Why not put the link of the article - must have been written last decade. Eko Altantic has no promise. First Nigerian economy is sick and people are broke - Victoria Island, Ikoyi and Banana Island already have vacancy rates as high as 30 per cent in their wealthier areas. Eko City itself has essentially stalled...and more than 10yrs since 2009...there are two completed towers..that have zero occupancy rate...money thrown down the drain LITERALLY. It may take another decade before anybody lives in Eko City. https://republic.com.ng/june-july-2019/african-mega-city-addiction/ ArabicBerber: |
Information on Nairobi is easy to find and verify. The house of any budget - house hunting in Kenya is a one-afternoon affair - you just walk around - and every apartment has TO LET sign - you pay a monthly rent and a month deposit - and you're in - no need for electricity deposit coz it pre-paid. You can arrive at the airport today and in about an hour - you've rented a house - for a month - with all utilities - for less than 50 dollars - if you want to stay in studio or single room in concrete slum 1) 2,500 in pipeline - that is 20 euros a month - has DSTV connection, internet, name it. You pay 25 dollars one month and one month deposit - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDJv--t33qE&t=241s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv5k1Ufvfpc 2) 5,000 - about 45 euors - one bedroom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfV0A3ETn6w 6,000ksh kenya https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECQBmIhM7RQ Just30: |

Facts is 1) It takes your about 1 hour to get house, pay for it and rent in Nairobi 2) It about six times cheaper than Lagos. There is house for every budget. And we adding 500,000 more. Vlain: |
Almost zero completed project since 2014 - when oil tanked - and send your economy to recession. In the same period Kenya GDP has doubled - the number of projects completed staggering - that is why Nairobi is now 4th Most Dynamic City in the world. Vlain: |
No, in West Africa, they stay in the backyards of the main house, that they pay rent for one year, and such. In fact getting a house is so difficult people have to bandy together - or even borrow 2yr loan. Your housing sector is undeveloped. Nairobi has every kind of housing for every kind of need. Each on their own zones. There is no mixing! This a kilometer from that pipeline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BElEwR1CIU Just30: |
More speeches - yet since 2016 - when this kind of thread started - that is 5yrs ago - not a single projec in entire of Nigeria has been completed. Just a litany of abandoned projects like I hears Ghana is famous for. Kenya projects in that period are staggering. SGR done in 3yrs - and now it been in operation for ages. Only 9 months of Nairobi expressway and within 12 months it will be completed. I can go on and on - but Kenya is rapid growth - and projects get done on time - mostly ahead of very tight schedule. Nairobi skyline changing every day so much it's now jumped from no 20, 10, 6, and 4 of JLLC most dynamic city. Vlain: |
Pipeline concrete slumscrappers have more highrises than Accra and Kumasi combined. Many such concrete slumscrappers in Nairobi for young people who are starting life - and want to get a studio or self-contained for 30-50 dollars a month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFcG7roY_dE&t=54s |
I think you wanted to say how does an intersection in the middle of nowhere turn Accra into anything but a shanty town. Otherwise, if you meant Africa's only elevated highway - that seek to slash commute time along that nearly 30km busy corridor from 2hrs to 20mins! hen you're confirming as you won't daily your mental illness. This road will potentially reduce commute time along that section 6 times! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a8PVXJ_qfk&t=7s See comments like this - am from jhb but I can promise you that Nairobi is becoming Africa's biggest metropolis in the next few years. All funds are going to head that side for a number of reasons. If I want to invest, that is also my first choice. Useless arguments, when presented with video evidence like this, should really cease https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H2mz5bLB8w Just30: |

