This Dude has joined already!!!!

Industrial Area Bunyala road

Nairobi Is the fourth largest city in Africa after Cairo,Johannesburg and Casablanca in terms of infrastructure and development.

Industrial area.
Nairobi has one of the highest industrialization south of sahara.,with industrial area of Nairobi covering almost 1/4 of the city,covering Mombasa road up to Athi river(Kitengela),Lunga Lunga area,Enterprise road and Babadogo.Thika town is almost purely industrial economy.
Kenya serves east and central Africa with processed goods.80% of house hold commodities in Kenya are "made in Kenya".

@ ayettymama (f)

Its extremely tourist friendly.Tourism is one of the Kenya's key economic strengths.TRY IT AND YOU WILL NEVER FORGET the hospitality!!!!!!

@Shoot2Kill
I agree with you to some extend.But Egypt is too good to miss top 5.
Well,most of the Countries in Africa are working hard on infrastructure.For example In Kenya,Ethiopia infrastructure is given the biggest portion of budget.These two countries are a force to watch in the coming 2 years;World class highways are under way there,Modernized ports,Airports are under construction;light gauge high speed railways criss crossing Kenya joining neighboring countries is also underway.

@RichyBlacK (m)
Come back to ur senses!!
Somali?Congo?Sudan? May be Zimbabwe before Mugabe made great mistakes.

@ sharr your order reflects something good.

Guys.Any recent pics on Nairobi-Thika highway?

Where are photos of Nairobi's industrial area?And Thika as well.I saw Nairobi has a really very big area purely under manufacturing industries along mombasa road and enterprise roads.

Post some here.

@Ziga

How many countries in Africa have you been?Me I have been to 18 countries, to start with :-
1.SUDAN(stretching from north to south), Guys here survive by the mercy of God.Their currency is very strong , they export alot of oil but dont understand the meaning here coz the poverty index is well above 80% if am not wrong.
2.EGYPT is like they are not part of Africa continent.Foolish poverty does not exist and they have very good policies in place.Cairo is like its in another planet.They are self sufficient in agriculture though the whole country is a desert.Transport sector is fanatstic(high speed diesel trains, electric trains plying allover Cairo and Alexandria like busses,Roads are super class,one of the biggest airports in Africa and middle east),Best education.Peace prevails all over and security is the best in the continet 24/7.
3.DRC , the country with the highest mineral resources in Africa is completely down coz of political instability.There are some goons with lots of money coz of minerals but the rest of the population struggles with poverty.
4.CAMEROON is damaged by corruption but the manufacturing and agriculture economies are good.Roads have been neglected,, wealth is with few pple, but not so bad though it supplies processed goods to Chad, Gabon and Congo Brazzaville.
5.ZAMBIA is not doing so well despite having alot of copper
6.ZIMBAMBWE is dead.

7.SOUTH AFRICA is no boubt  the giant of Africa(allaround economy) tho unemployment still bites a little with lots of muggers  and pick pockets in Johannesburg.Best education institutions are there.
They are hosting world cup this year. They have build next generation stadia which will be a benefit after the world cup.They willl reap alot from the world and their status is changed for good.They are one of the G20 members.They are top 20 industriaqlized countries in the world.Biggest airline in africa.

8.RWANDA is trying to recover from 1994 genocide but poverty and poor wealth distribution still persist.They rely heavily on agriculture and they are yet to have local proffesionals, they depend on Chinese, Kenyans and Ugandans brains.

9.BURUNDI is almost on its knees even you can see from peoples faces at Bunjubura the capital city,but of late they signed cease fire with rebels and things will improve.
10.UGANDA  is trying, Agriculture is doing well,Education sector one of the best,they recently struck oil and if they dont get the oil curse they will do fine.A country to watch!!
.
11.TANZANIA is doing well in agriculture,tourism,diamond mining,.Wealth is distributed well accross the country but percapita is low.

12.KENYA  is the power house of East and cental Africa dominating agriculture.,education,manufacturing(you will always see "made in Kenya" on almost 85% of anything you consume with industrial zone covering 1/3 of nairobi the capital city),banking,Transport ,infrastructure,tourism and ICT technology markets(THE FIRST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TO SEND MONEY VIA MOBILE PHONE BACK IN 2004),,the country equally developed but corruption in the government  still sucks  but the corrruption effect doesnt afeect the economic growth on the downward terend, they are shooting high no matter what.Multinational companies prefer to have their Head Quaters for Africa in Nairobi due to its position to penetrate the continent(thanks to kenya Airways and friendly policies) and that is giving Kenya advantege.USA also uses Kenya as Terrorist fighting base and that comes with a package and risks of being alqaeda targets also.These have made good progress in creating employments copuled with well eductaed population and good business policies.

