[@MikeJones-ck4yt]

"City of Chaos" yes I agree, mainly because of the disorganized and lack of traffic management. Nairobi needs a well organized transportation system like those found in Kinshasa, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Tanzania. A well organized bus system will replace the matatus and boda boda...hence less hectic and chaotic mess. Thanks for sharing, great documentary👍

[@kawirak8397]

This cant happen coz the cartels that own the politicians own the matatu business, and bodas were allowed to multiply and take over. Messed up country

[@BensonNyasae]

I agree with you. However, it's 2024. We need to consider other modes of mass transportation like underground trains (metro or subway). I wonder how a city like Nairobi lacks a metro system over 60 years since independence.

We are a country that had the largest economy than South Korea in 1978 and even gave them a Loan back in the 70S AFTER TO RECOVER FROM THE WAR(GOOGLE IT) Why not compare Kenya and it's cities to that then ?

[@alexbanj7a7bc]

Yeah, bring Lagos/Nigeria into it just to make yourself feel better with the disaster that is Nairobi. Shirking your responsibilities and obfuscating is what you the rest of Africa are very good at doing. Whenever your short-comings are exposed, you all bring Nigeria/Nigerians into it even when it's got nothing to do with Nigeria/Nigerians just to deflect and take attention away from your problems. That's what you all do as fellow Africans, and that's why in the case of Kenya as seen in this video, you have that quotidian chaos that is the defining characteristic of that overrated/over-documented capital city called Nairobi. Lagos/Nigeria is doing fine. I would like to let you know. Lagos/Nigeria recognizes its problems and it's doing a lot to find solutions to those problems.

This madness started in 1990, 34 years later and this is the aftermath of poor urban development planning. Nairobi’s population in 1990 was 1.3 million compared to the current population of 5.4 million, it’s time for other counties to to be developed so that other services can be decentralized. The same system that works in the west. Though we have a long way to go.

Try and watch old footage of Nairobis central district. From the 60' and 70'. Things were way mere organized at that time. I hink you can guess why Yes, that was when there were still wazungu organizing things. Sadly, Kenyans have been unable to follow in their footsteps.

Nairobi is suffering from the common knee jerk reactions that are common within African leadership. Nairobi became extremely dirty and dark at night during Moi's days. Kibaki came along and things changed for the better. Then Uhuru, particularly with Gen Badi at the helm and things improved. With Sakaja Nairobi is now decaying at an unbearable speed. There are just never long term plans complete with culture change to anything. We are heading back to the rotten Nairobi of Moi days.
