Can I see the train stations (Nairobi's metro) of the proposed routes and even even the current stations, and how comes ur government spends so much money on a single track lanes?

Bruh, why is the place so disorganized? Let me guess, it's still under construction, right?

Are you referring to this one below?

rvp20182:
By choice - they restrict height - but where is proof that Ghana dwarf building has anything to do with approval permits or zoning. The entire city of Accra is a hodgepodge of all sorts of ramshackle therefore I doubt there is any planning or zoning.

Their lack of tall buildings, therefore, is due to their informal economy, more than any zoning laws.

Okay, fix your high poverty rate

Bonoboism is for bonobos. Find a better way to promote Ghana.

Absolutely. It's a free for all hodgepodge. The entire housing and economy is informal. It will take a lot of work to formalize this. Normal people should not erect houses. It should be left to gov, housing companies, insurances and pension funds to do that. That way they can build housing estates with all the amenities - at such economies of scale - it cheaper than individual building their thing.

Some part of Nairobi metro has gone Ghana way - but hopefully it can be fixed soon.

For Ghana to fix this - they need to formalize their economy - starting with housing. They need to start building housing estates with 2,000 units - build 100 such - and you can transform accra.

But first they have to do what Kigali did - basically forcefully acquire land from people - demolish the mess - and then rebuild proper estates.

If they seize Chinese gold - and give it official to china - China can deliver 10,000 units housing estates - selling it cheaply to Ghanians - way cheaper than build your own shack.


Ghana need this..so does Nigeria..and Kenya (which had left housing sector to informal sector since late 90s).

Don't sweat it bro....The city has no planning,no zoning,no attention to details or whatsoever. It is "build anything you like" and it's why you see everywhere looking haphazardly. I can decide to erect my shacks in east legon so far it's on my land.Mansions sittings next to shacks are a common sight in every Ghanaian settlements. Kiosks or containers are everywhere including high end streets.Slums are well integrated in the city centres .All in all Ghana is a nature paradise.

leQubit:

i aint hating bro but Ghana ? No way..Nothing interesting there..maybe the slave market an stuff like that..Maybe you should stop trolling an start posting real Ghana for folks to get exited an visit...The Facade brush ya using is not helping bro

Who cares about your impression?
Find a chair and sit down

leQubit:


Accra is urban but got more than 256 slums..dude thats what i call african urbanization.. Bythe way where is accra infrastructure? why is everything so small (sorry short) in accra ...come to think of it , are Akan people short by nature

Over 2 million slum dwellers in nairobi alone.
That's so serious

Kengen estate

Just30:
Kojokrom is in Accra?
New Takoradi is in Accra?
Suame Magazine the mini industrial area is in Accra?
Aboabo is in Accra?

wow you are desperate

Accra slums are

Ashiaman
Old Fadama
Nima

James Town is not a slum, nut an old developed colonial town.

I'm even surprised

Moreso Ashaiman is not part of Accra.
It shares common boundaries with Accra.

Ashaiman have the
Estates areas,
Middle income areas,
Then the slums.

ACP estate looking all fine

vankelvin:


Are you referring to this one below?

Spintex low income and middle income housing

leQubit:


james Town

Sorry to disappoint you, this particular area of James town got demolished last year to pave way for the construction of the much awaited James Town Fishing harbour so chill.

One thing I have noticed about kenyans on this platform is you guys have short memories and you behave childishly as well.

You raise an issue, you get corrected.
The next day you repeat same mistake, we correct you, then you bring up same issue again? Are you that dumb?

You guys are mentally challenged, and no wonder you repeat pictures all year through out.

This is just funny to read. Are you done posting the slums if I may ask?

rvp20182:
You want to check Accra - just head to google maps.

So far confirmed this huge area is big huge slum

Typical estates look like this

Nima compared to kibera is like comparing day and night

Well put ....But on the contrary,i don't think there is anything wrong if individuals are allow to erect their own structures, but it must be allowed follow a definite pattern to give the city a balance which is one form of design. So much of this lies on the governments,city planners or metropolitan assemblies to come up with a grand master plan that has zoning and other pre requisite of a normal cities, in another to actualise her purpose. Her neighbouring cities like Abidjan,lagos and Abuja doesn't have a formal economy but a drive through each of those cities will tell you Accra has a long way to go. Trust me,in terms of beautiful buildings Accra has more than Abidjan and go on toe to toe with Abuja only Lagos will edge with her numbers but Accra still appears ugly compared to these cities because the basics has been neglected.

rvp20182:
Ghana!!!! What went wrong? Everywhere in Accra is a slum almost.

This went wrong

Kuruptnigga:
1) Wuse 2
2) Maitama district, Abuja

Keep the pics coming,I am impressed even without editing.

Take your nonsense away from me boy. Don't seek my attention. today I'm cool.

use this energy to tell your brother to stop peddling nonsense, lies and inflated figures in nairaland , okay? Otherwise there is worse to come.

Thank you

I don't seek attention from a certified idiot like you.
I called you out so you will put a stop to your incessant silliness. Always repeating your nonsense on this page is getting too much.

If you want to compare open air market in both countries then fine but that silliness of trying to score some cheap points needs to be checked.

vankelvin:


Nima compared to kibera is like comparing day and night

so kibera is synonymous with Darkness

boy you are mean
