i swear with the God that created me, Lagos is far better than Nairobi, as Lagos development spreads across, while Nairobi developments is only at the CBD and the adjourning areas,also, Lagos is bigger and have better infrastructures (third mainland bridge,lekki bridge, Lagos badagary express......, Lagos roads are wider and cleaner, Nairobi rely mostly on thika super high and the new eastern and southern by pass highways which only have just dual carriage lanes in both sides. the only thing i can say Nairobi is better than Lagos in, is the greening , Nairobi tends to have greener terrain than Lagos and more touristic places than Lagos , aside these nothing else, i am been sincere here guys!

Chai! You don open fowl yanch for here ooooooo.

Centenary City: Abuja Spectacular City Hub


Centenary City has three iconic features – the Africa Tower, scaling high at 308 metres, The Mall of Nigeria and a 30-hectare Nigeria Park. Africa Tower will be the tallest building in the Continent while the mall will be its largest retail and entertainment destination.

It will be 308 meters high. meaning the tallest building in Africa I suppose.

NairobiWalker:
Kenyans would never buy that crap. We better manufacturer our own crap. The reason we import things is because they're of better quality than what we can manufacture - I don't see how we can import military equipment from Naija if we can manufacture similar or better equipment.

I see! Time will tell.

A planned community, or planned city, is any community that was carefully planned from its inception and is typically constructed in a previously undeveloped area. This contrasts with settlements that evolve in a more ad hoc fashion. Land use conflicts are less frequent in these communities. The term new town refers to planned communities of the new towns movement in particular, mainly in the United Kingdom. It was also common in the European colonization of the Americas to build according to a plan either on fresh ground or on the ruins of earlier Native American cities.

Planned capital citiesEdit


Inner Canberra, Australia.
Several of the world's capital cities are planned cities, including Canberra in Australia, Brasília in Brazil, Belmopan in Belize, New Delhi in India, Valletta in Malta, Abuja in Nigeria, Astana in Kazakhstan, Naypyidaw in Burma, Islamabad in Pakistan, Ankara in Turkey and Washington, D.C., in the United States. In Egypt, a new capital city east of Cairo has been proposed. The federal administrative centre of Malaysia, Putrajaya, is also a planned city.

Abu Dhabi (UAE) and some of the recently built cities in the Persian Gulf region are also planned cities, built on the money from the oil boom. Prior to the boom, these were just villages or towns.

Africa

Botswana

The city of Gaborone was planned and constructed in the 1960s.[2]

Equatorial Guinea

In 2012, President Teodoro Obiang decided to move the capital to a new jungle site at Oyala.[3]

Kenya

Konza Technology City is a planned city that is hoped to become a hub of African science and technology upon its completion in 2030.[4]

Nigeria

The capital, Abuja, is a planned city and was built mainly in the 1980s.[5] Several other cities are under development to accommodate the rapidly growing population, some of which include: Eko Atlantic City, a planned city of Lagos State being constructed on land reclaimed from the Atlantic Ocean. Upon completion, the new city which is still under development is anticipating 250,000 residents and a daily flow of 150,000 commuters.[6] Centenary City, in the Federal Capital Territory, is another planned smart city under development. The city is designed to become a major tourist attraction to the country.[7] A list of Nigerian cities and neighbourhoods that went through a form of planning are as follows:

Abuja, one of the most populous planned cities, and the fastest growing city in the world.
Banana Island, an affluent neighbourhood in Ikoyi, Lagos, Lagos State
Bonny Island in Rivers State
Centenary City in the Federal Capital Territory
Eko Atlantic in Lagos State
Festac Town in Lagos, Lagos State
FESTAC Phase 2, the next phase for Festac has been proposed.[8]
Ikeja, the capital of Lagos State
Lekki, a new city in Lagos State
Lekki Free Zone, a free trade zone in the Lekki
Orange Island, a planned real estate development in Lekki.[9]
Victoria Island in Lago[/b]s, Lagos State


[b]South Africa

A number of cities were set up during the apartheid-era for a variety of ethnic groups. Planned settlements set up for white inhabitants included Welkom, Sasolburg and Secunda. Additionally the majority of settlements in South Africa were planned in their early stages and the original town centres still lie in a grid street fashion. Some settlements were also set up for non whites such as the former homeland capital of Bhisho.[citation needed]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_community


Who said Victoria Island is not planned?

