Austine1213: Lol they keep saying aiming aiming while ethiopia will surpass them in 5 years
5 years..nah I bet by the end of this year or next year...mind you Kenya cooks her Economy their fake data cannot be trusted... Ethiopia already ahead of them in PPP my guess is that the reality in nominal as well except Kenya chose to cook to appear ahead..
Austine1213: Lol he tends to think calling him out for his stupidity means we comparing
A while ago i said it that they mention SA to find some relevance, that's why they been crying i don't praise their city.
Lol nigeria will be a world superpower, Ethiopia will be running east africa followed by Tanzania
True ...a like for describing it how it in my mind's...I have E been trying to put the words together..you helped me out... Truth is than Kenya is proper African shiithole...they hype it and me too SA to seek some relevance..the real Kenyans on other social platforms complain about the mess of nairobi and how they hate it..
SUFFERInSMILIIN: [s]What do you have to say after Nigeria has lost his sovereignty to China. So are you down on by the Chinese and those problems Kid one as Chinese passport[/s]
Austine1213: They the one who started it, this has nothing to do with Nigerian cities.
We all know which country is known for slums
Lol he is trying to stop me from speaking this truth...it's hurting them like salt in an earthworm... They are used to living in an alternative universe...it's time to bring them from their high horse..
rvp20182: We are at 100b dollars. South Africa are at 350 (pre covid). 15yrs ago - Kenya GDP was 15B in 2005 - and South Africa was 25B- we have grown 7 times more. Now if we repeat the same magic - we will be - 700B in 2035. About twice as rich as South Africa now.
South Africa I doubt can double their GDP - they are very sick from a terminal disease called the middle class trap.
In 15yrs they have grown from 250 to 350B - and that was not so bad a period for them - now they are very sick - so they be able to do 400-450B in 15yrs....after COVID-19 they will be back to ground zero.
As for kenya - our relentless population control and huge investment in education - is just about to payback - we are I think 5yrs from entering the demographic transition/dividend.
You hallucinate and Imsgine alot... nairobi is no where near pretoriA...accept and move on..
rvp20182: I have said severally that Nairobi is very very near Joburg. The first time I went to Joburg about 15yrs ago - I don't think I could ever say that. But 15yrs later - I can say Nairobi is 10yrs from Joburg.
15 years is alot, they've improved better since then... nairobi of today can't hold a candle against the joburg you saw 15 years ago.
Shma: keep laughing but it's true. How can you expect a Mexican to capture nice places in an african country? .
Is your cbd not your best..he captured your best not your worst...I am glad you are beginning to see it's not impressive..maybe you don't live in Nairobi after all cos your shock after seeing that video is telling on you.
rvp2018: Nairobi was recently named 14th world most eco-friendly city in the world. South Africa best city - Cape Town - came at 50.
What do you think we will lack. We just need to replace the slums with parks; and move slum dwellers to high rises buildings - and Nairobi will be as good as any city in the developed world.
Despite the poverty and hard economic times - Nairobi has managed to remain a decent city except for Eastland.
I will still pick Capetown over nairobi any day any time..eco friendly or not...the former is a globally, developed and recognised city the latter is a third world shiithole....you know deep down nairobi doesn't hold a candle on Capetown..that would be full blown scale madness..... You are asking me what you lacK....just watch the best of nairobi a d compare it with let's say menlyn in Pretoria then tell me which looks more modern and world class....
Shma: lol! So your painful mode directed you to search the worst ever Nairobi video from slumscrapers in Eastland. Lol! Nairobi in 10yrs will be at jorburg level. And no one is competing with S. A city, we all acknowledged they are more developed and we're aiming there.
Dude this in not Eastland..this is your main CBD..stop lying...be proud of the mess you created and called developed..
Obakillah: When did you become South African? How many times do you need reminding that you from the zoo? If you want a visa, you go apply an the South African embassy not in nairaland.
Austine1213: Its an insult honestly, Nairobi is not in Pretoria levels of development but he speaking of johannesburg
The very same Joburg with a road network bigger than his country's road network
Lol they are empty noise maker..they build a few high-rise a d they think they are developed and can make noise..a lot goes into planning a d developing city and nairobi has lost it a long time ago....it's even possible they never had it since it recorded nairobi grew from a swampy area..
chrisooblog: lol the funniest thing is Buhari (who i don't even rate by the way) has done more than even your University trained Uhuru. Food security which is Kenyans greatest challenge he hasn't solved. importing maize that you can easily grow in your country. a peaceful country yet relying on food aid to feed your poor northern inhabitants.
