between 2000 and 2010, Ghana cement consumption remain constant at 5 to 5.7million metric tonnes. production were sometimes below consumption and import were carried out.
Since then to now
Production stands at 12 million metric tonnes and consumption at 10 million metric tonnes
Nairobi ranked most eco-friendly city in Africa. International travel-booking company Tourlane has compiled a top-50 list of the world's most environmentally-friendly gateway cities, placing Nairobi top in Africa. The Kenyan capital was also ranked 14th globally, ahead of Cape Town and Morroco's Marakech
vaxx: slums and Kenya are one word that are Inseparable. You even have a recognised slum tourism
Tell us Ghana cement production and consumption from 2000 to 2020. I can provide Kenya's. Credible Data. If you cannot even produce data - you're just a mini Nigeria that cannot afford a census.
I think you're giving much thought to the west Africans who are used to living in integrated slumpolis. The future is to focus on walkways, footpaths and name it as we move from polluting cars to more eco-friendly cities.
Nairobi has been named the world 14th eco-friendly city - and we haven't put much work on this like Kigali for example.
We need to focus on footpaths and walkways because most Nairobeans will prefer to walk home.
Saddamochieng00: You'll see some mofos here criticizing yet every city in the world is embracing the same. Only the shithole cities are left behind.
The level of stupidity in this thread is sometimes sickening.
We were doing very well until 2016 - when we had interest rate capping & real estate has cooled off - by now we should be well into 10-12m if previous projections had panned out.
The report explains that in 2016, about 6.7 million tonnes of cement was consumed, however, the volume dropped by 8.2% in 2017 https://www.globalcement.com/news/itemlist/tag/Kenya%20National%20Bureau%20of%20Statistics
From 2016 high of 6.7 - we have been dropping!
Otherwise, we have always been doing nearly twice Ghana. You have nearly caught up recently.
Estate maybe means something in Nigeria. Nairobi it's neighborhood.
Nairobi's best estates would be Muthaigas, Karens, Runda, Gigiris, Rossyln, Kitusuru, Nyari, Kyuna, lavington, Lower Kabete etc etc.
samorobo: Lol you are making noise..so kabete is even an estate and yet I requested planned neighbourhoods..heck even at that the estate looks like a crappy ,village rural Forest drive with ugly roads and open gutter...lol that is as if I am driving through the udimiken hill in Enugu and enjoying what nature has to offer along the hills.. Now post Nairobi planned residential neighbourhood for the highest of class...I want to disgrace your zoo once and for all.. Abuja's modernity is just on another level with those in SA..
If you want to see drive side where houses are visible - those are plenty in kenya lower-middle class estates. In kenya high class estates - all you will see are trees and hedges; the house don't sit two meters from the road. The rich don't like noises except of birds chirping and monkeys. The houses sits on more than 2 acres of land on average - and cannot be visible from the road
samorobo: Don't get me a stone view..I want a drive through this neighbourhood..I want to see the level of planning and modernity not rural Forest vibe..
Join the long list of West Africans who retort that when they see Nairobi is JUST NONE ANYTHING THEY IMAGINED. NAIROBI is miles ahead of anything you know in West Africa.
vankelvin: Indian Town nairobi. China republic of Kenya.
This same rural Kabete houses that looks like a forest from the road . What you call luxury in Nigeria and Abuja - is what we call lower middle class in Kenya build somewhere 30-40kms from Nairobi - in Nairobi metro with plots equal to 1/8 or 1/4.
That is beauty of it -get a drone - and now see the million dollars homes in Kitusuru and Kabete. The rich in kenya don't live in concrete jungle in 1/4 acre of plots. They build huge house that would look semi-rural to you - some sits on 5 acre of land. Karen for a long time you could not subdivide beyond 5 acres...min 5 acres.
samorobo: Lol I swear this video looks as though I am driving through the village of Nsukka..most especially the forest part..lol... Noisemakers everywhere chest beating for nothing.. Funny enough I didn't see a single houses.jyst tress and deep wild forest
Nairobi except Eastland is full of trees - I can give you a list of Nairobi high-class estates - none was built in forest - people plant trees and etc.
The roads are narrow because public vehicles are NOT allowed in such estates.
You need to have your own car or get taxi - but you cannot except to see public taxi or bus or etc.
