Shma2020: I like this Accra Vs Nairobi debate. I know at the end of the day, kibera and slums will be the rhythm. This is how a desperate hobbit on a grand scheme of things is wired to think.
Good you have accepted defeat
You can go back to Steven blog and learn more about Accra, It is not your play mate
rvp20182: Nairobi paved road is close to 90 percent. Only in slums and such places...where buildings are not approved...and will eventually be demolished. Otherwise you cannot get approval to build anything without very serious plan to build your own tarmac to the main tarmac, build your own sewage line to the main sewage, and connect all the utilities.
that's funny, cause just in the center of Nairobi, most of the roads there are unpaved
90% of Nairobi roads were paved, Kenya paved road network will be more than what it is now
rvp20182: In Nairobi unless you live in slum; you cannot be allowed to subdivide a plot or have a building approved; unless you can prove you will tarmac the roads, connect to power, sewage and all that. So this make plots very expensive. In Nairobi metro - that is Ghana - you can get away with anything.
And that explains why Nairobi has so many slum dwellers and a lot of untarred roads
I was busy giving him informations i already knew and even directed him to free online stuff for him to update his knowledge about his country and the things he sort to discuss but had no clue about
Good to know that you also know nothing about the internet
Shma2020: No. It's you who don't know sh*t. You were busy googling information to debunk him only to be beaten with your own you tube videos.
rvp20182: In kenya we call that Shagmodoz. It mean someone who just arrived from the village and has no class. CLASS is subtle. This we learnt from the British upper class who settled in kenya. Not the MacBullshiet who settled in Ghana - those Irish or scotish low class Britons messed you up.
So for example if you're building a house - if there is a big tree in your plot - that is worthy more than all concrete you can buy - cement is cheap - 5 dollars a bag. If you just arrive from the village - seeing all the trees - you will start with the tree - and go crazy on cement - pouring concrete all over - only to realize you've created a concrete slum - you cannot sit on the grass, or you kids cannot even play on the tree.
Look at your entire coastline - it worth so much - but in west africa it worthless -you actually made the sewage
Kenyans in General dont have class and we can see that in your construction and decor
And that explains why Houses in Karen and Runda use pit lattrines, such backward stuff.
rvp20182: It has nothing to do with mansions. If you can afford to buy an acre of Nairobi - then you can build 10 floor building; but do you want to do that? Will the resident association allow you to built such monstriety.
There is actually a lot - that make upper class estates - and most of it - is less about pouring CONCRETE.
Look at that Mike house in Banana - gold plated ugly looking monstrity
Seem you dont know what a mansion is
Mike mansion is super beautiful and gold makes it even more luxurious in it simplicity
rvp20182: I watched them all; None would be considered in Nairobi to be upper class. They are middle class. We have gone through the criteria again but Nairobi anything sitting less than 1/2 an acre per unit is not even worth talking about.
Kenya upper class is like this: Ahmednassir is top lawyer in kenya; went to UON and harvard; and of somali descent; he is a billionaire in Kshs; and live in Karen.
This just example of many kenya proffesional - watch his house in Karen.
Shma2020: After Rvp has deconstructed your brain on Internet penetration the only comeback that came on your mind was to compare Nigeria real estate with kenya ? Why are you being desperate my nigga? Why can't you compare that with yours and let Nigerians speak for themselves?
Rvp does not know shit
I have had to teach him how the internet works this afternoon and stuff about your backward country Kenya
rvp20182: Stop googling. I can teach you the internet here for free using internet . Let me know if you want the low level....we can do from IP packets....to routing tables...to all the protocols...or you want a something you can understand....and I can help break it down for you.
rvp20182: It depend on your ISP or your MTN. MTN may decide to route their traffic to South Africa IXP. Sometimes it doesnt make sense because Africa -most of traffic - people will be looking for servers in US or Europe. Nairaland for example is probably hosted in the US - so it almost pointless to go through local IXP.
So it depend on your ISP. They can decide to try local IXP - or if they have cached previous routes - they can hit the undersea cable directly - or like MTN- they can go first to South Africa or whatever.
IXP in africa is a nice to have but not critical - most of traffic is international - except maybe in South Africa - where there is a lot of CDN and Amazon Servers.
