GeneralDae: You are wasting your time. I am yet to find any observer who has visited both Abuja and Accra who speaks of Accra being ahead of Abuja in any way. We have shown you two people who visited both cities so far and this is what they have to say:
African Tigress: I think Abuja is my favourite West African capital city.
Wode Maya: I don't know any city in Ghana I can use to compare with it, no no.
These are testimonies that goes beyond this bantering on nairaland 😂😄
To think Abuja is a planned city and it looks like this marvel's me. None of the buildings in the city is above 50years yet the place has started dilapidating.
Abuja really has 100years to reach the level of Accra
Just as @Wode Maya said Kigali is developed than Abuja.
GeneralDae: Give up already. You are not making any sense.
He was asked: Out of the four cities he visited in Nigeria which is the most developed? (not which is the most organized) and he listed them as: Abuja, Lagos, PH in that order. That is the context. No need for twisting and yes Kigali is more developed than any city in Ghana and in Wode Maya's eyes, it's also more developed than Lagos.
Only KNUST have infrastructure worth compared to this University in the entire West Africa . This is just about 50% of the campus in the pictures
The university was founded in 1948 as the University College of the Gold Coast in the British colony of the Gold Coast. It was originally an affiliate college of the University of London, which supervised its academic programs and awarded degrees.
After Ghana gained independence in 1957, the college was renamed the University College of Ghana. It changed its name again to the University of Ghana in 1961, when it gained full university status.
The University of Ghana is situated on the west side of the Accra Legon Hills and northeast of the centre of Accra. It has over 60,000 registered students.
@Wode Maybe said all the nicest things he wanted to say about Abuja
He talked about how organized Abuja was. this is where he compared to Lagos, other Nigerian cities then chipped in Ghanaian cities as well. (Dont try to twist his words and interprete it the way you like)
He then found a city worth compared to Abuja and even stressed on that kigali was cleaner between the two cities
QUOTE: "Abuja is something like Kigali but kigali is cleaner"
GeneralDae: Well that is your opinion. Wode Maya uses the word development at the beginning and ranks Abuja his most developed Nigerian city. So he was clear on what he was talking about in the context of Nigeria and Ghana. I'm sure if he was asked to compare Abuja and Capetown for instance, he would have put some qualifiers to say Capetown is more developed but Abuja is quieter and stuff like that but in thinking of Ghana and Nigeria, it is clear he considers both Abuja and Kigali as up there.
You can disagree with Wode Maya but it is his opinion.
Also can you give me the data that shows Accra has more paved roads than Abuja? Because that seems unbelievable.
He said Abuja is more organized than Lagos and all the cities he visited in Nigeria as well as all cities in Ghana but Abuja is something like kigali but kigali is more cleaner
forgiveness: He said "like I don't know any city in Ghana I can use to compare Abuja, no no. It's like well organised"
The guy was emphatic so I don't get your point exactly
He said all the good things about Abuja
He now stressed on how well organized Abuja was and then said none of the cities he visited in Nigeria including the ones we have here in Ghana is as organized as Abuja
Then he went ahead to liken Abuja to kigali QUOTE: Abuja is something like kigali but kigali is cleaner
You are not smarter than anyone here
GeneralDae: So show me where he said Kigali is ahead of Abuja in everything? In speaking of Kigali, he was careful to add:
"but Kigali was cleaner that's the only thing I would say but in terms of infrastructure.."
On one side they want to interprete it as Abuja is better than Accra but on the other side they dont want to agree to the part where he said kigali was better
Appisko: Who in his right senses compares Accra to Abuja stop wasting your time on this villagers most of them have never travelled outside their villages
So where did he say Abuja is develop and better than Accra.
If what you guys are insinuating is anything to go by then he also said Kigali is ahead of Abuja in everything and more(cleaner,)
GeneralDae: Maybe we both different ideas of main areas but I'll pass on this one.
This is what Wode Maya said and I quote:
" I saw Abuja is different in terms of development. I think they took their time to develop Abuja. So when you go to Abuja you'll see that everything is like on point, everything
POINT 1
👉👉in Abuja is on point like the road system, the traffic system, and everything. It's not like Lagos, if you go to Lagos, everything is here there.
POINT 2 👉👉But Abuja is like organized, I don't know how to explain like I don't know any city in Ghana I can use to compare Abuja, no no. It's like well organised,
POINT 3 👉👉let me say Abuja is something like Rwanda Kigali but Kigali is cleaner than Abuja but that's the only thing I would say, Kigali was cleaner than Abuja
but Abuja was beautiful, green, it's like a green city, infrastructure"...
04:19 @Wode Maya said QUOTE "Abuja is organized, I don't know which city in Ghana to compare to Abuja. Abuja is like Kigali but Kigali is cleaner". There is no where in his submission where he said Abuja beats Accra in development.
GeneralDae: You are the one twisting what Wode Maya said. He said Kigali beats Abuja in terms of cleanliness. That's all he said.
Everybody can go watch that video to see who is twisting his words. I believe you know what you are doing 😄😄
Maya was even struggling to single out a Ghanaian city in order to bring the point closer home to the interviewer but he just could not imagine any Ghanaian city, only Kigali which he said was just cleaner.
Everybody knows Kigali is the cleanest city in Africa.
same way you can get whatever you want in all the high end areas in Accra.
I have for years been consistent with my view on Abuja. Serene, organized, wide roads but nothing special.
GeneralDae: I watched your video. Your Airport City Area at the beginning of the video is my favourite part of Accra but that East legon is no different from most parts of PH currently and is not spectacular.
Abuja has wide, well planned roads, trees, and also very nice buildings spread across but it has large expanse of land and spaces and was planned that way. The thing with Abuja is that most of its development around the main city (not the outskirts) is diversified. For instance, if you live in Wuye or Gwarimpa, you don't need to go to Asokoro, Maitama, or Wuse 2 for whatever you need. For a great housing estate, cinema, Spa, Shopping Complexes or good roads.
You obviously came to throw a blind support as typical of you but in your head you know the truth.
If you want to twist what @Maya said to meaning that Abuja is ahead of Accra then it means Kigali is also ahead of Abuja because he said so
samorobo: Lol you just shot this guy. He will never show his face here again 😂😂 Even that African tigress woman in one of her videos said she preferred Abuja more than Nairobi,that Abuja is more of her vibes than Nairobi, then come Ghana is there thinking they can lift a finger to Abuja with their shiithole Accra. Fvck the insult is too much 😂😂😂
Accra has more to offer than Abuja infrastructurally (in all facet of development)
I repeat, it will take Abuja 100 more years to be on the same level with Accra.
Even from this video just as all the other Abuja videos, the focus is on the street view of wide roads and trees. That aside nothing much there to see
GeneralDae: Watch this smooth ride in one of Abuja's highways. Kigali may be cleaner (as the cleanest city in Africa) but it doesn't have the number of wide roads or amount of real estate developments Abuja has.
