If President Buhari is to visit /commission schools across the whole of Nigeria tell me what else will his government achieve? These are critical times where a lot has to be put in place considering the current economic recession we're headed to with failed brakes and the speed with which this is happening. Very soon a lot of other state will be celebrating creation how many will he attend? So as to balance equation?

1. PMB is not traveling all over the country to commission schools so what's your point?

2. Critical times is when Governments and leaders like Aregbeshola invest and spends on infrastructures to create jobs and pump money into the economy, not the other way around. We won't be having hard times today if other governors are like Aregbeshola spending on infrastructures and creating jobs.

3. PMB has every right to celebrate with every Nigerian and the commander in chief can go to any part of Nigeria to commissione any progress and development, you don't get to dictate to the commander in chief.

4. Why you people hate progress and development so much beats me..


5. You people go from place to place crying over what you really should be commending, but hate and bigotry wont let you.

6. You are used to lazy and unproductive leaders who sits on your money instead of using it to benefit you and your future generations like Aregbeshola is doing.

7. The lazy ones who are stealing your money and not doing anything with it are your heroes, but the ones doing something good with your money is who you hate.


Please face your village where they are not doing anything with your money.

[size=15pt]Typical ramblings of a pained Zombie who will refuse to see the hunger under his nose but quick to point fingers at other people.

Kenya took Nigeria to the cleaners with honest realistic truth.

Get with it already [/size]

Only people with zero sense of country, low self esteem, lack of self worth, lack of identity and sense of belonging peddle and think other people and country that's really below them is better than their own country..


Your problem is a personal problem and self inadequacies which has nothing to do with Nigeria..

I just wonder why you people are not packing your load and moving to better Kenya instead of boring us with your lame and loathing nonsense..

bayelsa1son:
i can see u will have already taken this as one of ur oga achievements clap for ur self

And what's your own achievement? Running around the internet to let the world know how much you hate and despise your own country and wear it like a badge of honor?


How sad and pathetic can you people be..

But in Tomi Davies’ and Kirsten Buch’s opinion, attention is suddenly shifting from those two competitors up there to Lagos. Lagos is now the focus of start-up and ICT attention in Africa with the arrival of AngelFairWestAfrica and the soon-to-be-launched 88Mph accelerator unit.

While Kenya may have had the first incubator space outside of South Africa and there is a constant stream of start-ups getting profiled from there, a Nigerian probably wrote the manual on self-promotion. It has been a struggle overcoming the stereotypical reputation that doing business in Nigeria and Lagos got, but dare I say, Nigeria is steadily climbing out of that hole.

Lagos is developing an ICT-themed start-up ecosystem that is drawing international investment and has seen the launching of several incubators [iROKO’s Spark, IDEA, Rocket’s space and CcHub] and with a market big enough to make certain kinds of online plays and an estimated 700,000-1,000,000 broadband consumers in the city, Lagos is in the running.

Kirsten Buch, founder of 88Mph, says of his company “The plan was always to cover Africa and you can’t really say you’ve got African coverage, if you’re not in Nigeria… Kenya has been destroyed by the impact of NGO funding. On the media side, it’s been well exposed and there’s a lot on the surface. Real substance, companies that are successful? There’s not a lot. The Kenyan business community have also become discouraged by that…The bigger, serious investors lean more towards Nigeria. It’s mostly about market size. You can scale something here.”


http://techcabal.com/2014/05/12/ict-face-off-lagos-vs-kenya-vs-south-africa/

That's TechCabal clearly saying Lagos Nigeria is the place to be in terms of ICT and not kenya so what's the ignorant nonsense about Nigeria is struggling in ICT? What a load of ignorant rubbish...

Pay strong attention to the red highlight about Kenya ICT.

A lot of ICT noise in Kenya, but not a lot of success or successful ICT businesses.

Nigeria's ICT businesses are doing great hence global attention from the likes of Facebook investing in our ICT instead of Kenya.

