rvp2018:
Actually it better when you're supporting south africa - at least you have some data to back it up.

Everytime we get to Ghana you literally scrap the bottom of the barrel and throw anything in a desperate kitchen sink strategy.

So for now I want to assume you're playing for South Africa - it makes your sound saner.

the HDI is staring you in the face .. you can't scrap barrels bottom for long , go change that


You're the desperate one here looking at the gap and saying we are the same

Shma2022:
You'll drop dead the time he will bombard you with Accra QOL. Accra QOL is near oblivion.

Rants

Accra is at 165 globally

Weep more... Even Kampala is above Nairobi

rvp2018:
We are not talking about your market that aims to be like Nairobi of 1980 in 2050.

Get to Nairobi of 1980 first.

You should be with South Africa - as Kenya North Star as we aim to become Upper Middle Income country. Now we are your North Star.

keep weeping

Your largest urban centers are all squalors ... It will take you centuries to develop Nairobi as much as Accra and catch up on the QOL.

Well we are mostly with SA in almost all things developmental

Keep weeping ... You already know that Accra is more developed than your shithole.
All this noise is just coming out of your pained that all the countries you compare to are better than you

rvp2018:
You're in same HDI category with Kenya - the difference are marginal - same Lower Middle class with Kenya with same per capita.
And you've had gold since 15th century
Ghana should be with Botswana, South Africa and Namibia.

You're betwitched.

sorry... We are not in the same category

A difference of 110s plus is not marginal.


Also our per Capita is not the same, the gap is almost 800 and it's about to become almost 3 times yours

jl115:
Are you?

Since when is 186th(Nairobi) better than 103rd(Shanghai) or 120th(Beijing)?

Allow him to keep massaging his bruised ego

rvp2018:
Clearly they need to re-visit their ranking and data - because South African cities are tough places to live in. Now with Eskom, Rape, Drugs. Look like soon you'll be like KaziKazi of Tanzania hidding under some indices.

Nairobi is worse so I don't have to say anything.

Oh is that what you've been doing, hiding behind those 2km areas of Nairobi to hide the disaster it is?

rvp2018:
You're simping.
South Africans can defend their gold plated cities; you cant despite producing more gold than them;
We understand you're their colony but dont simp online

Instead help us understand where gold from 15th century to date has gone?

Just stating the fact ... There's nothing simping about that.

I know it hurts your feelings so you start ranting.

My HDI and QOL is already doing that defending for me, I don't even have to say anything

rvp2018:
They should add crime - safety. You see no index can really capture everything.

it has crime and safety there already

jl115:
no it doesn't it ranks considerably lower

Try again

He's looking for where to fix Nairobi

rvp2018:
There is no single index that is better than others . Beijing and Shanghai dont have you kind of slums, crime, rape and drugs.

If we go by QOL by Economist Intelligence Unit - this is really has nothing on cities.

let me help you

Seem you don't know what QOL is

Base on these, the ranking is done

Political and social environment (political stability, crime, law enforcement, etc.).
Economic environment (currency exchange regulations, banking services).
Socio-cultural environment (media availability and censorship, limitations on personal freedom).
Medical and health considerations (medical supplies and services, infectious diseases, sewage, waste disposal, air pollution).
Schools and education (standards and availability of international schools).
Public services and transportation (electricity, water, public transportation, traffic congestion, etc.).
Recreation (restaurants, theatres, cinemas, sports and leisure).
Consumer goods (availability of food/daily consumption items, cars).
Housing (rental housing, household appliances, furniture, maintenance services).
Natural environment (climate, record of natural disasters).

Shma2022:
Focus on your dream, hobbit. Stop wasting words.

skeletal zombie ... Go develop Nairobi, that should be your dream so that you don't keep ranking with Kigali and Djibouti

Then you can stop crying

rvp2018:
LDC - LM - UM - Developed.
Ghana is going to LDC as we speak as it battle bankruptcy for 15yrs.

I which you had that concern for Kenya, it's the only country whose HDI dropped

It happened because Kenya has been bankrupt for the past 3 years now.

Your 1800 GDP per cap is not just 3 times of 6,000

Shma2022:
Focus on your dream. Stop wasting words.

The man showing Kenya the way to development... Keep learning and one day you'll catch up(the dream of every Kenyan)

Nairobi is competing with Kigali, Djibouti and co

Shma2022:
What are you arguing about?

Middle class: Kenya is way ahead of Ghana.

City-wise: Accra doesn't qualify top 4 slots in Kenyan cities.

sorry kiddo we are not talking about middle class.
Your education failed you.

But as concerning that, unless you want to convince the world that 15 million for Ghana is lesser than 5 million for Kenya.

