How can you compare nairobi with dar salam??

[@billgussy6099]

I am Tanzanian who live in Arusha, for me i prefer Nairobi to Dar. It is close and easy for me to go to Nrb than Dar. Arusha to Dar 700 kms whle Nairobi is only 250 kms away.

As Tanzanian i can agree to some point on what youre saying because i lived in Dar and i visited Nairobi regularly, these two cities and people can not be compared, Nairobi is more modern and advanced technologically and socially way far than Dar, Dar is full of coastal people who are much slower and Swahili Natives, Nairobians can only be compared by people from Northen Tanzania, Arusha and Kilimanjaro.

When comes to language you shouldn't complain. You're In a city of Swahili speaker, why should they speak English? why can't you bother to learn proper Swahili. That's like asking native London residents to speak arabic or Swahili when English is their native language. I appreciate Nairobi speaks English but you can't complain about Dar people not speaking English when you're fully aware Swahili is their language. I don't hear this narrative with Chinese, or Japanese but only when comes to African languages it seems no respect. If you want to live in a city of people who speak English then do that but don't go to non-english speaking cities and ask for privilege of them to speak to you in English. You should appreciate the fact that they are even trying too. Cut the entitlement.

You can try to be funny and all sort of laughing emojis but you need to show respect to our language.

I prefer visiting than living in Mombasa as the weather isn't as favourable. Use of AC sucks 😞. Houses in Nairobi rarely have ACs. I found Kampala to be more integrated - poor and rich live together freely. There are parts of Nairobi one may never visit in their lifetime. If you're poor, there are the rich parts of Nairobi you may never know exist and the opposite is true. Poor and rich people may not meet at all. 😢😞 I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing, but it explains glaring disparities.

Honestly, this analysis tell more about you as a person than Dar and Nairobi as cities. First, you have to understand about the diversity and cultural dyanmics and differences between people of Nairobi and Dar. SWAHILI.. if you want to live or work in a country you have to atleast try to accomodate that country culture. You cant complain about people not speaking english as if is some accomplishment, when you come as a tourist you will get some guidance but if you want to work and live in Tanzania as a Brit, learn some Swahili and be respectful. MUSIC... Tanzania love more their own music "Bongo Fleva".. again dont expect Tanzanians to love your international music more than their own.. I know you try to be honest, but you come a bit less considerate, as if the only way to be developed in your lens is for Africans to be more like Westerners.. Respect African culture and our ways of life.

[@ArchitectRussell]

Firstly, my analysis was predicated on an empirical examination of the tangible differences between Nairobi and Dar Es Salaam, rather than a mere reflection of personal predilections. The diversity and cultural dynamics of both cities were meticulously considered, and highlighting these differences does not inherently diminish respect for either locale. Regarding linguistic integration, while it is undoubtedly crucial to assimilate and respect the local language and culture, it is also a pragmatic observation that English serves as a lingua franca in many global business milieus. This acknowledgment does not seek to undermine the significance of Swahili but rather to elucidate the practical challenges faced by expatriates and tourists. On the subject of musical preferences, my observations were not predicated on an expectation that Tanzanians should favor international music over their indigenous genres. Instead, it was a recognition of the distinct cultural predilections that imbue each city with its unique atmosphere. The objective was to provide a nuanced and balanced perspective, not to insinuate that development is synonymous with adopting Western paradigms. It is essential to respect and honor African culture and ways of life, and this principle underpins my analytical endeavors. The analysis was intended to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the rich cultural tapestries inherent in both cities.

Dar is more comparable with Mombasa being at the sea level & near the equator hence very hot and humid. Kenyan coastal people are also very chilled and move at a snail's pace compared to Nairobi folk or watu wa bara. Nairobi would best be compared to Addis maybe imho. As a "Nairobian", I see the problems Dar has that you have highlighted as opportunities🤑. Nairobi is currently very competitive & expensive for avg kenyan business person.

