I keep saying Mombasa makes Abuja look like a joke - Nairobi beat Lagos.

Wuoche:
See the gap between Abuja and Mombasa. Abuja has 600 people in the $1M category Mombasa has 800 people, in the $10M category Abuja has 30 people Mombasa has 40. The hype that Nigerians have been to Abuja you could think Abuja is not in Africa

If the entire Kenya is undeveloped compare to Accra, how will Eastleigh compare ?

That years ago. Eastleigh look like this. Obviously Eastleigh is more developed than Accra. Accra is more sprawling.

Just30:
I can see you are busy fishing the internet for old videos

Should I give you locations for you to go and check?


Just ask African Traveller why Accra is more developed than your entire country.

Why should I explain something that is self-evident; Just watch this video; and tell me how ACCRA can be more developed than Eastleigh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VieewA3vo4&t=10s

Just30:
Accra developed land is Bigger than the developed on land of the entire nairobi, explain to me how a smaller portion like Eastliegh will compare?


Will you stop lying, that entire place is breeding with garbage

Eastleigh - the Somali capital of the world - is bigger than Accra. The roads and garbage is now sorted. Somalis can be very filthy people but we have fixed their problem.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPW575uQ4I

Just30:
Funny


pave the roads in Eastleigh that is right in the Middle of the village you call a city cbd and clear the faeces on it.

Which videos? The same little housing scheme of 10-20 units - and one street video - George Walker Bush. Please put aerial drone shot of your slumpolis so we can laugh.

Just30:
Dim*wit sothe numerous Accra videos I've posted are what?

Why should we spray paint a beautiful bus to make it ugly like your?

The is no bu in kenya with those things.

shut your trap and stop lying

I see you're quick to post videos - not unlike when we ask for Accra videos. I see you bought already made Scania bus. But you have no ability to customize it - like we do it here. And if you did - you put hideous seats like I saw.

Bonobo - if small bus doing intercity have those things - what there to impress us with?

Just30:
What I see is an ugly painted bus that is rickety with no charging ports, rest room, microwave and no reclining tables.

VIP and STC goes to Abidjan, Lome, Lagos, Burkina Faso, Monrovia.

KANO the highlight of that MEGA SLUMPOLIS is the roundabout/interchange. KANO I never forgotten when I watched CNN in 1990s and they brought KANO - a sprawling dust-bowl with grotesque buildings as far as the eye could see - more like the lost city of TIMBUKTU .

The next time I saw something similar - I was in DAADAB refugee camps for somalis.

That bus with those hideous seats CANNOT BE VIP. Poor African traveller with nutcase for a friend. Imagine telling a BONOBO that you're great ; always seeking validation.

KENYA VIP buses take you 3,000 kms from Mombasa to RWANDA/ BUJUMBARA - some goes as far down as Zambia.

I will take your African traveller words over your useless noise.


He calls them far better than whatever long distance bus in your country

The ones I've seen on the Mombasa road are so rickety

Well post the video and END THE DEBATE. All I have seen are road full of OVERGROWTH, RAMSHACKLE Vehicles and POTHOLES. I admit I have seen mostly from Southern/Eastern to LAGOS....like LAGOS to ENUGU....crazy roads.

This for example Nakuru- Kericho (my hometown)

WTF , All roads in Northern Nigeria are better and wider than this crap, Kastina -Sokoto -Kebbi rural Roads are far better than this shiit, not to even mention Kano Maiduguri 500Km+ road.

JESUS - VIP buses. Kenyans I tell you have British sarcasm. We can tell you go to hell and you'll looking forward to it. Please look for VIP Buses in Kenya - LOL - long distance buses - GHANA PLEASE BONOBOS!

Just30:
Dumb kid


your fellow citizens says those VIP buses are far better than the once available in Kenya.

You don't make any sense even if you bold it. One acre substation - with 300 Acre Africa Largest. You're a nut case.

Just30:
We lost nothing and it was a smart decision to cancel fraudulent deals.

They can go to Kenya and commit those frauds but not in Ghana. We don't allow that here.

The US thought we will be dumb like Kenya where that they can boss around and loot.

Suswa station in kenya is a tiny 220MVA station it is not even worth comparing it to a 580MVA station.

Mention a station in Kenya that is even large enough to compare to the 485MVA Kasoa BSP and I will clap for your country.


After so many years of being independent, your leaders only now grew the brain to extend your power transmission lines to connect your villages and your northern territories and it neighbouring countries.


Suswa is a tiny 220MVA station, even the 375MVA Accra Central Bulk Supply station is larger than it.
Isinya is also a 220MVA station

you guys are a joke, anyway, you don't have much electricity to go round so how will you be able to built a BSP with even 400MVA capacity?

Honestly what impresses these West African BONOBOS !!!!!!!!! ALL I SAW WAS TROTRO with UGLY SEATS all the journey.

