THAT LIST IS GARBAGE AND LIES.

WHERE IS JOHANNESBURG, NAIROBI, CAIRO?

EVEN LAGOS SHOULD BE THERE.

THEY ARE TRYING TO CLAIM THAT COLOMBIA HAS MORE SKYSCRAPERS THAN ANYWHERE IN AFRICA?

WHICH COLOMBIA?

NONSENSE.

It's like you are mistaking High-rise buildings for Skyscrapers. A skyscraper should be up to 150m tall and only NECOM tower in Lagos meets that criteria at 160m tall in the whole Country.

That was when I realized our Yoruba brothers have taking this lie lie of a thing
To another height

What we have in Lagos and maybe many African countries is high rise buildings not skyscraper.
Modern sources currently define skyscrapers as being at least 100 meters (330 ft) or 150 meters (490 ft) in height, though there is no universally accepted.

Nonsense.

''A skyscraper is a tall, continuously habitable building having multiple floors. Modern sources currently define skyscrapers as being at least 100 meters ....in height, though there is no universally accepted definition, other than being very tall high-rise buildings.''

Keep shut. You don't know what you're talking about.

Your own quote PROVES that the numerous buildings which are over 100 metres in African cities are legitimately termed skyscrapers.