In Ghana, Nairobi will be classified a village because all it large population centers gives village vibes

rvp2018:
It really pains you to be twice kenya in landmass and 10million more; strange.
South Africa is not developed.
It's a middle-class country slowly regressing.

only 4 million more than Kenya

If it's not developed, why do you need to catch up?

rvp2018:
How much progress did the dwarf Nana make in getting to the green city in the sun.
We should have warned you - not to try.
See now you're bankrupt and you didnt make any progress.

Beyond AID - has ended in IMF 17th bailout.

Dont try to copy Nairobi if you dont have the hardwork and the smarts to turn tea and coffee into money.

Kenya is in it 25th IMF bailout good luck


I like how you scream bankrupt because Kenya is....
Kenya should have just come to Ghana for help so that your country doesn't default because of it bankrupt state.


Sorry kiddo, we only copy from places more developed than us and not the back water you live in.

Keep crying

These are some of the largest communities in Nairobi
*Kayo*le has a population of almost 700,000
*Dan*dora(1,2,3&4) has almost a million
*Umoja has 300,000
*Matha*re has 600,000

Focus on giving these people a good life instead of having them fight over water and co daily

These numbers make *kilimani*Karen *Runda and co combined are not even up to the size of just *Umo*ja

rvp2018:
Low middle class estate with shopping mall. Mostly found outside Nairobi city in the metro.

Cry more

Nairobi almost have a none existent middle class

Dirt poor mostly

Shma2022:
Don't waste words. Rant with a link or something. Hobbit city is hobbitopic in nature --- I mean, Accra is way underdeveloped to Mombasa, talk less of Nairobi.

Accra is 5 times weeny to Lagos and Abuja. First thing first, stand Abuja before elevating your fantasies to Nairobi.

zombie ... All those links are already here

Just carry your shame of a city and and go and compare it with it mates like Kigali, Monrovia and the rest..


Before you think of ever comparing that shithole to Accra again, first double it electricity consumption to catch up with Accra and move 40% of it residents that live in mud houses without floors into better accomodations and pave it roads to Accra level.


Type plenty when you've done that

68816419:
Eko Atlantic which is about 25 km² is at least 10 times larger than Nairobi CBD

That guy has sticks for brain

Shma2022:
Sometimes you think like an 0btuse. QOL ranks the most dynamic cities --- cities that are transforming so fast.

Some cities are sh1tty and they are static to their sh1ttines. That's why they ain't there eg, lagos, Abuja, accra.

No city in South Africa can come close to 70% of these cities. Joburg and cape town, for instance, are doing fine. No, used to do fine. They ain't changing to the grandness of Nairobi or Shanghai... That is not to say Shanghai is the most developed city in the world.

Accra, Abuja, and Lagos don't have a poor standard of living, poor QOL and look shitty like undeveloped Nairobi.

Should Nairobi become half as developed, it will show in your electricity consumption... Your city won't look that dark

jl115:
interesting that 80% of the cities on this list also rank ridiculously low wrt QOL... Including Nairobi

You saw that ?

68816419:
Your over hyped Nairobi CBD is just 1.70 square kilometers, what do you have to say about that?

Wait for long epistle

Shma2022:
For accra, you need to beat kilimani before we can consider debating.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLcpybL2lAc

All of Nairobi just need to beat East Legon before you can start talking.. Kilimani with a population of 40,000 is like 1/10 of East Legon....respect yourself, all the nice places in Nairobi combined will not match just that one place of Accra.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syFIk2QEU14

If you can develop it, we can start talking

More projects for Takoradi

rvp2018:
After I discovered Airport city cbd was just 28 acres with 14 buildings my respect for Ghana and Accra totally collapsed. JKIA airport has more buildings than that.

Accra - old colonial CBD + 14 building in airport city - that is all. Kumasi is a market kraal.

All the gold from 15th century just disappeared to the thin smelly humid air?

noise from an undeveloped city

Build Nairobi to be as developed as Accra and maybe, just maybe the people of Nairobi will largely become middle class people and rich like those in Accra.

After 60 years of being free, you shouldn't be that poor.

It's the only way you can make Nairobi good

rvp2018:
You're one crying on behalf of Joburg - we aint.Nairobi has no competitor in entire west africa.

When you get named in such a list - consistently for years by world leading real estate agency - and come and cry me another volta river

Weeping from an undeveloped city

ProblemChild1:
That guy is taking some illegal stuffs which is not good for his health

Substance abuse is real

rvp2018:
28 acre airport city dwarf will never amount to much. Even Two River Social city is what 200 acres

Even this Enaki city - is bigger than your little city

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh14eC9Bd0M

Nairobi is going places.

keep crying

ProblemChild1:
And you think Nairobi can catch up with this. Lol

Delusions drives him to say crazy things here

rvp2018:
Exchange rate is mid way. Reduce the insults. You're wasting your anger. I only get swayed by facts

the facts are

Western Union -7.3
Wave - 8.27
Wise - 7.9
Bureaus in Ghana -7 to 8.5
Taptap - 8.26
