- 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.

I love Ghanaians, humble, sincere and friendly. We have two family friends and neighbors that are Ghanaians🥰
In Kenya we don't have much problem with power
@@Deggoo and you guys are heavily dependent on renewable energy. What's your electricity access percentage? Aside your big cities are your villages nationwide connected to the grid? Do you export electricity?
@@MarkNtirialmost every village in Kenya is connected to the mains electricity national grid.
@@MarkNtiriKenya’s electrification rate currently stands at 84% with over 90% of the total electricity in the grid coming from renewable sources!
@@MarkNtiriyou talking about renewable energy like it's a bad thing.😂 We have constant and reliable power unlike the dumso in Ghana
Nairobi is richer and more developed than Accra, you can't compare the 2 cities
Congratulations Kenya,God bless Ghana
This guy spoke the truth about Ghana 🇬🇭 and he is even a Nigerian 🇳🇬. God bless Ghana 🇬🇭 , Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Kenya 🇰🇪
I've never heard the rumor of Nigerians being wealthy 😂 in Nairobi..The only nationality perceived wealthy are South Sudanese.
The way they show off makes everyone think they are super rich
@@baddiebooo .."wealthy" is different from show off..Like I said,,South Sudanese r mostly perceived as wealthy..
Love your videos 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Thank you.
I am Kenyan, i didn't know people pee on streets in Ghana.
They poop in the bushes and gutters too
Nigerians wouldn't be overcharged in Kenyan establishments if they weren't displaying their "wealth"
Very true. Nigerians have a habit of showing off. For Kenyans, it is so hard to recognize a rich person in public unless they tell you about it😂
Thank you for that insight ❤
As a Kenyan, I would say Nigerians are great people but few among them are destroying the image their great country. Like for example, Dubai no longer issue visas to Nigerians, Qatar limits Nigerians from their country. But why? Kenya is having problems with Nigerians living in Nairobi. If Nigerian government won't curb this guys damaging the good image of their country, it will be very hard to host Nigerians in other countries. Mark my words.
No comment.
Remember it's the only country that do not participate in diversity visa in Africa
How many years ago has Nairobi developed a long-term time ago.Ghana is just starting, and we will get there
Are you sure about this?.. Ghana got it's independence 6 years before Kenya!
Most of these developments started happening just 20yrs ago. Ghana is still asleep
Bruh your country got independence in 1957😂Compared to Kenya's 1963?
@@patrickosare2687 and UAE which includes Dubai, got its independence in 1971... that's 14yrs behind Ghana.
young boy read the history when did ghana get independence...ghana is too old compared to kenya
I really like your video you go in the depth of each city and compare them with facts,your channel is a gem 💎
Glad you like them!
If it wasnt for cortupt elites in kenya ...we would be far more better ....
I know long ago that Nairobi beats all capitals in west n central Africa.
Haha, love the blunt honesty.
Accra isn’t a percent closer to Nairobi. every Kenyan should be offended by this comparison.
Funny Kenya is only Nairobi,Ghana is not only Accra
You shouldn't be this ignorant in this day and age. The 4th largest city in Kenya is better than Accra. @@amoafoowusu6657
@amoafoowusu6657 Ever heard of Mombasa? How about Kisumu? Nakuru? Eldoret?
@@amoafoowusu6657 massa Accra is not it. We don't even have public transportation. Common Accra to Tema rail we can't run. Our gutters are not covered, we build roads without sidewalks, Accra houses have no toilets, our beaches IN Accra the capital are dirty etc etc. Senegal has ELECTRIC TRAINS, electric bus public transport, Cote d'Ivoire too, etc etc. We're joking in this country
I've traveled to Accra same to Nairobi but Nairobi is a world class city it's in another level,Accra is heading somewhere but can't catch up to Nairobi any time soon.
Accra is best compared to abuja and lagos. None has the features of a modern city. A modern City center must have well tarred roads, tightly lined up with well serviced modern buildings with no walking space between two buildings, designed to be Accomodation apartment for working class , shopping, offices, hotels, dinning, financial services and more Every building in the city center must be accessible by walking pedestrians. No gate, no fencing. Example see the city center of Durban Nairobi Capetown, downtown Manhattan, New York, Paris, Tunis Joburg, port Elizabeth, Praia in Cape Verde , Must have steady power supply, emergency services, stable pipe borne water supply. Nigeria and Ghana don’t have a city that matches these features.🎉 Nigeria and Ghana don’t have a single modern city center
@dannosh4529
Agree wholeheartedly.
