Abuja is far better than Durban, Port Elizabeth and Bloemfontein. Fact

Lagos is far more developed than any city in South Africa save Johannesburg. Fact.

I’m going to have to disagree with you having lived in both Nigeria and South Africa and visited Lagos, Abuja, Cape town, durban and johannesburg I will have to say that those cities are better than anything nigeria has to offer. The slums are smaller, the roads are better, the water supply is constant same for the power supply, the buildings are maintained, bigger and better malls, we might get there in about 7-10 years but for now we don’t compare to South African cities

jln115:
Bro George was voted best city in SA........ and you think Calabar or Enugu is better. LOL!!

Same with Centurion.... Its way way above any Nigerian city never mind Enugu and Calabar

I have to agree with jln115, Most parts of Nigeria could not compare with Johannesburg, but Lekki, VI, marina, Abuja cbd, asokoro, maitama they can compare with the Sandton areas in Johannesburg the only difference is access to water and electricity, but ultimately no whole city in Nigeria can compare to a whole city in South Africa.

Does anyone have any information on the UNO state of cameroon, which will remove parts of Taraba, adamawa and borno state on the 10th of July 2020, not sure if it’s factual or not.

Kuruptnigga:
So you mean Port Louis, Rabat, Lusaka, Windhoek, Gaborone And Pretoria are ahead of Abuja

Port Louis, Windhoek, Gaborone and Pretoria are definitely ahead of Abuja, trust me but Lusaka I don’t believe that one

kevomtaani:
I would remove Pretoria, Gaborone, Windhoek, port Louis and lusaka.
I would add Nairobi, Dar, Luanda,Addis and Abidjan.
Kigali would get an honorable mention.

Only the coast in Luanda is developed most of it is a slum with very high retail prices, you cannot include Luanda that is just dumb. And as far as I’m concerned Abuja is more developed than Luanda and at par with Abidjan

Just30:
you keep making noise

This is Ghana total road network.

https://www.ghanaiantimes.com.gh/the-importance-of-good-road-network-in-ghana/
109,515km of roads.

While prove of tarred roads network put it at
34,000km as at 2018. But i cant find that report from the technocrats.

So that this one from a politician
https://www.ghanabusinessnews.com/2019/06/13/only-27-of-roads-in-ghana-are-paved-minister/




the only prove of tarred roads in Kenya puts the figures at 10,000km

According to Wikipedia ghana has 40 000km of tarred roads and

PrecisionFx:
How many centuries u spent on nairaland changes nothing.

The ports in Warri, Calabar n Rivers are not river ports......That u have spent 400 years on nairaland wouldn't change that

Calabar is a river port, it is not in the ocean, Calabar is located upstream from the clean so it is a river port

Azmanaty:
Just curious. Was watching Aljazeera this morning and saw Biafran flags in the American Protest Arena..

These guys surely knows how to make use of opportunities..

That’s the Libyan f,as, they are protesting the us involvement in the Libyan civil war, the f,as is similar but you can see that the middle is white and more of the Islamic star and not a rising sun.

0monnak0da:
That is what you like to believe but that is nonsense.. DO you have evidence?

Or is it the same order of evidence as

Arthur Eze is the ririchest Nigerian

Orji Uzor Kalu is so rich CBN begged him to take his money to World Bank

US Army buys drones in Onitsha Market

Onitsha Market is the largest in the Milky Way


According to you the largest importers of cars,trucks, petrols ,Machines are Eboes


Nigerian Brewery ,Guinness Flour Mill Dangote is Eboe


So why were these same Eboes not begged to invest in Lekki but they must be begged to invest in Ibaka.?

The us army doesn’t buy drones from onitsha market stop lying, dangote is building a refinery which produces more money than a flour mill in Lagos, and Arthur eve is not the richest Nigerian he isn’t even a billionaire yet.

I would say in the mate 2030s, because right now we are laying the stones for future development, new railways, new mega ports, new airports and investments in agriculture will spur the country in and Mark my word in 2023 something big will happen in Nigeria. I don’t know what and I don’t when in 2023 but something big is going to happen.

