline into littoral Cameroon, not Abidjan to Lagos. After Lagos, there are still several huge Nigerian urban centres dotting the coastline, some even bigger than some of the cities situated on the urban line between Abidjan and Lagos, for example, Port Harcourt. This would become even more important after the entire Nigerian coastline is connected by a super Highway which will run parallel to the coast from the Lagos Metropolis in its western end to Calabar on its eastern end, a project which the Nigerian government has already commenced.
Thank you for your insightful comment! You’re absolutely right about the extent of the West African coastal Megalopolis. The connection from Abidjan to Douala and the impact of the Nigerian coastal super highway are indeed significant. Your points about Port Harcourt and other major urban centers are well-taken. 🌍🚧
Thank you for your comment! Actually, the route from Abidjan to Lagos is known as the Trans-West African Coastal Highway, not the Trans-Atlantic Motorway. 🌍🛣
There are many ground breaking going on now you can go and check even the biggest USA consulate is currently going on now. you know it take time to sand fill because it was one’s a sea before
Thanks for sharing your experience! 🌟 Eko Atlantic is definitely a work in progress, but it’s great to hear about your long-term stay at the Eko Hotel. 🏨🌴
@@TrillionTrillion-st3sm Nigeria coastal line is already under construction. Do you think other neighbouring countries have the funds to construct such a magnitude of coastline road?
Urbanization is only impressive when accompanied by actual well thought-out PLANNING!! Sadly a lot of the urbanization discussed in this video will be dominated by unplanned settlements and poor infrastructure. Also, a growing population of people with no access to good schooling, healthcare, potable water is a disaster waiting to happen.
Thank you for your comment! While it's true that developing Accra is crucial, progress in other regions is also essential for overall growth. 🌍 Let's hope for balanced development across Ghana! 🇬🇭✨
Emerging markets in Africa boosts economic growth These countries need to concentrate from now housing transport education health media internet and other infrastructure services banking insurance
Thank you for your comment! 🌍 You're absolutely right-focusing on housing, transport, education, health, and infrastructure is crucial for sustainable growth in emerging markets. 📈🏠🚆📚💉
The urban transformations and development... C'est indéniablement une ligne du futur qui va transformer l'Afrique dans les années à venir. Cette vidéo est vraiment instructive ! ✨✨✨✨
Extend it from Lagos to Calabar. Our new President has started a new project to build a highway from Lagos - Calabar, can't believe you missed that out. The project has started already and the regions between Lagos and Calabar are excited for the upcoming developments coming their way.
Few head ups: 1- Law and order in society and stable government is important for growth. 2- Education, Education, Education. 3- Don‘t get confused between old school "Colonialism" and modern concept of "Globalisation and Supply Chain". Don‘t be Xenophobic, and back to tribalism. 4- Stay away from Extreme religions and extreme political idealogy. Focus on economic growth and nothing else. 5- Work hard. ☺😊
It absolutely has the potential to be a major economic are in the future. However, stability and corruption has been Africa's Achilles heel for decades. Multiple neighboring countries has had military coups and there's a real possibility of war in the area. Those factors will continue to gold this region back until Africa can promote real and lasting stabily.
Neo colonialism of this area must end, but we can see from this video why the USA & EU, specifically France, want to hang on. Africa must expand & grow for the benefit of Africans.
Whilst just as any other nation or area that thrives, I'm glad for the peoples sake. However i also worry about potential overcrowding or less water or food availability as well.. hoping for the best in the future! Edit: climate change is also a huge concern, Africa will be one of the worse effected regions.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! 🌍 You raise valid concerns about overcrowding and resource availability. Climate change is indeed a significant issue, and it's crucial for all of us to work towards sustainable solutions. Let's stay hopeful and proactive for a positive future! 🌱
the population growth of nigeria would be the death of the country. they do not have people resources to develop their country nearly as much as its population growth. they need to stop the uncontrollable growth if they dont want to choke the little resources they have. sad.
What makes a Nation Great is the Leadership !!! I challenge that White Voice to explain to me what Qualities, what Values, what Actions, what Ideology explain the Greatness of the Leaders in those countries that White is talking about. For a country to become relevant, it needs a Leadership comparable to that of Japan, South Korea, China, Russia, Cuba, Vénézuela of late Chavez or the Leadership of the US even though it's a Force of Terror. Who are those who are ruling most African countries ? Nationalist Leaders or Puppets, Traitors, their own Populations vomit ? Don't you insult Our Intelligence with your ridiculous pseudo analysis of those African countries you've chosen.
Uhmmmmm. I agree with you. But If you watch the entire video you will notice that they mentioned the question of colonialism and government. The CFA Franc and other issues.
Despite being made by a white guy, the video has its importance to spark some useful insights to those stooges and young generations who will replace these old western puppets! Most the are above 80 years old now. They will disappear in 5 to 10 years!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Leadership is indeed crucial to a nation's greatness. It's important to consider a variety of perspectives when evaluating leadership qualities and their impact on a country’s success. Respectful dialogue helps us all understand these complex issues better. 🌍
Greatly put together. Congratulations. I was thinking we could do better with a pan Reginal Railway for speed (no traffic congestion), more volumes of goods, cheap cost per passenger and low pollution.
A railroad should have been built decades ago. The Chinese could build it in a year but it is not going to happen since all the governments want to keep the countries isolated and the borders closed. Their incomes depend on custom revenues.
Thank you for your comment. While it's true that infrastructure projects can be complex, many factors contribute to their development. Governments often have multiple considerations, including economic and political factors. Your perspective is appreciated! 🚆🌍
