The truth hurts but are very stubborn things 1) Google opened it's first Sub-Saharan office (outside South Africa) in Nairobi in 2006/2007 - Our current Minister of ICT was hired as it's head. http://whiteafrican.com/2007/06/05/google-hires-first-african-employee/ 2) Kenya began planning for Konza Techno city in 2006 - as we saw investment in ICT sector ramp up. https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/konza-konza-technology-city-u-c.351166/ 2021 - 2006 is 15yrs. Ghana is excited about Twitter and Google AI office 15yrs later. Stuff like Ushahidi - developed by my friends - were top hit in 2008 ![]() As for now - Nairobi (Kenya), Lagos and Joburg are competing for FDI to sector - with Nairobi leading mostly - Lagos second and Joburg third.

rvp2018:That place looks underdeveloped than what I thought at first, over 90% of the roads networks, drainage, and other infrastructures are not built, The Konza city will takes over 100 years to get completed . Eko Atlantic started almost the same time Konza was designed and eko Atlantic has completed all major roads, 13 new bridges, underground drainage, 2 millions trees , Jetty terminals, street lighting, and even many ongoing structures https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvuuVxmsbW0 1 Like |

Eko City is private sector while Konza city is public sector driven. Eko city is mixed used - Konza city is open only to tech and research companies. konza city is 5000 - the 1st Phase (1A) -60 acres is well underway with horizontal infrastructure nearing completion. Both cities are still largely unoccupied - Konza has completed the secretariat office block and the data center. 68816419: 1 Like 2 Shares |

Abuja - good roads - around the CBD - but generally low rise building - very sparse. The city still not there. It almost empty civil servant city. Look at Nairobi CBD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYMEU3erBZ4 Are all west African based in south africa or MTN is sending internet traffic back to their home country. Kuruptnigga: 1 Like |

Shma2020: You can definitely learn landscaping and streetscaping from SA. At ground level your city is disappointing, over paved and not as green as it looks from above. Yes, you've managed to keep some semblance of zoning but to a learned eye there are glaring flaws with your zoning and how you implement it. In short there is no 'placemaking'. 4 Likes |

Randlord:I'm glad you narrowed your argument down to landscaping and streetscaping ![]() Yes, Nairobi has some tasks to do on streetscaping. big up to NMS for bridging the aforementioned gap. On landscaping, I'm lost ![]() The emboldened rings ignorance ignorance ignorance....... We all know SA cities are breathtaking and developed as far as African cities are concerned but any slight call out should not make you throw hatred out of effusive comments towards others, Nairobi is growing at neck breaking speed ![]() |

Over-paved? Less green. Kenya cities are actually under-paved and don't have a problem with greenery. If Joburg is thought to be green - Nairobi is congo forest. I can barely see vegetation in Cape Town or Durban. As for zoning - yes there are obviously flaw linked to poverty - most especially in say Eastland of Nairobi. Randlord: 1 Like |

Don't act like a Ghanian. Alliance HAS NEVER been an international school. Alliance is what we call national school in kenya. These are public schools that it student nationally. Normally they it the top 1 or 2 student in every district after KE (primary exams). It part of national quota - so you'll find a Maasai kid like him or Somali kid - as long as they lead in their district. Some national schools in Kenya - Alliance Boys, Alliance Girls, Starehe Boys, Kenya High, etc etc. Then we have provincial schools - they it kids within their province or now county. Then we have district schools - it within district Alliance - is normally among top school in Kenya - in KCSE. If you want to find out Kenya education prowess start from Alliance. See Kenya kids wake up at 3 am. 5 am all student are up. Teachers are up teaching by 5 AM!!!!!!!! - all these kids came top in their districts. They kill those SATS like nonsense and go to best universities if they want. Normally mean score is A or A- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS-aETtbK6c International School - those don't follow kenya system - mostly British or American or International curriculum - Brookhouse, ISK,Banda, St Andrew Turn, Rift Valley Academy, Braeburn, Crawford, Aga Khan The day schools.

Shma2020: I mean the beautification of the surroundings once you put up a building (not necessarily the municipal parks), there is not enough thought or money put into how your new glittering skyscrapers interact with the surroundings IMO. The Two Rivers complex has set the benchmark from what I've seen though . BTW the phrase is 'break-neck speed' ![]() 2 Likes |