They said it not us

New Nigerian tanks and artillery on the way to the northeast the VT-4 battle tank is the second best tank currently in use in Africa only behind Egypt’s abrams.

rvp2018:
why is UN still feeding Nigerians in tents in North East. Nearly every day - Boko Haram are killing Nigeria. I think on 20th May they killed 20.

Please stop this nonsense about a powerful black nation. It is VERY INSULTING.

You shame every black person by failing to use oil and by acting like an animal zoo. You're like Liberia or Haiti - that racist America use to show just how incompetent a black person is.

You got the report backwards Nigerian military killed 20 Boko Haram fighters. And the rest of the things you are saying I’m not bothered to explain if your not willing to speak without insults and proper reasoning then please don’t reply me.

rvp2018:
Heck Kenya spend nearly 400M dollars annually on our intelligence. This different from KDF. or our police force.

The spy agency- National Intelligence Service (NIS)- got Sh37.7 billion with Sh26.9 billion allocated to the Prisons Department.

NIS for example has maybe 500 or less WORK FORCE. And we are spending 400M dollars on it.

YOU WIN MODERN WAR THROUGH INTELLIGENCE - NOT WEAPONS. Kenya spy agency was not allowed to have even a pistol - until a year ago - but they do very many damage - because they know nearly everything going on in Kenya and the region.


NIS officer in kenya are very well paid - I think most start from 1,500usd - but majority earn better than private sector. These people don't have weapons - but they know everything - about everything going on . If Boko Haram were here - they would inflitrate and know everything before it happen - and all KDF would do is fly their planes - and kill them.

Nigeria has drones and military satellites we shove do have intelligence services that is how we have been bombing Boko Haram settlements for the last three weeks, and have been able to invade them with ground troops as well. The government is trying to get 5-8 military satellites by 2025 and bring in more drones and fighter jets soon Nigeria will be sending aircrafts to other countries to help them with terrorism.

rvp2018:
Boko Haram have tanks - and name it. Maybe you only beat them in the Airforce. They have huge territory - not just Sambisa forest - but nearly 2-3 states in Nigeria.

You cannot compare to Alshabaab - who are just cowardly terrorist - who sneak in, launch an attack and are killed.

That was years ago today they only occupy the borders of lake chad, their main bases are the islands of lake chad, stop lying the Nigerian government has gone on a massive offensive and pushed them very far back, and by your same logic America’s military is weak because they were unable to defeat ISIS right. And finally Boko Haram is supported by the French and american, you may not know but it serves a purpose for them, for Africa to stay underdeveloped it make sit easier to exploit them for resources, Nigeria is one of the only countries stopping this, being a large political influencer and powerful black nation if they ever get a competent leader and develop, they will kick out America, so destabilizing the country is one of the only ways to stop that from happening. Same applies to Kenya and Iran who do you think funded the taliban and al shabaab than they pretended to help. America and France have military bases all around lake chad, with reaper drones and fighter jets as a few thousand troops, why haven’t they sent them to fight Boko Haram, they are not there to help anyone all of it is for their own gain, France would be nowhere without African resources and exploitation, and America is france’s ally so they’d re helping. Understand now why Boko Haram is so formidable when they re about to be defeated the military bases in cameroon, Niger and chad give them more money or weapons and boom they attack again.

jl115:
the Nigerian army is larger in terms of men but lacks the quantity and quality of equipment that the SA army possess.

Which is better Kenyan or Nigerian

rvp2018:
Allianz Global Pension Report.
Kenya ranks 2nd after South Africa
South Africa (41st),
Kenya (55th)
Morocco (60th)


Nigeria 64th

Switching topics now, were talking about military

davefurn:
Kenya can't compare to Nigeria military wise both airforce, land and sea and Nigeria can't compare to South Africa military wise only in land forces that we will have a slight disadvantage due to our numbers

Same way South African military cannot compare to Egyptian military, Kenya should just accept the inferiority complex

gallivant:
Just post Amotekun, please.

Okay but just know that Kenya has less troops, less frigates, no destroyers, less jets, and much older and outdated bombing and artillery equipment than the Nigerian military but anyway here are the images you have been begging for. Just so you know amotekun is not our military it is like a regional police outift.

