South Africa grew thanks to it's mineral. Now it's down. Kenya and it's cities have seen dramatic growth the last 15yrs. Be afraid of the next 15yrs if you hate Kenya.

Nairobi is growing very very fast.

Stop decieving yourself.. nairobi got nothing on another SA top four cities..take your L and go cry somewhere...

Shma:
why do always cry when you hear tall Buldings.
Have you seen the iconic Singapore city with the glitter of nice skyscrapers.
When we say Nairobi is aiming at jorburg, we don't necessarily base it on skyscrapers.
We have moreeeeeee iconic low rise and highsrise structures coming up.
The moderty of architectural designs is what is making Nairobi.

Nairobi has more taller buildings than umhlanga a mixed-used neighbourhood in Durban which is not even their CBD...building from the video appears to be majorly 3-5 floors but it more modern than anything in Nairobi....let me tell you the truth straight to your fave.. Nairobi has lost it, from all you've posted here so far none has shown you are aiming umhlanga....below is Nairobi VS umhlanga.

Lol i suppose you are aware skyscrapers is not what makes a city, joburg is a developed city

Johannesburg does not experience high population increase, there are other major cities by 2030 Nairobi will have a bigger population.

SA has a well established network of cities

The median age in SA is 27 years, Nairobi has around 20yrs

He is decieving himself.....take him as an empty noisemaker seeking attention...this is their overhyped nairobi old show me the modernity...it's looks a basic, unplanned African style of urbanisation...

Abohboy:
Tall buildings isn’t what creates a city, the schools, hospitals, roads, parks, sewage all matter, in majority of Sandton and joburg you will never see a flooded road, even when it rains heavily roads won’t be flooded, which is what you should be aiming for not, having the most tall buildings.

He is fooling himself if he thinks his third world African-, mediocre style of urbanisation has a thing in Sandton...I keep saying it if nairobi put in all it best for 15 years it will be at hillbrow's level which is like the worst if joburg(old parts of Johannesburg)..
Vom0are Sandton with Beverly Hills in California not shiithole nairobi..

rvp2018:
Joburg to Pretoria - is what 40kms. Joburg to Sandton 15kms. Nairobi including it's metro is close to 7.5M people. In terms of skyscrapper - tall buildings - Nairobi is nearly catching up - even when Sandton is included.

Dude I think you need to wake up and stop living in denial ... nairobi is anything but modern..you lost it ,SA futures and some magreb cities are lucky to have started that from the beginning and maintain a standard pace of modernity..the rest of Africa that doesn't have are either building new cities or demolishing to start again...
Name it Westland, upperhill all have more taller building than Sandton but can you show me a drive through any ii those places that is half as modern as Sandton with all that highrise..... nairobi I keep telling you is a wthirld world mess you keep hyping..compare Sandton to U.S cities not shiity nairobi...

This guy!!

Do you agree with the rubbish he said

zhike:
Nigeria is mistreating SA companies, that is why most SA companies are pulling out of Nigeria.

Nigeria must start using Rand as their currency and their economy will be better.

You are very mad....this is the end of this discussion...
Nigeria must start using rand...what rubbish...

zhike:
Allow SA to invest in your country, like they did to other SADC countries.
Your countries will be successful

Did SA says we restrict investment!

zhike:
The reason why west African countries are not developing is because they are not united.
They hate each other and compete with each other.
Ghana is competing with Nigeria.

Same applies to east Africa, Kenya is competing with Tanzania.

You must learn from SADC countries, they are very united. Rand currency is used in all SADC currencies.
Their economy is linked and depend on South African economy.
Most SADC countries like Botswana, Namibia, Angola, Lesotho and Swaziland are well developed than all east and west Africa.
The reason they are developed they accepted South Africa to control their economy.

So what's your point...unite or allow SA control.our economies..

rvp2018:
You cannot teach me Nairobi. Yes as you say it extend from Zimmerman all the way to Pipeline - just before the Airport. And those are slumscrappers. Nothing like you have in Nigeria. I am talking high rise after high rise apartments....like nearly 150 sq kms..about 15 by 10..of high rise apartments.

And yet Eastlando is generally better than what you have in West Africa.

In terms of land size - it nothing! If you start from say Garden Estate - and go all the way to Karen - keeping a mostly north of thika highway and mombasa road - you'll see the posh areas of Nairobi are huge - covers more than 1/2 of Nairobi.

