now,u're filling ur hollow brain,when u're spending about $10 dollar daily,why wont those doing the chat be fooled? but in reality,u're really fooling urselves.

my man @TAYER....where are u?its been long I see ur educative comments,all these Ghanaians has nothing in their skull.

you've made a point .. but then you can use quantitative/statistics to hide facts or the realities on the ground. Ghana is about 1/4 the size of Nigeria in landmass .. just as you have 36 states, Ghana has 10 administrative regions. what i've realised is Nigerians hide behind the huge numbers they churn out (due to their huge population) to distort facts when you engage them in any discourse. same way their leaders use those figures to deceive the populace. Just imagine a leader say the whole of water used in Ghana will not be enough to flush WCs in Lagos alone. meanwhile majority of the people living in Lagos needs electricity to draw water from the ground. Pumping water from the ground is not the norm in Ghana just as i don't know how to operate a generator. if you want an informed discussion you will get one. but if you want to belittle other countries or demonstrate ignorance .. i'll gladly defend my country, Ghana.

Nowenuse:


The problem with Ghanaians and Kenyans is that they think Nigeria functions like their smaller countries.

Nigeria is developing like the United states with different states developing their own economies and competing with each other.

Ghana as a smaller country will gather all their available money to build one hospital in Accra and be bragging day and night about it, WHILE different Nigerian states on the other hand will be building their own different hospitals in their different states and at the end of the day Ghana will have only 1 in Accra, while Nigeria will have over 1 dozen in different states.

Nigerian leaders must work hard to change the face of Makoko and Nigeria at large,

Marcelo290:
Every African nation has it's share of poor people. What I find hard to understand is why most people here find it hard to reason in line with what my fellow compatriots have been trying to explain for a long time now, which still looks like a vain mission.

This is mostly from the Ghanaians here, why do they so much hate Nigerians and type with so much hate?? I should be scared to visit that country with what am seeing here, who knows I may be lynched on knowing am a Nigerian. I just want to clear the air on this issue to avoid further arguments.

Nigerians aren't poor or even near to what you may regard a pauper, which is obtainable in many African nations I don't want to mention. Nigeria has the highest population of average people who work hard daily to make ends meet, you can't regard these people as poor unless your definition of poverty is different from mine, many of these struggling people feed and still manage to at least send their wards to a Federal University which are plenty here.

What inflates the number of poor people here is the North East. This region has had countless of attacks owing to the insurgence and Boko Haram attacks which many of you already know. Again this region was lagging behind their southern counterparts before all these owing to their religious affinity which already made them not open to development, the North has commercial cities like Kano, Kaduna, Maidugri (war ravaged) and many more which are buzzing in business, but most of these people would rather resort to begging and over dependence on Govt then live in abject poverty instead of going out to work, am not generalizing cos they still got many potentials and hardworking people. Adding to these, their polygamous nature also keeps increasing the population.

Another one is the immigration factor, most people from war ravaged and poor Countries like Chad, Niger due to starvation and search for greener pastures emigrate to Nigeria, because they all have a border in the North, so these all add up to rate of poverty in the North and Nigeria at large since they are also included as Nigerians because you can hardly differentiate them from our core Northerners here owing to their similar culture and religion.

My point is, An average Nigerian is not poor, The insurgence, population factor is what is making it look so when you take the average. An average Nigerian is enlightened and has access to the internet.

I tried to be objective as I can, and this is the reality or near-realtity of what is on ground here...

Many Ghanaians and other Africans from other smaller countries are just very bitter souls. Many of them are very angry that they belong to smaller and uninfluencial countries, so when they see large nations like Nigeria making progress and still dominating the cultural sphere of the region, they switch to attack mode.

These bitter souls do not know the pains and sacrifice the average Nigerian pays to maintain the oneness of a huge country like Nigeria.

They devote their time to try to rubbish and make fun of Nigeria in order to massage their little egos and at least feel better about themselves and their little development.

They forget that a baby Elephant and a baby Zebra may be born about the same size, but as they grow older the difference becomes clearer and the Elephant takes it rightful place.

Aside North-east and North-west Nigeria that is really dragging Nigeria backwards, Nigeria would have been leading Africa in most of the human indexes.
However, gradually, this gap is closing up and in few decades from now, these regions will catch up with the south.
North-central region used to be very backwards too like North-east and North-west, but North-centrals are rapidly catching up with the south and in less than 10 years from now, they will equal the south in almost all Human indexes and development.

I sincerely wished Nigeria and Kenya would have a better relationship cos we obviously seem to have more in common. I wish we were in the same sub region.
I rather identify with Kenya than that lifeless country filled with hate filled ugly souls called Ghana.

MtuMsuper:

You're just stubborn. Who between wikipedia and the website i gave you are more accurate and up to date. You think the UN has never been fed and dished out bogus data? How many times will you be told wikipedia is a mere guide and so so many of it's entries out of date. Its content is user generated and verified by peers. Many many times they are way off the mark.

I hope the data didn't shock you, its just bloody true, sad to admit. My own mother is 65 and i taught her how to use whatsapp, which i communicate with her everyday. Everyday! Mid next year i intend to install wifi in her house to stop her using expensive bundles. Her rural farm is near a major town so its no biggie. My 62 year old mother in law communicates to me via whatsapp as well and i have been on the end of a losing battle with her other children and grandchildren for her not to open a facebook account which she duly did just last month. So far she has 164 friends and counting. Bros, internet is real in kenya so stop using the false premise that being a rural dweller excludes one from the internet.

Ps: It has been shown in this thread that there are more bank branches per 1,000 pop in Kenya than in Nigeria. Search for that mini convo. Nigeria has large banks and that's it. They don't seem to be able to bank the less affluent,something kenyan banks have excelled in. Mpesa is a payment platform more than a money sending service nowadays, some people i know never carry cash, just their boring mobiles.

gracias.....Kenyans are still sensible,i'll search for that good friend,but I don't think Mpesa can really work in Nigeria cos I just think we're larger than that,we use e-banking instead.
