Reduce weed intake. Accra will be at Nairobi level in next century.

I'll admit I made a Mistake, Wonderboom used to host international flights however it doesn't anymore However with the Gautrain Pretoria residents can reach OR Tambo in less than 15min

Pics Wonderboom National Airport

obaaderemi:
Good of you to admit you goofed. Not many can do that on this thread.

jl115:
It was a blatant mistake from my part.......What people don't realise is defending a blatant lie/mistake makes you look even more foolish!!

Best just to man up and admit you're wrong

jl115:
Ok Pretoria wanted a BRT and didn't need it.........So how easy this argument is?

edon21:
did u find d meaning of auctmo

gallivant:


Accra is still a little shithole.

vankelvin:
Yes, it will take a century for the slumbs in Accra to get to the size of any slums in Nairobi.
And yes, it will take centuries for Accra HIV cases to reach Nairobi's level.
perhaps, people in Accra fashion sense will not deteriorate to Nairobi's level even in a Century.
Quality living standards over few high rise buildings any day any time..Slumpolis City of Nairobi China Republic of Kenya..

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:

So you agree Baghdad is better than all Nigerian cities bar Abuja and Lagos?

Yes or No?

Shma:
time will tell .

Abohboy:


Okay you have good central business districts, but what about the percentage of the population that lives in slums, outside of Kigali, Rwanda is very poor, Nairobi, Mombasa, eldoret and kisumu all have quite big slums, same applies to dar es salaam, the average person is living in a shack or a dilapidated house.

forgiveness:


I go with mercer ranking.....the one that rates Abuja and Lagos above Pretoria and other cities in South Africa bar Durban Cape town and Johannesburg.

68816419:

Smaller than Festac Lagos and Eko atlantic
Eko Atlantic/Area
25 km²

Shma:
but 500, 000 units is only possible as a vision 2030
I can't lie our government is doing that much, the huge affordable housing project in Kenya is not even up to 10,000units and that is habitat which only has 9k units..
But it's possible to have achieved that in 2030

Dlonra:


Each and every person living in those slums is a tenant who came to establish himself in the City hence population pressure. Slums are common allover fast growing Cities in Africa including South Africa, Egypt and Nigeria so don't start pretending as if you live in some first world country

KekeNash:

Motase you are watering a stone, tlogela bari

Shma:
This is not Europe.

Abohboy:



Disagree about Bangui, disagree about any Nigerian City being rated above South African, and disagree with Baghdad.

gallivant:


Even if you have trams and subways in Lagos or Kinsasha it would still be shithole Lagos and Kinsasha. Lipstick on a pig. Don't compare South African cities with slumpolis.

Shma:
we had this debate I think early this year if not late last year,
Nothing big has changed.
But thanks for that clarity.

Danielnino00:



All those parts of Nairobi you listed can be accessed in less than 2 hours.. they are like,10-30 mins drive from each other . .

Do u know the distance from Ikeja to Eko Atlantic?

gallivant:


Kinsasha is also huge. It means nothing.

Shma:
distance won't change anything, Lagos is big in terms of squire km.
Show us development in the space between, .
I guess I will see shacks and shanties

Obakillah:


Malls are private property stupid. They are also not imported, get it hobbit?

Shma:
the usual fake news from the desperate olodo

Shma:
Lagos is a true slumbolish, let the guy continue and I will blow the wide open.
Ignorance will kill them, they think distance will change everything? If a city is ugly is just ugly.
