You opinion is not worth a bucket of warm spit. Nairobi was voted 12th best city to live in by Expat. Now that is something worthwile. 4th most dynamic city. In the WORLD.

Your useless opinion is just an online rant. Provide evidence like some ranking. Not your opinion. Flap your gums endlessly if you must to deal with your envy of Nairobi
Getting angry already.
Nairobi can never make anyone jealous.certainly not this Nairobi.I speak my truth,if you have a problem with that pls go hang yourself or seek solutions. Nairobi inspires no one.

First thing first, Kenya has only 4cities: Nairobi, Mombasa, kisumu, and lately Nakuru. Point out the few cities that have roads and leave out the one that has no road for debate.

Kenya has several other towns which are more advance - with proper malls, highways and office spaces. Talk of Eldoret, Kakamega, Thika town, Lamu, Machakos, Nyeri, Bungoma, Kiambu, etc... All these towns are properly developed with highways and neat roads.

Eastern and Northeastern part of Kenya - drought infested regions, where no one is interested in staying, is developing too.


For example, these are highways from nowhere. These areas have no settlement but the quality of road infrastructure is something else.
Lol you really think Nigeria is on this demeaning level,like wtf!!!! You think we can learn shiit from your zoohuhhuh.
Eldoret

You agreed with me here that most of Kenya aside Nairobi and a few cities do not have paved roads or electricity. I asked/implied that it seems to be only Nairobi and a few cities that do not look like villages and you agreed with me. I have seen white visitors on Quora praise just Nairobi and also a few (about 3) black Americans praise Nairobi and by extension Kenya to the highest heavens, so I wonder why they only see the sky scrapers and beautiful roads of Nairobi and not look at 3-5 more cities at least. It seems to me there are not more than 5 developed cities/counties in Kenya with paved roads, electricity, banks, malls, etc.
You see some black Americans who visit Ghana and Kenya, fail to talk about the large slums in Nairobi and the development being in just a few cities but they do not shy away from highlighting both the good and bad (in terms of development) when they visit other countries especially West African countries.
Lol nothing in Nairobi is developed,at best decent,and pls don’t get me started on the rest of this chicken coop they call cities,honestly it’s not worth anybody’s time,Atleast not mine- I know better.

Wow, but Samorobo seeing all these things, it makes we wonder why foreigners and a few black Americans still praise Kenya as developed. Is it that they don't also see all these in the other cities? What is your theory?
A few comment on YouTube or random Kenyan imposters on quota shouldn’t deceive you.i fir ince don’t think Nairobi is even developed.I think the few cbd’s and residential areas is decent not developed,and that’s even by East African standard. Outside those de ent areas by East African standard exist a large pool or poverty zoo littered with slum and zero infrastructure.most towns do t even know what a paved road look like or what an electric bulb look like. Let me shock you,did you know kisum they’d supposedly third city got her first traffic light since the inception of Kenya in 2019 and it was celebrated here. And what was even more annoying is that this traffic light wasn’t even up to 5,yes 5, you heard me right.

It will take kenzoo Atleast 4-5 decade to hits Lagos level talk more of the entire country Nigeria.

My bru waterfall city is twice as big in terms of areas.... And the buildings that are already built never mind those still being built are valued at $6 billion...so yeah SA can certainly hack it..
After all SA is a richer country than Nigeria with much much bigger budgets.

The rest of your post is just delusional drivel... Like the whole Canada / Enugu saga
Now you are getting angry.you are slowly heading back to default setting,pls stay off those emotional for a bit and accept visual facts.This is like nake.d eye test.
SA waterfall is valued at $6bn whilst EAC ground infrastructure Alone is valued at $6.6bn,can you now see why SA can never hack it.

Pls tell your wealthy SA to use her riches when next you want to develop an urban centre.you can start by doing a way with the usual sandton’s and go for something more audacious,auspicious,inspiring and most of all futuristic .Basically just go for an upgrade .

The future of urban living lies ultimately in Africa and more specifically at the coast of Lagos,right there in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

The difference between waterfall is like day and night.Taje the log off your eye my bru cool

Lol for starters,it has been pointed out that EAC is bigger than waterfalls.
Lol also how is your meagre waterfall, EAC ground infrastructure alone cost about $6.6bn,you think SA can hack that.

And yes pls take the log off your eyes,EAC is not in the league of anything in Africa be it old or new development,maybe Egypt can compete but not SA.
EAC will trouble Europe and America when completed,only a few Dubai in the Middle East and a few Asian cities can give it a competition.

well it has BRTs, high-speed rail, 2 x Airports......that alone is more than EA.... Bit hey... EA has canals grin grin
Joke of a boy ,pls get serious and stop wasting my time.Lagos has brt literally everywhere so yeah Eko Atlantic will have those since it just at the tip of Victoria Island. And as for high speed rails it will have those, plus Lagos green line will be passing through EAC all the way to lekki.so yeah that’s double train.

Also why will EAc have an airport when it’s wasnt in it phase 1 plan but phase 2.it sold its phase 2 plan to another(not sure how many time I have to repeat this so my point can reach home) developer and those will have airports,stadiums. This is city (ocean city) is directly at the top of EAC. Also there is a proposed lekki airport at the lekki free trade zone( dangote refinery,lekki deep seaport and the likes are all here) so why should EAC reintroduced airport again when the closest one would be at its tip and Lagos would be having 3.can you see it’s makes no economic sense.

And also yeah by mere looking you can tell EAC is ahead of anything in Africa(very advanced asf!!),SA included.And yes it has canal running through out the city from residential quarters to district centers, and I am talking street by street. It also seats right in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean plus every single building put up there would be insanely green and energy efficient,now that right there is something the Continent can’t hack,not even SA.

This new road that was flagged off few days back is bigger and better than that Nairobi flyover nonsense. It’s incorporates bicycle lane,brt lanes and waterways which is similar to those of Eko Atlantic. Also mind you the train will pass this axis. I think the plan is to ultimately reduces the traffic gridlock in this axis by providing commuters vast transportation-al options. You are meant to be spoilt with choice and arrive at your destination in time with what ever choice of transport system you chose.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPI-RC3-Qzg

The flagging off.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPyUV_F6KH0

Also Africa’s longest bridge and first ever double decked bridge is set to commence construction Q1 2022 and this is to be done with a whopping sum of $2bn which would be financed by the private sector. Also add the ultra modern trains coming in and you see the zoo Kenya is loosing g badly always.All this is raw tax money and private sector money not loans from Chinese or Japanese that can never ever be repaid. You pay so much for meagre things like 1.4km of road.
