Shaytun:
Lol.

Nigeria is not competing with Ghana for competition in west Africa, that’s ridiculous.

The only country with significant influence in west Africa after Nigeria is good ole France.

Which irks the living day light out of me!

We're surrounded by chuckleheaded humans unfortunately.

Justnotyou:
Alot of people still don't get this, I think it's part of the reason why it's difficult to convince Kikuyu1 that BANTU, igbo, & Yoruba are all related ethnolinguistic divisions. They're all basically languages similar to how Anglo-phones, us included, hold conversations through writing in a western germanic language that's Indo-European despite the fact that we might not always look like the classical English phenotype or share any direct lineages with them.

Phenotypically igbos might resemble Bantus, linguistically they are as close to bantus as they're to the fulanis. & all these groups despite their genotype & phenotype would still be classified as being Niger-Congo.

I agree they're all related even if it's the minutest trait and the emboldened text gives a better understanding. Think I grasp what you mean now.

kikuyu1:
All basically true but its at LEAST mildly disturbing the OP posted all those posts himself within a couple of hours!?

Whoever is behind that moniker is one creepy person.

He gets banned repeatedly but comes out stronger with even more info.

I won't lie I have second thoughts anytime I want to mention him.

TayserMahrii:
Yet Kikuyu has videos to back it up


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEE8x3kg5b0

LOL!

Justnotyou:
Yoruba's aren't bantu,

Yep it's been clarified

Justnotyou:
Igbos as well aren't bantu but all these three groups are Niger-Congo & genetically close as supported by their phylogenetic tree.

There's just this thing with the igbo's... theres a very real resemblance with the Zulu tribe.
They look a lot alike...and they make up about 90% of all Nigerians there.

obaaderemi:
Noooo! Yorubas and Igbos are not Bantus. But igbos are believed to be pro- Bantu.
The Bantus gene can be found in people around Jos and Benue. In fact these people as far back as around 500bc started working with iron. They are the forefathers of the Bantus in East Africa, according to many experts. This makes Kikuyu 1 very angry. He would rather his forefathers migrated from hell than from West Africa.

Lol! Now I get the picture.

Now that you've said this i think it all makes sense now cos if you look closely Nigerians from the middle belt region look a lot like east africans.
Places like plateau,taraba,benue et al.

jln115:
I gave you a fvcking scientific paper on why HIV was so prevalent in SA.... However you dismissed it claiming it was some white cover up

I'd like to see the source.

obaaderemi:
I knew the bolded is something that gives you sleepless nights.

But are Yoruba's bantus?

I believe it should be the South East no?

Igbos have a lot in common with south Africans.

Saddamochieng00:
Are you also a laatjie cause you sound like one idiot You know I can wire you some mulla so you can get yourself some ashawo pussy You'll stop disturbing us for once

Why TF did this nigga call me an idiot?
Are you always this fervid?
You're really too shallow to pass as an adult.

Saddamochieng00:
But that's so stupid because that phase that they are skipping right now be sure that they'll be going through it in their working years? And that will be a huge disaster dude.

They should direct their energy on teen stuff not some bullcrap online. That's why you have a whole bunch of insecure people because they never discovered themselves during teen.

LOL!
so having active socials as a teen is a straight road to insecurity??
That's some outright rightist addleheaded bunk!
Now I know your ideology bias.

How TF do you explain the European teenagers then?
Most of them are smarter than you. And That's on God!

Don't know if you're active there but reddit and quora are filled with as much teens and pre teens as there are adults.
I've had enough first hand e-conversations with witty teens to know you deduced this on impulse.

Saddamochieng00:
Hey men what's up with this laatjies . You want to mean that Nigerian teenagers have no social life that they spend all of their teen years on NL arguing over crap.

Please Put your teen years into some good use....pick a book and read or go get yourselves some pussy.

Lol.
That is probably the best thing to happen to Nigeria.
Simply means a conscious generation isn't far off. Easy.

As a Kenyan you might not be used to this.

Saddamochieng00:
Another laatjie....we have been wasting our energy arguing with kindergarten kids

At your age I was busy looking for pussy kid

LOL!
Another day, another slack nigga

Kikuyu1i think you'll have a swell read!

Mkenya2019:
Samrobo - bring your exercise book here - and copy the English. The substance is beyond you.

What the fúck is this even supposed to mean?

It's very obvious you understand little English now.

So the kikuyu is now your sacred lamb where every thing he says is the gospel truth?

*Scoffs in disbelief!

vankelvin:
And do you know the future of your country's currency?
Have you also thought of the depreciation rate of your country's currency?
How is a Dollar / Cedi to your currency?

