Vipingo is not a village; Vipingo is large sisal estates owned by Rea Vipingo. Rea Vipingo is Africa largest sisal producer with estates in Kenya and Tanzania.The particular land lies btw Mombasa and Kilifi - you drive for almost 30kms of Vipingo sisal estate - touching the sea. They have more than 100,000 acres.

Centum bought shares of Vipingo targetting the land. Eventually when Rea Vipingo wanted to delisted - Centum refused - and demand some of land - they were given 10,000 acres worth 1Billion dollars

I bought into Centum's Two Rivers - all units in phase one have been sold out. The same for Vipingo city - all units already sold out.

Centum has 10,000 acres to go. They are selling beach front plots for 0.5M dollars. They have just done a few hundred of acres - but onces completed the 10,000 acres will host 200,000 people plus...the same as Tatu City.

Centum just made their first loss in decades thanks to COVID - otherwise Centum is a solid company - although the founder died this year - Chris Kirubi.

Just30:


it can be tirring

i feel, he must be educated on the differences between cities, towns, villages, districts, municipalities, metropolis and etc

Like my sister stays in a place with 7 malls, dozens of estate, huge hospitals, rail, leasure places, it has a huge manufacturing plants that supplies BMW, mercs, rollsroyce, toyota, VA, BRIDGESTONE ETC

YET we still regard it as a town not a city.

But i suppose that differs from country to country

Rvp just comfirm Centum making losses

Definition of a village


A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town (although the word is often used to describe both hamlets and smaller towns), with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand.

A farming village is still a farming village until it reaches a town status

Shackman nearly every company made losses in covid period. Making a loss doesnt mean the company is struggling. This first loss - small loss -compared to the profit they normally make.

Centum Investment Group has posted the first full-year loss in 42 yrs.

yeah

Most countries set a population limit for what differentiates a town from a city and a village from a town..

Most times, the only difference is the population....

Not you again with name calling. Id like to believe you more matured than that

I said they making losses, of which is true #fact

Dont patronise me

Because if we go by how kenya defines it, then i don't know

Shackman.They made a small loss. They are not making losses. That is present continous tense - and you have no evidence of that.

So Daadab refugee camp in kenya with 200,000 somalis is a city. Or the 200,000 south sudanese in Kakuma camp ?. Not kenya urban areas are defined based not only on population but infrastructure. It starts from village market centers, to towns, to municipals, to cities and metropolis.
A City now requires 250K population with requiste infrastructure.

Their present statement shows losses,

No one knows what will happen tomorrow, but currently its losses

Then every 4 blocks estate will be a city

Again present CONTINOUS - KQ is making losses - Centum made a loss. This is the stuff you should have been taught in pre-primary if you had any education worth it's salt.

Madcow in Ghana definitely - your sprawling slums - will be called cities

Kenya has urban law

The same law also allows a county to declare an urban area a municipality if it has a resident population of at least 50,000 residents, while for an area to be declared a town it has to have at least a population of 10,000 residents and a market centre would only require 2,000 residents .

A town i told you about has a population over 500 000 but we regard it as a town. There are 1000s like it but still we regard them as towns



That's the standard we set on our selves.

You're an idiot 500,000 times 1000s is 500M - are you China or India. 500,000 is a big city. Unless youre talking west africa slumpolis without any infrastructure.

Kenya cities use to start at 0.5M - but now it been lowered to 0.25m. If Centum within it's own land will host 200,000 and 50,000 will grow outside it - then it will become a city. The same with Tatu and others.

You like mentioning education on everthing, stop that saying that does not make you smarter

Statements shows losses, its not making profits

Shackman - stop using plurals - it shows a LOSS. Not losses. You need to wait for it to make another loss. For it to become losses. It has made profits for 42yrs.

I know you are lying hence why you cant quote that law


See how you dont even know the differences between political subdivisions and geographic subdivisions

You are here giving a 10,000 plus which is the definition of a village to a town

You are old enough to be using primary school kids tactics of name calling, you an elder here with kids for God sake.

Losses by means of consecutive months

South Africa has only 9 - if you include Soweto - with 0.5M people. The only thing you own is probably the stuff in your shack. You do not posses South Africa


Cape Town 3,433,441
Durban 3,120,282

Sound argument 101. You refute with your own more credible figures. I got them from the internet - genius. Show me the 1,000 plus 0.5M cities in little South Africa.

So any town in Kenya will automatically be a village in Ghana
