The deflecting is intense. The more you try the narrative the more it seems child prostitution is a cornerstone of your society. I have no choice but to pray for West Africa.

Reverse psychology, I get it...

So long as it makes you feel better..

AskiaHarem:
Many Kenyans are shameless...... To think the Kenyans themselves try to deny this and do nothing while there daughters sell there bodies to whoever in there own land! Kenya is a Crown LovePeddler Colony.

The thing with the kenyans is that they love talking about your flaws but they hate it when you do the same to theirs......it's practically taunts their minds..
You can imagine MtistheQubit once said we shouldn't talk about prostitution because he feels we prostitute in Europe but yet their "zoo cesspool" is the capital of child prostitution ..Tell me which is more appalling adult prostitution or 8-10 year old kid prostitution......

gallivant:

https://www.nairaland.com/5563443/abia-armed-robber-grave-finally[/s]

Is it normal that you have no sense?

I must say this is actually quite funny...I knows folks that were constantly grasping on straw just to give a certain east African zoo city a pass mark over Lagos yet mightier cities were ranked badly as well.Does that mean the slum capital should be compared with New York, LA, San Francisco and oh Kuwait (the baddest of all), what of The city that was not built in a day "ROME"....LOL I MUST SAY it feels good to be ranked amongst this cities...A sign of global significance,importance and of course domimance I must say..

San Francisco worst place to live
San Francisco was voted one of the worst places to live in the world and the worst place to live in the US.
It’s no surprise that a place like Kuwait City would be considered the worst city to live on the planet, but according to a new survey from InterNations—a network and guide for expats worldwide—three cities in the United States are among the 10 worst places to live. The 2019 list of the world’s 10 worst cities to live has just been revealed and is based on InterNations’s third annual Expat City Ranking 2019, a poll of 20,259 expats around the globe. The survey looks at factors such as work life, the quality of urban living and the local cost of living. Compare these results to a recent report on the 20 most dangerous places to live.

The US cities considered the worst place to live include San Francisco (coming in at number 77 of 82 cities worldwide), Los Angeles (ranked 76) and New York City (ranked 74). “It is a bit surprising that three major US metropoles landed in the bottom 10. While Los Angeles and San Francisco are featured in the survey for the first time, New York City dropped down 28 places since 2018,” says Malte Zeeck, founder and co-CEO of InterNations. ”Finance and housing as well as the local cost of living are major pain points for expats there.”

All three cities also perform poorly in the Quality of Urban Living Index, especially regarding the availability and affordability of healthcare. Los Angeles also receives very bad ratings in the local transportation subcategory.

San Francisco worst place to live
San Francisco was voted one of the world’s worst places to live partly because of its expensive housing.
According to Zeeck, New York has continuously lost ground since 2017 when it ranked 32nd out of 51, overall. The city ranked 46th out of 72 cities in 2018. “Compared to the previous years, one factor especially caught my attention,” says Zeeck. “New York was the easiest city to get used to the local culture in 2017 and now only ranks 26th for this factor. On top of that, while the city always ranked in the bottom 10 for the cost of living, it can now also be found among the ten worst cities in the Finance & Housing Index.[/b]”

Indeed, all three of the worst-ranking cities are regarded very negatively for housing and finance. San Francisco comes in second to last in the Finance & Housing Index, ranking last worldwide for the affordability of housing—with only Dublin performing worse in the index. “New York and Los Angeles are not much better off,” says Zeeck.

All three cities also perform poorly in the Quality of Urban Living Index, especially regarding the availability and affordability of healthcare. Los Angeles also receives very bad ratings in the local transportation subcategory.

New York City worst place to live
New York City—a great place to visit, but voted one of the worst cities to live in the US.
On the other hand, there were some encouraging results for New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles, says Zeeck: “All three cities receive their best ratings in the Getting Settled Index, which might be thanks to the international and intercultural vibe of these cities.”

