The headquarters of jumia is in Lagos, Nigeria

I happen to work on some areas with them, Jumia HQ is in Dubai, I know that for sure.

Nigeria is be biggest market for Jumia in Africa followed Egypt,Kenya,Morroco,Ghana...consecutively.

Please make sure you have your facts right... Jumia grew very fast in Nigeria because of the low penetration of formal retail businesses less than 4% compared to Kenya at 40%.

Garden City Mall
London-based private equity firm Actis, through Actis Africa, came up with the idea to develop Garden City, an integrated residential, retail and office development. The mall will have over 400 apartments and 60,000 square metres of office space. Actis was created in 2004 as a spin-out from CDC Group, an international development institution run by the United Kingdom government. Actis invested Sh2.5 billion in GCM. Actis came to be in 2004, demerging from the Commonwealth Development Corporation (CDC).

Village Market
An Iranian patriarch set foot in Kenya and his family was to later establish and run the iconic Village Market. Initially a ten-shop establishment when it was conceived by Hamed Ehsani and his brother Mehraz Ehsani in 1992, the Village Market has grown to accommodate 150 outlets on three levels, an outdoor food court and a health and fitness centre. Another expansion will see an additional 80 units added to the establishment, which was supposed to serve as a recreational and shopping experience in Gigiri, a hot diplomatic zone. The Tribe, an hotel run by the management, sits adjacent to the mall. The Tribe was designed by Mehraz

Sarit centre
Opened in 1983, the Sarit Centre is undergoing refurbishment that will see 20,000 square feet added to the 50,000 square feet the shopping mall offers.
It was the brainchild of Sobhagayachand Vidhu Shah and his friend Maneklal Rughani, who were running the Text Book Centre.
The two got the idea of putting up a mall after Rughani visited the Brent Cross Shopping Centre in London. Said to handle an average of 25,000 visitors a day, Sarit Centre, located in Nairobi’s Westlands, has a 300-seater cinema, food courts and expo space able to accommodate 50 stands.
Now a family-run business, the additional space is aimed at accommodating a surge in demand for retail space. A four-star hotel will also come up on the 12-acre property.
Westgate shopping mall
Operated by Westgate Shopping Mall Management, West gate Shopping Mall opened in 2007. With 350,000 square feet of retail space, the five-storey mall houses more than 90 stores, with Nakumatt Holdings and Planet Media Cinemas as its anchor tenants.
Westgate is owned by Sony Holdings, a company with Israeli origins. Indeed, Westgate has a number of Israeli outlets. The mall was the scene of the horrific September 21, 2013 terror attack that left 68 people dead and more than 200 injured. According to Business Daily, Sony Holdings is owned by Alex Trachtenberg and Vishiali Madan.
Last year, Sony Holdings lost a trade name battle against Japanese electronics giant Sony Corporation, bringing to an end the property developer’s bid to register ‘Sony’ as its exclusive trademark in Kenya, as reported by the local daily.
In 2014, the management company hired IRG, an Israeli security company to provide security and train personnel operating in the mall. Popular with urbane consumer class as well as expatriates and diplomats, the mall re-opened on July 18, 2015, with about 90 per cent of previous tenants of Westgate retaining their leases

Just like I said you see what you want...

The biggest mall on East and Central Africa owned by black Kenyan.

The best mall in this side of Africa owned by Black Kenyan the hub mall

One of the biggest mall almost finished Watermark owned by local Kenyan.

Other Big mall in Kenya by Kenyans, include;
Tmall
Juja mall
Ciata mall
Crystal River mall
Mill mall
Junction mall
Among so so many malls in Nairobi. We welcome foreign investment but we also play a big role.

Do not be mean with the truth. Btw there areally almost zero foreigners in CBD unless you mean tourist.

68816419:
who controls you industries, trade and commerce , tourism, real estates?.. look around parkland, Westland, industry areas, CBD, Karen and then tell me who controls these areas?

You see what you what to see. When you are in a place and see 10 people.

2. Indian's
2. Whits
6. Africans

Running business and conclude that other races are running Kenya that wouldn't be our problem.

We actually do not have that much of this races, I saw somewhere Nigeria has about 1million Indians.

68816419:
yet they control 90% of your economy Right?

Evidence? ??

tlann:
that is half of kenya's population how do they commute lagos must be big

You can imagine such a city without proper planning,drainage, zoning.... it's chaos

bantudra:
come back here abibi.....with only kenyans this thread is boring.....

You can't handle the Kenyans that's why were are good in marathon. We don't tire.

bantudra:
and learn what exactly....?...how to whorship white people....??

Hahaha you funny, the whites and Indians constitute less than 1% of Kenyan population . You may not see any of those races when you come.

Take the fight there in SSC, I will not engage in such petty stuff.

Nigeria has a lot to learn from Kenya in terms of planning and zoning, though we may not be the best of the best but the lessons will be worth it.

forgiveness:
Why didn't you tell that to your lying Kenya brother who started the Skyscraper debate with a big fat lie, huh?


You don't have more more skyscraper or high-rise than Lagos. Get that fact into your brain.

Another fat lie detected. Cape Town has more skyscraper than the whole of Kenya.

Lagos has more planned neighborhoods than the whole of Kenya. I don't want to talk about Abuja, Port Harcourt, Onne city etc

Nairobi is shit.

ednited:
North Africans are still Africans. But it bugs me that Morocco didn't want to be a member of African union for long. I think she is a member now. . .

If other North Africans are ignorant as Morocco people were, they better correct it. To North Africans - don't choose Africa because Europe rejected you. White people are going to fool you and leave you like Morocco. White people don't want any one related anyway with Africa.

True the whites will always use you when you suit them and dump you when they are done with you. Just like they have done with most leaders around the world.

