Kk. May be true. Just that Nairobi from it's skyline pics being posted here looks like it has more sky scrappers/highrises. Nairobi's skyline pics look better than Lagos' skyline pics, u agree?

Of course it has but forgiveness is more interested in being delusional as long as it makes him believe Lagos is ahead. For instance, he posts Eagle house and Conoil House as two different buildings in Lagos just to increase the count of buildings over 100m in Lagos. I asked him over and over two post photos of Conoil House and Eagle House but all he did was post Buhahahas and rant over nothing producing meaningless links. Till now he hasn't posted photos of Conoil House and Eagle House.To make it worse the building is not even over 100m high.

Kk. Buh why only 4? Has Kenya ever been military occupied or it seems like some presidents were just ruling above their expected tenures.......
ooooh, i just googled on this n discovered a Kenyan president ruled up to 20 years, Arap Moi. Why?

***Seems like muslims have never produced president or vice in Kenya?

Muslims constitute less than 15% of the population. They'll be lucky to produce a president in our lifetime.

Djbouti's leader have shown his interest In my opinion, i just want both to have the same federation. Not to be one

Djiboutians are mostly Muslim Somali. Do you think merging with them would result in a stable country?

ednited:
we do that just to make the two countries one

You want Djibouti part of Ethiopia?

though, I know they're building something like this for over a year, but, I don't know it would be as fast as this.

I'll try to get a better link.

Wow....that's awesome. Thanks for the information.

Muafrika2:
We should also ban O and Adamskirty from it.

Lol, are you talking of the O that I'm thinking? That dude adds no value to the thread other than gossip like a jobless woman.

shervydman:
its a PPP project, its not just investors money alone.

Still needs a pulling factor to succeed.

shervydman:
did u guys know china has launched a kind of rail line that moves on infrared lines instead of rail?

False. No such technology exists yet.

shervydman:
why?

A project of that magnitude can't be built by government money but investors money. Now tell me what will pull investors to invest in that project?

ednited:
correct. And the leaders know it

Though you guys seem more interested in the Djibouti way.

9jakool:
Abuja's role as the admin. capital has been realized. I see it as unnecessary and a waste of money, a white elephant project like the mil tower and many houses in Abuja. Many development projects in abuja have become abandoned. Many houses have been abandoned. There is no need for a building boom in Abuja as of now, that was the 1980s era when a lot of businesses located from Lagos.That era is now over. Despite the excessive money spent on Abuja, Lagos still remained the commercial/financial capital. I sure hope, the gov is not spending a single naira on that fake project. Also what viable use does it serve. It's just a waste of money. Eko Atlantic is trying to be the new financial HQ of Lagos, Konza city is trying to be the tech cap or Silicone valley of Kenya. Centenary city is even more ridiculous considering that it's supposed to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of Nigeria. Building a fake artificial city is not a way to do so, Nigeria's accomplishment should be visible in its development. Develop the country as it is, not waste money on a fake city with no purpose.

I doubt if centenary city will be built to completion.

ednited:
Kenya is one of the biggest reason for our development. And ur very right. . .competition is a driver

If the LAPSSET project comes to fruition these two countries will make the greatest partnership ever on the Continent and their effect will be felt everywhere.

Hbuyosh:
Klm owns 26% shares in KQ, the rest by Kenyans.

And our oil refinery is still operational, and it is not owned by Indians, it never was, but the govt of Kenya.

At least try to probide the link to back up your sil.ly claims.

You're wasting your time on that guy. He puffs up like a bullfrog whenever anyone mentions something good about Kenya lol.

................ i'm just laughing, does any Nigerian city has a different meaning in Swahili abi na Kiswahili?