Wuoche:
You need more? KDF on mission

Stealing images from Syria to try and make it look like the Kenyan defense force is actually something, your navy and air force do not compare to that of Nigeria, and you images of frigates and destroyers are lies as well, Kenya does not have frigates that large, your navy barely has anything whilst Nigeria has inaugurated deep blue project, and has acquired three patrol ships and we are manufacturing another frigate something Kenya could only dream of we are also buying some frigates from netherlands and the uae, were also getting fighter jets from America and Pakistan 4th gen come on jl115 back me up on this Kenya’s military doesn’t compare to that of Nigeria and it’s a fact.

Only in Kenya, the corruption hub of Africa

Random images of The beautiful University of Lagos...a.ka UNILAG

Beautiful University, of a very high standard and there are many more like this while Kenya only has university of Nairobi we still have university of Ibadan, university of Nigeria, obafemi awolowo university etc, Kenya cannot compare

obaaderemi:
I think it's about time you began a blog with these Nigeria development news. I am serious. I wonder how you get to be so current on such affairs.

That’s measles or rubella or chickenpox, there is no medicine for it you need to get your child vaccinated against these disease, every single child gets it at some point in their life

Nigeria SAPZ project, Nigeria will soon be processing all of its agricultural raw materials right here in this very country, with a 500 million dollar loan from the afdb, and another 1.2 billion dollar loan from the world bank to mechanize farming with tractors and watering system. Nigeria will be making an extra 50 billion dollars from the agricultural material that would normally be wasted, and it will all but end food insecurity as well as create over 2.5 million jobs. Don’t be surprised if you find Nigerian tea, Nigerian juice, Nigerian rice etc in the next coming years inside of your local shop.

TayserMahri:
Respond to this simple question instead of juvenile gymnastics...

Which is more valuable per kilo? Tea or cashew/palmoil?

Palm oil seems for 2.50 whilst tea sells for 2.10 plus the palm oil market is much larger than the tea market, as a say if there was no palm oil being produced most processed foods would not be available, chocolates, biscuits, chicken, cakes, pies etc cannot be made without palm oil

TayserMahri:
The bottomline remains that palmoil is a cheap hunter gatherer crop @ .08 $ while tea is higher yield. No amount of gymnastics will change that.

No the bottom line remains that palm oil makes more money than tea

TayserMahri:
We have our own tea auction in Mombasa where the whole world comes to bid for our tea. We actually dictate the global prices because the international buyers desperately need to blend their low quality tea. So believe me when I tell you our tea fetches as much as 232 $ per KG at the Mombasa auction.

We don’t care about suctions we are talking about the standard international market price in that sense palm oil makes way more money and is way more expensive and palm oil is used for way more things than tea is used for, without palm oil there will be no Nutella

TayserMahri:
Feel bad for you bro...a kilo of palm oil is a meagre USD 0.8 while a kilo of tea is a whopping USD 232. Less than a dollar for palm oil.

Yet the Kenyan tea farmers earn mere cents from the apparent 232 dollar per kilo tea market, and that doesn’t add up because Kenya produced 440 million kilograms of tea, if each kilogram is 232 dollars than Kenya would be making 102 billion dollars from tea alone so please stop with your lies and back them up with facts. Yes tea makes way more money than palm oil doesn’t it

Norahsthought:
How would you solve the power issue?

In fact, let me paint you a picture. You want to solve the power issue, which is very costly. Nigeria produces less than 4,000MW and only 60% of the 200m people are connected to electricity.

Another challenge is Liquidity crunch where electricity charges to customers do not reflect the cost of generation, transmission, and distribution. Nigerians don't like to pay for things and complain when the price seems high

Nigeria produces 11000MW but has no way to evacuate the power

Eko Atlantic is moving along well, here is the marina

Austine1212:
Your figures and share don't make sense to me

Rwanda?

Please do check again something does not add up

He claims thst Kenya made 1.5 billion dollars from flowers but they only made 700 million dollars, they are the fourth argent producer and they will never catch up to netherlands, because netherlands has a better yield capacity and farming techniques then Kenya
