All I see is slums everywhere in the pics you posted. Look around the pics very well. We even have the video.

Ajegunle, bariga, badia etc are not slums. They have bad sanitation and old building's. The are not even poor people like those in Kibera.

Pavore9:
There is no blanket answer to that as it depends on who you ask. Personally, Nairobi favours me because of what am into as l have more access to opportunities because it is a hub when it comes to what am into.

I live with a certain measure of certainty as l take so many things here for granted. My stay in Nairobi also favours some relatives back in Lagos as l use my local contacts to help them market products that are local to Nigerians but yield more when sold in Kenya as there are stuffs that sells locally for N500 but sells easily for $18 in Nairobi and it is no big deal to the buyers.

There are many Nigerians coming over for studies as one can get a bachelors degree in 2 yrs 8months and after graduation, can relocate to other parts of the world easily and legally (if you know your way)

There are aspects of the Nigerian life, l will never exchange for anything because it keeps one grounded.

It is not about competition but we should have an open mind to benefit from each other as a lot of stuffs l shared in the Agric section, l picked up from Kenyans who were willing to share knowledge just as l have shared with some Kenyans how to achieve better results applying the Nigerian way of doing them.

NairobiWalker:
You must be having very high standards for Kenya yet no standards at all for Nigeria. That's a compliment to Kenya you know?

......from what you guys are saying, bad sanitation and crappy buildings is a very normal thing to you that you you don't consider such conditions to be slums.

NairobiWalker:
Thank you. Here comes a Nigerian who's actually lived in Kenya.

iblawi:
What makes the buildings crappy? They are old buildings that's all.

Go check out the meaning of slum first.

iblawi:
And did he tell you Nairobi is better than Lagos?

He's only explaining how he his benefiting from Nairobi.

Funny you run degree programs in 2 years and 8 month s.

NairobiWalker:
A slum is a heavily populated urban informal settlement characterized by substandard housing and squalor. While slums differ in size and other characteristics, most lack reliable sanitation services, supply of clean water, reliable electricity.

From the definition above, Ajegunle is even more of a slum than Kibera - Kibera has a constant supply of electricity.

"Ajegunle is even more of a slum than Kibera" hahahahahah mad man no where in Africa is worst than kibera and mathare

ianSweet:
I think all these Kenyans here PissedYagami, NairobiWalker e.t.c here are the biggest loosers in the world.
How can a capital city have these kinds of places? Not just one slum, not two, but dozens of them. Is there a government in that country at all?

PissedYagami:
Yeah, see all the nice estates near it. Effing hater

Are you mad to say a place with 2.5 square kilometres With population of over 500000 people is a small place ,also, mathare is 401 sq km as well

PissedYagami:
I am ssure you cant see such amazing isht in Nigeria,

nigga all your pictures resolve round CBD AND UPPER HILL ALONE....

plus don't forget that mathare is even larger than kibera "Mathare valley slums are located in an old quarry 2km long and 300m wide. This shanty village is 5 km (3.2 miles) from Nairobi city centre, the capital of Kenya. 600,000 people live in this area in very poor conditions.The oldest slum in Nairobi, the slum is divided under three administrative areas namely Mabatini, Mathare and Roy Sambu Locations. It has further been divided in small units called areas e.g. Area 1(Kiamotesia) Area 2(Kiandururu), 3C (Bondeni) 4B (Gitathuru) and 4A (Koria/Mradi). Being cosmopolitan area different ethnic groups would be found more in one particular area. "

600k people aint small at all, that is the population of some small countries

a wordpress link.
Kibera is the largest slum at 2.5km². And the government found out that there are 170k people there during the census.
Mathare valley slums are located in an old quarry 2km long and 300m wide . Do your math. Is that 401sq km to you?? Others are waaaaaaaaaay smaller.
See how salty you are, trying to inflate the figures

NairobiWalker:
Nairobi minus Nairobi National Park, Ngong Forest and Karura Forest is about 400 sq. km. According to this dude the whole of Nairobi is Mathare. He is either a madman or his hatred for Kenya is psychological. I don't know what really happened to him but he must have gone through some bad shit in Kenya - and I mean some REALLY bad shit - like someone sodomized him in Kenya or something.

