gallivant:
It's quite evident why they won't post Accra. Nakuru is more green than the IMF colony.

You mean your desert colony is not greener than Ghana ......This is logically stupid coming from you.

Theenchanter2:
its genetic. Only few of them doesn't act stupid.

Kikuyu1 is the grand patron of stupidity.

Lol...I couldn't agree more.

NairobiWalker:


I am showing you proof and you are just shouting about it. FYI Abuja's climate is not even Tropical rainforest. I wonder which school you went to.

All in all, the greenery in a city does not depend on the climate but how the city is maintained. Dubai is built in a desert yet it's greener than many African cities.

Dude Dubai lacks proper greenery.....Abuja is greener than Dubai..

NairobiWalker:
We are not talking about a country, we are talking about cities. Kenyans generally appreciate trees (interestingly, this stems from the fact that most of Kenya is dry). Our cities are lined with lots of trees and greenery unlike West African cities. This is not just boasting but the truth. I have noticed a similar thing with South African cities too. But West African cities are the exact opposite. It is like they hate trees. In a typical rich West African homestead, you are sure of finding it lined with cobblestone rather than grass. In Kenya, it's all grass and trees.

Below are typical high-end homesteads in Maitama in Abuja for instance.

Now compare it with typical high-end homesteads in Muthaiga in Nairobi.

You know you are cherry picking to your favour right...

Austine1213:
This is not city greenery

But anyway how are you

Gbam..

NairobiWalker:
For people who are used to ugly concrete jungles that is. This is Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya. That's the reason it's known as the Green City in the Sun.

Your kind won't appreciated greenery in a city.

You are still showing evil forest

NairobiWalker:
You're a joker.

We are talking of urban greenery not deep evil forest......every one has forests..

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Don't forget that life expectancy in naija is said to be below 55yrs. But at 55 years this man life has just begun!

If u check very well, all his mates he started with while in the hobbesian-like so called "giant of Africa" might b no more.

And do you know how of his mate in the UK which is also dead...

Chaleeee:
Where are people making it big all over the country? Abeg show me the place. Where are the opportunities? Or you mean opportunity to commit suicide?

Lay low in poverty while people are escaping their rathole to mansions.....

Just because it hasn't worked for you doesn't mean it hasn't worked for others..

Davash222:
And do what? To come and face harsher one here now we have Buhari as a president.
Presently, sleeping in Buses in UK is far better than sleeping in a mansion in Banana island, Lagos.
Serene environment, security fully at alert, good paying jobs to sustain, no stray bullets from untrained policemen, but in Banana island, flood fit come your bedroom come carry you enter sea.

You are a fool I am not sorry to say it...so apparently sleeping in a bus in london for more than 2 decades is better than living in banana island...

I know you are in a hurry to leave that your backwater village but atleast make use of that your small sense to input rational remarks..

Austine1213:
MISS TRUDY is also good

I barely watch her and her husband videos this days ..she has left her style and followed that of her hubby...

Austine1213:
I know lagos city is beautiful, I would prefer abuja over lagos

Yeah most people do...

Abuja is more calmer, plus it is very hard to get stucked in a traffic..all thanks to the wide roads and good layout plan...

Most lagosians find Abuja boring cos they don't get that bustling vibe like they would in Lagos...

Revolva:
Bros abeg no talk this one outside enugu have better road network Dan Lagos mainland

Hahahhaa

In what way Enugu wanna compete with almighty Lagos where and how
Enugu that is just developing a place I can't even stay more Dan a week when I visited

Abeg make person hear word compare enugu with Abuja or PH not Lagos

You know there is town and city...which did you stay in

Revolva:
Bros abeg no talk this one outside enugu have better road network Dan Lagos mainland

Hahahhaa

In what way Enugu wanna compete with almighty Lagos where and how
Enugu that is just developing a place I can't even stay more Dan a week when I visited

Abeg make person hear word compare enugu with Abuja or PH not Lagos

Lol...maybe you do live in Lagos...

Lagos is dirty, tree-less, green-less, open gutter is almost every where in the mainland, bad roads nko...

Although Lagos is trying with so many road construction but there is still so much they can do...you can drive in Enugu for an hour and not see so much as a scratch talkless of pothole or even bad road.....

Carmit:
wode Maya does more of shouting than educating.
My POV.

AiyamayA ...but the guy is very popular on the continent and even to Africans in the diaspora..

Austine1213:
Show city center

He hasn't done any video on the city centre..

Austine1213:
Julaza he's always on point

Vivian okezie I do follow but not so much
Akubeze I know
BELAMY TV I follow so much she's nigerian, she's genuine

I have only watched Belamytv once..I think last three years or so...I didn't know she that good..

