tylann: we dont intergrate slums and estates in kenya slums are illegal that is why they are always demolished at any given time
slums are slums and estates are estates
And you have social housing estates that was built in the 90's and has been reduced to slums, but not to the KIBERA level....go to eastland and see what I am saying..
rvp20182: lack of enforcement of zones make your cities slumpolis like Nigerian cities.Slums are integrated within the city.It a mess that is hard to resolve.Our slums are confined to small spaces.
This is a lie...outside your 7 most popular slums in Nairobi every other part apart from Westland, CBD, upperhill,killimani are all integrated slum....Land is very expensive in Nairobi so where will and average man get money to buy land from let alone building on it...
rvp20182: Slums including Mathare, korogocho, Kibera,Mukuru and Soweto occupy 2% of Nairobi landmass.Illegaly built in valleys and Soweto...people don't invest so much in them.You cannot just erect anything in Nairobi 98%.This is true for cities like Cape town or Joburg with similar slums
You can even go as far as claiming 0.1% I don't care...in the end all those slum comibined houses 2.5 million souls....the urbanization of Nairobi is even very tiny to begin with so I am not surprise if you say it is 0.01%...
vaxx2: I internationally brought it...when You look at kenya thru such lens . skyscraper and slums sharing bandry together. you can easily see the diffrence in their development. this is a miniature city ....
The gap between the rich and poor is extremely wide...the video says it all..
In Lagos both rich and poor can integrate in the same neighbourhood...but that is not the case in Kenya..
rvp20182: Ghana like Nigeria has integrated slums - the town is slummish - there is no clear divide btw slums and non-slums. There is a lack of urban planning.
Outside , mathare, KIBERA, korogocho, kwangare and many more.....most neighbours Nairobi in are overrate jungle slum with no order probably due to maintainance.....most of this house was built in the 90's but they were let to rot and dilapidate to a slum, although it cannot be compared to KIBERA an the rest but then it is still an integrated slum..
vaxx2: This is an idiot who Google up online reading ill news .
The sex tourism of your country can make a movie
The idiot should worry about that first before digging some stupid history.....he thinks googling up history and rephrasing it to his own form.makes him smart.
mtisTheQubit: Now listen sally,i know you like to confuse stuff but neurons are not yams...
truly you are foolish...your jokes are beginning to lose worth...even if you want to create a joke mentioning neurones in the same sentence with yam is utterly stupid....
Hold your cerebrum responsible for lack of creativity...you suck
Yes and to make matters that is the road in their CBD...wonder no more why their cement consumption is low cos they are used to constructing sub standard roads....if they can have that in their CBD...I mean their most international spot, I mean the part that houses their most international and tallest building"britam tower" that alone speaks alot about their roads ...
mtisTheQubit: WA if freaked up man..deny that...its karma from ol trade..
Stick to shinning that stupid teeth of yours..you are not making any sense... I am glad you say how foolish you were hence the stupid joke to cover up...
mtisTheQubit: He just saying they way you folks argue its like ya followed by karma..reason you niggas sold your ancestors to the land of Cotton... Doyou know most AA can tracetheir roots to west Africa..I know sally you didnt know that
What karma are talking about?...So it is our ancestors juju that is causing this imaginary karma that you are talking about or the imaginary west African cooking that that rvp regularly fantasize..
mtisTheQubit: Which part of a joke did i post..nigga we did census an the results are out...Then you WAs are denying it coz in a way you though Kenya will breed like some folks i know...sorry dude no gonna happen..
Shut up and stop trying to sweetalk away the focus of the discussion.....
Below is what you said
Seriously guy have issues..You gave him kibra stats but still keep on denying it...i think ths guys had hoped for something bad...They are scared of a progressing Kenya
Obviously it is about KIBERA not your entire Kenya population... ..don't try to be silly next time
kikuyu1: Nigga, you can't comprehend a simple chart or an excel table as we've all seen during your tireless bleating on this thread. How would you get my post? Basically you LEARNED THE WRONG THINGS due to the slave trade. This along with an accumulation of bad karma from said trade is at the heart of your problems. Don't worry, though! Others got it.
Long talk....How those the slave trade nonsense related to the subject discussion..
mtisTheQubit: man ignore that guy..we call him sally the guy who skipped some classes or just the education level is just poor in naija.. Guy doesnt know stuff i tell you..
You are very stupid.,,..Your entire family cannot be more educated than I am....
mtisTheQubit: Seriously guy have issues..You gave him kibra stats but still keep on denying it...i think ths guys had hoped for something bad...They are scared of a progressing Kenya
You always say stupid thing.....this is not a joke, learn to be serious...
kikuyu1: Not my prob if you or your fangirls can't understand,son!
You were rambling foolishly.....talking about juju and some other madness induced stuff that was totally unrelated to the subject......There is no better way to put it but label an entity like you foolish..
Just30: anyone that will tell you that Singapore has better roads than London is a big liar
Thank you very much ..That was the same thing I told the unexposed village lunatics yesterday...The roads in London that is maintained almost every fvcking week ...The road maintenance team are always looking for the slightest fault in the road to fix....
