AARRGHH,NIGGA!? We long ago established that like everything in Naij Abuja is fake; a Potemkin village!

The Incident Of Low Occupancy Rate For Residential Properties In Nigeria. A Case Study Of Abuja-Nigeria Federal Capital Territory

[url][https://ideas.repec.org/p/afr/wpaper/afres2016_110.htmlurl]

The most meaningful takeaway.

It was discovered that the majority of the residential properties developed, were not with financial assistance from financial institutions. They were purely private equities of politicians and businessmen who only want to consolidate their assets in physical structures but not for profit


Iow, money laundering, plain and simple!

The way they screech about Abuja you'd think it were Dubai, Singapore or Boston at the very least: as always reality in Naij is truly and truly ishytty!

Abuja suburb where open defecation is culture

[url][m.guardian.ng/news/abuja-suburb-where-open-defecation-is-culture/url]

Mrs. Edwin, popularly called Mama Favour said open defecation has become a normal sight in Tungan Wakili because most of the houses do not have toilets


Thats the CBD,UUURRGHHH!?

The practice is more prevalent in north-central states, including Abuja, the capital.

Five notorious spots where people defecate openly in Abuja


[url][https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/283933-five-notorious-spots-where-people-defecate-openly-in-abuja.htmlurl]

Gwarimpa express is a stop away from Kubwa express when coming from Wuse. “Driver, stop me at Gwarimpa express”, a passenger who wants to alight at this bus stop would say. Before this stop is a long pedestrian bridge that connects other parts of the popular Gwarimpa estate and that is why the stop is known as Gwarimpa express.
There is a big gutter on the right side of the road and many have turned it into a safe spot for convenience. You can see piles of faeces while passing or waiting for a commercial vehicle at the bus stop

I. CAN'T. ANYMORE

But while we struggle with temporary flood induced water supply issues in Nairobi there's no water in Abuja anyway . Somehow the planners ignored or someone neglected this.

There is no water in Abuja,” Chinyere, a resident, laments. “There is no light (electricity) but more importantly there is no water and this makes life hard

Ruth Samuel and her four children live here in an uphill settlement on the outskirts of Abuja.

But every day, they struggle for water, sometimes spending many hours scooping water from a ground spring

How Zokutu, Abuja residents get water.

The only source of water in the community is a cave, located about half a mile from the residential area. The water in the cave, which is 6 feet below ground level, is used for bathing, laundry, cooking, and drinking — without any form of purification. The level of development in Zokutu is next to nothing, as is reflected in the poor road networks, mud houses, and limited telecommunication access.

I like to bring receipts. In THE name of God never mention this effed up place ever again.

Nairobi metro has nearly the same size as newyork metro.

A 3 cedis data will fetch you 400 megabytes including bonus which double into 700 plus. and the interesting part , it never expire even if you decide to live it till the next 1 year unused .... remember 3 cedis is less than 150 naira not up to 40 cent

it's is quite an incredible plan, but that particular bundle is a kind of promotional bundle, compared to Vodafone and tigo that 3cedis is quite expensive.

Yes it huge. But it appears we dropped the ball - hopefully after fixing Nairobi - proper NMS - will fix Nairobi Metro

Shma2020:

Now that you have posted other metros lemme just say Nairobi metropolitan region covers approximately 32,000 km2

And?

I'm more interested in urban space area

rvp2018:

Im more concerned about urban area , not the actual size of metro

expect more robust data plan from tigo as government plan to absorbed the network soon . MTN remain the most expensive network because it has spend more on infrastructure compare to others . Vodafone is not doing bad anyway .

Show me a democratic communist state - even though most often than not, they add the word DEMOCRATIC to their countries. You cannot have economic system without political system. This is political economics.

in this day and age, as grown up as you are

You dont know the difference between political and government.

This is crazy


Everything in this world is political

The church you attend, religion you belong to, the sexual orientation you choose, even the cloth you are wearing right now is political.

leQubit:


wrong bro..

everything is political in life
Learn the difference between political and government

rvp2018:
Precisely - the consensus now is to move toward socialism (with Guaranteed Minimum Income) - otherwise unequal capitalist societies like US, Brazil and South Africa - just breed chaos, crime, and a huge mess - just like North Korea bread poverty, laziness and envy.

South Africa is a democratic socialist country.... Not a pure capitalist country....in fact South Africas problems are due to socialist parts of the economy not due to capitalism.

Also if you look at GINI coefficients you'll see capitalist countries are in fact more equal than socialisst countries

Yes Kikuyu boon Boers were POOR between 1875-1940s it took SOCIAL ENGINEERING to lift them out of POVERTY.

Even today in the USA people were shocked to READ about Afrikaners NON WHITE ANCESTRY and POVERTY. Hence they started a THREAD called Afrikaners need NEW RACIAL CLASSIFICATION.

No country is pure capitalist today, even the IS is not.
Neither is any country practising socialism except Venezuela,purely.

Do you know what you're saying bruh? And where is Kigali rural portion coming in from that debate?

What's your point exactly?

rvp2018:
It only fails if public sector - gov become corrupt - and doesn't consult. I can give you example of Swiss. They hold referendum on nearly everything. Those countries are very democratic and have zero corruption. Public sector also work very well - public schools, hospitals, universities - so NOBODY CARES IF GOV taxes 50% of their wealth - because they do a good job in return. Nobody goes to private school or hospital or name it - if they even exist - because the PUBLIC SECTOR works.

It very difficult to pull democratic state in non homegenous countries - coz of racism, tribalism - etc.

Therefore social states are the most democratic.

INTERESTING fact! Guess the last country to give women 100% universal suffrage?

Switzerland will mark 50 years since women won the vote on Sunday — dismally late for a country that prides itself on having one of the oldest democracies in the world.

[url][https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.euronews.com/amp/2021/02/06/switzerland-marks-only-50-years-of-women-voting-and-ponders-gender-gap-todayurl]

In fact some cantons resisted Globo Homo demands til the 90s!

And even when Switzerland finally allowed women to vote at a national level, its federal system enabled the conservative canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden to continue barring women from participating in regional votes until 1991.

Smth to think ABOUT! Deafening bleating from the MSM, associated think tanks and their water carriers proclaims until and unless EVERY girlchild is politically involved nation stagnates: REALLY!?

777km² of newyork size cannot be compared with 2000km² of jorburg, do you know that?

Same goes to 1600km² Dar nearly thrice the size of Nairobi urban area.

Yes, the whites don't want to admit their poverty, they are languishing in rural america, which parts looking 3rd world. It's all racial pride. They think blacks and hispanic want to smooch the system.

My sis had a biz school mate from the Virginia Appalachians. These mountains ACTUALLY rise in Canada down to the NE states Maine, Pennsylvania,Maryland, New Jersey through to Kentucky,Tennessee, the Carolinas all the way down to Alabama.
ANYWAY, for like half a century THEY'VE been a source of multigenerational poverty.
Dude once told us he had to hunt for the family dinner or starve- its still common!.
Some stats say the poverty is worse than ANYTHING in Black America.

I will disagree with the bolded...inequality in your country is as a result of extreme capitalism which in a way is controlled by minority white..

jln115:
but we can all agree capitalism is 100x better than communism...

Socialism better than the both.

An that's the tragedy in United States..some of these folks feel like they have been left behind , socially an economically..They don't understand how millennials in silicon valley are earning hundreds of thousands while the hard working citizens ( them ) are starving.

Lets stick to facts or references

New York 777km² is pure urban
Kigali 650km² is 90% rural

How much of Nairobi city is build up, how much of it is urban?
