Shma: Is the same way Kigali looks beautiful and better than Lagos, who is dumb now
Keep quiet hoodrat, it is not by force to speak because you see other indulging in the act... Who said Kigali is beautiful and better than Lagos?...maybe idiots like you.....but yeah Kigali sure do looks better and more developed than Kenya despite the miniscule highrise/skyscraper...
By the way do you know the difference between a naturally beautiful city and an infastructurally developed/beautiful city... Weasel
Stop wasting my time with nonsense...the first view of the city I got from that video was just a mere ugly slum...the least the YouTuber could was show us blue sea island and mask the very ugly mombassa in flashing light....
Has anyone ever said lights are not beautiful?...
My video revealed mombassa infastructures in the heart of her CBD where it matters most and we all could see the broken road and total absence of sidewalks with has been ravaged by weeds.....
Shma: okay, we can't compare mombasa with Lagos in terms of infrastructure you know, but it sound ironic for you to call mombasa super ugly yet your Lagos of today looks super ugly when compared with it
You are stupid, infact where did you keep your brain...if Lagos has better infastructure tell me while a village with lesser infastructure will look better.....
tylann: It actually does the opposite A drop in oil price means Kenya will spend less in importing oil hence freeing up some cash which goes to debt repayment
You sound so insane nakuru..pls check your head again
tylann: Which debts are you ranting about Your nigerian government is also begging the World Bank and imf Most countries in the world are asking for help from the imf and World Bank Kenya is doing 3.4% now What is Nigeria doing if not recession
No we are not begging them..they are ignoring our debt as usual cos we are special....go pay up nakuru..lol
tylann: Which debts are you ranting about Your nigerian government is also begging the World Bank and imf Most countries in the world are asking for help from the imf and World Bank Kenya is doing 3.4% now What is Nigeria doing if not recession
Kenya is doing recession nakuru..
Locust invasion + covid19 +global recession (effect on debt ridden zoo) = recession... So simple Nakuru...
Corona alone has hampered the tourism industry globally..
Shma: what he said is what you will find in any reputable source, be it skyscrappercenter, emboris e.t.c
Chai...whole do you this thing sef?......did you just call skyscrapercity a reputable source.......who make post on skyscrapercity lie right here on NL if not idiots let you....... You are a special case of mumu-ism...I swear.
Shma: I have even tried to search for the tallest structures In Africa, I have seen hillbrown and the Cairo tower but nothing like millennium, seems there pillar stalled
This list of tallest structures in Africa ranks man-made structures in Africa that stand at least 150 m (490 ft) tall, based on standard height measurement. List is containing only completed structures, including demolished or destroyed structures.
It is you are a blog addict and blogs are written by idiots like you..
Wuoche: You don't make sense at all. It is because three quarter of it is inhabitable just like your Millennium. If three quarter of it could be inhabitable then the structure could be listed among tallest buildings even if it is a communication tower.
Do you know what telecommunication tower is....why are Kenyans so daft?...like whyyyyyy!!!!
Shma: Now tell me, why is your pillars not in the list of tallest buildings in Africa? ..
We don't have a pillar but if if you were referring to millennium tower then you.must know it is basically because it is under construction.....this stupid question is like you asking me why the stalled 88 condominium and the cancelled pinnacle tower was not included in your illusory list despite being at foundation level..
INSIGHTSTop 10 tallest building in Africa A quick overview of the tallest skyscrapers in Africa. AvatarPublished on September 17, 2019By Judy Mwende SHARE TWEET
The Leonardo in Sandton. PHOTO | COURTESY The history of skyscrapers in Africa began in 1973 with the construction of Carlton Centre in Johannesburg, which held the title of the tallest building in Africa until April 2019.
Having felt the prestige that comes with hosting the tallest towers in the land, it is not surprising that South Africa has worked itself up to command the lion’s share of the tallest buildings in Africa.
Here are the 10 tallest buildings in Africa:
1. Leonardo, South Africa
Leonardo is a 234-meter-tall, 55-floor mixed use development that is being finalized in Sandton, South Africa. The skyscraper is located at 75 Maude Street, about 100 meters from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
Construction of Leonardo began on 17 November 2015, and the tower topped out in April 2019 – officially becoming the tallest building in Africa.
Leonardo is 11 meters taller than Carlton Centre, which has held the continental title for 46 years.
2. Carlton Centre, South Africa
The Carlton Centre, a 223-meter-tall skyscraper and shopping center in Johannesburg, South Africa, has remained the tallest building in Africa since its completion in 1973.

With a total of 50 habitable floors, Carlton Centre was once the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere – the southern half of the Earth!
3. Britam Tower, Kenya
Britam Tower, a 200-meter-tall office complex in Upper Hill, Nairobi, was officially opened to the public in July 2018, overtaking UAP Old Mutual Tower as the tallest building in Kenya.
The 31-storey tower, whose construction started in early 2013 and ended in September 2017, boasts a very unique prismic design. At its widest, the building looks like a black pyramid with the top corner missing and from other views it becomes a more slender black prism.

4. Ponte City, South Africa
Ponte City is a 172.8-meter-tall skyscraper in the Berea suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa. Built in 1975, the 55-storey tower that was designed by South African architect Manfred Hermer is tallest residential building in Africa.
Ponte City boasts a cylindrical design, with an open center allowing additional natural light into the apartments. The building is documented as the first cylindrical skyscraper in Africa.

Located in Upper Hill, Nairobi, 163-meter-tall UAP Old Mutual Tower became the tallest building in Kenya when it opened in July 2016 after more than five years of construction.
The 31-storey building, which has since lost the title to Britam Tower, offers some 300,000 square feet of Grade A office space in Nairobi’s fastest growing commercial district.

Completed in 1979, the building houses the headquarters of former state-run telco, the Nigerian Telecommunication Limited. The spire at the top of the building serves as a lighthouse beacon for Lagos Harbor.

TayserMahrii: Thats how Kenyan police behave when pelted with stones. The mob was anti-curfew and started pelting police with stones as early as 6 PM (curfew was 7 PM). Not that I support it but is just how third worlders in general think and behave. The F the police attitude.
