Nairobi and it's slum. Slum make up only 5% of Nairobi built area - the biggest Kibera is 2.5Km sq. They occupy only 2% of Nairobi Land Mass..meaning it total it's just 15 KM - roughly 4,000 acres - for all the slum in Nairobi- (about the size of Eko dead CIty )

All are illegally built mostly on river valleys - forest - wetlands - and grabbed private land - or even road reserves .

If you check the slums - you can clearly see nearly all are along some river.

This because river reserve of 30-50m (riparian area) - in some areas were invaded by poor people - in cahoot with administration - and they set up settlements.

Unlike West Africa - we don't have integrated dwelling where informal slum structures neigberhors a mansion or an office block

The solution to Nairobi Slums is easy - proceed with recovery of riparian reserves - after affordable housing programme. That will eliminate most slums....

That was a banter between Ghana and nigeria.

Now it's a banter between
Ghana- kenya VRS nigeria-kenya so deal with it.

Even if it's 1km kibera is kibera and it's far down the valley separated through zoning law policies. one can barely see or trace it while in Nairobi CBD unless you're on top of Nairobi skyscrapers and maybe at a close glance as you move out of upperhill.
Kibera is not integrated with decent buldings in Nairobi CBD unlike your zooland which is mixed up with shanties and shacks that stretches all the way from makoko.

Meanwhile, enjoy this video and tell me if you can see any shantie.

Majengo is a slum in Nairobi Kenya and only takes 12 min (3.8 km) via Haile Selassie Ave to get to Nairobi city center . It is on the outskirts of Nairobi next Gikomba market. Majengo makes part of Pumwani location and Pumwani/Shauri moyo Ward represented by Hon Paul Ndungu [Petit] in the Nairobi City County assembly. Majengo also host the headquarters for kamkunji constituency at the former District commissioner offices.key people from Majengo Evans Kidero first Governor of Nairobi City CountyMary Kavere, popularly known as Mama Kayai, is a veteran actor in Kenya It existed in the 1920s already

Why would someone establish a slum in the outskirt of a city? Slum dwellers in Kenya- establish slum near their working place - this CBD or Industrial area or rich neighberhood. These people work as factory workers, office cleaners, or house cleaners or such menial low paying jobs. The most important aspect for such slums...they need to be walking distance to their jobs ....otherwise the transport cost if they were to use public transport...would outprized them from the job market. These are people earning low min wages..about 100 dollars a month. They don't use transport - they walk to and from their jobs.

Obviously our slum problem is not impossible situation like West Africa.

It's very small problem - if you check the acreages - and then remove the riparian land alone - we can easily demolish all these slums - but as long as we haven't dealt with mass cheap housing - more will be created

What's your point?

The Capital

Precisely - he has no point. Nairobi slums are very tiny - mere 2% of the landmass. Meanwhile a typical estate in Nairobi is about 5,000 acres - more than all slums combined.