If we give them rural kenyan roads they will run to admin to KILL THE THREAD AGAIN.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpm2ZNFJt9c

gallivant:
That was a disappointment to watch.

I already explained - corona is one of the problems - we have started - that is most difficult. Gov was hoping to get 1B dollars annualy from kenyan by leving housing fund fee on salaries - court blocked that - so now it gone to private sector. There is already 26 BILLION DOLLARS committed.

68816419:
But your Government promised 500,000 homes would be built by the year 2022 as part of the Nation Housing Plan, how comes only less than 5000 unites has been built and all located at Pagani area?

64 dude.

This rural kenya - Nakuru to Eldoret - by African traveller - you see the big difference.

I doubt in the entire west african you can even match that - see how well maintained, trimmed the roads are - and see a climbing lane at every hill - ensuring traffic flows fast.

Do you see any RAMSHACKLE of a car in our roads.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpm2ZNFJt9c

You raised my expectation only to see the usual integrated slumpolis - and Trotro. You can never compare Kenya Urban and Rural Areas to the entire West Africa.

I was expecting something half decent like this

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

68816419:
@RVP , gallivant and Shma2020, please be objective and truthful to your selves, can you compare the level of development (Road Infrastructures, bridges, urban planning, landscaping, Bus terminals ) shown here by your fellow Kenyan with any county in Kenya ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VOSklPAJCs

More diarrhea - you've lost a lot from that stupid decision - your benefactor - the US has really kicked your tiny butt around.

One acre substation cannot compare to many in Kenya - big ones Suswa, Isinya, Olessos - these contain power from our main power - and regionally with Ethiopia, Uganda and Tanzania.

Suswa is like the main natioanl substation - bigger than anything in SSA Africa outside South Africa I bet.

Isinya - has capacity of 1200MW - and supply Nairobi with Geothermal and Ethiopia/Tanzania power.

Olesoss - supply western power and interlink with Uganda.

Just30:
The US committed fraud and we booted them out of our power sector.
And the projects still went on with the Government of Ghana providing the funding shortfall through MiDA.

This fool must be thinking I'm a liar like him.


The Americans give us that money in other to buy their way into the Lucrative power sector of Ghana and we give them a red eye after taking their money.

There is not even a single 580 MVA bulk supply station anywhere in kenya.
That is a technology your country will never be able to acquire.

All your bulk supply stations run on 220mva

When your distribution service runs the latest switches and techs in the distribution network, you don't need big loand.

Pokuasi BSP is larger than all the BSPs in kenya.

go argue with your ketraco

I meant South Africa soweto like estates. I didn't mean Soweto Slum in Kayole. Slum Upgrading and the whole shebang is quite difficult because the land is illegal. Most of the residence will eventually be demolished. Soweto slum I bet sit on riparian land. Kibera most of it reserve land of some sort - Railway, nairobi dam and ngong forest - and many roads reserve. So eventually about half of it need to be demolished - and the remainder upgraded.

Don't confuse SUP with AHP - Slum Upgrading- and Affordable Housing.

68816419:
WTF, i am only asking u to show me the demolished Soweto slums and the new projects built on it, not that over publicized Pagani projects

Yes, I think Two Rivers, is one best place to invest. I have seen some really cheap units. It's going to become a mini city. But someone need to dualize the entire Limuru road.

Shma2020:
23fls Cascadia apartments in two rivers. One of the widest skyscraper in africa.

WHY DO YOU LIE IN ERA OF INTERNET ??

MCC - from horse mouth - and I see the American slashed the funding - after you SCREWED UP BIG TIME - by cancelling IPP - you lost 190M on MCC - and got kicked out of Africa POWER

https://www.mcc.gov/where-we-work/program/ghana-power-compact

The original amount at compact signing in 2014 was $498 million, however the compact was reduced by $190 million in October 2019.

"Press Release

MCC Statement Regarding Termination of the Private Sector Concession by the Government of Ghana"

And the one ACRE POKOUASI sub station is small part of the American donation to help POOR GHANA.

Just30:
The entire project is 498 million dollars with a 580 MV BSP and a 485 MVA BSP plus a 300 kilometer 330kv line from each of the BSP to Kumasi.

I'm yet to see a decent highway in kenya that can match the Motorway.



Just in case your dumb self don't know, Mida is a gov't of Ghana agency which is funded by Ghana, MCA and development partners.


When will kenya be able to raise a 13 billion dollars investment that is badly needed by it power sector, to modernise the power sector in your broke country?

Is 13 billion dollars too huge for your country to spend on one sector?

That kind of investment will bankrupt kenya.

Progress? Ngara is completed and sold off. Kariokor (Jeevanjee) 2,000 units are under construction. Shauri Moyo starting soon. Pangani too.

Phase 1 - 67,000 units
The first phase of the regeneration project, which is ongoing, concerns Ngong Road Phases I and II, Uhuru Estate, New Ngara, Old Ngara, Suna Road, Pangani, and Jeevanjee/Bachelor Quarters.