Okay differentiate btw INSURGENTS and Lone terrorists. Boko Haram are insurgents seeking to install islamic rule in Nigeria and they occupy territory. They don't need to go to Lagos or Abuja to make a point. The terrorists who attacked US in 9-11 are NOT INSURGENT. Now let move to Kenya. Kenya for many years has been the target of Islamic terrorists. This is because Kenya for many years has been Pro-Isrealis - pro-American - Pro-British - and Nairobi host the UN and many global media houses. So for the terrorist - attacking Nairobi is as good as attacking London or Newyork. Attacking Mombasa or Nairobi jewish business is their biggest dream. The number of such terrorists thwarted in Kenya are many - and for many years - Kenya Anti terror squad work closely with CIA/Mossad to get them - Most of them coming from Somalia - where we share 1000KMs border with. Somalia is a well-known hub of Alshabaab - and they controlled that country for many years - but has never dared to come to Kenya - expect sending lone attackers to stage terror activities. What Nigeria is facing is NOT terrorism per see - it's insurgency by Islamist - like Somali gov is facing with Alshabaab or Mali gov is facing with Islamic Jihaad. Kenya last fought insurgency war in 1960s and 1970s - the Shifta War - Somali seccesionist that wanted to annex Kenya North East to be part of Somalia. Boko Haram is not sending 2 or 3 men to cause chaos as matrrys - they are fighting to create an islamic caliphate in there - they are occupying huge territory of Nigeria - they have local administrators and run affairs there - and they are fighting on the ground. That is an insurgency - and not terrorism - and it requires counterinsurgency military operation - that likes Nigeria/MALI/SOMALIA/CHAD/AFGAN/YEMEN have FAILED SPECTACULARLY FOR MANY YEARS NOW. Terrorism requires police and intelligence (CIA/MOSSAD) - and in Kenya, this is handled by Kenya Police Anti-Terror squad - as you're dealing with lone wolves. https://www.cid.go.ke/index.php/sections/formations/atpu.html ArabicBerber: |

