i see an average Ghanaian has a swimming pool in the last photo, you guys are doing good.

Your sarcasm doesn't work with me. In West Africa average people live in decent houses.

samorobo:



That mean east Africa wants to colonize the rest of Africa then...try that nonsense with the north Africans before thinking of West Africa and most especially Nigerians ..let see if you would succeed

north africans are arabs not africans
black nggas must speak swahili it is a must .

Troy404:
The guy is just naive

Im not naive im stating facts.

Come to SA ask any white south african, You'll be amazed

NairobiWalker:


The data I gave you is the official 2019 census report. I can't upload a pdf file here that's why I screenshot the relevant page. The only body that provides population information is KNBS because it is the only body that counts people in Kenya. If any other source does not match KNBS then it's wrong.

You can download the whole document here

https://www.knbs.or.ke/?wpdmpro=2019-kenya-population-and-housing-census-volume-i-population-by-county-and-sub-county

But from the screen shot you uploaded, it didn't indicate the actual size of the slums dweller. it only provide data on kibera as a suburb . at my free times...

I understand kenya has no independent body who check balance govement data. and so called information which is internationally sponsored will not be count.

psychologygh:
that's what they don't know. It's called exposure. If an Ivorian was to be here on this thread, he or she would have shown you pictures of Abidjan that would have made Nairobi look like a slum or village. Abidjan has huge skyscrapers and skyline with a huge nicely kept river and water bodies running through the middle of the city with developed water and road transportation in the city's centre that only some South African cities can rival buh when it comes to living life and quality of life,an average Ivorian can never compare him or herself with an average Ghanaian because Ghanaians are far better and liver richer lives than an Ivorian that most Ivorians emigrate to Ghana with English learning schools springing around Accra everywhere and occupied by these Ivorian because they wanna assimilate into Ghanaian culture and living.

Ivorians are all over Accra buh hardly will any Ghanaian move to Ivory coast or at least enroll to learn french language. Kuffour forced French lessons on us buh almost everyone hardly learn French in school periods.

abidjan doesnot beat nairobi in skyscrapers
google top 10 skyscrapers in africa no single skyscraper from abidjan features in top 10

we told you guys when it comes to skyscrapers, malls or hotels no west african country comes closer to nairobi
look for some else like hdi which only beats kenya the others are among the worst in africa

popizaino:



Exactly, why I'm fixated on correcting the notion you have about our cities. When this pictorial view are zoom closely those are the kind of houses you see.

we have posh estates too
you dont come close european billionaires rush to kenya to buy houses in kenya

They not calling whites in particular just anyone with the right skills, health and cash to make it a home, thou others won'twon't be admited like nigerians.

During the slave trade soutg africa didnt take part, 95% percent of african american trace their ancestry to west africa.

Why do most africans think an ordinary black South African in SA is zulu?

The great shaka Zulu himself was enslaved with his men...

Zulu happens to be more popular as a tribe . maybe thru movie such as yellow card etc ..

Hey i wasnt trying to look down on Ghana, what im saying is that buildin a mall like that is not viable this time maybe in 2010 reason being to the growth of online sites,

I mean malls in many european countries like ghana are closing, but if well executed withwith some innovative ways it may just work.

But if in ghana you don't have so much online purchasing culture you good to go, but i like thethe fact that it has a hotel nearby

I totally get your point now bro.Of cos,we have the online purchasing culture which is at its infancy level and growing with time just as any developing economies. Buh this traditional mall concept is still thriving and will continue to thrive in the immediate future alongside the rapid growth of online purchasing.

Currently, Jumia and some handful of local online shopping sites which does delivery are the dominant forces in that field.As we're talking,Jack Ma of Alibaba is in Accra and holding a conference on investing in Ghana 's and Africa's online growing market.So we will get there as a nation.

kikuyu1:


You're defaulting to the Naijjan mentality repeating poo 1000x when its been DEBUNKED!
Fyi, Kibera last count had max 250K.

not even 250k recent census report puts kibra population at 187k

That is the dream of the first president ( kwame inkrumah which was short lived)...They are many black American now in Ghana doing buisness. they quickly adopt the culture and become the part of the system..

So,many educated Ghanaians travel abroad to find jobs and opportunities since your economy can't hold them while your government lies to AA to come to Ghana/Home since is a land of opportunities. Why are your skilled people don't stay in Ghana and use those opportunities?

