rvp2018: Information on Nairobi is easy to find and verify. The house of any budget - house hunting in Kenya is a one-afternoon affair - you just walk around - and every apartment has TO LET sign - you pay a monthly rent and a month deposit - and you're in - no need for electricity deposit coz it pre-paid.
You can arrive at the airport today and in about an hour - you've rented a house - for a month - with all utilities - for less than 50 dollars - if you want to stay in studio or single room in concrete slum
1) 2,500 in pipeline - that is 20 euros a month - has DSTV connection, internet, name it. You pay 25 dollars one month and one month deposit -
Please stop posting nasty stuff.... Why do they all have gates instead of doors?
In Ghana, People rent better 1 bedroom self contain which has a hall, portch, kitchen, toilet and bathroom withing for less 25 dollars. And there are plenty of houses for rent They have their own electricity meters and pay monthly for water.......
Rent here is paid in 6 months advance, if you want to pay monthly, better look for an Air B n B to rent else you will have to build or buy your own house.
rvp2018: No, in West Africa, they stay in the backyards of the main house, that they pay rent for one year, and such. In fact getting a house is so difficult people have to bandy together - or even borrow 2yr loan.
Your housing sector is undeveloped.
Nairobi has every kind of housing for every kind of need. Each on their own zones. There is no mixing!
rvp2018: Pipeline concrete slumscrappers have more highrises than Accra and Kumasi combined. Many such concrete slumscrappers in Nairobi for young people who are starting life - and want to get a studio or self-contained for 30-50 dollars a month.
rvp2018: I think you wanted to say how does an intersection in the middle of nowhere turn Accra into anything but a shanty town. Otherwise, if you meant Africa's only elevated highway - that seek to slash commute time along that nearly 30km busy corridor from 2hrs to 20mins! hen you're confirming as you won't daily your mental illness.
This road will potentially reduce commute time along that section 6 times!
See comments like this - am from jhb but I can promise you that Nairobi is becoming Africa's biggest metropolis in the next few years. All funds are going to head that side for a number of reasons. If I want to invest, that is also my first choice.
Useless arguments, when presented with video evidence like this, should really cease
rvp2018: How does a bus terminal help Lagos WORD worst commute. When will Lagosians stop waking up at 4am to get to work - and arrive at 10 pm - back home?
rvp2018: Some Africa countries like Ghana and Nigeria are just hopeless. They shout China (who offer the best development LOAN comparable to imf/wb - almost zero rated) but look at how much they have ramped up Eurobond - and interest there is a killer - nearly 8-10 percent for Ghana.
I wont even give credence to this .....
If you want proper loans with no stringent conditions ... Borrow on the Eurobond Market unless you are a poor corrupt country...
Budget for sectors are meant to take care of Capital expenditure....
Wages and salaries Care paid through the General Wage Bill which is a separate account for the Public and Civil service
rvp2018: How can you pay 360,000 personel with 2B dollars It simple maths. There is no way you can pay more than kenya.
Kenya 30K forces can beat Boko Haram in a week - because they are very motivated with good salaries ( starting from around 400 dollars - with majors earning upto 3000 dollars per annum - generals earning upto 10K usd per month) - they also have latest equipment - if they die in war - their families get paid about 80,000USD as life insurance - therefore they are well motivated - they are disciplined - they are required to have military degree or be promoted every 8 yrs or they go home.
That is how to have proffesional military - not just bodies of ill-trained militia like Ethiopia or DRC Congo or Nigeria - coz what will militia really help you with except go harrasing civilians. Kagame tiny force took a week to get to Kinshasas - because DRC army is a joke - they rarely get salaries - they just have uniforms and know how to fire a gun. This basically what you do - I have seen even passout parades - it a joke - no serious training - then just issue the guy with uniforms and a gun - and call it an army - and dont pay the guy that much - or even pay them with food rations like some Africa countries do...MILITIA.
Even KANU the Igbo boy was starting to give your problems - thank kenya topnotch security forces - who got him and bundled him to KQ - to Abuja. Kenya is not a place to launch military campaign from - big mistake he made there.
The highest crade of staff in kenya gov are teachers - they number 200,000 - and total education budget is 5-6B dollars - and almost exclusively for salaries.
rvp2018: You retrogressed to Just30 mad levels. This is very desperate post.
Let not go into salaries comparison - you will lose. Kenya private earn more than Nigeria Major. Dont waste your time...your ethiopia like army of 360,000 personell...are nearly on the same budget with kenya lean force of 25,000. DO NOT GO THERE I think both countries are now on budget of 1.5B dollars - one support a lean proffesional army of 25k - one support a milita like Ethiopia one of 360K paid with beans and yams or if at all - a cowardly milita that run away from Boko Haram.
And finally what has Dangote Refinery or Lekki port or Oil refineries - got anything to do with Nigeria gov.