Could you do same video comparing Accra to Mombasa?
You will still complain😂
Really!!! U are busy comparing Nairobi with other cities out there while we Kenyans a busy doing away with fools which call themselves our leaders?
@MwemaEric
I stand with the people of Kenya.
@@BantuCityDiariesthank you igboman🙏
Ericko huyu msee Hana job ya kufanya
You should visit Mombasa city in kenya
I definitely will, without a doubt.
Mombasa is old city and too hot
Old is gold u know@@BantuCityDiaries
Ghana international mall will be the Africa's biggest mall. Fir now, West Hills Mall is the biggest mall in West Africa. Kumasi Mall is the second biggest mall in West Africa
Accept it please 😂
Kenya is centralised in Nairobi and Mombasa but Ghana is decentralised
Development is not about high rise building. Check the Africa Infrastructure Development index
Outdated index
Stop peddling lies that Kenyans hate Nigerians.Just remember the point you've just made on difference in personalities of the two countries.Some Nigerians(not majority) get involved in illicit business that include cybercrime and drug trafficking.Some of the crimes they have been recently accused of is killing of kenyan ladies and threatening to take their lives.Either way no Nigerian has ever been beaten or killed by kenyan locals.We even watch such headlines on news but don't take law into our hands.If anything Kenyans are number one consumer of nigerian afro music and nollyhood movies.We basically consider you people like brothers.
@molotovcocktail4207
Thanks for stopping by. There are numerous documented cases of Nigerians living in Kenya experiencing serious abuse at the hands of law enforcement. I felt compelled to address this issue. It was trending on Nigerian social media. Kenya treated me exceptionally well when I visited as a Nigerian, and I have nothing but admiration for Kenya.
@@BantuCityDiaries No one fought for independence in Kenya for foreign CRIMINALS to sell DRUGS, KILL GIRLS AND SPOIL GIRLS take the criminals with you back to your village
@@BantuCityDiaries because of their unlawful activities.
i wont defend them.nonsense.. even here in US is same story. scamming and forgery
Nairobi City is well developed buh I think you visited few places to make your conclusions. I'm a resident in Nairobi
I think u should have compared mombasa with accra.......use one of south african city and compare it with nairobi
@@decoloniz_afro Kibera
Kibera (Kinubi: Forest or Jungle) is a division and neighbourhood of Nairobi, Kenya, 6.6 kilometres (4.1 mi) from the city centre. Kibera is the largest slum in Nairobi, and the largest urban slum in Africa.
If anyone has ever been to Kenya and interacted for a month plus.. they'll agree we have all walks of people from all over the world, in huge numbers, some take over different neighborhoods completely 😂😂 we don't discriminate.. The Nigeria case was special (there was more to it) and now everything is back to normal.. oh btw Abuja city is nice, I'd love to visit
You are very welcome, just that we have bad government, we are nice too, trust you will be disappointed to see that Nigeria is the best people you will ever meet
19:02 I have to respectfully disagree with you on the Cedi performing better than Kenya shilling! We all know what the mumu Ghanaians did to their currency in 2007! They literally removed a whooping four digits from their currency coz of the free fall caused by run away inflation! That helped to make the Cedi the highest-denominated currency issued in Africa! But not for long, coz as we speak, the Cedi has already lost 90% of its value 😢
The Kenyan shilling hasn’t undergone any devaluations or artificial manipulation of any sort but has since risen from being the worst performing to the best performing currency in Africa within a few months!
@our10picks18
You make an incredibly great point, and it is duly noted. Thank you!
That’s true and purchasing power is poor
And yet we are demonstrating all day here in Nairobi.We won't more from our corrupt leadership.
@molotovcocktail4207
I stand with the Kenyan youths who are fighting for their future.
Because there alot more we can do better.
Meaning you are not as developed as you claim.
@@paintsildesmond8495 Kenya is freaking developed compared to most African countries.Is just that we want to exploit our full potential by tapping even that which is lost through corruption and bad leadership.
