It is just an handful not enormous compare to Shanghai a city of china which has more skyscraper than all European city in general ....

because shanghai is populated skyscrapers are a necessity

skyscrapers are a sign of a booming economy

vaxx2:
ignorance talk , Germany ,swizz UK all can afford skyscrapers , it isn't just about economic activity, it is about priority.China continue growth still shows she is lacking in many area of development which European nations have perfected.common economical sense will let you know developing countries have the potential to grow faster because they are in a position to pursue “catch-up growth” by applying technologies previously invented in the developed countries. for example most of the machine that produce made in China product are mainly frim Germany. developed countries such as eurpoe are already operating at, or close to, the technological frontier, and as a result have no one to catch up with. Catch-up growth is almost always faster than frontier growth, which requires that developed countries come up with new technologies that have not yet been invented and fully utilized. China is still regarded as a developing country with more potential to grow . ...

frankfurt is in germany it is full of skyscrapers
london is in the uk it is full of skyscrapers too

vaxx2:
That is why I called your idealogy ignorance. Google will help you put. juxtapose the two.

ooh please tokyo has earthquakes and they have skyscrapers

you say accra has earthquakes which we never hear about and they dont have skyscrapers
who is fooling who

your economy is not vibrant enough otherwise with your gold , oil, cocoa you could have skyscrapers all over

vaxx2:
how do you know Tokyo is more prone to earthquake than Accra. have you conduct your own ignorance study ? ......

in the news we here about tokyo earthquakes more than accra earthquakes in fact i have never heard about accra earthquakes

vaxx2:
were you sleeping when you are reading my post that Accra is prone to natural earthquake?

tokyo and the entire japan are prone to earthquakes more than ghana is but they have skyscrapers all over

that is not the excuse

vaxx2:
it is goverment who gives directives on what types of structure to be build so the excuse of ignorance is not taken

and did you govt issue directives not build skyscrapers

samorobo:
That is what America wants ...Europe can have more if they so desire...

they cant

europe industrialized earlier than usa
so those castles were the skyscrapers of the time

usa , australia , canada industrialized later they built skyscrapers as a sign of economic power

samorobo:
2.5m people live in slum in Nairobi out of your 4m poo and KIBERA takes the lion share of slum residents.....is that too hard to understand

go and watch youtube videos again now focus more on kibra

samorobo:
I have done countless time..and even a Nakuru resident like you can attest to that...

continue watching youtube videos
you have posted nothing

vaxx2:
first, we have diffrent goals in life. Ghana is keenly interested in uplifting the poor and making her wealthy society equal as possible , some derived joy in structures and buildings.

Accra or Ghana population hasn't get out of hand to demand such steps, even if it get, The country capital can easily be relocated. we are nation of 30 million people,skyscraper is not a priority here. but why should africa build a skyscraper when Many of her cities could not ensure 24X7 electric supply, that is very much needed for lifts and elevators. Though Accra has done very well in this area , yet it dosnt consider it a factor.

we are keeping a city that is prone to natural earthquake, this has no technological solution, we could have leverage on it. just this year alone , some part of Accra were subjected to this land slide. in fact , Accra also don't build beside the sea . it is just an offence to humanity to disturb nature. but we have gotten how we can solve it thru technological solution, so we are building the marine drive.

Anyway Accra has a skyscraper, if 27, 18 , 17 floors will pass as one .... villaggio Vista is currently the highest and that is 27 floors . and currently Accra twin towers B And A which are expected to host 40 floors each will soon join the list...

its is the private sector who build skyscrapers not the govt
so the excuse of providing electricity and water is not taken

Get my message again
There are approximatly 2.5 million slum dwellers in about 200 settlements in Nairobi representing 60% of the Nairobi population and occupying just 6% of the land. Kibera houses about 250,000 of these people. Kibera is the biggest slum in Africa and one of the biggest in the world.

Many organisation had already confirm the report.

which organisations
did they conduct census in kibra

theenchanter:
so, explain why germany and france don't have much skyscrappers.

you should explain why usa is full of skyscrapers yet is less populated than europe
australia too has alot of skyscrapers same with canada

samorobo:
Your cencus body is not honest...imagine them intentionally cutting off 5m from your pop.....that is very bad....