This very desperate level - try to elevate a little bit.
Lunatic Dog
Go borrow some brain cells so you can make reasonable argument
AfriqueDuZuid: I believe Amazon, Google, Facebook, Twitter did not see much of that vision
Because they choose other countries to build institutions, real estate and headquarters in other countries in Africa. Even after Konza city was commissioned
What will they be doing in Kenya, when they need so much electricity to be able to put up any sensible real investment ?
Saddamochieng00: [s]I know you was ret@rded but I never realized that you're actually brain-dead. We're comparing each others sewage systems. Do you by any chance live in New York?
Last time I checked you come from that disgraceful village that nobody dares bring up when talking serious issues about Africa. Where have you ever travelled and found your people treated in high regard.
You stupid Ghanians need to learn your place in society. Here in the East we hold it down that's why you won't see any of our neighbours coming here to talk trash. You're lucky you have Naija who're too pussyfied to put you in your place.[/s]
rvp2018: Mad Cow 1) Sludge - Semi-solid 2) Watch the Newyork video you shared - and let me know the part where Newyork transport untreated sewage sludge 3) Ghana just going by you and the other of your kind here - despite all the minerals - is frankly hopeless. 4) There is a reason why despite all the minerals - you remain poor - like Nigeria - and kenya without none is doing great 5) Sewage technology has little room for innovation - sewer lines will continue to take grey water to be treated - at sewer plants - except in west africa that lucks such basic infrastructure. 6) One of the reason you cannot build apartments and tall buildings is lack of sewer lines...not earthquake.
Sludge simply means used and discarded wet liquid and semi-liquid substance....
Sludge is not crude oil....
In the marine Industry where I work, our Sludge is usually used diesel, petrol, dirty oils and etc, they all end up in our sludge tank... When we get to shore, we pump it out into takers which take them for recycling...
New York sludge that is transported by train and ships are totally untreated raw sewage, go and watch the videos again dumb head...
Your country Kenya is overflowing with faecal matter because you guys are stack in the past with 1800s tech... And that is why Cholera(a disease of the poor) is still killing y'all in kenya...
Yet every sane country has permit for sewage to be trucked, railed or sailed across town
Kenya is not a serious country and will remain undeveloped because you guys ain't ready to invest in proper tech Countries have modernised from those open pit sewage treatment systems because they cause lots of pollution
Sludge is just a word to describe the nature of the material. Should we call it crude oil for you to understand.
What you transport in Ghana is untreated - straight from your cesspool - to the Atlantic or some forest or treatment plant - it is why cholera epidemics have happened a lot in your country.
What they have in New York or my town is a different problem- disposing of treated sludge - water has been squeezed out - bacteria killed - this now safe (if unlike Ghana it doesn't have heavy metals) - and can be dumped anywhere.
NO SANE COUNTRY WILL ALLOW TRANSPORTATION OF UNTREATED SLUDGE or MAKE IT A CORNER STONE OF THEIR SANITATION.
Your country is therefore a joke.
Start to build proper sewage systems by investing money in underground pipe work for grey water and all the materials that get flushed down from kitchen and bathrooms.
rvp2018: RAW SEWAGE SLUDGE - that you pick from overflowing soak pits and cesspits - taken to be treated or dumped in Altantic - this is Ghana (and even parts of Kenya do this)
Treated Sludge - that need to be dumped as manure or burnt as fuel for thermal electricity - this is the modern developed proper way.
Understand the DIFFERENCE!
You don't even know what sludge is and what manure is..... Manure is the end product that can be use for Africulture purposes and it carries no awful smell... Sludge stinks badly because it is raw sewage
Your country is still practising this outdated shit and that is why when it rain, everywhere in kenya get polluted with sewage....
Even when it doesn't rain, the pollution to the environment is already by
Modernise oo
You don't even know what sludge is and what manure is..... Manure is the end product that can be use for Africulture purposes and it carries no awful smell... Sludge stinks badly because it is raw sewage
The Morons in Kenya are still practising a system the keep spilling faecal matter into kenyan homes
Fuvking disgusting
rvp2018: So because there is permit to transport sludge that mean NewYork run on network of soakpits and cesspool like Lagos or Accra. Please do not be a slowpoke like you friend who just argue for it's sake.
What is so difficult to build underground sewage using concrete pipes - it's one of cheapest investment infrastructure wise - and nearly every town in Kenya has it.
Why would a city envisage a situation where you transport raw sewage? Leaking bacteria and spreading disease all over the streets? What happens in accidents.
As for TREATED Sludge - that can be transported anytime. This my local town asking anybody to pick it up
Kericho Water & Sanitation Co. Ltd ttASmprepsdodinsorli t2etd3 · Photos of kericho water sewerage treatment plant, treated sewage sludge for agricultural use is also available free of charge. If you are interested please liase with the office.
