rvp20182: Nairobi is literally the green city in the sun - with two forests - game park -within it's border- and do you know green spaces occupy more than half of Nairobi - about 250KM squared. Talk is cheap - and even poor Accra can afford it.
I know too much about sloganeering to know that you are not serious.
In Accra, the entire city is green because we have learnt how to build our house and plant fruit trees. The exception is industrial areas.
rvp20182: Well, green is a broad term, but definitely green meaning trees and such, Nairobi got it, except the east part of it. Nairobi was named the world 11th most ecological city - with CT at about 50.
sure but in green including trees, your Nairobi was below average.
Being ecofriendly does not necessarily means green in trees.
rvp20182: Making the entire city a slum is not a solution to poverty - it's actually making that poverty endemic. If a company want to move to Accra and all they see is the mess - they will move to Nairobi - employ people - who will employ others etc.
that is why our entire city is not a slum
I can't say same for Nairobi where 80% of it is a slum. And poverty is rampant.
Building affordable housing in kenya will not remove the slums in Kenya especially when the poor can't afford it..
Meanwhile companies are establishing in Ghana on the daily basis. Creating more jobs and that is why we have a lower unemployment rate than your country.
Allowing poor people to own container stores in order to make a living daily in a city resolves issues of drug abuse, crimes infestation and also reduce extreme poverty and prevent slums like you will find in Kenya.
Because they will have enough money to rent proper houses and send their children to the university or polytechnic and training colleges.
In America, the FBI create and support drug lords in order to reduce drug crimes and control the drug trade. Else they will have a catastrophe on their hand.
I don't know why you equate container stores to slums.
rvp20182: For those who likes to see Nairobi slums - here is another one - Kawangware slum - would be upper class by West Africa - a slum is a slum. A city by Ghana standard with even more skyscrapper than Accra
You so badly want to put Nairobi on the level of Accra but it's not working.
Your slumpolis Nairobi with 8 million slum dwellers need to work hard to provide better housing so people can get out of this terrible slums in Nairobi.
In Ghana, Even slum dwellers live in at least something that can be term better housing in Nairobi than these zinc and mud houses.
Shma2020: It is 'dumb' not 'dimb'. You have auto correct machine, dictionary prediction and all sort of English help machine but you can't take care of it?
Zombie, that thing is a scam! Go and prove it to your stupid hobbits and not intelligent tall kenyan like me
The moment you'll realize how backwater you country is, that is when you'll quit nairaland for good. For the mean time, enjoy your reverse view of things.

Rants of a short dwarf who needs to convince himself that he is tall in order to bulld some self esteem
Fact is my country is too developed for your country to compare.
A one city country whose city can barely compare to Kumasi
How comes one can easily adjust time and the same same light display will show? That should tell alot.
And my findings proves that Nairobi County is fully covered with light unlike your slum ridden village of hobbits where only half of Accra is covered with it.
See.
now you are blaming the link
Villager
One can adjust time because it is a data base and no light is visible in day time.
Your country is undeveloped and a village, don't blame the satellite.
So Nairobi county is smaller than Kumasi, that is why it is struggling to catch up to Kumasi.
Saddamochieng00: Where exactly did he say this....Why are you even engaging in this convo in the first place. We talking about cities not villages so go fvck your goat foolish perv.
finally
We just met the goat fuvker from kenya
The fact that you find nothing wrong with doing animals does not mean everyone doesn't.
Frustrated kenyan from a village
The best kenya has done was to move people from villages and place them in slums
rvp20182: All that is data. Cement when poured creates structures that WE CAN SEE WITH the NAKED EYE. Cement companies themselves become so rich they build big offices and even expand - their owners become DANGOTES .
Ghana banks would grow enough to even expand to Togo and build huge office blocks.
When it comes to electricity - manufactured goods from Ghana - should show up somewhere. It should not be Nigeria - we have 100B dollars agriculture - and yet we world biggest food importer.
We can go on and on - the balance sheets of your utilities - like Ghana Water, ECH, and name - should show that consumption! It doesn't! ghana water - nationally - has 0.5m customers! just imagine that!!!!!!!!. The electricity company is normally in IMF ICU ward.
Therefore we can conclude there are data integrity issues or just lack of seriousness West Africa style.
This Nigeria claiming to be self-sufficient in rice production - while 10M BENIN is importing tonnes and tonnes of rice from Thailand, Veitnam and India...all destined for Nigeria.
[/s]
all I see is rants for why kenya is still undeveloped
rvp20182: Economic growth should MANIFEST itself in development that naked eye can see. Anything else is cooking Nigeria style. If you go to Asia growing countries - you can use common sense to know it's growing.
If you cannot use common sense - to see economic growth of Ghana - there is a problem.
Ghana has failed SPECTACULARLY the picture and common sense test.
For Nigeria - we know they have been in Oil induced recession since 2014!
What is obvious the average Ghanian is like you Just30 - a pathological liar - and that is why every year you claim to have Ethiopia like growth - but nobody see it.
Ethiopia has turned from 2nd world poorest country with bottom every indices to what it is now.
Do you see Adis Ababa - and you see tall buildings - cranes - and new stuff
The fact that Kenya has failed massively does not mean everyone has.
Growth drives huge cement consumption ( meaning there is a housing boom) Huge electricity consumption (meaning there is more growth in disposable incomes and industrial growth)
Huge water consumption ( means healthy living for citizens and indicates industrial growth as well)
All of these have remained stagnant in Kenya, at least Ethiopia is growing and you can see it in their demand for these things. Kenya has been cooking data for decades now yet 35 million kenyans are slum dwellers and 42 million are poor.
rvp20182: DarSaleem already overtook Lagos in terms of Skyscrappers or even 20 floor building. Nairobi has about twice Lagos. Please Nigga - you can only impress GHANA; Watch out for Adis Ababa and Maputo. Already Angola's Luanda is age away
Look at ADIS ABABA - this country growing - not cooking figures Ghana or Nigeria style.
AfroCircus: In which world did you here of every variable being the best? Every street in London is the best street in London is the most weird sentence I've seen here. So Abby street is just about the same calibre as that small residential alley street.
And what did I post that doesn't exist? Everything I've posted is in existence. Google is your friend.
So it isn't true that Oxford street has an unrivalled shopping experience of all streets in London with over 300 outlets. Ok, I see.
Noise started emanating from those who felt greyed by the GSV of Muindi Mbingu street vs those of Broad street and were so quick to claim broad street isn't among the best streets in Lagos. When asked which streets are then first diversion was that Lagos is too large, then there's nothing like best streets, then I said best street not streets etc. Now that's noise that aims to divert from the obvious.
AfroCircus: Misquotes, misquotes, misquotes. I've noticed how you've avoided referring to the post outlining the entire conversation like the plague. And you're also trying to take my post on Oxford completely out of context so as to further you erroneous stand.
I listed Oxford and Abbey in London as well as an etc to show that there are others. So someone chose not to see Abbey or the etc and focussed on Oxford, saying it had nothing to offer that other streets and shopping districts don't. So I had to reply by expounding on why Oxford is among these premier streets.
So how on earth is that making my argument about Oxford. You guys want to force some statement I did not make, not gonna happen
why do I have to go and refer to your dumb post when it is already here for everybody to see how quick you shifted your argument.?
No one has taken your post out of context, you are still referring to the same nonsense that we've told you it doesn't exist.
We've told you you cant refer to Abbey and Oxford streets as best street in London because every single street is best in London.
After we called you out on it, that was when you decided to Qualify it by adding shopping which wasn't also true.
all this noise you are making wont change those facts
