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.
Let us know what you think in the comment section.

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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
