Nigeria has huge scope for growth in aviation. Passenger traffic of 17M for country 4 times more populated than kenya...Kenya is doing as of 2019..I think nearly 13m. That tells you Nigeria should be doing 50m passengers...Not 17M. South Africa does more than 40M passengers annually with OR Tambo in Joburg handling more than 20m. Worldwide more than 4.5B passengers travel annually...so the scope is huge.

Fix the taxes and levies - and domestic airlines will be enough pie for many operators. Nigeria is huge country with poor road infrastructure - so air travel will be safe and convenient - and cheaper.

That video makes Upper-hill looks like a big area, meanwhile upper-hill is smaller than a district in Victoria Island Lagos.

gallivant:
Lagos metro has a population of over 20 million while Nairobi is hovering around 4 million. The size of the city was never in contention, it's all about quality. Get your mind off the gutter!

That place looks underdeveloped than what I thought at first, over 90% of the roads networks, drainage, and other infrastructures are not built, The Konza city will takes over 100 years to get completed .
Eko Atlantic started almost the same time Konza was designed and eko Atlantic has completed all major roads, 13 new bridges, underground drainage, 2 millions trees , Jetty terminals, street lighting, and even many ongoing structures

So you compare Lagos State population to Nairobi city population?

That's lame and a childish argument.

rvp2018:
What is impressive about these grainy pictures.

Upper hill alone would knock Abuja senseless.

If you didn't have your head up your @ss you would clearly see I mentioned Lagos Metro, not State!

Lagos metro does not have 20 million population.

Abuja - good roads - around the CBD - but generally low rise building - very sparse. The city still not there. It almost empty civil servant city.

Look at Nairobi CBD

Are all west African based in south africa or MTN is sending internet traffic back to their home country.

To answer this, your observation is wrong.
We don't have to learn city planning from SA since we have successfully maintained our zoning laws and bulding codes at the pick.

If Quiet is what you wanted to say then I can confidently tell you that 'Nairobi quiet surburbs' have maintained their bulding codes and in no way will you find a tall tower standing in such areas.

FYI, Cytonn had in July 2017 received the NCC approval to build a triplex complex on a four-acre piece of land at the junction of Elgeyo Marakwet but due to its massive height, it was halted due to strict coding and zoning laws.

Get off the fence and quote me directly. There is nothing to fear..

Alliance is not international school. It part of kenya nationals school - very bright kids from poor background like that Maasai are admitted if they score very high marks in KCPE. Definitely Alliance High School graduate will take any Tanzania round in so many circles. That kid you see is studying Engineering...the TZ kid who looks bi-racial definitely cannot smell that boy in academic

Alliance is definitely one of the greatest school (actually THE GREATEST HIGH SCHOOL) in kenya with huge history - and most kenya leaders are product of the Alliance.

Randlord:
You can definitely learn landscaping and streetscaping from SA. At ground level your city is disappointing, over paved and not as green as it looks from above. Yes, you've managed to keep some semblance of zoning but to a learned eye there are glaring flaws with your zoning and how you implement it. In short there is no 'placemaking'.

Randlord:
The lack of cranes is not indicative of a dearth of construction and nor is construction an end in itself. Most of the construction of buildings is done and what's left are the roads and the streetscape. Look at that streetscape, will all due respect Nairobi can learn something. There needs to be some sort of a master plan, not tall buildings randomly plopped in the middle of quite suburbia.

Alliance then Brookhouse which is an international school watch again. The lady is not biracial

rvp2018:
Over-paved? Less green. Kenya cities are actually under-paved and don't have a problem with greenery. If Joburg is thought to be green - Nairobi is congo forest. I can barely see vegetation in Cape Town or Durban.

As for zoning - yes there are obviously flaw linked to poverty - most especially in say Eastland of Nairobi.

Shma2020:
I'm glad you narrowed your argument down to landscaping and streetscaping

Yes, Nairobi has some tasks to do on streetscaping. big up to NMS for bridging the aforementioned gap.

On landscaping, I'm lost :'(.. Kindly enlighten me cos to my understanding the term is quite ambiguous, but if you imply the city gardening /nature improvement, then I will advice you to travel cos nature is nairobi' s first priority and her beautification is key as far as city planning is concerned.

The emboldened rings ignorance ignorance ignorance....... We all know SA cities are breathtaking and developed as far as African cities are concerned but any slight call out should not make you throw hatred out of effusive comments towards others, Nairobi is growing at neck breaking speed .