Of the 82 cities worldwide, a total of seven US cities are featured in the ranking, and their results were mediocre. Rounding out the list for US cities are Miami (coming in at number 27), Houston (ranked 35), Chicago (ranked 37) and Boston (ranked 58).

In Houston, expats continue to be unhappy with the quality of living in the city but rank it among the top 10 overall for both the Finance & Housing as well as the Local Cost of Living Index. The city’s weakest spot is its quality of urban living, where expats are especially unhappy with local transportation. “Together with Chicago and San Francisco, Houston is also among the worst three US American cities for personal safety,” says Zeeck.

Miami best city to live
A view of Miami, voted the best city to live in the US.
In 2019, Miami comes in 27th place out of 82 cities, making it the best US city featured. Since last year, Miami’s results have improved. “Expats are more satisfied with the quality of living, the ease of getting settled and the urban work life,” says Zeeck. “However, it seems that the cost of living have risen, and the housing situation has gotten worse.” It even ranks among the top 10 in the Getting Settled Index. Expats feel at home in Miami and find it easy to get used to the local culture. A factor in the Quality of Urban Living Index that cannot be actively controlled is also loved by expats: the local climate and weather. “On the downside, it seems like the city could improve its local transportation system,” says Zeeck.

The best city in the world to live is Taipei, which has a high quality of life. “It is interesting to note that the top four cities worldwide are all located in Asia: Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, and Singapore,” says Zeeck. “They also all rank in the top 10 for the second year in a row.”

The only North American city that made it into the top 10 is Montréal, which ranks fifth worldwide this year. “It ranks far ahead of other cities in the region, such as Calgary on rank 19,” says Zeeck.

Read on for the list of the 10 worst places to live in 2019, along with comments from some survey respondents. We also list the 10 best countries to live. You can view the complete list here.

Kuwait worst city to live
Kuwait City, voted the world’s worst city to live.
The World’s Worst Cities to Live

[b]1. Kuwait City (overall, ranked 82 out of 82 countries): Kuwait City ranks 82nd out of 82 cities, coming in last place. A British expat dislikes the “long working hours and six-day weeks,” adding that “the Kuwaiti attitude towards foreign workers, especially low paid workers, is poor.” “Local citizens are not friendly,” remarks an Indian expat. “There is no respect for expats in this country.”

2. Rome (ranked 81 overall): Rome is again voted the worst European city for expats, placing 81st out of 82 cities in the Expat City Ranking 2019, only ahead of Kuwait City on a global scale. “It is difficult to find a job here,” an expat from Turkey explains. A Spanish expat comments that “the cost of living is too expensive and salaries in general are low.”

3. Milan (ranked 80 overall): Milan comes third to last, in 80th place out of 82 cities, ranking low across the board. The city performs particularly poorly in the Urban Work Life Index, and it is the world’s worst-rated city in terms of job satisfaction. A German expat complains about the “bad balance between income and cost of living.” “The political situation is changing,” a Polish expat observes. “Foreigners now have more problems to register, use healthcare, and buy a house!”

4. Lagos, Nigeria (ranked 79 overall): Lagos ranks among the worst cities for expats in the world .Expats are especially unhappy with the local transportation, political stability and their personal safety (38% vs. 9% globally). “There is no safety,” says a Russian expat, “and no proper public transport is available.”

5. Paris (ranked 78 overall): Placing 78th out of 82 cities, Paris ranks among the bottom five cities for expats. The Getting Settled Index (81st) is Paris’s worst area, coming ahead of only Kuwait City (82nd). Close to two in five expats find the Parisians generally unfriendly, and an Australian expat bemoans the “lack of good friends.” Paris is also one of the world’s worst cities in the Finance & Housing Index. “Everything is just so expensive,” says an expat from Portugal, “from housing to food and basic items.” While the city also ranks well for local leisure options (24th), the same cannot be said for personal safety (66th). In fact, 17% of expats say they feel unsafe in Paris, compared to 9% globally.

