If 90% of Lagos is a slum, then it would have been reported likewise by international media and organizations, but it's not.
A place that has houses as appartments with modern toilet facilities, clearly defined motorable roads and some level of sanitation cannot be likened to a slum.

I agree that Lagos used to be messy in the past, but since the last Governor's administration, it has been really wow!

What abt Nigeria's 2nd largest city Abuja? A city with an urban population of about 3 million and yet no single slum. What do u call that?

Let me be frank to u, the reason why Lagos had issues for many years in the past was because it was completely neglected by the Federal govt of the nation who focused on Abuja alone. It took the former governor (a progressive person) many years to fix Lagos.
So, all those shitty pictures u see of Lagos are over a decade old pics.

If you can say all those glorious stuff about Nigeria then why are you so adamant that Nairobi is a slum yet all sane Nigerians who come to Nairobi admit it is a better city with better facilities, better electricity supply, better infrastructure and better living standards than Lagos?

cause we "9JAs" believe we are " Global Citizen" and can reside any where we want to either it been in a "Slum city or even New York"

Because Mlolongo is a nice area for you. BTW, if Kasarani, BuruBuru, Kangemi etc are slums like you stated then Mlolongo is a worse meaning you live in a slum in Kenya. If a middle class Nigerian who can afford to travel to other countries like you lives in a slum will I be wrong to say the average Nigerian lives in a worse slum?

From the same writer quotation

"While many may dispute these figures, I find it highly unlikely that the margin of error in the census was so huge that the population of a settlement dropped dramatically to one-fifth of its previous estimate in just a few years – unless the drop can be explained by a natural disaster or epidemic.

The more likely scenario is that, in the absence of authoritative statistics, the population figure for Kibera was entirely made up to suit the interests of particular groups. And because no one publicly challenged the figures, a lie became the truth.

Let me confess at the outset that I am among those people who have published inflated population estimates for Kibera without having any solid evidence to back up the figures. "

After the Westgate attack, the same white writers made countless videos and wrote countless articles claiming the thing was a staged because they couldn't believe such an awesome mall could be found in Africa. Did you believe them too? It's interesting how you Nigerians are always complaining how white people make wrong statistics of Africa yet when they do that to another African country you agree with them even when REAL statistics done by Africans state otherwise.

PissedYagami:
Actually these are Kikuyu areas, whites stay in Nanyuki area mainly. Indians in towns mostly. And these are Kenyans. Nigerians are mostly students who live in these so called slums you are talking about. And Nigerians arent even Kenyan

Kuwa mpole boss - sii wasapere pekee wanaishi hizo place poa. Umepigia watu wako ndebe sana.....tulia pia. Sisi wengine hujenga uchumi pia.

U bleeping idiot,i give lessons on those.i am a real african man not some stupid effeminate limp biscuit like u.u need those lessons not me.

You sound like you need lesson. A real man doesn't bootlick that much to get a girl.

68816419:
When i say "Tribes " i mean the real Africans, the Africans that can associate him self with black skin and be proud about it. sawa?

Why did you run away from Ajegunle to stay in Mlolongo?

68816419:
Amazing indeed, especially where in Indians , whites and Nigerians stays !

To all those peeps listening to this idiot masturbate over Indians, take note that there are only 100,000 Indians in Kenya and according to him those 100,000 live in all those nice places we've posted here.

68816419:
I guess we should create a new thread " Are Kikuyu criminals or are they the real owners of Kenya at large? " nigga till then, as for now the debate is on countries not tribes

If it's about countries and not tribes then stop mentioning Indians and Whites everytime Kenyans showcase something that is good and beat Nigeria flat.

PissedYagami:
extends all the way to naivasha and nakuru, this is amazing

To Kisumu, Mombasa, Lamu and Eldoret. New York City must be dying with jealousy.

ianSweet:
Nigeria is more diverse than u think. English is just our official language.
Pidgin english, Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo are more spoken than English in our country. Those who speak English as their everyday home language are not up to 15% in Nigeria.

