Again... Hobbit... You can defend that hobbit land... Land of short neanderthals instead of engaging in a war that doesn't concern your weeny underdeveloped zoo.
samorobo: Nairobi cbd. A slum city indeed. Integrated slumpolis.
Can you note the difference? Or you have chronic glaucoma?
This pic you've just posted is blurred, no clear landmark and whatnot. If I say that is not Nairobi; how will you prove otherwise? Though; from the look of things, I can see a well planned concrete --- though the image looks pretty much old.
Now check this. This is an entire CBD. If you noted the difference, we should now be talking about a pure concrete vs shacks and shanties.
Yours is the latter. No zoning - no building code -- slum LRC, ugly dilapidated buildings --- a clear definition of a failed state.
obaaderemi: 60% of the people living in Nairobi live in slums, in essence 60% of Nairobi's population live in 5% of the land if your claim is anything to go by.
So who occupies the better parts? Indians, white settlers and a few black Kenyans mostly corrupt politicians.
People starving in Kenya are not few. Millions of people can't be categorized as few. You're inhuman to say the least.
You got problems and they're huge, and unsolvable.
World bank disagrees with you.
To set the record straight, going by WB source; more than 50% of Nigerians live in slums. That equates to more than 110M humans( that is twice the Kenyan population)
obaaderemi: You don't have some slums in Nairobi. You have many slums in Nairobi. Africa's biggest and deadliest slums are to be found in the middle of the shithole called Nairobi. That's a shame.
And your starving population is not small. People and animals are actually dying of hunger in Kenya. It's biblical plague level starvation. Remember we've been talking of this since 2017.
IRONY
Lagos is a slum integrated whilst Nairobi is a well-planned decent city, with slums occupying less than 10% in hidden zones.
The difference here is huge. For a city to be integrated with slums; it becomes a slum. We don't call your country a zoo for no reason.
For EXAMPLE: You don't need a one on one encounter to convince a kid in America or cameroon that this is a slum more than a city.
For the guys of old pics:
The Nigeria of 2020 is worse than the Nigeria in 2000. So I'm basically posting a decent pic of the entire Lagos.
Kazikazi: I mentioned tala as example of those tiny stuff you are busy shouting and making a loud noises.Those start-ups like tala,glovo which I also mentioned and others don't employ many people hence you don't have to make too much noises since they can't put a dent in your high levels of hunger and poverty. I gave u just one example of what real stuff look like.... Sino tan kibaha industrial park which will employ 100,000 folks directly, and 300,000 indirect. Altogether,about 1m folks will be lifted ftom poverty in the United republic. Many many other similar projects are in the making.But I know,your little brain can't grasp this stuff,you even thought that is a construction company! Goose I am talking about factories here.Humongous factories which will employ 100,000 folks.These are formal jobs. We are not in same levels.Go look for others to argue.TZ is not your league.we compete with SA and Egypt
That's why I said you're dumb. Comparing a construction company with a tech startup is a bottom-barrel nut case. Selective amnesia drove you to pick a substrata of the total $500M ( bone of contention) startup worth. That's why you're still bamboozled. You literally don't understand what you're saying. Tala + all other startups in Kenya is a hint. It shouldn't be this rocket science to complicate. Try engage that punt brain and think.
You can't start competing Egypt when Uganda and Rwanda are giving you headache, talkless of Ethiopia.
Kazikazi: The only thing that company did well is to design Tanzania port authority headquarters. Big up to all Tanzanians worked hard to design that stuff under your kimani. The rest of his designs were just crap.Bunge house in dodoma was awkwardly designed.The arusha African posta headquarters I am not impressed, he could have done far better.I suspect a guy is bribing to get those tenders.
But anyway,how is hunger in hustler nation?
Yes, I posted TPA because that is the only impressive building I've seen so far in Tz(fortunately to you, done by kenyan.) The rest like bunge or whatever you're talking about are ugly and I can't waste my time posting them here.