Know the difference between an ISP and an IXP
all ISP data goes to an IXP where that data is exchange with they world through global fiber optic cables.
It is at the IXP where a country total traffic is measured.
we are not table about where a website is hosted, dont be dumb.
Where a website is hosted has nothing to do with me accessing that network using my Internet Service Provider whose data gets transmitted at the internet Exchange Point to global fiber optic cables.
The Internet is a Network of Internet Exchange Points
rvp20182: I dont need to watch any video. I did proper computer science degree. I have moonlighted in campus in an ISP. That you can call local traffic = international traffic is crazy. If I am not wrong when it comes to IPX or local domains (.ke) - kenya is only second to South Africa.
Please your MINI ZOO doesn't feature in IT technology. Let Nigeria diaspora speak.
Kenya is MILES ahead.
You are dumb
you dont know how the internet even works
you didn't no computer science and knows nothing about computers
kenya is nowhere in Africa internet infrastructure hence it small traffic
rvp20182: Little knowledge is very dangerous. That is why you can proudly say a country can consume 200GB of data per day. That is how many videos...maybe 1000 movies?
IPX is for ROUTING LOCAL TRAFFIC....this is just arrangement by ISPs to lower cost.......so they reduce international traffic...that go to undersea cables. And the time.
Kenya has I think 4 undersea cables - with 7 terrabyte capacity - but about 4.5 terrabytes are used - the rest are unused.
Find out how many undersea fiber are in Ghana - and what their capacity is - and what has been lit or used. That will give you international traffic.
IPX is local exchange btw local ISPs - asking themselves do you have this data locally - or do we hit the sea and go fetch it from US or Europe or wherever.
The whole point of IPX is to save money and time - by avoiding international traffic - it therefore NOT INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC at all....it local traffic....request fulfilled by servers hosted in Ghana.
And last I checked Kenya had more IPXes than Ghana...only second to South Africa. Maybe Ghana has one...
So all of Kenya traffic passes through it IXP which calculate it inbound and outbound traffic
rvp20182: I see where you getting confused. Let me help kid. IPX doesnt mean all the data goes there. IPX is for ISP to route LOCAL traffic - and avoid international traffic.For example if you're in kenya - and want to access a kenya site - say kenya.co.ke - it get routed locally- IPX - otherwise international data - get routed through undersea cable operators and few satellite operators.
PLEASE stop posting stuff you do not understand.
30 GB traffic per day - That is very tiny - even a village can exhaust that
you are really dumb
See how I've exposed you for the fraud you are.... never call yourself an IT guy here again....
Watch this video and learn what an internet exchange point is
All ISP data passes through an IXP both for local traffic...
Some countries have several IXP but Kenya has one and Ghana has 2......
If anyone can remember what happened in Hong Kong in 2019 or so when China shut down Hong Kong IXP, no one in Hong Kong could access the internet, because all traffic passes through the University campus IXP
Global fiber optic cables go to an IXP where ISP cables goes to inter exchange with the world global cables
rvp20182: You telcom regulator should have such data if you were not a MINI ZOO. Try MTN - they might have some statistics - and as dominant market player - you can extrapolate.
yet everyone knows that only 40% of your population use the internet
rvp20182: what is 200 gigabytes per day; the amount of Indecency that get watched in an hour in kenya alone; would consume all that data.
The State of Mobile Data in Kenya defines the journey to consuming an estimated 269 million gigabytes in 2018 on the road to crossing 1 billion gigabytes in 2022.
When I do my calculation - it's now 1.5 exabyte - that 1.5 billion of gigabytes.
I guess you dont know the difference between internet data and internet traffic
dumb kid, yet you say you are an IT guy
Go to your internet exchange point and see your country tiny internet traffic
rvp20182: Usual choleric written diarhoea. Kenya has had the highest internet penetration for quite some time. South Africa beat kenya on Fiber to Home - where they have more than 2M while kenya is approaching 1M households connect to fiber. Ghana doesnt even have 50k fiber to homes - MTN fiber to home in Ghana I bet are still under 50k
Tantrums as usual
Kenyans dont even know what the internet is or what it can be used for
rvp20182: Which facts? What is Ghana Total International Bandwidth - available and Used. Go first - so you dont do your childish stance of randomly adding a figure above kenya.
The facts about internet traffic from both countries