Nigeria has the most planned cities and Neighborhood in Africa. Lagos has more planned areas than the whole of Nairobi and Kenya.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_community

NairobiWalker:
What can Nigeria do to Kenya militarily seriously?

Hehehehe! We don't need war, brother.

ArchieTaylor:
It must be Stratosphere, see the Kenyan projects on the same page

It is not. Stratosphere was Silverbird group project. This is Centenary city project. It will be the tallest building in Africa.

Most of currently built buildings are not listed on that site.

NairobiWalker:
For one, the whole of Lagos mainland is a slum. A huge slum with 10M people.

Bhuuuhah! You mean, Surulere, Yaba, Ikeja, Maryland, Anthony, Ilupeju etc are slums?

Bhuuuhahaha! On that list you will see Ikeja, it is among the planned neighborhood in Lagos State.

No single Nairobi neighborhood is recognized as planned. maka why?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_community

68816419:
the funny thing is she scripted the write-up properly as if she had been to Lagos, how can some one that claimed to have been to Lagos call those places slums?,

Hehehehe! I don't know their definition of slum but until then finger crossed

68816419:
that girl/boy is a lier, i stayed in Nairobi for a while i know Kenya in and out, whalhi only CBD and other places dominated by whites and indians are nice, kenya is a very poor country how can some one compare kibera,mathare and more slums to makoko?

Hehehehe! Are sure?

But talk truth small, is Lagos better than Nairobi?

mkenya254:
Lol... The Olympics is the 2nd largest sporting event only after the World Cup.

You have won at total of 24 medals since Nigeria started participating in the Olympics while Kenya has won 31 gold medals against your 3 total gold medals.

You dispute the Olympics only to show me the all African games that a lot of our top athletes don't attend to prepare for the more prestigious IAAF and Olympics.. Lol.. Please shut up


Hahaha.. Scrabble is more prestigious than Olympics. You are so stupid I can't argue with you anymore. Who the Bleep watches scrabble tournaments. Lol.. Global viewers must be less than 1000..hahahahahahahaha

We have more paralympic medals than Nigeria and please quote world titles only. Not African titles which have no recognition

Indeed, it is the largest sporting events but it is not the pinnacle of sporting achievement in every sports in the world. WBC heavyweight title is bigger than the gold medal won in boxing, African cup of Nations, UEFA cup, FIFA world cup etc is bigger than the gold won in the Olympics. etcetera


Kenya won 99% of her gold in Athletics(marathon) while Nigeria has won countless numbers of Boxing titles at the highest stage than the Olympics.


When Kenyan sports men and women competed in all categories of sports in Africa alongside Nigeria, Kenya was found wanting. Nigeria was clearly ahead. IAAF is only meant for Athletics.

To qualify to play in the Olympics, All AFRICAN teams must compete in the All African games and others. Don't tell me lies.


SRABBLE is more prestigious than Olympics the same way world cup, UEFA champions League, WBO, etc is more prestigious than the Olympics. Deal with it.

Who watches boring 3000, 5000, etc marathon? only Kenyans. I never knew it existed.


If you can't win in Africa then where do want to win? Bhuuuhahaha!

I have listed them. Read again.

ArchieTaylor:
USA, Russia, Britain, China really?? Germany and Japan are very anti millitary though.
We can decapitate you guys in 3 hours. And no offense to Ethiopia but they have a huge population. Kenya can deal with them in 13 minutes btw

Of course!

Bhuuuhahaha! Bhuuuhahaha! Kenya decapitate Nigeria in 3 hours!? too much movies ain't good for you.

mkenya254:
I lived stayed in VI for 2wks at the Radisson Blu Hotel and Ikoyi at the Southern Sun for a week. During the time I visited some clients in Lekki, Yaba and also some famous clubs in Sululeri e. G. Lighthouse.


