See dude Nairobi has more skyscrapers than Capetown by a long margin but Cape town happens to be the most developed city in SA...so magical, so beautiful..
Building there are mostly ranging from 5-10 flrs only if recent they saw a few building above 20 flrs...compare Capetown to European top cities and it will.put up a good competition..

Cape Town is one of the most developed city here

samorobo:


I am not in any way pained , I am not a SAns...but thing here is with the truth and fact..you guys have this stupid ego ..always raising your third city up and rubbishing others...whether you like it or not nairobi is no where near menlyn in Pretoria which apparently is also not a CBD in Pretoria...stop Insulting them by comparing nairobi or saying you are aiming them when your best is no where near their worst...

We want to compare with Lagos and Abuja, not Pretoria. You should not hide behind South African cities.

rvp2018:
We are exactly 15yrs from South Africa. I cannot say the same about Nigeria. You will never get there. I mean what more would Nigeria need if 1 trillion dollars from Oil never changed your fortunes.

Kenya we will do it without any minerals.

In 15 years time you will be in your Africa level development..nothing near first world...I can bet my last finger to that....you need to be brutally told the simple fvcking truth...you are too allergic to hearing things like this becos of your inflated ego...

I have said severally that Nairobi is very very near Joburg. The first time I went to Joburg about 15yrs ago - I don't think I could ever say that. But 15yrs later - I can say Nairobi is 10yrs from Joburg.

samorobo:


You claimed to be a TZ right so I wonder why you are hurting about a convo that has nothing to do with you ..Afterall again it was rvp that brought SA cities in a d made it the topic of discussion...everyone is free to air out their opinion had regards to the topic he created..

why should we insult them when we all know they are ahead., the truth is nairobi is aiming at Joburg level and in 10years or so, we'll overtake it. .

Right, my opinion is that you are ashamed of Nigerian slumpolis hence the drivel...

We are at 100b dollars. South Africa are at 350 (pre covid). 15yrs ago - Kenya GDP was 15B in 2005 - and South Africa was 25B- we have grown 7 times more. Now if we repeat the same magic - we will be - 700B in 2035. About twice as rich as South Africa now.

South Africa I doubt can double their GDP - they are very sick from a terminal disease called the middle class trap.

In 15yrs they have grown from 250 to 350B - and that was not so bad a period for them - now they are very sick - so they be able to do 400-450B in 15yrs....after COVID-19 they will be back to ground zero.

As for kenya - our relentless population control and huge investment in education - is just about to payback - we are I think 5yrs from entering the demographic transition/dividend.

if that is your logic, then nigeria outsmart us in that game. Hence, no black nation can grow by its own.
Do you know we have more Indians in Nigeria than kenya?

Say what you know not what you do the know..indian might be more here but every time ,duck and Harry knows they are at the bottom barrel living in deplorable environ...our Economy and country is black owned and black controlled..

Wrong! the Indians you see in Nigeria are business men or their employees brought to work in Nigeria. The Indians in your country are subjects of the british govt brought to work in your country before independence just like the ones you find in Uganda, South Africa and Tanzania. After your colonial masters left Indians took over your economy and commerce which you are yet to control. Most wealthy kenyans who are natives are linked to politicians.

Shma:
Bravo For that creativity! we have acknowledged it . But that will not dispute the facts on ground, you have more Indians than us, but what are they doing? Unfortunately, they don't add value to your land unlike ours who does, see the whites in S. A, they have developed S. A in an unimaginable state.
The legitimacy of how they are doing business is what should be questioned, and those four Indians out of 20 richest people in Kenya should not fool your mind that Indians are now dominating kenya.
The Indians in Kenya are the same Indians staying in Nigeria in equal legal measures unlike S. A.

chrisooblog:
Lebanese don't dominate our economy the way Indians do in yours.

Richest, business giants in Nigeria are natives of the land. Lebanese are players in our economy just like Indians, Chinese, South Africans, Italians, Germans etc

The development you guys have are largely driven by your Indian born Kenyan citizens. How many non-indian individuals not linked to the Kenyattas run Kenyan economy

Maybe that why their cities looks ugly and third world like every other Indian cities..

chrisooblog:
lol the funniest thing is Buhari (who i don't even rate by the way) has done more than even your University trained Uhuru. Food security which is Kenyans greatest challenge he hasn't solved. importing maize that you can easily grow in your country. a peaceful country yet relying on food aid to feed your poor northern inhabitants.

At least as poor as Buhari is he has eliminated the need to waste scarce forex on rice when barely a few years ago we were Africa's top rice importer. He's now doing the same thing with maize.

honestly you guys can do better in the kind of presidents you choose. not this snake oil sales man who has indebted generated generations of kenyans with nothing to show for it except a loss making railway and port

Lol.uhuru is well educated to siphone their money..