[@section8ight174]

Compare Nai with Arusha! Same style of Lunacy 😂

[@singlepointoffailure9799]

Arusha nayo it's not situated well to outdo Dar despite elevation. Btw Lagos, Dakar and Abidjan have the same all year round heat and humidity of Dar. Imo I think the heat and humidity works against worker's productivity. Every time I go to Kenyan coast (Mombasa, Kilifi, Malindi), I can't imagine living a long time in that heat. Although we can learn a lot from a city like Singapore which also has terrible heat & humidity. The advantage of kina Dar es Salaam and other coastal cities is logistics. Btw TZ has bigger untapped potential than Kenya. It has more resources, more land, more arable land and higher population. I think the ONLY advantage that Kenya has right now is human capital. But I would argue that human capital outweighs everything else if your competition is far behind.

[@singlepointoffailure9799]

@@almor44444 Not in the near-term. Assuming no major shock to both economies (e.g. Covid) Tz's economy will grow at a slightly higher growth rate than Ke in the next decade according to W.B. and Afdb projections. Still the difference is small enough that Kenya will be ahead maybe until the 2040s. Tz's economy isn't as formalized & their infrastructure spending is lower. But like I said with the right direction, the country has potential to be bigger than Ke. It has way more resources, way more land, way more people. Also it's extremely cheaper to produce anything in Tz than Ke. Cheap agricultural products will price out Kenyan farmers (given EAC is a free market) and cheaper safaris will attract more tourists to Tz. Unfortunately, the current policy makers in Ke aren't acknowledging this so that they can shift the kenyan economy to manufacturing.

Having a public urban park like Uhuru park in the middle of Nairobi CBD screams vibrance, a city full of life , in both Morden and natural aspects.

How do you Compare a City of Nairobi which has Colonial Architecture as the Colonizers were allowed to Stay in Nairobi to continue with their business even after Kenya independence, Compare to Dar- Tanzania 🇹🇿 where all Colonizers togather with their Businesses were Kicked out During independence? How do you compare buildings were built in the 50-60s by British colony to the City of Dar where British did not Built anything as they were just a Trustee and not an Owner? Nairobi was inherited from Colonizers while Dar was built by Natives gradually to what it is now. You should have done research first before comparing Eggs with Beans. Can’t you see Most buildings in Nairobi are from colonial Era and they just got renovated? Have you seen anything in Dar written British or Queens lounge? It seem like you came from the village in Europe anyways.. because you don’t even know how to read cities language .

Your comments reflect a narrow perspective. Nairobi and Dar es Salaam have unique histories that shape their identities. Nairobi’s colonial architecture is a testament to its past, but it has grown into a modern city with diverse influences. Dar es Salaam, developed by its own people, showcases a different kind of resilience and growth. Before making uninformed comparisons, perhaps broaden your understanding of both cities' histories and developments.

The amount of ignorance in your comment is profound, Nairobi's colonial buildings are only a handful like the Archives , show me one skyscraper in Nairobi that was built by the colonialists , meanwhile Dar es salaam is full of Arabic and Indian architecture.

I wonder if the two cities, perhaps the two countries, were to be compared based on the affordability, creativity and hospitality behaviors of the local. Also, Tz is still lost in a sense of embracing capitalism or socialism. What can be achieved by relying on local availabilities. Nairobi has more people that have traveled beyond the Kenyan borders and has more foreigners, so we should expect to have a lot of imports where in Tzn the socialism attitude has forced people to produce a number of things at home. But then what are the local ones producing which can serve as ambassadorial beacons. Of course I am Tzn as you can tell from my articles but at Simamiatv we try to neutral as much as possible.

[@ArchitectRussell]

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Comparing Nairobi and Dar es Salaam based on affordability, creativity, and hospitality is indeed interesting. Both cities have unique strengths shaped by their distinct histories and cultural contexts. Tanzania’s approach to balancing capitalism and socialism creates a different economic dynamic compared to Kenya. Dar es Salaam's emphasis on local production highlights a resilience and resourcefulness, fostering creativity in how locals meet their needs. Meanwhile, Nairobi’s openness to global influences, fueled by more travel and foreign presence, brings in diverse ideas and products. Local production in Tanzania serves as a testament to innovation and self-sufficiency. Products like Tanzanian coffee, crafts, and textiles are excellent examples of what locals produce that carry cultural significance and economic value. Both cities have their own ways of contributing to their national and regional identities, making each unique and valuable in its own right. Your efforts to maintain neutrality are commendable, and such discussions only enrich our understanding of these dynamic cities.
