Kgdavid: The the posts are not factual The population of Nairobi and all its residents is 3.1 Million. That includes Kibera. http://www.nation.co.ke/news/1056-1000340-158pf00/index.html The op says that Kibera is 2.5 million in population. Something is wrong with his source because thats almost the entire Nairobi population.. Some of the Nairobi slums represented here are not even 500m square km. Explorer is being dishonest. 1 Like |

DriveByKiller: @the bolded, I know who you are. You didn't need to switch to an alternate. About me descending to tribal slur, what remark did you give your brother that lumped everywhere in lagos a slum? And Mr. Explorer, the list been an international one doesn't mean it isn't wrong Sir, what would you say about Ilaje and shomolu? Even though the Ilaje is in shomolu? So much for an international list Gala sellers abound in all cities in Nigeria, but they cause more nuisance in Lagos than all cities. You should know that. I created a thread on some of the nuisance they and other hawkers cause in lagos sometimes back. Check my topic history. Now back, to Mr Nairaland issue, I stated on the last day of the contest that about the tribal issue on here, it is all for fun to me. If you are going to remind me every time i go tribal that I contested for Mr Nairaland, I guess you better get prepared, it is a long journey. |

The only hope and solution is birth control. The resources to cater for our booming population is simply not there. Legalizing abortion and making birth control pills available are the first steps. Then marriage and child bearing should be de-emphasized so we can have a saner society. 1 Like |

gabe:nairobi population is 4 million.... kibera occupies 6% of total landmass in nairobi city,... it is physically and virtually impossible for 2.5 million people (a majority) to live in 6% of the area.. the UN and aid organisation like to quote the +1million so they can get more money, but kibera population hardly makes it biggest nywhere http://www.nation.co.ke/news/Kibera-numbers-fail-to-add-up/1056-1003404-lma0qz/index.html other statistics also dint support that like http://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/news/2558-1167238-yfenqc/index.html http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Kenya-retail-sector-second-most-formalised-in-Africa/539552-3081468-h2qomiz/index.html 3 Likes |

Kgdavid:According to World Population Review, Lagos has a population of about 21millilon pipo, out which up to 66% are living in slums. That therefore follows that Lagos infact has more slums than Nairobi, even though none may be as big as Kibera. But then again, just like in Kibera's case, that m,ay be an exaggeration. And then according to this list Kenya has more than double the amount of major slums as Nigeria, despite having a much lower population.Most of the claim regarding the Kibera population size are in fact untrue, they are merely propaganda spread by the aid agencies operating in that place to shock and jolt the donors into giving more aid to support their cause. They are pretty much fleecing the donors. You can read for your self the following expose by the The Guardian Newspaper The claim about Kibera's population being at around 2.5million was first appeared in 2005, yet then, Nairobi population was hardly 3million! Nobody noticed the inconsistency in that claim until much later. It is sad, as even stated in that Guardian report, it is alleged that some government officials are in fact involved in this whole scam of presenting the exaggerated report s about the size of population in that slum, as well as the terrible conditions of living in that place (even Oprah had once claimed that the residents depend on the dirty sewages as their source of water which was in fact grossly untrue), all with the intention of swindling the donors. Now, according to the census which was conducted in 2009, it was revealed that the population of Kibera was actually much smaller than as it was always claimed. at only 170,000, not anywhere near 1million pipo! https://www.google.com/search?q=2009+cencus+kibera+population&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b 1 Like |

Dont mind these people, there are some slums in other continents that are far worst than the ones in africa, but as na africa everybody go believe, cos they tink all the bad things are traced to africa. If they wants to rate top most developed cities of the world, african cities will only come out when cities in other continents have finished. If we learn tu appreciate ourself, maybe oneday others wil appreciate us. I see some nigerians shouting kenya! Kenya!! But what dere dont know is dat kenya is in africa and nigeria is also in africa. If we dont learn to stand by each other, then who will? Am a nigerian and i just want to make common sense... Thanks! 1 Like |

photoshoot:Switch to an alternate? For you? Your voodooist is giving you false report or you believe your own misplaced hype. You have not the faintest idea who I am any more than you can predict who will be Nigeria's president in 2019. photoshoot:Brother? Aren't you so presumptuous? photoshoot:If you blame gala sellers for the slum in Lagos then I must say your position is naive, ill-thought out and very uninformed. Makoko is made of mainly foreigners from other west African countries who settled there but the government of Lagos should take the fall not the inhabitants. I know you're oblivious of this fact. How many gala sellers are there in Lagos, a city of roughly 19/20 million people? that's roughly the entire population of Ghana (25m). Gala sellers are responsible for slums? Who's then responsible for building those shanties and dingy shacks all over Makoko, ilaje and so? Yes gala sellers bought the land and built those Woden structures all over those places. Why are the gala sellers in Lagos so peculiar, seeing that they abound in port Harcourt, Onitsha, Kaduna and every other major city in Nigeria? Why do you deny facts and truth. Channel your writing into solving the problems and take responsibility. Do not find blame. It is the easiest and least noble thing to do. photoshoot:there are over 6 billion humans on earth and everything you say about this country and her people here is open to all of humanity, now and forever. Saying it's a joke only heightens your insensitivity and irresponsibility. And if you will keep vying for positions with this kind of unbridled comments and claim it's just for gag, then you have a long, winding path to travel. 1 Like 1 Share |

EzeNri:are u mentally unstable or u just felt like displaying some madness. 50% of all the slums I'm Lagos are places that Igbo people stay. 60% of southeast are villages why 39.5% of southeast are slums the remaining 0.5% are just town. there is no such thing call a city in the whole of Southeast. the pollution and dirty in southeast is next to none in the whole wide planet earth. but in the southwest the slums are mostly inhabited by igbos and other people with few Yoruba people and u can only find slums in 20% of Lagos and 6% of Ibadan after that there is no such thing as slum in the southwest 60% of southwest is industrial hub. with the massive infrastructural in the southwest and with the smart city that is been built now southwestern Nigeria alone would be a mighty economic giant on its own. the economy of the slums in Lagos ALONE is bigger than the total economy of the southeast put together. you should hide your head in shame |
