View Full Version : Why is Nairobi ranked so LOWLY?Elevate it Dhuks March 28th, 2012, 09:18 AM I came across this poll and was frankly surprised what all those African cities have to offer that Nairobi doesn't have . Isn't it time to act patriotic and ELEVATE Nairobi to the position it DESERVES? Vote Nairobi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.n7w.com/cities/en xJamaax March 28th, 2012, 09:35 AM ^^I also wonder.;) Less people voting for it. Mintali March 28th, 2012, 05:09 PM Nairobi has a very short history. I think the wonder city thing favourable old cities. Maybe if Mombasa was as developed as Nairobi then we would be somewhere. Fwesa March 28th, 2012, 06:04 PM City ranking of this type is more emotional than objective. Unless one uses objective measures such as population, GDP, infrastructure (e.g. Kms of tarmacked roads, etc), then....as they say beauty (and all other subjective parameters) lies in the eyes of the beholder! èđđeůx March 28th, 2012, 06:38 PM My list that I submitted for Africa's Top 7 (which I admit I based heavily on history pre and post colonization & attractiveness) 1) Lagos 2) Kampala 3) Addis Ababa 4) Antananarivo 5) Cairo 6) Nairobi 7) Accra Dhuks March 29th, 2012, 08:36 AM My list that I submitted for Africa's Top 7 (which I admit I based heavily on history pre and post colonization & attractiveness) 1) Lagos 2) Kampala 3) Addis Ababa 4) Antananarivo 5) Cairo 6) Nairobi 7) Accra Kampala has a richer history than Nairobi? Kenguy March 29th, 2012, 10:07 AM Kampala has a richer history than Nairobi? Yes it does. From a cultural perspective. Mintali March 29th, 2012, 01:38 PM Kampala has a richer history than Nairobi? You must be joking to think Nairobi has a richer history than Kampala, the best Nairobi was before 1900 other than a Maasai grazing ground was a small barter trade post. By then, Kampala hosted the headquarters of the famous Buganda kingdom.

Never knew it had anything to do with Kampala;now i know. u.g boy March 29th, 2012, 09:28 PM Never knew it had anything to do with Kampala;now i know. :ohno: people lack knowledge of Ugandan history before there was a Uganda there was the buganda kingdom and kampala was the capital . The largest tribe in uganda ugdan has around 20 cultural heritage sites in Kampala , Kampala dates back to as early as the 1700s the city is full of culture . Nairobi was just an industrial hub from the British empire .this is why Kampala is so unplanned in shape . |
