no i dont think so. may be the truth is what you disagree

NairobiWalker:
Lol, so I posted buildings with over 20 floors and you're posting me buildings with over 12 floors and claiming you have more? Dude, I can't even list all buildings over 12 floors in Nairobi. There are some neighborhoods where all residential buildings are over 12 floors with no names. The fact that you can even list ALL buildings in Lagos with over 12 floors is testament how you have so few of them. Anyway I couldn't help but notice from your list you have only 10 complete buildings over 20 COMPLETE floors in comparison to Nairobi's 22 lol.

Buildings over 20 floors.

Nairobi - 22

Lagos - 10

am sorry but you know nothing about me an am not a Kid...an its called a space center NOT a space station dimwit ...i blame the quality of naija school education for this

shervydman:
Nigeria has about 130 universities, not counting polytechnics, colleges of education, tech and voc institutions and so on...which will make it more than 350.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_universities_in_Nigeria

Kenya on the other hand has about 50 unis and a lot of tech and voc institutions coupled with training schools and proprietary schools.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_universities_and_colleges_in_Kenya

remember... I didn't talk on numbers of training and proprietary schools in Nigeria which may make it up to 500.

now, deal with that and stop misinforming the hoi polloi....

Jay254:
I did'nt know Lagos had such few highrise... You cannot list all buildings above 12 flours in Nairobi...

Nigerians In Kenya should come out and for once be honest about this

vaxx:
we need to be careful the way we tell history. you cant blame europe for our underdevelopment. we need to blame ourselves for it. we have oil yet we do not have a working refinary. uk has a very low amount of oil yet he has working refinary that can hold the capacity of the seven largest oil producing country in the world. So tell me how shell ,chevron will not exploit nigeria.

we have cocoa yet we do not have a functionary industry that can process the cocoa into chocholate and pomade. cocoa can not even be nurse in the uk due to the enviroment yet they have the industry to process africa cocoa into chocholate and pomade. They buy it and resell it to us. Tell me again how will they not determine the cocoa price for our farmer. So many of it i cant type.

stop pointing fingers lets blame ourselves

You need to pull yourself together and stop crying,I can't stand wimpish men!You see why I thought you were a kid?I digress.Now,I meant space centre and not station,even a kid(don't cry,please) like you should know that.That facility belongs to a country called Italy and not to kenya.Do you want to argue that too?Maybe you should begin by telling the house why kenya has a space centre(Broglio Space Centre)since 1964 and does not have a single satellite(not even one the size of your head)in space. Meanwhile Nigeria has around 3 of such the only communication satellite from Africa belongs to?;guess it. You guessed right:NIGERIA.

shervydman:
oga, u cant list all buildings above 12 floors in lagos too......I've even checked emporis.

Nairobi and Lagos both have 6 skyscraper each that's including the two buildings u guys finished just recently.

the highest 20 buildings in Kenya ranges from 60m-200m while Nigeria ranges from 87m-160m.

TayserMahiri:
Can u give a list of each bro. You don't sound convincing

kikuyu1:
There were even JEWISH NAZIS!! This may be too much for some of you but we must learn to accommodate the truth.
They served from the highest level,one Erich Milch was Hitler's CGS, in all services. Do you think the Nazis didn't know,REALLLYYYY!!?
The last guy is SS Colonet Adolf Eichmann,kidnapped from Argentina in 1960 and allegedly hanged in Tel aviv. Supposedly,architect of the 'Final Solution.' Fyi,he was sent to Palestine to study Nazi plans for Jewish settlement!! He's so comically Jewish looking,with the typical mouth on the lower chin and that hooked nose you'd have to be blind not to ID him.
A book recently claimed at least 150k Jews fought for Germany.

Never believe anything;investigate everything!

DEFINITION

The term "skyscraper" was first applied to buildings of steel framed construction of at least 10 stories in the late 19th century, a result of public amazement at the tall buildings being built in major cities like Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Detroit, and St. Louis.[3] The first steel-frame skyscraper was the Home Insurance Building (originally 10 stories with a height of 42 m or 138 ft) in Chicago, Illinois in 1885. Some point to Philadelphia's 10-story Jayne Building (1849–50) as a proto-skyscraper, or to New York's seven-floor Equitable Life Building (New York City), built in 1870, for its innovative use of a kind of skeletal frame, but such designation depends largely on what factors are chosen. Even the scholars making the argument find it to be purely academic......

