KarmaKill: DEFINITION The term "skyscraper" was first applied to buildings of steel framed construction of at least 10 stories in the late 19th century, a result of public amazement at the tall buildings being built in major cities like Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Detroit, and St. Louis.[3] The first steel-frame skyscraper was the Home Insurance Building (originally 10 stories with a height of 42 m or 138 ft) in Chicago, Illinois in 1885. Some point to Philadelphia's 10-story Jayne Building (1849–50) as a proto-skyscraper, or to New York's seven-floor Equitable Life Building (New York City), built in 1870, for its innovative use of a kind of skeletal frame, but such designation depends largely on what factors are chosen. Even the scholars making the argument find it to be purely academic...... The Emporis Standards Committee defines a high-rise building as "a multi-story structure between 35–100 meters tall, or a building of unknown height from 12–39 floors" and a skyscraper as "a multi-story building whose architectural height is at least 100 m or 330 ft. Some structural engineers define a highrise as any vertical construction for which wind is a more significant load factor than earthquake or weight. Note that this criterion fits not only high-rises but some other tall structures, such as towers. The word skyscraper often carries a connotation of pride and achievement. The skyscraper, in name and social function, is a modern expression of the age-old symbol of the world center or axis mundi: a pillar that connects earth to heaven and the four compass directions to one another.[8] A loose convention of some in the United States and Europe draws the lower limit of a skyscraper at 150 m or 490 ft. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyscraper Bhuuuhahaha! Based on the first @bolded Lagos has 8 skyscrapers completed than the whole of Kenya. Sorry With about 10 skyscrapers with the minimum height of 100m under construction. ![]() DEFINITION OF HIGHRISE Various bodies have defined "high-rise": Emporis Standards defines a high-rise as "A multi-story structure between 35–100 meters tall, or a building of unknown height from 12–39 floors." ![]() ![]() According to the building code of Hyderabad, India, a high-rise building is one with four floors or more, or 15 to 18 meters or more in height... The International Conference on Fire Safety in High-Rise Buildings defined a high-rise as "any structure where the height can have a serious impact... In the U.S., the National Fire Protection Association defines a high-rise as being higher than 75 feet (23 meters), or about 7 stories.[5] Most building engineers, inspectors, architects and similar professionals define a high-rise as a building that is at least 75 feet (23 m) tall.[citation needed] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_block Based on the definition @bolded, Lagos has more highrise than the whole of Kenya. While Abuja and Port Harcourt has more than Mombasa. sorry ![]() 123 Highrises (completed and underconstruction) Please, note that I didn't add 8 completed skyscrapers and the 10 underconstruction.

kikuyu1: You may be right to an extent. I would imagine its something akin to what's been happening to Mugabe after he chased the whites. Its a way of Western control of African governments and protection of their economic interests. May be he did just a part of it ![]() He was a Luo, right? What about the stories of cannibalism? Last time I checked Luos did not have that kind of reputation. |

The person responsible for creating this thread need to have his mental faculty checked out. Why, would someone in a good state of mind be comparing Nigeria to kenya, what is this a joke, kenya i mean seriously kenya to Nigeria? Most of the argument going on here are even stupid, seriously people can be this ignorant in this age and time, imagine someone saying kenya has a satelitte launch capability, the FFFUK. Why would an educated and resonable fellow be camparing Nairobi with Lagos, the money,economic activities(formal/informal, legal/illegal) that flows in lagos a day is bigger than that of the entire nation of kenya. Tell me why would america be comparing itself to brunei. Why will america compare itself to switzerland. Why will china compare itself to singapore ,macau. Why would britain be comparing itself to norway. Why would south africa comparing itself to mauritainia,namibia. Why would Nigeria be comparing itself to kenya,ghana,benin,ivory coast. Why, because we are not in your league. 3 Likes |

A recent report by Internet World has shown a huge increase in ‘Googling’ throughout the country, with Nigeria coming out top. With IT and Software companies experiencing major growth, and Media and Professional services closely behind – it seems every sector is being well represented across this diverse country as it continues to develop at a very fast pace.

Two of the most significant and biggest project in africa. The Nigeria-Morocco pipeline will have a positive impact on over 300 million inhabitants, Bourita said, noting that it would speed up electrification projects across West Africa, and serve as a basis for the creation of a competitive electricity regional market. http://northafricapost.com/17865-nigeria-morocco-gas-pipeline-project-taking-shape.html He said the project would be the single largest stream in the world. “The refinery and fertiliser projects will create job opportunities for the communities and Nigerians when it becomes operational. “The refinery will have a refining capacity of about 650,000 barrels of crude a day,’’ he said. Alake said the project would force down the price of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) in the country and save money spent on importation. He said that projects such as these would optimise government revenue and wean Nigeria from relying solely on oil. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/09/dangote-17bn-dollars-refinery-create-300000-jobs-official/ 1 Like |

Dude, I can't even list all buildings over 12 floors in Nairobi. There are some neighborhoods where all residential buildings are over 12 floors with no names. The fact that you can even list ALL buildings in Lagos with over 12 floors is testament how you have so few of them. Anyway I couldn't help but notice from your list you have only 10 complete buildings over 20 COMPLETE floors in comparison to Nairobi's 22 lol. Buildings over 20 floors. Nairobi - 22 Lagos - 10 |

sirjerry:authough we have change your style of argument to more of educational impact. it seems you are new and you want to over hype. nigeria can even be compared to somalia depending on the yarstick you want to use in measuring. Usa and canada are always compared by forbes. So what make nigeria case diffrence. London as a city generate second largest income behind newyork and per with tokyo in the whole world. But it is absolutely wrong to even compare london with nigeria. You can compare country against each orther in whatever form. And not city to a country about 65 percent nigeria gdp comes from lagos: therefore lagos is an important strategy in niigeria economy: country like germany and usa have a diffrent city with diffrent amount of income but it aeems nigeria is modeling uk where most of the income are largely from one or two cities. |