Our currency doesn't have a very bright future on the short term but what I can tell you for free is that we weren't re-denominated in 2007.
Also what I can tell you for free is that our currency isn't just strong on paper like the cedi.
I can also tell you that the naira brings a lot more value to the table than the Ghanaian cedi.
We could also talk about how the cedi makes basic stuff in Ghana expensive.

You satisfied?

vankelvin:
Always poking your nose into something that has nothing to do with you?

Look who's talking!
You don't just this exact thing here the last 12 or more pages so yes it is my concern!

Also I don't like seeing my Ghanaian people Paying extremel prices for basic stuff.

Torture2020:
Rubbish! Simple question, what is the value of the Cedi against the dollar? And what is the value of the naira against the dollar? Isn’t that supposed to be a straight, simple question? But your olodo head will not allow you to reason like a normal human being.

So,instead, you have to write a thesis about the Cedis. I pity you mudder fuggerz. If say na exam, you will score zero for stvpidly going completely off the mark. If you want to talk about the Ghanaian currency and how it has fared over the years, then open a different discussion.

lol...you need to bring your cedis to Nigeria first before you understand fully what I'm saying...hell you could be another ignorant Ghanaian (you'll be joining the long line of them though...nothing surprising) who hasn't left Kumasi in his life.

nigga I'm talking based on first hand information and experience.
the naira has more value than the cedi so whether a cedi to naira is .0005 to 8000 the Naira is still valuable!
why do you think Nigerians are plenty in Ghana?
you think Ghana is the land of 'flowing milk and honey' ??
No bro!...far from it!
Nigerian business men have just seen a place to get hard currency with some form of semblance to the dollar to remit back home...simple!

the money they make in Ghana does A LOT IN NIGERIA but can barely afford anything in Ghana!

your currency is playing you people HARRRRD!

OPEN YOUR EYES FAM!
and also I'm not trolling you, I'm just telling you to always resist that urge to latch on the naira vs cedi exchange rate pov.

it always ends in tears.

Torture2020:
If I were you,huh? I will be worried about your own country’s generator-powered economy. Currently in recession. According to your Vice President, more than 30 million jobs will be lost in your country due to covid 19. In fact, by the time covid 19 finishes with your country, nobody will recognize that zoo again poverty capital
Do you even know the future of your country

wow....very Rich analysis from our ghanaian Moody's representative!

boy when you troll Nigeria with your 'generator powered economy' tag please highlight how big that economy is.


and lastly, there is no country that wouldn't feel the covid-19 crunch...the US lost over 20million jobs in 3 months nigga!!!

or is Ghana immune to the global economic slowdown?

Justnotyou:
from before July I suspect huh... Well we're in July & Lagos nominal gdp has yet to come close to half of Kenya's. Even when we compare the gdp ppp's like most of you guys prefer it's not any better.

I suggest you get yourself up to speed. Economy isn't necessarily pegged solely on gdp.

well mate what then are the GDP figures?

rvp2018:
Nonsense. Lagos state GDP is 33B dollars - including Lagos Slumpolis - even with cookery that is Nigeria's GDP - according to these guys - Lagos State GDP is about 50B as of 2017
https://medium.com/kingmakers/how-we-projected-the-gdp-for-states-in-nigeria-5ccc5e2c85f7

we're going by posts now?...lol.
well I could do that too.

the $33bn on on Wikipedia is from 10 years ago.

this is a 2016 report >>> https://qz.com/africa/676819/lagos-is-africas-7th-largest-economy-and-is-about-to-get-bigger-with-its-first-oil-finds/

at least this should pass since we're posting this blog posts right?

Dlonra:
Kenya Houses the Largest IDP Camps in Africa & borders one of the most dangerous countries in Africa but still allow them to coexist in Kenya.

refugees are different from free roaming foreigners.
it's almost like you're obligated to do it cos most of the humanitarian agencies are sited there.
Nigeria is probably the worst positioned country in Africa too. we are surrounded entirely by french colonies who always subtly undermine Nigerian efforts. Nigeria handles more diplomatic brouhaha than most african countries too.

Dlonra:
When Nairobi is Bombed by extremists from Somalia Kenyans don't go killing Somalis.

at least I can give you that.
also many Boko Haram members are chadians and Nigeriens.

Dlonra:
We've got one of the Most diverse African Population. We've also got Nigerians & a Nigerian neighborhood called Roysambu.

Nigeria probably has a migration issue that we literally don't know.
I see east africans in eat africa.
a Kenyan family came to my neighbors house for Christmas holidays 4 years ago.
foreigner numbers aren't just pronounced cos we're still overwhelmed by our large population and no one would notice any foreigner that isn't white.

