Yes - it would greatly help - the urban sprawl is crazy.

It's mandatory for Lagos to have skyscrapers they're busy defending nonsense if they don't need skycrapers then why can't Lagos look like Casablanca and Algiers

Balogunodua:
Sri Lankan food crisis, one would think Africa will be worst according to Global food index...

It's an upper middle income country with Lebanon like crisis

Balogunodua:

From a dumb Kenyan...

Does Lagos compare to Morocco and Algiers without skyscrapers

tylann:
Lagos is overcrowded you need skycrapers by force don't compare yourself to Algiers and Casablanca

Lol talk to me directly taahira, stop going through corners.


Lagos didn’t complain to you about land, we sprawl either horizontally or vertically,it’s our choice.

Informal service industry will not generate office spaces. It will generate street hustlers and hawkers. It will generate flea markets, corner shops, pop-mom shops and other such informal retail, accommodation and even manufacturing on the streets.

Nairobi has MORE FORMAL office, retail, hotel and formal warehousing space than Lagos. There are gazillions reports out there on this - from Knight Frank, PWCs, name them

These are stubborn facts that your generator powered economy cannot match.

Balogunodua:

You are saying nonsense again...the generator powered economy as you said is the 7 largest economy in Africa larger than the whole Kenya...you must be joking when you said that..service industry still provide bulk of Nigeria GDP with Lagos having the lion share, so what all this service fumbling you are making? How does Nairaobi beat Lagos in Office demand is the question you should answer my friend.



Nigeria still has more service industries than Kenya and generates more money from it than Kenya.. FACT

tylann:

It’s ahead of Kenya with or without scrapes.

I repeat there is nothing in Nairobi or Kenya that you can’t find in Lagos.

Next time you want to boast,boast to me about having stuff like Africa’s fastest high speed rail.

Are you sure about this? Because although Lagos is about 60% the informal sector, I am still sure it's formal sector is bigger than that of Kenya as a whole not just Nairobi. I did a google search of the list of firms or formal companies in Lagos and I got 33501 results and definitely not all of them need skyscrapers.

There are people who study these things because they build or advise people to build hotels or office blocks or retail or warehouses. Lagos despite having less than Nairobi - has an overcapacity. That tell you the Lagos economy is mostly informal.

Quick example Knight Frank - Africa reports

Africa Offices Dashboard - Q3 2021
Nairobi accounted for 30 percent of office space demand in entire Africa. People dont just wake up and build skyscrappers which cost money to to erect and run...they build them because there is demand for office spaces or rental apartments.

https://content.knightfrank.com/research/2261/documents/en/africa-offices-dashboard-q3-2021-8600.pdf

Nairobi is going to continues seeing demand for office blocks because it's a magnet for multinational who want to set up African operations - previously they would go to Joburg - but now they can find everything they require in Nairobi - which is more centrally located to act as nerve center of Afrca, has well trained English speaking proffesional to be hired, and dont have that much crime - and unlike Lagos - you dont have to run a generator and hire police escort.

Nairobi rise will continue...and will overtake joburg in 10yrs...to become Africa biggest city (not in population) but in infrastructure...while Ghana Accra will compete with Lagos in West Africa.

Fumbling won't help you Mister and bring the so called fact from your anus is disgusting....get that.


The generator powered economy as a GDP bigger than the whole Kenya..that truly is the only stubborn fact you can't dispute..

I dont think anything I said is worth bursting a vein over. Relax. Nairobi is just getting started. Nairobi is building more skyscrapper than all Africa cities combined.

Nairobi was already East Africa HQ and now is eating Joburg pie to become Africa HQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMO0ZP6MLWM

As you burst you veins with irrational anger, Nairobi is already considered the best city to work and live by expats in Africa (and top 10 worldwide), and Nairobi is nailing the few problems it has - roads, rail, water and garbage - every year Nairobi is making progress to make a great city.

Unless Nairobi drops the ball - it's will overtake Joburg and become Africa greatest city for sometime - because it has the fundamentals to become what NewYork, London, Tokyo and such city of Africa continent.

so far, you're the one permanently living on this forum and you Nairobi is yet to get to Kumasi level.

So shut up, tame your lying mouth and learn to develop that sh*thole.

You shouldn't be making noise about a 6 million tonnes cement consumption, that is like the level of Ivory Coast.

99% of Nairobi looks this messy

Unmarked roads with no road signage. Terrible housing, kiosks everywhere and no drainages. That's if you're lucky to even have your roads tarred.

A drive through of the various neighborhoods in Nairobi will sober you.

Balogunodua:

You don't need to waste your time on those Dumbo's who thinks skyscrapers equate increase in formal jobs and office space demand while the ones they have built remains empty.

Are all Nigerians stupid or something? Kenyans must be extremely wealthy to build empty skyscrapers all over the place. Dimwit!