TonyeBarcanista:
While Nigerians have always pride in the self titled "African Giant" rhetoric, facts on ground shows otherwise. Though we generate more revenue than Kenya, which is 70% due to the gift of nature under our soil(Petrodollars), Nigerians still lag behind greatly in basic things when compared to the East African giant.

This is just brazen ignorance and lack of any knowledge and understanding about your own country.

Lagos's GDP alone which is an ordinary state in Nigeria IS $131 Billion while Kenya's entire GDP is meager $63

And Lagos's GDP is almost free of oil money and can function easily without oil money

Lagos economy is the 7th largest in Africa, larger than 40 African countries economy so what's the meaning of the weak, inaccurate and baseless rubbish.


Lagos alone can buy and sell the whole of kENYA

Kenya, a country that lags behind an ordinary state is better than Nigeria economically?

Please confine such jokes to yourself..

According to 2015 data from World Health Organisation, Nigeria's male and female life expectancy are 52years and 56 years respectively, meaning an average Nigerian is expected to die before he/she turns 60. Meanwhile, the expectancy for Kenyan male and female are 61 and 66 years respectively. Similarly, while Nigeria has the 10th highest infant mortality rate worldwide with average 72 deaths per 1,000 birth, Kenya's infant mortality rate is rated 52nd in the world with average 32 deaths per 1,000 births. This means it is safer to give birth in Kenya than in Nigeria, and an average Kenyan living in Kenya is expected to live longer than an average Nigerian living in Nigeria.

Cuba has better life expectancy than the United States, but does it mean Cuba is better than the US? Are Cubans still not dying trying to cross the ocean to seek a better life in the US?

This is the lamest and thoughtless rubbish on NL in a long long time..

Though Nigeria has more tourism potential than Kenya, but Kenya is one of the choice destination for vacation in West Africa. While Nigeria managed to rake in $601 million as Tourism receipt(Revenue) in 2014, Kenya raked in $1.833 billion in the same year. Nigeria can't even boast of a National carrier meanwhile Kenya Airways, the National Carrier of Kenya boasts of 45 Aircrafts in their fleet with 4,000 workforce strength. In addition, Kenya Airways is reputed to be one of the best in Africa.

Of what relevance is this? The fact that they have a National airline and tourism means they are better?

We have 2 deep seaports under construction

We have $15 billion largest single refinery in the world under construction, largest petrochemical plant in Africa under construction, largest fertilizer plant, largest gas plant with 1000km under sub gas pipeline, we have thousands of KM rails system under construction or about to start.

Our $12 billion coastal rail system is the largest public works in Africa

Yes we have economic challenges, but Kenya is not anywhere close to even our shoes, not in a million years.



Should we start listing what we have that they don't have and can never have in a million years?

Lame argument indeed. There are better countries all over the world without National airline and tourism like Kenya, but does it mean kenya is better than them?

In Africa, Kenya is the leader of Mobile money. Nigeria is still still battling to get it right in the ICT sector with poor infrastructure, lack of power, lack of political will, and fantastically corruption.

So what they have mobile money? What's this got to do with Nigeria?

Nigeria remains the largest E-commerce economy in Africa, something Kenya can not smell in many many decades to come.

Nigeria is far ahead of kenya in ICT so where is your Nigeria struggling from?

The most powerful ICT innovations in Africa emanated from Nigerians and created by Nigerians.

What are the ground breaking ICT innovations in Kenya?

We have eTranzact which is multi-channel electronic transaction switching and payment processing platform that already evolved into a multinational brand, rolling out products in 6 other countries including South Africa, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Cote d’Ivoire and United Kingdom


We have konga and Jumia, the largest ICT shopping platforms in Africa

We have PAGA, the largest mobile money operator in Africa

We have Wild Fusion, which the CEO Abasiama made Forbes‘ list of ‘Ten African Internet Millionaires to Watch’.