Lekki seems to be more of a nice apartment complex area with VI and Ikoyi having more stand alone houses. I think they have wealthier people saying there. There are more modern architecture like buildings in Nairobi while Lagos buildings have more of a traditional feel despite being huge as well

VI is very poorly planned and I hated the way the ocean looks so polluted especially on the long bridge going to visit from the mainland. There is also a very large floating slum there.

I would prefer the affluent kenyan neighborhoods of Nairobi compared to Lagos. This is because in Nairobi has a lot of forests in the town actually. So you have very beautiful greenery views though it is quite colder (13-24) degrees annually. But maybe because I am not used to the heat of Lagos being at sea level and Nairobi being at 5800 ft above sea level. There is also generally more to see in Nairobi since you can do safari drive inside Nairobi, there are quite a number of zoos. The Las Vegas of Kenya(Naivasha and Nakuru) are also short drives away from Nairobi

I also saw the king of yoruba who came to dine at Southern Sun quite a number of times. I was so shocked that a bunch of old people followed him ringing bells etc and that even very educated looking people bowed to him. I thought the Kings were just elements of Nollywood.

Yaba and Sululeri seem not so safe areas especially after dark for the foreigner. Also Ikeja. I also hated the fact that when you are a foreigner everybody keeps asking you for money even some people I asked for directions to the washroom at the airport !!, club bouncers etc.

Taxis are very old and run down but Ubers are very clean and new. But taxis are way cheaper than Nairobi with a taxi in Nairobi charging double the Uber rate at any time.

Something else I did not understand is why buying a Sim card takes almost 30mins with fingerprints etc. I also noticed data is way more expensive there compared to Kenya. For example, I have 30Mbps cable Internet and TV at my house than I only play 56 dollars for monthly. Mobile data costs me 10USD for 3Gb data from the most expensive telco locally.

Most people from your country love sweet liquor, Orijin and Andre champagne in the clubs. Kenyans like bitter alcohol so I felt as if I was taking fruit juice drinking Orijin And alcohol is quite cheap compared to Kenya. That I like with a 750ml heineken or orijin bottle going for around 2-3Usd while in Kenya 300ml of Heineken costs you 3-5Usd depending on the location. Locally brewed beers are 2-3USD but sold as 500ml.

Cost of living is just slightly cheaper than Kenya as well. I loved the Nigerian cuisine though like most Kenyans who travel to Nigeria I couldn't handle the extreme Chilli in all your dishes

People are generally friendly(African culture) but there are also a lot of people looking to cheat you on the streets as with any African country I assume. I couldn't understand why the airport authority in Nigeria let's a bunch of people in the airport who are not Travellers hence I had to bribe to even get to the airline desk. About 3000naira. Kenya is very corrupt but that is only in the police force and politicians. In Nigeria to even get directions you pay

Nigerian women are pretty but I don't understand why there is so much bleaching and wigs though. I thought Kenyan women put on a lot of make up until I saw Nigerian ladies. That was a disappointment. This frenzy is sadly becoming introduced in Kenya by Nigerians as you see with socialites such as Vera. This is such a shame as Africans should appreciate dark skin. But as much as Nigerian women are beautiful I noticed Kenyan women have more booty in case that tickles your fancy

Affluent Nigerians like the Mercedes G class while Affluent Kenyans like the Range Rover. The Honda is very popular in Nigeria while in Kenya it has less than 3% market share with Toyota being the primary car for the ordinary Kenyan.

Shopping for clothes in Nigeria is a better experience(more designer brands) than Kenya though for restaurants I think Kenya leads since any mall easily has 5-10 different restaurant chains even the smaller malls like Diamond Plaza.

Music in Nigeria is ahead of Kenya since all clubs play only Nigerian music with a few Jazz at hotel bars. Kenyans primarily listen to Jamaican riddim/raga, hip hop, Kenyan and Nigerian music, bongo then SA Kwaito in that order. Jazz and country is also common in better restaurants.

In terms of traffic, both Nairobi and Lagos are similar. Traffic at the Lekki toll station is as much as traffic on Mombasa road in Nairobi.