San Francisco worst city to live
Victorian houses at Alamo Square in San Francisco, voted the worst city to live in the US.
6. San Francisco (ranked 77 overall): San Francisco is not only the worst US city at 77th place out of 82 cities, but it is also the world’s worst city when it comes to the local cost of living (82nd) and the affordability of housing (82nd). One Peruvian expat explicitly points out that “prices in San Francisco are very high.” On a more positive note, San Francisco comes second in the world for local career opportunities, only beaten by Boston. One Canadian expat praises the city’s “unmatched career opportunities.” But these opportunities come at a price: San Francisco is ranked low for job security (78th), work-life balance (78th) and working hours (80th).

7. Los Angeles (ranked 76 overall): Los Angeles ranks in the bottom 10 cities and expats do not have many positives to share. However, the city is definitely loved for its local climate and weather (4th) — only beaten by Lisbon (3rd), Miami (2nd), and Barcelona (1st). “Weather in LA is the best!”, says an expat from Brazil. On the downside, Los Angeles is voted one of the worst cities for local transportation, and the over-reliance on cars and the “heavy traffic” are often mentioned by expats as some of the city’s downsides. Also, Los Angeles is ranked as one of the world’s most expensive cities in general (73rd) as well as for housing specifically (75th).

8. Lima (ranked 75 overall): Lima is the only Central and South American city in the bottom 10. The city ranks worst in the Quality of Urban Living Index, and almost three in five respondents are unhappy with local transportation, and close to three in 10 worry about their personal safety. A Belgian expat complains about “general insecurity, poor public transport and expensive healthcare.” On a positive note, more than half the respondents are happy with the cost of living (an expat from the USA likes how the “every day expenses are much more affordable”).

New York City worst city to live in the world
New York City, voted one of the worst cities to live in the world.
74. New York City (ranked 74 overall): New York City finds itself in the bottom 10 cities. It performs poorly in most subcategories and is even placed in the bottom 10 for finance (73rd), health & environment (75th), work-life balance (76th) and local cost of living (81st). Around six in seven expats rate the local cost of living in New York negatively, and over three in 10 even describe it as very bad.

72. Yangon (ranked 73 overall): In 73rd place, Yangon is the only Asian city that ranks among the bottom 10 in the world. On the upside, Yangon’s locals seem to be one of the expat-friendliest worldwide (“Myanmar people are good and very easy to work with,” says an expat from Sri Lanka). But the low Quality of Urban Living Index puts it far behind other cities. “I do not like the poor healthcare system,” says a South Korean expat. In fact, more than half of the survey participants are not satisfied with the available healthcare or the local transportation in Yangon, and 31% rate the local leisure options negatively.[/b]

Taipei City
Taipei, voted the world’s best city to live.
The World’s Best Cities to Live

1. Taipei: For the second year in a row, Taiwan’s capital claims the top position as the best city to live in as an expat. Expats are particularly happy with Taipei’s high quality of life, ranking the city third worldwide. “The cost of living in Taiwan is cheaper compared to Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong, for example,” says an expat from India. “And Taiwan’s health insurance and safety are what make it attractive to me.”

2. Kuala Lumpur: “It is easy to blend in with the culture, the food, and the people,” explains an expat from India, “and the language is not a problem if one can speak English.” A British expat states that Kuala Lumpur is “easy on the wallet, easy to travel to/from” and names the “availability of nice places to live at reasonable cost” as a bonus as well. “The work prospects for foreigners, especially the ones educated in Malaysia, are getting smaller within these borders,” explains a Bangladeshi expat.

3. Ho Chi Minh City: Coming in third worldwide, Ho Chi Minh City ranks well in all areas of the Expat City Ranking besides the Quality of Urban Living Index (63rd). “It is easy to deal and work with the people here, and the cost of living is good.” In addition, 88% of expats find the locals friendly towards foreign residents (vs. 64% globally). The only blind spot seems to be the quality of life in the city. “I do not like the dirty streets, the bad environment management, the missing awareness about plastic, but also the very bad garbage management. Everyone throws their waste on the streets,” a German expat complains.