Mathare is a collection of slums in Nairobi, Kenya with a population of approximately 500,000 people; the population of Mathare Valley alone, the oldest of the slums that make up Mathare, is 180,000 people. Mathare is the home of football team Mathare United of the MYSA.

mathare slum (over 500000 people )

Kawangware slum (300000 people )
According to the 2009 Kenya Population and Housing Census, Kawangware's population [color=#550000]was 133,286 people at this time[/color]. It is estimated that 65% of the population are children and youths. Most inhabitants live on less than $1 (although they earn in shillings) a day and unemployment is high; many are self-employed traders. There is a diversity of ethnic backgrounds

Mukuru (bigger than kibera what!!!!! ) kenya is shit i swear !!!!!

Mukuru is one of the biggest slum in Nairobi, its estimated to be habitat of about 700,000 people in the different village in the slums, it stretches along the Nairobi Ngong river, situated on waste lands in the industrial area of the city between the Outer Ring Road and the North Airport Road and mombasa road, in three different constituencies Embakasi south, Makadara and Starehe constituencies. Mukuru have villages Mukuru kwa Reuben, Mukuru kwa Njenga, Sinai, Paradise, Jamaica, Kingstone, Mariguini, Futata Nyayo and Kayaba.

Korogocho

Korogocho is one of the largest slum neighbourhoods of Nairobi, Kenya. Home to 150,000 to 200,000 people pressed into 1.5 square kilometres, northeast of the city centre, Korogocho was founded as a shanty town on the then outskirts of the city.[1][2]

In 2009 it was estimated to be the fourth largest slum in Nairobi, after Kibera, Mathare Valley and Mukuru kwa Njenga.

calculation: Korogocho (200000)+Mukuru (500000)+Kawangware(300000)+mathare (600000)+ kibera(600000)+Kiambiu(60000)+others{Huruma,Majengo, Matopeni,Pumwani,Nyalenda........(740000= 3millions people leaving ins slums

3.millions(slums dwellers -Total population (3.36 million)= 336000 out of slums

conclution : 92% of poulation leaves in slums while only 8% leaves moderately ...wow

last picture mathare slums world 5th biggest slum (http://www.the-star.co.ke/sites/default/files/styles/new_full_content/public/articles/2016/10/17/1196919.jpg?itok=eTnZslqj)

Nairobi is nothing but a waste! What a terrible city and a disaster where the overwhelming majority live in slums.

Infact i really think we Nigerians have insulted ourselves so much for stooping to argue with these Kenyans.
Apart from the millions of people living in Nairobi slums, millions more live in forests and wildlife parks away from civilisation, just like the masais who drink animal blood in the forests till date.
Kenya is just too disgustingly terrible.

NairobiWalker:
You mean those places are better than Kibera in photo below? Girl, you're very useless. Look at Kibera below and compare it with your Ajegunle

iblawi:
Compare Ajegunle (pictures 1&2) with kibera (picture 3&4)
Then answer then reframe your last statement.

ianSweet:
Once an animal blood drinker always a blood drinker.

So that is how Kibera looks and it is officially the largest slum in Africa? and it also attracts so many foreigners, foreign aids and humanitarian groups and even tourists?

Well, let me agree that the whole of Kibera looks like this for the sake that am talking to an animal vampire. What abt Mathare, Mukuru, Kawangware, Kogorocho and others?

Go and do what you do best. 'Animal vampire-ism'. U little savage.

PissedYagami:
Those are Maasais, not every Kenyan. i am sure you are intelligent enough to understand that Hausas dont represent Nigeria as a whole

PissedYagami:
Slums occupy 6% of the landmass, and serious overcrowding. 94% of Nairobi is not a slum. Lagos has no beauty of any sort. Some old worn out cbd. And very shitty neighbourhoods
