AfriqueDuZuid:
but arable land has nothing to do urbanization

He won't understand

popizaino:
If you think i will leave all this overwhelming evidences from eye test from videos to pictures to comments from well travelled individuals to city exparts and vloggers to oblige to your delusion then you are in for a long ride. Find Ghana (Accra) strength in other areas not in this Nairobi vs Accra which is a non-starter. I for once,have praised and will keep praising Accra construction of single dwelling homes because it's actually impressive and that's all about Accra and nothing else.

It is only stupidity that will drive anyone to compare Nairobi to Accra.

Well then you have no case because from every aspect of development that you will pick, Accra will come top of Nairobi 90% of the time and those are just the facts and not just subjective preferences... And I'm not even surprised that with all your madness, you still can't mention 5 areas of development with proof, where Nairobi will come top.

All vloggers and expats will only choose Nairobi because of climate and that is all.

And yes, even thinking of comparing Nairobi to Accra is a none starter because Nairobi has failed in so many necessary areas that are very important in proper city development.

popizaino:
Which one has not been proven to you with facts on this thread yet you dismissed them with your usual lame comments? Abeg look for somewhere to do is comparison,Accra is a second tier city in Africa while belongs to the big four. Johannesburg, Lagos,Cairo and Nairobi.

See your childish argument again...

It's a simple question, in what areas of development can Nairobi outmatched Accra?

If you can't answer this, you have no business even trying to compare Nairobi to Accra.

popizaino:
I get all what you mean but it seems you on the other hand doesn't seems to get why I posted those videos which are in no way talking about flood. Nature happens everywhere which Accra isn't an exception but when it does in other places you tend to see eye pleasing structures even from the flood but that usually not the case with west African paris. If Accra is usually what he claims it to be why should development not been seen even in random places and why must I go to the Cantoment,ridge and Airport area all of which I have admitted are the most beautiful parts of Accra to see developments that should be easily been seen everywhere? On his other point about Accra been more developed than Nairobi i don't think that should be even up for debate because it's a non -starter he should find Ghana strength in other areas and not on this. Lastly I have posted tons of videos and pictures of the beautiful sections of Accra only that this beautiful places are just normal areas in other country.

And no one here has said Accra does not have slums.If you take the national figure of 23% slum, you can naturally know that about 23% of most urban areas are slums.
The question you ask yourself, can Nairobi succeed in dropping it slum population below 50% ?

Since you want to compare Nairobi to Accra .....

Just mention 5 areas of development that Nairobi can even match Accra in and even surpass.

Prove your points with facts

popizaino:
I know ........but my point is when pictures of other countries with flood issue surface ,we tend to see notable developments all around unlike our West African Paris were the only visible developments you will see around are shanties,red water that shows the real condition of the roads.

These are some of the desperate dumb comments I've been talking about.
How old are you again, because even a KG kid will make this dumb analysis about the colour of the water being red, because the KG kid with a working mind will know why the water is red.


What's the condition of the Achimota road?
Does Achimota look shanty to you?
Do you know the kind of Development in Achimota?

Accra is not Nairobi where everywhere you pass you find shanties.

Nairobi will remain a dustbin when Accra is mentioned... It is not strange when Ghana is above Kenya in infrastructure development indexes.

This is GoblacktoAfrica talking about the super fast rate of development in Ghana and why he has decided to own several properties in Accra instead of Nairobi.

The value of properties in Accra can double in just under a year.
Same reason why he is back in Ghana after experience Nairobi.

The level of Construction in Ghana is super crazy, no wonder we consume 10 million tonnes of cement.

Stupidity is when you can't argue with facts but useless side comments that you know is a lies...

When you want to argue, do it with facts that you can easily verify.

While NTSA is trying to argue on roads, he knows very well that his country builds far fewer roads than it should be doing. But he is happy that they are atleast doing something...

Trying to compare that to Ghana will only be madness because Ghana built 11,800km (16 billion dollars of roads) over 6 years while Kenya is struggling with less than 2000km over the same period.

NTSA:
Do you think those are the only roads under construction I just mentioned a few A2 highways...anyway that's enough for today.

we all know that Kenya builds less than 400km of roads every year... Ghana does 2000km per year, so I am rest assured that anything that happens in your country will be less than what we accomplished and those are just facts

NTSA:
In simple terms, Thika road will be extended from the current 50km to 136km

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MW7Ie97T0c8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmexyGuNj_0

Still tiny compare to the Kumasi Outer Ring road project under construction which is 100km.. and the entire length is in Kumasi. The Kumasi Sountern bypass is also under construction, Kumasi Western bypass is also under construction and so is the Accra Outer Ring road...
Kumasi to Suyani highway completed 2 month ago is 128km

Should I talk about the Tema to Aflao 166km multi lanes highway expansion?
The 208Km multi lanes highway Accra- Cape Coast- Dabuase PPP under going feasibility.

These exclude so many other highways and streets.
Ghanaians don't get excited by these things because we consider them to be normal govt duties that all govt do.

