Wow! Interesting. I didn't know a dwarf country has more billionaires than Kenya.

Africa’s ‘Big 5’ wealth markets are South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Morocco, and Kenya.
Mauritians are the wealthiest individuals in Africa, followed by South Africans, based on wealth per capita.

deflection as usual

Nigeria Exits International Maritime Bureau's Piracy List As Sao Tome, Others Now Lead

Sao Tome and Principe, Gabon , Benin and four other African countries led the sailors kidnap chart of the International Maritime Bureau, IMB, in 2021, an indication that Nigeria may have eliminated the menace of piracy in its waters.

In the latest IMB report, a total of 15 crewmen were kidnapped 98 Nautical Miles in Sao Tome Islands on the 23rd of January 2021 as against another 15 sailors Gabon on the eight of February and on the 11th of March, 10 crew members were kidnapped in Benin Republic.

Coming in third position is Equatorial Guinea with a total of six kidnapped crewmembers from a container vessel while a second attack on fishing vessel also took place in Benin on the 31st of May and six crewmen were also kidnapped in the process.

A breakdown of the figure shows that a total of three fishing vessels, two container vessels and a chemical tanker were also attacked.

Nigeria recorded no kidnapping incidents in 2021 with the total number of incidents in its waters dropping more than 80 per cent compared to 2020.

Luanda Anchorage, Angola, and Conakry Anchorage, Guinea, featured in the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre (PRC) list of "Ports and anchorages with three or more reported incidents in 2021".

That trend may be continuing into 2022 as the IMB PRC reported three armed robbery incidents from Luanda Anchorage during the first six weeks of 2022.

this is good for the gulf

gallivant:
Lol

The madness has started.

shhhh and accept your backwardness

Don't be a usual lunatic

jl115:
do you even math bro?

you see, your question is not even making Sense?

popizaino:
Lol......The same place I went in January?

yes... The same place with a video from last month

popizaino:
Kumasi old towns are far better than Accra older towns, what those batama, Ashtown, Anloga junction asafo, Asawase all need is to repaint their buildings, change those rusted iron roofing sheets and reduce the excessive containers and kiosks littered everywhere.

they've already repainted most of those buildings

NTSA:
Taxis are not categorized as public transport they mostly serve door to door .
There are also residential areas Kenya with paved walkways but that doesn't mean all residential areas have walkways.
Am only here to refute your absurd claims about Nairobi.

taxi in every part of the world is classified as public transport and it includes Uber and the rest.

picture comes from the US and not Kenya

Don't be desperate

NTSA:
In a place like Karen there are is no public transport let alone human traffic there are just residential houses whereby you rarely even see you neighbours in months

so the taxis that pass there are not public transport?



The Dzorwulu neighborhood that I was in, over the past two days and too the pictures I took, you can walk for 30 minutes on the walkways and not find anyone else walking or drive for 10 minutes and only find one or 2 people walking on the walkways.

Yet the walkways are still provided and being extended to places that don't have.

NTSA:
Maybe you should first understand that the amount of human and vehicular traffic ,informs the need for pedestrian walkways .The city center has more vehicular and human traffic thus need for pedestrian walkways.

useless excuse

NTSA:
What are pedestrians doing in a private estate.?

funny
See how you are running

Even the roads around it does not have pedestrian walkway

NTSA:
I wouldn't say Nairobi is the most pedestrian friendly city but we try

again, still the same city center ...

Why does Karen, Livington and co not have pedestrian walkway

NTSA:
Cheap talk

not just cheap talks but facts

You might not like it because it belittle your country but it still remain facts.

NTSA:
As usual Ghanians are all talk but no show .

it has almost 14 foot bridges and underpasses

When we started building footbridges, your country was still an infant

vankelvin:
Yes, (Bantama main street) from Komfo Anokye Round about all the way to Abrepo Junction have side walks..

okay

I see

Shma:
Nope, Nairobi has no billionaires.


Does Accra have millionnaires?

And my friend, if I dedicate my time to bombard you with world-class pedestrian lanes, you'll run away never to be seen

Accra has several billionaires and millionaires.

Infact it has the highest rate of growth in millionaires on the continent...