Your govt wasted their money on their useless cencus..

conduct a census first in nigeria first hypocrite

no one was cut off

surplusk:
I still don't get what ur insinuation is all about. Its just like coming to Lagos and find most street quite and almost empty and began to wonder if we up to 20m in Lagos or if Nigerians themselves are up to 200m according to data report as they say. Just get the fact, that is the accurate data for Kibera there is nothing to argue for here except u will keep coming up with excuses.

you are comparing apples and oranges
kibra is a residential area it means people should always be there since most of them are jobless paupers
NGOS fooling the world that they are 2m people in kibra is a joke can 2m people fit in area of 2.5 km square

iam giving you facts the population of kibera is 185k continue believing in NGO blogs

samorobo:
Tell them to be honest next time and not leave any stone unturned.......it's just sad that you wasted your money..

you should be telling that to your govt to conduct a census before lecturing me on census

samorobo:
You mean the KIBERA that was not counted.......I mean the one where people complained that they saw no one coming to take count of them.

there is no place called kibera in kenya

everyone was counted in kenya
the rest are political and tribal rumblings

samorobo:
Lies..go tell that to someone who hasn't conducted research on Nairobi...Trust I deserve a PhD in Nairobiology

then you should post your research results here
you know nothing about nairobi

Kibera Facts & Information
There are approximatly 2.5 million slum dwellers in about 200 settlements in Nairobi representing 60% of the Nairobi population and occupying just 6% of the land. Kibera houses about 250,000 of these people. Kibera is the biggest slum in Africa and one of the biggest in the world.
Land Ownership
The Government owns all the land. 10% of people are shack owners and many of these people own many other shacks and let them out to tenants. The remaining 90% of residents are tenants with no rights.
Housing
The average size of shack in this area is 12ft x 12ft built with mud walls, a corrugated tin roof with a dirt or concrete floor. The cost is about KES 700 per Month (£6). These shacks often house up to 8 or more with many sleeping on the floor.

Where on earth will a reasonable man accept this? Common you can post something better.

that is the results of kenya national bureau of statistics the only body mandated to conduct census in kenya
go to their website and see for yourself

surplusk:
I asked you were is your statistics/records that confirm the population is 185k let's deal with that first.

we did a census this year
we just released results recently
and here is kibra population

vaxx2:
posting pictures doesn't guaranty development cus the little we see here maybe hiding the bigger mess hiding in the city.

Anyway this is Accra .....

just like statistics and reports can be doctored to hide a bigger mess

samorobo:
And do you know the methodology used in arriving at that?.

go at world economic forum website and see

it is not the only body that rank kenyan roads ahead of nigerian roads

samorobo:
We have treated this...that SA dude by all means wants to join this conversation and constantly told how SA is better to sought ego....we know SA is better but let him pack well...

The nonsense was already entering his head to the point he mustered the temerity to compare SA with Germany....

the SA dude is giving us facts

and facts are stubborn that is why you are hurt

samorobo:
Who ask for your opinion?

everybodys opinion is welcomed

surplusk:
Stop bringing in excuses let's deal with records.

yeah we are dealing with facts and records as you say
kibra population is 185k and not all of them are slum dwellers

surplusk:
How many people live in Kibera?
For a long time, Kibera was considered the biggest slum not only in Nairobi, but in all of Africa, with allegedly over 1 million inhabitants. The 2009 Kenya Population and Housing Census counted 170.070 inhabitants. In 2010, UN Habitat estimated Kibera’s population at 500.000 to 700.000. Such is the quality of data for many, if not most low-income markets in developing countries. If we don’t even know how many people live in a certain area, imagine how little we understand about their incomes, spending patterns, or consumer preferences.
Low-income markets remain dark data-wise.

kibra population is 185k that is official figure we released census results recently

surplusk:
Approximately 700,000 inhabitant lives in kibera with over 300,000 inhabitants per km square compare to makoko 50,000 inhabitant for 0.72km square what else do u want to here. Just given you facts.

according to our census reports kibera has a population of around 185k which is the official figure

surplusk:
Don't be shy away from the truth even the 2.38km square made it the largest slum in Africa. makoko is just 0.72km square so what is ur excuse.

In every indices Kenya rank better than Nigeria and you are talking of fake news and NGO propaganda? Funny you.
