Nigeria is coursed

Constantin:
Nairobi capital of Kenya. It is one of Africa´s most modern cities and it lloks fine! However, it is a pity that it looks more modern than Lagos and Kenya hasn´t got any oil or natural gas!

Simply beautiful cities but why is Kenya still having so many slums despite all these structures that are been put to place?

Kenya still has many pipo living in slums cos its still a developing country. These fancy buildings dont mean much about the living standards of the pipo./ Around 40% of Kenyans live in poverty.

However, it is only around 20% of Nairobi that is covered with slums. Much of the city consists of such residential suburbs or estates.

Kenya's Olympic 800m champion David Rudisha posts a photo of himself on Facebook, which immediately goes viral.
The caption reads: "Many are used to seeing me on running outfits, but this is the other look outside the track! Proud Police Officer. #?Loveyourjob."

There are many reasons.First is lack of cheap affordable housing, rural to urban migration, income inequality and land cartels.Most slums are illegally on government property.It's a challenge but we are trying.

it's good you are trying in every means to tackle the challenge because it's really painting the image of your beautiful country negative. You people should try and make the houses affordable o.

There is lack of political goodwill, wish us luck.

Zawadi:
I couldn't agree with traveller more! Most people HAVE missed the point. It's not about showing only the nice part of Nairobi City where I have grown up and incidentally spent all my years to date. It is very sad to see that the only pictures shown in the international circles are those of a pathetic dismal habitation to the point that people living abroad are literlly afraid to come any where near Africa! Yes, we do have slums and no one disputes that but we have seen enough of slums; after all that has been the favourite topic of all photographers! There is a nicer cleaner part of Nairobi that must be shown side to side with the slums. These are not even the very best of Nairobi, there is more. Then there is the countryside, dry lands, wet lands. It is a rich country and I can attest to that being Kenyan. And Ogza, I have to admit that I too was impressed by that camera! Or is it because the pictures were taken by someone who really appreciated the country thus reflecting the emotions?

The comparison here is in the advanced developed of cities, both Kenya and Nigeria, not wether or not Kenya has slums. Slums are everywhere but, they don't eliminate the fact that the well know city "Lagos/ Abuja" as the Op pointed out, is nothing compared to Nairobi
