NairobiWalker: So where are the 8 Lagos skyscrapers? lol. You can't say Lagos had 8 complete skyscrapers when you haven't listed even 1. Lagos has 6, Ibadan 1 and that's it. No other in Nigeria.
KCB is 100m, Le'Mac is 126m (I wonder where you are getting the less than 100m figure lol)
Prism is topped out so it's already a structure with a 133m height.
Anyway I could still remove Prism and I&M but Nairobi will still have 8 (with numerous under construction including Africa's tallest tower) against 6 from Lagos.
Emporis is a more acceptable and recognized source for sure discuss, not jumia. And if you want to go by skyscraper height of 50 m above, it will be suicidal to pit Accra against Abuja. Abuja will dwarf Accra.
As it's, Villagio A is 25 according to Emporis and wikipedia.
KCB is 99 m. Give me the proof for Le'mac. Currently, you have only six skyscrapers but you think Nairobi has more skyscrapers than Nigeria.

NairobiWalker: Ibadan also had a skyscraper before Dubai had one but that's a single building that stands out as a sore thumb in the middle of badly planned ugly midgets. Sorry sir, that's not enough to call Ibadan a city of skyscrapers.
I don't know why you're so inclined on this Ibadan having the first skyscraper. A skyscraper is a skyscraper irrespective of the time it was built. Nairobi got KICC 4 years after ugly Cocoa House was built and KICC is now a small tower in the mid of numerous other skyscrapers. Furthermore KICC is still an architectural masterpiece.
Ugly planned but better than most unplanned slums in Kenya's best cities.
Ugly but it still holds its title as the first in Sub Sahara Africa.
NairobiWalker: You're welcome to The University of Nairobi. My alma mater - run away from those crappy Nigerian universities. It is a nice university at the city center of Nairobi.
vaxx: good for the link. i will like to know the number of floors abuja skyscraper has. U said high rise building should be around 12 floors. But villagio vista double tthat mark. Give us abuja floors nymber?
The definition of highrise and skyscraper in structural parlance are different.
9jakool: Leave the history to me . Nigeria swells in deep history. *Yes we have a lot of them- Benin, Kano, Sukurr, Sokoto, Ife etc.
Benin had the largest earthworks in the wall which took 150 million hours of manpower to build. It also had one of the earliest mathematically grid-planned cities in the world as well as one of the first cities to adopt a system of street lightning. Kano was a medieval walled city that produced scholars and flourished from trade especially through the trans-saharan trade routes. Leather and other fine goods produced in Kano and hausaland were valued for their quality in European courts. Ife produced some of the finest and realist works of art in the world during the middle ages. Over a thousand years ago, Ife had paved courtyards and streets.
*Oyo empire not Ibadan empire. Ibadan was just a provincial city, the captial was Oyo.
*True as well as Edo and Hausas.
Help me tell am.
Besides, Oyo empire is different from Ibadan Empire(though they didn't succeed in the unification of the whole tribe).
MPSA: If you have a lot of money, You can stay in the places like this one, My brother stay in the area like this one, but in Roodeport Johannesburg' Here is MIDRAND, Between Johannesburg and Pretoria Beautiful Man MAN, PLEASE!PLAY THE FIRST VIDEO AND SEE THE REAL ESTATE. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

vaxx: it is not vista vilito. it is villagio vista. where do you get the measurement. provide the link here. the floors is 27. enough to be called a skyscraper. Provide us the number of floors with abuja own.
Height not numbers of floors determine a skyscraper.

If it is Villagio vista, it still didn't meet the requirement because it's just 89.69 m. Way below the 100m mark.