Nairobi is not comparable to many SSA cities. Joburg will see dust soon.

Eastleigh is generally better what you see in Nigeria is another of your frail ego talking..you can heckle us with your integrated slumscrapper -slumpolis zoo..
Your deplorable living condition does not start and end in Nairobi they extend all the way to the metro...you have rongai,kitsuru,kitengle,Thika town Et.c...one or two tiny-cubicle sized estates in each of those location doesn't stop it from being trashy cos about 98% of those locations don't look like this gated Estates...now that why nairobi is mostly and Integrated slumpolis...one minute you are in a serene environment the next minute you are cruising in a Zimmerman-like kinda neighbourhood

Yes I agree with you properties around Thika highway is generally better...

In succinct term overpriced land which apparently is the costliest globally hasn't done shiit to the common lives of Kenyan...even Kenyans are crying day and night in every social platform about this issue...this false pretense of everything is rosy ,fine and progressive with the benefit is just a facade the rest Kenyans mostly especially those our ones voicing out online knows better....you made their lives miserable....with this situation it is hard to make it and become successful in Nairobi,Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru....you live like a rat in your tiny rented apartment till you relocate to the grave for a final rest.no progress made after relocating to the city

rvp2018:
Yes Nairobi has slumscrappers. We call it Eastland. Eastlando. It start exactly from Eastleigh all the way to Pipeline and to Embakasi. Those places are crazily high denisty. Of 4.5m Nairobi residents - about 2/3 live in Eastlando. The houses are owned by kenya middle and upper class. I have apartment myself in there..

Basically because land is very expensive..you have to build up. Eastlando have rent starting from say 30-50 dollars to high of maybe 400-500usd. They are few low rise residences...but most places allow officially upto 10 floors.

Eastland or Eastlando I think covers about 1/3 of Nairobi land mass including industrial area - although houses nearly 2/3 of Nairobi
Westland-Karen-South - covers like 1/2 of Nairobi.
Nairobi NEP and forests - covers the remainder.
Slums covers 2-5% - and are illegally built in rivers valleys.

Story for the gods..your slums rappers and slumpolis environ goes beyond just embkassi, pipeline ,eastlando...it also extend to Zimmerman, Roysambu,Athi river,,huruma gosh I can go and on...the percentage of of nairobians that live a decent live I bet is less than 15% a d they are tucked in your three cbd's amongst other few karen-like neighbourhood the rest find themselves in shacks,vertical slum,actual kibera-like slums,mud houses E.t.c....gisg look at Langata with all that pricy land and properties looks a low-life ghetto area..

rvp2018:
Market forces. Runda and westland is expensive because you can build a nice house and get rent as high as 5,000 dollars a month. That annually is 60,000usd. So if you buy 1/2 an acre (or 1/4 for a few places) - you can see ROI in 10-15yrs. And you can still sell it for more than you bought.So places like Runda, Muthaiga, Nyari, Gigiri, Rossyln, Lower Kabete, Kitusuru, entire westland and all the way to Karen - rent for apartment start at 1,000 usd - and goes as high as 8,000usd per month. - those are damn expensive.

Zones where gov has allowed to build high density houses - those are damn expensive. Kilimani is about to hit up - because soon they will allow more than 20 floors building...and like westland it will be another CBD.

It all down to zoning. If Nairobi was free for all mess like West Africa - our properties would be equally useless.

Look at Parklands. The first place I stayed when I came to Nairobi about 30yrs ago was Parklands - I was staying in my uncle - the places was low rise - and the day they allowed highrise - it something else

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZE1Y-e21HM&t=71s

No it's all goes down to strong penchant for stupidity...lands in the rest part of the world are not crazily expensive like you see in Kenya...this has created room for ordinary owing properties...you don't have to be Jeff Bezos before you can live and own your own house..wonder no more why you made the 91% of the lives of your citizens utterly and completely miserable..living in shacks,mud houses, Eastleigh kinda vertical slum apartment and all that.....
One would think that has expensive has you've made land properties the whole of Nairobi would be too notch but no even your best is shiit which ugly style of development...you have Eastleigh vertical slum replicated in every angle of nairobi with Westland, upperhill and CBD in the middle of it...tell me what is the difference between the rest of Nairobi (outside your three cbd's and few Karen like neighbourhood ) and Mombasa...yes that's what I thought... absolutely nothing..they looks thesame..