For public vehicles, Nairobi has loud and very pimped matatus so that may not be comfortable while Lagos has very old ones.. Can't recall their name. Both are however prone to pick pocketing. I never boarded the Lagos ones but I was told that I should avoid them and only use taxis or the company car.

Nairobi is undergoing more road expansions though but the proposed introduction of toll gates may result to a Lekki traffic situation. Time will tell.

Large businesses in Nigeria seem to be predominantly international companies e.g. Shoprite while Kenya has more local successes even though some are owned by indigenous Indians e.g. Nakumatt and Bidco

Hehehehe! With what you have written I can see you really experienced Lagos. However, I will like to correct some things.


The Lagoon you crossed through the long bridge is not an ocean, it is just what I called it and the floating slum had already been cleared. It means you came some few years ago. When was it?


About the king, there is nothing like Yoruba King but there are many Yoruba kings. What will you say about the motionless police stationed at Buckingham Palace? Or the Masai that still practice their culture? Na normal thing for human being.

It depends on the area you go to in those areas because there are some places well secure like Ogunlana axis, Adeniran Ogunsanya axis, Ikeja gra etcetera.

Buying sim cards with thumb print is necessary because of security issues eg boko harem


Did you see BRT (Bus rapid transport) in Lagos?

Lagos airport is under going serious restructuring and reconstruction. That is why I am asking when you visited Lagos.

mkenya254:
Agege, Ajegunle, Amukoko, Badia, Bariga, Ijeshatedo/Itire, Ilaje, Iwaya and Makoko

Those places are part of Lagos State. They are not the main Lagos though Lagos has metaphors to become a metropolitan city.

mkenya254:
You are making warships while 70% of your population is below the poverty line. You are dimwits

If we sell one to Kenya, we will become richer.

ArchieTaylor:
I am pretty sure some small nation like Israel can decapitate you in 27 minutes. I do not see the significance of warships for a poor country

Even, Britain, Germany, Japan, Russia, America and China can be decapitated by Israel, how much more Nigeria.

Compare us with South Africa, Egypt, Algeria and Ethiopia in military power. I don't think Kenya can withstand our bulala.

mkenya254:
Hahahahahahahahahahaha hahaha... Which facts... Lol. Get your head out of your arse.

In the recently concluded Olympics. Nigeria had ONLY one MEDAL, a bronze medal while Kenya had 13 medals. 6 gold, 6 silver and 1 bronze. The best a country with 180m people can do is get a single bronze metal... Hahahahahahahahaahahaha

We are only 2nd to South Africa in the continent when it comes to Rugby and recently won the world HSBC sevens in Hong Kong.

All of those sports you are quoting you are not even in the top 3 world wide. Kenyans are known to be the best long distance and 800m runners in the WORLD.

We still hold the Africa javelin record by Julius Yego who got a silver in the Olympics despite having an injury.

We are the best in volleyball in Africa.

We have held a world record in swimming. We are the only African country to have a chess grandmaster.

You keep saying Nigeria is number 5 etc in the world. Who cares about number 4, 9 etc. Last time I checked only the top 3 are given medals... Lol

I wonde

E bi say you no sabi, ba?

1, Olympic is not the pinnacle of sporting achievement. Therefore, it is only meant for the Amateurs. Beside, Kenya only had gold medal Athletics(marathon). If we consider sports holistically, Nigeria is ahead of Kenya. How did I know? Check the African medal table below.



2, I have taken note of Kenyan's exploit in Rugby but our exploit in football has have dwarfed Kenyas achievement here.


3, WBO, WBC heavyweight titles are not beans. We have won many major boxing titles more prestigious than the Olympic medal in Athletics. We have won the Scrabble Championship and Nigeria is currently the number one in the Whole Wide World in SRABBLE. We were rated 4th in football in the world. Our achievements in these areas again has dwarfed that of a mere Olympic medal.


4, We have won gold and silver in Long jump.


5, We are the best in Basketball, Wrestling and Weightlifting, Table tennis and Football in Africa. I think those have overwhelmed Kenya's achievement in Female Volleyball.


