When it comes to the Power sector Ghana is Ahead of Kenya and Tanzania in terms of installed capacity and access, Ghana has two times the installed capacity of Kenya which is very impressive in the African context considering Kenya has a Higher population than Ghana. Ghana is in a strong position to utilize this power for future commercial, retail, and industrial use.

Ghana are doing well in that sector, the important thing to look is the current connection and household without power access.

Nigeria the so called giants is only at 45%
With 20m households without access to electricity, what a disgrace

transgendered, you are on your periods again. I knew the point would fly over your empty head. Okay, let me spell it out like I am talking to a 5 year old slowpoke : The Nairobi road is poor compared to the Lagos one.

okay she-baboon, the voters were to be from S.A, Eth and others except igbos and yorubas.
You're only prone to ugly things, we understand you guys .
Even insane will tell which road is lit.

Finally you started to use your brains. You have the market dominance. You can decide anything. You can even ask Chocolate markers to go round Accra naked and they will. They cannot produce Chocolate without your cocoa beans and paste.

In fact just so they respect you - you should ask them to go round Accra dancing naked - so they can be allowed to buy them beans.

But more important than asking for premium - just ban the export of raw beans and paste - and agree as ECOWAS - and they will dismantled their factories the same way - and ship them to Accra and Abidjan.

And every farmer will start driving a car and living a middle-class life.

As for gold - Just have a few Chinese gold gangs killed in macabre way possible - and they will never think about Ghana.

Irl extra judicial methods are fast and effective! No lawyers,injunctions , adjournments, hostile witnesses and time consuming court room drama.

Back to the topic, by that small history on your screenshot,
At least we can Identify one factor that qualifies it as a planned city, the strategic place matters a lot and environmental/climatic factors are the core indicators of that.
As you can see, it originated from a cool region 'cool waters' that shows the city destination was planned, . Let's start our convo bro, we have already tackled one.

It doesn't qualify it as a planned city.


This the definition of a planned city.

new town - a planned urban community created in a rural or undeveloped area and designed to be self-sufficient with its own housing and education and commerce and recreation

I agree, and neither of the two were planned going by this logic.

We only have few planned city in Africa, I will agree that eko is one of them, konza city in kenya is another one, and partly Abuja in this context.
But when we go to urban planning, you'll realize it has more to qualify a city as planned, and by that many indices will place Lagos behind Nairobi,
Abuja is planned, that is for sure but Lagos at some level no.

Any country that Does not posses "ThermoNukes + Delivery systems (ICBMs)+ Own Satellite Navigation System + Nuclear Submarine(Boomers) + SLBMs" is at the mercy of USA and Its allies.

That is why you will not see any US(NATO) attack on Russia, India and China. There may be Economic sanctions, restrictions but there will be never an All out war between NATO and Russia, India, China (Unless its Armageddon day and everyone wants to do suicide as well). There will be mutual assured destruction of all.

NO ONE IS SAFE IN THIS WORLD EXCEPT THESE 3 COUNTRIES.

You can hit your neighbor if you are sure that he dont any any capability and resources to harm you in any way ie he is unarm, But you will not do this against neighbor who has an assault rifle and has same resources,capabilities to hit you in the same manner, Unless you are crazy and ready to die as well. This is reality of the world.

Duude!!! You must join the coffin dancers now. You're misusing your phd here! In the 21st century population means zilch. In fact even in the past population never meant much, compared to money, weapons, training, morale and strategy. And theres no military strength without money. Money rules, thats why the US outlasted the soviets, its why Russia cant stand the US today despite having comparative weapons. Its also why China and India are minnows to the US. They have billions of people but cant stand the US. So nah, your phd is weak!!!

@forgiveness, this is where we'll land if we go by your logic
Some cities were planned to be capital, just like Abuja, and all projects applied was to be at per with capital city standards.
Same to Konza, Konza is a planned city currently underway.
It started from scratch just to suit city dream of its own. Take a look.

This is a project in kenya
It's destined to be one of the cities in kenya.

Take a look at Topographical layout.

Kenya is also building dwarf city that will rival the likes of Casablanca.
A well planned city.

With this low level of intellect bro, I must say Im impressed that your kin managed to conquer SA.

i didn't come up with new words bru, I simply showed you were you said that the intentional spreading of Aids in SA was the main/root cause why SA has higher infection rate than its neighbors.

Well Sammy I've spoon fed you with regards to the ARA , Enugu property and more recently "if im white" debates. I've brought sources,citations, proof and screenshots, you on the other hand have brought no facts,no proof, no citations and when you are exposed you act dumb.........................Honestly I've become bored of you mate, you never bring anything to the table when we debate.

the fact is I want a challenge, I want somebody who can bring proof and sources of their claims.............That's why I love debating with guys like kikuyu1 as crazy as his believes are, he always cites sources when making arguments(as crazy as they are wink ) same with guys like Danielnino00 Just30 and obaaderemi.

So between you and me Sammy..........Its been real my boy cool but don't worry I'll still quote you when you post b.s, but we ain't debating about it

There is difference between Lagos state and Lagos city. Lagos state comprises of cities and towns within Lagos state while, Lagos city, Ikeja, Lekki, Eko Atlantic, Ojo, Ikorodu, Epe, Badagry etc are cities and towns within Lagos state.

Now, Lagos city was initially made up of Lagos Island, Ikoyi and Victoria Island before mainland (Yaba) was added, these areas were planned. This is what I mean by Lagos was planned.

Apart from Lagos city, Ikeja, Lekki and Eko Atlantic are also planned.



Lagos was an orderly urban environment 70 years ago. This was the case from the 1950s, when the city was a federal territory through to the 1960s when it became federal capital – a status it held until 1991.

The foundations of orderliness for any city are planning and management. Lagos had this in place in the early days. The city was governed by an elected Lagos City Council, Nigeria’s oldest, established in 1900. It was governed according to colonial legislation, particularly the 1948 Building Line regulations and the 1957 Public Health Law.

The city was much smaller and was made up of Lagos Island (Eko) which included Ikoyi and Obalende neighborhoods. It was a beautiful environment that featured Portuguese, Brazilian, and British Victorian architecture. Its streets were clean and tree-lined. Urban crime was virtually non-existent

Konza is not underway but dead...it was initiated in 2009 but nothing to show for it....Eko Atlantic started land reclamation around in 2013 and by 2016 they were done with fastwoed to 2019 and all roads, bridge,sewage system,waterways was completed...
