It's not arrogance when stating the truth, besides I never said Tanzania doesn't have influence yet some Tanzanian(could be u I dont know) claimed Tanzania has the most influence in SADC.

You can talk many stuff,but the bottom truth is,TZ has so much influence over SADC.Yes,SA had economic power,But not all things in life are achieved through showing around GDP figures.
TZ have fought wars to liberate many SADC nations which they will forever be grateful. SA never fought for anyone.
TZ is a founding member of SADC,while SA is just a newcomer

In 2006,Govt approved N30.5bn for the construction of a 500km dual-carriage way linking Kano-Jigawa-Bauchi-Yobe-Borno. The contractors(CGC) received only N3.3bn and quit work in 2010. In 2017, Fashola rewarded it and contractors have returned to work with great progress achieved.

500km for just one road..that is more than the road the entire Kenya build in a year according to their govt...

Nothing special about a city being planned or not............Either its the best city in Africa or it isn't!!

You rant to much this days...I thought reply to things like this was officially Austin's duty...good to see you've follow suit .

pacretus:
bro, you're gradually becoming a major nuisance on Nairaland, replying,responding and arguing every damn thing doesn't make you appear smart or intelligent, few years ago, you were one of those I respected their opinion but now I see them as mare ranting( not they ain't salient or true but because your contribution to what every one has to say is way too much). honestly, cut down the way you reply mentions or quotes. Just keep quite if it doesn't concern you.
You are an old member on nairaland, and by now should be more matured in handling folks on here. Cheez!!!
Except you have no life outside here, by all means continue, an idle mind is th e devils junk yard. Enjoy your day.

Very true...I take his words this days as a pinch of salt...it's doesn't hold water...

jln115:

Except there are actual indexes that rate cities.

And Cape town is not just the best in Africa but one of the best in the world

Best whattttt..best my ass

Problemkid1:
That fool is just seeking for attention. And nobody gives a flying fvck about the idiot. Nobody talks about their shitty country but he will find a way to put South Africa into the argument. Today he will talk bad about Ghana, tomorrow he will talk bad about Tanzania. What does not concern him, the white pig will put his dirty mouth inside. Anyway, Abuja is still the most planned and beautiful city in the SSA.

Months agis that use to be Austin's duty, he has finally passed the baton to jiln5..

why would other members pull out of SADC,if Tanzania does?

SADC loses nothing if Tanzania leaves but loses everything if SA leaves... As simple as that

How can SADC loose everything if SA pulls out? Do u know SADC was founded without SA? Do you know how SADC helped to end apartheid in SA? So,how can a guy who was being helped now claim to be Mr.everything in SADC? Have you even tried to think what will happen if SADC decides to isolate SA? Definitely, apartheid will resume.

jln115:
Hence why i didn't use Telegraph travel as a source

That was what you were imply...hence the empty word of those internet user cannot be taken seriously just as you also don't value opinion from quora..

The false promises, failures that have left Nairobi filthy

As Nairobi City suffocates under mounds of garbage, the county government is on the spot for its lax approach to dealing with the problem. But the blame is shared by many others.

City Hall officials, elected county leaders, business

owners and residents are all to blame.

Business owners have come under fire for using street children to illegally dump their solid waste, contributing to the rot in the city.

Unwilling to employ the services of private garbage collectors in order to cut costs, the wily businesspeople use street families to dispose of the waste.

Many alleys and streets in the central business district (CBD) and Nairobi River have borne the brunt of this action by rogue traders.

“The city centre is always dirty as business owners in the hotel industry pay street kids to pick up garbage from the backdoors of the hotels at night and dump it along the alleys,” said a trader.

Nairobi residents are not clean, either. They have turned corridors and paths in the estates and informal settlements into dumping sites.

In the CBD, they throw all forms of solid waste on the roads as they walk, and from matatus and private cars.

Then there are elected leaders in the county who have joined “cartels” in the garbage collection and disposal business.

The leaders are said to be at the heart of the garbage business in the capital city, with a number of them controlling illegal dumping sites across the county and frustrating any efforts at cleaning up the city.

Governor Mike Sonko has in the past complained about the cartels, saying his administration’s clean-up campaign was being sabotaged by cartels.

“Anyone found soliciting the services of these vicious cartels risks having their business licences revoked,” he said then.

However, the biggest blame must be shouldered by City Hall, which has failed to rein in the garbage cartels.

It has also failed to actualise any of the garbage-related projects it had promised despite millions being allocated to the Environment department to deal with the problem.

Just two months after coming into office, Governor Sonko unveiled 40 garbage trucks to help accelerate the clean-up of the county. The trucks were to be managed by Sonko Rescue Team and county staff.

They were to be used to collect domestic and other solid waste, which had been ongoing since the launch of “Operation Ng’arisha Jiji” in August 2017.

In January 2018, the county government was to place garbage containers in wards, estates and in the CBD to ease garbage collection.

This was after private garbage collectors downed their tools demanding over Sh150 million in arrears.

Youth groups

The first phase was to see the distribution of 40 such containers, with youth groups taking charge at the ward and estate levels.

Sub-county administrators were to handle collection in their zones, with each of the 17 administrators controlling two trucks.

“The first phase of this initiative will see 40 garbage containers distributed in various wards and estates with high concentration of garbage. The containers will be placed at strategic areas, with the collectors carrying out the duty on a daily basis during morning hours,” said Governor Sonko at the time.

The county boss added that henceforth, waste management would be handled at estate and ward levels, with county staff in charge of collecting the garbage from the containers and taking it to the county dump sites.

Nothing ever came out of the elaborate plan. Instead, mounds of garbage continued to pile across the county.

A month later, the governor said his administration was in the process of acquiring 25 modern garbage wagons.

He said the wagons, which were being assembled locally with the help of foreign experts, would be deployed in all the 17 constituencies in the county. Just like the projects before it, this was also never actualised.

But the governor was adamant that his administration was making progress.

As a short-term measure, he later said, the county was going to construct temporary garbage collection points across the wards, place garbage containers at strategic collection points within the CBD and place dust bins in all major estates.

These temporary dumping points were to be cleared on a daily basis.

“The ward collection points will be built using iron sheets … This will ensure Nairobians have easy access to dumping points,” the governor said.

Once again, nothing happened.

Sensing he had run out of excuses, Mr Sonko accused county staff of colluding with cartels to undermine his strategy to clean up the city.

As the county and elected leaders continue to make empty promises, Nairobi residents are left to suffer the eyesore of ever growing filth despite paying taxes to City Hall.

“No customer in their right mind would buy any arrowroots from my stall. Look at this effluent. My chest is hurting because I breathe in this foul air every day,” Ms Amondi, a vendor at Muthurwa market, said.

“If the government and the county cannot clean up this mess, then they should stop taking levies from us. Let us clean up on our own. We can do better on our own,” Stanley Saka, a businessman at Muthurwa, said.
