Accra vs Nairobi
In this video, we are taking another swipe at Accra and Nairobi-two cities we have previously covered. This time, however, we are pitting them against each other. Nairobi is one of my favourite places worldwide, and I hope to stay as objective as possible.
By most metrics, Accra is not a match for Nairobi. The Kenyan capital is a leader, not only in East Africa but in Africa as a whole. Despite being smaller, it even beats Lagos on so many metrics. From its people, lifestyle, infrastructure, and its appeal to people from all over the world, Nairobi's hospitality, embodied by its humble residents and stands out.
Accra has shown significant progress over the past two decades. Arguably, West Africa's most sought-after destination is another safe haven. It offers stunning condominiums and real estate opportunities, as well as an ever-expanding infrastructure to meet the needs of the influx of people moving into the city. Unlike Nairobi and Kenya, there are no winters in Accra. It is either hot, rainy, or humid, with a rich rainforest that makes up a greater part of Ghana.

During my stay in Cameroon, I couldn't resist the allure of Yaoundé. This ancient city, adorned with lush hills and verdant landscapes, instantly reminded me of Kigali. The upper district of Bastos, a hub of vibrant nightlife, upscale hotels, and opulent residences, including those of numerous diplomats, stands out as the crown jewel of Yaoundé. French reigns as the official language in Cameroo...

Welcome to Douala vs Lagos Douala is a city on the litoral coast of Cameroon. It is the economic capital, a major seaport, and an airport. However, it has stayed stagnant, lacking in innovation and creativity. The grip of one man over the country has shattered the aspirations of two generations.

Arguably, Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire stand as two of West Africa's finest countries, their only distinction being the arbitrary line drawn by Britain and France. They share not just mutually intelligible languages and similar physical features, but also a deep bond that transcends borders. With a 720-kilometre border, Ghanaians and Ivoiriennes refuse to let the European border divide them. They st...

Both cities hold significant economic power as they are the capitals of Africa's two largest ...

Questions to ask ourselves as Nigerians: Why did Lagos come last? What are we doing w...