NTSA:
dual carriageways under construction Nairobi - Mau Summit (220km) Phase 2 Mau Summit - Eldoret (90km), Phase 3 Eldoret to Malaba (120km).total 430km. plus Nairobi to mombasa 477km. a record 907km of continous dual carriageway.

all of that does not add up to 11,800km

You need to try harder cause as we speak, we have another 11,000 km of roads under construction

NTSA:
why are you throwing tantrums now

not tantrums but addressing stupidity devoid of facts but useless emotions and lies

NTSA:
Passes through is the keyword ...wait till we finish the 83km kenol marua extension will be driving a continuous 142 km from nairobi

I guess your superhighway does not pass through Nairobi but over it right?

You guys just like to post without checking your facts...

Nairobi at it widest point from end to end is just 41.6km and that's from Ngong to the northlands

As usual .. stupid comments is all you can post.

Just a correction for your stupidity, Accra built up area is almost twice that of Nairobi.. Meanwhile, Nairobi has twice the population of Accra.

Now choke on your usual dumb comments and get used to facts.

How will you be able to engage in a rational conversation when you post this lame stuff ?

NTSA:
SOME more than 14KM FROM CBD Can you see how far the GTC and britam towers are from drone shots?

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

this is less than 4km away

NTSA:
fyi thika is some 50km away from Nairobi

still not a reason why it should be that bad or sparsely populated

NTSA:
a 10 km difference ,mind you accra is the mid point ...its like me combining 50 km thika road plus 20km outering road to Nairobi.

Nairobi is the mid point for Kenya but Accra is not for Ghana.

Mind you, I'm not combining two different roads here but just the N1 alone that passes through Accra using only it widest point.

NTSA:
20KM FROM NAIROBI CBD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zrm1Zq0gWw

20km away from CMD and it's already sparsely developed and Thika looking all undeveloped

NTSA:
bro, do you think this things are exclusive to Ghana enjoy 50km ride from THIKA TO NAIROBI A2 highway widest part been 14 lanes 2020 video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoq-fgau_GE

that's too tiny because from Tema to Broadcasting Hill is almost 60Km of superhighway

NTSA:
You must be tripping Nairobi of the 80s was more advanced than Current Day Accra

let me let you know something... Nairobi of today is not even a match for Accra of the 60s that's why I just laugh when you guys get do hyper over a few things that happen in Nairobi.

NTSA:
If that was done 10 yrs ago then Accra isn't developing as fast.Every day new buildings are roads popping up in Nairobi red earth everywhere.

You don't need to recarpet already good roads every 2 years.....

Accra just developed an area almost the size of the entire Nairobi built up are in just 6 to 7 years and they all came with roads, drains and beautiful residential areas.. done just in Eastern and Northern Accra alone...


Nairobi is now building it roads because it mostly remained undeveloped.


All the roads you see in that video was built some 60 years ago and every few 10 to 12, depending on the condition of the asphalt surface, it get resurfaced.

What ever you're doing in Nairobi is child's play where Accra is concerned. Accra put up more residential properties in 6 years than the entire Kenya will do in 20 years.

The rate at which Accra has developed, people are even concerned that this rate of growth will destroy farmlands in places that are not even part of Accra.

GeneralDae:
What location in Accra is this? Is this Airport road, Cantonement, or Osu?

none of them but Ridge

NTSA:
The cameraman is panning his camera too much trying to capture the few existing buildings.Though the streets are well mantained .

he doesn't want a longer video hence he has to, that area is too big for one video and every part of it is beautiful... All of those city streets were recarpeted 8 to 10 years ago.

Let's take a ride through Accra Ridge

gallivant:
We are pushing a positive narrative, you a negative one. Who do you think should evaluate their life goals? You must have an extremely miserable life.

in order to push a positive narrative, you don't have to lie all the time to do it, cause the facts at know to everyone here... You can't push too much of a positive when the negatives are just too many to compare to other countries that are far above you.

It makes you guys look like jokers

Since you're interested in knowing my life, it's really comfortable and lively.

gallivant:
Talk of spending the entirely of your life trying to impress Kenyans on Nairaland and coming up short? Must be frustrating. Even Nigerians are not impressed.

so far, Kenyans are the ones trying to impress all of us here, to change the view that Kenya is slummy and a poverty hell hole , hence all the pictures.

Youve been on it for 6 years and not succeeded.. keep trying

vankelvin:
Ka na kabiom

Galamsey nnkoa

Someone is trying so hard to get attention

What comment did the forest come with?


Cheap talk nnkoa

AfriqueDuZuid:
Gratification? Says someone who's trying so hard to prove that's his country is good with 1 city full of slums

this hurts

gallivant:
Accra


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OazUbS59NYI

good you know Eastleigh could only be compared to a slum.. Also funny enough, the thumbnail pic is from Kenya..

Funny enough, all the places in the video are better off and more developed than most places in Kenya and in particular Nairobi.

Views and not just a circulation of 2km area


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMHKwTa5mq8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mqOU5R3-TE

Look at how shitty and filthy Eastleigh is compare to Circle both of which are market centers


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eztSZ-G0DCU

Can any part of shitty Nairobi be this calm, clean, and beautiful?