The Pangani project began last year as the flagship project for the first phase of the regeneration project that is aimed to put up between 10,000 and 12,000 housing units upon completion.

Phase 2 - has started with EOI
https://constructionreviewonline.com/news/kenya/affordable-housing-project-in-nairobi-nms-to-redevelop-10-county-government-estates/
As part of the second phase of the affordable housing project in Nairobi, the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) has earmarked 10 more County government estates for redevelopment. These estates include Bahati, Bondeni, California, Embakasi, Jericho, Kariobangi North, Lumumba, Maringo, Woodley, and Ziwani estates.

68816419:
That was 2018, can you please show us latest updates and progress of the development

I know. They are twisting and turning unable to compete with barren country like Kenya. If only they could use the minerals wisely.

Shma2020:
Rvp, the people you're debating with are not ready to reason. They are green with anvy and not even a slight effort in Your argument will change anything

See, if you want to see real jealous, just stay tuned .

Anyway... so guys, I don't think there is any country in Sub-Sahara Africa that can stand the projects going on in Kenya and that is a plain fact.

Lemme just narrow this down to Nairobi alone so as to avoid the looong argument.

Nairobi is currently bulding the tallest tower in africa(approved)

Nairobi is currently bulding the tallest apartment in Sub-Sahara Africa at 44fls.

Nairobi outside south Africa in Sub-Sahara Africa is bulding the most breathtaking roads in africa:- upperhill viaduct (elevated), Nairobi expressway way(eleveted with 9 interchanges, electronic traffic control systems , gold brt lanes, 14lanes at widest), ngong road (phase 2), Western bypass (10 interchange, 12 lane at widest, some sections will be eleveted) etc.

Affordable houses in ngara(including 8 skyscrapers)

Two rivers city.

Konza city - south Korea had just signed a contract to build one of the biggest science university in africa.

Etc etc etc.

The entire donation is 498 from American Millenum Challenge (guys who built you only decent highway - George Walker Bush) - Pokuasi is 30MD usd.

You cannot spend 500m usd in one acre

Just30:
Yes, your country is too poor and that is why it doesn't have money to invest in it power and water supply systems.


Pokuasi Bsp is a 498 million dollars project and will be running 580 MVA transformers

Something that cant be found in your country.

We have spent 13 billion dollars on the Power sector from our taxes already.

I hope your country can do that level of investment.

The largest Transformers at BSPs in kenya are the medium range 350 MVAs

We are turning our Sowetto like low rise gov owned houses into high rises. I don't think after Nairobi has delivered say 100,000 units - Any Sub Sahara City will come close in terms of the size of the city. 500,000 units - that is huge - and that city of 2m people.

We are demolishing 17,000 Soweto like houses - so we can deliver more than 100,000 units. Phase alone will deliver 70,000 units.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQnTf5WdhBo

AfriqueDuZuid:
nice

Even towns like Rustenburg building better ones, well Rustenburg is considered a city due to its size, development and GDP of $9billion but in SA we call it a town

Anyway lemme mind my own business

No Kenya is not broke like Ghana. This Pokouasi is 33M usd project funded by the Americans donation. Too poor.

We are spending 500M usd in suswa - from our taxes.

Just30:
so you waste it?

No wonder your electricity situation is horrendous because of old distribution systems.

Good if you have GRIDCO - what I cannot understand is why they waited until the network collapsed. As for your one acre substation - good luck with that.

Just30:
It is called Technology, it uses the latest power supply technology available to the distribution services of the world.

Unfortunately kenya is too poor to afford something like that.

The only country that gets daily dumsor is kenya, because electricity available is not enough in your country.
And your country distribution network is not advanced enough.
How was your 12 hours light out yesterday?

Your Ketraco is our GRIDCO.
Your ketraco engineers were taught by GRIDCO engineers on how to manage a distribution network, including others from Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia,Tz and co.

GRIDCO is a pioneer.

KETRACO.

Let not start you daily nonsense again. You watch all kenya videos of any house outside Mombasa/Northern - and try to spot an AC. And then please share the video. If you find one in Nairobi that would be something. I have only seen ACs in banking halls and such places...

Just30:
you are dumb

That is why your country is so dark.

A house needs power 24/7 and you need to supply as much as they can consume so you don't inconvenience them.


Just say kenyans are poor and can only afford to power one bulb in their shacks for 3 hours.

Since you are so ever ready to get rid of fossil fuels, when will kenyans be rich enough to use induction cookers ?


Getting everyone to access an unreliable power that is not enough for everyone in kenya is the way to go.
But you guys need to invest get rich and invest in more generation.

Lagos state alone consumes 2000mw plus and gets what, it has 21 to 24 million people.

All the house in Kenya uses AC except for people like you who live in shacks and slum scrappers without windows as you would like to call those.