Gosh you are self opinionated why would you tell Ghanaians that if you were Ghanaian you would live in Accra rather than London. Did you even questioned any Ghanaian as to why they are living in the UK and not in Accra. You're too presumptuous with your report. Also you got so excited when you entered a mall in Nairobi and found that the power has temporarily gone of there. . You were drunk with happiness. Why??? Was it to quench your jealousy of Kenya??? Please next time do a thorough research before embarking on an African video finding. Am an Irritated Kenyan.
@user-tr4su9qj8b This scribble is best ignored. The reduction in IQ reading the first time was enough on its own.
What Nairobi is much more sofisticated and vastly superior to to Accra. Nairobi is larger than Accra. Please don't present fake self analysis without qualitative research on Kenya and it's cities.
Rwanda is built and continues to be built with blood minerals from Eastern Congo DRC.
Lol, enjoy your objectivity, keep it up, we Africans deserve a boot up the backside. We need to wake up. The development in SA came at a great cost, the Blacks were deliberately sabotaged, mentally, educationally, socially, medically, psychologically, and culturally. The Blacks in South Africa are still in the thaws of Apartheid. Therefore no objective comparison can be drawn between them and other Africans who were emancipated in the 1960s from a far less cruel form of colonisation.
West Africa is on average only 6hrs away from the 3rd biggest industrial capital of the world, mainland Western Europe. West Africa's beach lands are far more naturally attractive than beachlands in other regions of Africa. West Africa is far richer than East Africa in terms of natural resources; Congo DRC is in Central, Southern Africa. West Africa has some of the most internationally educated and exposed people in Africa. But where does West Africa go wrong, where does West Africa get it wrong. West Africa gets it wrong by embracing a decadent culture that stretches back centuries, to the days of slavery. A culture that promotes ultra selfishness, views civility as a sign of weakness and a criminal opportunity to take advantage of the uninitiated. It is also xenophobic to go to other regions of Africa and string them up drugs, turn their daughters to prostitutes, their sons to junkies, rob them, kidnap them, things you would never do to your own. So hatred of other Africans is also a part of this decadent culture. The biggest favour we can do our fellow Africans is stay in our own countries, and marry our own.
That was a lot to decipher. Thanks for stopping by.
I think some of the Nigerians are outentatiosly provoking Kenyans with expensive lifestyle. That is the root cause of that. The character almost ressembles that of Dinka South Sudanese. They want to appear as the originals. We Kenyans are very welcoming though. Good reaction. I loved the Ghanian cloth market, and Labadi Hotel and its beach by the way I stayed there for coulpe of weeks. Nice foods.
You make very good points. Thanks for stopping by.
As a white South African, I'd like to thank you for making this video. My heart bleeds when I see how run down our once world class cities are. My hope is that your video would inspire my fellow citizens to aspire for better than this, to realise that things can be better than this, we don't have to accept it, and most importantly, that you don't need to be white in order to expect excellence. My hope is that my fellow South Africans would demand more from their government, and aspire to make South Africa the world class country it could and should be. We need to kick out the socialists that has been looting our country dry, and get a responsible government that understand how the modern world works.
But most rich peoples in South Africa are from European😂. Just compare only Black Rich in Nigeria vs Black Rich in South Africa
If a black man with a French passport is French, a white man with a South African passport is South African. In my experience, blacks are the most subconsciously racist people ever.
Can I just ask these bloggers for a favor- LEAVE MY COUNTRY NIGERIA FREAKING ALONE.
@afrikanheritage99 It happens to be my country, too.
Great commentary , Love from Kenya
U can't even compare this City to Benin City Nigeria not 2 talk of Abuja 😂
I think Nigerians they are the ones that calls themselves African giants....
They are the self-proclaimed giant of Africa. 😂😂😂😂😂
Nairobi is beautiful than Accra. Good road networks and high rise buildings.
Just want remain that 40 years ago, Luanda use to be one of most developed and beautiful city in Africa, apart of modern buildings, you can see many gorgeous colonial style buildings across several Angola cities and towns, colonial style buildings rarely to see in many others african coutries.
Are you more educated to an extent you don't have jobs in your country
This guy is crazy how can compare Johannesburg to Kigali ask us people stays in Johannesburg my brother
@AmaniIrakoze-v3q The Oxford Dictionary defines comparison as the process of estimating, measuring, or noting the similarities or differences between two entities. You may be using the terms "compete" and "compare" interchangeably. Thanks for stopping by!
@BantuCityDiaries brother you are very far Johannesburg referred to be manhattan of Africa you don't anything for is even far from. Nairobi Mu brother please keep comparison with we stay there and we also know Kigali I,m East African son so I know both of 2 cities
