Now Kenyans are discovering that Nigerians are truly blessed with every state having at least one city. Imagine putting all this infrastructure in just 6 states.

Please Nigerians, spare us the hype. Are these the cities?

TayserMahiri:


Please Nigerians, spare us the hype. Kano and Owerri are quite something else. Are these the cities?

The first picture is kano state,it isn't a slum,it is a reflection of the ancient hausa cum arabian adobe-nubian styled architecture which depicts their past civilizations,the pic was taken from a vertical position on the dala hills overlooking the old kano,if you look closely you would notice that the roofs are beein replaced with modern roofing sheets,some of those buildings are centuries old,you can do your research,the new kano metropolice got new western styled architecture, check up brains and hammers economic city,kwankwasiya city,emir estate,estates around bypass,corner dawaki,kano municipal,g.r.a etc

The second pix isn't a slum,magnify and zoom into the pix, you would see,that those houses are all new estates springing up,some are still undergoing construction,they are alotted through real estate developers in tandem with the urban renewal,regeneration,and master plan of the city,a decade ago,all those area were still virgin and undeveloped,


I would be elated,if you could be unbiased with your judgements

Well then, I must say they are quite unplanned. No zoning, seems like everyone builds what they want wherever they want.

Muafrika2:

Most of what you label "CITIES" in Nigeria would be referred to as TOWNS in Kenya. There are strict standards here for labelling urbanized centers. Infrastructure, size and administration.

If we called every urban center with afew high rise building a city like am seeing is the norm in Naija, ... let's say we just wont.

Dull Kenyans always make me laugh.

In every state, there are villages, towns, city/cites and there are old settlement built long before independence. If a picture is posted about a state, it doesn't necessarily mean they are pics of the capital city. Like the recent pics arinzeejikonye post about Imo state, most are developing areas that might not even be close to the city at all.

Kenyans never use their brain.
City != town != villages but all the pictures are being posted about the state.

I know you people are so scared to post pictures of your villages and old settlement but I can post them 4 you.

Why not post nigerian villages. Stop derailing the thread. Nowhere to run to

TayserMahiri:

Can you show us some of your villages and old settlement? No, because you are ashamed.

We have old settlement in Benin, Ibadan, kano, sokoto etc that have being in existence before the white knew Africa and they still exist till date. Then your forefathers were still jumping from tree to tree in Kenya.

Nah,maybe you thought wrong or you are mistaken,it could be that the aerial view was shot in aposition that didnt reflect the masterplan,the estates you see comes in different categories,some semi detatched,some bungalows/flats,some duplexes,some terraces,some multiplex,etc,variety is the spice of life

Our forefathers homes. Lamu, old Swahili settlement

What you posted is a town not a village.

You can keep deceiving yourself but this are recent pictures of some Kenyan villages.

Oh, so Nigeria does not have villages? Tell me so that we go down the route
You asked old settlements and I shared Old Lamu

You might want to spare the 17 % power with the slow 3 G

arinzeejikonye:


I feel the sarcasm laced with brutal forthright correctness you tryna assert,if nigeria succeeds,africa succeeds invariably,we are rediscovering,renegotiating the geographical contraption and british experimentation,every facet of nigerian entity is engulfed in multiplicities of marginalizations fused in myriads of shapes and sizes,some clamouring for balkanization and disintergration,de-amalgamation,desolution of political structuralizations and some wishing for reconstitution and politico-economic restructuring.......

The polical vampires already restrategizing on how to devour and win the next electoral trophies,and the vicious circle is strategically re-enginered and recaliberated to keek spinnig amongst them-so detasteful and unbecoming we keep making the same mistakes,and the stasus quo seems inexplicably irredeemable.


No matter who rigs best,be he igala,idoma,igbo,ijaw,isoko,kanuri,fulani,esan,bini,yoruba,hausa,urhobo,igede,ngas,birom,nupe,effik,ibibio,tiv,ogoja,jukun,kabaa,ebira,okun,egun,bakassi,lebanese,shuwa arab,vom,ngwa,ikwere, etc the issues keep worsening,becase the system,structure and foundation is flawed,surely if we dont address this cancerous fundamental issues,i'm afraid ,there aint gonna be any breakthrough.


