Westlands is growing. This highrise building will be a face make-up in Accra.

I like how you like to compare your country to Ghana...

Nairobi will keep trailing

Not Some empty apartment somewhere

vankelvin:
As if South Africa would have done anything better. Abeg feel free and support all our opponents, loser

cry baby!
See how you're crying river nile cos you lose a match that everybody knows you're not going to win anyways.
It's injustice to but that terrible reefer decision against the south Africans is spot on.
Goes to show how simple minded most of are.

This must be 2nd apartment in entire of Ghana. Where do you surely put all the mineral money

Dwarf step indeed.
A mere single block of 11fls with a useless render.
Look at this single structure again. It can form a new Accra.

Anytime I'm interested in Black Stars match I come to nairaland to make my predictions but I forsaw this coming hence my silence before the match.
One thing you don't know is whenever our President comments or visits Black Stars in camp we lose so the moment I heard he's gone to Qatar I knew we would loss the match.

You on the other hand know very well South Africa would never have qualified ahead of Nigeria to World cup but here you are talking trash as if South Africa would have played any better

from the the housing data, Ghana has more more housing than you country... That's were we put our money.

That should as well tell you that there are more apartment here that your country.. you'll find them in every region where but they are not the dominant form of housing

Build on this skill and then we can talk , if you know what almost 500 sq km of Beautiful neighborhoods look like and not those slum scrappers you guys live in and call estates. Suburban

To the idiot who said we should not throw the narrative of being robbed.
This is a statement from retired English referee.


“The VAR, in my opinion, should have gotten involved, should’ve invited the referee over to have a look at it,” Mike Dean, has questioned the officiating in Ghana’s 3-2 defeat to Portugal in the 2022 World Cup on Thursday. American referee, Ismail Elfath, penalized Mohammed Salisu for the least contact with Cristiano Ronaldo to award the two-time World Cup semi-finalists a penalty.
Mike Dean believes Elfath should have been invited to review the incident at the pitch side Video Assistant Referee (VAR) monitor, but that was not done. He continued, “I like to back referees all the time, but you can’t support stuff like that. You can’t defend the undefendable. “For me, it should’ve been overturned, he should’ve gone to the screen…100% it was wrong.”

Really? If housing is plenty in Ghana why is everyone asked to pay a year's advance in rent? Don't you understand the simple complexities of demand and supply? Don't answer, I know you don't!

You lost. Football has no appeal mechanism. The last whistle ended the game. You focus on the next game or next world cup. The usual cries. Focus on what you could have DONE better. Things within your control.

At least Senegal has become the 1st African team to win a game -- against the hapless host. 2-Nil so far. The African team mental or psychological block continues. It can only be dealt by team focusing on their players mentality.

The house advance rent payment option only happens in Urban area and because Ghana is quickly urbanizing, there is much more demanding in the central urban where there is major commercial activity hence the demand from the greedy landlord .in the north for instance , even sheep's and cow sleep in a big room , too much empty house. People are really moving to much more urbanized area. And it is on record Ghana is more urbanized than kenya .

Qatar is a walkover for any serious team . A brilliant performance for senegal anyway.

Ghana is not urbanizing faster than Kenya. It urbanized long time ago. It prematurely urbanized creating slumpolis. Houses for rent, AirBnb, and any decent housing is expensive because there is no supply of decent housing. Almost everyone in Ghana just buys or get a plot - and build their own ramshackle without water or sewage - or even metered power. The main rentals available are normally corner or extension of the main houses.

Problems
1) Premature Urbanization - 50% plus urbanization at your stage of under-development is not good - half of those people should be in their villages digging or tending to goats.

2) Informal housing created sprawling slumpolis without decent formal housing sector.

Quick solution - stem any further urbanization and even reverse if possible - by making sure rural development happens - and most important start to formalize housing sector.

Let big insurances, pensions, real estate firms and others build huge uniform standard housing that are affordable to Ghanians - who should get very cheap mortagages. This is what Kenya is now doing. Someone from university should after 1-2yrs be able to get cheap mortagage - and be on rent to own.

Not every tom, dick and harry building their own thing.

whatever that rocks your boat, the fact remains that Ghana play a very wonderful football. Any good coach will tell you that . Our performance was at best but not enough. The earlier penalty sent a bad signal , demoralized the players but wasn't enough to stop them from firing a good two shot in. That is awesome . Our remaining two match will be beautiful as well.

Nobody cares about beauty or wonderful. They want to win. I want you to address the weakness in the team. The team lost. You should devise a WIN despite and inspite of any rigging/unfairness. That basically mean NO EXCUSES. The press and Ghanians should not push that theory of we were stolen. They should tell Ghanian footballers they DISAPPOINTED. THEY FAILED. THEY LEAKED THREE GOALS in a world cup match. THEY SUCKED. THEY WERE BEATEN. THEY CAME OUT WITH ZERO POINT.

Now on the next game - they work on the weakness

The fact that Ghana is more developed than Kenya in every sector should give you an idea why we are more urbanized with commercialization in every community.
Ghana has 86% access to water... If you had said streets paving delaying, I would have agreed with you but not water and sewage, those things even get done before lands are sold and before houses are completed and so does drainages.


Your point 2 rant is just another rant all because Ghana managed to create beautiful communities with proper housing in it suburban towns where majority of the people choose to live because they are well to do.

Packing people in tin cans in Nairobi is abnormal, atleast there should be some kind of standard and not those nasty Soviet blocks.

The rate of urbanization or optimal urbanization has nothing to do with Kenya. Look at China - it just got to 50 percent. Look at other countries.

