LadyX:

You know you should pity your fellow Nigerians coz I don't need pity.

Perhaps you should try talking to them to stop spoiling the reputation of Nigeria outside. Am saying this with good heart. Because last year I tried linking a Nigerian who has a legitimate company in Nigeria with a big company in another country, but the outcome was negative because those people could not trust the Nigerian.

Try to improve your country and country men and women for the future generations.

I won't continue arguing with you because it's not adding any value to my value. And no, am not jobless. And I impact people's lives in the real world

I did say am one of the very few with a good reputation to represent the country. I'm sorry about what your Nigerian friend did to you or if he did anything at all. The truth is there are more Nigerians doing good than bad. Bad news travels faster hence the reason why it seems to be there is more bad than good in Nigeria.

naijalander:


Ok. so you are just a hater of all things Nigeria then. Good to know, moving on now.

I don't have space in my heart to hate on people or things. + I have Nigerian friends and colleagues

I think you misunderstood my post. I said I was helping a Nigerian to get some business deal with a company in another country, but the company turned down the proposal because of the person being Nigerian. I have no personal problem with my Nigerian friends

Ok so whose fault is it? The company that turned down the proposal because of the person being Nigerian or your honest friend. I think even if Nigeria stopped being corrupt, people would still be less objective about the place. Stereo types are just what they are. Doesn't mean they are true.

Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa......those are Kenyan cities, arent they?

Pardon me,but Abuja ranked 3rd,Ibadan ranked 6th,and port-harcourt ranked 8th.As for Kenya cities Nairobi came 4th,Mombasa 9th,and Kumasi was the least among the list so what's up

Ignore the fault face the reality,what's your say about the rank

That question brings me to what I told you earlier: talk to your fellow Nigerians to stop damaging the reputation of Nigeria.

If you channel the energy you are using on this thread to bring down Kenya towards making Nigerians better citizens, your countrymen will get better treatment in the international arena.

You can open a thread and talk to them. Some of the people selling drugs, defrauding others, etc could be on this forum. With such a thread you could make someone change their mind about commiting crimes. It starts with one person. You could be that person who will help to clean the image of Nigeria outside.

Kisumu, not Kumasi.
For Nigeria to be on the same level of Kenya you must do things four times better than us since you have four times our population. Nigerian should have four times more cities than Kenya on that list to be on the same level

bring down Kenya? I should probably get of this thread. The facts I have presented have me mis understood by the readers.

I was talking about an earlier post he posted buddy. Stop being subjective - anyone can say any city is industrialized - what matters is to what extend and how livable that city is so naming every other city and making those claims is irrelevant. As far as I know, the only city with decent livability amongst those you mentioned is Enugu and Calabar. The others are crap.

what is your proof that the rest of them are not liveable?

Do people not reside in these cities?

And yes they are industrialized, leave sentiments aside.

Excluding Nairobi and Mombasa none of your city is as decent as Kano

Their livability index is low. Those people are surviving in them. You clearly don't understand the definition of an industrialized city.

Why do / did you choose to live in Nairobi ? There are certainly plenty more better places in Africa with fewer idiots speaking with more acceptable (to you) accents such as Khartoum /Bangui /Mogadishu /Luanda /Kinshasa /Kampala etc etc. Why Nairobi?

Health officials in Nigeria are gearing up for a massive emergency polio immunization drive after two children were paralyzed by the disease.

The two new polio cases in Nigeria are the first detected on the African continent in more than two years.

Nigerian health officials plan to vaccinate nearly 5 million kids across the northeast of the country in an effort to contain this latest outbreak.

Next Year Could Mark The End Of Polio

Next Year Could Mark The End Of Polio
The re-emergence of polio in Nigeria is a major setback for global efforts to eradicate the disease.

Prior to this week, the polio virus appeared to be on the verge of defeat: Afghanistan and Pakistan were the only countries reporting ongoing transmission of the virus. Including these two children who've been paralyzed in Nigeria, there've been only 21 polio cases reported anywhere in the world this year.

The two Nigerian cases were found in the volatile northeastern state of Borno along the border with Chad. The area is a stronghold of Boko Haram, which has made routine immunization drives difficult. The terror group has publicly denounced the vaccination campaigns as a Western plot, killed immunizers and made it difficult for government health officials to even enter some parts of the country.

Nigeria's health minister, Isaac Adewole, issued a statement saying that the cases were only detected because of a military offensive against the militant Islamist group.

"The discovery and confirmation of the outbreak was as a result of strengthened surveillance due to improved accessibility which has been made possible by the recent military action in liberating more communities in the North-Eastern part of the country," according to the statement.

Adewole added, "Our overriding priority right now is to rapidly boost immunity in the affected areas to ensure that no more children are affected by this terrible disease."

The World Health Organization has also vowed to pour resources into Nigeria to try to make sure the virus is contained in the Nigeria/Chad border region and doesn't regain a foothold in Africa.

Nigeria has been the Achilles' heel of polio eradication in Africa in the past.

A decade and a half ago, religious leaders in some parts of Nigeria actively denounced polio vaccination as part of a Western plot to sterilize Muslim children.

Even as other nations on the continent wiped out polio, Nigeria served as reservoir where the virus survived, sparking outbreaks throughout West Africa as travelers moved throughout the region.

Just four years ago, Nigeria accounted for more than half of all the polio cases reported worldwide — 122 of the 223 global cases in 2012. Up until this week it appeared that Nigeria had successfully eliminated polio and was on track to be declared polio-free by the WHO next summer. It takes three years without a case to be eligible for the designation.

UNICEF, which has been one of the lead agencies fighting polio in Nigeria, vowed to redouble efforts in the region and "not stop until we reach every child with polio vaccination."

Unlike the rusty roofs of Ibadan below, Nakuru's roofs are actually brown clay tiles and not rust. Compare them with Ibadan below.

That side of Ibadan has been there since the 1800s. Doesn't mean the people there are poor and hopeless.
That is the statue of one of its old leaders Aare Latosa. Ibadan is older than Nairobi.
