I dont think problem of Africa engineers is technical; there has been no technical advancement in building a railway since 18th century; it remain civil works to flatten the ground; tire two wires together and pour ballast; or building a paved road - remain civil work to flatten the ground, foundation, pour tar or bitumen; difference is minor standards btw countries on the size and dimensions;

Chinese dont have advance tech they use to build their roads or railway compared to Africa contractors. What China have is work ethic - top notch project management - they work 24-7 on a project - and that is what makes all the difference. Generally you need maybe one engineer for every 1,000 workers.

Africans have been sending millions of it professional to train, school, live abroad - but they come back to - to find a culture that reward laziness, corruption and they get used to it.

Few countries that have succeeded in Sub Sahara Africa in stamping out laziness or lack of discipline for me has to be 1) Rwanda 2) Ethiopia. Ethiopia under Meles were able to build about kilometres(not sure) of railway entirely on their own. Rwanda have done incredible job to build discipline in their society.

Chinese are doing great because they work harder than anybody else - they work 7 days a week almost for 12hours everday if not more - Japanase and South Asians generally do the same - that culture of hardwork is what is totally lacking in Africa.
Lol alll this noise for what exactly? Oga get your locals to incorporate with the Chinese in construction or fold your hands and watch them keep giving you substandard infrastructure like your entire sgr and more recently that stretch of road that will faded out in 6 month max

The problem with you is EGO. EGO of sitting in a 30% white-dominated land and thinking you've made it in life. Ego is now telling you that skyscrapers are something outdated, and as we advance, we should not talk about them - when the world's top-notch engineers are busy planning on how to advance to 1km + super tall.

Anyway, Johannesburg has more taller buildings than any country in Africa. The tallest building in Durban will be dwarfed by UAP, talkless of GTC or Britam.
He is not speaking about tallest he is saying Durban has more skyscrapers than Johannesburg but Johannesburg appear to be more advanced abd Nairobi is struggling real hard to compete with Durban in anything.
He has the right to have that ego.if Kenya was SA you will be just as egoistical if not more than he is his. Suck it up and develop your zoo. So you can be egotistical. Stop whining already,it’s stale.

Lagos plans to catch up with Casablanca and Algiers
Lol should I show you receipt of SAns here rebuking Kenya and saying Nairobi looks like nothing close to anything in SA.
Pls take the ball log of your eye. Lagos future is not in Africa,we are aiming global standards,you are aiming SA and so far so good they are saying you are still not looking anything close to them.

It depend on what kind of tourist they are 1) Ghanian visiting Nigeria 2) Benin coming to Nigeria 3) Nigerian diaspora visiting with foreign passport 4) Indians and Chinese coming to work illegally in Nigeria using tourist visa.

Otherwise if you're talking about tourist coming for vacation - few people are that insane to visit Nigeria. Nobody even sell Nigeria as tourist destination.
Lol please lay off those drugs, illusion induced fantasies are associated with illegal use of drugs. Facts has it that we receive more tourist than any East African nation. Now that’s a fact you need to take to the bank and cash, no one cares about those fantasies in your head,save it fir the next idiot coming into power.

When you see a city having more scrapers coming up everywhere, you should ask yourself a very deep question. Why isn't construction stopping in that City? What are they doing that other cities aren't doing?

It’s ahead of Kenya with or without scrapes.

We should not mention skyscrapers, expressway, or Lamu port, because we have them and you don't? I mean, you have a substandard version of them, but you have them, right?

Now I see where you're coming from.. But Nairobi has more skyscrapers than Nigeria, FYI. cool
Lol please look else where you are not talking Tanzanian,you are talking to Africa’s giant. Nothing in your zoo will ever heckled Nigeria. Lamu is a dead joke going with uhuru’s administration. Lekki deep seaport is about 90% complete and it’s the deepest in this region and should be among the top 3 in Africa if not the top itself upon completion. Already I heard badagry deepseaport has started construction,now that one should be twice the size of lekki deep sea port.


Let me know when your zoo can afford Africa’s fastest high speed rail not some cheap Chinese road that is already faltering.

The skyscraper was & still is the bone of contention.

If the topic at hand was roads, I would have said the same. Development is not only gauged by roads, but also by other aspects... But that does not mean that roads are not part of developmentnt.

Why is it so difficult to swallow the fact that I, a Kenyan, understand the basic spices of development - and I know very well that skyscrapers are not the only infrastructure that measures development? Or you just want to force that narrative on us so that you can keep peddling your prejudice antics toward us?
Mumu.


Do you think your zoo can build Africa’s fastest high speed rail. All this going on here lowkey with barely any noise. If this was Nairobi there would be a million content across all social platforms.

I bet if they allowed it - they would built. The reason skycrappers are not built in developed world is because getting permits is almost impossible. Nigeria has no such excuses. Nobody has wanted to build and gov said nope...you can only build this height. You're not buiding it because there is no demand for office space.
Uggghhhh. I am not here to engage in endless argument.Lagos has height restrictions and office space demand is a boom here,don’t ask me how I know - I have my eyes.


Bottomline is scrapes or no scrapes, the mediocre stretch of road or not,Lagos is still miles ahead of you. There not you have in Nairobi that cannot be gotten in Lagos in double folds- quote me anywhere,anytime , I said what I said.

Landon is more developed than Newyork, despite New York having more skyscrapers than her.

Barcelona is more developed than Johannesburg, despite Joburg having more skyscrapers than her.

What I'm saying is, don't compare African cities with European, Asian, or western cities. Compare Africa with Africa. Like, a city in sub-Saharan Africa With no skyscrapers is a sh*thole a zoo and underdeveloped.
Lagos is better than any west African city by virtue of it having skyscrapers. It sets a certain unique landmark in town.
Lol you are a fool. I guess Algiers,Casablanca,Rabat,Tuniare shiit hole zoo for not having skyscrapers. Lol the same Casablanca that humbles anything in Kenya .

Why are you talking about the basics, which are more of a primary need - and compulsory for survival?

Let's try and talk about things that improve aesthetics & modernity.

Technology & skyscrapers are important in the modern world. Although, that does not entirely mean that skyscrapers are the only tools that define modernization or development as you may put. Some countries have invested heavily in Tech cities with low-rise buildings, and they are doing pretty much better than the majority of African nations with skyscrapers.

We should also not overlook the fact that the most developed city in the world is filled with skyscrapers - and pioneered by skyscrapers.
Same case in Africa. I believe Johannesburg is the most developed city in Africa, and at the same time, it's the only city with the highest number of Tall buildings - skyscrapers.