4. Singapore: Not only compared to all Asian cities in the Expat City Ranking 2019, but also worldwide, Singapore stands out in terms of safety. In fact, every respondent in Singapore (100%) rates their personal safety positively. However, the local cost of living seems to be a disadvantage. A South African expat explains: “The high costs of basic needs such as healthcare makes it difficult, as well as the high transport costs when traveling by car or taxi.” And work-life balance is Singapore’s weakest area. “I feel strong pressure at work, and everything is planned and pre-shaped,” a Swiss expatriate complains.

Montreal best city to live in North America
A view of Montreal, voted the best city to live in North America.
5. Montréal: When asked about their favorite aspect of living in Montréal, one Dutch expat mentions the “living accommodation,” while another from the US states “affordability.” A Mexican expat shares that there are “lots of activities all year long.” In spite of this, Montréal only ranks 41st in the Quality of Urban Living Index. “The weather is a hassle”, says an expat from Brazil, and “winter is too long and cold,” according to a Venezuelan expat.

6. Lisbon: Lisbon has been voted among the top 10 cities worldwide for getting settled (6th) and the quality of life (10th). Expats are not only happy with Lisbon’s local leisure options (10th) but also with the local climate and weather (3rd)—only Miami (2nd) and Barcelona (1st) do better in this regard. Lastly, more than nine in ten expats rate the quality of the environment positively, and one Canadian respondent emphasizes “the geographical beauty” of Lisbon. On the downside, Lisbon ranks low in the Urban Work Life Index (50th). An expat from Ukraine states that “career prospects are slow, and the level of income is lower in comparison to other EU countries,” while another expat from Russia dislikes the local “job opportunities and salary.”

7. Barcelona: Nearly every expat is happy with the local climate and the local leisure options in the city. There are “lots of social activities, cultural activities, and art,” sums up a US American expat. Barcelona also ranks among the top 10 in the Health & Environment subcategory. However, expats in Barcelona are less happy with the work life (42nd) and with finance and housing (42nd).

8. Zug, Switzerland: Zug is not only the highest-rated city in Switzerland, but it also offers the world’s best quality of life. In fact, not one respondent in Zug is dissatisfied with the local transportation, the quality of the environment or their personal safety (vs. 9% globally). What is more, Zug is the only Swiss city that places among the top 10 in the Urban Work Life Index (5th).

9. The Hague: The Hague performs particularly well in the Urban Work Life Index (13th), and expats vote The Hague among the top 10 worldwide in the Job Security subcategory (5th). When asked to share what they dislike most about life in The Hague, a British expat mentions “limited career opportunities in my specialized career,” and a Bulgarian expat shares: “I cannot find a better and higher paid job.” One Turkish expat lists the “weather conditions” as one of the worst features of living in The Hague.

10. Basel: Expats rating the quality of life very highly (6th) and are particularly happy with their personal safety, the local transportation system and the quality of the environment. A Belgian expat particularly enjoys the city’s “central location, the good transportation systems, and the mountains.” However, “the locals are not really open to making friends,” states an expat from Venezuela. “This makes integration more difficult.”

Nigeria: Chinese Investors Sign MOU for Construction of 5200 Housing Units in FCT, Others
FacebookTwitterWhatsAppFlipboardLinkedInRedditEmailShare
2 DECEMBER 2019 Premium Times (Abuja)
By George Ogala
A group of investors from China on Monday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a Nigerian firm, Zvecan Consulting and Engineering Ltd, for the construction of 5200 housing units in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The MoU will see the Hebei Province Investors of People's Republic of China carrying out business in Nigeria's infrastructure, health, solid minerals, mines, and agriculture sectors.