Owerri, imo state in pictures

Really?!
Is all this English necessary?
I once met a nigerian not too long ago, who told me a surefire way to tell an igbo apart from other nigerians is when they launch into a tirade of quick, incomprehensible, jibberish, feverish and unnecessary outbursts​ of language. Especially when agitated.
are you an igbo bro?

TayserMahiri:

TayserMahiri:

You dummy I go out every day and come back at night to charge my phone. Power is not my problem as I have many ways of charging my phones.

For your information 4G is not a new thing in Nigeria.

Now you can see its 27% so you can cry if you like.

What i opined isn't gibberish,nor is it nonsensical,i am been honest,candid and assertive,you should not misconstrue nor misinterprete my message,you can check the verasimilitude of my assertion to see if i'm misrepresenting reality,there are disaffections and dissatisfactions from the quaters that constitute nigeria,if you cross-check you would clearly observe that no one on this thread have promoted nigeria like i have done,that doesn't mean,i shouldn't say things the way they are,that would be deception,cowardice and hypocricy,anybody that tells you that all is well with nigeria is shying away from the truth,if fragmentation becomes the bone of contention,surely nigeria would be better for it,as issues of national concerns will be readdresssed by the people,because the polical etite and establishment give no damn about the issues,they collectively become detribalised in acts of missappropriation,embezzlement,cronism,corruption,and achieve this by playing the strategy of ethno-religious card, the berom,gwari,hausa,yoruba,igala,idoma,ogoja,igbo,ngas,kabaa,etc are all marginalized in one way or the other,so it isnt just about tribe.hope you get the picture.

I will always lash out to Nigeria for unfulfilled promise and by corrupt leaders.

But to put Kenya and Nigeria in the same sentence is very insulting to Nigeria. It is like talking about America and Nigeria together developmentally. Americans will feel insulted.

Nigeria may not be peers to America, just as it is definitely not peers with Kenya. Kenya should compare itself to Uganda and Tanzania.

Meanwhile, Enugu, Nigeria

Onitsha, Nigeria


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AMOXXSJQ0Q

What about those roads?. That's nothing to show about you Nigerian.

Some kenyan roads and rail, SOuthern bypass

More

They are numerous over here,and more under construction

We got them too many,yet still insufficient

We can conclude by saying
1. Abuja is better than nairobi in every facet
2. Lagos is better than Mombassa
3. Port Harcourt is better than Kisumu
4. Enugu is better than Eldoret
5. Minna is better than Thika
6. Maiduguri is better than Nakuru.

......and there ends all kenyan cities.
Meanwhile i have not mentioned top cities as Ibadan, Calabar, Kano, sokoto, onitsha,kaduna, owerri, uyo, warri, akure, ilorin, benin city, yola, bauchi, jos, makurdi, etc.

Not to mention newer cities as yenagoa, awka, osogbo, birnin kebbi, asaba, abakaliki, eket, lafia, jalingo, dutse etc.
So why compare kenya to nigeria?

It is definition of madness.

Some of 'em,though insufficient

Many of 'em, still not enough

Many of 'em,yet not enough

Conclusions based on what? Population? Because there you win hands down, being that you guys have not learned family planning.

Who is talking about population?

INFRASTRUCTURE!

As a matter of fact,
Only two cities exist in Kenya 1. Nairobi, 2. Momsassa.

The rest like Kisumu are slums or hamlet villages. To compare Kenya to even one geopolitical zone in Nigeria is an insult.

Little wonder Every picture you have showed is NAIROBI!

You guys need to name that country Nairobi, because that is the only thing there.

How many cities in nigeria can beat kisumu, other than Lagos and Abuja? I thought we agreed the rest of nigerian cities are mega slum cities? Superbly disorganized settlements! And Lagos falls here too to some extent

Of course I know you cannot stand Nairobi, because she beats all Nigerian cities/ slums/ settlements hands down. Just understand Nairobi bro, she doesnt mess around with people

Kisumu CITY
