Great vid, thank you for your honesty. West African culture is incredible though, from fashion, cuisine, art, music, dance, spirituality, learning and so on, everything is profoundly rich and steeped in centuries of creativity and exploration! If we created a purely African model of development based on our cultures, African would be even more amazing. Love from Kenya
Wow! What a presentation. Proffessionally executed. Had to be a Nigerian. Thanks for giving us a general view into what goes on in Africa, for those of us who dont travel. Indeed, Africa is such a bleseed continent.
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.
Bantu you need to visit Watamu and Diani beaches in coastal Kenya. I am a teacher in Bangkok. I subscribed to your channel yesterday and today, used your first video I watched (Nairobi vs. Capetown) to teach my students (girls aged 15-19) about Africa. I appreciate that your videos are very organized, and your narration pace is very ideal for learners of English as a second language. I thank you.
Nigerians will be humbled by these comparisons of African capital cities because they always think they have arrived when, in fact, they have not even started. Tribalism, indiscipline, corruption and bad leadership have taken a heavy dent on the potentials of a country which boasts the most creative, competitive, hospitable and hardworking people in the continent. I hope that rather than Nigerians showing a feeling of anger at these honest comparisons, they will take the lessons in good faith and work more purposefully to overcome the vices, negativity and shortcomings that have disadvantaged them among global citizens. Thank you, Bantu, for remaining bold, frank, objective, unfazed and impartial in your analysis of the characteristics of African cities and the lifestyles of our citizens. Nigerian youths must work dispassionately and without ethno-religious bias to rebuild, salvage and transform our beloved country by ensuring we get the right persons and characters into our national leadership positions, starting with the president and governors.

Make no mistake about this. Accra is fast on the move and in 10 years time could become that African country to be super proud of. Accra has a lovely spirit for all. I’m from Kumasi and we have Nigerians renting out house for years. We treat them as family and likewise. I’ve never seen so many different African people in any one place other than when I travelled on holiday to Ghana from the UK.

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!
I've lived in Accra for decades, and only went to Nairobi for vacation. I can confirm that Nairobi is way better, cleaner and more organised than Accra. 💯

@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
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
Mombasa is a shame my friend.Accra is rightly compared to Nairobi.Compare Mombsa to Kumasi, and Mombasa still loose.Mbona tunapenda kusifiwa na kama watu hatuna akili?

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.
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
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
1. Infrastructure: Nairobi is ahead 60:40 2. Digital market: 50:50 3. Cost of living: Accra lower than Nairobi 4. Quality of life. Accra tops Nairabi. 5. Death rate: Accra is lower 6. Calmness and peace: Accra tops 7. Quality Education: Accra tops 8. Interchanges: Accra tops 9. Africanism and cultural pride: Accra tops.

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.
You spoil everything my friend. Learn to receive a compliment with humility and be open to criticim. Otherwise you are a spoiler. You should thank God that they have not shown Kibera and Mathare in the video clip.
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.

@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
Not Masai Kikuyu and kamba only
Development is not about high rise building. Check the Africa Infrastructure Development index
Outdated index
😅😅😅😅 U must be Nigerian
You are just consoling yourself 😂
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
He is a confused man.
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
You should have compared accra with Mombasa not Nairobi
Mombasa is a shame my friend.Accra is rightly compared to Nairobi.Compare Mombsa to Kumasi, and Mombasa still loose.Mbona tunapenda kusifiwa na kama watu hatuna akili?
Nyinyi ndio mnafanya tunaambiwa tuko na IQ ya 70
@@VibrantWriters That Kumasi shouldnt even have that name City
Nairobi is beautiful than Accra. Good road networks and high rise buildings.
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.
A Nigerian never says anything good about Ghana most of the time. I'm not surprised 😂
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.
I agree with u my brother....our country is lacking modern infrastructures.
Nairobi City is well developed buh I think you visited few places to make your conclusions. I'm a resident in Nairobi
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
Nairobi is far better than Accra you can't compare Accra with nairobi
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
This is the biggest insult you can give to Nairobi . ❤to Ghana
Why do u think so, explain
seriously Nairobi vs Nigeria?? Compare Nairobi vs Abuja?? I like Nairobi, and 'am proud that at least they have some development by western standards, because that's what you all want but does everywhere in Kenya look like Nairobi?
Just google or youtube search Kisumu..then Nakuru...3rd and 4th kenyan cities..then compare them with your nigerian cities
Does everywhere in Nigeria look like Abuja?
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.
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
Please look at your title. Why are you dragging Nigerian into this topic?
@alexanderchidebelu3477
Look at your name, "Alexander." Why are you bearing a Greek name when you are Nigerian?
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.
How can you compare Accra city with zoo
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.
So ua comparing Nairobi to accra and lagos at the same time😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂Huge cucumber show offs in Ghana, that's really unethical of them
1. Infrastructure: Nairobi is ahead 60:40
2. Digital market: 50:50
3. Cost of living: Accra lower than Nairobi
4. Quality of life. Accra tops Nairabi.
5. Death rate: Accra is lower
6. Calmness and peace: Accra tops
7. Quality Education: Accra tops
8. Interchanges: Accra tops
9. Africanism and cultural pride: Accra tops. In Accra no protocol Europeans or any race, Ghanaians first or all treated equally.
10: Security: Accra tops
11. Variety of quality spicy food: Accra tops.
I love Nairobi, i love the people. I will visit again.
Kind do not compare Nairobi to Accra , compare Accra to kisumu or Mombasa
Accra doesn't come anywhere close to Nairobi. I won't even bother watching this.
You have derailed from the caption you gave us here. Infact, you mentioned Nigeria and Nigerians in bad light more than the subjects of yiur vlog 😡
Zoo man go and remove your generators……..unprecedented failures.
@@aboaboyahciciniko7132 lol your dp and I depicts the contrast of what you just said here. Zoo isn't meant for you as a monkey .. go back to the wild jungle where you and your country belong to
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
@@eddyrandu312780% of kenya is rural
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.
Accra is a typical v... 🤫😂
You spoil everything my friend. Learn to receive a compliment with humility and be open to criticim. Otherwise you are a spoiler. You should thank God that they have not shown Kibera and Mathare in the video clip.
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
Ghana is a village compared to Kenya, they are number 10 in Africa
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
My boy you know better heart gotta keep them recent RCA.
Nairobi's is dirty asf, we all now that as kenyans
But it can also mean it is better than the other
Laughing at the Arabs and Indians being portrayed here as expats in Kenya.
Boss , how is a country with smaller land size, yet populous any achievement ??
If Nigerians are richer than Nairobians then what are they doing here??. Are they doing corrupt businesses here??do that research and give an answer.
I don't think Nigerians are rich, or richer than Kenyans.
nairobi is not home to maasai akamba and kikuyu. Get your facts right
Nairobi-Kenya is more developed than nigeria as a whole country
nigeria is zoo generators is their priorities
Agreed 💯 %
You know why. Lol
