of course Kenyan women are good looking, they have very nice physique but thats about all thy have.

They are horrible cooks
Drink too gaddamn much
Lousy & uncultured
Don't read.

etc

Please you can't compare, it's no offense, I have a lot of female Kenyan friends too & I let them know they have nothing on Naija women.

naijalander:
Oga please don't kid yourself, Nigerian women are better cultured, more intelligent than the average Kenyan woman. The only difference is that Naija women are more materialistic. I can't tell you how many of my Kenyan male friends always say they would rather marry a Nigerian woman. So please don't kid yourself, I'll pick a Nigerian woman over a Kenyan woman every time.

genieluv:
Calling someone a hypocrite is insulting.
Your tone is an insultive and angry one.
Judge yourself. Do the both of us write in the same tone? I write in a friendlier and meek tone.
Tone down your harsh words.

genieluv:
Pls do well not to quote me again because your words are so full of anger and hate.
I do not want to put myself in a position to exchange insultive words with you. I wasn't brought up that way
****You and I can only have a conversation when you learn how to respond in a more polite tone.

forgiveness:
Hahahaha! I said remove it from the list until the pictures surface tomorrow or Tuesday.

Now, answer my question. Was Upper hills chamber reduced from 28 floors to 21 floors? Yes or No?

forgiveness:
Upper hills chamber and One Africa place don't have spire to catapult the heights like these two buildings. They are below 100m.

See snapshot below. The last Skyscrapper is upper hills chamber. It was suppose to be 28 floors but ended up with 21 floors. Is it true? Yes or No?

bantudra:
stfu...i dont want to even know what any kenyan has to say now....

68816419:
bro ,Nairobi is still very dirty, the only clean places are the areas around government buildings, other areas are nothing to write home about.
also, the number of street kids has tripled since independent, go around Paganini, rongai and other places and see how these street kids rules these areas.
black Kenyans are disasters to Nairobi.

68816419:
of course not, but the issue is , the only Africa country where Africans(even Kenyans) walks around with ID card is kenya, the level of corruption with Kenyans police is beyond your Imagination, they see the few Nigerians and large numbers of Somalis as ATM matching.

forgiveness:
And you call yourself Skyscrapper specialist?

Ask yourself that question after seeing the snapshot of buildings with 27floors in Kenya yet are dwarf.

forgiveness:
They are not Skyscrappers but you listed. That is the point.

You can exclude it from the list until the pictures surface either tomorrow or Tuesday.

forgiveness:
Why did you lie One Africa place and Upper hills chamber Towers are up to 100m?

forgiveness:
Talk about what your fellow Kenyan living around there has confirmed that indeed it's a dwarf building?

forgiveness:
I thought I saw port... cape town. That was a mixup. Anyway, your one Africa place tower and upper hills chamber tower are not up to 100m.

And who told you Azuri Towers are not for residential purpose? See person wey wan teach dey fumble anyha.

forgiveness:
Presently, Nairobi has only 9 topped out skyscrapers and they are the only one in the whole of Kenya. Too poor.

Lagos alone has more skyscrapers than the whole of Kenya combined. Even if you remove one, it's still more. Lying machine.

forgiveness:
Azuri Towers are topped out. The difference is clear.

forgiveness:
You fellow Kenyan living in the hood just confirmed One Africa place is dwarf of a building yet you are claiming a below 100m building is the tallest residential building in Africa.

So, your lemarc is not up to 100m.

For your information, Azuri Towers are taller than Pointe city at 140m.

forgiveness:
We don't count uncompleted and abandoned projects.

They still retain the position until we here news that are topped out. Next!

Skirmishes:
Stop quoting me u bufoon

forgiveness:
Many journalist will not report non existent building. This I know.

genieluv:
First of all. Let me address the tone of your language. You sound so insultive. You need to stop that if we are going to get into any meaningful discussion to learn from each other.

*****You can see that I left this thread and nairaland as a whole for more than a year, this was because I noticed that this forum started turning me into what I wasn't.

