of course nigeria is ahead of kenya in size of paved road network.
But your quality can't match kenya you know. ..
I guess we might be grossly above that 21k km figure. And of course not more than 23k km.

When I am less busy I will conduct a research on your true paved road network...

What quality are talking about... quality of roads varies across Nigeria..a state or city might have it more or better than another state or city...it's all about the individual govt tastes..

kevomtaani:
Going by his logic I would choose Victoria over port Louis even.

What Victoria are you talking about...
All I am saying is that port Louis is developed..it's shouldn't be underated like some backwater city....it's shockingly European in a way..

rvp2018:
Development and Development Per Capita. The US is the biggest economy but Qatar is biggest economy per capita. So in Africa we can say Joburg, Cairo,Capetown, Lagos, Nairobi and Luanda are most developed. But in terms of say development per capita then smaller cities like Widhoek, Port Louis wins.

Both if you are saying thesame thing..it's all about per capita...And going by than I am quite sure smaller European cities will have it more than New York,Chicago,London...but regardless the are still king's.

jln115:
you are confusing development with infastructure..... Development is more than just pure infastructure like buildings and skyscrapers.... Its everything from healthcare, education, housing, Internet connectivity, power supply, sewage ect ect.

From a far Lagos looks very well developed by African standards however how many people have access to power or sewage in Lagos? How many have access to Internet? Access to proper transport?access to education?

Smaller cities like Auckland can be just as or even more developed than cities like NY without having the large flashy buildings, since a larger % of its citizens have more and better quality access to the things mentioned above.

kevomtaani:
Ha port Louis is the most developed city in Africa??
clearly you are on nyaope

Port Louis should not be underated becos of their small population..the city is indeed developed
.

jln115:
yes I have.... And that was my personal opinion... The list I posted now was from Mercer

Don't you give us your personal opinion next time .okay

Jonraid:
Giant of Africa my foot!

Twitter..smh

Shma:
yeah roads also, Mombasa beats Abuja in number of posh houses, tourism services, sea port functions, hotels and restaurants,
Airport services, beauty e. t. C.

That is a very big lie...Mombasa can be we beat Abuja in posh homes...Even Abuja gives Lagos a very tough in that aspect and you are here talking of Mombasa ..the best neighbourhood in Mombasa is Nyali....go watch Nyali and come back to tell me if Nyali can hold a candle against low income neighbourhood in Abuja...

Tourism yes I can agree..thanks to Diani beach..
Seaport: Abuja is an inland city. It has no need for that...

Hotels : Never!!! Except if you are talking about resort..

Airport: Are you joking? I tackled most of this things while you were away...Abuja airport is miles ahead of that crappy, dilapidated joke you have in Mombasa...if you want videos o am game..

Beauty: what do you mean by beauty...Abuja is beautiful,maybe mombasa is beautiful cos of Diani beach..

Shma:
and I proved you wrong by saying that was only kenha's report by KRB.
Kenya in 2018 was having more than 18k of paved road. We have made huge steps since then as more kms of roads have been opened.

Check out the link, this is according to our ministry in 2018, total paved road was 18,000+, road projects in Kenya one is more than 10,000kms.

https://www.nation.co.ke/news/1-621km-of-roads-paved-in-2018/1056-5088982-view-asAMP-bhqw06z/index.html

Hey my post quoted KRA which is in charge of recording your entire paved road network...kenha,Kura are all under them..

This your link is a little confusing...I mean the dates read 2020 but quotes 2018/2019 and still uses "last year" without fully indicating which one it is(2019 or 2018)...
Let me just assume your link is anything to go by then that would mean you built 1,621km of road in Kenya in 2018(a sparsely populated Gombe state far north in Nigeria is building 1,100 at a goal in just a year)..with an expected additional of 2k km in 2019 which would make your paved road network a little above 21k km...
Dude that is still paltry..

Kuruptnigga:
Lolz Sammy jin115 is not kevomtaani or whatever. Kevomtaani is a pure Kenyan. Trust me? You just love trolling jin115

He is my lap dog..

Shma:
they release figures in bits, it's so lucky that you got one from kenha which deals with highways, now you know kenya highways alone is 13k km, now, do the same research and tell me the figures of other road authorities.
If you fail I can as well help you.

Nope what I showed you was from Kenya road board..they take account of every figure released from Kura,kenha you name it..

jln115:
Sammy seems like you are suffering from schizophrenia mate?..... Get some help

No you go get some help kevomtaani

jln115:
It's based on a number of ranking from education, transport, Internet connectivity, housing ect ect not just power supply and Sewage...

Also this list was compiled by experts and are not my personal opinion, if you have a problem then take it up with the guys from Mercer..

But you made a list the other time..based in your personal opinion

Shma:
I will admit that the roads in Abuja outsmart those in Mombasa.
The rest of Abuja can't match Mombasa,
More.

In what exactly..ports and resorts...

You have no point..Abuja is miles ahead of Mombasa..

Kazikazi:
Dar es salaam

This is beautiful

Kazikazi:
Why do u rank Lusaka so highly? Which stuff they got there? Stop your jokes.
Maputo is far better than Lusaka.

Fact

jln115:
lol!!!

