Desperate emotional dwarf. Thanks for proving my point. This pic was taken back in 1984..

Nairobi is not in Accra league kiddo

Find yourself among your mate of underdeveloped East African countries and compete.

Accra is way up there and Nairobi the slumpolis is way down here.


Accra your wailings wont change these facts.

You may console yourself by saying that... But the reality is there

mtisTheQubit:


so i did not get what the guy was saying so i hit the comments section..waaaah.. Guys were savage.....
Anyway i beleieve Ghana is rich an should not have a Kraal city like Accra..

i blame their leaders..not for corruption but not updating to modern way of things ...

The video made me search more about Accra and other West African cities.... Even Mogadishu looks more developed.

You should have watched from around 25-30mins onwards ��

mtisTheQubit:
Ok, everywhere I look, it appears to be a ghetto. Is this all Ghana has to offer? Trully, I never thought of Accra in this way...

It appears to be an informal city designed by a dude high on something...

Accra and almost all West African cities looks like some interior villages in northern Kenya.

Just watch the video below and see how the guy is amazed by small stuff like apartments in Zimmerman estate and mere pavements that we ignore here to an extent of talking in tongues cursing their political leaders
.... .and the comments there tell you more about their cities.

They even have very lame excuses that Kenya is developed because is colder than Ghana...that even Europe is developed because of the same reason

Your recruits(army) earn about $71 while in Nigeria they earn about $120.
Your budget is even as small as it is gets stolen every year. Look at Nairobi for example and see the slums getting bigger.
You are a small country and yet poorly run. Look at the levels of starvation in Northern Kenya, do I need to post the pictures again?
Why are Kenyans braving the uncertainty and abuse in the gulf so as to escape from your hell hole?
There is no hope in Kenya. So, you would rather tax poor Kenyans to death all because you want to give them electricity and water? The same electricity you produce nothing with. Nigeria's. even With all the mismanagement still has a higher manufacturing index than Kenya.

It's just stupid if because you want to keep up with the Joneses, you tax your people madly and borrow from China against your future. You can't pay China back because you make little money. Kenya's future is indeed bleak. This is the last flickering flash before the darkness for you.
Unlike Nigeria, look at the Projects we have in the pipeline, ...Lekki Port about to be completed,.. The Dangote Refinery about to be completed,.. our railway projects, then our agricultural potentials and blossoming ICT sector, not to mention huge reserves of gas..it's endless.
It's senseless to tax your people dry and borrow against your children's future from China to fund a budget that your politicians keep stealing. Kenya is the real hell.

Hahaa says a Nigerian �
Nigeria has ten times worse problems than any problem that Kenya has...

Because we are already in 2021 - half year- and it was half a billion shy of it in 2019 - so it now definitely pass 100B - possibly now 103B - end of year 106B - if rebased - possibly 120B - overtaking Morocco.

If it was cooked - kenya budget at 36B - while Nigeria federal budget at 25B (with gazillion of oil barrels) would show.

Our ordinary taxes have doubled in less than 10yrs from 7-8B per annum - to now 17B - if you include A-I-D (not aid like Ghana) - we are talking 22B total revenues. Only 100B PLUS economy can generate such revenues.

Kenya economy is growing fast - and is about 5yrs from hitting a super-fast growth thanks to demographic dividends - we are the cusp of demographic transition and having nailed the basics - all we need is to get our industrialization flying. The basics for leapfrogging have been laid. The conditions are about met - just 5 years.

Morroco is kaput. Next is Algeria in less than 5yrs. Then we go for Nigeria (the real GDP is about 200B). Before 2030 - Africa top economies will be Egypt, South Africa and Kenya...Nigeria if oil and gas play ball could be 4th.

I think the biggest challenge Nigeria is/will be facing is instability.....
There's no one who would have confidence to invest in country where kidnappings, terrorism,economic stagnation, horrible infrastructure, illiteracy,poverty are getting even worse

Ashirioluwa:
Stay in Nigeria if you can’t get visa to a country where you can better your life and also help your immediate family.

I am not traveling to go live in any fucking African country (Kenya / Togo / Ivory Coast). All these countries see Nigeria as America of Africa.

I am already a 2nd class citizens in Nigeria. Why will I travel to a country where the minimum wage is less than $75 to live as 2nd class citizens.

I visited Kenya in 2015, you won’t believe what our people going through. No job, most of our youths mostly involved in crime in this country.

Don’t get me wrong, you can make it anywhere

Kenyans don't see Nigeria as America you poverty stricken Economic refugee, ... Stop deceiving yourself kid

Aderr:
Doesn't change the fact that Nigeria has more high rises than Kenya.
Impressive though, especially the Prism. Don't know if your gtc has been completed.

List top 30 high-rise buildings Nigeria here

rvp2018:
Yes it already largest; ignore Nigeria cooked stats; Angola has really bitten the dust with Sudan. Kenya will overtake Morroco soon.