We have Mainstreet Technologies, developer of MainOne Cable, a submarine communications cable stretching from Portugal to South Africa with landings along the route in Accra, Ghana and Lagos, Nigeria.

We have Globacom

We have interswitch

We have Zinox

We have Gamsol

We have L5lab

We have Slot systems

Phase 3 Telecom

We have Computer warehouse group

We have HotelsNG

We have Wakanow

We have Anakle

We have Tsaobin

We have Courteville Business Solutions Plc


We have Jobberman, the largest ICT job recruitment platform in Africa, not Kenya

We have Iroko, Africa's NETFLIX and the largest entertainment streaming ICT platform in Africa, not Kenya

We have the largest ICT -E-commerce platforms in Africa, not Kenya

We command the largest ICT investments in Africa, not Kenya

Facebook CEO spent days in Nigeria and even returned to Nigeria to attend ICT events and dialogue with the Nigeria leadership, but he spent less than a day in Kenya.

Facebook and his wife's first ICT investment in AFRICA of $24 went to an ICT innovation company founded by a Nigerian and based in Lagos, Nigeria, not in Kenya.

We have the second or third largest movie production in the entire world, not Kenya

At present Nigeria is experiencing recession in her economy, one would expect Nigerians to shun frivolties and seek for ways to turn the recession to prosperity instead of wasting productive hours fighting our African brethren over irrelevances. Why would one who is rationing his/her phone battery life due to epileptic power supply still spend the little battery life s/he got through his/her generator to abuse someone in Nairobi who is neither rationing his/her phone battery life nor is depending on generating set for power? There is no trophy or reward for social media fight, Nigerians should stop sending the wrong image to the world that our greatness lies in social media wars.

Frivolities is you and your half baked take on your own country, a half baked thought that says Kenya is better than your own country when facts on the ground claims otherwise.

We compete with SA, not little Kenya that's way way below our scale across the board..


I don't know where you people get this mindless self hate, self loathing, country hating, country bashing and unpatriotic attitude from, but it reeks ignorance and zero knowledge about your own country.


What a sad shame...

Don't you ipobs say the same thing about Asiwaju every year, but he remains the greatest politician in Black Africa...


And sef, Akeredolu was his choice in the previous election and who says he's still not his choice? Simple reverse thinking and "B" move.

Let me just add a footnote here. For those who accuse people like me of hating their country or their race or tribe or any other stupid box they create by themselves to put you in: when you love something and wish for it to excel and that thing wilfully frustrates you, you would be the worst fool to join the delusion and say all is well. It is that stupidity that has perpetuated black man in the sorrows that have defined his existence.

Story, catch the next ekenedilishuku to kenya, we won't miss you and your kind. That's minus one dead weight we don't have to deal with..good riddance ..

blackprowler:
You ape, where do you know? Where have you been to and who have you met? A small rat like you but much much more influential and consequential in Nigeria is called Gbenga Sesan. His twitter handle is @gbengasesan. When he first visited Kenya, he screamed on twitter. He never believed Kenya was that modern because he's been fed the same kool-aid as the rest of you his whole life here. You're "competing" with South Africa? You're a fool. South Africa is Europe in Africa. You have NO CLUE! You think it is a Black-manged country? It is now certainly a Black-Mismanaged country. I HAVE LIVED IN SOUTH AFRICA! I've interacted with Kenyans there too. You don't know shit!

[/s]

Shut up...


All I see here is hate and bitterness barking like bingo. You can hate and shout all that rubbish till you die, Nigeria is still better than kenya a million times based on facts.

If kenya is better than Nigeria, then what are you and your hate mongering and self loathing losers doing in Nigeria?


Pack your shit and go to kenya....