......then your brother must be illiterate. Everyone who's literate should be able to speak their country's official language fluently.

forgiveness:
My South African Brother has been watching CNN lately. You only see were they show you.


Lagos is different from Lagos State. Ihope you know that very well.


now, you can buy the story of Lagos after you see this article of the most beautiful cities in Africa. NAIROBI NO DEY DERE.

Funny you're complaining of CNN as a source of information yet your kind are here basing all their arguments about Kibera on CNN even after being proved wrong over and over.

the only nice 2% of the country ,what a shame

Seems the only nice 2℅ of Kenya is way better than the only nice 1℅ of Nigeria judging from the photos.

ianSweet:
Lagos is 6 times the size of Nairobi in population yet only one slum in Nairobi (Kibera) is bigger than all the slums in Nigeria put together.

Kudos to Kenya for producing the biggest slum in Africa.

To a Kenyan 90℅ of Lagos is a slum my dear. Just check it out on Google maps and compare with Nairobi. Just because a slum is normal to you peeps doesn't mean that place is good. I posted here photos of Ibadan - pure slums, by Nigerians claimed that was Normal housing. Perhaps that's why you guys think you have no slums. You consider slums to be very normal housing.

PROVERBZ:
lol I just wish u was smart enough too know DAT a black man don't owe any baddy proper English
sorry slave. am the one Hus meant too dismiss u now you

u can slowly Bleep outta my mentions

Dude, the language of instruction for all your schools and universities is English. Your national language is English(ours is Swahili) yet you can't type proper English. Why don't you teach in Yoruba then? You guys are so delusional.

ianSweet:
OMG! Do u mean all these are slums in Kenya? Even the university has a slum.
Kibera is the largest slum in Africa. A slum so big that is made up of various villages and districts.
What a shame!

Do your own research and stop relying on an uninformed hater my sister. BuruBuru for instance that he calls a slum would easily pass for a posh neighborhood in Ibadan.

Ednite:
THIS QUESTION GOES FOR ALL KENYANS AND NIGERIANS IN HERE


why do you fight all the time? On Twitter, on Facebook and now here. Why? Why? Why?

Countries fight all the time. Don't tell me you're blind to the online Ethiopia-Eritrea wars. These things are normal. Anyway we Kenyans are just calling Nigerians off their ignorance.

68816419:
The only Good parts CBD and its environs !

You mean Nairobi's CBD extends all the way to Kiambu? Nairobi must be the most awesome city in the world.

obaaderemi:
U are the pathetic one here.what do i need backup 4?oh,the kind the black s.africans give u here?i have always said gud things about ethiopia.i have always been proud of ethiopia unlike ur tawdry pseudo modern backwater u call kenya which is owned by indians..so piss off,dirty masai.

Are you trying to get an Ethiopian girl? Sorry bruh - that's not the way about it. You need some dating and seduction lessons.

OLD MAN, keep your Lamentations of your soul to yourself …

I have no time for little silly girls.

iblawi:
Even you can testify that you are a madman. Am not your kind as am far above you. Useless set of human beings

You wouldn't be repeating everything I say if you weren't mad.

iblawi:
Even your fellow Kenyans can testify that you are an idiot. Idiots like you only attract idiots that will soon support you.

Foolish Kenyan

I have seen a fellow Nigerian call you an idiot but I haven't seen a Kenyan call me so. You don't reason. You don't post anything of substance. You have no argument other than quoting people and calling them stupid and even whenever anyone posts a long post that requires good comprehension and reason you can't respond to it with an argument other than insult them. You're very foolish.

iblawi:
I posted mine with a source from a reputable media. The world know Kenya to be the home of slums dwellers and the very reason why UN Habitat was stationed there.

I know it must have hurt you badly.

Let me ask you a question. Do you get hurt when a madman insults you?......oh, wait,.....you are a madman yourself. You wouldn't understand.

obaaderemi:
U are new to this thread.we ve seen better pix than these siht u are posting here.shame

I haven't seen anything from Nigeria that comes close to that. I have been on this thread since it started.

obaaderemi:
Only a stupid african will say rubbish about ethiopia.hell!even the italians respect ethiopia.those rock churches in lalibela is enough proof of ethiopia,s ingenuity.forget those kenyans and black s.a. they are suffering from colonial mentality.