For sure it's figures doesn't add up...I think it's real GDP per capita should be around $1,200 this year

#Copied~

John Pombe Magufuli, a LUO Kenyan was born in 1959 as John Aruna Okong'o. It's his children playmates who prefered to use the Kiswahili meaning of that name. His father, a coxswain with the then East African Railways and Harbours and originally from Seme Kanyadwera in Kisumu County, retired and settled in Tanzania, repairing padlocks (kifuli/vifuli), giving his son the third name. People would refer to the father as " the padlock repairer..
A large swath of Northern Tanzania/North Mara is occupied by the Luo. It's the border that separates them from their Kenyan kin, like the Kuria and Maasai. During the colonial period, many Luos settled in other parts of Tanzania, fishing, working in the mines or with the EAHR like JPM's father. They are spread beyond North Mara into Bunda, Magu, Geita, Buhongwa, Mwanza, Kamanga, Shinyanga etc.
In one of the recent stories on Magufuli, I read that elders from his Sukuma ethnic group had been brought to State House, Dar, to pray for him. So was he a Sukuma or a Luo?
It's like Wanga, a Luo from the Royal Luo Babito (Rabongo) who founded the Baganda Kingdom, was adopted by the Luhya to found the Wanga Kingdom in Mumias..
True. Politically speaking and even culturally, integration was important. The history of prominent people have twists and turns. Wanga's son, Matar, migrated with Owila ( Uyoma), Wanga's brother, back to Louland to found the Sakwa clan from which Raila is descended. Nyerere's mother was said to have been from the North Mara Luo where the late Owino Misiani the musician came from. She had "juogi" (spirits) which set her wondering before she settled in Zanake, Butiama, to give birth to Mwalimu Kambarage with Mzee Nyerere.

In The Headline

In the meantime more refugees.

4 Tanzanian politicians flee to Kenya.

Why always Kenya as they don't have other neighbors

Kazikazi:
Jakaya kikwete cardiac institute in Tanzania is the best heart institution in east and central Africa.
No Tz president can leave that and go to a shithole dusty place called kibera republic

That's where you tested goats and watermelons for covid-19 ....your government has really brainwashed you lazy people

Mzal3ndo:
He didn't go to Kenya. Stop listening to you tabloids.

Should I listen to Tanzanian tabloids instead

So you still think Tanzanian media is reliable after all those games they played...
Magufuli was in Kenya for treatment..., fact.
His primitive country couldn't handle him

Tayser:

The problem with Tanzania is that the media reports what the government wants the citizens to hear....Tanzanians are in darkness no wonder they live in fantasy

Wuoche:
Covid has taught us one lesson, to never ague with Science. Two Presidents have died just because they refused to listen to what Scientist suggested. First was the president of Burundi, now it's Magufuli.

And they all had to seek for better treatment in Kenya

Whaaat I'm shocked

RIP Magufuli....

Kazikazi:
Kibera man,
Is that what u are busy lying to each other in those slums when sipping chang'aa?

Keep on wet dreaming and consoling yourself..., facts are stubborn

This must be Magufuli

Kazikazi:
Hohohohohohohoho Hohohohohohohoho
Keep on daydreaming! Keep on son
One day you will realize no matter what illiness,Magu will never seek medical attention outside TZ! Never.
Keep on daydreaming son

Tanzania is your next superpower
We feed your lazy nation

Pombe is in Nairobi Hospital man

rvp20182:
Every year Ghana claims to grow as fast as Ethiopia - but there is nothing you see on the ground.

Look at Addis. This is now a modern city that can compete with Nairobi, Joburg, Durban, Capetown and Luanda in Sub-Sahara Africa. Lagos is a mess - but it would probably make it after Dar.

Govt Starts Construction of Another Elevated Road in Nairobi
By DERRICK OKUBASU on 26 November 2020 - 12:37 pm


The government has kicked off a process of constructing two other elevated carriageways in Nairobi to be done concurrently with the Nairobi Expressway.

In a statement on Wednesday, November 25, Kenya Urban Roads Authority disclosed that the new carriageway will be constructed at Valley Road/Kenyatta Avenue; Ngong/Nyerere Road interchange and Upper Hill/Haille Selassie overpass.

The overpasses are aimed at linking Ngong Road to the Central Business District (CBD).

Kenya Urban Road Authority (KURA) resident engineer Benjamin Asin noted that the initial phase of relocating existing service infrastructure was already ongoing.

“The elevated carriage ways are two, one from Integrity Centre to Serena (Hotel) and another on the Milimani Close,” Asin told People Daily.

He also revealed that the project was valued at Ksh2.9 billion and its construction was slated to begin in early 2021 and end in 2023.


“The value of the project is Sh2.9 billion. The works should begin sometime next year.

"At the moment, we are doing preparatory works that involve the relocation of works planning and geotechnical investigations,” he added.

He also noted that the design was strategic such that the carriageways, would approach the Nairobi Expressway, which is slated to be completed in 2022, at lower levels and into the CBD through Haile Selassie and Kenyatta Avenues.

“There will be no connection because that one is for traffic that are going express so we do not want to mix, so as traffic approaches the Expressway, it will go down and into the city,” he explained.

Another source from KURA confirmed that the project was independent of the Nairobi Expressway and would affect Ngong Road mostly.


A different contractor, the China Road and Bridge Corporation-Kenya is expected to undertake the project which will include KURA overseers.

No buildings will be pulled down during the construction of the project save for strips of land owned by All Saints Cathedral, the Milimani Commercial Court and others along Nyerere Road.

Great strides

Still here�

Can't get enough of Nairobi

forgiveness:
Is Pinnacle topped out?

Yes just like millennium in Abuja....look at it

Abohboy:
Millennium tower in Abuja still under construction search Abuja cultural center or Abuja millennium tower and you’ll find it

It's one and the same, and(unless you prove otherwise) it's nonexistent

forgiveness:
Why? What is the similarity?

Stalled but evidently Pinnacle has more possibility of completion

forgiveness:
It is in Abuja. I saw some days ago while in Abuja.

It's just like the Pinnacle Tower in Upperhill