Speaking during the MoU-signing ceremony in Abuja, Li Kai Ying, Executive President of Hebei International Investment Promotion Association, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that China remained committed to achieving targets.



He said the meeting will increase and improve trade agreements and bilateral relations between the two countries.

Mr Li said, "We have brought more than 18 delegates from China that cut across various industries, such as manufacturing, investments, the medical profession, and so on.

"We are here to look out for opportunities in the Nigerian market because the country is the most populous in the continent of Africa. So the more people make up the population the bigger the market.

"So if we really want to come into the African market, Nigeria will be our first choice. We feel so impressed by what we have seen so far and we are happy with the organisers and government's willingness to encourage Chinese investors to invest in Nigeria."

Also speaking, Mohammed Sadiq, Bauchi State Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, who also signed an MoU on solid minerals and agriculture, said the agreement would further deepen their trade relations.

He said they had brought investors that are relevant to key areas of his state.

"We are very interested and we look forward to a more robust economic collaboration. "There are laws put in place by the Federal Government which I think are good enough for investment to thrive.

"I urge the investors to explore platforms provided by the government to their advantage. Bauchi is naturally endowed with a lot of natural and material resources.

"We are looking up to a mutual collaboration to harness this to our advantage," the commissioner said.

He further said that the MoU would help improve not just the state's agriculture, but also food production capacity and security in Nigeria at large.

Nicholas Ogbedo, Managing Director, Zvecan Engineering and Consulting Ltd, said that the organisation through collaboration with Hebei Province investors would deliver affordable houses and roads in the mining sector.

He said the MoU is in the agricultural sector, which deals with the exportation of Nigerian products to China.

"It also includes the mining sector, which will be centred on the technological aspect of mining.

"The MoU involves the collaboration of the Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment and with this, it will help expand our job capacity and technological knowledge

Just30 this is are highrise tylann was boasting about the other day...bNo wonder they will never show you where average Kenyans live.....

Let's face it this is an "UGLY HIGHRISE SLUMMISH AREA".....quick advice Nuke the whole of Nairobi and start all over...

pacretus:
some females in Kenya this present age still make use of feathers, leaves, cartons as sanitary pads. Mhen!! !! I was shocked to read about it.

They are really backward...You need to see the kind of things I have watched about them on Nao Geo Wild or discovery channel....

They is this British movie I was watching the other day and one of the actress made fun of their primitive nature....she said and I quote "MY HUSBAND USUALLY FALLS AS SLEEP IN SHRUBS WHENEVER HE IS OVERSERVED, HE LEARNT THAT FROM HIS CHILDHOOD IN KENYA".....

I laughed out that day..

vaxx1:

Free advice go back to school, your grammar is so bad...we can't label this a typo error but pure illiteracy...

vaxx1:
I stop reading that link at the first paragraph. very horrible. 11 years old girl with 2 years old child . means she got pregnant at 9. Just too horrible...

""Inside a tiny house outside the city of Mombasa on the Indian Ocean coast of Kenya, 11-year-old Sabina sits on a bed, one of her breasts exposed, a 2-year-old on her back.

With an effortless click, the girl shoots a jet of saliva through the gap between her two front teeth. It lands on the floor. Then she begins to talk as she shifts the toddler from her back to her bosom.

“The father of this child is a German tourist,” she said. “He impregnated me and left the country after his vacation. I was forced to drop out of school and take care of the child""

I don't know why no one is telling them this...This is highly preposterous...An abomination in the highest order...

Nigerians can be so many things but giving out your 8-11 years old daughter to a so called white tourist all because of few dollars that won't amount to $2 is never and has never been one is f them....You try that I can assure you , you will have to answer to the community/neighbourhood where you reside before the police even come to obtain you...
The thought of it alone gives me goose bumps....

What have we not heard...Giving out your wives is another one which to me is the height of insanity and poverty... That is a big blow on the holy sanctity of marriage...I can't even deal with the thought of knowing that my partner cheated on me...
