Hi

Alaro has reached a mile stone of 100 businesses.

Does anyone here have experience with PTDF? I’m interested in the Advanced Mineral Development master’s program. ChatGPT suggested it, but on closer inspection, the program runs in three countries, and only one is in Freiberg, Germany. How does PTDF work? Does the whole program need to be completed just one University in a partner country for it to be valid?

[quote author=PROVERBZ post=134064987][/quote]It wasn’t Nova pioneer. It’s a British school called Wellington.
Nova piooner would probably be located in Lekki.

The second education plot at Alaro city would be Canadian maple academy. It hasn’t been announced yet, but I got a little intel.

What makes you think Kenyans are competing with Nigeria? We are on the opposite sides of the continent. All can succeed without silly comparisons.

Are u one of rhe tenants of the poorly constructed houses by kikuyu landlords around Tatu city?
Incase u didn't realize this is a d*ck measuring thread.

AkoniMoipei:
Wrong again, as usual. Actually, out of all cities mentioned the only one that cannot fail is Northlands city because of who backs it - The Kenyatta Family. This is their baby and they are stopping at nothing to ensure it is the best planned, most advanced city in Kenya. The city comes with its own runway, the Nairobi Gate Industrial Park, and will be hosting multinationals, including UN bodies. The purely industrial zone is already operational with a fully integrated Customs Control Area (CCA) for seamless incorporated customs control - the first in EA. What I'm basically telling you is if you are banking on any project to fail this is definitely not one of them.

No doubt Alaro is slumbering along at snail's pace but she has a long way to go. COVID did not stop the construction industry anywhere, in Kenya things continued being built while adhering to mask mandates. We literally built dams and other mega infrastructures during COVID because of eased logistics with the minimal traffic. Nairobi expressway for instance was built from 2020-2022. Was Alaro a unique case? I dont know where you dug the figure 80 from because I quoted 70, which is a figure accessible directly from Tatu City's website https://www.tatucity.com/now-selling/tatu-industrial-park/

And stop lying, Alaro has only 59 businesses https://www.alarocity.com/why-choose-alaro-city/

Where are you digging these figures from? The actual websites of both cities give all this information. Are you more up-to-date than them?

As for Konza, you just need to shut up and wait for me to kill you with more pictures in the days to come. This is not Eko Atlantic! Btw, photos below are for Northlands city/Nairobi gate industrial park. The city itself is coming up furiously I can share more photos if you wish.

Actually, If tatu city is still at 70, that would mean that Alaro city has surpassed it.
The information on Alaro city website is outdated. Alaro city is currently at over 80 industries. Confirmations of this was made in one of the recent press briefings at a tour the lagos state governor made to Alaro city. Plus, I also attached a post from Alaro city on instagram over 5weeks ago where it was stated that the number of industries then was at 79.


To be fair, the info at Tatu website is also outdated because I watched a very recent press briefing from the owners and it was also at 80 just like Alaro city.

What this means is that the appetite for Alaro city is much more than that of Tatu. But that was to be expected. The surrounding infrastructure of Alaro city includes an over 1billion usd airport, a 20billion refienry and a 1.5 billion seaport. Where as, the surrounding infrastructure at Tatu is a coffee fam and some poorly constructed houses by kukuyi land lords.

Purosangue:
what's the total cost to build eko Atlantic

horizontal infrastructure alone was taunted to be 2billion when it was first announced. As a result of inflation. And other things, I am sure this cost esteemed is wrong.
Mind you, this does not include cost of the builidngs. The cost only covers bridges, water, roads electricity etc.

AkoniMoipei:
At least we finally get to see a proper aerial. Alaro is trying but is lagging behind his mates Konza and Tatu City which are no longer in this league in terms of space take up. The industrial zone of Tatu city is already at over 70 companies set up or in their final touches. Alaro will soon be overtaken by the new Northlands city which is coming up super fast.

Northlands City, Kenya

▪️This is an ambitious real estate project being set up in an 11,576 Hectares of Land in Ruiru, near Nairobi-Kenya (about 20 KMs from Nairobi)

▪️For context purpose, 11,576 Acres is equivalent to about 47 Sq.KMs (this is nearly equivalent to Roysambu Constituency in Nairobi or more than double Alaro city)

▪️That is, when completed, the Northlands City by area will be equivalent to the famous Roysambu Constituency where many Nigerians set in but never leave once they do

▪️The City is a mixed-use estate comprising residential, industrial, and commercial units

▪️Based on the City's Master Plan, about 3,570 Acres have been set aside for housing; of which,

3,134 Acres are set aside for low density housing

306 acres for high density housing

130 acres for medium density residential housing

▪️The City is planned to house 250,000 people; and assuming its a stand alone City, it would currently be the 9th largest in Kenya by population