[s]

blackprowler:
You're dumb without knowing it. I just described your type in my post. Go and check the world's human development indices of several world organisations monitoring these things. Your country has had free money almost its entire independence and you rank amongst the poorest countries in the world that never made a dollar from oil. You're like Goodluck Jonathan that says Nigeria is doing great because we have such and such number of private jets. NIGERIA IS A CASE OF HUMAN TRAGEDY!

[/s]


Go and check this and go and check that...This is what your shallow and ignorant kind spew when void of facts and inability to support your nonsense with facts. What stops you from posting your facts here?

If you are going to claim Kenya is better than Nigeria, common sense dictates that you show us the facts you based your dumb and idiotic assertions on..


Please confine your ignorance to your fellow shallow and low intellect followers..


Inferiority complex and unpatriotic ipob losers feeling funky..

[s]

blackprowler:
As a Nigerian, I say Kenya is a far better country than Nigeria. Only a fool like Fani-Kayode and so many others like him don't know that. In all aspects, by the way. No free lectures; go and research yourselves. I would rather be a Kenyan anyday than be a Nigerian. Nigeria is particularly a disgrace to Africa and the black race in general and nothing exemplifies this more than the fact that they don't even realise it!

[/s]


We know you hate Nigeria and you go from thread to thread and forum to forum to scream and yell that rubbish doesn't mean Kenya is anywhere close to Nigeria across the because stats and facts doesn't say so.



All you and your kind can do is spew your ignorant nonsense, but never facts and realities..

Surprised to here PDP is still alive or even on life support, I thought it died with the otuoke dullard getting kicked back to his village..

CSTR2:
I doubt that Mr femi.
Their economy is more sophisticated, more diversified, though smaller. Their ICT sector is probably the best in Africa.
Their Currency is competing favourably with the dollar right now, and the standard of living is increasing steadily.
Nigeria is the complete opposite.

Entire Kenya's GDP is $63 billion

Lagos state GDP, an ordinary state in Nigeria is $131 Billion. That's almost 3 times more than Kenya's overall GDP

Lagos state alone has the 7th largest economy in Africa

We dominate in the music sector in Africa

We dominate in the movies sector in Africa

We have the largest entertainment streaming platform in Africa

We have the largest job recruitment platform in Africa

We are the recipient of the largest ICT investments in Africa

We have the largest e eCommerce transactions in Africa

We command more more global investments than any other country in Africa.

Facebook CEO's first ICT investment was in Nigeria and not Kenya

Kenya can not in a million years afford the dollar amount of major investments and developments going on in Nigeria right now.

We have 2 deep seaports under construction

We have $15 billion largest single refinery in the world under construction, largest petrochemical plant in Africa under construction, largest fertilizer plant, largest gas plant with 1000km under sub gas pipeline, we have thousands of KM rails system under construction or about to start.

Our $12 billion coastal rail system is the largest public works in Africa

Lagos alone can buy the whole of Kenya many times over

There are more industries in Ogun state than they have in the whole of Kenya

Our economy is the largest in Africa and we are not even competing with little kenya, we are competing with SA.

Yes we have economic challenges, but Kenya is not anywhere close to even our shoes, not in a million years.

I know we laugh and make fun of you ipobs stupidity, ignorance and lack of intelligence and I've laughed in this thread at the same stupidity, but you people need to slow down with your Nigeria hating and loathing obsession.

Lay off the ganja or just kill yourself if you hate your own country so much that you think every rif raf country is better than your own county...

No more ipob israelites, it's now ipob kenyatas....


Wen una go do exodus and just migrate to kenyata....beasts of no nation..

GenBloodykiIler:
agreed and at this point even the smallest country in Africa will defeat Nigeria in such mess
no thanks to Buhari nepotism and tribalism.
see before such things like this and football are most factors that unites Nigerians that made Nigeria invisible then but today even in football sef you'll see someone staking his money against Nigeria when those days you dare not praise an opponent player playing against Nigeria in a viewing centers or you'll recieve a mass beating.
facts is that Nigeria has expired

So when are you ipobs going o carry load go kenyata?

