i already have sense so anyother one would be Jara.

I do not like claiming this superiority thing. I am doing so now because my country is being dragged in the mud by those people who have little knowledge of it. The right thing to do here is to start a kind of pride-march. When black people's image was battered around the world, we need a 'black-power' to help us hold our heads abouve water. When gay people were being killed every where and the people felt shame for themselves, they needed a gay pride march to help themselves. I hope you get it now?

Hehehe.... is that what you call it? Pride-march?? Ok, I get it now. You have decided to engage in chest-beating about your nation, in order to make yourself feel good. Okay oh.... carry on! Continue to dwell in the realm of fantasy.

Firstly I'd like to give FFK the benefit of the doubt and disbelieve he said smth so retarded. I'd have preferred to ignore this thread but some misconceptions must be corrected. If feelings are hurt-so be it:some of you must unlearn a few things.
Statistically speaking its more accurate to use the mean and not the gross unadjusted whole,therefore per capita GDP on a purchasing power parity basis which accounts for local currency fluctuations and/or kwh per citizen are more reliable indicators of national development than GNP. The UN has a whole new measure accounting for education,water availability,environmental quality and so called gender equity for a new metric-Human Development Index.

Guess what? We're all 4th world! Don't point fingers at your bros over imaginary faults. At the same time a truly tremendous job has been done by our prez and his team. Power availability has more than doubled in the past 3 years and by late next year 75% of all Kenyans will be connected to the grid.
Kenya also punches wayyyyyy above its weight internationally and is a significant soft power [b]globally [/b]speaking. This 2 year chart has us first in Africa,behind Japan and ahead of Singapore in terms of global good.

The Good Country Index ranks 125 nations based on how much they do for others globally in seven areas: science and technology, culture, international peace and security, world order, planet and climate, prosperity and equality, and health and well being.

The ranking was created by merging of 35 data sets produced by organizations like the UN, WHO, and UNESCO over a period of nearly 3-years, according to The Economist.

"What I mean by a 'good country' is a country that contributes to the greater good," Simon Anholt, an independent policy advisor who made the index, told Business Insider. "We’ve given each country a balance-sheet to show at a glance whether it’s a net creditor to mankind, a burden on the planet, or something in between."

At our growth rate within 4-5 years our per capita GDP PPP basis currently 3000$ will catch up with your 4000$;though it'll take us another 15 years of sustained 7+% growth to reach a decent 2nd world GDP PPP of at least 16000$. Point being? Lets reserve our anger for those who put us in this sorry situation-not those climbing out of the s hitpit.

You should have taken that picture of Costain - Ijora bridge in broad daylight, without any fancy lights or photoshop effect to show the craters, potholes and bumps on that bridge. Bros, that your photo of the bridge can lie, oh! I almost lost a tyre on that same Ijora bridge last week, while trying to manoeuvre out of a pothole!

for of all, i have never seen anyone being sent money from abroad and he had difficulties cashing it except there are questions to answer. And yes, i withdraw money from my account even without "going near a bank" too.

In rural Nigeria, especially in the North, where bank and atm penetration is low, i can go to the Pos man who owns a kiosk specially for this business, i give him my same Visa card or anyother kind of debit card, he inserts it into his machine trasfer the amount that i want from my account into his and then pays me in cash. Its that simple! This is how we withdrew cash at the NYSC camp.

When it comes to payment of bills like NEPA, waste, satellite tv, etc, i do it using my mobile app. Connecting flights etc, these are things we doing here using our mobile phones. To recharge my phone, if i feel like i do it using my own phone by dialing some codes and if i feel like, my sister does it for me from her own phone on her own account!

The last time i went to a super market to buy just a pressing iron, i used my card to pay. And i get an alert in the end.

So tell me what the big deal is about this Kenyan mobile money! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BIG DEAL!

Don't get me wrong. If Kenya is doing very well, then, alhamdulillah for them. But what i do not like is the cynicism we see in Nigeria which is based on nothing else but just frustration. When i see that cynicism, i will stand up to it with superior points!

The likes of you talk about the country like the Fed. Rep of Nigeria owes you anything, the fact it that it doesn't owe you anything and i want you to suck it up like a real man, not a childish pretender that you guys are portraying hereo

GLOBAL INNOVATION INDEX 2016 Rankings on 3rd column.

Yes,bifwoli! Like I said;in its own way Kenya punches above its weight globally in terms of innovation.

craziebone:


can you compare the exchange rate between the british pound and the japanese yen? What about the sterling to the Euros? Does it mean that the british economy is better than the German and the Japanese? You guys really need more education.