Climate change is still wreaking havoc in N.E & Eastern parts. Animals are dying and food drying up. Good thing is that we're handling the situation meticulously. No human will lose a life due to a lack of everything(rain, security, food, water....). If the situation was the same in Tz, we wouldn't have neighbors in south by now.
Kazikazi: Taa employ20 people in Kenya. Is that something so huge that you should shout about? Sometimes I don't understand you black african folks. Here you have,a starving nation,with Alot of folks living in mud houses in urban areas,with all those high poverty rates,but surprisingly, you celebrate about thesSafaricome small start-ups like glovo which can't put a serious dent on your high poverty levels. Dont get me wrong though, I don't say they are not needed,but rather,Am saying they don't deserve all these huge noises and echoes.
You can't celebrate too much on something which employs 120 folks. That's stupid. In TZ,just one project,Sino tan kibaha industrial park will employ 100,000 jobs directly, and about 300,000 indirectly, and in total, all in all, about 1 million folks will be lifted out of poverty by just this one project alone. And many other similar projects are in various stages of implementation. Do u understand my son?
Mr, we're talking about tech startups, not construction companies. Know the difference. And even so, largest companies in Africa like MTN(south Africa,) and safaricom( Kenya) don't pass 20k EMPLOYEES(forget about hard labour jobs like mjengo, I'm talking about a proper formal employment) 100,000 Direct jobs for a single tiny company like kibaha park is fallacy; even if you add both mjengo guys. What you're displaying here is lack of knowledge and obtuseness. If you can't comprehend simple topic like this, then you're a waste of time. You're a disgrace to the dimwits fraternity.
Secondly: I'm not sure if glaucoma is the one doing you, or cognitive impairments. Sturtups is not TALA or TAA the way you put it. Tala is a single Startup company among several. And yes, it's worth more than $B. That is enough to unshackle Tanzanian's living standard from malnourishment & poverty. Also, no one is hyping over anything. Posting information is not equal to hype. Again, know the difference.
rvp20182: When you write such tortured argument dont wonder why TZ companies use all means possible including illegal one to hire Kenyans to work in your industries, companes, hotels, name it. Obviously you rarely will see kenya informal traders because TZ police and people would make their life hard. I have two friends working in TZ - both are engineers - one works legally - the other the company sneaks him - for few months - and then he out - because your people are PLAIN LAZY USELESS.
Not just engineers doing wonders in Tz. Architectural firms are doing marvelous work in that country. With that glimpse of info, search for this guy James kimathi. He's the reason behind the TALLEST BUILDING IN TANZANIA, TPA. Kenyans are building Tanzania.
Kazikazi: After all the hype and noises,just break it down for me,how many employments have been made in those start-ups.
Glovo for instance has more than 2k employees. Tala has 4k plus. Don't ask stupid questions. Try Use your brain to decompound the task. Don't be lazy; ignorant; and a buffoon. You're embarrassing east Africans with your thinking approach.
GeneralDae: Data on the first quarter of 2022 shows that majority of the funding has gone to four countries. Nigeria leads the way with $600 million, followed by Kenya with $482 million, South Africa with $228 million, and Egypt with $202 million.
You can also check the startup ecosystem report for 2022 - it's different yes but close to the topic. It's South Africa, Kenya then Nigeria in that order.
GeneralDae: I think Nigeria has way more start ups still than South Africa except maybe you are talking of countries with ease of having startups but even at that I doubt Nigeria is behind. I don't like quoting Statista but even Statista puts total number of startups in Nigeria at 2020 as 3300 while South Africa was a far second at 600. This year 2022, Nigeria still leads, Egypt is second, Kenya third and South Africa fourth.
Yoh. We're in 2022 _ living in a dynamic world. You can lead today, tomorrow you're trailing. Kenya and south Africa are all in booming seasons. Competition is stiff at the top level.
