By the end of the video i couldn't understand if i'm watching future mega projects or the rise of China's global dominance.

Not mentioned, although probably the most important and global joint project:
Fusion reactor development (ITER)

[Aaronaa]

Wow this editing is beautiful! It must have taken forever!

[EnjoyFirefighting]

strange that they didn't mention the $47 BN coastel highway in Norway with floating tunnels and floating bridges. It's for sure not as large as some other projects he mentioned, but for sure larger than a stadium ^^

After "Fun with Flags" this is the most informative content across all internet. Terrific job. Can't even imagine how many hours of video searching, plot, original text writting, montage it took

[gamingtop]

Very interesting and great video; however, what's up with biased as hell propaganda in it?

[RichterBelmont]

We seriously need more people like Mr. Akiwunmi Ambode to actually runs the government instead of being in there just to play politics and sucks commoner dries.

The best feature of YouTube. Two thumbs upsss!!

[javierserrano]

YOU SHOULD DO A VISEO UPDATE ON THESE PROJECTS, LIKE A WHERE ARE THEY NOW

[knobjockey]

I came for the megaprojects, I lol'ed at the politics.

This was the fastest 46 minutes in my life.

Great video; however, please do not spread misconceptions about nuclear energy. This kind of energy source is one of the most reliable, and although there have been some disasters in the past, overall the number of deaths caused by producing one Kwh from nuclear is the lowest. Nuclear energy could truly be the panacea for climate change

the sheer amount of research and depth in this video is insane. *thank you* for creating this and I really hope you guys continue to grow as a channel.

Wish there was a more neutral commentary....

Awesome work. Don't let them censor you. I wish the best for Africa. A better Africa means a better world.
