You won against Iceland - 200M country against Iceland with 0.3M people. You do not even feel ashamed? wait until Nigiria win against Argentina and advance to group stage before bragging here. KQ is ready to bring your team back home.

rvp2018:
Apart from his English - SufferNSmilling is a rare Nigerian. You guys need more of him. Honest people who can tell you the kind of mess your country is. As for him being Kenyan - that is rich No sane kenyan will want to be associated with Nigeria.

Daejoyoung:

How does population play a role in football? When you think it suits your arguement, you use Nigeria's population as a yardstick against her, when we bring up the topic of population to show why we have a lower HDI (0.52) to Kenya (0.55), you say we are making excuses.
FYI, lndia, China, USA are way more populated than Nigeria and they didn't even qualify for this World Cup.

These people matter just tire me i swear...dem sabi bring excuse come no be small...wettin com concern population with foothball...abi na population play the ball ne. I no just understand this kenyans i swear.

We are ranked no 1 sporting nation in Africa. Read below and stop talking from your ass.

rvp2018:
I see you long lost any semblance of sobriety. Kenya is one of the greatest sporting nations of the world - not Africa. Our indians do well representing us in Cricket - all the way to world level.

According to this website - that ranks great sporting nations across all discipline - Kenya is at position 19 globally (RANKED NO 1 in AFRICA) - and Nigeria at position 90(13 in Africa)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does Kenya have any smartphone assembly plant?

rvp2018:
Just share you figures. You consume around 18M tonnes per year for nearly 4 times our population(198M). We consume around 6M with 48M folks. Basic maths - you need to consume around 24M metric tonnes to catch kenya per capita

As for Lagos - it's pretty much irrelevant -coz you sit in francophone region - so Ibandan most likely has more kick than Lagos.

Nairobi is definitely the HQ of many multinationals in Africa, regional HQs of many embassies, the only UN HQ in developing world, the financial center of SSA outside South Africa, the regional Airport hub (with Joburg & Adis Ababa), etc.

That thread at SkyeScraperCity that rans 42 pages - has list of companies that have chosen Nairobi to be their regional if global HQ (like Oxfam recently did - moving their international HQ to Nairobi from London).

Lol It's better to win Soccer World Cup than winning a World Cup in RUGBY (if it exists). Ronaldo and Messi has more fans than any Rugby players.
When they're talking of Soccer, don't mention Rugby.

New Zealand: 4.8 million..................yet they
dominate Rugby ?
Stupid comparison really!

Daejoyoung:

Lagos has 31, Nigeria has 55, Kenya has 30. l dunno how many Nairobi have out of that 30.
Gosh, is it that Kenyans can't read or they all have eyefever on this thread?

Another tech hub just got birthed in Lagos. It is owned by Nigerians. Here is Vibranium Valley:
They just put up their office in Lagos.


Since inception 6 years ago, Venture Garden Group
has quietly grown 6 fully owned entities focused on
leveraging technology to create African solutions to
African problems. In the past 2 years, the company
has invested in 14 fintech-enabled companies
across Nigeria and our early stage deployed capital
has yielded over 5.6x portfolio returns and it is just
getting started.

Football is the king of sports. If you are not there you are nowhere. I know it hurts you your country can not play football. That's your tough luck.

I just love the codelagos program by Lagos state government, it is geared towards training 1m primary n secondary school students by 2030 on coding, it'll turn out big since young, I mean very young guys are undergoing d training.

4 Nigerian states have adopted the strategy too, Edo launched it's innovation hub last two weeks in partnership with Microsoft n Siemens. Infact, Siemens signed another partnership with d innovation hub tagged hack Edo series . Nigeria should rank higher in tech in some years to come.

obaaderemi:
If cement production in Nigeria is 30m Metric T, how then can we consume just 18mMT if we are importing like you said earlier? Kenya on the other hand has seen massive decline in its cement consumption. You are now lower than 6m metric tonnes. 6 against 30 for Nigeria. Which one will you see as the dwarf?Of course, it's Kenya.

rvp2018:
Kenya has rolled out digital literacy in all schools from primary 1.

US $ China $ Kenya dont play Football that good but are still great sporting nations

[b]A rule of thumb for understanding GDP’s PPP and nominal is that PPP is how much of a local good (like real estate, labor, or locally grown produce) a person can buy in their country, [/b]and nominal is roughly how much of an internationally traded good (diamonds, DVD players, Snickers bars) a person can buy in their country.

Thus, developing countries tend to have a higher (better) PPP than nominal, while developed countries have higher nominal than PPP. You can get dinner for $10 or a DVD player for $100 in the US, or you can get dinner for $2 or a DVD player for $100 in China. If you compare a Chinese person making $20 a day to an American making $150 a day, the Chinese person is slightly poorer in dinners than the American (1/10 of income versus 1/15), but is a lot poorer in DVD players than the American (5x income versus 2/3 of income). See how that works?

oga, is everything competition to u? did I talked about Kenya in my post? Since u reek of inferiority complex, I'll show u d difference between ours n yours.

Ur digital literacy was initiated in 2013, its aim is to let Kenyan students learn d use of digital platforms like computer, smartphones, tablets and others, it's like learning with digital gadgets.

Ours is much different from urs because ours is inculcating coding, programming, artificial intelligence and others into d students.

obaaderemi:
U.S and China play football and put a lot of money into it. Some big names play in the chinese league. China will be a force in football in ten years the way they are going.Both countries have been to the FIFA world cup. Please don't lump them up with your sorry Little India that can never qualify for neither football world cup nor rugby world cup. It's an unforgivable insult.

kikuyu2:


Mwenzangu,I've just seen somethings missing. We've established beyond doubt the Dangoteland GDP nominal,which is very easy to calculate. There are 2 broadly accurate figures of 1300-1400,or as their own Housing minister said,some 1130$ to our 1800$. What about GPD PPP per capita which some say is the more accurate measure ?
Everyone else Purchasing Power Parity attempts to account for local conditions.


https://applebutterdreams./the-difference-between-gdp-nominal-and-gdp-ppp/

On paper ours is 3500$ while Dangoteland's is I strongly suspect as hilariously inflated as everything else at 5900$.

Care to give it a go?

rvp2018:
This thread let me remind you again is all about comparison btw NIGERIA & KENAY. Therefore I'll discuss or most likely rip apart anything you say with that in mind. I just hope to be objective. If you want to discuss the "plan" of training 1M nigerian to code...open another thread.

Now Oga - this code school thing - as of now - how many kids have they actually taught to learn to code. You see Nigeria and big expensive dreams are well know.

Our digital literacy program exists - we had to build infrastructure for it - electrify all public schools - include those in remote dry north - then we supplied all schools with tablets - with projectors & laptops for teachers - this is for all primary kids - starting from class 1. We have done the same thing - labs - for high schools. And now we are rolling out fiber.

theenchanter:
As I said earlier, ours n urs aren't d same.... Urs deals with digital literacy n ours deal with coding.