To defeat Boko Haram - Nigeria soldiers should be sent to Kenya for a year training on Counterinsurgency. Kenya Army under British Army have lot of experience dealing with such kind of wars. Beginning with Mau Mau. The British waged the first successful counter-insurgency in Malaysia and then Kenya in 1950s - and that has become the template for fighting guerrilla or such unconventional warfare. The most important aspect is to win the population of the muslim north east - so as you kill BH - the army need to have humaniterian wing building schools, providing food and name it - for without KANURI civilian support - Nigeria army is wasting time. KDF use such counter-insurguency methods in Somalia and all over....as most modern wars now are of that nature. To quote this article military successes achieved in Kenya and cyprus can be largely attributed to the appropriation from the malayan experience of what shall be identified here as three key strategies: access to adequate resources, tactical flexibility and civil-military cooperation. the first, access to adequate resources and experience, was a vital precondition for the successful use of force against the insurgents https://www.mindef.gov.sg/oms/content/dam/imindef_media_library/graphics/pointer/PDF/2013/Vol.39%20No.2/7)%20V39N2_Lessons%20from%20the%20British%20Counterinsurgency%20Strategies%20Applied%20in%20Malaya,%20Kenya%20and%20Cyprus.pdf the actual guerrilla wars in Kenya and cyprus were met with a combination of military and police forces that conducted operations largely according to the malayan blueprint. the earlier stages of each campaign were characterised by conventional large-scale operations, such as jungle-sweeps or extensive cordon-andsearch operations , meant to pressure the insurgents and keep them on the run. these methods, although notoriously inefficient, ----------------------------------NIGERIA IS STUCK HERE. kept up the pressure on the insurgents and could reap handsome rewards on occasions. for example, the massive cordon-and-search operation around the paphos forest in cyprus in June 1956, operation pepperpot, secured the highly valuable personal papers of the eoKa commander general grivas.9 still, victory ultimately depended on the second key strategy: tactical flexibility, embodied most in the small-unit tactics that intensified as the emergencies progressed. the decentralisation of command and control was crucial in achieving this in malaya. 0 counterinsurgency is a subaltern’s or even a corporal’s war. this was appreciated in Kenya, where frank Kitson was given sufficient freedom to develop his highly effective “pseudo-gang” strategy, which involved creating counter-gangs of surrendered mau mau insurgents that made contact with and gain intelligence from real mau mau units.11 in cyprus, where urban terrorism was more rampant than in malaya or Kenya, small-unit tactics were successfully adapted to the terrain of urban warfare. a favourite tactic, well established by 1957, was the “snatch,” where a small party darted into a specified house to snatch eoKa terrorists from their very beds.12 tactical flexibility in adapting malayan small-unit strategies to the environments in Kenya and cyprus was instrumental to successes there military success also relied heavily on the third key strategy: civil-military cooperation. the sheer complexity of the counterinsurgency campaigns necessitated close cooperation between the civil administration, the police and the military. the apparatus for such cooperation was provided in malaya through an elaborate committee system at the district, state and federal levels, designed under harold Briggs, director of operations from 1950 to 1952.13 this system, which provided for regular liaisons between all the parties engaged in counterinsurgency operations, was closely replicated in Kenya and cyprus |
Why can't Nigeria Army Military Intelligence identify those politicians and arrest them - and court-martial them. In kenya - I don't think anybody will want to get into a theatre of war - where KDF is involved. It just cannot happen. It UNTHINKABLE. Army are outside constitution almost - so nobody want to get into their way. If you politicians do not fear your army - then there is BIGGER PROBLEM. Army main role is to be a deterrent. And it the last option. In kenya - people fear paramilitary police called GSU - but they dread KDF - KDF remember as KAR were bombing MauMau in 1950s and in few times they have been operation in kenya like Shifta seccession war with Somalia or little rebellion in Mt Kenya - KDF will bomb the shiet out of that place.As for Kenya please stop the comparison - it's day and night. A few terrorist coming to kenya is POLICE (internal security) failure. Our police forces is admittedly VERY CORRUPT and mostly incompetent. If terrorists were to occupy territory in kenya - that is ARMY failure. obaaderemi: |
How do politicians interfere with military operation? That is just crazy excuse. In kenya yes the police - because it under civilians - will be interfered with by politicians - but KDF has only one civilian - the president - who is the commander. Once military operation has been okayed by Buhari - then what else is there to negotiate about. Just admit your army is corrupt - and sell weapons to BH. Or that Buhari has no money to finance a modern army - 2B dollars for 360,000 army is big joke. obaaderemi: |
my last before I go watch England and Italy. In kenya KDF officer if they as much as misbehave in a bar - and Military Police hear it - they are home. KDF office cannot threaten or even insult a kenya. That is getting fired. Nigeria you hear people threatening others with army uncle or such. In kenya that would strange. Nobody even know KDF - army officer knows better - that even threatening - leave alone beat someone - is straight ticket home. In fact you never really hear of KDF officer in a bar; or anywhere in social places; they hide. KDF soldier out of barracks you will never KNOW. After their work is done - they become civilains - and try as much to behave. One mistake is tragic. Kenya Police is something else..KDF most kenyans do not even know if they exist. They are very silent....they literally hide. Any indiscipline is court martial..inside or outside barracks. |

The UN SC who have entrusted Kenya Army to missions in Europe, Middle East and Asia. South Africa - Congo alone is a mess- DRC gov has run to Kenya to help them. Why did Congo that is part of SADC run to KENYA - TZ and South Africa have failed. The President said the KDF is admired both at home and internationally for their discipline and professionalism. Kenya soldiers have maintained high professional standards – Uhuru By Koome Kimonye For Citizen Digital time updated Published on: May 23, 2016 15:50 (EAT) Kenya soldiers have maintained high professional standards - Uhuru President Uhuru Kenyatta on Monday applauded the Kenya Defence Forces for maintaining high standards that has earned them global respect as well as the role they have played in Somalia. He said the continuous participation of Kenyan military personnel in these missions reflects the confidence that the United Nations and, in particular, the Security Council, has in the Kenya Defence Forces. https://citizentv.co.ke/news/kenya-soldiers-have-maintained-high-professional-standards-uhuru-127573/ AfriqueDuZuid: |

