That is nice. . It's kinda hot here in Nairobi.

Just30:
Accra is 5.4 million people

Just30:
2021 census put Accra population at 5.4

Appisko:
The most ignorant comment ever use the same Google u yabbing about and Google the population of Abuja

vankelvin:
If Nairobi is hot then Mombasa will be burning hot

rvp2018:
Nairobi continues to scale the heights.

Shma2020:
You might find it's vice versa. But anyway, Mombasa is always hot. I guess it's now blazing hotter than before .

Bra, to wo bo ase

Shma2020:
By this pic, Nairobi will still look far better than many cities even when all skyscrapers were removed. Some people come here to say, oooh... Nairobi is all about skyscrapers, ooooh. Skyscrapers are nothing.. Oooh skyscrapers does not imply anything... Now see this pic. Just a clean nice dwarf city.

Appisko:
Ohh ma menka wagyimi dodo

Roan77:
Are you actually crazy? How can a city of 5-6 million people be empty?
Accra is a city of 4.5 million people, are you also going to call it empty?

vankelvin:
The emboldened... That's to you and your people.

You guys make it look as if city development is all about skyscrapers.

Gichwawa254:
nigga you don't know what you talking about comparing an intellectual giant Tom Mboya with an Nigerian fantastically dimwit IBO witchdoctor who is known only for Biafra war adventures, to like him is OK but comparing him to Mboya is an insult to memories of his fellow greats like Martin Luther King ,Sankara ,Malcolm X ,Lumumba who were killed n died for Africa liberation.

Shma2020:
But you can't compare skyscrapers with highrise & low-rise buildings bro. Skyscrapers have an upper hand. Skyscrapers are much more expensive. Skyscrapers are more esthetically appealing in both skyline & on ground whilst the low rise only dominates on ground. In a nutshell, Skyscrapers are basically advancement of engineering.

Abohboy:
Azikiwe wasn't eveen invovled in the fight for Biafra and had nothing to do with witchdoctors and Azikiwe met with and was friends with allm those people you mentioned he was a great man who led the fight for the independence of Nigeria and other African nations and helped in the fight for Nelson Mandela's execution to turn into imprisonment and on top of that his ideology literally influenced Mboya if you ever bothered to read you'd understand this and why do you think he was called Zik of Africa and not Zik of Biafra as you continue to foolishly claim in any case this argument is senseless they're both great men who fought hard for their people and for Africa and to say one doesn't compare to the other is outright foolish

vankelvin:
You missed the point.
Skyscrapers add beauty and all that to a city but that's not the only indicator of a developing/ed city... City development goes beyond skyscrapers, that's my point.

Azikiwe is just a patriotic Nigerian, not a hero. Nigeria does not have a hero or heroine figure.

I agree
They are very many
That's why you can't just take one
Like Nkrumah and Mandela

Those "heroes" all depended on Nigeria once
From Mandela to Nkrumah

Abohboy:
He was a hero and Nigeria has many heroes from Awolowo to Zik to Okpara to Wachuku to Ransome Kuti to say Nigeriia doesn't have heroes or heroines is foolish he was a lot more then a patriot he fought hard for Nigeria's independence or is pushing for independence and increasing consciousness among youths of Nigeria not a heroic thing?

Shma2020:
I get. Skyscrapers are not the only indicators for measuring development but it's among the indicators.

vaxx:
Nigeria does not have a central hero or heroine, the guys you mentioned up there are only limited in their region. Awolowo is much more recognized in south west than the eastern and northern part of Nigeria , kuti hero was tested when he contested for president seat , he failed absmally. Zik does not have much weight in south and northern part of Nigeria.

most countries of the world, there are names that stand out and are acknowledged as heroes by all, irrespective of ethnicity, religion, region or whatever. Nigeria does not have one . Not even wole soyinka or chinua Achebe.

How? explain further

I know Azikiwe was Nkrumah's school mate in the states but to say Nkrumah depended on Nigeria once is very laughable

Can you come clear on that statement? what kind of dependant be dat one?