Sammy boy I have three monikers Jln115, Jl115 and Jlagain(banned for 15 years though)

Aren't you kevomtaani...yes or No

kevomtaani:
Dude cherry picking doesn't make a city great. I mean Abuja has better transport network than nearly all African cities doesn't mean it's better. I have nothing to gain or lose by saying this I've had the privilege of visiting many African countries and I have appreciation for each one of them..Accra floors Nairobi my home city in food, culture, safety I can state it here this are facts.
However which is.more developed? Nairobi of course.
same with Abuja as I said all the cities I mentioned are more developed than Abuja where Abuja floors them is on roads and urban planning period.

Hahaha this Boer is desperate
You are now a kenyan

rvp2018:
Look like Lagos is closer to Mombasa than Nairobi in terms of tall buildings..not just skyscrapers -

We are talking of the buildings at the back of the CBD mm..

Shma:
lol!, do you know what you're talking about, do you just hear things mentioned here r randomly and conclude.?
FYI
Apart from railway and stable water, All you have mentioned Nairobi beats Lagos hands down.

Roads also...so what does nairobi beats Abuja in...that his is question

Austine1212:
Cant find it?

This was what I said...you might get most of what I was Implying from this post I made to Daniel..





Yes...
I once read it would reduce the almost 3 hours long drive from Lagos to Ibadan to just 1 hour on the trains ride....
Not just Ibadan and Abeokuta, small towns and villages like sagamu,mowe,ibafo, Ijebu ode will develop...Expect to see real estate developer rushing to build homes there as it will be very profitable due to the increase in demand it will bring...heck even landed properties will start going up...
Already I can tell you for free that at that warri-itakpe station developer has started selling land close to the stations and building estates, same goes to the environs of that Abeokuta station... expect companies, industries to follow suit and also infastructures...and then gradually you are developing a city.....I would love if they map out a plan...this may even speed up the Abeokuta CBD development as investors will gain more confidence from large middle class that will flew from Lagos and start demanding luxury homes, luxury office spaces you name it..

gallivant:
Tourism doesn't exist in Nigeria. Diasporans visiting home is not tourism. Nigeria has never won any tourism award. Half of the world has travel advisories regarding Nigeria. The list is endless.

Leisure tourism in Kenya is ahead of Nigeria..so expect to win lots of those
But business,sport, entertainment.oh pls.

Shma:
loss making sgr!!?
Bro, are you just running your mouth for argument sake, sgr is one of the biggest economic contributer in Kenya
Recently, all the cargo form Mombasa to naivasha was given to sgr,
It is just a way of curbing covid anyway, but you can imagine the amount of revenue received by sgr.??

Yes loss making sgr...I am surprised you don't know that cos everyone here does...
You know what scratch that, I am no longer surprise
.you mostly don't know things

Kuruptnigga:
I have even watch their videos just now on YouTube. None of them you listed are ahead of Abuja. None

Port Louis is kinda of like a serious touristy busy city, that I can agree in...but what is in Windhoek,and heck the very empty Gaborone that is not in Abuja..like what...

Shma:
nice research,
Now that is kenhas report, go and look for kura and kws
When you get the figures, highlight them here so we can do the math.

Kura,kenha, are all under Kenya road board...
They release the final figures...

kevomtaani:
Windhoek, Pretoria and port Louis yes Gaborone No.
Lusaka is arguable remember a city is not only about roads and being planned if we go by that Windhoek and Kigali would lead. If I happen to live in Nigeria I'd definitely be in Lagos despite it being chaotic and unplanned unlike Abuja.

Oh pls shut up jiln5..

Dlonra:
The way you respond to comments says a lot about your mental issues

Lol stupid...bring that you close minded opinion close to me so I can stone you with fact and give you a taste of your own medicine...

Kuruptnigga:
So you mean Port Louis, Rabat, Lusaka, Windhoek, Gaborone And Pretoria are ahead of Abuja

.

They are all on thesame level ...
Some places we an edge over the rest and in some places they have edge over us..

kevomtaani:
You do realize that Nigeria has Africa's largest diaspora? some are even.second and third generation in their countries of birth. This is what has contributed to Nigerian tourism. When you land at Murtala you can be sure 80% of the people will be Nigerians or descendants of Nigerians. This is a huge advantage to you. Plus also the remittance they bring is crazy amounts. But when it comes to hospitality in General? Nigeria is at the bottom of the barrel even in west Africa.

Oops jiln5 I wasted my time writing all that for you...now that I won't continue further maybe until you come out as jiln5

kevomtaani:
I am 100% African bro been on nairaland since 2013.

Yes 100% Boer jiln5

kevomtaani:
I would remove Pretoria, Gaborone, Windhoek, port Louis and lusaka.
I would add Nairobi, Dar, Luanda,Addis and Abidjan.
Kigali would get an honorable mention.

Oh pls jiln5 shut up ..you become this desperate...

Kuruptnigga:
You're running away from nairobi because you know nairobi can't match. you have now switched to use two cities against one city. Damn Abuja I hail even your Mombasa can't match Enugu not to talk of Abuja

Oh pls stop this ..you are Insulting Abuja comparing with mombassa....

Let him bring videos on mombasa then you can continue the conversation with him, otherwise he is heckling and mombasa is a slumpolis..

Shma:
lol,
This is irony.
You're now pushing me to post your city.
Your zombie like scrap shanty houses located in the middle of few ugly towers ;
This is Lagos brother, your biggest city. Haven't even gone to makoko.

Haven't I told you to stop peddling old google images of Lagos in the 90's...

This images below are still quite old but they can help debunk your stupidity
..
The second pics offer a close up shot of what those buildings really look like..
