It was Kenya vs SA however since Kenya only has one city worth mentioning that is why Nairobi is part of the conversation.

Your logic is eating you now.

And stop lying - the debate was all about Nairobi vs Joburg.

I even admitted that Kenya as a whole will take 50yrs to catch up with the current SA - but I came to notice that 50yrs is too much - so let's give it 20yrs - which makes more sense.

ok and? considering I just found out the PWC tower is 106m tall and also not listed could mean SA has easily over 60 maybe even 70 buildings over 100m

I also want you to list them

No it wasn't

Ethiopia and Somalia are very powerful nations. Political instability is killing those nations - the same case for Nigeria - with poor governance.

Ethiopia was doing very well in particular too bad the civil war broke out

If a zoo like Nigeria can overtake South Africa what about Kenya.. although when it comes to the zoo it's down to over breeding and high population

Kenya is a big zoo. The whole of kenya is not even up to the level of Lagos. Both in Gdp, entertainment, Money, Music, Development, movie, Tech, Richness etc. Go and compare your hopeless, useless zoo with the remaining zoos in the beast Africa. Hoodlum!

Really bru?? you have one city with skyscrapers... We have Joburg, CT, Pretoria, Durban, Bloem ect ect

We have over 50 buildings of 100m + you have 11....yet you are beating us?

In terms of what is Kenya going to catch SA?....we already know it ain't economy, can't be road network because we are at least 80 years(11th in the world), can't be rail because we are over a 100 years ahead there(13th in the world) , can't be airports(20th in the world), not see ports, can't be sporting infrastructure, definitely not catching our Universities, not catching our Health sector(especially private)

so you ain't catching our economy or infrastructure....so what exactly are you catching??

tylann:
No it wasn't

it really doesn't matter since Kenya itself has yet to reach Joburg in terms of development and barely outmatches it in terms of GDP

tylann:
Hiding behind South Africa
We will overtake the stagnanting South Africa economy

yes by 2100 due to sheer population growth....same reason Nigeria overtook SA

Shma:
Help me with the source... Especially from their ministry. I want to read.

And also, Kenya's economic growth has been consistent on a growth trajectory since time immemorial. We're now counting a decade with a +ve growth rate.

Also, don't compare Ethiopia with Kenya. Ethiopia has a history of colonial and political unrest, also, the refugee crisis should not be overlooked. Those are major challenges that are wreaking havoc in Ethiopia, and they won't end soon since some of the acts perpetrated there are intrinsic.

We will catch up soon; If all factors remain constant

Okay I'll check for the source again but I read it from their website around thesame time it happened in 2020.

tylann:
Kenya's GDP has grown mainly because of infrastructure development in the country

actually your population growth is a driving factor

Most profitable companies in Nigeria in first quarter ( Jan to March) 2022 and the profits they gained.

We have 3 cement companies in top ten and this has been the case since 2021. Construction in Nigeria is at another level.

Dangote Cement 183Bn
MTN. 179Bn
Seplat. 42Bn
BUA Cement. 42Bn
Nestle. 26Bn
Nigerian Brew. 24Bn
Lafrage. 22Bn
Dangote Sugar. 17Bn
Flour mills. 16Bn
Okomu oils. 14Bn

tylann:
From Nigeria
Anyway south Africa and Nigeria both have load shedding issues Kenya crossed that bridge in the nineties

South Africa has 85% electrification....Kenya - 70%

AfriqueDuZuid:
I_AM_MARWA already ridiculed Kenyans of their naiveness and lack of whatsoever.

He said kenyan will jubilate over a road to a extend of posting weekly updates of a particular road

Pls post the link to the video

Shma:

Mention them.

60 is not too many, just list them.

If it's too hard, list those in Joburg alone.

Thank you, allow him to shiver a little bit, cos he's spewing lies after lies.

Our road infrastructure is greatly improving compared with where we were 10 years
On seaports Mombasa is second only to Durban in subsaharan Africa and is undergoing major infrastructure makeover
I told you people ten years ago South Africa economy was 10times the size of kenya now it's only 3 times that should tell you something

jl115:

NOPE!

Just go on Wikipedia, there is already 59 listed there....then add PWC tower...that equals 60

Shma:
NOPE!

yes!!

jl115:

Nope our population growth is among the lowest in Africa that's not an excuse if it's population Tanzania could have overtook you already

jl115:

Not it's not why is Tanzania not closing the Gap.. it's pure infrastructure development and economic policies

South Africa has 85% electrification....Kenya - 70%

70% with no load shedding

And it was less than 30% ten years ago

Did I say population growth was the only factor?

You only mentioned population growth meaning it was your main factor..why didn't you mention infrastructure development