Carmit:
Lol.
I hardly insult people on here.
OK maybe suffering and smiling save 2/3 times.
If fake news was a person, it def. would be suffering and smiling.

Lol..he is the king of fake news.....

Insulting sufferNmiling is waste of time...I would rather insult a stone

Austine1213:
Is abuja a city or state?

Or both?

I don't know how to put....let's just say it is a capital territory....

There is fact(federal capital territory and there is Abuja itself)....it is like saying states and their capital ..

Austine1213:
Virtue Grace is the consistent one, so she's the main one

There's Taio... I forgot his full name

But Ghanian ones are doing the most Nappie briggs, wode maya, e Sowe is just asking for experiences

Oh you mean tayosainafilms...he is my best..

I follow nappies and wode maya but lately I barely watch their videos because they keep repeating the same pattern with the same message and it is getting quite boring...I want creativity....

As for SA I follow alpha Royce (she is not so popular) and sometimes maybe JULAZA...

Do you know akubeze, Vivian okezie

ckenneths:
Only those who live here know this. Only a very few roads are bad in Enugu, and the government is a listening one.

O don't live in Enugu, I live in Lagos...I have only visited Enugu twice in my life...last year and two days ago(I am still and would be leaving soon once what I am here for is over)...I tell you Enugu has better road network than Lagos mainland...better order...you could see how neatly arranged the shops are on the streets...the facts that buildings along the road create room fort shop space makes mevafmite the city more....I love what the governor has done on pedestrian lane but I feel he can do better...let him cover bthe drainages even though BV they are clean and dry..and then convert it to more pedestrian lanes... beautify this side walls with interlocked roads, plant tress on the side walls, and encourage alot of glassy looking shop...and also let him installed streetlight on the sidewalk for pedestrians.....

That is a perfect way to rejuvenate, remodify, redesign and beautify a city..

Austine1213:
I'll check it on Google maps, though I saw it on a Nigerian vlogger "virtue grace"

The place(city) is ok, its promising

Oh virtue grace...I know her..

But I stopped watching because she finds it hard to communicate in good English and O could barely understand her.....it is as if she is forcing herself....

I feel like we have the same taste in YouTuber.....

List the names of nigerian youtubers you follow and I will do the same for SA..

Austine1213:
Why should it be about winning ?

Thats where people resort to lying, insults, fake news etc

If you don't agree show us why you disagree,

Like someone said abuja is greener than Durban but he showed no pictures of Abuja

The bolded is still in line with your first paragraph..

Austine1213:
Trash in terms of what? Or he didn't specify?

When you hear the words trash as egards to a place , what is the picture your mind create...

Yeah that was the same image I had, plus I didn't bother asking much since I wasn't expecting much from them....

He might get be wrong but then I strongly doubt he is..

Austine1213:
Lol is it clean?

I have not been to Benin..what could I possibly want to do there....anyway a friend of trade btw Benin and Nigeria and he says the place is trash....

Not my word though but his ..

Austine1213:
Good good n there?

Great fam

Austine1213:
Its cleaner right?

I am a very sensitive person...why use the cleaner when you can actually use clean....which begs the question, what do you mean by "cleaner"

Carmit:
Hahaaaaa...
Don't let suffering and smiling see this.

Lol.,...

jl115:
Now now...... If you haven't noticed, this thread is all about gloating of your sh1t hole you live in.......this thread isn't about the real sh1t that goes on, on the ground, on this thread poverty, crime, and filth doesn't exist in your sh1t hole

P. S I drove through Hillbrow not to long ago and it's not nearly as bad as you make it out to be, Mashaba did a great job cleaning up the city when he was in charge.....

Maybe you had a bad experience in Joburg, hence the hate as for me...In pSouth Africa I've never been robbed, mugged or had my car or house broken in to, I've lost my wallet 4 or 5 times(once lost it at a landfill the other time in Ikageng township) with all my money in it, got it back every time with all my money.

Just this December(18th to be exact) I left my laptop in Nandos..... For the whole holiday I thought it was at my office, only to realise on the 6th of Jan that it was in fact not at the office, had a gut feel it was at my local nandos, went there and got it back after nearly a month.

On the otherhand, went to Australia for 2 weeks, got my wallet stolen..... Twice!!

#imstaying

But you were fighting.me as though it is spotless..

Austine1213:
Beautiful greenery within the city.

Anyway how are you today?

I am cool bro...

How is life in SA today?

Nonsense comment from haters... Enugu has good network..in terms of good road network, Enugu is competing with Abuja..

Austine1213:
Joburg is clean overall

Okay sir...we hear you..