6, Nigeria is holding the world records in Weightlifting (3) and Javelin in Paraolympics.

5, Kenya doesn't have one single grandmaster in chess. abi you fit prove am?


As you can see, in every one thing your are good at, we are three times better.



Now, take a look at the all time Africa game medal table and you see that when Nigeria and Kenya competed, Nigeria triumphed.

mkenya254:
I live in Gigiri, Nairobi. I have had 2 blackouts for the whole year lasting a total of less than 4hrs in total. Even the so cold poor estates always have electricity. I am from a small town called Kisii in western kenya which also has consistent power 24/7.

In fact 99% of estates and schools in Kenya don't have generators since there is power almost 24/7

Generators are only found in industries and hospitals which cannot afford to lose power at any time even for 5mins obviously

I am doubting the regular supply of electricity in Kenya because I know we have problems in that area. I am asking about the impression you had about those places you mentioned.

mkenya254:
Lol... If it comes to slums Lagos is the leader in Africa. You even have floating slums. That is some next level shit.. Hahaha

Also there are very many Kenyans who've never been to Nairobi. We have other cities, MSA which is one of the largest tourist destinations in Africa and Kisumu.

In fact, Nairobi is not among the top 5 counties in per capita wealth locally.

How many slums are in Lagos? I didn't say Lagos State.

I am asking about Lagos. Name the slums.

mkenya254:
Hahahaha... Which reports?? Lagos has no power for almost 40-50% of Each day in VI, Yaba, Lekki and Ikoyi which are where I have been to something very foreign to us.

We are the 8th largest producer of geothermal power in the world. Check Wikipedia. We produce a total of 2177MW for a population of 45m people who while Nigeria produces a total of 4500MW for almost 200m people.. Lol.. What a JOKE

Hehehehe! I can't deny that there epilepsy supply of electricity in some parts of Nigeria.

However, I seek to know your impression about those places you mentioned. How comparable is it to Nairobi?

Talk true oooo.

ianSweet:
Am originally from Kogi, but my family has been based in Kaduna cos we are partly from Kaduna, but i was born in Jos.

Yes northerners have facial beauty. Southernerns do too but i think u guys have a nicer body physique and swagg than us.
Northernerns just have this simple face (esp our women) as u can see below.

Waoh! I see. You look like an Egbira because they are exceptional beautifully too.

My mother is partially North and South. The reason I have the physique of a Northern.

Northernern women really have the simple face but unfortunately their women are only meant for the Northerners.

Nice to meet you. I can see you are ferociously busting bubbles here.

Nigeria has the highest numbers of planned communities in Africa.

They said Lagos is shiiti but the same Lagos has more planned areas than Nairobi and Kenya combined. Bhuuuhah!

A planned community, or planned city, is any community that was carefully planned from its inception and is typically constructed in a previously undeveloped area. This contrasts with settlements that evolve in a more ad hoc fashion. Land use conflicts are less frequent in these communities. The term new town refers to planned communities of the new towns movement in particular, mainly in the United Kingdom. It was also common in the European colonization of the Americas to build according to a plan either on fresh ground or on the ruins of earlier Native American cities.

In Egypt, a new capital city east of Cairo has been proposed. The federal administrative centre of Malaysia, Putrajaya, is also a planned city.

My pics and my sister's pics have been posted here several times. As a faceless forum that this is, i just can't reveal myself anyhow.

One of these four pics belong to me. Can you spot me? LoL.

Hehehehe! Northerners fine sha!

Sorry for asking, what state are you from and your tribe? Thanks

jln115:
Actually your definition is irrelevant, Cape Town is not planned by your definition yet its a million times better than Welkom which apparently is planned !!!

Yes! My definition is irrelevant but this world wide reputable source still didn't mention Cape Town as a planned city.

It may be million times better than Welkom after some patch patch adjustments was made but it was never a planned city.



List of planned cities

This is a list of planned cities (sometimes known as planned communities or new towns) by country. Additions to this list should be cities whose overall form (as opposed to individual neighborhoods or expansions) has been determined in large part in advance on a drawing board, or which were planned to a degree which is unusual for their time and place.

