I'm not sure what you're seeing. If you paint those shiit yellow, they would easily pass for Danfo buses. And the errant picture you're talking about is from Uganda who apparently also call their buses "matatus". Nothing "West African" about it. In any case, regardless of whether they look better than Danfo buses, it was misleading trying to claim all matatus are like those pimped eyesores. And I'm not being churlish or ungracious or jealous or whatever (I dish out praise for friend or foe alike when it's merited) but all that pimping of those matatus is unsightly and juvenile and I hear many of them blare music like they're in some discotheque. Why not just drive a clean bus rather than trying too hard to be hipster and cool with ridiculous graffiti on your vehicles.

There are options of course - we have "clean buses" - but certainly nothing like dafnos - those are way too rickety and badly built. I guess Nigeria has no manufacturing or car assembly industry to talk about...so you end up with badly made shared taxis.

It's about choice - if you prefer clean quiet buses..there are thousands of that. The indusry is still largely informal - but kenya has made tremendous progress to formalize them - all must belong to SACCO (savings and credit) - and there are strict regulations they follow.

I thought u said you left Nigeria for Europe during Obasanjo regime... are u suffering and smiling in Europe too??

Obi1kenobi:


Those aren't really how all or even most of your public buses look, are they? It's almost like you convince yourself many of your lies are actually true. Seconds of Googling tells me the majority of your mass transit buses look more like this:

Talking about sleepless nights, I can see you Kenyans are the first on this thread today. Did you type this from church? As you must have noticed, we are also staying tight on this thread to continue exposing you Kenyans at least the liars among you. The thread is much nicer now as most of the angry childish Kenyans who love to insult others have been beaten into angry impotent silence. We are here too. And your boy RSVP can do with some help. Don't abandon him. He has used like 4 different monicker here. That's a sign of desperation.

theenchanter:
so, danfo is d only mode of road transportation and no other choice in Nigeria or what are u insinuating?? U guess Nigeria doesn't have manufacturing or car assembly industry as if u have an automotive industry in Kenya.

U can continue to deceive urself and ur country-men here but not me.

rvp20182:
Related to matatu/share taxi sector is the SACCOS - the savings and credit co-op. Of the top 20 Saccos in Africa, 18 are from Kenya.. A feat that now ranks the country’s Sacco sector first in Africa and seventh in the world

2/3 of ALL SACCO assets in Africa are in Kenya.

Kenyans whenever they are employed or do business - start these co-operative movement - where they can jointly save and borrow - cheaply -rates of less than 10% are possible with upto 4 times your total savings - while banks in Kenya will charge you 14-15%. In Nigeria - you'd be luckly to borrow at 20% interest rate

A giants where its people run to other african countries in millions and most of them are in legal in other african countries. Fooling them selves here why their children are refugees in other african countries. A country where the people are suffering and smiling .a country which is the worst to bring up a child in the world and they are happy. A country which is the most corrupt in the world and they are happy. A country which call other countries sleeve but they are the biggest sleeves in the world. The run to other african countries to be slaves illegal sleeves in they millions and then fool themselves they are the messiah off the blacks.

I didn't join this discriminative forum of yours to have a consistent loggerheads with some of you Nigerians,I've been in this thread for quite some time and whenever a topic rises especially in county comparison,we only respond where its necessary and with maturity but on the other side you 'lazy' people are there to bad mouth every one's opinion even if its proven with facts.

And Mark you,don't think that you've thrashed us into silence,its just that we're following because we don't want to engage in a verbal diarrhoea with insulters,on top of that we have many things to do apart from poking on this thread to argue nonsense that country x is better than county y and vice versa.

Some of these Nigerians who keeps on dragging confrontation with Kenyans find something else important to do than lowering your dignity,or you can even do some online freelancing instead of wasting your bundles on this stupid thread that was started by a Nigerian.

I heard you call yourselves Nairaland E-warriors.
You'll never find any African country with this kind of hogwash forum.

See your lives you dudes!

sufferNsmiling:


Why most of we nigerians behave like that fighting other africans is because nigeria is now nothing today. Nigeria has fallen from the grace lands to a waist land today off nothing. Nigeria has lost all his companies and industries to other african countries . Nigeria Is the laughing stock of the world only thing with produce are criminals. So we nigerians are very jealous that our companies have left to other african countries even are investors. So once a nigerian sees another african they become jealous and start to fight them because we nigerians are suffering for our illiteracy and stupidity.

This little boy! When will you have a little sense?You've interacted with Nigerians on this thread for two years and you are still this silly. So company buses and a Kenyatta university bus qualify as public transport in Kenya? Desperate you .

sufferNsmiling:


You cannot compare nigeria and kenya. In kenya things work in nigeria on the other hand the criminals are the ones making the laws so you cannot expect things to work. The people which are passing the laws are the ones breaking the laws in nigeria. In kenya today if the government pass in law tomorrow everybody will obey the law. In nigeria if the government passes a law today the same people in government will never obey that law. If you see a rich kenyans he became rich and his community is benefiting and the people are developer from his richness on the other hand if you see a rich nigerian he became rich by destroying the people around him. an example is you find a us dollar millionaire in nigeria all the people around him are suffering even his mother and father and in he village there is actually no activity going on. What is the used to become a millionaires or billionaires when you are destroyed the country and the people are happy.

Daejoyoung:

Hmmm, tell me something, So you mean Seun Osenwa, Tony Elumelu, and the likes all got rich by destroying the people around them?

Even the Kenyans you are defending must be ashamed of your line of arguements.

The point is that we don't have those kind of old crap yellow danfos and Nigeria needs to improve her car assembly industry if that's the Kind of vehicles which looks like unroadworthy vehicles that they assembles.

jealous ! of who ? Kenya ! lol I laugh in hindi

And that is why Kenyans are poorer on average than Nigerians.

For real bro,you understand what he wrote?

nwoke37:


You can't compare Nigeria's car manufacturing and assembly industry to Kenya.. lol

This is Innoson(IVM) an indigenous car manufacturer who makes cars for citizens as well as for the police and army.. He also makes garbage trucks and road sweepers






Here are his garbage trucks


Also Innoson makes spare parts for the Nigerian Air Force alpha jets.. Here's a CNN article
https://www.cnn.com/2016/03/23/africa/innoson-nigeria-jet-parts/index.html

Keep in Mind that it was a Nigeria black person who founded Innoson not some white guy like that of Mobius in Kenya...

Innoson is already exporting cars to Mali..

254tobby:


You're hyping much with innoson that was founded just recently while Kenya first established her car manufacturing plant in 1986.
Check this.

The first attempt for Kenya to have a car manufacturing plant was in 1986, when the former President Moi commissioned the University of Nairobi to develop a car affordable to Kenyans. His motivation was to have a car that was built in Kenya, by Kenyans unlike the foreign models that were being assembled across Africa. This saw the Nyayo Pioneer prototype launched in 1990 with the ability to run at 120 kilometers per hour. However, due to inadequate capacity in automobile engineering as well as funding, the Nyayo Motor Corporation established to do mass production did not pick up. Kenya thus lost an opportunity to build capabilities in vehicle manufacturing industry.

We're soon going to revive our capabilities in the vehicle manufacturing plant being that our automotive industry is growing too.
