Most cities in Africa are also been redeveloped at great pace not just Nairobi. My post was that Nairobi had a good head start. Even as far back as 2009 and 2010, a Nigerian traveller I read on a blog then (who also knew West Africa well) made this observation.

Since then many West African cities are developing fast and catching on e.g Lagos, Accra, Abidjan, Dakar, and Cotonou. Lots of development going on in these cities. Some I dare say at a pace greater than that of Nairobi.

you're dreaming if you think there a city in sub Saharan Africa that matching kind of development going on in Nairobi real estate... Dreaming is nice word..you're just above insane.

Which part of Accra do you visit in Ghana ( jamestown) I guess

They don't even have sewage beyond 3km CBD.

funny enough...on the forum, Remove SA cities and Accra is the most developed (just basic fact)

Stop making stupid arguments. What exactly is going on in Nairobi that is special or way above what's going on in at least one of Lagos, Dakar, Abidjan, Accra, Abuja, etc?

No wonder raw sewage keep flowing on the streets of Nairobi.
That 19th century stuff makes your city stink

that small development happening in a small part of Nairobi is what makes you root on this forum when the rest of Nairobi keep looking like a degraded war war 2 town

I'll say some few changes have occurred at a good pace. Accra of 2021 is not Accra of 2023.

There is a reason why Nairobi is ranked no 4 most rapidly urbanzing city by JLC. You want engage me in silly arguments

Gov of Kenya is eliminating slum with a million housing units most of them in Nairobi.kibera will soon look more modern than any city in Nigeria

This Mukuru slum...next biggest after Kibera...slums are being transformed into highrises with Kenya gov deducing 3% from every Kenya income for mass housing in the country

let me just laugh as if I don't know what a joke that is 😂🤣

When are they going to eliminate pipeline? Kibera will never look even as modern as the outskirts of Lagos.

It will take you a century to understand why

GeneralDae:

It's painful to say but let's face it. Nairobi has more finesse than any other West African city from all YouTube Videos I've seen over the years and I've seen a lot.

Dakar, Abidjan, and Lagos (mainly Ikoyi and VI) are up there but at this moment, Nairobi in particular is ahead of these cities in the development curve. Accra is also developing fast with good diaspora influx but cannot be compared to Nairobi at the moment especially the best parts of Nairobi.

Nairobi has been kinda free and hospitable to foreigners and foreign investments from India and Europe for decades compared to much of West Africa.

Note: When I say Nairobi or Accra or Lagos, etc. I am comparing their best areas only e.g Westlands, Cantonement, Airport road, Ikoyi, VI, etc.

Thank God you said it is from YouTube videos you watched that formed your opinion.

Lagos fine pass Nairobi. Abuja is even finer. This is observation from foreigners that have been to these cities. When I say foreigners, I am talking about foreigners from advance countries.

From Ikoyi, VI - Lekki fine die.

Eko Atlantic dey too ooo.

You are funny. So you think the other Governments do not have plans for million housing units too?

Show me the plan. Nairobi growth been driven by private sector n now Kenya gov is adding the second engine...a million houses with investment of more than 25B dollars...show which other sub Saharan Africa is doing it.The housing levy alone will collect nearly a billion annually n investors will pump 10 times

not even govt but private sectors are doing more than that

Ghana mad cow. Kibera housing estate of tall high rises of 288 acres is at advanced stage. That is 10 times your airport city. All Nairobi slums city on prime real estate. Gov spend nothing [ author=Just40 post=128016325] let me just laugh as if I don't know what a joke that is 😂🤣

You write as though we are not in Africa where promises are made by Government officials like they are out of fashion.
If you say private sector players are making promises, then fine (although successful executions would still be based on a number of factors) but Government? no.
Common sense alone tells me Kenyan Government at present have too many problems and cannot undertake such a huge project. Ruto makes lots of promises but they are mostly vibes.

Especially for the fact that they won't be able to do any development project at least for the next 5 years.

I think this should settle what you have been saying for years.

did u even watched and listened to what u posted?

stop worrying, there will be no xenophobic attacks against nigerians, kenyans dont do that stupidity.
but nigerians will have a harder time with kenyan police
nigerians coming to kenya should know ritualistic killings and ransom are not normal here and will not be swept under the carpet like in Nigeria.

Let me let you in on a little secret. If you find that you are the one hyping yourself and give yourself praises, its probably becuse you aren't that much for others to notice. If Ghana was really as good as Ghanaians try to paint it, foreigners would already be the first to point it out. We never see foreigners hyping Ghana for development. All we see is Ghana hyped for democracy and black american back to the roots. Fyi the black Americans return to Ghana because of the same social media you say shouldn't be used as a yardstick. Nairobi and Kenya gets praised by foreigners rightfully because of development but not democracy. Its because third parties can judge better a country's development than yourself. Even black Americans who have lived in Ghana for years when they land in Nairobi they completely change their minds. So lets learn to accept what we have and work on what we dont. Ghana has democracy but dont try too hard to paint yourself as more developed than those who are way above your league like Nairobi. You just come out as petty as vindictive. You won't see Kenyans hyping their warped democracy but without even hyping their development foreigners do it.

they said development and you too you're saying hype..... should I show you foreigners who hype Ghana's development.

The funny thing is Ghana is just relax in her corner and getting dragged into crazy arguments...as soon as you start to ask for details, you see child like fumble.

The very same foreigners return back from Kenya into Ghana after realizing how backward it is and finally decide to settle here.

Why are most nigerians stupid?
"You saw hungry and unemployed people in Ghana"? so that makes nigeria better or what? all that nonsense just to prove what exactly
Just Google for the unemployment and poverty rates of both countries.
This nonsense is not funny

Jamestown123:
I just wonder if it's the same Ghana i went to, and met a lot of hunger and unemployment this guy is talking about. Oga better rest, y'all can't keep comparing your small country with Nigeria, i mean it's embarrassing and stoopid at the same time. Many Ghanaians are in Nigeria doing business and even working self, my boss's driver is a Ghanaian, but you will hardly even know because in this country, we don't care about where you are from, as far as you are black and can speak pidgin English, then you are Nigerian to us.

The story is still not very clear. A Kenyan killed a Nigerian man and Kenyan lady few months ago with their bodies cut in pieces while in this particular case, the news was that a Nigerian was arrested but it's still not very clear who the Nigerian is or what his name/details are.

Today I also heard of speculations that it's a Mozambique national not Nigerian. So I cannot ascertain for now who did this because there seem to be speculation all over the place.

This is not to say Nigerians do not have criminals in foreign lands as do many other nationals but that this particular story is still full of speculations.

If any one is sure, they should give us the name/details of this so called Nigerian.

I see u're trying to eat up ur own very words. Ur media hasn't given the right report and ur investigators haven't uncovered the murderer yet. All these are still mere speculations.

how do u commit which stupid act? Nothing has been confirmed, not even the so called Nigerian.
