TayserMahiri:
Any malicious intent?

You know I am not like that. You know!

MtuMsuper:
The rail you see in the pictures above is NOT light rail, and neither is it intra city. Its conventional, long distance, with standard gauge. It is about to open anytime now, to replace the older one. Its a countrywide project.

But Kenyanstar claimed it is already functioning.

It is still under Inter city.

Nowenuse:
I think Mombasa's rail is inter-city and not intra-city.

@Forgiveness, i see no reason comparing Nigerian and Kenyan cities. They are all developing. None has perfected anything.
See Mombasa has a better inter-city rail network, while PH has a better intra-city rail network.

We are all still yet to get there.

How could you have known without this platform?

I just want to know what Mombasa can offer apart from tourism. From there we can learn.

Kenyanstar:
Thats magnificient structure is the Mombasa terminal... About it functioning i thought you watched the video or you lack enough data bundles to watch the video . Nigerian poor cellular network can be a problem bro, i understand your struggle.

Meanwhile the Kenyan SGR train has a capacity of 1000 passengers travelling at a minimum 120km/h and maximum of 180km/hr.

I think Mombasa trashed Port Harcourt Interms of inter - city rail but Port Harcourt thrashed Mombasa with the magnificent airport and Intra - city rail.

Of course, I saw the video and don't forget I also showed you the video of Port Harcourt Mono rails but it doesn't mean it is operating.


Ps. Please, take note that the Coastal Standard Guage railway from Port Harcourt to Lagos is in the pipeline.

Kenyanstar:
Hahahaha
I hope i wont embarrass you that much.....

try harder.

Port Harcourt Inter city railway.

Kenyanstar:
So it aint even operating? What are you showing it for anyway?

Meanwhile in Mombasa

Is the one you posted functional?

This is inter city, I guess.

This building should be the terminal, right?

chkil0:

Greater Port Harcourt city project.

You will notice that the city is well planned from the scratch.

Port Harcourt vs Mombasa, Under transportation Amenities

It seems Port Harcourt has given Mombasa TKO on transportation.

Watch Mono rails construction.

P.s the project is on hold due to politics of bitterness.

Eastwalk:

Jay254 has posted acreages of photos here. Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret,Thika, Lamu, Kericho, Kisii, Naivasha, Kericho.....these are all Kenyan cities.

This is Eldoret, our fifth largest town in terms of population. Jay has posted the photos of Thika on this and ther previois page, which to me is more charming than Eldoret.

Kisumu vs Uyo Because Ibadan will knock out Kisumu one time if we consider the criteria l listed before and the ones below.

I will always considered many factors before I can give a proper verdict on these cities. Pictures can't do without pinpoint what are the things obtainable in them.



Business
Community
Schools
Health
Real Estate

TayserMahiri:
What? I thought he was Nigerian? Your story is now looking like this thread.

I never said he is Nigerian, check again.

TayserMahiri:
Why was he going round Lagos? I thought he knew the place or he was just refamiliarizing with the new changes...

No, this is his first time in Nigeria.

Hbuyosh:
A bit of some confontation and d!ck measuring are inevitable on this thread. Check out how this thread started off.
It wont go apeshit now. It started off on roucous note, the nature of the debate here goes as thu; the bitter discussion tones downs a bit (like now), tempers flair up again then things mellowe out again, then again.....

Soo, just enjoy this short moment of some semblance of a civilized discourse.

Hbuyosh:
U must be kidding! Calabar, Kamo, Ibadan and Owerri.......above average cities?
I am looking at the aerial shots of those towns right now.

Kano is a big city full of old buildings with rusty rooftops......

Which city in Kenya do you think is above average apart Nairobi and Mombasa, and are better than Calabar, Uyo, Enugu, Ibadan and Owerri?

TayserMahiri:
I see the whole thread starting all over agin

Hehehehe! just to make it lively.

I wana learn more about Mombasa.

TayserMahiri:
Please, how are we to listen to a verdict from a blunt guy?

Hehehehe! Sorry. I meant straightforward.

Jay254:
I believe the two cities play the same role in each country.

Ph is the Oil city while Mombasa is the tourist city.
They both have sea line
Population wise they do not have abig difference though ph has an advantage.
They both have a port.

We can play around that.

Possible Criteria:

Population
Amenities (Total)
Cost of Living
Price of Gas
Total Crimes/100K
Violent Crimes/100k
High School Graduation Rate
Students/Teacher
Median Household Income
Commute Time
Median Home Price
Median Rent
Temp
Air Quality
Unemployment Rate
Recent Job Growth
Sales Taxes
Income Taxes

These are we need to have critical analysis step by step the best.

Starting with population, Port Harcourt wins.

Do you agree?

Now, you can do the second rating. This will be the big deal.

Jay254:
I thought you said PH was way better than Mombasa.

Perhaps!

Interms of infrastructures I think P/H has an edge.

Can you please list the criteria for choosing the best?

Note: no bashing because I don't do that.

Jay254:
I believe we have competed enough between this two cities.. why dont we try some thing new like PH vs Mombasa or Ibadan vs Kisumu...


Still no one will win because....

Hmmmmm! What about Abuja vs Mombasa?

Because no one go gree say my mama soup no sweet.

TayserMahiri:
Since its a he makes the whole assessment susceptible to bias. He might want to please you
Kicking off with Lagos will be fair play. How long was he here and where specifically was he based?

I don't think so because his kind are blunt.

I think 5-6 years approximately and he was based in Nairobi though must have been to many parts in Kenya. You can see why kicking off with Lagos vs Nairobi will be fair play.

Don't worry I will announce his verdicts, hopefully.

uzzyfire:
loooolll Lagos island vs Nairobi

And Lagos Island shall come victorious.

TayserMahiri:
Definitely,,,

At all. when he arrived and went round Lagos I wasn't there.
