Nairobi’s ranking in a global survey of living conditions has dropped to the lowest position due to its slower pace of development compared to other cities.
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) survey, which was released on Thurday, ranks Kenya’s capital at position 125 in the list of 140 cities that are pleasant to live in from 120 last year.
The report shows that Kenya’s capital has remained in the bottom 20 of global cities with the best living conditions for six years in a row.
Nairobi dwellers continue to be saddled with challenges daily, including crime, poor roads, traffic jams, poor garbage disposal and unstable electricity supply – consigning the city to the tail end of the ranking.
Here is what that lazy article doesnt tell you:
[ul]
[li]liveability has deteriorated in 29 of the 140 cities (20 per cent) surveyed over the last 12 months.[/li]
[li]The cities that you are being compared with are NOT capital cities in all cases.[/li][li]You have multiple listings of a country e.g the rankings include Miami, DC, Chicago etc[/li][li]Even our neighbours, Uganda, Tz, DRC, Ethiopia etc were not featured in the survey[/li][/ul]
Picture this mentality ya mkenya after kupata job first priority inakuwa buying a car either cash or on loan lakini gari lazima. Hio ndo itamalisa wakenya.
125 out of over 50000 cities in the world?
wow! we are really behind!
I suggest we commit all our time, energy and resources to ensure our homes are up to the living standards of foreigners!
let us also ensure that our wives’ legs are always open and their vaginas ready to accommodate foreign dicks!
our government must make it a priority that our children are gainfully employed in the service of foreign interests!
all our monies natural, resources etc should be leveraged at a profit for other countries!
let us never for a moment stop pandering to them, neglect any idea of nationhood and relegate everything else to a secondary priority before the glorious need to abase ourselves before a foreign throne!!
this started as a joke but I’ve realised that it is actually happening