Austine1213:


Its an insult honestly, Nairobi is not in Pretoria levels of development but he speaking of johannesburg

The very same Joburg with a road network bigger than his country's road network

Lol they are empty noise maker..they build a few high-rise a d they think they are developed and can make noise..a lot goes into planning a d developing city and nairobi has lost it a long time ago....it's even possible they never had it since it recorded nairobi grew from a swampy area..

Why dont we compare Nairobi with Enugu or Abeokuta? They are also low density cities.

You are a TZ right

No other city is like Nairobi in the world. You forget, we have girrafe just outside the CBD. Who else is as blessed?

Speak for Dar you TZ boy.

When did you become South African? How many times do you need reminding that you from the zoo? If you want a visa, you go apply an the South African embassy not in nairaland.

Enjoy Dar you TZ boy..stop making noise.

You're wrong. Most of the Indians left with whites en-masse. The white basically nearly all bolted out in 1962.
The Indians stayed for a few years but by 1967 - they had mostly left for Britain and Canada.

At indepedence we had 180,000 indians.
In 1965 - we gave them an option to renounce the British citizenship - 50,000 refused and chose to relocate to Britain.
In 1967 - we began Africanization of the economy - immediately there was an exodus of 23,000 indians.

Part of Africanization - was to ban Indians from engaging in many business and in many areas.

The Kenyan Africanization policy forced Britain to establish the 1968 Commonwealth Immigrants Act - and we forced out I think thousands more Indians to Britain...that were insisting on holding the British passport.

And we were left with about 100,000 indians who choose to be Kenyan citizen- now grown to 150,000 . Those Indians mostly went to manufacturing because there were no restriction in there. Now they are indeed very wealthy and proud citizens. They are our 44th tribe.

Tanzania decided to go communism and basically grabbed (nationalized) all Indian properties.

Uganda basically woke up one day and gave Indians 3 months to get out.

Now Nigeria has what 1M indians and you want to tell us about Indians owning our economy.

They the one who started it, this has nothing to do with Nigerian cities.

We all know which country is known for slums

the bolded is somehow true, but you didn't put it well.
You should say this; the richest man in entire kenya is a politician but the wealth is not generated from politics but business.
So we have 4 kenyan Indians in top 20. The rest are black Kenyans.
All the Indians are business people the same way all Kenyans are.
And my presumption was true, you'll realize the Indians are mostly business people in Kenya the same way they are in Nigeria.

Shma:
lol! So your painful mode directed you to search the worst ever Nairobi video from slumscrapers in Eastland. Lol!
Nairobi in 10yrs will be at jorburg level.
And no one is competing with S. A city, we all acknowledged they are more developed and we're aiming there.

Dude this in not Eastland..this is your main CBD..stop lying...be proud of the mess you created and called developed..

My nigga, cant you read title? You need to rest assured somebody will overtake South Africa sooner than later and it might not even be Kenya.

rvp2018:
Nairobi was recently named 14th world most eco-friendly city in the world. South Africa best city - Cape Town - came at 50.

What do you think we will lack. We just need to replace the slums with parks; and move slum dwellers to high rises buildings - and Nairobi will be as good as any city in the developed world.

Despite the poverty and hard economic times - Nairobi has managed to remain a decent city except for Eastland.

Right now Nairobi Management just ordered folks to repaint in the original approved colors. Our planning approval is strictly adhered to.

I will still pick Capetown over nairobi any day any time..eco friendly or not...the former is a globally, developed and recognised city the latter is a third world shiithole....you know deep down nairobi doesn't hold a candle on Capetown..that would be full blown scale madness.....
You are asking me what you lacK....just watch the best of nairobi a d compare it with let's say menlyn in Pretoria then tell me which looks more modern and world class....

Shma:
keep laughing but it's true. How can you expect a Mexican to capture nice places in an african country? .

Is your cbd not your best..he captured your best not your worst...I am glad you are beginning to see it's not impressive..maybe you don't live in Nairobi after all cos your shock after seeing that video is telling on you.

Anyway kenya is really looking north...we want to trade with Ethiopia,,the talk of town is all about doing business with ethi...Our southern neighbour(Tz) is on crazy mode an throwing tantrums...We coming for biz an also the ethi ladies

Stop attacking Tz, I like Tz too aha

You guys better work with us and stand with us. Better for the both of us. If we succeed on the dam stuff, think of the amount of load we simplified for you too. It is also for your sake.

Haile Selassie once said 'It is us today, you tommorow'

Egypt is also here to prevent your development.

Very,very developed...to me it's more developed than anything in Gauteng.