▪️Besides the housing, the City is expected to have a Business District sitting on 390 acres of land

▪️Of the above 390 acres, 33 acres are earmarked for a shopping mall and a hotel and 2 acres for a clubhouse

▪️An additional 695 acres have been set aside for construction of an industrial park

▪️The plan for the City is being implemented over 4 phases that will run for nearly 50 years

▪️The Northlands City is currently under progress with some infrastructure underway

▪️The land where the city is being set up is owned by the Kenyatta Family and is currently occupied by Brookside, and Gicheha Farm

I don't know what you mean by 'lagging behind.'
For context, Àlaro city was launched In late 2019 and went on break for a year due to covid while Tatu city started in 2012 and konza was launched in 2013.

Tatu city does not have 80 industries set up, it has 80 industries registered which is exactly the same number Alaro has courtesy of their website.
Tatu city has more industries with actual physical structures up only because it outdates Alaro, which is to be expected.

Konza city is a pipe dream. They have only built roughly a couple kilometers of horizontal structures and a couple of cheap buildings since 2013. It's not exactly the utopia it was advertised as. If they keep on building the types of building they are currentlyn putting up, even Tatu city would be a much better city than Konza.

Northlands is a joke. U already know that one would fail because it's a glorified residential estate and not a city.

Here is a better video of Alaro for you to enjoy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZKcjKbxsI0?si=fcS_2kf0KX687nrH

Looks like seyi tinubus' loatsad promo media has started tconstruxting their wear house at alaro city.



Look carefully and u would see were some steal structures were put up.

There's also Appolonia city in Ghana. They should post progress images and stop complaining about USAID.

Appolonia city is not doing great because of ire location. The prices of buy and build at appolobia are as low as 45000 for quarter acre while at Alaro it costs 135000 for the exclusive Didara water ridge plot.

The next big city After Tatu and Alaro city for rendevour is actually kiswishi in congo.
The rest as just cheap. Eg at zuri springs and Oakland they do not plan to pave the roads.

AkoniMoipei:
Can we get some images of the significant construction in the industrial area?

Sure.
Alaro city as of o October 2024

AkoniMoipei:
Can we get more images of the developments in Alaro City? Any aerials?

It's hard to get an areal view that spans the whole project. But I have this really Bice one that shows the commercial boulevard and residential.
Both the commercial and residential are still new unlike the industrial which has seen significant construction.

I did point out the growing trend of world class schools being built in Nigeria recently. The traditional schools were good but there had to be investments in world class infrastructure which they didn't have. This new school are comparable to the best schools anywhere in the world.

It has just been announced that the new world class school at Eko atlantic belongs to Rugby school, another UK group.
The trends keeps going as this year, Alaro city Is poised ro announce at least 2 world class schools and let's not forget Nova pioneer in lekki.

[quote/]New world class school set to be announced at Alaro city as one of the education plots at the project gets cleared.
I have a feeling it's going to be Nova piooner group since they have a pre existing relationship with the Rendevour group and they also announced plans to venture into Nigeria and Ghana. I'm a bit skeptical though because I have seen the owner hint that the school would be in lekki, at one of the plots he checked out in 2019. If it's the Nova piooner group, that would make it two schools for them in Lagos. But if it's not, then it's probably another group. Both ways, it's a win for lagos...[quote/]

AkoniMoipei:
You have it backwards, or is it upside down? Eko Atlantic and Konza City are on opposite sides of the spectrum. Eko Atlantic's main purpose was to solve the chronic shortage of real estate in Lagos. On the contrary Konza City is intended to be a technology hub. Both of those cities are geared toward very different purposes. The other difference is that Konza City is wholly GoK-owned while Eko Atlantic is owned by private entities working in strategic partnership with the Lagos State Government and to a lesser extent the Federal Government of Nigeria.

At Konza, there is no individual ownership of land, the govt through the Konza Development Authority sets the prices of land. Land is leased for specific uses as outlined in the master plan. The size of land parcels varies depending on the planned use. Since there is no individual ownership of land, there is no cost related to purchasing land. The question of cost therefore flies out the window. You are thinking of Konza city in Eko Atlantic terms, thats why you are so wrong. How many investors have invested or shown interest in investing in Eko? Just a handful, less than 5 I think, including a church! At Konza as at 27th Jan 2025 there are so far over 140 investors and $1.2 billion in investments fully committed. https://itweb.africa/content/lLn147mQYPA7J6Aa