No creativity lol, you really don't know what you are saying about my country.
Now I know why Nigerians are always loud.. it's the generators😂 they have to shout at each other to be heard 😂
😂😂😂😂
OMG felt like i was watching a documentary or something your voice is so calming......both Accra and Nairobi are great cities as for Nigerians in Kenya they are displaying a very bad image for the rest of Nigerians, in Kenya they are involved in all kind of frauds they are con people and getting money from scamming people that's why the police are onto them and they are very arrogant rude and proud at the same time .... we Kenyans love visitors and investors in our country so please Nigerians change your ways or you are going to be chased away by every country you visit to
@Rosalynkaray I was in Kenya, and I can attest that Kenyans are incredibly humble and kind. I hope someday in my life to live in Nairobi for at least a couple of years. Everything you wrote there about Nigerians is true. I will not defend the indefensible. Thanks for stopping by. I hope to see you again.
We as kenyans also we love our neighbouring countries like uganda and tanzania only, ama niaje wasee?
Nairobi is far better than Accra you can't compare Accra with nairobi
Laughing at the Arabs and Indians being portrayed here as expats in Kenya.
Accra mall isn't the only mall... we have the biggest mall in west africa. which is the west hill mall
The West Hill Mall is just 27,000 m2, still very small compared to Nairobi's.
Good work kudos bro.
Appreciated
U are comparing Nairobi vs Accra, why involving Nigeria into this comparison. Have u been to Nigeria? & do u know asides Abuja & Lagos, all Nigerian state capitals are very beautiful & developed! My dear, not everywhere in Nigeria that has blackout. U can’t compare Nigeria with so many African countries. Forget what u see online, come & see with ur eyes & stop saying shitty things about Nigeria when u know nothing about Nigeria….
😂😂😂😂 Thanks for making me laugh, though.
Can you pls show us Ghandi square and bank city in Johannesburg
Nairobi's is dirty asf, we all now that as kenyans
But it can also mean it is better than the other
Ghana is a village compared to Kenya, they are number 10 in Africa
You are igbo. Now i am not surprised. Most Igbo TH-camrs always talk down Nigeria. We already know this
@ochiegodfrey6428 Now that you have voiced your dislike for the Igbo, that's that. Could you now discredit the veracity of my claims? I'm more interested in evidence to the contrary than rubbing your ego over my ethnicity.
Nairobi City is well developed buh I think you visited few places to make your conclusions. I'm a resident in Nairobi
Kenya is centralised in Nairobi and Mombasa but Ghana is decentralised
Kenya is decentralized, in other words it is devolved. Kenya is not Nairobi or Mombasa, has other cities that can rival Accra.
Im Ghanaian.. Ghana is more centralise , everything is all about Accra Gosh 😢 Kenya is more developed
Right now Accra is MORE peaceful than Nairobi. I am looking at Kenyan news media and Nairobi is being rocked with protests and riot. There are fires, blocked roads, transportation crippled and businesses closed. Protesters throwing rocks at police and police shooting back at them. Nairobi and most Kenyan cities are shit now. Who in their right mind would travel to Nairobi now? Accra is peaceful
Excuse sir/madam. What you are talking about with zero information, is we Kenyans fighting for our rights! Before you post such things kindly seek to find out what the protests in Kenya have achieved politically in just two months. The anti govt protests have achieved far more than what the opposition govt has achieved in years .And what makes you think Nairobi is "shit" right now ? Again before you open your mouth anyhow , I advice you to seek correct information !
Thanks bro.That’s a good show
Thanks for watching.
Accra doesn't come anywhere close to Nairobi. I won't even bother watching this.
Nice video.
Lol look at dis dirty city u comparing with abuja 😅
South Africa is best, and Johannesburg is the economic hub of Africa, comparing Johannesburg to Kigali is madness, South Africans black and white built Johannesburg and all other cities, it is illegal foreigners and liers like you who are trashing our cities
Have you been to Ibadan before?
Yes!
I love Ghanaians, humble, sincere and friendly. We have two family friends and neighbors that are Ghanaians🥰
lol but you are a Ghanaian
@@amandaeguale1641 am Kenyan
A Nigerian never says anything good about Ghana most of the time. I'm not surprised 😂
Could you do same video comparing Accra to Mombasa?
You will still complain😂
He's comparing capital cities
Development is not about high rise building. Check the Africa Infrastructure Development index
Outdated index
This guy spoke the truth about Ghana 🇬🇭 and he is even a Nigerian 🇳🇬. God bless Ghana 🇬🇭 , Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Kenya 🇰🇪
Its true...place is mismanaged..made worse by foreigners...
Leave us like that, there are more beautiful area in Abuja that you're not showing us
Sandton is run by The same Municipality that runs the Jhb CBD not by so called 'whites'. The view that certain places font look African, kanti what do African things look like?
Them sorry whites and their money. Everywhere you turn they just want to create infrastructure. Whats wrong with them.
What a wonderfully created programme. I never thought Nigeria was that mismanaged. Then again, with so much wealth of minerals and oil why are Nigerians so many outside their country.