13.SOMALI  is a failed state.

14.GABON is ok  coz of oil revenues ,but corruption is too much and is like they never manufacture anything locally, they import even beer.
15.ETHIOPIA is another stable country but they dont embrace technolgy.they are rigid to change. but they are  well at least in several sectors.like infrastructure,electricity,transport.
16.DJIBOUTI no comments.
17.SAO TOME , A population of 150,000 people, is like  everybody knows each other,  they depend on international aid  , but they hope to strike oil at the coast line,
18.Angola, A force to reckon, Lots of money coming in , infrastructure coming up day and night, wait and see.

FINALLY NAIJA-HOME., Has the highest number of cars(close to the total of the continent),biggest  oil exporter,Lots of educated population,the biggest local trade with lots of it population being business men , every european country need to market in NAIJA, electricity is in a mess,Has the gighest urbanisation, guys have money to spend around,
we are the  highest in corruption in the continent(but this is because every eye is on us, there are other countries which are equally corrupt e.g Cameroon).Nigeria syas alot as far as africa is concerned.Toughest business men emege from here.best brains are here even if is frauds or hacking systems talk of Nigeria, We are the only country in the world where an indivindual cannot send money out of the country by western union coz of the fraud threat and that says alot on innovation.
Movie industry is also doing so well , Nigerian movies are viewed allover the continet.Some countries think Naija is an extraordinary place.They fancy Nollywood actors and actress even to an extent of naming their kids after them.

Yes I know we fair worse in GDP,but am talking about wealth distribution.
Can you imagine country like Chad has hig
her per capita income than Naija, but the poverty bites to the spinal cord.

# 27 Chad: $1,744.00
# 28 Comoros: $1,717.00
# 29 São Tomé and Príncipe: $1,638.00
# 30 Togo: $1,600.00
# 31 Côte d'Ivoire: $1,475.00
# 32 Rwanda: $1,431.00
# 33 Congo, Republic of the: $1,379.00
# 34 Mozambique: $1,335.00
# 35 Burkina Faso: $1,326.00
# 36 Nigeria: $1,188.00
# 37 Central African Republic: $1,163.00

Sudan has a GDP of $2417 almost 2 times more than Nigeria but close to 70% of the population(Families) lives b below $1 per day.
Which means they cannot afford daily meals unless international agencies convene.
Nothing to be called roads infrastructure.


What am trying to picture here is the well being of indivinduals,not the wealth at the disposal of the government / big bellied politicians to squander.

Yes you are right,but the list reflect some order I guess.

1.south africa. . . . . GDP $277bln
2.Nigeria, GDP $212bln
3.Egypt, GDP $205bln
4.Tunisia/Morocco GDP $187bln
5.Angola, GDP $123bln
6.Algeria GDP $112bln
7.Kenya, GDP $85bln
8.Botswana GDP $78 bln

Guys,Development is measured by GDP.Percapita is useless.Travel around and compare living standards of individuals and see the poverty rocking African countries like Gabon and Guinea who have high per capita income.
The Africa countries which enjoy quality life in average are:
1.Egypt
2.South Africa
3.Tunisia
4.Nigeria
5.Ghana
6.Kenya
7.Botswana

Guys.Percapita income is useless if individuals leads poor lives

Let it never happen.It can be far much bad a disaster than Haiti quake abeg.

There are nice places in Africa but Ghana is far from reaching to those heights.

Talk of Cairo(Egypt),Nairobi(Kenya),Abuja(Nigeria),Capetown(RSA),Daresalaam(Tanzania) and Mombasa(Kenya).

If Abuja was at a coast line and a all round good climate as the likes of Nairobi, no other city will be near it in the south of sahara,

I had not been to Eastern Africa before.Recently I visited Kenya cities -Nairobi,Mombasa, Nakuru,Eldoret and Kisumu cruising by road and could not believe my eyes.The trunk roads are fantastic and you will never imagine going by air.
This country is really classic and is evenly developed from the coast line of Indian ocean to the west.
Nairobi to me is one of the greatest cities,Mombasa is great as well and not forgetting Nakuru and Kisumu are world class with shopping malls equal to the ones found in Europe.
Nairobi is no doubt one of the greatest cities I have seen and more so if we consider Kenya is a non mineral economy.
These Guys are doing so good with the little resources they have.

Thumbs up!!!
Who have ever been able to visit Kenya and travel accross the country?

Go ahead and revenge coz your dad took away your love.Tit for tat is a fair game.

Strike it and give us a report her.