At least as poor as Buhari is he has eliminated the need to waste scarce forex on rice when barely a few years ago we were Africa's top rice importer. He's now doing the same thing with maize.
honestly you guys can do better in the kind of presidents you choose. not this snake oil sales man who has indebted generated generations of kenyans with nothing to show for it except a loss making railway and port
Lol.uhuru is well educated to siphone their money..
chrisooblog: Lebanese don't dominate our economy the way Indians do in yours.
Richest, business giants in Nigeria are natives of the land. Lebanese are players in our economy just like Indians, Chinese, South Africans, Italians, Germans etc
The development you guys have are largely driven by your Indian born Kenyan citizens. How many non-indian individuals not linked to the Kenyattas run Kenyan economy
Maybe that why their cities looks ugly and third world like every other Indian cities..
Obakillah: Right, my opinion is that you are ashamed of Nigerian slumpolis hence the drivel...
My opinion is you are insecure about how I am putting your zoo in it place which is at the bottom...never you flex your muscles Over places higher than your zoo.
Shma: if that is your logic, then nigeria outsmart us in that game. Hence, no black nation can grow by its own. Do you know we have more Indians in Nigeria than kenya?
Say what you know not what you do the know..indian might be more here but every time ,duck and Harry knows they are at the bottom barrel living in deplorable environ...our Economy and country is black owned and black controlled..
rvp2018: We are exactly 15yrs from South Africa. I cannot say the same about Nigeria. You will never get there. I mean what more would Nigeria need if 1 trillion dollars from Oil never changed your fortunes.
Kenya we will do it without any minerals.
In 15 years time you will be in your Africa level development..nothing near first world...I can bet my last finger to that....you need to be brutally told the simple fvcking truth...you are too allergic to hearing things like this becos of your inflated ego...
Obakillah: You are yhe only fool comparing Nairobi with Cape Town. I wonder why you cant compare with Nigerian slumpolis where you come from.
You claimed to be a TZ right so I wonder why you are hurting about a convo that has nothing to do with you ..Afterall again it was rvp that brought SA cities in a d made it the topic of discussion...everyone is free to air out their opinion had regards to the topic he created..
Shma: lol! So your painful mode directed you to search the worst ever Nairobi video from slumscrapers in Eastland. Lol! Nairobi in 10yrs will be at jorburg level. And no one is competing with S. A city, we all acknowledged they are more developed and we're aiming there.
I am not in any way pained , I am not a SAns...but thing here is with the truth and fact..you guys have this stupid ego ..always raising your third city up and rubbishing others...whether you like it or not nairobi is no where near menlyn in Pretoria which apparently is also not a CBD in Pretoria...stop Insulting them by comparing nairobi or saying you are aiming them when your best is no where near their worst...
Shma: we're talking of years to come, and as you can see, Nairobi is not a growing mess, we have established all the necessary amenities required for a dynamic city. We're not here to hype but to speak the truth . in ten years to come Nairobi will be far ahead.
See dude Nairobi has more skyscrapers than Capetown by a long margin but Cape town happens to be the most developed city in SA...so magical, so beautiful.. Building there are mostly ranging from 5-10 flrs only if recent they saw a few building above 20 flrs...compare Capetown to European top cities and it will.put up a good competition..
rvp2018: Now you're an expert on all things South Africa. South Africa is going down. They have grown at zero % before COVID and minerals are drying up. Kenya is growing very fast...so fast we cannot keep up.
6th world most dynamic (fastest growing) city and only one in Africa.
Kenya that is going up according can never have a thing in SA...make use of your eye..check your best and compare it with their worst then tell me which is better..and while you are at it keep it in mind that according to you Kenya is going up while they are going down..
rvp2018: Speak for Nigeria.Upperhill and westland are turning from low rise residential areas to high rise - and the street level infrastructure - paving and the works is work in progress.
Otherwise Nairobi old CBD is pretty decent. Upperhill, westland and kilimani will soon get here.
Your best is trash and in African level..I have always told you, your cities can never be world class....SA has the opportunity to stay through with their planning and modernity..the rest of Africa lost that and are trying to start all over again to attain world class city while you are busy parading your third world zoo about...come down from your high horse you egoistical being.