Silkmoth33:
How does this change the fact that u r in a recession and kenya or Ghana is not!

And what's recession got to do with topic? Or inability to read, comprehend and follow simple internet discussion is one of your many detrimental problems?


Sucks to be you losers for sure...

Silkmoth33:
Tell that to ur superamacist cousins.

Tell that to your self loathing, self hating, country hating and unpatriotic low self esteem brothers, sisters and villagers.


I just wonder why you losers haven't packed your bags and head to kenya...

ipobs say they are the smartest black african, now they are admitting that common kenya is even better than them....


Confused loonies with zero sense of identity, zero sense of country, zero sense of belonging and self worth...

They are going to go berserk and attack you like village bingo..


They hate Nigeria so much that they think even somalia is better than Nigeria...

Jumia and kong[/b]a have been reduced to selling phone casing instead of the real phone. = Importers can't import with buhari dollar exchange rate.

[b]Printivo with the Buhari economy people are no longer printing cards for elaborate parties, wedding, businesses are shutting down so why print cards.

Showroom.ng = dead. Lifemate , Alibert and co, can't import furniture in this Buhari economy.
So which tech companies do you want to point out for me and I will tell you the date of their funeral, thanks to sai baba economy.
Kenyans are smart people they have a 21st century President, not a grand Pa sitting in aso Rock doing nothing. So Kenyans have the right to overtake us as they've done already. It will take us 5 to 6 years to play catch-up that's after the Grandpa is remove. So for now stop deceiving your self. And face the reality you people brought to us. Zombie

What's this unintelligent ramblings got to do with ICT in Nigeria..


If you hate your country so much and if Kenya have overtaken Nigeria so why not shut your mouth and pack your load to Kenya and live the good life in Kenya..



Silly ipobs

Silkmoth33:
You also have the superiority complex as u think u r superior to ur fellow African. This is what kills you.

Equating facts about your own country with superiority complex sounds shallow, ignorant and unintelligent.


Lack of pride and hate for your country is what's killing you and your kind.

http://qz.com/708501/mark-zuckerbergs-foundation-is-investing-millions-in-a-company-that-trains-coders-in-africa/

1. Andela is a Nigerian ICT company and not a Kenyan company

2. Andela was co founded by a Nigerian with zero Kenyan founder and impute

3.Andela is based in Lagos Nigeria and not in Kenya, they only have a branch office in Kenya

4. Facebook CEO gave the money to Andela based in Lagos, a Nigerian company with branch office in Kenya, not a Kenyan company with branch office in Nigeria.


Learn how to read and comprehend.


Lack of patriotic spirit is taking away your own country's achievements and fruit of labor to give to another country that's not better than you.

Your hatred and bitterness for your own country is too blinding and destructive for you and your below par intellectual formation.


Self hate kills..

1. You ignorantly lied that the minister of communication is in charge of our ICT and you also follishly supported the ignorant op regarding that fact and I proved you all wrong by posting the profile and picture of the person in charge of Nigeria's ICT

2.. I've posted article by TechCabal stating that Nigeria is the place to be when it comes to ICT and not Kenya. The article also says Kenya ICT businesses are not successful.

3. Your only claim to Kenya's ICT is some silly sim money nonsense that means nothing since Nigeria is still the largest e-commerce country in Nigeria..


4. We are number 1 in entertainment

5. We have IROK online entertainment platform which is the NETFLIX of Africa and the largest movie and video streaming platform in Africa

6. We have Jobberman which is the largest JOB recruitment platform in Africa

7. We have the largest online shopping platforms in Africa

8. Nigeria commands the largest ICT investments in Africa

9. Facebook founder and CEO's first investment $24 million in Africa went to Andela, a Nigeria ICT company and not Kenya

10. Again, all you keep spewing is the same kenya sim card money rubbish and nothing more...