Abuja estates are what obtains in Nairobi Metro - those are 1/4 acre of house - and they are for middle class and even lower-middle class.
In most of Nairobi high and uperr middle class estates - and they stretch HALF OF NAIROBI landmass in my estimation - most houses go for anything from 0.5M - but majority start from 1m dollars.
samorobo: This is a neighbourhood built in the deepest of Nairobi's forest with a single carriage extremely narrow road and open drainage.... You saw could literally see modernity and planning merging together in Abuja from the wide double carriage roads, to the sidewalks, to the tree planting and side garden, to the streetlight, streetsign,traffic light,cctv...I tell you only SA top residential planned neighbourhoods can compete..Abuja is not called Africa's most planned city for nothing..every freaking thing was taken into consideration...it's global standard
Nairobi richest neighberhood are define by greenery and of course huge palatial houses. Abuja the ones I have seen are middle class and even lower middle class houses you see in Nairobi Metro sitting on 1/4 or even 1/8 plots.
Nairobi high-class residence sit on 1-5 acres and the houses are so huge.
samorobo: Show me a drive through those leafy neighbourhood...I want to see the level of world class planning..Abuja planned neighbourhoods has no competitor here except for those in SA.. fact..
We have 3-4 cbds - old cbd - westland - upperhill - and we have likes of Kilimani coming up pretty fast - Joburg and entire Gauteng will be overtaken by Nairobi metro very very soon.
There is a reason why Nairobi was named the 6th most Dynamic City in the world with a selected Asian cities.
It's growing very very fast.
samorobo: Nairobi can aim joburg dusty CBD for this century then maybe later head for Sandton and after that head for waterfall..for now you are a shiity third world mess licking the behinds of any of our cities...don't you understand..
Langata is middle class - neighbors Kibera - and is one of those old neighborhoods. Nairobi high-class estates are LEAFY - Key word - the more trees - grass - forest - the more high class in Nairobi.
samorobo: Talk is cheap..show me driving video of your best planned residential neighbourhoods not estates..lol if your best Langata looks like a mess with slummish attributes, I wonder what the rest would look like... Driving through shitty Langata, Nairobi
That is 2017 and 2019 pic - You can see the WTO building there. Abuja is ghost town. A monumental waste of oil revenues. Nairobi is aiming at Joburg - and is miles ahead of any west Africa slumpolis...leave alone a ghost gov city,.
samorobo: Lol even the old video normal f Abuja CBD makes anything in Kenya looks like. Joke..that's just fact...just know your place and locate your peers..
That is Nairobi middle to the lower-middle-class estate - very shabby looking. Nairobi high class estate are the ones you already declared to be Canada.
samorobo: This is a planned residential neighbourhood in in Abuja not Estates...it's better than anything Ni have seen here since I have been here....you buy, you build.....
Only SA top neighbourhoods can compete with us..Make sure to watch to the End..
I am told majority of buildings are empty - it's a ghost town of civil servants. But you'll hear many Nigerians declare that wasteland the best city in Africa - like somehow Africa died and they gave birth to new one without our knowledge.
I nearly puked my breakfast This ABUJA in this video or another one. Abuja is competing with Tanzania similar city DODOMA. You cannot waste money and build a gov city - and somehow expect it to THRIVE.
This monumental waste of 13 billion dollars by Sani Abacha - the City cannot even compete with Mombasa - because it's frankly dead and cannot grow.
samorobo: You are still heckling....I have never placed Abuja and nairobi or any other of your slumpolis in thesame level...Abuja is in a different level of development.. competing seriously with SA cities of today not your road-less slummish zoo... We are not having this argument..we've done that for the past 4 years and yet you've uninspiring so far..today is Abuja vs Pretoria.. something new and more of peers...now go look for your peer..
Yet another prototype - please show us pictures when it completed. You're just a day dreamer.
samorobo: We are not you guys..the project is part of Abeokuta city centre project..you can go check the prototype design of Abeokuta city centre project..
Talking of Infrastructure - you Abuja rail carries 400 passengers per day - Nairobi commuter rail carries 15,000 per day and Naivasha-Mombasa carries I think 8,000 plus daily.
samorobo: All of the videos you are showing me I have watched and they gave never inspired me for once...so why should I re-watch them?
Aim joburg if can..nigga sit and stop troubling real infastructurally developed cities with your third world heckling..