We will not forget to what the Libyan did to African immigrants in there country...

bantudra:
north africans with that nasty white skins are not real africans....we know that they are descendants of alexander and moroonic crusaders....
but we dont bother accusing them....they are africans enough now.....

African enough mmmh Kinder, until when we will be trading and moving from north to south.. Egyptians are a bit different they are everywhere.

ednited:
The past government had been trying so many things to break Ethiopia. They tried to break us by letting Christians and Muslims fight, by the way after Abiy came to power, the bad guys burnt 14 of our Orthodox churches and our priests themselves died in there. They wanted us to fight with our Muslim brothers but we can't betray them because we have lived with them peacefully for long and we know that it wasn't them who did it.

They have been creating lies to let different tribes fight. They even entered our Orthodox Church. They were close to segregating our church. They have been misleading us with our history. They have been hiding the truth. The people of Ethiopia has suffered through many things. Today, the cabinet consists of people from different tribes. Our prime minister and vice prime minister are from different tribes and religion. But we need a medicine that help us forget the past because still, we are suspicious on anyone's work relating him with his tribe.

What?? Neversion had of those claims.. Does it mean the previous govt was run by same tribe?

forgiveness:
Where did you get 13 skyscrapers in Nairobi. You wan steal am?

You only have 8 skyscrapers in the whole of Kenya. Now prove me wrong.

See the snapshot and tell me the building missing.

Lagos alone has 9 and 4 under construction.

Abuja has 2 and one under construction

Ibadan has one which is the first Skyscraper in Sub Sahara Africa.

Uyo skyscraper is under construction

Abeokuta is following suite.


Kenya where are thou?

You hate discussing issues? What does a City having many highrises have over a city without?

Nairobi for sure has more highrises but we can't dwell on such petty stuff.

Paris receive's more tourist than Dubai,

Cape Town is the most beautiful City in Africa without having the most skyscrapers.

We can discuss how planned and organised cities are but not highrises just from any corner.

Africa in the antiquity was a region in north africa ( now days all tunisia , east algeria and north west libya ) . so the first population called africans are the north africcan berbers . and it was hundreds years before the name was generalized to the rest of the continent . and ancestral berbers even if they had not a black skin but they are the original and first inhabitants of maghreb .

So its funny when i read that north africans are not africans

Wow Interesting, I have just confirmed that...

Seems like the subsaharan Africa took it and owned it. Honestly most Subsaharan Africans don't really consider the North. Africans as Africans and not in a bad way.

As someone said Gaddafi was the only person who really tried to bring Africa together. Hope African leaders can work on that.

Algerian1:
Do you know the origin of the word africa , african and wich people were called africcans hundreds years before it was generalized to the rest of the continent ?

No idea about the source but Africa to me tend to mean Black which most of N.Africans aren't.

bantudra:
run...??
why should i run....??am not interested in kenya.....

Run from this page coz it will not stop until your grandpa Buhari transform's your economy.

Lionessza6:
That's Nigerians for you , wait till they start posting fake news on social media and here on nairaland about "innocent and hardworking " Nigerians getting killed in Kenya by jealous Kenyan men . It seems like you are their latest favourite " holiday" destination now . I wonder why Tanzania decided to stop them from visiting without a visa .

I watched the clip and was like what the he'll was that.
You know most of them are Yahoo boys hence can easly play with most Nigerians.

We have cases where by most of the deported Nigerians comeback. If truly they were being killed what would make them come back.

rvp2018:
Yeap there is a touch of spanish & arabic architecture - but clearly they've made their oil count. Nigeria has more oil than Algeria..but it shithole.

It is so sad men, Nigeria is just a disgrace to African race.

Been watching documentaries about the immigrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea, I understand when I see immigrants from Mali,Gambi,Niger,Chad,Somalia... It is so hurting and sickening when you see Nigerians with them. This people should be crossing to Nigeria, S.A,Kenya, Botwana, Namibia.....

bantudra:
look at the title of this thread and tell me nigerians dont have the right to defend themselfs....

you kenyas should have stayed away from this thread from the start,but you didnt.....now you are feelin the backlash....

What backlash Who is crying here . You don't know Kenyans. Ask Africans on twitter and Tanzanian on their main forum JF.

Just run.

Algerian1:
To much stupidities . dont talk about things you know nothing about ....

The cliché of arab in desert ans camals ? Seriously ? Its a bit racist . you will tell me that north affrican are arabs invaders to ? And you say there was nothing before oil was discover ? Do you know any thing about north african history ? , popuation ? civilisations before colonisation ? Man try to google history of north africa than come to discuss .

And to not derail this thread with of topic i will be happy to correct all your wrong info about north affrican in this thread about algeria : https://www.nairaland.com/4155711/welcome-algeria-pics

Men Algeria is so so beautiful, brace your selves for immigrants from Nigeria.

bantudra:
that was not my experience in europe...they loved the song nigeria jagajaga back then....i didnt understood why....
you are happy that your fellow broda is not doing well...??...i was very confused....
now,after reading comments on nairaland,noooooooooooooooooooooo,thank you....

stay away....

You do not understand what brought Kenyans here.

Nigerians were trashing Kenyans like it's another Somalia, they were so ignorant.

We don't care how Nigeria is doing just fix your issues and do not runaway from from it like the millions of you are doing.

Jonraid:
But you know the key countries in this discussion right? The North African country's haven't been so vigorous in the AU.I think the Mediterranean Union or the Arab League makes much sense to you than the AU. Gaddafi brought a lot of hope and seemed much more interested in AU affairs but both Libya and him were taken to the dogs!

I work with several Egyptian's and every time we tell them we don't consider them Africans, they bust in rage ...

Honestly I don't consider North Africans as Africans, they are closer to Arabs than Africans.
