Mombassa is nice, Kenya dey try for their tourism l swear.

Walahi! My eyes wan para wen I see the... Make I swell dem head.

so why are you comparing a city that was devoloped to serve only as an adminisrative capital city to a city that that was created for commercial and national interest. It is illogical. Accra has both natural and human beauty. Abuja is a just a city developed by man.

So, all the rocks, Hills, mountains were placed in the city by Hulk? While the lakes, waterfalls, highland were formed by urine, ba?

Real Eastate in Mombasa

abuja what？ out of the 66 district that make abuja only 6 district is really developed. all the district that make greater accra can be consider develop in west african sense. some district in abuja are far worst.

the airport development you saw was an extension of the old airport to accomodate little aircraft maintainance. and avation fuel centet. first in west africa . second to tripoli airport.

new extention of the old kumasi airport is also underway. i pray the current goverment continue.

lagos is leading as a commercial hub in west africa simply because of population and not base on enabling enviroment. accra might overtake that position if it continue with its current development. although it can be debate. Journesbourg is not as populated like lagos yet it bost of a strong economy that can be compared to europe standard. Likewise alexandra in egypt.

Are we comparing FCT with Greater Accra or Abuja with Accra?

Where did you get 66 district from?

Abuja is still bigger than Accra and yet more beautiful and arranged.

Do you know we are building 4 international airport extentions with other local airports?

What makes it not enabling enviroment?

Remember, Kamo is more populated than Lagos yet Lagos is still far better than Kano

Remember, the federal government intentionally left Lagos to decay because they wanted to make make Abuja the economic hub yet it couldn't stop Lagos from growing.

What is the economy of Joburg?

Tema was created in 1952 http://tdctema.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=3

Do you mean the first city planned African?

TayserMahiri:
Actually its just about to happen. History repeats itself

Impossible!

If eventually which I doubt, Ghana here I come. *take cover *

leathalbeast:
and those dying in Indonesia and Malaysia?

At least, you are now aware. The rest no kwunsin me.

TayserMahiri:
No, I really like Coup number 5


Noting Buhari's unpopularity, General Babangida just kicks him out an takes over
Cos apparently you can just do that in Nigeria, when you want.

Coup number 2, 3 and 5, 7 are also quite something

That was then, not now else the center will no longer hold.

leathalbeast:
yes exactly, the funny part is they go around consoling themselves by claiming they are the giants while their citizens are dying in the Mediterranean seas because they want to escape their hellhole of a country.

Most of those dying in the Mediterranean Sea are not only Nigerians, Ghanaians are also there.

TayserMahiri:
Please don't go into details. Its a comedy

Hahahahahah! You gave him the details of Nigerian regimes. Whereas, I was talking about the Giant of Africa status during the short civilian rule.

You try small.

TayserMahiri:
Its Mombasa to take it easy with PH

Ok na, let go there.

TayserMahiri:
Lol, koko is the point okay. Is it derived from Makoko?

You are learning fast but I go collect ruch next time.

well having lived in lagos i can relate to some of your views, the aflao border road is still under construction just like the mile2 - badagry road which forms part of the west african highway, but i must say that there has been great improvement on the road and alternate routes. i tend to disagree that the urbanization problem of lagos was done by the military alone. it's more of a maintenance culture that needs to be encouraged among the populace, the military regime is responsible for the bridges and flyovers . the likes of third mainland to carter bridge.. the high rises along marina to cms. to the national theatre igamu this was done in the military era.. in the wake of the oil boom, but more could have been done...the problem with nigerians is maintenance culture.. lagos is witnessing what a lot of developing resilient cities like accra is going through.. the rural urban drift and poor urban planning.. which can be attributed to the government and state governments failing to create regional economic hubs just like lagos, tema is one of my best cities in west africa, the first master planned city in west africa. with proper light and drainage connections and pavements. the port city still stands the test of time till today.. it will interest you to know that the city tema has so much potential being that it's the center of the earth! i tell you! imagine wif this potential where to be in dubai..but nevertheless , we are pace setters and will make it happen.. plans are ongoing to transform the place into a world class city and crown it up with an iconic tower with some receptive facilities.. I would only compare accra with lagos as abuja is a newly planned city and port harcourt even with the oil service has no chance .. and even if i were to add abuja ..accra is doing pretty well as its listed amongst the world resilient cities and new master planned districts like the eko atlantic city and cenetary are being built.. accra is also a shadow of itself compared to its real potential but if i were to take a place to live i will take accra hands down.. i value life and security.there is this sense of freedom that leaves me when am in the streets of lagos.you know the saying.. shine your eyes when you live for lagos city.. that attitude is not welcoming.. i cherish every moment that i can be calm and feel secure that to an extent my life and property is safe.. not to talk of the light issue .. in terms of biz i will take lagos as it's the biggest commercial nerve in the region and presents immense opportunities .. it's a tough and challenging city but if u know your way around then you good to go. but even at that lagos should brace up for competition as accra is working its way up to serve as a hub of the region.. it has already been crowned the aviation hub center of west africa and more coming up. i long to see more developments from these cities tho