When it rains small, the entire Kenya starts smelling of Human excreta because they burst open the flood gates of sewage into homes and streets ..... And that is why the people of Karen and Runda have refused to connect their homes to any central sewage lines in Kenya....
They rather opt for self sewage systems, but because kenyan craftsmen are not smart enough to build proper self sewage systems ... they ended up with pit lattrines
Ive already given you what Newyork does, they pump their sewage unto trains and ships to take them to treatment plants...
ANd so many cities does same, infact most city dwellers are opting for self sewage systems... Especillay those with their own compound homes
rvp2018: Eti Newyork is runnig what system. Mad cow indeed. Don't confuse transportation of treated or dried sludge at the sewage treatment plant from your pathetic raw sewer from cesspool and soakpits.
Otherwise if NewYork run on cesspools and cesspits that indeed very shocking = mad cow
No modern city I am ware run any other systems except to sewer lines buried underground.
No city in any serious country will allow transportation of raw sewage in trucks. Newyork has a lot of stuff buried underground - including sewer lines, gas lines, steam pipes, name it.
In kenya typical urban definitely has electricity, water line, fiber line and sewer line.
rvp2018: Say what Every house in New York is connected to sewer line - the sewer line - transport - it underground to the 14 treatment plant. As for sludge from treatment plant - well that can be transported anywhere. The sludge at that point is dried and safe...not raw sewers full of bacteria and disease like you have in Ghana and Nigeria - where sewer lines are a foreign concept - and everyone keep their shit - until it flood and entire city smell.
West Africa zoomen.
You are so dumb
New York transport it sludge(raw faecal matter) by rail and ships....
rvp2018: When did you know about kenya re-basing? Kenya just doesn't re-base like Ghana or TZ did recently. You ideally should only re-base after say a census or such heavy data collections. Most developed countries are able to do census of some form every 5yrs - and therefore has good data to re-base every 5yrs.
Kenya has recently done census in 2019 and a national household survey in 2016 (2015/16 Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey) - and therefore there is a good data basis to re-base now.
You really wish you where on Ghana level
Ghana receives almost accurate census data every year so ...we almost certainly know where all our economic indicators should be and we do proper planning accordingly..
We don't just get up and do rebasing like dumb Kenya does....
Your leaders just get up and bundle up numbers out of their ass meanwhile the real economy exposes them daily...
Should Ghana decide to rebase it economy today, GDP will increase by more than 150% because of undermined sectors of the economy like Automobile, Real Estate and the financial market... especially Derivatives
rvp2018: Mad cow just ranting aimlessly. I dont any other modern country running your kind of nonsense. Sewage systems world over is through pipes - not through trucks.
Where do you put all the oil and gold money
Every house in an urban area - should at most have an electricity line, water line, and sewer line. These are the basic utilities.
Lunatic Dog
New York is running similar...
and likewise most cities
All our oil and gold monies are going into building modern infrastructure and eliminating old nonsense that kenya so cherish
We don't want stuff that easily pollute communities with faecal matter like you see daily in kenya.
rvp2018: In Kenya every water company does two functions - bring in clean water from clean sources that are treated - and take away grey or wastewater to their sewage treatment plant - and release it back to the rivers. There inlet pipe for clean water - and an outlet (using culvert mostly) for grey water.
Those in urban areas - are water and sewage companies - and you pay the variable water bill passed on usage and constant monthly fee for sewage.
Those that users soakpits or cesspits - are not covered - and that is where investment is made on.
But to imagine a country can make delivering of sludge through trucks their sewage system and call it modern is the CRAZY things you get in West Africa.
rvp2018: Delivering sludge from your overfilled cesspits and soak pits with a truck is not an invention - it something to be shameful about. Are you too poor to construct a modern sewage line?
Running an environmental mess in Kenya that pollute communities daily with raw human faecal matter is a disgrace that you shouldn't post anywhere....
The rich in kenya who have learnt their lessons have decided to opt for their own sewage systems by building pit lattrines which is an even bigger disgrace....
rvp2018: Apparently, they have invented a new way to treat sewage. The rest of the world is still on the old technology. The Ghana mad man is a specimen.
Boy, its not a new invention and we didn't invent it..
It has been in existence for at least 20 years .... get to the modern standards
rvp2018: Back to sludge delivered by trucks - Such kind of nonsense. Start building a modern waste system. Wastewater (grey water) should be piped to central places - and treated. Not in cesspools and cesspits unless you want to condemn your underground water.
We already have a modern wastewater system
We don't seek to repeat the mess in Kenya where sewage lines are leaking raw human excretal into communities....
Sorry kiddo Our builders are great at what they do Local sewage treatment only affect groundwater, when it is not done properly like you see in Kenya...
Our builders use a waterproof mix to prevent water from going in or out... They use plastic before the foundation reinforced concrete is cast...
Teach your builders proper building technologies and kenya wont have the sewage mess it currently has.
