AfriqueDuZuid:
SA economy will be 426-435 billion this year

Not bad 4 times ours ten years ago it was 8 times ours

gallivant:
They can't handle the heat, off course they will hide behind the South Africa, Algeria and other countries even in Europe!!

that's how they highly regard kenya they zoo can't compete with East Africa Giant

gallivant:
Aren't you from the giant of everything, Nigeria? When will you get as much skyscrapers as Nairobi? See your folly?

Hiding behind South Africa
We will overtake the stagnanting South Africa economy

Jamestown123:
Ahhh, abi 50 skyscrapers are too small? You guys need to do something fast oo, because south Africa will be stagnant for these 2 years and even 10 years.

sarcasm not working
You're right anyway
South Africa economic growth hardly surpasses 2% and it staganates most of the times
Last year Kenya did 7.5%

kikuyu1:
ACTUALLY the US, or rather David Rockefeller who thought it was growing too fast and pulled the handbrake via the Plaza Accords leading to decades long stagflation.

They were scared Japan will overtake USA as the world largest economy..but China will overtake USA no matter what

Jamestown123:
Ahhh ok. I was thinking 2 years would have been more better, because by then, you guys might have added 60,000km of paved roads, built about 50 sky crappers, also by then kibera would have been fully demolished and rebuilt into a beautiful neighborhood.

Not impossible though Egypt is doing that it will very soon as soon this year overtake South Africa in infrastructure development

AfriqueDuZuid:
Lol you not interested in your so called cities, which are mere neighborhoods

watch the space

AfriqueDuZuid:
Lol you not interested in your so called cities, which are mere neighborhoods

Not neighborhoods pretty towns

Jamestown123:

You can't do that in 2 years not even China can do that
10 years it's
Compare our GDPs 20years ago and you will see

Jamestown123:
Just make it 2 years my bro.

Nope

Shma:
Nairobi has 23 100m +. don't rely on wiki to feed you with info about Nairobi.

Nairobi dwarfs all the cities in SA except Joburg.
But for Kenya to catch up to the current level of SA - as a whole, maybe we need 50yrs.

But that is not the point. No one is comparing Kenya with SA. we made a simple estimate that Nai will one day catch up with Joburg, going by the dynamic in infrastructure progress. But your weak emotional boy Austine has caught feelings with that.

He's now calling me a pighead.

Not 50yrs maybe 10yrs if we get another infrastructure minded president like Uhuru kenyatta but we're catching up faster than expected

samorobo:
Develop your zoo so you can be egotistical and stop whining about those that developed theirs and git egotistical.
Focus on your zoo and create the change that you need.

You should post lagos, Abeokuta Port Harcourt etc

samorobo:
That goes to show that your economy is cooked. A single look at Ethiopia and you can see what their economy has done no matter how little it maybe,o can’t say the same for your zoo bro.
Now please stop I wailing on my mention,I am not the cause of your misery - just vote a more capable idiot this time - maybe ruto or odinga whatever.

You are disturbed person

samorobo:
Dummy. Ethiopia is better than anything in east Africa. Do I still need to break that down ret@rded kid.

Then why do you want to cry
You're so emotional and pained for nothing
Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in East Africa your emotions won't change that

samorobo:
You don’t need logic and thinking to know that Ethiopia is the most advanced country in east Africa. This things are naked eye test.
Shove your logic up your stupid ass.

No it's not
Stop daydreaming

samorobo:
Ethiopia appears to be better than anything in east Africa. Take that to the bank and cash it fool.
Go monkey,go.

Ethiopia is in East Africa

samorobo:
Lol Kenyans lie to much and raise their shoulders up for nothing.

Lol this is definitely the most developed city in east Africa. This things are naked eye test lol.

When next gtc wants to go high it should steal a page from Addis ananda on how aesthetically beautiful and advanced a skyline should look. Not those hideous tall bland gtc structures with limited acrylic painting ,zero architectural marvel and of course zero aesthetics.