You should have compared accra with Mombasa not Nairobi
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
The person who did this obviously is a Ghanaian or Nigerian
He said somewhere in the video that he’s an Igbo, which means Nigeria, watch it again
What's your specialisation? Are you a professor? Geographer? Historian etc?
@MarkNtiri
I'm just an uneducated Igbo man with a camera.
@@BantuCityDiaries you try. Aside your 'biases' especially with the Nigeria bashing.
He's telling the truth tho😂😂😂@@MarkNtiri
@@BantuCityDiariesNigerians are very intelligent and hardworking. Where they fail is in leadership
@@yudahwa-ta-seti6075 no doubt. But in a Nairobi Vs Accra comparison, or any other non Nigeria city/topic comparison, he shouldn't be making too many references to Nigeria. Kind of subtracts from his beautiful work. But it's his page so...
Accra doesn't come anywhere close to Nairobi. I won't even bother watching this.
You will be surprised, im in the real estate industry and the number of domestic Ghanaians who buys property in Ghana are more than the foreigners. Its about 80:20 ratio. Do your research well. Most of these african americans you think purchase properties in Ghana often cant even afford it and those who can are skeptical.
@elegantlady1158
Thanks for your contribution 🙏🏿
@@BantuCityDiaries you are most welcome
@@elegantlady1158 know how many Ghanaians are also washing money through real estate?
Winter? Nairobi and winter?
@mediacare6744
Yes, winter in Nairobi.
Yes, Nairobi and most parts of Kenya experience very cold season between June-August. Right now (July) we are clad in heavy clothing!
It's a peculiar contradiction considering that Kenya strides the equator hence the hot tropical weather but still got winters!
The altitude matters.
ghana has only accra, kenya we have many big cities in fact mombasa on the beach is the tourist hub of kenya then there is nakuru city, kisumu at lake victoria and they are all developed with malls too
Nigeria has even more and bigger cities than Ghana, Kenya combined. Many just love to hate Nigeria.
I like Accra's open-skies, uncluttered CBD. Not too many tall buildings blocking the sun. Accra should seriously improve its infrastructure by building a metro, introducing modern public transportation, covering gutters, building sidewalks, removing trash, building roads etc. The city should be properly modernised
Nairobi is our green city in the sun. Our sky crappers make our Skyline beautiful., especially the CBD and upperhill
Its unfair to compare Kenya with Ghana, Kenya is a regional hub for an entire region in Africa and has been for over 50 years
This is the biggest insult you can give to Nairobi . ❤to Ghana
Why do u think so, explain
I don't really understand why you are calling Nigeria in your video?? You are comparing Accra and Nairo, so why some many Nigeria... Nigeria... Nigeria.???
@gilbertampofo4162
Because we are a Nigerian channel. Contrasting our home country is very relevant.
@BantuCityDiaries Oga you no get point, you should have left Nigeria out of your Accra and Nairobi comparison, that's the least you should have done. At least keep your Nigerian hatred aside for a minute. On overall assessment, Abuja even has better roads than Nairobi
A Nigerian never says anything good about Ghana most of the time. I'm not surprised 😂
There's a bigger mall in Kenya, bigger than Two Rivers. It's called BBS Mall. I hear there's a bigger mall which is in the planning phase which is going to be the biggest in Africa.
Nonsense that mall looks like a hanger. Absolutely no outdoor space. I would recommend any other Kenya mall than BBS Mall.
You are comparing Accra/Abidjan /Dakar to Nairobi so why talk about Nigeria.
@adamumohammed3680
Firstly, I was comparing Accra to Nairobi. Secondly, I can include any city or country as I deem fit.
Nigerians still think Nigeria is better crazy. There is nothing there my guy
Kind do not compare Nairobi to Accra , compare Accra to kisumu or Mombasa
My boy you know better heart gotta keep them recent RCA.
Accra is a typical v... 🤫😂
You said accra Vs Nairobi how are you taking about Nigeria
Lol, he pain me too
@patrickforson449
Because I can compare and contrast.
Him head nor correct na
I agree with u my brother....our country is lacking modern infrastructures.
Surely how do you an advanced city like Nairobi to Accra Ghana, what kind of joke is this. Nairobi is in the same league with joburg
"I'm happy the power went off while I was here" That is so sick.