Real estate itself is going to be very cheap because all you need to do as an investor is lease the land at cheap prices then proceed to construct your apartment. Due to this factor, all units within the Konza housing scheme will be offered below market rent rates while staying undifferentiated from market housing. Phase 2 of the project which recently kicked of in earnest will feature housing (Phase 1 did not because it entailed horizontal infrastructure) and thats when we will be here to remind you that Konza is not Eko Atlantic's mate in any shape or form. Give it a max 2-3 years. The likes of Qwetu hostels, a major accommodation brand in Kenya are planning major works at Konza.

https://konza.go.ke/project/horizontal-infrastructure-for-phase-1-konza-technopolis/

I am going to hold your hand when I say this, 'you have it all wrong.' Just like in Eko Atlantic and everywhere else, land is owned by the government. However, private individuals can lease for 100 years which is what we refer to when we say buy!!

Secondly, Eko atlantic is mixed use. What this means is that it was carefully thought about and land allocated for all kinds of activities including finance, real estate, education, tourism, relaxation and lastly, technology.

Thirdly, all the lands at Eko atlantic currently, have been purchased with more than 30 buildings in progress including the biggest United States embassy. This is why the fourth stage which included reclamation of more land just started. This is not the case for konza. I have not seen any news of a large tech or local tech company purchase land over there. Co sidering this was the main purpose, it's kind of failing.

Baller254:
because Kenyans are poor?
konza and tatu city look like they are doing great compared to eko and alaro city

Tatu is feasible, howeve, Konza is not. U can get house for 40k usd in Tatu and Alaro city and even then it is still out of reach of most in africa. This statement is according to the ceo stephen Jennings when he was talking about Tatu city. Eko atlantic and Konza on the other hand, are ambitious. U would not be able to get an apartment for anything less than 1million usd. The people at Eko atlantic have realized this and are now targeting the extra wealthy diaspora who are buying this properties for long time. The people at konza, howeve, have not even started. They will meet the same stumbling block.

Lastly, konza would need more than just 1 19 century looking building to be ahead of Eko atlantic.
Eko atlantic, has Over 30 buildings in various levels of construion, including a mall and school.

Baller254:
more

Now comes the hard part. Getting people to build here considering most kenyans would not be able r afford the houses.

Who else has noticed this new trend in world class secondary and primary schools being built in Lagos.

First it was james hope college then chater house and immediately the investors at eko atlantic started theirs. I hope the investors turn their eyes into building world class universities like this too


This is the best school infrastructure wise in Africa. An investment of 150million euros. May be when the eko atlantic school is done we can come back to that title.

AkoniMoipei:
I'm surprised at how obsessed you are with Kenya and Tatu City/Konza City. Maybe you should move. Kenya is the third largest entertainment economy in Africa after Nigeria and SA. Kenyans generally love Jamaican, Nigerian, SA, and American music. That doesnt mean we have no local entertainment industry. Other than the two aforementioned countries, no country in Africa beats Kenya on music/entertainment. Not even the hapless Tanzanian entertainment industry comes close. As for the CHAN, I dont even know why that championship exists. We can do with Afcon. That aside, we decided to do a complete overhaul of the existing stadia and build one from scratch in readiness for Afcon. CHAN is a trash competition we have no time for, the continent should move on. The fact that Motsepe is more than happy to have the tournament moved to August should tell you he also knows its a useless competition meant for DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion).

Kasarani Stadium is nearly complete with a new roof, new seats, and new modern grass. Nyayo stadium is ready. Talanta Stadium which is being built from scratch is a long way off to be complete Dec 2025. Its meant for football and Rugby so that we can be hosting HSBC series on quality grounds. We have been having a conversation on stadia management in the country and I believe in due time we should be having proper stadia management. Atm our stadia are poorly run. Thats one of our unusually rare weaknesses when it comes to sports.

Don't be surprised. I am obsessed with those types of content on the African continent. If there is a new city being built in africa, u can bet that I watch all the video about it in hopes of learning a couple of things. I do hope to build a small town/city in my modest city of Jos, plateau state, but that would be in a very far future😆.

Talking about kenya and entertainment, Kenya might be 3rd on the rankings u mentioned because the metric for ranking them was consumption and not production which was what I was trying to point out. It's a known fact that the Tanzanian entertainment industry beats Kenyan.
I do hope that some of these new cities like Tatu can help solve some of the problem the entertainment industry is facing over there. Kenya should not be ignoring this sector because there is alot of money In it, trust me. I know Kenyans have the talent because I really enjoyed MTV sugar. It's first season was in Kenya before they moved to Nollywood.

Lastly, Chan is not a trash tournament. Chan is a wonderful tournament that was supposed to expose young African players playng in africa to the world stage. Imagine a young player from the tournaments goes on to make it big and he recalls that it all began there in Kenya where he represented his country and was scouted by top agents.

