We’ve seen it all.I mean 5 years down the line u’ve been scrambling the nets for pics to defend the mess of ur roads-U even went ahead thinking mama ngina private road will save u but that ain’t the case. There is not point wasting my time and that of any body here.the quality of roads we keep posting should inform u by now that u are yet to get to our level.This things are naked eye test not paper rubbish.

Your roads can never stand kenya in terms of quality. You can keep on spewing your tantrums and verbal diarrhea but that won't dispute the fact that your roads are in tatterdemalion state.

If you can't give us sources or picture, then don't waste my time with your incoherent write up, okay?

Nairobi station only has larger parking space than Lagos station due to it's location and nothing more, Lagos main station is bigger than Nairobi terminal,fact!, it has two huge terminals with 6 elevators ,6 excalators . Lagos state alone has three huge station namely, Apapa(port station) Lagos station, and Agege station,how many terminals, lifts and excalators are in Nairobi station ( Kenya's largest) ?

So you want us to compare these two are you serious my guy?

Bottomline: ur roads are trash.work on that or go compete with Uganda.

In quality, even Uganda has better roads than nigeria. You can fact-check that on Google as you wipe your tears

Even on ground things are different. You cannot stand Uganda.

Meanwhile, your Abuja is miles away behind Mombasa in development. See, these two are current Mombasa ports, one is the expanded kilindini port and the other one is lapset corridor. No sea port in the entire nigeria can stand any of these.

Noise.Never u equate Abuja with Mombasa except if you are going to provide evidence that u are mentally ill ,otherwise save us the incessant noise.

As for port, Mombasa comes behind Lagos.

Wait wait wait. below is the evidence that displays the state of your tatterdemalion ugly roads.

For Mombasa and Abuja, I told you long time ago that comparing the two cities is like demeaning Mombasa in the most extreme way unimaginable. How can a city with 3 highrises and no inner roads bark at his grandfather?

For ports, Mombasa crushes your integrated slum city hands down. I mean, no port In the entire nigeria can stand both of those two.

Big boys only.

What does the term UNESCO site mean to you.?. Lamus urban structure and building fabric has been maintained up to the present day.In the 15th century streets were not built for cars streets were generally narrow .15th century urban planning is not today's urban planning.
In the History of African Architecture some of the best case studies include the architecture of the Dogon people in Mali and the Swahili Architecture in Lamu and East African coast.

You must be daft ..just try and make a point of doing some research.

Mkenya2019:
Lame. You posted the exact same source - and was happy when Kenya had one bank. Now you're posting Bank Capital list - I bet as we speak now - in Africa top 25 - Kenyan banks are 3- Nigeria 5.

Joke is on you. You posted a blog and expected to be taken seriously. On bank asset and capital your banks are nowhere to be found.

Look like you have every reason to be worried - as of last year (2021 ranking) - you were banks were taking in water --lots of it.

Nigerian lenders experienced difficulties on a number of fronts in 2020. The impact of the coronavirus pandemic, combined with a slump in oil revenues (which eased toward the end of the year), resulted in the country’s worst economic performance in more than 20 years. Its five largest lenders all posted significant falls in this year’s Top 1000 ranking, with only First Bank Nigeria registering an increase in its Tier 1 capital base during 2020.

Zenith Bank — the country’s largest lender by Tier 1 capital — fell 68 places to number 454 in the Top 1000 ranking, its Tier 1 capital position declining by 5.4% even as it recorded a 7.7% rise in total assets. Meanwhile, Nigeria’s second biggest lender, Guaranty Trust Bank, drops from 537 to 625 in this year’s main ranking.

When it comes to performance however, the position of the country’s top two lenders is reversed. Guaranty tops the performance tables for Nigeria for the second consecutive year, coming first in its scores for operational efficiency, liquidity, and leverage, with Zenith remaining in second position. Guaranty’s cost-to-income ratio remains far lower than its national peers, standing at 28.9% at the end of 2020, compared with 41.2% for Zenith and 56.1% for Access Bank.

Zenith scored highest for profitability and soundness in the 2021 performance tables. The lender’s return on equity stood at 20.6%, second only to Guaranty’s 24.7% at the end of 2020.

Guaranty also overtakes Access Bank in the main Top 1000 ranking to become Nigeria’s second largest lender, even as its Tier 1 capital base decreased 10.8% for the year.

Access Bank’s Tier 1 capital suffered a steeper fall of 18.1% for the year, putting it just behind Guaranty in the country rankings, and in 630th place in the overall Top 1000, compared with 508th spot last year. But Access remains the country’s largest lender by total assets, thanks in no small part to a series of acquisitions across the continent. After merging with local rival Diamond Bank and acquiring Kenya’s Transnational in 2019, Access announced the acquisition of Zambia’s Cavmont in 2020, and also acquired Mozambique’s African Banking Corporation earlier in 2021.

Access comes in in fourth position in 2021’s performance rankings, compared with fifth position last year. The bank topped the country for asset quality — its non-performing loan ratio dropping from 5.7% to 4.3% for the year — but ranked lowest in the country’s top five for soundness.

United Bank for Africa, the country’s fourth largest lender in the Top 1000, ranks third nationally for performance, with high scores for growth and return on risk offset by lower scores for leverage, soundness, asset quality and operational efficiency.

Wow! So what was the position of Kenya's biggest bank on the list? I am waiting.

From your post I see that Nigerian banks are even expanding than I thought.

Meanwhile - end of 2019 - Kenya banks are moving up - I bet 2 more years - they will have overtaken most of Nigeria banks - save maybe for one.

KCB, previously at position 29 in 2019 rankings, remains Kenya’s most profitable lender with one of the largest local and regional networks.

Equity Bank Group was ranked at position 27 from the previous 54 in 2019. Equity was capitalized at US$ 1,103 Million with Assets worth US$ 6647 Million and Profits of US223 Million compared to US$ 248 Million made by KCB.

NCBA is ranked at position 40 from the previous 84th in 2019. At the end of December 2019, this lender was capitalized at US$ 664 Million, a balance sheet size of US$ 4881 Million and a profit of US$ 77 Million.

Co-operative Bank of Kenya has dropped to position 42 from the previous 39 in 2019. At the end of last year, the lender was capitalized at US$ 650 Million, a balance sheet size of US$4,509 Million and a profit of US$141 Million.

Diamond Trust Bank (DTB) Kenya is ranked at 43 in 2020 from the previous 47. It was capitalized at US$ 569 Million, with a balance sheet size of US$ 3,810 Million and a profit of US$72 Million.

No they are not expanding. Last year was first time Kenya banks entered top 25 in Africa - with KCB and Equity - squeezing - to 20 and 22nd. Remember 10yrs ago - it only one Kenya bank that made Africa top 100 - and world top 1000.

As we speak 10 Kenyans banks make Africa top 10 - and world top 1000 (I think has now 5 kenyan banks).

As we speak Equity has dethroned KCB - and both have grown - so the next ranking - I see Equity moving just below Zenith Bank in Nigeria - and KCB following hot on their heels.

Wrong. We currently have 2 approved 380+m tall buildings ~ taller than iconic tower In Egypt. Tallest apartment in africa - 88 condominium is also underway in Nairobi - 8, 38fls ngara towers currently under construction - Altura 27fls on ground breaking. - 2 other 28+ fls are on ground breaking
I doubt if SA has any approved or proposed super tall building.

Morocco... Yeah, I think Morocco has
one of the tallest tower currently under construction. If everything goes in plan, then It will be among the skyscraper giant in africa.

For Egypt that is undisputed.

Lagos no waaay!