Of course, Aflao road is better than 6 years.

If you look at the history of Nigeria, civilians only ruled for 10 years out of 40 years of military regime, before we settled for democracy in 1999.

Believe me when the civilian ruled from 1960 - 1966, we were the envy of the world. I don't want to go into full details.

Though the military regime executed big projects but it was left to decay. Like I said, it was left to decay under the same military regime. As you have rightly said that maintenance culture is the major setbacks but it is no longer the case with some states government but the federal government is still very much guilty of this.

Most of the highrise buildings were done during the civilian rule.

Is Tema the first master planned city in West Africa? Can you give the date of creation?

The last time a Ghanaian friend visited Abuja, he realized he was fed with lies about Nigerian cities. In short, he was blown away.

I can only choose Accra ahead of Abuja if business is considered but in terms of infrastructures, please don't go there. Abuja has gone pass what you saw or think.

What are the factors that made Ghana the aviation hub?
Last year, I saw construction going on at the airport.

Are they building new airport?

I was impressed with the Navy clinic beside the airport.

But if you think Accra will overtake Lagos as the regional and economic hub then you must have great faith.

TayserMahiri:
Your last criteria will be population

Hehehehe! Don't worry I will take it easy with Mombasa.

TayserMahiri:
What does this mean? I've heard Victoria Kimani sing it in one her songs.

That is the point (koko). Got it?

TayserMahiri:
You must be so slow

I got the msg

But Very slowly

Getting the message na em bi d koko.

Obio Cottage Hospital, Port Harcourt

am the only one thinking Mombasa has only one public hospital?

TayserMahiri:
I know, forgiveness was just trying to be comical

Really! We still have a long list of criteria to showcase before arriving at the conclusion.

That reminds me, we have done the transportation sector and health care sector all still under amenities yet Port Harcourt has dusted Mombasa in all these sectors.

Hmmmmm! What is next? Aha! Public Education.

Common let us go there.

TayserMahiri:
I haven't seen a nigerian with better network than 2 or 3 G. Now you join the bandwagon

Hehehehe! Because it's my choice.

4G is available only if I want.

But you got the message,na.

Nowenuse:
Hahaha, the Kenyans have gone mute.
They think PH is like Mombasa with only 1 govt health care centre for 2 million people.
They probably never thought that PH will have dozens of primary health care centres apart from the state secondary health care centre.

Apart from the many private health centres in the city, you also have the health centres for Nigerian navy, Nigerian petroleum corporation, Nigerian airforce e.t c and also health centres for all the oil multi-national companies there. And all these health centres for workers (both Nigerian and oil multinational parastatals) operate on full health insurance for their workers and their families.

The thing shock the guy, sotey em dey doubt d things e dey see.

He never expected it.

I have not even posted all those and all Port Harcourt public health care don thrashed Mombasa own. Bhuuuhahaha!

If you get the pictures, abeg post am here.

TayserMahiri:
The underwhelming part is that it opens 8 to 8 pm. I was expecting much more from such a hospital 24/7 services!!!

Really!

But the snapshot says otherwise.

Shine ya eyes.

TayserMahiri:
I'm very suspicious with some of what you posted

Bhuuuhahaha! Why?

But you don't need to.

TayserMahiri:
The last one is obviously new. We know what it will look like in a few short years. Beautiful tho abi

Ps. Whats its name? I want to google itmyself and see

Gynescope specialist hospital

TayserMahiri:
The last one is obviously new. We know what it will look like in a few short years.

Mombasa public hospital

Do you have only one public hospital in Mombasa?

Port Harcourt has from local government, state to Federal government level.

If you want to see the local government public health care, you can open this then take note of the names of each local government.