Enugu means baboon in various Bantu languages including Kikuyu. Warri sounds like a Tanzanian saying Wali (Tanzanians when speaking Swahili replace l with r, I've never known why). Wali is the Swahili word for cooked rice. Gombe is the gigantic word for cow in Swahili. It means a really big cow. Sokoto is the word for twined. Kano means a small toe in various Bantu languages including Luhya.
Generally Nigerian city names would sound heavy funny to Swahili speakers - like trying to explain how a huge tanker rolled down a hill - like Maiduguri, Ogbomosho, Ogun, Abeokuta, Ibadan, Katsina, Kaduna etc.
Those are all I can tell so far.

shervydman:
.......... u're reminding me about the OX-MAN.

I am talking of a different O though. He's an infantile belligerent crybaby with no content and yet keeps complaining about other people.

Holly With all these beautiful n numerous sky scrappers am seeing in your Nairobi pictures, how come forgiveness was still able to disprove Nairobi having more sky scrappers than Lagos? Or are u just posting different views of same Nairobi sky scrappers?

He did disapprove? lol....you were clearly not following the argument. Anyone who was realized that forgiveness is a retard - I'm sorry to say that.

uzzyfire:
looooollll and Kenya is one big heaven were angels roam d streets and everybody rides a unicorn

Yes. Kenya is heaven.

obaaderemi:
I think it's the 'Bantu' link.Black Africans are similar in many ways down to our various problems.It's why I can't take these banters too seriously.Unlike some from your end of the wood.There's a certain guy who fights here like his very existence depends on it.The funny little fellow.

Lol.....this dude has been here bitter and all puffed up on this thread since it's inception yet he keeps talking of how he 'doesn't take these banters seriously ".

shervydman:
no, no, no..........who's celebrating him for that?

You may not but idiots like Nowenuse and the O guy do.

Hbuyosh:
So, Shervyd, if my comment above is stewpid, what makes 688's comment above smart? I intentionally made that bogus statement, just as a mockery to 68816419 false claims above, that stewpid and false notion that the Kenyan economy is run by the few, pale skinned citizens of Kenya, who enjoy all the best things this country has to offer, whilst the indigenous citizens all have their place in the squalor of the Kiberas and Mathares.

That is absolutely untrue!
Whereas it is quite true that virtually all the white people in Kenya are middle class, and that there are very few poor Asians here (whicg is the case pretty much everywhere in Africa, in any case), they are the minority race in Kenya, making up less than 15pc of the populatiom.

688's claim would there4 mean that 85% of Kenyans are poor, which is not really the case.

Kenya is not a segregated society, whereby in the urban areas, there are places exclusively for the whites, Asians, Africans etc. That is something Kenyans would not even countenance my friend, ask that Chinese who was shutting out Africans from her restuarant after certain hours in the evenings. That restuarant in Hurlingham was vandalized, and she was deported!

Kenyan Africans with means reside in all these high end suburbs in Nairobi and elsewhere in the country. Muthaiga, the Beverly Hills of Nairobi is mostly resided by blacks.....that I can tell u very straight- facedly.

Actually less than 1% of Kenyans are non-Africans so according to him 99% of Kenyans live in poverty.

PissedYagami:
This is what tha 688 guy does all the time.

.......and they actually celebrate him for that.

adamskutty:
The second lady looks ugly to me!!! Are they Kenyans BTW

She beat your models to the crown.

Marcelo290:
Baby gurl, you are trynna be open and objective, again you view Nigeria with Negativity and seem to be assimilating more of the make believe stories they brain wash you with here, making you think they are any better, most of Africa is struck up with these problems you think are peculiar to Nigeria, many are worse off.