Did I forget to add they have one of the most advanced light rail system In Africa. A look at Addis and you can tell the Chinese did well,but a look at Kenya and you weep cos you can smell hot mandarin Ponzi scheme choking your nostrils.

And yet Nairobi still beats addis Ababa
By the way you should copy Addis Ababa and build sky scrapers

rvp2018:
Japan only mistake was to miss the computer/ict revolution as they focussed on robotics otherwise Japan and South Korea are very rich countries. Economy in developed world is stagnant. It true in Europe - and even in the US (which mostly an exception as it attract immigrants).

Japan and south Korea are anti immigrant
Japan is also facing deflation

Shma:
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.

As I told them before only Johannesburg beats Nairobi in terms of skycrapers

rvp2018:
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.

Always wondered with South Korea and Japan work ethic it also baffles me why Japan's economy has stagnated for 30 years and korea is kidnapped by family businesses

samorobo:
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.

Must be sad taahira,don’t you think?

Aim at Abidjan first and stop day dreaming

vankelvin:
Do you think we don't? we do just that he's bought almost all our state institutions and about 50% of our opinion leaders are on his side.
He is one President that wouldn't mind sending his guys to molest or finish you so people are quiet for now. But I trust my Ghanaians, they will not talk much for now but when power changes hand insults alone will kill him and his family

When is he out of power

vankelvin:
Unfortunately my President is a wasteful clueless President

Hold him accountable

rvp2018:
Study this graph keenly - and start to dollarize.

I'm afraid you are debating with a person who's disturbed in mind and body

vankelvin:
You said *He's given us free what? abeg here is road side so I won't say much

This current President of ours is a true definition of cluelessness and I mean it, he is so so clueless and I regreat voting for him in 2016.
Just 6 years in power his Government has borrowed more than all what past Presidents borrowed yet he's got nothing special to show for the excessive borrowing. The only thing he has achieved so far are
-enriching himself,
-his family,
-his friends,
-his party members,
-bribing some opinion leaders,
-buying journalists and anyone that says good thing about him, quiet apart from that he has done almost nothing compared to what our former Presidents did.

Did I hear you talk about Ghana-Burkina Faso railway? the one under construction is part of the many projects started by the former President Mahama .
The little money Former Presidents Kuffour, Atta Mills and Mahama borrowed were used to build many projects but this current President can't show us what he did with our money.

Everything in Ghana is now expensive not only Estate houses

Now that's the difference between you and Kenya
Uhuru kenyatta can show you what he has done with the borrowed money
Infact he is the best performing president in Kenya in terms of infrastructure development

vankelvin:
Mainly Indians and Multinational companies

So we shouldn't accept FDI

Just40:
so the Kenyan economy Is more vibrant than that of Sicily and Stockholm right ? Or Rabat and Algiers?

So do you guys really listen to your own stupidity before posting it here?

Our economy grew 7.5 in 2021 . Faster than those cities above

samorobo:
Lol why can’t Nairobi look like joburg ,Capetown ,Durban,Pretoria since it’s supposedly have skyscrapers

We're catching up with them.in terms of skycrapers we beat them except maybe johannesburg.we are working on transport infrastructure in Nairobi

Lagos plans to catch up with Casablanca and Algiers

Balogunodua:
Nope...Kenyans are extremely poor, that is why foreigners dominates and control the economy in Kenya

Which foreigners

samorobo:
Lol why can’t Nairobi look like joburg or Capetown.

Why can't Lagos look like Casablanca or Algiers since they both lack skyscrapers

samorobo:
Lol are you think projects like this aren’t sprawling all over Lagos. Nigga you got the wrong country,go tell this some other country not Nigeria .

Where are your skyscrapers

Wuoche:
As you make noise about Nairobi's skyscrapers remaining empty, more and more are still coming up.

Skyscrapers are a sign of a vibrant economy