Sorry man there is no positive lesson to learn..like non

Just30:
Herh That woman is the dumbest youtuber I've come across

I dont know if her show is supposed to be satire or what.

she's the definition of a kenyan

Austine1213:
Lol factual, just wake up


Lol have you seen/heard DR Mumbi? She's as crazy, contradictive, illusive as they come..

So you watch DR Mumbai show

Shma:
NOT

Well know it from today "it is"..

gallivant:
Later folks. Same place same time tomorrow.

You came, cried and logged off...smh
What a boring Sad life you live Chennai..

Austine1213:
Just like government can build apartments or low cost housing

True..the analogy is perfect...
In the end the both generate revenue from the rent

gallivant:
No stupid, they show cities where they have offices or affiliate companies.

They don't have office and affiliate office in Nigeria so wby dies Lagos and Abuja always features on their forecast?..

CNN doesn't give a flying fvck about the zoo Nairobi..

Shma:
If things.?

Should I even be replying this?..smh
Without being told you know it's the autocorrecting effect

mtisTheQubit:

which cnn or aljazera do you watch ? dude Nairobi an Mombasa iswhere tourists wanna visit

How many tourist..less than 1m is not worth an atom of hype from CNN..

gallivant:
You have nothing on the sort in Nigeria, what makes you think you can afford such in Kenya? Show us something of the sort in Nigeria and quit crying Sammy.

Something of which sort..help me narrow it down so I can post what you desire to see...

We can afford just check your news...we are a Ong your top home buyers remember
We leave that sector crumbles to the ground

rvp2018:
I am telling you land you can afford - 30 -60kms from Nairobi - is affordable. As for Runda - and land below 30kms of Nairobi - if you don't have 1M dollars for an acre forget it.

What lesson should I take from ridiculously increasing the price of your land for Kenyatta and sonko's selfish games..

gallivant:
Read the title of the thread. Where do you see Ghana, hobbit or dwarf there? Stop seeking relevance here. Wrong thread hobbit!

Ghana stays, kakamega can't dictate shiit.

Shma:
it's true, that's how your bro is.
I'm good at reading minds

Tshhkkk you are bad at it

You apparently also love cheerleading other peoples comments. It's probably for the best doofus.

It's a point that concerns my country, and most importantly it's a fact...
Deal with your insecurities..

Shma:
the guy once told us to post kibera where average kenyan leave .
He once said kenya has one city.
He once said kenya is far from underdeveloped.
Recently he said kenya matatu are ugly noisy staffs, how I wish he should have known how Chris brown and other foreigners loved it..
But it's life you know.
Maybe we should start keeping quiet enjoy justo30 and Nigerians show.

You are naive as fvck...
Is matatu ugly and noisy or not?
Did he come to Kenya?.. NO..
You made a painting of him on your hideous matatu and posted it on Instagram..y'all reposted and reposted until it got to him..he like it and that was all..
To him.yall are yet again another of his fan that daily idolize him in whatever way possible..

mtisTheQubit:
now i think ya smoking egbo weed....
nairobi an mombasa is the daily talk of the called western media houses

It's a global News network..they talk about everything..I was talking about weather forecast which shows how recognised your city is globally and on the ground scale of things...

gallivant:
In Nigeria and other West African zoos they ask for monthly income annually. If you consider the poverty rates no wonder they live in tins in Nigeria.

Live in tins..no you are hallucinating under the effect of that toxic changaa' ...

Thanks to covid19 expect more homelessness in Kenya and more replica if kibera style slum...nigga has been locked up with no source of income and they are expected to pay monthly...the landlord are not there for charity service...

Austine1213:
Governments also build malls to generate revenue via rent

He also doesn't know that..just love heckling for the sake of it.

rvp2018:
Abuja btw has never been highly regarded by anyone outside Nigeria. Maybe a courteous kenyan in Abuja who doesn't want to hurt you feelings

Lol the world of a defeated man at bolded who knows the truth but lives in denial...

Abuja has always been on the international scenes just like Lagos....Nigeria always features two cities on CNN,BBC, Aljazeera weather forecast ..forget Mombasa cos Nairobi barely makes mostly when it from aljazeera or CNN.
