Don't compare Dar with Accra.Dar is in the league of Jo'burg.

jln115:
uhm no!!

popizaino:
By implying dar is bigger than Accra then it should be competing with Lagos in urbanization which I seriously doubt, but anyway I will take your words for it.

popizaino:
I will not argue with you since you’ve been to both Accra and dar e salam, but I need to ask you if really think dar is bigger than Accra considering tema is also part of Accra.

Kuruptnigga:
Let's start from railway and brt. Lemme disgrace you here

Kuruptnigga:
Dude it's fact? Nairobi development is all about skyscraper. And they even look ugly. What can Nairobi beat Abuja on this list below.

Stable electricity
Stable water
Good road network
Clean street/ clean environment
House planning
City planning.
Health system
Railway
Brt etc.

Kuruptnigga:
I have even watch their videos just now on YouTube. None of them you listed are ahead of Abuja. None

rvp2018:
Yes but so does Kigali and the likes of Windhoek, Gaberone. I'd put those in 3rd tier - because they are smaller cities - with about 1m or less people. Accra would be in the 2nd tier with Kampalas, Lusakas, and many such cities. The 3rd tier would like led by likes of Windhoek, Gaberone, Kigali, etc.

Abohboy:
Port Louis, Windhoek, Gaborone and Pretoria are definitely ahead of Abuja, trust me but Lusaka I don’t believe that one

Accra belongs to the 2nd or even 3rd tier of Africa cities - Mombasa, Abuja, Lusaka, that kind.

This is just funny cos I am not the one saying it but WTTC(world travel and tourism council) .Not until three years ago Kenya has always been placed above us by thesame reputable, globally recognised organisation..Kenya's tourism industry has been declining tremendously pre-covid19...
I am guessing you do not know that they are various kinds of tourism..e.g business tourism,sport tourism,Health tourism,leisure tourism, Entertainment tourism,Eco tourism...Nigeria thrives very well in sport, entertainment, business tourism, cultural tourism than Kenya does..if you are talking leisure tourism yes I know they are undeniably ahead of us...but when you summarised the whole thing up and check out the total generated revenue then kenya becomes a child's play..
I am guessing you don't know the amount of shows alone in Lagos that pulls visitors from all corners of the earth..
Do you know how many movie awards shows,fashion shows,music shows,music awards show,fashion awards show,lagos carnival,Lagos boat regatta, that pull visitors annually...
Let's not even get to December which is the craziest..you would literally see Lagos govt sponsoring shows for the youths that fetches them visitor....example would the One Africa fest...do you know it is sponsored by Lagos govt..and do you know how many Africans visit Lagos just for that show anually...heck what of those music concert that spring up around that time..Don't you know they all have the backing of the govt..
And then you come to the grandest of all which is Calabar festival which brings competitors all over the world and have them compete for a full month...

What of cultural festival like those ones they do in osun(vaxx should know more about this one. I am not too familiar with the name)...

Below was a Kenyan news quoting WTTC..they said this not me and even if you doubt just go to WTTC website to confirm what that Kenyan newspaper said...

Just30:
now you are ranting



You can't mention one area of Development that Nairobi will outpace Accra but throw words around.

Those are baby argument
Its is babies who argue ' he stole my thing she stole my thing ' without mentioning the thing in question.

That is how you argue.

samorobo:
Kevomtaani has been jiln5 all this while..

jln115:
If we did an actual list, and not listened to blogs, it would look like this(in no particular order)

Johannesburg
Cape Town
Durban
Pretoria
Gaborone
Windhoek
Casablanca
Port Louis
Rabat
Lusaka

popizaino:
You live in a glass house yet you throw stones anyhow. Nairobi with slum is still miles ahead of Accra.You should be ashamed your eldorado Accra host the world’s largest digital dump site amid other multiple slums.

Just30:
all cities have slums

Except in most cities, the slum is not what define their city.

But for Nairobi, the definition of that city is slum

Kuruptnigga:
You mean this Enugu

Kuruptnigga:
Abuja has 24/7 electricity. Steady water supply and even skyscrapers too.

Kuruptnigga:
Abuja

Kuruptnigga:
When last did you visit Abuja. And where and where in Abuja have you go to. You're very stupid for comparing Abuja with other west Africa cities in terms of development.

vankelvin:
Don't waste your time on some of these Nigerian's,
They mistake ''City planning'' for development..
What Abuja has is proper planning, in any case, how big is Abuja City proper,? not the land size?
In this 21st Century, you just pick any information on the internet to buttress your point, like how?
Go on Youtube where some Nigerian bloggers claiming Abuja is the 2nd Most developed and beautiful Citiy in Africa?
Only in SA, Johannesburg, Cape-Town, Durban, Pretoria, which of these Cities can you compare Abuja to?
Talk-less the number of cities in North Africa, Luanda, Nairobi, Dar Es Sallam, Addis Ababa,?

So I'm always not surprised when they claim Abuja is developed than Lagos, Dakar, Abidjan and Accra.
Its not surprising at all.

Kuruptnigga:
Enugu

popizaino:
You are just one incorrigible liar.

Mere looking at the pictures exposes you once more.just shut up for once so we could think you are well informed than to keep talking and erase all doubt .

Kuruptnigga:
You clearly don't know Abuja. So no need of arguing with you. Travel to Abuja and see for yourself.

samorobo:
Forget it, there is no stadium worthwhile in Kenya...it's all a crappy dilapidated mess..

samorobo:
Lol you are following report from Kenya corrupt govt...
You should use globally recognised, reputable source like world,tourism and travel council (WTTC)..
KENYA is behind Nigeria and Ghana in tourism...

Kuruptnigga:
Don't mind the Otondo.

Just30:
This is Ghana tourism Minister speak with figures from the Bank of Ghana and you are talking about forbes.
It was wrongly reported in January or so that Ghana earned 1.9 or so billion and forbes picked it up.

Real figures came out 7 days ago.

Like i said, you Kenyans just love to make noise

funny

Austine1212:
Any proof of that claim?

Torture2020:
Just shut up! Some Africans are just too fvcking stvpid for my liking. And. Am not kidding.

There are big challenges facing Africa, instead for Africans to discuss how to find solutions that face them collectively, they are here talking nonsense. Talking crap while the majority of their people wallow in hunger, poverty etc. some fools think posting beautiful buildings on nairaland is the solution to all their national problems. Very stvpid and senseless ediots

If you would just ease up the anger and the cursing maybe just maybe people can listen to what you have to say.
Competition has always been there in existence since time immemorial even if this thread ends there will always be Ghana vs Nigeria, Tanzania vs Kenya, S.a vs Nam. it's just human nature. No need for it to be personal.