You were too busy disputing it and beliving your source you didn't read where I addressed that. People living in Kibera slum approximately are below 120k. KNBS didn't provide the actual number of people in Kibera slum but the whole of Kibera slum is within Kibra subcounty. Kibra Subcounty constitutes Kibera slum, Ngumo Estate, Upper Hill, Woodley, Mimosa, Ayany, Olympic with Kibra slums constituting only 16% of the total area of Kibra Subcounty hence my estimation is utmost 120k people out of the total 185k living in Kibra subcounty.

Ok

Personally i don't like online shopping, i prefer traditional shopping experience. I mean whenwhen those malls close in france it results in loss of investment.

A single mall can employ 2000 people, if those shops closes an online outlet cannot consume all those who lost their jobs.

Even thou the space can be turned into office space it won't be the same.

This will have put an end to the discussion but unfortunately no such info were given apart from the international sponsored source I provided which is about 6 years old.

NairobiWalker:


Stop forcing yourself to believe what you want to believe. Here is the 2019 census population of Kibera. Remember only part of Kibera is a slum thus of the 185,000, probably less than 120,000 live in the slum (Areas like Upperhill, Woodley, Ayany, Mimosa, Olympic are part of Kibera yet are not slums). I would have attached the whole pdf file but it can't upload on this forum.

Its impossible to tell anything to anyone who believes 2 mn+ people can fit on only 2.5 km2. At least you tried!

Sammy awka millennium city is taking shape the project is moving farst

Interesting.

So Lekki a suburb in Lagos is actually bigger than Nairobi as a whole.

Something is wrong with your head. For one, your source is not even a link. Two, you claim there are 250k people in Kibera slums. From KNBS, Kibra subcounty has 185k people. Apparently, Kibera slums has more people than Kibra Subcountty which it is part of. That's like saying Accra has more people than Ghana. At this point, I am sorry but you're stupid.

popizaino:




Your sarcasm doesn't work with me. In West Africa average people live in decent houses.

then you guys are super rich
if average ghanaians live in such houses

it got me wondering where do the super rich in ghana live


anyway most average kenyans in cities live in apartments

That is exactly what you are trying to do @ bolded..most south Africans on NL don't talk unless SA(iron galaxy, xhosanostra, jaceblaze, leudsa, e.t.c) is mentioned....

You have been doing this nonsense around nairaland..forcing yourself into Nigerians conversation and mentioning SA even she was never mentioned by us....
If you were not trying to look down in them , then why did you mention the facts that half of their malls are owned by SA whilst leaving the fact that this group of SA are whites not blacks like you...you do this alot and hide behind that lies of I am not trying to look down.....

vaxx2:
Most of the south african company in Ghana are also equally owned by Ghanaian thru shares ... for example over 30 percent equity of MTN is owned by Ghanaian....

The white south africa has dollar accounts which they repatriate their profit back to in their ancestral home ... new Zealand and Australia has recently open up to welcome them back.


You can't use Hong Kong as an example cus Hong Kong buisness enviroment is mostly control by Chinese and Hong Kong been a transit is prove to that effect. Ghana is not a transit hub of any bigger economy. your geographical location matter most. new Zealand is an example of that and likewise Luxemburg whose economy activity is mostly initiated from Germany..

Nigeria having a smaller GDP per capital with bigger GDP shows the population overwhelmed the economy. this is why I am saying i don't want a bigger population but a moderate size

I doubt even your fellow Geniuses understood that!

We are not deluded like you. Kenyans have to attack Ghana so you can agree that Nigeria is better than Kenya. Don't worry your rebased bubble economy will burst soon and your real GDP will shown up. I remember in 2013 you had GDP of Usd 63bill and 2015 GDP of usd 49bill, so much growth.

I wondnt mind to call you an idiot from this stage , it seems you have reached your limit of Madness and wanted to be really chained .


You are very stupid not to be able to use the
factual citation I provided for you , you should be able to Google up such source. that is if you have a head called brain. disputing international source while accepting your own body is an act of stupidity . your country is a known corrupt country where data can be easily cooked or massaged . I will not spare you of my whip. that I promise you. your case will be worst than obaremi. I foresee you want to get mad...
