Lol should I show you receipt of SAns here rebuking Kenya and saying Nairobi looks like nothing close to anything in SA.
Pls take the ball log of your eye. Lagos future is not in Africa,we are aiming global standards,you are aiming SA and so far so good they are saying you are still not looking anything close to them.

Must be sad taahira,don’t you think?

Lol he's lost Durban has more skyscrapers than Johannesburg

Anyways no one is counting them in 2022...Kenyans

Fyi, when the Thika hway project kicked off in 09 the Nairobi uni eng faculty unofficially requested the contractors to not ONLY provide work attachment for students but share blueprints as an invaluable real life learning curriculum.
The 3 contractors China Wu Yi Company, Sinohydro Corporation and Sheng Li Engineering Construction collectively said JONG BU (NEVER, NIGGA!?)
I heard the request went as far as the ForMin to no avail. I don't blame Woo- they have their own agenda and have spent decades AND trillions realising their national human technical capacity. Like you I'm happy to see at least some on our side were forward thinking.

May God, any of the gods or Gods actually bless Amaechi, our minister of transportation. Dude made sure Chinese Engineers, in collaboration with Nigerian Engineers built the rail lines, he specifically told them not to bring any Chinese Engineer where a Nigerian Engineer can fill.

He even went as far as sending some 200 Nigerian Engineers to china to understudy how train mechanical structures are made..... we now have a train wagon plant here and the Nigerian Engineers have been tasked to build every civil works of rail lines project.

Knowledge transfer 101.

Part of the reason why Amaechi is amongst my top two (the other is Osinbanjo).
Amaechi also once said in an interview that all of Nigeria should be looking like Abuja no matter where you go and anytime he visits Capetown, he thinks of having a city like that in Nigeria. I'll check for the link of this interview. This interview was probably last year I think. Amaechi may be corrupt but whenever he is given a job he tries to leave an imprint.

I am interested in learning all I can about your country. What is the mentality of the average Zanziban? Is it different from how people in the mainland think? Thank you.

I dont think problem of Africa engineers is technical; there has been no technical advancement in building a railway since 18th century; it remain civil works to flatten the ground; tire two wires together and pour ballast; or building a paved road - remain civil work to flatten the ground, foundation, pour tar or bitumen; difference is minor standards btw countries on the size and dimensions;

Chinese dont have advance tech they use to build their roads or railway compared to Africa contractors. What China have is work ethic - top notch project management - they work 24-7 on a project - and that is what makes all the difference. Generally you need maybe one engineer for every 1,000 workers.

Africans have been sending millions of it professional to train, school, live abroad - but they come back to - to find a culture that reward laziness, corruption and they get used to it.

Few countries that have succeeded in Sub Sahara Africa in stamping out laziness or lack of discipline for me has to be 1) Rwanda 2) Ethiopia. Ethiopia under Meles were able to build about kilometres(not sure) of railway entirely on their own. Rwanda have done incredible job to build discipline in their society.

Chinese are doing great because they work harder than anybody else - they work 7 days a week almost for 12hours everday if not more - Japanase and South Asians generally do the same - that culture of hardwork is what is totally lacking in Africa.

Always wondered with South Korea and Japan work ethic it also baffles me why Japan's economy has stagnated for 30 years and korea is kidnapped by family businesses

Cashless transactions in Nigeria rose 44% year-on-year in Jan-April 2022, to hit 117.33 trillion naira (280 Billion dollars). This is 35.79 trillion naira more than the 81.54 trillion (194 Billion dollars) in Jan-April 2021.

Good but we need to do some of this ishyt ourselves! I thought Jean-Fraude was working on that? We need to leverage all and any of our own resources, engineering and urban planning faculties of our unis with national & county oversight,lease or assemble heavy equipment locally and raise infrastructure bonds on county level.

Amazing idea! We should now engage our local engineers to handle complex infrastructures. We need to feel the real black- man's participation in the modern world dev. We should not allow foreigners - whites, to be doing everything. They will always sit on our heads if change Is not achieved. We need to be like China, and build our economy with our unique skills. I believe Africans can form an empire if they believe in themselves. Some iconic characters like Dr. Aprille Ericsson, a black man who commanded the world's most Advanced Aerospace engineers - but earned his recognition in a white man's land, could be the people to pioneer this movement.

The problem with you is EGO. EGO of sitting in a 30% white-dominated land and thinking you've made it in life. Ego is now telling you that skyscrapers are something outdated, and as we advance, we should not talk about them - when the world's top-notch engineers are busy planning on how to advance to 1km + super tall.

Anyway, Johannesburg has more taller buildings than any country in Africa. The tallest building in Durban will be dwarfed by UAP, talkless of GTC or Britam.

Balogunodua:
Reminds me of Konza

What has konza done? When the most advanced tech institute funded by s.korea just break ground a few months ago? The first iconic vertical infrastructure of its kind - cos horizontal infrastructure is 90% done.

Malawi is going broke - next Ghana

KQ suspend flights due to foreign currency repatriation difficulties

Japan only mistake was to miss the computer/ict revolution as they focussed on robotics otherwise Japan and South Korea are very rich countries. Economy in developed world is stagnant. It true in Europe - and even in the US (which mostly an exception as it attract immigrants).

He is not speaking about tallest he is saying Durban has more skyscrapers than Johannesburg but Johannesburg appear to be more advanced abd Nairobi is struggling real hard to compete with Durban in anything.
He has the right to have that ego.if Kenya was SA you will be just as egoistical if not more than he is his. Suck it up and develop your zoo. So you can be egotistical. Stop whining already,it’s stale.

Lol alll this noise for what exactly? Oga get your locals to incorporate with the Chinese in construction or fold your hands and watch them keep giving you substandard infrastructure like your entire sgr and more recently that stretch of road that will faded out in 6 month max

Lol Nairobi is hideous you can’t tell me nothing

Less than Kenya MPESA - now close to 300B dollars - mobile money transaction alone.

Safaricom records show the mobile money platform increased the total value of transactions by 34 per cent last year to hit the Sh29.5 trillion mark for the financial year ended March 2022.

This saw earnings from the platform increase to Sh107.7 billion having grown from Sh82.6 billion in 2021, indicating the increasing importance of M-Pesa to Kenya’s financial sector.

https://english.news.cn/africa/20220524/9c004d1e81d74cf7b78fca452e03dc33/c.html

Mpesa transactions just only more than half of Kenyan GDP ( probably 60 Billion dollars)

Shackman can speak for himself. He got independence in 1994!

There is almost nothing you can teach us Nigeria.
We send engineers to China.
But even more than that we had China come to kenya and expand our existing Railway Institute of Training.
Now it regional(Africa outside RSA) school of railway engineering.

Kenya Railways Trainining Institute.
https://www.rti.ac.ke/
The Railways Training Institute now has the capacity to train up to 800 Kenyans using the same standards used to train the SGR Kenyan staff who undertook a training exercise in China.
The institute has been upgraded at a cost of Ksh1 billion and it now includes modern laboratories and technical workshops that will be crucial in training the people who will work on the SGR.

Lol Kenyans lie to much and raise their shoulders up for nothing.

Lol this is definitely the most developed city in east Africa. This things are naked eye test lol.

When next gtc wants to go high it should steal a page from Addis ananda on how aesthetically beautiful and advanced a skyline should look. Not those hideous tall bland gtc structures with limited acrylic painting ,zero architectural marvel and of course zero aesthetics.



Did I forget to add they have one of the most advanced light rail system In Africa. A look at Addis and you can tell the Chinese did well,but a look at Kenya and you weep cos you can smell hot mandarin Ponzi scheme choking your nostrils.