But go through their posts here, do you see any of them talk about it? everyone is trying hard to paint and bring the good sides of their country to lime light, you on the other hand who is supposed to be doing same is making our efforts useless and letting us down, all in a bid to look objective which they themselves here aren't, so that's my point...have fun

Actually you're the one who's trying to paint a picture of utopia about Nigeria. That's why you get mad at anyone who dares compliment any other country or speak of the reality in Nigeria. Hahaha!!!

fanficgirl:
I'm confused. I wasn't trying to paint Nigeria as bad. I just talked about my experiences to him and what I've seen. I wasnt trying to even compare poverty lol. I just said I believe thw smartest Nigetians are still in Nigeria, but too many dont have the avenues to fullfill their potential. This wasnt even about Kenya or trying to please them. If you say things are gettibg better fine. Lol I said innovation as not enough focus and money is put in it. If you say things are different on ground and what I've seen doesn't reflect then okay. I alsi mentioned innovators from Nigerian universities

He puffs up like a bullfrog whenever Kenya is mentioned. Tell him there's a mountain with snow in Kenya and he'll jump in puffed up telling you how the mountain is valueless, owned by whites or about some hills in Nigeria that are better.

TayserMahiri:
I noticed the number of bad stories in Naija blogs have dramatically increased lately with the latest immigration from Naija. Either the Naija guys residing here don't want other Nigerians coming over, or they just want paint a bad picture after being surprised by the level of advancement here.

.....yet they keep coming. Pathetic people.

Nowenuse:
Quote me when a Kenyan wins Miss world, then i can give u a consideration.

Any fool or hungry blogger can write anything anywhere on net.

Evelyn Njambi - No. 5 Miss World 2016. No. 1 in Africa.

Esther Were - No. 5 Miss World 2017. No. 1 in Africa.

Now stop acting gay and become a man.

fanficgirl:
Yeah, they ranked ahead because Kenyans have big asses apparently and Nigerians don't have the body to match the face
That site is so anti Nigerian though lol I looked through and there is a new thread hating on Nigerians

Lol, try searching Kenya on this site and you'll see. I actually signed up after seeing too many negative stories about Kenya and wanted to help people see the right perspective. To make it worse most of the bad-mouthing of Kenyans here stems from false stories from some shady blogs. lol

fanficgirl:
I'm confused they both have 12. Nigerian universities don't focus on innovation, though they are good with education. However, you have a few like these people who are a product of Nigerian universities
Col. Oviemo Ovadje
Sebastine Chinonye Omeh
Mohammed Bah Abbah

There is a reason Nigerians seem yo do better abroad. Neverless, Nigerians are brilliant.

I don't think judging people by how they perform abroad gives a skewed representation of reality. It's mostly the brightest students who get admitted to top universities abroad and people tend to work harder in diaspora. Kenyans also perform very well abroad but those few aren't a representative of the reality on ground in Kenya.

genieluv:
OMG! I love this hit. I have watched it once buh i never got to remember the name, i would have downloaded it.

Of course, this song has a very ordinary background, it must have been shot in Tanzania, considering the fact that these artistes are not very popular yet.

@NairobiWalker, i hope u don't say otherwise!
Let me tell you something, a music video must not show beautiful n luscious surroundings before it can be said to be of good quality. It can be shot in an ordinary house or studio and still look mwaaah

So i really don't see the excuse of Tanzanians shooting videos outside Tanzania or not as a reasonable one.
They are really doing well with their entertainment industry n i think that's what matters.
Kenyan artistes really need to wake up from what i'm seeing, cos their vibes seem very low.

Which Kenyan music are you listening to? And which Kenyan videos are those you find of poor quality? Do you have to belittle Kenyans when you compliment Tanzanians?

fanficgirl:
Lol here is a beauty list I found yesterday rating Africans , though its completely biased

http://www.thecoli.com/threads/baddest-afro-descent-women-leaderboard-completed-come-see-final-scores.504659

.....So Kenya ranked ahead of Nigeria lol. Nowenuse will have a heart attack yet if it were the other way round he'd have found a new song here. I don't even get it when men spend lots of time arguing over beauty lol. All women are beautiful and should be appreciated as they come.

genieluv:
whoo, I know many good Tanzanian songs cos i watch Trace Mziki a lot. Do you watch the channel?

Here r some Tanzanian songs that top East african charts. I'd like to know their shooting locations.
