That is the difference in the thinking of Citizens in both Countries.
A Ghanaian think about quality living but a Kenyan think about High-rise buildings and Estates.
At the end a Ghanaian will eat and sleep comfortably whereas a Kenyan will starve and live in a Slum.

edon21 can you show me Abuja's BRT system..................Here is the BRT system in Pretoria :

jln115:
Pretoria has 2 Universities in the top 1000 in the world and 1 in the top 1500...........How many universities does Abuja have in the top 2000 edon21?

vankelvin:
All Nairobi has above Accra is high-rise buildings and planning, that's it.
There is nothing that Nairobi has over Accra apart from those 2 things.
Entertainment
Sports facilities
Good roads
Educational facilities
Electricity
Water
Salary
Security/safety ETC?

That your Kampala bullsh*t will not wash.
If you like post pictures of Kampala make we see?

edon21:
transportation flexibility is a major factor of a developed city but having a brt system is not a must. There are developed countries that don't have brt in all their cities. Does it make Pretoria better than them? Hell no.
Abuja has smooth roads, people that live there are mostly rich people who prefer their personal vehicles. There are also taxis. There ain't a transport problem here hence no dire need for a brt. Got it?

Kuruptnigga:
Quit posting the bad place you prick

edon21:
does New York have the best university in the world or even in USA? No but do they have universities.. Yes. Ranking of universities are based on development and performance. Abuja definitely has a university. U should be more concerned about asking if the infrastructure exists and not the ranking.
Let me ask you. Does Pretoria have an airport?

jl115:
Uhm no I don't "got it" since Pretoria also has smooth roads(if not better) and people can also use there own vehicles and taxis....The brt system is there to help congestion and give people a cheaper faster travel option...........Something Abuja doesn't have!

Also Pretoria is is richer than Abuja so I don't get the "mostly rich people" excuse!!

vankelvin:
Your are sensible.
Exactly what I have been saying all these while.
Speaking the truth does not make you weak or inferior as some people think.
There are some debates that are not needed. We all have eyes to see so no need being over Patriotic here cos it sometimes become more like stupidity.
There are a number of areas where Nigeria Or Ghana beats South Africa or East Africa, so in any debate, we should focus on those positive areas and leave these City Comparisons cos we are not there yet, maybe 10 years time we will overtake them but for now, we should swallow our pride.

Shma:
you can't compare greater Accra with a metropolitan city, that's a big joke.
Kenya is not nigeria, so don't drag us on electricity mess.
Education facilities,?? Lol!!!
What do you Mean by facilities.
Salary?? Ooh my goodness, my Ghanaian friends want to stick in Kenya due to better salaries and you're here talking out of ignorance.
In simple term, we pay our civil servants more than you do.
Security??, what do you Mean?
Even the worst place in kibera security has been reinforced, talk more of other states.
Water distribution I will agree Accra beats kenya.
Good roads?? Bro, are you just typing?
Go check quality road index then come back.
Sport facilities??

Bro, you're ignorant

jl115:

However does NY have some of the best Universities in the World? yes it does!

And Pretoria has 3 Universities that have been voted as some of the best in the world!..........Never mind the dozens of private universities like Damlin,Varsity College,Denver College ect ect

edon21:
u don't build what you don't need. Why doesn't Pretoria have an airport...

vankelvin:
The ignorant person here is definitely you.
You are struggling to make sense here,
I said ACCRA, so why show your ignorance by saying Greater Accra? Are you alright?

edon21:
so is universities a criteria for ranking a city. Even if it is so.. Don't u get it.... The ranking if a university is based on its performance. We all know that George is rated higher than Pretoria but does it have better universities?

jl115:
it has rated Abuja and Lagos.... It didn't rate Pretoria...

However Numbeo did rate Pretoria and it rated it much much much higher than both Abuja and Lagos

And yes Mercer is very reputable

If we use Forgiveness logic the Baghdad ranks higher than all Nigerian cities bar Abuja and Lagos

jl115:
If Abuja doesn't need it why
does it want a $100 million loan from the African development bank to build a BRT in Abuja?

And Pretoria does have an International Airport

Wuoche:

Show him this.

edon21:
really? Which one

jl115:
YES education is one of the criteria when ranking a city!

And George has a university/ies - NMU George, University of South Africa - George, South Cape College, ETA college ect ect

rvp2018:
Underwhelming.

jl115:
Like you told me: type this words in google: "Abuja BRT"

Shma:
Accra is greater Accra Mr. That's your hyping title.
And by those terms; Nairobi metropolitan and greater Accra, your ignorant brain should have tell you not to conduct any comparison.
Those terms alone speaks volume.

edon21:

Please which international airport does Pretoria have and I never told you to type Abuja brt

jl115:
If Abuja doesn't need it why
does it want a $100 million loan from the African development bank to build a BRT in Abuja?

And Pretoria does have an International Airport

jl115:
Didn't you tell me to type" most advanced city in Africa" in to google? or was that forgiveness

vankelvin:

This guy is too dumb..
I am talking about ''Accra as a City'' and not the Greater Accra Region so stick to the issues and stop being ignorant here.
Your Nairobi is the only important area in the whole of that your Nairobi Metropolis so be clear in your mind..

edon21:
dont Deviate. Where is the international airport in Pretoria

edon21:
there is aumtco already. Brt is a "want " in Abuja not a "need"
