gallivant:


Ghana is not a tourism destination. Go confuse Nigerians.

Just40:
yet Ghana receives more tourist than Kenya and earns more from tourism than Kenya.

Has that sank in now?

gallivant:


Go fool Nigerians. You don't have the infrastructure to cater for half the number of tourists we receive.

Why are you talking about the basics, which are more of a primary need - and compulsory for survival?

Let's try and talk about things that improve aesthetics & modernity.

Technology & skyscrapers are important in the modern world. Although, that does not entirely mean that skyscrapers are the only tools that define modernization or development as you may put. Some countries have invested heavily in Tech cities with low-rise buildings, and they are doing pretty much better than the majority of African nations with skyscrapers.

We should also not overlook the fact that the most developed city in the world is filled with skyscrapers - and pioneered by skyscrapers.
Same case in Africa. I believe Johannesburg is the most developed city in Africa, and at the same time, it's the only city with the highest number of Tall buildings - skyscrapers.

theenchanter:
skyscrapers are majorly built for functionality, and little modernity , it's only in Kenya, Nairobi to be precise, that's makeu Kenyans seem skyscrapers are something special. Though, it makes a city looks a bit developed, and that's not all development entails.

And no, not most developed cities around the world are filled with skyscrapers. If I'm correct, hong-kong has the most skyscrapers In the world, and I don't think it ranks better than London in development.... For example.

And hey, cape-town is more developed and beautiful than jobourg, with less skyscrapers... According to different sources, but I can't tamper with ur belief, anyway.

Shma:

You've just underscored my sentiments. Then sum it up with your prejudice submission towards Kenyans, as usual.

Psychology rule 001. Beat your opponent with something they don't seem to have or do better, then wait for a rebuttal... Some of the feedback will be sickening; like what you just did, from your prosaic state of mind.

For the umpteenth time, skyscrapers are not the only infrastructure that measures development. I've said this several times... I don't understand why you're this slow? What I said is what you have just said in your long write-up.

Johannesburg is the most developed city in Africa, while cape town is the most beautiful.

London!

Balogunodua:

The question is...does skyscraper equals development Or most a city have skyscrapers to become developed.

Just40:
just imagine someone trying to argue that Nairobi is more developed and beautiful than Sicily because of skyscraper

Just40:
I think we both know that Ghana's quality of life is far above that of Kenya in various reports spanning 30 years.

So what's this joke about again?


The middle class in Ghana is almost 15 million which is 3 times of Kenya's. That explains why properties in Kenya largely remain empty and largely dependent on tourist short stay.

Do you have glaucoma?

How can a skyscraper equate to development? Even if you're dumb, you can't make such a submission!

A skyscraper is just a complex - more expensive building ( ofc superior to any dwarf cheap houses integrated all over Lagos )

Shma:

Landon is more developed than Newyork, despite New York having more skyscrapers than her.

Barcelona is more developed than Johannesburg, despite Joburg having more skyscrapers than her.

What I'm saying is, don't compare African cities with European, Asian, or western cities. Compare Africa with Africa. Like, a city in sub-Saharan Africa With no skyscrapers is a sh*thole a zoo and underdeveloped.
Lagos is better than any west African city by virtue of it having skyscrapers. It sets a certain unique landmark in town.

Balogunodua:

[s]Why the sudden wailing and ranting....I only asked a question and you have started wailing

dwarf integrated buildings in Lagos are far better than the integrated slums all over Nairobi[/s]...

Balogunodua:

My point has been made...

Good.

UK has just unveiled the final design of the central railway station - in Nairobi. The station will also link an electric commuter train to JKIA.

Johannesburg is the most developed city in Africa, while cape town is the most beautiful. Although, development is ambiguous. Capetown might be the most developed in terms of HDI.

someone that's not feeling fine.

I once read an article where Kenyan govt ask an American company or so to build a 50+ building in Nairobi and I instantly pardoned their bias toward skyscrapers.

theenchanter:
look, u're neither here not there with ur submission. Take a look at what u posted earlier, which I replied to.
ur argument about skyscrapers equaling development is emboldened for u to see, ur argument being d opposite is highlighted in italics.

Taking a look at the highlighted submissions, one doesn't need a seer to tell where ur logic lies.

Lol you are a fool. I guess Algiers,Casablanca,Rabat,Tuniare shiit hole zoo for not having skyscrapers. Lol the same Casablanca that humbles anything in Kenya .

Almost 15m but not 15m - I guess it's 12m, cos you exaggerate a lot of things. Kenya's middle-income population is 23m - the percentage rate is more or less 45% based on 2017 data.