Kenya has failed to host this tournament two times now, its kind of embarrassing even if it's a small tournament. I hope the new policies about stadium management works out.

Check out this huge logistics park in Alaro city.

What's going on?
If you guys fail to pull off in August Tanzania and Uganda will slaughter you all

a couple of years ago, hosting rights to host this same tournament was stripped from them because they were not prepared.

Tatu City, Kenya


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi5WqFa7dHs

Seriously, what is wrong with the entertainment industry in Kenya? I saw a video of the vibrant community at Tatu city and I started binge watching videos of Tatu city on social media. All the videos I saw had Nigerian music in the background. Kenya looks like a good country development wise and it has a good population, I wonder why the entertainment(movies/music and sports) industry there is so poor.
This is the second time they cannot afford to host chan competition on time.

Qasim6:
The Qur'an does not describe Alexander the Great as a devout Muslim. The reason some think Dhul qurnayn in chapter 18 of the Qur'an is Alexander the Great is because there are stories about Alexander the Great that seem very similar to the story of Dhul qurnayn. But the Qur'an story of Dhul qurnayn predate that particular story of Alexander the Great. So it is most likely the author of the story of Alexander the Great borrowed from the Qur'an and not the other way round.

I don't know where you get the idea that Muslims destroyed or have to destroy the families and properties of people that don't follow Abrahamic faith.
Our belief as a Muslim is that God sent different prophet to different people at different times, not Just prophets that stem out of Abraham. We believe there are other prophets that are not descendants of Abraham.
Cyrus the Great was a Zoroastrian and God called him his messiah in Isaiah 45:1. That should tell you something.

Muslims don't believe Jesus wrote a book. We believe the Injeel was a revelation given to Jesus Christ with which he preached, his disciples might have written it down and most likely Apostle Matthew did write it down.

The first gospel to be written was said to have been written by Mathew in Hebrew/Aramaic and the document is now lost. So it not as if Muslims are making claims that are unfounded. All we have of the Gospel now are anonymously written documents.

if the temple was destroyed did the site of the temple disappear?

No, Islam does not need trinity to be false for validation. It is rather Christianity that need Islam to be false so they can continue with the delusion of a 3-1 God. Or God becoming man/sending his son to die for man sin so he can forgive man.

There is no record of any prophet teaching or preaching a 3-1 God, rather what we have are teachings like these

Isaiah 45:5
I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me,

Isaiah 43:10
You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.

You are the one that should be bothered on where a 3-1 God comes from.
You should be bothered on why God that is against human sacrifice suddenly need the sacrifice of his son to forgive sins.

The syriac manuscript allah copied and gave to Mohammed was written between the 5th and 6th century CE. Allah stated talking to Mohammed in 610. Very bold of you to claim quran came before it. If we did not have detailed recordings of the life of Alexander, yall would have claimed it was him. Muslims are only going back on their initial claims because allah was caught in a lie.

Please, we are in the age of artificial intelligence. I don't need to go through the whole hadith collections to find what I am looking for. I got the idea that Muslims are required to kill and destroy properties of non Muslims straight from the hadiths and other authentic writings describing life under the early Islamic caliphate. That was how I knew that Muslims would pardon zoro astrains even if they refused to convert, but killed multi God pagans.

Now, about Cyrus, he was used by God to free the isrealites, his people. This dose not make Cyrus a prophet, just anointed for a purpose. It also does not mean that Cyrus worshiped yahweh. We see God use alot of people in this way eg nebuchadnezzer was used by God to purnish the isrealites, pontios pirate, Balaam and the list goes on.


The question still remains, where is this book Mathew supposedly wrote down?
We are told a number of times by Muslims that the Gospel of Mathew is not the injeel.

I cannot belive that Allah sent Mohammed to come and tell us about a misplaced book and never bothered to replace the important scripture that had been missing or even try to locate it.

Mohamed did not claim to visit the rubble of the temple, he claimed he visited want in and prayed. He failed to mention it had been destroyed.

Islam needs Christianity to be valid. Even Mohamed kept asking his followers to ask the Christians ans after the Christians called him a false prophet he switched up.

How would u know if there is any record of a prophet preaching 3 in 1 God? Remember that the injeel and other scriptures are missing. With what can you judge??

You are write about Isiah. Christians do not belive The father, son and holy spirit are different God's. We belive they all together are God, so apart from them their is no other God.

The 3 in one comes from the bible.
In Hebrews, God the father attests that the son is God and ought to be worshipped. The son also asked to be honored just like the father in Mathew. The bible also states that the lier is that which denies the father and the son, calling them that deny the father and the son anti christ and devil.