Did i say Seoul was the best city??

Also did you read and comprehend my post?? Infrastructure is not only found in Cities!! You need proper infrastructure/Logistics in rural areas as well!! hence the fact we have the 10th longest roadway coverage in the world and 9th longest railway coverage in the world!!

Lastly OR Thambo,King Shaka and Cape Town International have all been rated as the best airports in their respective categories at one stage, with all three being in the top5 currently in their respective categories.

Also i didn't see South Korea making you're top11 list either so how is that source relevant to this discussion ?

What is the meaning of 'JUST' Seoul, ehn?

The infrastructures found South Korea rural areas are better than some cities in South Africa.

Why is South Africa ranked the 10th longest roadway coverage in the world ahead of South Korea? It is very simple. It is because South Africa landmass is 10 times or more than South Korea. The same applies to railway coverage.

It doesn't mean South Africa is better or ahead of South Korea in terms of road and railway infrastructures.

South Korea railway station connects all rural and urban areas in South Korea with better and faster trains than that of South Africa.

12 lanes express ways connected to every major cities and towns.


South Korea airport is the second best in the world. Where is South Africa airport?

http://www.businessinsider.com/best-airports-in-the-world-2016-skytrax-2016-4

If you talk about Seaports, South Korea seaports is more busier than South Africa.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_busiest_container_ports


South Korea has one of the biggest Seaports in the world.

When it comes infrastructures in transportation, South Korea is not in the same lower league with South Africa..


[quote author=jln115 post=51961077]According to the Worldbank it is!! South Korea is more than just Seoul...you need working logistic platforms in rural areas as well, hence the fact we have the 10th longest roadway coverage in the world!![/quot]


Looking at both maps of railway system in both countries, which is more developed?

We are not talking about 6 cities in South Korea with subway stations.

Hehehehe!

jln115:
Sasolberg is not city and Welkom only has a population of 200 000 barley a city......So i guess Nigeria is better than South Africa

And BTW might be useful if you stated before hand what you mean by planned, by definition all South African cities are planned, otherwise it would look like Lagos....just one massive fvckup!!

But anyway if we take the definition as stated above, cities like Santon, Bisho and towns like Secunda, Phalaborwa should also be classified as planned as they were planned in advance before construction started!!

Your definition is irrelevant in the sphere of international discuss.

Only two cities are planned in South Africa. Meaning, we can still improve on our Lagos. Lagos the economic capital of Africa behind Joburg.

The rest are fine for nothing. waste of resources.

jln115:
According to the Worldbank it is!! South Korea is more than just Seoul...you need working logistic platforms in rural areas as well, hence the fact we have the 10th longest roadway coverage in the world!!

Who told you Seoul is the best city in South Korea?

Have you heard about Busan, Deagu, Daejon, Gwanju etc
?
Korea has 6 cities that are far more developed than the best cities in South Africa in terms of infrastructures; Road, subways, airports and seaports.

Everyone in the world knows when the olympics are held. I even dont know when the all African games are held. Do you know when The All South American games are held

If you don't know doesn't mean the world doesn't know.

And how does that negate the fact that Nigeria is ahead of Kenya in All AFRICAN GAMES and sports holistically?

Another for the future. Nigeria is ahead of Kenya in sports holistically.


And that is what the young driver has done. Ovie who is currently a Mechanical Engineering student of the University of London participated in and won the prestigious Red Bull Karting championship in 2010, in 2012 he emerged the Best Rookie in the Rye House Club championship and just last year he participated in the British University Karting championship.

Nigeria don go far.


And it’s victory for Shahin Nouri at the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo race held at the Spa Francorchamps racing circuit in Belgium, the same venue of the Formula One Belgian Grand Prix.

According to Leipert Autosport, the 24 hour race with 50 cars in competition, was ‘extremely intense’. The race kicked off mid day last Friday and ended on Saturday. It was almost marred by heavy accidents, as this report says, but Nigeria’s Shahin Nouri came out victorious.