As for life expectancy, Cuba has a better life expectancy than the US, but can you compare the two countries at all?

As for power. Maybe Kenya doesn't have the system that we have in Nigeria and that explains why you think they are better.

The point is: Nigeria has a quota system which allowes the country to share around everything that the FG has to offer. Of the 4K MW we generate, 1050mw is given to Lagos. But in Lagos, there are many more houses and companies relying on that small amount of power. This means that a place like Okene and other small towns and villages that are connected to the grid have more power than the average home in Lagos even though their states have way less power allocated to them.

Its likein Kenya, there is no political decision like this made so what informs their sharing pattern is purely economic factors. This could explain why their city centres may have more power.

Nigeria's economy is not only larger than that of Kenya, our per capita is still better than theirs, fact!

It is funny how you rubbish several factors that Kenya is better than Nigeria at then finish off by concluding Nigeria is better just due to a single factor - GDP. lol

1. The exchange rate doesn't tell the perfomance of an economy - it is the stability of the currency that tells. Japan's currency might have lower value but it's very stable. So far the Kenyan shilling is WAYYY more stable than the Naira. A little change in oil prices and your currency is tumbling.

2. Yes, Cuba has a better life expectancy than America. That doesn't mean Cuba is better than America but it's better than America in that aspect. Just like Nigeria has lower HIV rates than SA but SA beats Nigeria in many other things.

3. Quota system or not, the fact remains Nigeria doesn't produce enough electricity for it's citizens. If you were producing enough electricity there would be no need for the quota system in the first place. Just like in Kenya we used to have a quota system between 1999 - 2002 because we were not producing enough electricity then.

Kenyans are less likely to migrate to Nigeria because they lack exploring behaviour. What took you, Pavore9, to Kenya? Did you go there to look for job? How many Nigerians go to Kenya to look for job and a better life? If Nigerians go to Kenya, then it is the same way they go to Ghana. They either go for more education, or are doing business there. Didn't you just mention it that you are exporting goods to that country? And this brings me to yet another point, economy. Those who say their economy is better and more diversified should explain to me how comes the likes of you, Pavore9, are exporting manufactured goods from Nigeria to Kenya and we do not have a single Kenyan product in Nigerian market apart from Kenyan airways?

The question is what effect do those products have on the Kenyan market? You probably drink Kenyan tea and Kenyan milk and there are several Kenyan products in the Nigerian market but they are too few for you to feel the effect. Just like your Nigerian friend exports things to Kenya yet the average Kenyan has never used any Nigerian product.

craziebone:


my dear, when people go from Nigeria to other countries for the first time, they always want to say something like that. But do you honestly think just few hours into living in another country, your mother knows enough about Kenya to begin to compare the two countries? Some people will leave Lagos for Minna and they will praise how organised Minna is to Lagos and also how more often they have power than Lagos, but to claim that Minna is now better than Lagos is absolute buuuullshit!!!!

Infrastructure is infrastructure it doesn't matter if it is provided by the government or not. Most Nigerians provide their own water when they build their houses, can you now say that's backwardness?

Again. If Kenya produces about 2k mw of electricity and they have "constant supply" in Nairobi and else where, then it is because they are giving way too much to their major cities than they are giving to the other parts.

In Nigeria, while Lagos recieves the highest amount of power generated, it doesn't have light as frequently as say Okene in Kogi state even though Kogi lets very little supply than Lagos.

So get it and just stop it already! I know what the problem is: its is frustration and nothing more!

Some of you guys are so deluded - there is constant electricity supply in almost EVERY village in Kenya.

Kenya where people are dying of starvation?
Kenya has cooked all its data for years to look good. Now the bag of lies is bursting at the seams.

This is where it all started. And if it must continue, it should be here.

Correct.
FFK was right. Nigeria has got serious issues, most is tied to bad leadership and our northern part debacle. But inspite of these, Nigeria is still a champion in Africa compared to smaller sub Sahara African countries. It is easier to make money in Nigeria than in a country like Kenya. There are more opportunities here. But then many of us believe our country should be above the average African country, hence the frustration.

You were massacred on that other thread. The moderators took pity on you.

We've got Innosson Cars made in Nigeria. The Ghanaians have got Katanka made in Ghana. Even Japan started by copying European and American brands.
WeChat, Zte, Huawei, Toyota, and other Asian brands are champions today.
