The only way to power all of Zambia would be if we started manufacturing the generation equipment. Some of the tech is 100yrs old.

Kigali is well marketed but Nairobi is just another level
Nairobiโs super power is that it allows everyone to participate in the economy. Anyone can hustle, at whatever time. This allows the money to keep circulating, n the economy to continue booming. This is why Nairobi will always be heads and shoulders above its peers in EA. Kigali

So true, your economy is booming
Itโs always refreshing to get a different perspective. Cynical doomers can make u think that the city is collapsing everywhere

Living with blindness or vision loss shouldnโt limit mobility. These riders say Waymo can help improve their independence.

6. The economy is buzzing The issue in Kenya appears to be one of income inequality, not income. At 2am in the CBD, shops were open, people trading, buses moving. By day, construction everywhere. This has the appearances of a booming economy #ken

Another case of "Private Wealth, Public Poverty".

Many including Addis, Lagos and Johannesburg claim to be Africaโs capital but Nairobi has a good claim. Why do the BBC rush straight to Kibera and this building ๐๐พ

You are speaking to the income inequality. Iโve been through 17 African countries and what I saw in Nairobi is highly highly impressive. As a person on the ground, you understand the dynamics better but I can tell you that itโs a much better starting point for change
@Mafipe It's a transformation for the worse, stay around longer and interact with the cab driver or cleaning lady and you will learn more.

There needs to be a monument to celebrate the 2025 IAAF triumph, itโs absolutely historic. All the Gold Medals ๐ฅ from the 800m to the Marathon went to Kenyan women, incredible!!!
