Yes Nigeria is better in Football.....However globally Nigeria is still sh1t and has won 0 international competitions(continental competitions
dont count)

As for the Bolded? How is Nigeria better in Tennis??

FYI we we take away all the Gold medals won by "white" SAns then SA would still have more gold medals than Nigeria.........Let that sink in

rationalhuman:
Nigeria strives to engineer and control it's on destiny?? But Reality is different, Chinese, Indian, UAE investors controls you and your economy and yes that is true for Kenya and Ghana as well, Go and study all of your big companies, they are all from Foreign. Actually very Few Good Governing countries are getting benefits of real Skill development and Learning from Indian and Chinese companies are Ethiopia and Rwanda, rest all African nations can just grows banana, Coffee and Tea.

gallivant:
Cricket is bigger in Africa than the NBA. It's just how it is. Worldwide it's much more popular than the NBA.

Shma:
nice, let's start with pic one.
I just finished my research about it and I can tell that that city is planned, the rate of urban planning applied in that city is not a joke. Zoom the pic and see those houses appearing like shacks. Take a look at pic one, the closest view of that city, the tallest buildings has made other iconic highrises look dwarf.
On other hand, Lagos has not at any point met the zoning criteria, you just showed me area of residential which is at close proximity with industrial area and that should also speak volume, take a look at pic two.
I will agree with the bolded at the same time disagree, who said old cities were not planned? Go read about new York city... I now understand why that island looks ugly , we have such buildings in coastal region lamu old town to be specific, but when it come to our CBD, our government can't allow those houses to sprout from all angles that's why we have renovation project in town, old dwarf houses are being brought down to pave way for iconic structures and other important things.

kettykings:
Are you going to count the contributions of igbo , chinese ,indian business men in lagos as part of the contributions of the south west ?
The north according to the write up did not count the contributions of igbo , chinese ,indian business men in the north as their contributions, they did not count the contributions of yoruba in the north as their contributions

Shma:
pic 1, be it an Indian city or wherever to me it doesn't look appealing, but the buildings looks iconic ..
2nd pic looks like malindi old town in coast region, how does it supposed to mean in this convo?
3. The last pic is eye appealing, those skyscrapers looks iconic, the zoning speaks volume.

Shma:
I have no problem with those dense shanty houses, my problem is how unplanned Lagos is , as a matter of fact, our city my be holding one of the biggest slums but when aerial caption(slant aeria to be precise,) will never show that underrated kibera slum. That's the reason Nairobi will look super iconic on photos, I know Lagos has that potential but the hitch is how unplanned Lagos is right from zoning to aesthetisism

Problemkid1:
Lol even Ibadan is far more developed than their second crap city!! Shame I said Nairobi is struggling to catch up with Port Harcourt.

Shma:
Mombasa..

Shma:
add Machakos on that list .. I just saw one from Machakos, but I think this source has not captured all the buildings.

S.tupid country full of Stu.pid people.

Always chasing shadows and fighting over imaginary supremacy. Come to think of a country without electricity, no national airline, no better hospital, unemployment high reach heaven and ruled by corrupt illiterates...a total shithole, yet everyday all you read is Afonja, Igbo, herdmen....my tribe is better than yours blablabla.....in a country tha can't boost of any meaningful thing in the entire world..? Haba

Shma:
bro, one thing you don't understand is that quality does not necessarily mean bypass and wherever. According to the Global Competitiveness Report index, some countries like kenya have been ranked high above Nigeria..
I don't really know about mombasa, just based it on general performance.


Namibia (score 5.2) world ranking 23
South Africa (score 5.0) world ranking 29
Rwanda (score 5.0) world ranking 31
Cote d’voire (score 4.7) world ranking 42

but bro, this is a hectic Convo.

Check out some

. Leven House, Mombasa
Located in Mombasa’s old town, the building got its name from a British naval ship, the HMS Leven that visited the island in 1824. The building was rented by officers from the ship for use as an anti-slavery base.
After renovations co-ordinated by the Mombasa Old Town Conservation Office and the Museums of Kenya, the building was reoccupied in 2010.

The panel said it is optimally oriented for the coast climate with major window facades in the North and South facing walls. It has light coloured walls with high thermal mass for cooling. It also uses local materials and technology and a natural ventilation system.
Manda Airport, Lamu

Designed by Adventis Inhouse Africa, the terminal building uses solar photovoltaic panels and is perhaps the only terminal building that is fully solar powered.
It uses locally available materials, has natural ventilation and lighting system, light coloured walls with high thermal mass for cooling and a wastewater recycling technology.

. Red Pepper House, Lamu
It is considered one of the well designed on the East African coast. Designed by Urko Sanchez Architects, its makuti roof blends well with the surroundings.
Much of the space inside has no walls, allowing guests to take in much of the tropical climate. It is optimally oriented for the climate with the major window facades in the North and South facing walls. Large shaded areas provide cooling to internal spaces while solar photovoltaic panels provide water heating and other power related activities.
With extensive use of locally available and recyclable

Shma:
Mombasa has high quality roads than Abuja, many doesn't equate to development, you can be having more road network but the quality is wanting.
Mombasa will beat Abuja in transport system, Mombasa is the home of second largest international airport after jomo kenyatta. Water services Abuja had none., I know you will cling on Abuja meter rail e.t.c to scope cheap points, but Mombasa will beat you ten nil in rail station.,
House system,??... what do you mean, mombasa has more posh houses compared to Abuja. .

Shma:
+ mombasa and eldoret.

Dlonra:
I don't blame you. None of your Cities have Led Buildings . South Africans can relate. Your architecture is so boaring and Old School.

Dlonra:
The only Qualified City in Nigeria should be Rusty Lagos. The rest are Big municipals and towns.
Nairobi is a City Nigerians and those in Gambia Move to settle into. We even have a Nigerian neighborhood called Roysambu

samorobo:

BadBradley:
What? so he's saying a Kenya is not in the league

Damn, I don't do a back and forth with a citizen of a country whose GDP is not up to the national budget of some western countries.

Not worth the chirping.
