Just open one with Ghana or SA and stop feeling jealous of Barcanista's long thread.

I won't indulge your stupidity. Run along.

We are not saying that Kenya is the best in Africa,our flaws are there and we accept them as we try to correct them.Nigeria just isn't the Giant of Africa. Morroco,SA,Egypt,Mauritia and even Angola can offer much better services to it's nationals than Nigeria! No wonder you migrate and even learn in our varsities! Where can't you just not find Nigerians migrating due to the hard life in Naija?

The same indexmundi you discredited a while ago when their data did not favour you? You are not to be taken serious.

Just for you I'll try. Be honest. Test the stats for yourself. Don't deny blindly.

Per capita cement consumption is critical since its hard to fake and construction activity is the best guide of economic activity. People have money to build and pay for workers supplies. Its a universal guide to check REAL GDP GROWTH.` Look!

http://pakistanlink.org/Opinion/2012/Dec12/21/03.HTM

The indefatigable rvp20182 has shown per capita cement consumption:



Your sugar consumption is http://www.businessdayonline.com/nigerias-sugar-consumption-hits-1-6mmt/

That's a Naij mag,btw. Ours is over TWICE! http://www.ieakenya.or.ke/blog/number-of-the-week-1-67-kgs-monthly-consumption-of-sugar-per-person-in-kenya

Or 20 kg of sugar per Kenya per year.

Here's the latest oil consumption per capita from indexmundi. Fyi,these guys are pro numbers crunchers using data from all sources to get the mean.


This is bbl per day per 1000 people

Why are you below us and Sierra leone?

Don't be shocked. Dangoteland or rather its 'experts' charged with data have taken you guys down the toilet with decades of increasingly inventive fiction-you're now paying the price.
Don't cry,scream or shout. Pls stick to the stats and answer the question and deal with the obvious implications.

Meanwhile, I'm a proud and patriotic Nigerian, it is very easy for me to say Nigeria is the best thing to happen after slice bread, but that would be mere opinion. Opinion is free though but facts remain sacred.

The idea behind this piece to to reawaken our consciousness and prick us to do what is right to make our country the greatest by exploring our potentials instead of engaging on social media brawl with countries that are clearly better than ours in every aspect at the moment

TonyeBarcanista, when you created this thread did you ever imagine it would reach this many pages and garner this many comments and views? You have really outdone yourself here I must say. Obviously there are hidden but very deep but not so nice sentiments and probably bad blood between Kenyans and Nigerians.


This must be the longest thread ever to grace Nairaland and ever will grace Nairaland (except maybe when I decide to open one with a South African theme or Ghanian theme)


It's just so sad that Africans are at their best when they are tearing each other down.


To the average white person out there Africa is just a big country where its inhabitants live on trees and take a dump in the bush. They'll never know the difference, not because we aren't different, but because they don't care.


And they are right not to care. The developments going on in Africa as we speak is mostly powered by the Americans, the Chinese, the Indians, the Lebanese and so on.


All we do is take out of the system and wait for the system to replenish itself or wait for the Whites to replenish it for us.


All African countries bear the brunt of poor and mediocre leadership and even poorer and more mediocre followership.

So excuse me if I laugh at this attempt by nationals of both country to tear each other down using infrastructure conceived and probably put up by the White man.


I think this foolishness has gone on for too long. I propose this thread be closed.

:Boy, Kenya is so undeveloped their natural wild animals roam free, British tourists had to set up game reserves and tame those animals and in the process provide food for 45 million starving Kenyans whose social graces and living conditions were no better than bonobo-chimpanzees. And get your facts right, Kenya is in East Africa not West.....Mr. Unpatriotic daft, have you compared Nigeria's PPP and GDP to Kenya's? Have you compared our per capita income to Kenya's? Olodo.


Over half of Kenya is of virgin vegetation as it was from creation. Even Nairobi is half forested with unproductivity and primal existence......

[quote author=theenchanter post=67670384]truthfully, cement consumption data can be a representation of a country's stage of development.http://www.globalcement.com/magazine/articles/858-defining-the-trend-cement-consumption-vs-gdp. Nigeria n Kenya are developing countries that can be characterized by cement consumption data. Some developing countries may even have bigger cement consumption than developed nations!

But when it comes to "per capita", populated nations may have lower rates than less po

I will just give you this last chance, I never abused you but your being desperate allowed you to resort to insult.Lagos isn't receiving any Federal allocation and yet still has a bigger economy.
The day you people understand the way Lagos economy is,you will know Lagos isn't a child's play

kikuyu1:


This thread will never die due to the delirious nature of too many Dangotelanders! Here are posts from page 3 explaining why we Kenyans are here

When we correct your boys you bleat,"looking for relevance"/"jealous" (of what ,nigga!?) etc etc. So we're constrained to hit you with facts and only the facts! Our leadership post 2002 hasn't been perfect but Kibaki and UK aren't your GEJ or Bubu-respect them! We've grown tremendously with much pain,AND BLACK MOFOS ON THE 'NET THINK THEY CAN DISS US-HELLZ NO!!
Our growth rate will see us at a Malaysian level in 30 years.

254tobby:


Well did you read my second last paragraph before quoting crap to me?I think your brain has a problem in comprehending issues,this might be a brain damage.

NairobiWalker:


Nigeria GDP is $410 billion, Kenya GDP is $88 billion. Nigeria GDP is slightly over four times Kenya's GDP. Nigeria population is about 200 million, Kenya's population is about 48 million, Nigerias population is slightly over 4 times Kenya's population. I just don't understand all the fuss about your GDP then considering you have oil and we don't. If Kenya's GDP was a tenth of Nigeria's GDP whilst our population was just a quarter then you could talk.

samsobo24:
I am not even using Nigeria, I said Lagos economy is not dependent on oil and yet its economy is bigger than kenya

What if the ongoing projects in Lagos are completed, it means Lagos economy will supercede East Africa's Economy.

You have no Excuse for your failure and inability

NairobiWalker:


Dude, what kind of an idiot are you?

1. Lagos is the economic capital of Nigeria. Common sense dictates that it will take a lion's share of your $400 billion economy. Lagos' economy being larger than Kenya's doesn't mean Nigeria is by far superior to Kenya, look at the total GDP of Nigeria v its population in comparison to Kenya's to get a clear picture. See, of the $88 billion GDP OF Kenya, Nairobi accounts for about $44 billion. That makes Nairobi a bigger economy than 80% of African countries - bigger than countries like Cote d'Ivoire and almost equal to Ghana. Can I say then Kenya is better than Ghana by far? Definitely not.

2. Oil doesn't have to be mined in Lagos for it to benefit from it. See, most Kenyans depend on Agriculture. No farming happens in Nairobi yet Nairobi contributes 50% of Kenya's GDP. Can we then say Nairobi doesn't depend on Agriculture? Definitely NO! You'll be a special kind of stupid to believe that, in fact if Agriculture went down, the economy of Nairobi will be badly hit. Why? The agricultural production of Kenya ends up in Nairobi, industries that produce Agricultural inputs are in Nairobi, horticultural products are exported via air through Nairobi, many farmers spend their money in Nairobi. You get the gist? Yes. Lagos might not have oil fields but money from oil fields is spent in Lagos, people who make money from oil invest their money in Lagos, Lagos benefits from the federal budget that draws its funds from oil. I gues lots of oil is exported through Lagos. Are you so dumb that these things have to be explained to you?

PS - All cities in Africa have ongoing projects. Stop this 'What if the ongoing projects in Lagos are completed' bullshit. It just makes you look dumb.
