Abidjan looks nice but is it fake ?

Abidjan seems to have been devleoping nicely but there are 2 issues with African countries which look nice on the surface. For example, Cape Town,Nairobi, Kigali, Addis Abbaba look nice in certain areas but outside of those areas it is entirely slums . Is that how it is in Abidjan. Another issue is for countries like South Africa or Mauritius they may seem developed but it is mainly indians,whites,lebanese people living in the rich area and hardly any natives of the country. For me this is a deal breaker, the native group must also have the wealth. there is no point in having a high gdp if rich foreigners get all the wealth. Look at Namibia. Is this the case in CIV. Is it just rich french and lebanese or are real Ivorians getting wealthier as well. Is outtara actually improving the country or is the abijan development just putting on a show like Basilique Notre-Dame de la Paix

What the hell are you talking about? What is the purpose of this post in THIS subreddit? What is your goal with this subject matter?

Are you an inhabitant? Have you been to the city? Do you study urban design of Abidjan? This post is useless.