I do not wish to tow that part again, hence please let us refrain from using insultive words on each other, thanks

>>>> Firstly, I have learnt something from your post, and that is 'I shouldn't just pass my judgement with the views of the Kenyans here alone'. I truly have to be in a Kenyan forum with thousands of Kenyans, for me to be able to pass my judgements on how Kenyans criticize their government. That is settled. So, I don't think I will ever ask or talk about Kenyans being so secretive about their political discussions or Kenyans being so optimistic about the progress of their government.

~~~~@ Your first paragraph.
Yeah, I know there was a lot of bigotry in views in my past here and perhaps I need to apologize for those. I do so. I really can't even remember everything I said here or the views I supported more than a year ago.

Some Nigerians on this thread have criticized and berated our government and country, praising Kenya at the same time, including I myself. However, I haven't seen any Kenyan do likewise. Then I wonder who truly shows more blind patriotism between Nigerians and Kenyans.

+*+*+*+ About the points you raised in the first paragraph, beginning with issues of slums. It first of all depends on what we define as slums. If Kibera or Makoko is the basic definition of slums, then truly believe me, Nigeria does not have such (excpet Makoko of course).
However, if the favelas of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil are regarded as slums, then Nigeria has slums, because before unbiased views, there is a very very big difference between what Kibera or Makoko looks like and what the favelas of Brazil look like.

------About skintone, Nigerians and Kenyans should be about the same skin tone. Nigerians may only have more lightskin people because of our population.
Another factor is media presence. For instance, the coastal swahilis and perhaps Somalis should have the lightest skintones in Kenya, but these people are under-represented in Kenyan media, while in Nigeria, the Igbos who tend to have the highest population of lightskinned people dominate Nigerian movie industry.
Kenyan marathon runners are some of the most famous Kenyan people which we all see on Tv and apparently, they are mostly nilotes which tend to be darker skinned than Bantus and others.
As black Africans, We can't really say one group is more good looking than the other cos beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.

••••••••One factor you must consider though is that some cultures tend to value personal grooming than others. Even you Kenyans here have sometime admitted that Nigerians give preference to grooming of looks and appearance. From my point of view, that seems very true! I have observed that Kenyans do not seem to have this grooming culture compared to that of Nigerians and Tanzanians. Perhaps this is the reason why I and some other Nigerians find Tanzanians to be more charming than Kenyans (these are our personal views only).

¤¤¤¤ For example, all Westerners accept the fact that Eastern European women are more beautiful than western European women (you can do some googling on this if you are not aware of the stereotype).
Now, How come this discrepancy when Europeans are of a common stock? This is simply because the wave of feminism did not hit hard on Eastern Europe. Most eastern European women do not have the same mentality with that of western Europe. They believe more in good looks and being very feminine in order to attract a rich man to get married to, while Western women are more of working hard to make their own money to become richer, hence do not give much attention to looks.

Kur17:
Then where he lives will remain a mysterious world

kikuyu1:
I mentioned the many Abuja slums a few pages back:here are the pics.

Dutse and Abasokoro. We don't hide our Kibera!

Kur17:
Unless he lives in kings Distinction Apartments of which I'm not sure if it's taller than One Africa

forgiveness:
What is the name of your apartment?

Nigeria's tallest is 160m while Kenya's tallest is 200m.

Besides that, our Skyscrappers will occupy the third, fourth, fifth and sixth position behind Britam Tower, UAP Tower with the height of 160m, 140m, 140m, and 140m respectively before Times tower with same 140m, if we have to compare.

Even our Champaign pearls Tower is taller than Prism Tower at 135m against 133m.

So, I don't see Kenya having more impressive Skyscrappers either.

I will not disclose the numbers of Skyscrappers under construction. You just wait and see.

The one on ground is higher than Hass Tower.

GERALD710:
The Upper Hills Chamber .I will have to check. Maybe the renders were updated.
But One Africa Place is not impressive in any way.
But I am with the Kenyans here.We have so many skyscrapers under construction (One Africa Place was NOT one of them. My apartment is taller).And given that Nigeria's tallest looks like THAT above. You guys have little to impress about.

GERALD710:
They are not even close to being the tallest in Nairobi.
And Upper Hill Chambers is going to be 104 meters .
One Africa Place is shorter than my apartment!! It is not even close to being the tallest in Westlands, let alone Nairobi.Is there anyone who made a claim related to it?

forgiveness:
Bias towards Nigeria!? Not me. I just want to correct lies. That's all.

Kur17:
Calling a man a lady is very bad, I can imagine how Forgive us is feeling

forgiveness:
Point of correction, I am a man.

However, the whole world has accepted spire as part of a Skyscrapper when counting the meters.

mtisTheQubit:
But serious do you read all that forgiveness posts. Me I usually read first part then skip the middle blah blah then at the end I know how he claims he has exposed us. That takes shorter time than going through all that blog posts an screen shots
