Random Kenya- Public buses

Hbuyosh:
South Africa has the biggest entertainment and media sector in Africa. That was the focus of the PWC survey.
Nigria's E&M sector, as vibrant as it seems, esp the movie and music industry is not as valuable as SA's.
SA has the advetisors, the investors and a huge middle-class consumers making that sector tick.

My first visit to Ghana was in 2000 and over the years, I have visited more than 40 times.

The road from Aflao border to Tema was very terrible but my first impression of Tema and Accra was very impressive. The stable light, constant water supply, street lights, smooth roads (though some parts were bad), low fence(unlike the wall of Jericho notable in residential houses in Lagos), traffic lights, organized police officers etc made me to be astonished due to the fact that I came from a city (Lagos) were almost all these were in nonexistent as at then. The reason for this can easily be thrased to the ineffective millitary regime.

Lagos was the shadow of itself and the disdain of the world. But take note that before the military regime all these were in place, some Koreans who witnessed it, confirmed Lagos was better than Seoul, in fact better than South Korea.

My point is that the military regime brought regression rather than progression and it was that that drew us back.

However, 18 years after our emancipation from the military regime, I can authoritatively tell you that we have witnessed massive development and progressed beyond imagination though the bad news of terrorism, kidnapping, corruption etc made more headlines in the international media than telling the real story.

Believe me, Accra was far developed than Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt 18 years ago in terms of infrastructures and development but my guy this is no longer the case because during that era there was oil boom and the profits were used to rapidly develop these cities.

Frankly speaking, Lagos and Abuja have developed beyond what Accra can imagine though they(especially Lagos) lag behind in basic infrastructures but I can tell you categorically that these are giving the needed attentions.

Though, I will agree that we should have done better but perhaps if we restructure the system of government.

Ghana was lucky to have J.J Rawlings who forever changed political system that brought stability and economic growth and progress in Ghana.

And to think that Ghanaians are craving for infrastructural development is beyond me, the outcome of the election showed otherwise.

But don't be decived that Nigeria is not progressing and doing nothing.

We know the next step to take and we are doing everything to achieve it.

Restructuring of the system of government perhaps could be the next and right step.

well having lived in lagos i can relate to some of your views, the aflao border road is still under construction just like the mile2 - badagry road which forms part of the west african highway, but i must say that there has been great improvement on the road and alternate routes. i tend to disagree that the urbanization problem of lagos was done by the military alone. it's more of a maintenance culture that needs to be encouraged among the populace, the military regime is responsible for the bridges and flyovers . the likes of third mainland to carter bridge.. the high rises along marina to cms. to the national theatre igamu this was done in the military era.. in the wake of the oil boom, but more could have been done...the problem with nigerians is maintenance culture.. lagos is witnessing what a lot of developing resilient cities like accra is going through.. the rural urban drift and poor urban planning.. which can be attributed to the government and state governments failing to create regional economic hubs just like lagos, tema is one of my best cities in west africa, the first master planned city in west africa. with proper light and drainage connections and pavements. the port city still stands the test of time till today.. it will interest you to know that the city tema has so much potential being that it's the center of the earth! i tell you! imagine wif this potential where to be in dubai..but nevertheless , we are pace setters and will make it happen.. plans are ongoing to transform the place into a world class city and crown it up with an iconic tower with some receptive facilities.. I would only compare accra with lagos as abuja is a newly planned city and port harcourt even with the oil service has no chance .. and even if i were to add abuja ..accra is doing pretty well as its listed amongst the world resilient cities and new master planned districts like the eko atlantic city and cenetary are being built.. accra is also a shadow of itself compared to its real potential but if i were to take a place to live i will take accra hands down.. i value life and security.there is this sense of freedom that leaves me when am in the streets of lagos.you know the saying.. shine your eyes when you live for lagos city.. that attitude is not welcoming.. i cherish every moment that i can be calm and feel secure that to an extent my life and property is safe.. not to talk of the light issue .. in terms of biz i will take lagos as it's the biggest commercial nerve in the region and presents immense opportunities .. it's a tough and challenging city but if u know your way around then you good to go. but even at that lagos should brace up for competition as accra is working its way up to serve as a hub of the region.. it has already been crowned the aviation hub center of west africa and more coming up. i long to see more developments from these cities tho

It looks like your planned cities are not planned at all..... how can a city lack free public amenities... The top notch hospitals you are saying are most probably private hospitals which are majorly out of reach for the common citizen. In Mombasa there are also specialist hospitals but the public ones are majority best.