We all know Nairobi drians are unconverted and pedestrian lanes are none existent even in Ka*ren livington and co

NTSA:
I don't see any pedestrian walkway on your photo.all I see is concrete blocks placed on top of the drainage channel.

seem you don't know what pedestrian walkway is.

NTSA:
You still have a long way to go..look at this mess at your best highways .I also noticed you don't have proper pedestrian footbridges let alone walkways

This road has more pedestrian footbridges than all of Nairobi

vankelvin:
Most parts of Bantama have been paved for many years now.

I'm referring to side walks oo and not their roads.

Shma:
What do you mean by this question?

And who are we? Are you 'we,' or 'I'? I believe krupto has his own sane mind.

You think Nairobi billionaires will go jog on a rough road early in the morning and expect everything to be alright?

Nairobi has billionaires?

Bicycle lane is different from pedestrian pavement

mdntiri:
I hear you

I understand perfectly what you mean
And true, Kumasi old communities like Ashtown, Bantama and co need to have their sidewalk pavement fixed.

mdntiri:
Jay walking not jail walking. And it doesn't mean not walking in the location at all. It means not crossing the road anyhow, example crossing the road anyhow near a zebra crossing instead of using it. People can walk in the locations you mentioned, and the narrow streets NEED sidewalks

it's basically not walking at all

I've seen certain neighborhood street walks that have been removed to prevent people from walking through them and rather redirected pedestrain traffic around the community.


Certain neighborhood just don't want all kind of characters using their neighborhood...example AU village and Adabraka ...where they've remove the sidewalks in the acres but the roads around the acres have side walks.
The streets are wide enough for 3 cars, so obviously it's not narrow. Not all streets need to have side walks

jl115:
sorry 2.8 million tons

which is still a deficit

You consume 19.9 or so million tonnes of grain
You produce 18 million tonnes of grain and out of this 18 million tonnes, you export 2.8 of it ( mostly corn)

jl115:
and we export 2.8 tons.... So how can we not be self sufficient?

peanuts when we are talking about millions

Shma:
Just some of Nairobi's streets. These only plays in the international field.

can your residential areas have it too?

That's what we are talking about , not the middle of the city.

gallivant:


What happens if you walk there?

You can get arrested or Question just like in London because they are inside residential neighborhood..

mdntiri:
Walking is not permitted in certain parts? Me what I always say is already built-up areas like these with narrow streets, no sidewalks etc, if people's fence walls etc have to be broken to make way for sidewalks, if even on only one side of the street, so be it. The beauty, order, convenience, ease of commute etc that sidewalks bring to a space would be very beneficial

When you look at many of our Kumasi suburbs with their narrow streets and no sidewalks for example, no matter the edifices/good quality roads in these areas, I still find them lacking in true beauty

yeah, there are areas where jail walking ain't allowed and it's a good thing. I've come across them even in London and New York

Kuruptnigga:
Pretty cool

yeah

jl115:
how? We export more than we import?

You import 1.9 million tonnes of grain in addition to your 18 million tonnes production to meet your demand.

Kuruptnigga:
No side work. Open gutter? The gutter should be covered! They shouldn’t build accra like nairoslum. Just I like Abuja. Every gutter is covered.

They are all covered

Accra does not want to be a shithole like Nairobi, so last 2 years, it started covering the gutters on it streets that had open gutters.
As well as providing pavement for streets that needed pavement for pedestrians but didn't have.

mdntiri:
Where are the sidewalks? The street lights? The gutter should be covered, THEN the beauty of the place would be complete.

the gutters are covered for most parts and walking is not permitted in the area apart from on the outer ring roads which has pedestrian lanes provided. It's an exclusive neighborhood.

As you can see here... Apart from the front of certain house with tiny and shallow colonial era drains that do not need covering.. all the drains are covered with sideways for pedestrian.

mdntiri:
I disagree just40. When the Tema Accra line was relaunched did you not see the heavy patronage? Traders alone would heavily patronise the line and make it profitable. As time goes on we can create modern car parks, improve access routes to the train stations, improve security at the car parks, improve the ticketing system, reserve dedicated comfortable cabins for workers, lessen the Accra-Tema commute etc etc, and you'd see workers clamouring to join the train.

So your preposition us ... We shouldn't expand the Motorway with the half a billion dollars that we have but rather use it to improve the train service?

Because we can only do one of those at a time.
