Cocoa mall, Ibadan

Serious guys but i think this Shoprite thingy is unbecoming..its like everytime i see a Shoprite i think of a smiling South African somewhere

Eastwalk:
Ibadan

Don't mind them, they like to post pictures of Ibadan old city as if that's the only part of Ibadan.

3 American chains
KFC, Domino's Pizza, and Coldstone icecream creamery recently opened restaurants in the "apparent slum" of Ibadan and that's not including other Western franchises and international chains.
Fact: "Ugly" Ibadan's cocoa house was the tallest skyscrapper in Africa for a brief period in 1965. It was built by cocoa money from the agriculture and industrious will of the local people and farmers and not by Europeans or any foreigners.

Someone claimed Nairobi had a higher GDP per capita than lagos and refused to prove his claim. I thought you were the one, maybe l was wrong but it should be one of you.
By the way, what the hell is lamu?

Im not sure Lamu is anything

True. That tower is Ugly man. How come Ibadan had the first skyscraper in Africa yet now it barely has a skyline? Smaller towns in Kenya such as Eldoret have more impressive skylines than Ibadan?

At least for Nairobi it's Kibera alone. In Nigeria, whole cities such as Ibadan and Lagos have water pipes running through sewages.

To be honest, Bodija (both old and new), Ikolaba, Dugbe, Jericho, Idishin, Mokola, Iyagukun, Agodi, Oluyole etc have water pipes connect to every houses.


Ikeja (Maryland, Anthony, Allen, Opebi, etc), Ilupeju, Surulere, Yaba, Victoria Island, ikoyi, Eko Atlantic City, Lagos Island etc all have water pipes connected to every houses.

MPSA, where are you? I am coming for Your beautiful cities now because you brought up this Tsunami.

I am curious.What question did you ask him?

I asked him why the inequality figures and corruption figures in Kenya was so high. You know we Nigerians complain about the corruption, so I was shocked to see that Kenya's figures are worse.

@9jakool, your last picture of Ibadan in the 60s nearly brought tears to my eyes.My father has something like that in his archive.It was in the glorious era of the regions.Those areas are now a ghost of their former selves.God bless you.

How can anyone miss dear Ibadan.
ile Oluyole. Ilu Ogunmola. the city that fought relentlessly to defend Odu'a Nation from Fulani's jihad.
I laugh when i see sad slobs are comparing wretched Kibera slums to Ibadan.

Lol "that tower is Ugly." Is that the worse you can do?
Yet Eldoret skyline can't boost of a tower as tall as Ibadan.

Kibera too has water connected but you guys would argue over it over and over producing some silly blogs as your sources.

Yes, that tower is ugly and you know it.

The tallest tower in Eldoret is actually same height with Cocoa House yet more modern and good looking.

MUPS tower Eldoret.

Impressive

No be you dey advise me to leave the guy alone?That's the same problem I have been having with him.He can't grasp simple things.So how is he gonna learn?Instead he insults and revels in his illiteracy and when you set him right,he asks the same dumb question again like the class e_diot.He's obviously a dropout.Sorry.

i will forgive you.

obaaderemi:
@vaxx. So you knew Nigeria's valuation is not possible before you started your comparison.Thank you for admitting your error.Now go and sin no more.

just like the way ghana can never be compare to lagos. Both are error. I made this comment before you open up a samsung comparism which i defeated.

Lamu old town.

The pattern are not different from the ones in Ibadan and Abeokuta though the ones in Abeokuta are more stylish.

The only difference is this are well maintained for tourism purpose.

A bad building is a bad building. When a building is disused, demolish it and build a new one

2. The names you listed, some of them are not within Nairobi and others names of the same slum (area within the same slum) while others (like Babadogo, Dandora etc) are not even slums. I could do the same for Lagos too. See.

Agege
Ajegunle
Amukoko
Badia
Bariga
Bodija
Ijeshatedo/Itire
Ilaje
Iwaya
Makoko
Mushin
Oke-Offa Babasale
Somolu

1. Sorry to say but a "bad building" is not a "bad building." Not all bad buildings are created equally. Some bad buildings need upgrades like a new roof like those found in Ibadan, Detroit, and villages in Italy. Other bad buildings like the one in Nairobi's slums and Makoko lack structurtal integrity and were not built on a structural foundation plan, they are just mere shacks of metal and scraps.


2. Do so...those areas are part of Lagos metropolitan so I don't care. Also, most of the slums are from Nairobi city itself, only a few are . The only areas that are considered slums in your list are Ilaje and Ajegunle, the rest are mixed communities of low-income and middle-income. They actually have houses, while many are low-income houses, they are not makeshift shelters of scraps.

NairobiWalker:


Again, you expose your illiteracy.

1. Is it suburbs and neighborhoods you wanted us to compare or towns? Nairobi is a city and its divided into neighborhoods. You wanted us to compare where people live, I gave you those places now you've changed goals - you want towns. Is Lagos divided into towns? Sometimes it's good to hide your stupidity.

2. Do you want to see where Kenyans live or you want to argue about city administration? You're a confused fellow. Different cities are administered differently. Nairobi city is under the Nairobi County Government - the whole of it. Nairobi's districts are simply governing boundaries there's no uniformity of standards of living within a single district. Karen for instance is in the same district with Kibera. You can't use districts to show where the lower middle class of Kenya lives. Some neighborhoods may have their own localized governing bodies that come up from a special arrangement amongst residents but such arrangements are not part of the national structure. It thus seems you're clearly scared considering you're using an excuse that has no relation to the quality of homes that you initially wanted to compare to get out of the comparison.

Conclusion - you're a troll.

Yes! Much of Lagos state is divided into towns. All these places developed simultaneously and merged together with to form the mighty Lagos urban area.

And stop giving flimsy excuses about different nairobi districts having populations of different income classes. This is also the same case with lagos state urban areas.
Some Lagos towns have people of different income classes living together.

I decline comparison because it is insane to compare Lagos suburban towns of millions of people, to Kenyan estates with a few thousand people. It's just like comparing Nairobi to west Africa.

If you have some senses, you would know that only Nairobi's districts can compare Lagos suburban towns and local govt areas.

Yeah l told him to talk about slum with caution, but he wouldn't listen. Now my dear Kenyan friends are the ones paying the price dearly.
