Denialism

In the psychology of human behavior, denialism is a person's choice to deny reality as a way to avoid a psychologically uncomfortable truth.

typical Kenyan tantrums

Just travel along your country and see the visible mess

popizaino:
The difference is as clear as like daylight


Accra.....Ghana

Nairobi.......Kenya

To be able to compare Nairobi to Accra, you will really need to try harder cause in everything developmental Accra comes ahead.

Right in it CBD are so many muddy roads to make even Monrovia look like a shinning example of good development.

NTSA:
haha...this is more indigenous and locally inspired no factory produced cement ..its more African .,more authentic ,not copied from anywhere.

Pozzolana is very indigenous as well

Basically people have been building with cement even before the Europeans arrived

NTSA:
when we talk of culturaly responsive architecture we talk of use of locally available materials and technologies .. not brick and mortar.

what do you think I'm talking about

All locally available tech and material

Brick and mortar is even more indigenous

samorobo:
So let me get you straight for a house to be world class and classy it’s mustn’t be visible from the driveway. It’s must all be covered with overgrown weeds.
I guess the US,UK and the entire western country have some nuking to do.

Just imagine that

NTSA:
Even the houses in Accra are not culturally sensitive, they are just replicas of what can be found elsewhere in the world.

Accra houses area culturally responsive to it society and climate.
None of our designs can be found anywhere else.

Kumasi courtyard architecture is representative of it culture.


Your architects can't even build a proper house, they've built ugly stuff all over Kenya.... You guys need to come and learn designs in Ghana or even SA or Nigeria so you can stop building ugly stuff

samorobo:
Right

even the Chinese have learnt that lesson

NTSA:

good

samorobo:
Your supposed Victorian architecture looks haunted and depressing.The ones in London looks inspiring .

Basically you can never replicate someone culture for it to be pleasing in your context of a society

samorobo:
Also add Zimmerman.

typically everything in Kenya carries the same tag

NTSA:
All sorts of architectural styles can be found here,,..from victorian architecture to contemporary architecture it depends on your taste

these ones are quite nasty to be building

It is like how Europe considers the gulag style Soviet housing to be nasty and not architecturally pleasing

NTSA:
south c is a middle income area i used to live there sometime back.

South C is a low income area with a crumbled infrastructure....

Almost all it roads are untarred and the building are nasty like those in pipeline

NTSA:
SOUTH C would beat that place blue black

how would slummy south c do that when it's even worse than Karen and Runda?

NTSA:
This is an overgrown thicket according to West africans

why are your buildings always this ugly ?

Shma:
Tantrums activated. ...

answer the questions and stop acting like a child

NTSA:
i havent seen class in west africa just concrete on top of concrete..

classy neighborhoods well laid out and properly demarcated


The houses are super classy with great architecture

NTSA:
demarcation for what ?....kilimani will beat you little accra blue black let alone karen or Runda.

does kilimani even have proper streets to be able to compare to Accra ?

How will it do something that even the best part of your country couldn't ?

Demarcation for roads and the roads being well laid out...

NTSA:
. No need arguing with you.

how will you argue when you can't prove me wrong ?

Why is something as basic as proper demarcation be alien to your entire society?

Shma:
Maybe you have glaucoma... Or Is it for a fact that your eyes are prone to seeing ugly things that are making you praise this slum-like area with this much effort?

Do you even know what landscaping is?

With proper landscaping culture, Karen, Runda and Muthiaga won't look over grown.

Do you know what proper demarcation looks like?

I guess these thing are alien to Kenya

NTSA:
This are the kind of Estate projects that impress West Africans..

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

tiny low income stuff

Shma:
Zero landscaping, zero green development, ugly buildings with zero architectural design.... In a nutshell, they are an eyesore.

you need another set of eyes cause this one is failing you ...

An eyesore is what Runda and Karen are and guess what, they are supposed to be the best of your society

samorobo:
They are going all the way out to prove the white man right..it’s bad enough that they are extremely dark but portraying the monkey like attribute is just damn sickening and spoils the rest of africa images. Wonder no more why the woman below did what she did without remorse.

hmm

NTSA:
Kilimani kind of vibes basically more of a middle income neighbourhood.

oh please

Don't compare kilimani to that

Kilimani is just another undeveloped area with no proper roads and terrible housing spec with a few highrise with poor demarcation.

samorobo:
They have this jungle mentality.what are they? Tarzan or what?

probably want to prove that Africans live in jungles

A linear mentality

What a proper community should look like and how it should be demarcated..

samorobo:
Pls don’t be timid.should I lift neighborhoods from US,UK ,SA that looks just like that. I mean mansions so close to each other but with adequate greenery not some lost uncatered jungle.

They are unexposed

They think good Neighborhoods should look like jungles ....
Jungles like that only scream of underdevelopment and less land demand.

Shma:
.

how do you understand the qualifying statement below?

Shma:
Another type of west Africa houses.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI_OkS33knA

These houses are as cheap as 6million per unit. They are located in machakos.

Did your developers even atten school at all?

Shma:
I'm glad you're comparing a city to countries. I like that. But still, Ghana can't stand Nairobi.

Did you even understand what you read?



Who said I was comparing Nairobi and a country ?

Mkenya2019:
Half of Nairobi has very nice upper class estates - and 99 percent black kenyan owned. You need start from North of Nairobi - Thome - Garden estate - Ridgeways- Muthaiga - Runda-Gigiri-Nyari- Kyuna-Kisitusu- Westland - Kabete - Loresho - you continue without breaking to Riverside - Lavington - spring valley - all the way down to Karen. That like 30kms of upper class residence..only interrupted by upcoming business district of parkland/highridge, Westland, Kilimani, Upperhill.

Nairobi is not Nigeria - or Ghana.

Nairobi can't be Ghana or Nigeria

Both countries have well developed communities in the numbers .

samorobo:
Eeewww.... I hope I am able to eat after reading this...

I hope you do

samorobo:
Lol which thing ooo

UN workers no better option but to live in Karen and Runda since it's the only option they have to a livable place and they will have to manage with the pit latrines