Ghana, Nigeria, DRC and many Africa countries have a pre-mature urbanization that created sprawling slums.

Most of Ghana cities - including Accra and Kumasi - quick picture test - SLUMS - entire city is almost a slum to me.

Urbanization should go in tandem with Industrialization/Formalization.

You cannot cram people in cities without opportunities, infrastructure to move them quickly, sewage, water and all critical infra.

They are better off in the villages. Make the villages work for them. At least the poor can grow their own food - and live cheaply.

Does this look like a sprawling slum to your glaucoma filled eye or it look like a well built community? That is what 80% of Accra and Kumasi communities look like. SUBURBAN Proper living.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdPrhsQvorg

Isn't that a reason why you can't post 90% of Nairobi? The shame of how slummy most part are is the reason why you can't post.

If you want, we can go community by community with videos , I have video of every community in Accra.


There is a reason why Your country comes out as the country with the largest slum population in Africa and there's also a reason why it is largely a village.

We have the infrastructure to move them quickly and that is why it is possible for them to live in their suburban dreams and be able to relax..

Obviously they are better off in cities and the outcomes of their lives is obvious enough... Good living, more cars ownership than Kenyans, more beautiful properties than Kenyans can afford.

Mad cow.

95% of Accra is slum. 5% is East Legon/Airport

Nairobi 95% of Nairobi land mass is great. 5% of land mass are occuppied by slums - majority illegally built in public land - river basins and forest edges - with people parked like crazy.

All the slum dwellers are victim of rural-urban migration - who arrive to find no formal jobs - that can sustain urban living - and should ideally be in rural areas farming if farming was profitable, good schools available, security and etc . It cheaper for gov to fix agricluture - and keep these people in their farms.

As for Nairobi versus any West Africa city - no contest

You can never really have a Nairobi versus Ghana picture or video contest.

It just not possible - unless you're a mad Ghanian

shut up, Any good report study will tell you straight, Ghana is well urbanized than kenya, and currently, Accra is the fastest growing africa city follow closely by ibadan( Nigeria). Houses are charged based on the area of location, there is value for property here. And you can quickly roll up your investment here particularly in real estate. The real reason almost every rich men are diverting into the business now. And again, Ghanaian are free minded people, we love our own privacy. everybody want to become a landlord , hence the reason for different types of structure.With govt control area( they are law,) for example, bungalows aren't allowed to be build in airport city. Both 1 and 2. And by kind of fortune, Ghana recognised free own land and customary land, therefore we buy and build according to our Will. people can build a storey building and later add to it in a later year when they have the financial strength. So, it is common to see a single room turning into two or full bedroom flat. The owner gradually add to the building as he or she can provide financially.

Giving institutions the option to build property will only birth problems, there will be lot of homeless people as many people will not be able to afford the kind of property a business venture like that has in stocks, or be able to finance it. Unless the rich only . And with a mortgage, it is really nice to be debt free, you can actually sleep well at night. We are not copying blindly.

I dont dispute that Ghana is more Urbanized than Kenya. I dispute if that is a good thing. You study a little bit about premature urbanization and see why you've turn you cities into huge slumpolis. Kenya itself should not be at 25-30 percent with half the resident living in urban squalor - we should ideally only have 15 percent of people living in urban areas - and rest in rural areas.

How do we stop premature urbanization - Kagame in Rwanda forcefully send back people to rural areas - Mugabe in Zimbwabwe destroyed slums in Harare - and declare Zim a country of no slums.Somewhere like Kinshasasa is like 95% slum shanties - majority just escaping because of security and total lack of infrastructure in rural DRC.

As for Ghana - most of Accra for example should be declare unfit for human settlement - destroyed and rebuilt properly.

Mugabe flatten the slums - which was a radical move - but rural-urban migration must be in tandem with formalization of the economy to create urban jobs - otherwise the results is rural immigrants will create slums and it's attendant problems

A UN investigation yesterday denounced Robert Mugabe's slum clearance operation, which has left hundreds of thousands of people homeless, as a "catastrophe" that violated international law.

The UN's 98-page report concluded that 2.4 million people had been affected, of whom 700,000 had lost their homes or livelihoods or both, in a humanitarian crisis of "immense proportions".

Now on the next game - they work on the weakness

You are a dunce. So because I must point out black star weakness ,I need to hide out the corruption meted out against them ? What a porous thinking? Portugal won but they won poorly . We loose but we loose galantly. That is the difference. In football, scoring goal is the most important aspect . We scored but we couldn't outscored our opponent. If at the end , we share same points with other team in the group (quite common), they will take the goals we score and the goals we received into account.so our two goals are not waste. Mr idiot .

You lost. When will you learn not to equivocate every world cup. This is sickening attitude that explain why Africa never reaches it's potential. One or two decisions cannot explain 3 goals you leaked. You lost...repeat 10 times. Every world cup - we were robbed - referee did this - ohoo racism. One can never run out of excuses when you start.

Then make your players and coach understand they lost - and work on winning. You have one more game - and it's over. You lose the next game - as always you're back to Africa on the next available flight.

Actually you're the bottom of group H. Your next game is a must win.

Every part of Accra look like that, superb residential communities baring the 4 slums.

You don't need to rant madly, let's stick to facts.
We all know what 80% of nairobians live in, what you already know to be slum scrappers... Only a few people live in organized and nice communities which are just a few estates.

There's a reason why Nairobi doesn't come close to most West African cities in development even the power consumption alone is enough to tell you why.

If you're bold enough, you wouldn't have wasted 7 years here posting only parkland, Westland, upper hill, *Karen and *runda
