He's definitely a troll. I make a post referring him to 30 neighborhoods I listed and four minutes later he responds claiming he's checked all of them and made a conclusion that they're incomparable to Lagos and have no roads and no local governments. Lol.....I wonder where he checked and the speed he used to check.

the guy is angry at something i dont know..he attacks everyone even his own

NairobiWalker:


Yet you're the same person who claimed a few pages ago that Nairobi Metro has 10 million people - that alone is almost 25% of Kenya.....Maybe you want us to believe that Nairobi Metro is the only urban area in Kenya. But again, you'll always handpick some silly sources when they favor you. Believe what you want budy.

Yes i did, and according to estimates, it is very correct.

Read the link and see that Kenya just like Nigeria is urbanizing by about 4.5% every year, this means that now in 2017, Kenya should be about 34% urban while Nigeria should be about 56% urban.
The statistic was reported in 2015.

He's always angry. He comes from an underdeveloped part of Nigeria and has never travelled beyond his home. Maybe that's why.

NairobiWalker:


Sometimes I wonder, do you guys have Google maps in Nigeria? You're so hell-bent on this slum thing pushing in everyone's face how 60% of Nairobi is slums. Why don't you go to Google maps and see for yourself? Why don't you view Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Kisumu, Eldoret, Kutale, Thika, Nyeri, Kisii, Machakos, Kakamega and every other Kenyan town and tell us if you can view those 60% slums? What do you get from repeating a lie that's been told over and over and convincing yourself that it's true?

loooll are u people not hell bent on saying Nigeria's GDP is false, wen d whole world knows its d largest in Africa

Do you really have a brain? Aren't you the same guy who said I am a liar when I said Kenya's urban population is 35% citing CIA as your source that placed it at 25%? I think I should take mtus advice. You're just a troll.

My guy I didn't fall for it o. I've met a Ghanaians in Jos doing so menial jobs in a mining site and another one in Bauchi as hotel attendant. These Ghanaians speak hausa well not to talk of Yoruba.

how jos nah, hope una Neva freeze for there lol

Nasarawa state government is serious because they generate more revenue from Karu local government area which shares boundary with Abuja than Lafia the state capital.

Yes you are correct.
I think Karu LGA currently should be more populated and wealthier than Lafia LGA where the state capital is.

But Niger state also has Suleja, Madalla and other urban areas spilling over from FCT.

Nowenuse:


I have checked out almost all these places you mentioned and what i observed is that most of these places you listed are just estates and neighbourhoods. Whereas some of the places i am listing for you in Lagos are entire local govt areas and towns with hundreds of thousands to millions of people, dozens of estates, streets/neighbourhoods that function almost independently of Lagos city.

I have now really concluded that there is no need to compare Lagos and Nairobi.

no city in Africa can be compared to Lagos, heck a lot African countries can even compare to Lagos

NairobiWalker:


Sources, sources, sources. Are those sources more credible than Google earth? How many times should I tell you those so called sources are stupid NGOs wanting to rip big? Why don't you check on Google maps and see the REAL image of Nairobi before you make such assertions?

So Google Earth will tell me the number of slums in Nairobi?

Google Earth will tell me the number of communities in each slums?

Google Earth will tell me the number of people living in those slums.

Slums can be small when measured by area but will contain 20 - 25 times the population of those in a well planed area. You can have 15- 25 families in a 100 *100 meter square. But this will only contain 1 family in a well planed area.


Do you need a simple picture to help with this?


From the pics below, it easy for of me to claim slums are 100 times more populated than planned areas.

this is a complete garbbage utterance. if i have my way ,i will have slap you overthere for being too foolish.

how will a born and breed ghanian be able to speak yoruba and hausa toghether.even if he is able.how can he be able to write it perfectly like a native speaker. do you think yorub and hausa is study as as a subject in ghana. You are too dull for my liking.

you said abuja is 37 district. i will like you to provide unbiased link that support your claim. you said what is in jos？ here i am lost. you have to enlighten me. i stay very close to semchark opposite unijos along bauch road.
Am a proper jos broughtup.

if i will repeat my self again. am a full blown yoruba from oshogbo osun state. again for you to know i am an ifa faith adherent. omo oroki asala ni mi. abi ghanian dey do ifa. so shut up.

You listed those areas of Nairobi yesterday morning and i responded to your comment this morning (1 full day interval), is that not enough time for me to check out the places you listed in the planet you live in?? Jeeez!

It's obvious that you are the one without a brain!

When you mentioned Kenya being 35% urban (since you are using 2017 estimates) why then did you mention Nigeria being around 40% urban, close to Kenya?? (when even 2015 Nigerian estimate was 47% urban) If not that your stupidity is alarming?

I will always refer you to your own comments, look at it below and see how you are just embarrassing yourself!

Mambilla is colder than Jos even somewhere around obudu in cross river is also very cold.