He didn’t mean to be offensive, he was just saying he’s happy to experience that
Boss , how is a country with smaller land size, yet populous any achievement ??
😂😂😂😂😂😂 you don't know about kenya
be yourself what do you know about Kenya
Tembea hata Uganda utajuwa Kenya Iko mbele unakaa place Moja naunathani unajuwa Kenya
How do you call a city (Nairobi) a home to a few specific tribes? Am sorry but you have a very myopic and primitive perspective in describing a city. Nairobi is home to KENYANS (All tribes included) and other international occupants call this city their home. It's a city not a regional town, built by collective efforts of all tribes that reside in Kenya. I hope you will correct your perspective next time. Sorry if I sounded rude but I just honestly didn't like it.
@NorekG1453
Nairobi is indigenous to the ethnic groups mentioned in the video. When you talk about a place, referring to its inhabitants' indigeneity is often evoked. I'm not sure what to do with your feelings, but the facts are indifferent to them.
No one in their right mind would dispute that anyone could call Nairobi their home as long as they reside there. Let your brain do the thinking, not your feelings.
You are wrong, Nairobi is home of Kenyans not few tribes you mentioned. The area was occupied by maasai be4 colonization. The name Nairobi comes from maasai word. And means place of cool waters. Your research is myopic. Nigerians are not considered wealthy in Kenya. But south sudanese.
He is filthy wrong in most of his research but his ego and arrogance can't allow him to humble and listen to what we kenyans ourselves are telling Him. He thinks he can understand Kenya our country better than we do. I was to subscribe but then....@@fredrickwasonga9091
@@BantuCityDiariesI know the danger of trying to argue with a fool. They pull you too low to their level of reasoning and then beat you with their experience. I disengage.
This guy basically meant the commuties who's traditional homes sorround Nairobi, he is right, stop this cheap argument
In my humble opinion, apart from South African cities, no city in Africa is better than Accra. It either a par or nothing.
😢😂😂😂Am a Kenyan and I have been to Ghana... NAIROBI is the Capital City of Africa....
@davincimaths9492 Apart from the center, there is nothing really. It's very similar to any African city. Few nice areas, and the rest are junk. Embakassi, Rongai etc
@@elegantlady1158 Really.... Karen is Junk??? How about westlands and it's environs... By the way, Accra is just a quarter of Nairobi....
@davincimaths9492 Look, I have been to many african cities, and I'm not disputing the facts that Nairobi has made some strides, Nairobi is just ok, apart from a few areas which are great, most are like anywhere in Africa. Btw Karen is a nice residential area. To me, the standard of living in Accra and Nairobi is basically the same. Accra also has few nice areas, and all are junk likewise Nairobi.
Accra is village Compared with luanda😂
The Easten, Southern, and other regions in africa got their Colonial Masters into plannimg and building building their citizens for them.
Kenya is no expecting of them. GHANA on the other hand dis not get that chance because, when others were relaxed with their masters, Gh was busy pushing them out.
In the western region too, Cote d'ivoire got that chance too. Nigeria got the former capital Lagos planned and built too but Abuja was done by Nigerians.
Before u dispute go and do your search on when your citizens were build.
Ghana build it their own city. Ghana lacks proper planning of the city. It was not planned well
The only plan city in Nigeria is Abuja, British didn't do anything in Lagos
nonsense.check the map of nairobi in 1963 and now..
Nairobi started developing in the 2000s ,you're very ignorant
I see that your content is not exactly with the title of your video but you are indirectly triggering Nigerians because i have watched some of your video and in your video you must add Nigeria to your list and in negative view. and you keep missformationing and also defending your lie. Before you Start defending your lies again let me tell that before i started typing this comment i went verifying in the internet which city in west Africa is more developed but it was ABUJA that shown up so where do you get your list from mister lier?😀

@@BantuCityDiaries In where you said in the beginning of your video that Dakar and Accra is more develop than any city in Nigeria that is why i am debunking your lies not because i am defending Nigeria but with the fact that i have search on the internet which says there is no city in west Africa that is more developed than Abuja. And anytime you are talking about other Africa country never you measure Nigeria in your discussion.