MOMBASA VISAL OSHWAL PUBLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL
1. Free education offered to all students
2. Free laptops & tabs to all pupils
3. Free books & learning materials to all students
4. All co-carricular sports amenities provided free by National Government.

where did you get your assumption from? They are public hospitals built by the government of Mimiko's administration.

chkil0:


what ?? agnostic belief that there is a big power rulling the univers but not the gods of actual religions , atheist they belief only what they see, measure and exist

not necessarily, there are actually two schools of thought on agnosticism (atheist agnosticism and theist agnosticism). The definition you gave is very close to that of theist agnotisticism.
There is a difference between atheist agnotistics and atheists. Atheists do make judgment based on what they see, and that judgment is that there is no God. Atheist agnostics can't make that judgment.

Nigeria should also work on improving tourism to the country. Attractions differ from country to country.. Beaches, Wildlife, Artfacts, History... I believe so many ppl would visit places like Kano just to see and learn of the ancient times calabar can also be abig hit but they should add more activities and adventure.

At times I feel pitty to ppl like Forgiveness who will take tourist from Europe to see places Victoria Island.. seriously when someone is from more adversed countries Infrastructure is the last thing he is interested in unless they are investors...

Last but not least Nigeria should invest in great and unique accomodations.

I couldn't agree more.
Nigeria needs to recognize its tourism potential especially with the instability in oil prices. Tourism used to be a big industry in Nigeria until oil. Many of Nigeria's tourist sites are not properly maintained.

In terms if history, Nigeria has a lot to offer. There are many sites in Nigeria that are either recognized by UNESCO or are listed for consideration.

The kano medieval old city with its tubali architecture and walls.
There is also the medieval Benin walls, largest earthworks in the world.
Sungbo eredo fortress- the second largest earthworks after Benin's walls dating as back as 800 Ad (needs more exploration)
waziri Junaidu museum- hosting historical artifacts from the Sokoto region as far back as the 4th century BCE including terracotta, manuscripts, and swords.
Ile-ife
Osun-osogbo- an ancient grove containing the ruins of Osogbo as well as hosting an annual spiritual pilgrimage.
Sukurr- containing ruins of 700 year old ruins.
Esie- hosting the largest collection of soapstone carvings in the world from the 11th century
Ikom monoliths- series of monoliths dating up to 2000 years ago containing the ancient Nsibidi writings.
Badagry- A slave port with many colonial relics and also amazing beaches.

in terms if culture, Nigeria has so many cultural relics and traditions as well as hundreds of cultural festivities celebrated by its various ethnic communities.
Some best known example are
egungun festivals, eyo, argungu, new yam, carnival, durbar, etc.

many natural sites that could benefit from revitalization and tourism
Yankari, Okomu, Kanji, Gashaka Gumpti, Afi mountains, Obudu, Jos, Old Oyo, Cross river, Mambilla plateau, Lake Chad park, not to mention hundreds if km of coastal area for beach tourism.

Nigeria has grt potential but is still sleeping... the biggest attraction in Egypt are the pyramids...not the beach,cities or Animals.

Tanzania's entertainment industry is a kid in comparison to kenya. Media can really skew facts on the ground for those outside like you.

In 2015, Kenya's entertainment industry made more than KSh189bn. Nigeria made Ksh 418 bn while S.A made double that at Ksh 884 bn. Tanzania's was not even worth the study done by PwC.

Years ago tourists used to flock to Kano for the durbar festival and Yankari national park. Nigeria used to lend money to South Korea and Singapore in the 60s, look at where they've come now.

Everything is about oil now. If Nigeria loosens its dependency, then its potential can be realized.

No, you are very wrong.
The best hospitals in Nigeria are state govt owned hospitals, state and federal govt university teaching hospitals.
Medical consultation is 100% free in all Nigerian govt hospitals.

yeah, Nigeria started very well and was becoming a very great country, till oil was found and it turned our leaders into useless idiots

mtis:

where are you getting the pics man .. they are awesome..feel like want to visit some of this places

I always get to know new resorts and hotels when ever am planning for avacation. I do alot of research, Kenya has grt places to visit you will never get enough.

TayserMahiri:


There is a difference between quantity and quality. You guys make a movie like every day, your artists also release songs literally every other day. S.A on the other hand make quality things that take time to produce and in the end earn them a lot of money. There is also a lot of piracy in your country and less of that in S.A

Well, that was 2015, we have made tremendous progress last year and this year and our entertainment industry has a greater net worth than that of S.A.

Our movies for instance are now being watched in the cinemas and making millions of dollars in few weeks at the blockbusters.
This movie below should prove to you!

The best thing is to use oil money to diversify the economy. It never too late

Nowenuse, uzzyfire, look at wildlife walking freely inside a tourist resort! Can i trust you if we invited you to Kenya, especially knowing your fondness for suya? E be like saying to pikin: I am putting you inside sweet shop, don't eat sweet!!

LoL. Na u sabi.

South Korea does not have any wildlife, but they are still a world force to reckon with.