I wonder where this dude gets the energy to spew all these gibberish; when 90% of them are lazy and dumb as hell. They are extremely backward in the social sphere, and with their paltry economy; Kenyans(40%, ) Indians & whites(30%) and other nationalities (20%) carry their burden. They are only left with 10% [60% out of it being wasafi/diamond and nature(diamond, copper, animals)]. Productive population Zero( save the few artists. ) Professional beggars; top of the ladder.
Dude is busy trying to flex muscles with their king. ( with zero minerals, terror boarder, huge dry land and whatnot) He should be guided
Son,when will you guys stop eating dead meats? Hunger isn't a joke,so sad
Kazikazi: All Africa's subsaharan black nations are underperforming. The only thing most of these nations are doing better is cooking data.
Just look here,Kenya has more millionaires than Morocco or Algeria. Ghana has more millionaires than Algeria And Tz millionaires have just vanished from around 5,000 in 2019 to around 2,000 in 2022
Kazikazi: Now I have to give up. What I like about African elections is about hidden stuff which are unearthed concerning people's well-being and their daily struggle. In most of these nations,food is a big story hence you see politicians bribing their electorates with a mere ordinary cheap meal.I can't understand it,are these africans too poor to the point of being bribed by a piece of chapati?
Kazikazi: A hustler nation is full of lies.What's funny though,most of those fake roads which uhuru claimed to construct has no tendering documents.You just get the kilometres of roads being documented as constructed,but no tenders were given,no proof of payments made whatsoever
Everything about you is Kenya this Kenya that. You're typically sounding like a ret@rd. Kill that inferiority complex before it consumes you, Annel.
rvp2018: I don't think my daughter as brilliant as she as is has my exceptional brain...I had house fully paid by 24yrs...2yrs after graduating..I have done crazy shiet yo can only hope to do one day. You need accept that some if us are better than you.I have never had to struggle in my life.Move on my friend..by 3rd year in campus I was already working for united nations ..quit and formed a startup..please focus on your life...
samorobo: Mombasa is not different from Ibadan neither Nairobi that different from Lagos. Let that sink,nothing special about this Nairobi or am I seeing something else here.
Upperhill and westlands are works in progress. Expect not much in Horizontal infrastructures. albeit with her current defacto state; it's slightly better than Lagos.
Give upperhill & westlands just 2yrs. Road markings, upgrades and rehabilitation will transform it into a world-class CBD.
Watch this video and tell me if there is any place in Lagos anywhere close.
obaaderemi: Whatever we built up till now, we built ourselves. Not like Nairobi founded by the British and Mombasa founded by Arabs.
Ignorance at its core.
Lagos was named by Portuguese, lago de curamo meaning the lake of curamo. Portuguese built Lagos, hence why you have huge built-up area of ancient buildings( Portuguese architectural designs) per square mile. British came and saved you from slave trade. They established foundation for lagos development; gave you fighting equipment, helped you name your cities etc...
Now, who contributed to Lagos modernization? From Portuguese, brits, now you're fully colonized around 1860s then boom. CREOLES! ( mostly French and Spanish)... These people are the reason why lagos is there... They started building your zoo from scratch.
Around 2000... When lagos took full control of her city, we started seeing shambolic, slums, shanties, open sewages, open defecation , zero family planning ( hence why you pour children like rain) etc sprawling LRC...
In 2022 JLL report, Nairobi is ranked 10th most dynamic city in the world. Technology is a significant driver of momentum in the world’s fastest-changing cities and is the key reason for Nairobi’s rapid shift up the rankings into 10th place this year. Nairobi is the only African metro included in the CMI’s Global Top 30.
Zombies saying brits built Nairobi, should check their heads. What was built in the 60s ain't anywhere close to the current development, despite our zero minerals. The Hobbits should be the last people to speak. In fact, they should not even speak at all. they are still under gruesome torture & slavery in Chinese mines, That is post-colonialism- if it happens in Kenya; the next day or a few hours from the event you're deported and forgotten. Hobbits don't even have a city; just some low-standard villages like towns and markets and they are busy dictating who builds what and whatnottt, smh.