You keep posting different photos of the same area and exaggerate that those are the 200 slums of Nairobi. You then say Nairobi is 2/3 slums. Seriously anyone with a brain won't be able to notice a city that is 2/3 slums on Google maps. If you look on Google maps 90% of Nairobi is better planned than Lagos, 90% of Nairobi is well planned estates with good greenery and Parks. Ask yourself where are the 67% slums? Google maps gives you the real image of an area. Stop relying on misleading blogs. Nairobi has a log of high rise residential estates thus it's not just the slums that have large density and even it was so, at least 40% of the city area would be slums to attain the 2/3 you keep throwing around. Interestingly we've given you real population figures from KNBS but you chose to give me links of blogs written by people some who've even never stepped in Nairobi.

Dude, a city that's 67% slum can be seen very clearly on Google maps. Apart from SA, Botswana, Namibia and maybe Harare - Nairobi is the most impressive city in Sub Saharan Africa on Google maps. How someone decides it's 67% slum only God knows.

Dwellings in Kibera, Nairobi Kenya (ca. 2008)
Kibera (Nubian: Forest or Jungle[1] ) is a division of Nairobi Area, Kenya, and neighbourhood of the city of Nairobi, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the city centre.[2] Kibera is the largest slum in Nairobi, and the largest urban slum in Africa.[2] [3] [4] The 2009 Kenya Population and Housing Census reports Kibera's population as 170,070, contrary to previous estimates of one or two million people.[5] Other sources suggest the total Kibera population may be 500,000 to well over 1,000,000 depending on which slums are included in defining Kibera. [6] [7] [8] [9]
Most of Kibera slum residents live in extreme poverty, earning less than $1.00 per day. Unemployment rates are high. Persons living with HIV in the slum are many, as are AIDS cases.[10] Cases of assault and rape are common. There are few schools, and most people cannot afford education for their children. Clean water is scarce. Diseases caused by poor hygiene are prevalent. A great majority living in the slum lack access to basic services, including electricity, running water, and medical care.
The Government initiated a clearance programme to replace the slum with a residential district of high rise apartments, and relocating the residents to these new buildings upon completion.
The neighbourhood is divided into a number of villages, including Kianda, Soweto East, Gatwekera, Kisumu Ndogo, Lindi, Laini Saba, Siranga, Makina and Mashimoni.

So according to you Kenya's urban population rose from 25% to 35% within two years? (2015 - 2017). Dude get yourself a brain.

I posted yesterday morning, today you responded like I had not posted anything. It's clear that you hadn't seen them or paid attention to them till I reminded you to. Having low IQ makes you believe everyone is at your level of reasoning.

Again I asked you a question that you haven't answered. Where did you check them out? Did you fly to Nairobi? You seriously need a new brain.

Anyway, I thought you wanted us to post pictures of those neighborhoods. What happened?

So you chose to ignore the source from Kenya Population census that actually counted people in Kibera and placed the population at 170k and believe 'other sources' that you don't know just because they place the population at 1 million? Lord have mercy.

I didn't say it o. I posted many links to back up the claims. UN Habitat didn't get there by magic.

The population of kibera slums depends on which community (slums) is added or removed. 2/3 of people in Nairobi are slum dwellers. You can keep post pictures of Nairobi's few planned areas from different angles.

It is clearly stated in the post you quoted. It depends on which slums are included in Kibera but it goes above 1 million if put together. Not to talk of other slums a bit far from kibera.


The main kibera has 13 communities but adding others to it will easily push the number above 1 million in that area alone.

The list below counted 21 communities in Kibera alone.

You don't even understand things you post yourself do you?

1. You didn't mention which source places the population at 1 million.

2. Your article says other sources (not mentioned) suggest the total Kibera population may be 500,000 to well over 1,000,000 depending on which slums are included in defining Kibera. They SUGGEST not SAY. And they suggest it is between 500k and 1M depending on which slums are included. This means if all the slums are included according to those sources the population is 1M and if they're not, the population is 500k.The UN is not mentioned anywhere. Meanwhile the article gives the population as based on a census that actually took place at 170k. This includes all slums within Kibera. Interesting to note is that Kibera is fully within the former Langata constituency which has a population of 250k. This means that even if we were to count everyone within Langata as within Kibera the population would never reach 500k.

Despite this you chose to believe an unknown source over actual census figures.

3. Please, I ask you once more to revisit Google maps. It's eye opening. Otherwise if it makes you sleep well at night then you can believe Kibera has 10 million people if you want to. It's tiring arguing with someone that just refuses to see the reality because he doesn't like it.

4. UN-HABITAT didn't come to Nairobi because of Kibera. It chose Nairobi because of Nairobi's status in Africa - same way most other multinationals are choosing Nairobi. If Lagos was a better city than Nairobi perhaps UN HABITAT would be located there. Going by your logic, Rome is the hungriest city in the world with most starving people and that's why FAO is headquartered there.
