What is the use of those glitzy concrete building if the horizontal infrastructure is so bad. From heavy traffic, lack of water, poor sewage and garbage management, unpaved roads in most estates, lack of pedestrian walks in virtually all estates. Poor zoning, etc. I am sure Lagos faces such issues and that is why I really don't care about such comparisons since Africans have been conditioned to accept mediocrity.
I would rather the Kenyan government guarantees every Nairobian reliable water supply, than boasting on YouTube that we have the tallest building in Africa.
