@kenyastar,my point is that if nigeria is a hellhole,so is kenya.dont come here polishing shit.u spoke about big projects in kenya,have u heard of eko atlantic city?i doubt it u have something as audacious as that in east africa.kenya is a small country and small countries are better and easier to manage than big ones.hence,ireland does better than usa on hdi.kenya and nigeria are ranked among the low hdi countries.kenya with its small populatn and small landmass is ranked 145 out of 187 while nigeria is 152.nigeria exports whats under the ground[oil] kenya exports whats on it[flower and tea]so whats there to celebrate in the two.ur pple are not well catered 4,if they were u wouldnt have a low hdi.enough of ur lies.latvia that u deride exports electronics and computers,is europe,s fastest growing economy and its currency is stronger than the euro and the dollar.
1.Kenya is a medium HDI country.
2.45 million people is not a small population.
3. The most important resource is HUMAN resource.
4. Kenya is an export oriented country, you guys loooove importing hence the weakening Naira.
5. Kenya is not a biblical paradise but it's NOT a hell hole.

Except that obaadaremi didn't tell you that this "audacious eko city" is not the brainchild of indigenous locals but its actually fronted by very rich Lebanese.

Its mostly a residencial city and not strictly a business hub .Residential cities never have much in terms of productivity + innovation .

Its a city of just 250k residents thus its impact on the 21m strong Lagos city will not provide Lagos with really meaningful positive uplift.

It has serious environmental issues due to being built on reclaimed land thus its experiencing ocean surges,flooding of access roads and flooding of Victoria island.Several dozen people have already lost their lives resulting in litigation to halt the project and compensation of bereaved families.

BOLD ASS LIES that Nigeria has hundreds of refineries. ITs a huge stretch to claim that Nigeria has more refineries than even Japan,UK,Germany
combined.
That's a bold ass lie Nigeria has only four refineries and you import most of your refined petroleum.What other lies have you told now?

To say that Nigerian supermarket chains are bigger in Nigerian retail market is a lie because it is one of the least formalized retail trade market.If that were true then Shoprite would have closed shop long ago due to your "bigger competitors" but instead its making serious inroads bcuz those supermarkets lack experience and forex to import is in serious shortage ,

South african chains like Shoprite, Pick "N' Pay and Spar dominate Nigerian retail trade.
I dont think they have Pick N Pay in Nigeria

Not only that, they very proudly stock water melons grown in South Africa. Where is the sense or pride in that? Let Nakumatt or Tuskys try that in Kenya and they will see a backlash like never before !

You forgot to add that those refineries are epileptic at best they now have to import fuel from Ghana.

Dude, you are either one ignorant person or overly patriotic - just because Kenyan media is obsessed with politics and will report when some politicians wife doesn't know how to cook (something that many right thinking Kenyans are ashamed of) doesn't mean the rest of Africa is clean with no ethnocentric politics. As bad as Kenya is, you wont find demonstrations like these happening anywhere in Kenya. I hope you're not going to tell me to stop trusting photos and travel to Nigeria to see for myself again. grin grin

Lol! Nigeria is a hellhole.

Nobody will sacrifice their lives for her willingly.
Glad seeing her disgraced by SA and Kenya.

A failed country killed by failed incompetent rulers that drove her destiny south since 1970 into wilderness.



Kudos to Kenyans here. Julius Nyerere was a friend to Biafrans. I'm glad to see Kenya progressing.

Can't imagine that the failed nation citizens were not long ago celebrating failures like Gowon who sowed the seed of incompetence that destroyed the failed country.

When a nation has a steady supply of highly competent and intellectual LEADERS like Julius Nyerere, it doesn't take a soothsayer to know that the nation is headed right to the top.

http://www.usafricaonline.com/nyererebiafra.html

https://www.nairaland.com/2318977/biafran-struggle-through-eyes-julius

Kenya is going to go higher and higher, because she always put the best brains in her leadership positions.
A sharp contrast to a failed nation where tribal bigotry would constantly push folks to put highly incompetent RULERS including those who couldn't pass common SSCE into positions of authority.

Aanother BS, Kinza city is a scam, they haven't even laid the building foundations and Eko Atlantic is already up and running.

Kenyanstar:
About your Eko atlantic City
We have our own bigger and better versions, infact 2 cities that have far more economic ramifications.
Konza City- This is equivalent to the Silicon valley in the US, it goes by the moniker Silicon Savanah. All the technological multinationals are partners in a private-govermental funded program where the first African technology city will be built. Microsft, samsung, HSBC, Huawei etc. You can google the rest will set their base in Kenya.

The hundreds of refineries comment was a figure of speech but Nigeria does have hundreds of illegally run refineries which the federal government has refused to license.





Kenyanstar:


When you are trying to lie, at the least put some efforts onto it.... Nigeria despite its large dependency on oil revenues still pales behind when it comes to oil refineries. The entire Nigeria depends on 3 epileptic refineries for domestic use.

Nigeria

Kaduna Refinery (NNPC), 110,000 bbl/d (17,000 m3/d)
Port Harcourt Refinery (NNPC), 210,000 bbl/d (33,000 m3/d)
Warri Refinery (NNPC), 125,000 bbl/d (19,900 m3/d)

It is ignorance powered by folly that causes them to talk down on other Africans.

It is only the unfortunately successful marriage between ignorance and folly that
supplies the confidence to Nigerian youth to brimmingly spew ignorance outside while they doggedly cling on to every ideological position that keeps them inferior in today's modern day world.

Reminds me what Piers Morgan said of Amorosa on the 1st episode of the celebrity apprentice: "Her ego writes cheques her personality cannot cash".
[/size]

[size=13pt] 100% correct!

Nigerians have been fed lies from birth that we are "Giant of Africa"

Unfortunately, many African countries have a higher standard and quality of life than Nigerians. If Kenya and other countries as Botswana,Ghana, Cote d'ivoire, Rwanda, Tanzania etc and all north african countries are beating Nigeria in every human development indices and yet they don't have OIL, think of where they would have been with the vast oil wealth Nigeria had.

It is disgraceful that just a few states such as Kano, Rivers or Akwa Ibom state which takes more money from Federation account than all of Kenya's budget put together, yet we have nothing to show for all the money we have as a nation.

But, of course we cannot understand it because we a supposed to be the Giant of Africa. In reality we are the BIG Disgrace of Africa

I still see no argument in this. Having checked through the thread, it's so obvious Kenya has about 3 major cities. Nigeria has more than 10. Imagine you combine the infrastructure in all the cities for each country, then you can have a clearer picture of the argument.
Nigeria will always be ahead of Kenya. It's just the truth.

Too many distortions in one thread.

You can probably argue Kenya edges in Nigeria in a large number of aspects, but cities like Lagos and Abuja (most especially Lagos), completely murders Kenya, on a general level.

To simplify, Lagos' GDP at $130B is twice that of Kenya, while its GDP per capita (PPP), is thrice that of Kenya, and that margin is set to get even wider in some couple of years.

No hate towards Kenya, but it is what it is. I've been there (Nairobi), I have very good friends from there, both those we met from different parts of the world and those we met in Kenya (especially my very dear special Meru friend -- she is amazing).

Actually, my outfit should start operation in both Nairobi and Mombasa in few months . . . looking forward to it.

Kenya having 3 major cities to Nigeria doesn't place Nigeria ahead of Kenya considering you guys have four times our population. Again, Our 3 cities are better organized and planned than your 10 cities.