A pathetic attempt to win Ethiopia's backup lol. If you have to say something nice about Ethiopia, say it without having to put others down or compare them with others - your compliment comes of as more genuine that way.

ianSweet:
I think you are unrealistic. In almost all analysis from different media bodies, Kenya and South Africa have always been recorded to have bigger and more slums than Nigeria, despite the fact we have more cities which are bigger in size and a larger overall population. So why the hating?

It's because Kenya and SA have a larger tourism industry and international media presence so a lot is reported about them and as usual exaggerated by NGOs to get more donor funding (like Kibera slum that has been reported to have 2.5M people when it only has 170k people) but if you even talked to an honest Nigerian who has been to Kenya he'll tell you Nigeria has way more slums in Kenya. See Ibadan city for instance, more of that city is practically a slum but you guys claim there are no slums in Ibadan.

ianSweet:
Kenyan clothes to me have not been promoted to show a standard, exotic and appealing taste. It has no uniqueness of its own or unique styles. Any African country can claim to own it.
Can't u show me pics of unique kenyan styles which are worn by all Kenyans both as an everyday attire and to social gatherings?
What do u guys use in your social gatherings? Western clothes?

Your opinion on Kenyan clothes doesn't make it a reality - only a fool would claim those clothes Muafrika posted can be native to Senegal for instance.

shizzy7:
If they were in the news for something bad, You'd make a "FUSS" about it.
I wrote 8(eight).
Of every moniker on this thread, frankly, I don't like you. SKIP my posts. That shouldn't be hard for you.

Little girl - I have five beautiful girlfriends, a Luhya, a Kikuyu, a Taita, a White Woman and a Somali-Meru woman. Seriously I don't need some strange girl from a country that isn't really known for producing beautiful women to like me. To keep it short, I'm not here to be liked - I know you hate me because you posted very stupid stuff and I called you on it but I don't care. I always speak my mind. Once again, you want me to skip your posts - skip mine and avoid posting stupidity.

Go improve your grammar and come back. I can't stand people who can't type a proper language.

shizzy7:
You have a major problem deciphering posts. That's why I don't blame ibla who is always insulting you.
I hardly quote you please always SKIP my posts..

My level of understanding and IQ is beyond most you Nigerians on here - that's why you have a major problem understanding me. Iblawi is retarded - retarded people amuse retarded people.
You don't me to quote you - stop quoting me and posting stupid things and trust me you won't have to deal with me.

iblawi:
Your problem is not kibera alone. You have almost 200 slums in Nairobi alone.


Kibera Facts & Information

There are approximatly 2.5 million slum dwellers in about 200 settlements in Nairobi representing 60% of the Nairobi population and occupying just 6% of the land. Kibera houses about 250,000 of these people. Kibera is the biggest slum in Africa and one of the biggest in the world.

You have over 10,000 slums in Nigeria

LeSudAfricaine:
It might be big but has anything changed for you? Or you just excited thats it's big. You are more concerned with status than substance, that's why even countries like Botswana are doing better than you, with your "big" economy

South Africa owned South Africa (pan Africans)

Which major sports? You must be deluded, when it comes to sports Nigeria is not our peer

Correction: you do not have the second best movie industry. It's the third biggest in sheer volume. You guys produce 5O movies a day and all of them shhty. South Africa has movies with Oscars and many are screened on international movie festivals, clearly you might be big but we arte the best

Perfect - These guys are more concerned with STATUS rather than SUBSTANCE.

iblawi:
UN Habitat was located there because Kenya was the target. Too many slums.


Kenyans have the largest slum in Africa and the highest number of slums in Africa.


FYI many of our local companies are already multinational. We didn't ask you to be poor.

You Wikipedia link prove no shit. Try harder.

I guess FAO was located in Rome because Rome has too many starving people too.