Roads in London and LA has to be the best kind of road I have ever seen in my life....i don't think roads can be better than that..
kikuyu1: [s]We need some historical perspective-imo,it comes from slave trade(btw,it was HUGELY EXAGGERATED,most blacks came from Europe,losers of the religious wars and others were indig Americans but there was a long running W African slave trade)In a way I don't blame Ghanaians-on the surface they were better than Naij but share the same sociocultural DNA with everyone else in WA:an extremely unfortunate warping from centuries of slave trade. Basically they all learned the wrong things,the Beninese,Togolese,Ivoriennes,Senegalese,Gambians.Cameroonians,Gabonese etc,etc. They cursed themselves for generations learning how to make money without development in the easiest way capturing and selling fellow men. That's why til today their stagnant and/or take refuge in make believe like Katanka/Innoson and the BS we've seen here. That's why in the entire WA there's no dairy industry!? HTF does that even happen. 300 mn people don't produce their own milk,Kenyans! Its why they don't understand the basic foundation of development. It's why trust level,critical for any business is so low. It explains why there are such strict hierarchies throughout WA and why commoners are obedient unto death to their rulers. It's why there is a callousness,a contempt for human life itself commonly seen worsened in highly populated nations like Naij as the resource struggle is ofc that much harder. Why is juju,gris gris and voodoo so much stronger in Naij, Benin and Liberia not Malawi or Zim'? Tbh , until a regional acknowledgement for responsibility for the slave trade happens there'll be no release from the negative karmic energy holding WA hostage.[/s]
Stop throwing words around ignorantly all in the name of sounding grandiloquent....your write up was useless as usual and unintelligent as I anticipated.....
tylann: cooked data obivious you have not shown us anything marvelous that your cement builds
next year hahaha kenya is building this at the moment jkia expressway to westlands dualing of muranga kenol kobil road northeastern road project affordable housing
we will measure cement consumption
The fact that they have more paved road percentage than you should be marvelous enough to tell you where their cement goes to...
rvp20182: Guys, don't waste time with the confirmed zoo - Nigeria which is the world poverty capital. Let us try understand Ghana..it better use of our time. We have completely debunked and unraveled Nigeria in 5,000 pages plus.
I am back for a few hours - so as we try to debunk the lies that Ghana is progressive nation-we now know it's an IMF colony that despite being literally named Gold coast - has gone belly up 16 times - latest about 3yrs ago - I remember a story my boss once told me about Ghana.
He had joined US PeaceCorps and was assigned a mission to Ghana. He said as soon as they got to Ghana - USAID would organize a tour of massive ABANDONED projects littering the country. Ghana he told me looks like a wasteland of abandoned projects. You'd find half-completed buildings - or completed buildings with overgrown vegetation.
Now I understand Ghana, like a drunken sailor, whenever commodities prices are high (Gold, Diamond, Cocoa, Aluminum, Bauxite, Oil & Gas ) Ghana goes into massive public expenditure and borrowing, and a few years later the prices drop, the country literally goes broke, hyperinflation sets in, and IMF comes calling with AUSTERITY MEASURES.
Projects are abandoned mid-way, civil servants are fired, the usual tightening of the belt. Then commodity prices rise again, Ghana rises like a Phoenix again, starts over-spending & over-leveraging (borrowing), and soon it's back to ICU.
This is they have done a record 16 times.
Conclusion. Ghana is a primitive undeveloped economy led by morons.You can re-phrase to Ghana is an Informal economy led by political neanderthals.
Now that commodities are doing good - they are even thinking of borrowing 50B dollars - and when prices drop (and they do) - the country will sink - hyperinflation - will send Ghanians scampering out of the country like Zimbwabweans.
Lol vaxx be careful this one wants to change the KIBERA topic....they hate it when you speak about it.
rvp20182: If you go to SkyscrapperCity and try to find anything progressing in Nigeria - outside Dangote - you'd have better luck finding a needle in a haystack.
Skyscrapercity is just like nairaland where anyone can wake up one morning and create a thread based on what he must have heard, seen, or experienced on a project..most people there don't even know half the projects going on in Nigeria... I don't do skyscrapercity, I visit the project site and communicate with the developers if I have to...Nigerian user are not like nairobi user who are willing to sneak into site just to get images and post on skyscrapercity.
Abohboy: Construction in ekos tkabtic started 5 years ago sand reclamation takes time and that is something that Dubai didn't really have to deal with also we had the recession in between which slowed down the construction works there for the rest of the cities like enyimba economic city, orange island and awka millennium city their problem is funding
EYIMBA ECONOMIC CITY is a big project and has partial funding from the Chinese, the rest will have to come from either the govt or private sector....Work has started there but then I doubt if they've gone past horizontal infastructure (it started this year)....The governor of Abia returned from Johannesburg last week with more funds from the project during the Africa investment week or forum whatever.... As for orange island you can't say funding cos that project started in 2017 and prior to their last video which I have uploaded here, one could see land reclamation has been finalized with road construction which was vividly shown in that video...
Awka millennium city started two months ago and have all the funded need for the project cos it is not even so much of a project to begin with....
I track all this city project on social media for info and oftentimes communicate with some of their developers
NairobiWalker: Are the photos you posted of Nairobi from the CBD? Stop being silly. Here is Nairobi CBD from google maps.
Shuuuuushhh, lower your voice and stop embarrassing yourself...we know nairobi very well, so you can't fool anyone...The pics from Nigeriaguy is from upperhill this is from your main CBD...You are playing smart by showing us the pedestrian lane which probably is the best part of your pedestrian lane in good condition....The road matters more.
Problemkid1: Are you serious. Kaduna millennium city. I have never heard such project before. All this projects are not even that big. This shouldn't be taking too long like that sef.
You and Kenny should stop worrying you self "laro kutukutu"(lol pardon my Yoruba)......who ever told you Dubai is completed his a liar..I doubt if they've gone past second phase...why do you think Jumeirah city among others is coming up... Honestly ekoatlantic is even surprising me...for a country that is facing serious economic crises with a 2.38 GDP growthand still have about 14 towers under construction (8 towers in Eko village, Lagos sky tower, 3 towers in azuri pennisular, C tower, audacity tower, A&A ) tower, ) I will say that is a miracle... Dubai was built during oil boom...As the economy recover further so will ekoatlantic...