No. I have see the likes of Saud Arabia beaten by Yemenis. Or well Isreal beat the entire Arab world - yet the morons spend most of the Oil money buying weapons from US and Russia. Equipment is nothing - small motivated force like Taliban has defeated NATO. Previously Taliban beat USSR/Russia. What is important is DISCIPLINE AND MOTIVATION Barely 5 Feet vietnamese beat the US - despite US throwing tonnes of bombs. DISCIPLINE AND MOTIVATION is important. Look at Ethiopia - 1-2m force - beaten by Tigrays and Eritrea - made landlocked. Or your boers with Nuclear heads - giving up to ANC mess. At end of day - nobody will really allow you to Nuke anybody unless you're US in 1945 - so all the powerful weapons is waste of money. Modern WARFARE - mean CIVILIAN have to be isolated - and that pretty much blunt the weapons. You have to invest in intelligence and kill the enemy - leave the women and kids. Nobody will allow you to use these powerful weapons countries are buying - it just a DETERRENT MEASURE - you're better of training a professional, disciplined and motivated army - end of the day - you need to separate civilians from military targets - or you will get into LOTS of trouble.

Nigeria Army need deep reforms. The likes Gen Tonje enforced on KDF. For example Tonje rules require one to acquire a military science degree before being promoted to Major. One must also be promoted to another rank in 4yrs or leave the services. Commander server for 4yrs and leave services. Nigeria need an army general or president who can face the army (they might do a coup) and enforce REFORMS. it not working. They need to professionalism the force, fix remuneration, housing, and such issues. Being an army should be something to be proud of. https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/commentary/article/2001370813/new-kdf-boss-must-not-disappoint-daudi-tonje Tonje, wrote Daniel Opande, had vision that many officers lacked. In reforming the military, he introduced gender equality, abolished wage payments, started health insurance for the military and struggled to cater for veterans’ interests. In addition, Tonje, the “grand strategist”, dreamt of building critical policy-making masses. He persuaded Moi to establish the National Defence College as a top multi-sector regional military and civilian training organ for safeguarding national interests. He made Opande, with peace-keeping experience in Namibia, Mozambique, and West Africa, the first Commandant. NDC association Tonje retired in 2000, after four years as per his rules and Joseph Kibwana took over as CGS. All the subsequent CGSs, and most of the service commanders, have had NDC association and know the “Tonje rules” of military etiquette and governance. The Tonje rules seem to have three pillars. One, ensure that senior officers have university education and acquire ability to think critically. Two, institutionalisation of age and term limits for commanders. Three, advance the concept of service rotation in the CGS office and promote a sense of equity among the three services. CGSs follow a Tonje rotational pattern: Kibwana (Navy), Jeremiah Kianga (Army), Julius Karangi (Air Force), Samson Mwathethe (Navy), and now Kibochi (Army). kikuyu1: |
You may have more weapons - but I doubt you'll get to Kenya level of discipline and professionalism. An army that runs on meriotrocacy.

You bet they have Military Intelligence. This brute force - used to simply beating up civilians. This is why they have 360,000 foot soldiers. The Kenya Military Intelligence would have done enough reconnaissance way before - and would simply make the job easy - for the airforce to take them out - with foot soldiers really coming to sweep up. Enough KDF spies would be part of BH - and they would provide precise intelligence - like happened in Somalia. All this come with world-class training, discipline, professionalism and of course resources - in a lean force. BH cannot last 3 months if KDF were to be deployed. NTSA: |
You cannot compare Africa's most professional and disciplined army with Nigeria ill-trained army - militia. Nigeria only UN mission appears to be Liberia and Siera leone - which I think they screwed it up so much Gen Opande kenya had to fix it.Show me another Africa force that UN Sec Council would trust to go to Europe, Asia and Middle East - Nigerians will go steal and rape the victims of war. Ghana has only done Africa UN peace keeping mission. This is why Kenya is one top 10 contributors to global peace/good
