Shma: I can't be bitter about your zoo. I only state facts. Facts will set you free. Abuja has potential. But the sprawling slums in all corner of your planned city is the problem.

Shma: The best city to work in means: - It has proper transport infrastructure from and to the working place. - Proper housing infrastructure - suitable for any kind of foreigner. - Conducive climate. - well planned - not integrated with slums. - proper zoning - help cater for foreigners with different tastes, eg. Some people would prefer leafy suburbs and others sparse. Nairobi caters to both. - language - Kenyans speak fluent English/ no language barriers in that regard. - General infrastructure - this is one of the things foreigners look at before moving to a particular country, that's why only big cities(infrastructure wise) appeared on the list.

Lol don’t be stupid. I under you want to add to the list to stay relevant. So I really think Nairobi could one day become the best city in Africa and more hilariously the 12th best in the world.. like can you listen to ur self. Why then am I here arguing if Nairobi was all that great. One video or pics would ground me to a halt but nahh that ain’t the case.
Oga this is the methodology they used. All that nonsense you wrote up there is just a figment of your imagination. Wake up fool.
The survey shows most of the expatriates picked Nairobi due to ease in getting settled, friendliness of locals, feeling welcomed and local languag

Lol quit whining around. You know so much about other countries cos u are obsessed with them and practically idolize them silently. Whereas no one gives a fvck about ur zoo. The only popular knowledge of Kenyans out there is marathon racing and human-animal interaction. You think animal ,you think Kenya. You think jungle ,you think Kenya.
festacman: You are the one whose mind needs urgent purification from dirty-mindedness and prejudice.
Look, all I communicated in my comment is that Tonto Dike needs a HUSBAND but unfortunately she wants it on her own terms. And not achieving her aim is making her a little frustrated and depressed.
You mentioned d*ck and her need to be steadily fortified with vitamin D.. or am I missing something here.
festacman: The summary of this whole thing is Tonto Dike needs a resident d*ck. The problem is that she wants the steady intake of this 'vitamin D' on her terms and has been unable to do that. So she is a tad frustrated and slightly depressed. Please bear with her.
Must everything revolve around sex to you. If sex is the easiest way to chase clout on nairaland and garner cheap likes them it’s as stale as it gets. Oga purify you mind,this was boring by the way..
Shma: Don't bring jokes on serious issues. These are just scattered dwarf buildings found anywhere in a developed city. Abuja is your capital city, we except a cluster of GTC or river estate-like projects. Not these weeny projects.
For instance, this is Enaki. Cranes are all over the place. Does that mean Enaki is a grand project? Nope.
Firstly don’t you ever in your life think you are worthy enough to tell me what to do. I don’t answer to you,it’s the other way round. I own my phone and data so I can post whatever I like whenever I like and however . You are only allowed to whine in secret.
Secondly your cubicle sized two crane enaki centre inspires no one. Those supposedly dwarf buildings are independent buildings coming up nicely.
And lastly we have a better version of ur GTC in Abuja which is the WTC. Only a fool will compare those magnificent glassy skyscrapers to ur depressing pillar of concrete that could look better with a brush of paint. WTC is seven tower of which two has been built and information reaching me has it that the rest 5 will commence full construction next year... and lest I forget,Abuja doesn’t even need a scrape to trash any of your zoo cities to the ground.Trust me it’s always a flawless victory.
And you still wonder why we have more malls than your zoo. Kaduna alone is constructing four malls as we speak. That’s more malls Kenya as a zoo have under construction this year.
kikuyu2: They started 2015 and IIRC there was an almost 1 yr delay while our Waffa kids screeched in typical demonic malice. Anyway, late next year they'll be winding up. Meanwhile despite all the dyck noise these guys shoehorn into our ear about Eko Atlantic this is where they're at mid year.
So much pain bro.old pictures!!!! Those building are this close to completion. Opening date is on the 12th,of December 2021. Btw never you compare anything in eko Atlantic to whatever is obtainable in ur zoo.and most certainly not this tall hideous structure you call GTC
This IITA,Ibadan. Probably the best neighborhood in Ibadan. Karen and any nonsense in Kenya has a lot to learn from this ..compare it to US standard.THE SERENITY is definitely out of this world.