The Emporis Standards Committee defines a high-rise building as "a multi-story structure between 35–100 meters tall, or a building of unknown height from 12–39 floors" and a skyscraper as "a multi-story building whose architectural height is at least 100 m or 330 ft. Some structural engineers define a highrise as any vertical construction for which wind is a more significant load factor than earthquake or weight. Note that this criterion fits not only high-rises but some other tall structures, such as towers.

The word skyscraper often carries a connotation of pride and achievement. The skyscraper, in name and social function, is a modern expression of the age-old symbol of the world center or axis mundi: a pillar that connects earth to heaven and the four compass directions to one another.[8]

A loose convention of some in the United States and Europe draws the lower limit of a skyscraper at 150 m or 490 ft.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyscraper

Bhuuuhahaha! Based on the first @bolded

Lagos has 8 skyscrapers completed than the whole of Kenya. Sorry

With about 10 skyscrapers with the minimum height of 100m under construction.


DEFINITION OF HIGHRISE

Various bodies have defined "high-rise":


Emporis Standards defines a high-rise as "A multi-story structure between 35–100 meters tall, or a building of unknown height from 12–39 floors."

According to the building code of Hyderabad, India, a high-rise building is one with four floors or more, or 15 to 18 meters or more in height...
The International Conference on Fire Safety in High-Rise Buildings defined a high-rise as "any structure where the height can have a serious impact...
In the U.S., the National Fire Protection Association defines a high-rise as being higher than 75 feet (23 meters), or about 7 stories.[5]
Most building engineers, inspectors, architects and similar professionals define a high-rise as a building that is at least 75 feet (23 m) tall.[citation needed]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_block



Based on the definition @bolded, Lagos has more highrise than the whole of Kenya. While Abuja and Port Harcourt has more than Mombasa. sorry

123 Highrises (completed and underconstruction)

Please, note that I didn't add 8 completed skyscrapers and the 10 underconstruction. They are all above 20 floors and 100m.

You were poor in history. The germans had a few colonies in Africa

Muafrika2:
I think its the babies who have grown bigger. Before modernity, women had special diets that kept the weight of the baby in check. Now doctors are recommending the opposite. Even those who do not get a CS nowadays still get a cut to make more space for birth.

TayserMahiri:
These are the kinds of stories that are proudly only from Africa. So nigeria has three satellites whooshing in space but not world class equiped hospitals? Satellites in space but innocent girls spend months/years in the hands of a terror group? Satellites in space but power problems? Look, am not being a hater but instead of sending satellites to space the government could have at least built a refinery.

shervydman:
ok.......do a quick research

https://www.emporis.com/statistics/tallest-buildings

u can check as many countries as u want.

shervydman:
oga, u cant list all buildings above 12 floors in lagos too......I've even checked emporis.

They have already been listed by a nigerian

shervydman:
see, Nigeria is not a small country that will embark on projects one after the other or start a project and halt another cos of funds or whatever.

Nigeria is currently working on the world largest single refinery, electricity generation of close to 6000mw which will make Nigeria boast of about 11000mw and so on all at a time. I cant even start to mention.

btw... don't even talk as if Kenya enjoy 24/7 electricity supply btw.

Starbuck's is an American company.It is a Fortune 500 company and it sells processed coffee in cups and satchets.Yet America does not produce coffee.

NairobiWalker:
How did I misinform anyone? Your Naija brother says Nigeria has 200 universities and you don't ask him to stop misinforming people and I say Kenya has 51 universities (all ranked) and that is misinformation?

Nigeria has 115 universities buddy......see

http://www.4icu.org/ng/

Kenya has 51.....see....

http://www.4icu.org/ng/

And while your country of over 180 million people boasts for having 350 tech and vocational institutions, tiny Kenya with 45 million people has 540 of them.

TayserMahiri:
What am saying is that Nigeria should have done what you're saying back then and be sending satellites now. That is a catastrophic misplacement of priorities.