Justnotyou:
Nope, heard jln115 claiming so, you're also well informed on it so why don't you help me out with a source, maybe I can get in on this new realization.

ok I'll put it in the simplest of terms cos I see you're rearing to go.

GDP is obviously the value of all goods and services produced within the borders of a State right? ok cool.

Kenya's GDP >>> $89bn (pop. 51m)
Lagos GDP >>> $130bn (pop. 20m)

does this shorten your understanding curve?

Torture2020:
Gbam! How much is a Cedi to a Dollar, and how much is one Naira to the dollar? All this talk of Re domination and the rest is just plain stvpid.

brozay you seem not to grasp a thing in this argument.
what is the depreciation rate of the dollar to cedi?

do you know what it means for your currency to have depreciated at this extreme rate since 2007 when it was just re-denominated?

do you even know the future of the cedi?
it's on a continuous downward trajectory.

you must be kidding fam.

I'll let this die here after this. no time for this back and forth.

rvp20182:
Nairobi city = Nairobi County = boundaries defined in 1962. This was due to the 2010 constitutional impasse when it was decided that boundaries of counties revert back to 1963.

Nairobi Metro as defined by gov - is huge. Nairobi has expanded into a metro covering 4 counties. The built-up area is in my view 6000km sq...

Tatu city is not in Nairobi - but in the metro. The same with Nortland and Konza. The same with 2 River malls and many other things.

there's a misunderstanding my man.
I know Nairobi has a huge land mass.

but what I'm saying is your developed areas are really really really small.
that explains why it's always the same pictures we see EVERY FÚCKING WEEK!
the same ol' CBD.

that's what all Nigerians here think and rightly so.

rvp20182:
We have shown you Nairobi including it's metro. And all we get are the usual - pick the few slums that make 2% of Nairobi built up area. Next run to the race bla bla. Next run to the size...when evidence of Nairobi expanding nearly 60Kms in all directions abound.

nigga you say evidence?? LOL!!
it's not big..just admit it..that's not to much a pill to swallow.
all your pictures stylishly edge the slums out.
even with your slums in the picture, the under development in Nairobi is still gaping.

well time will tell if Nairobi is truly expanding cos as it is, it's still probably not bigger than the biggest local government area in Lagos which is alimosho.

rvp20182:
Voodoo economic. What productivity do you want in Mombasa - when it also industrial and transport hub for the entire region to Congo and South Sudan. Does Mombasa port handle more cargo than Lagos two ports? Railways. Mombasa has an international airport. It has international tourist resorts.

Now tell us what economic activities are there in Abuja! Apart from gov offices?

The uyo and Ibandans - those are nonsense.

Kenya flexing on other east african countries.
my guy all that starts and ends within east african borders. those Sudan is landlocked and congo is almost landlocked. if Tanzania becomes serious they'll take that privilege from you man.

[quote author=rvp20182 post=91256561
As for Nairobi - you cannot compete with even worst parts of Nairobi.

Leave alone Nairobi Metro

This sure look like 5 football fields...


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3NIgWNh1Vs[/quote]you should know i was being ironical but you also should know that your urban Nairobi is very tiny.
we've also seen the worst of Nairobi. in case you don't know, Twitter is a really good place to go Nairobi image shopping and I've seen quite a lot of the Nairobi you never post here.

if it's not Westlands, it's cbd.... what else?
nothing as usual.

Justnotyou:
Is.... What?

...is better economically my east african brother.
weren't you in on that info?

vankelvin:
Your responds to my tweet shows the usual bad fate which characterizes nigerians.
Your colleague claims Ghanaian's run to nigeria ''in times of trouble'', and I asked him to proof when such thing happened, then you come with these flimsy excuses... Those who liked your post are your fellow block headed ones.

Why don't you tell us ''when''? ''and where in nigeria''? Ghanaian's run to ''in times of trouble

young man, first of, I didn't see no tweet of yours. lol!
ok bloke, did you see me acknowledge that?
if you didn't see any text from me agreeing to Ghanaians running in 'times of trouble' or however you term it then don't don't dive foot deep in your feelings mate.

vankelvin:
A certain Ghanaian was surprised to see nigerian's drinking soda? when was that? was it in the year 1892 that happened OR what?
Why can't you guys be original for once? Always lying to feel good? ''SODA'' that is even sold in common provision stores in Ghana? and you think a certain Ghanaian said that so its true? So so Pathetic.

this isn't even a sub and no it wasn't in 1892. .
I've heard from people visiting Ghana that things are on the high side there. and that covers soda too. I didn't increase the prices my west african brother.

vankelvin:
And its so strange for an educated person like you to say some Ghanaian said ''there are too many cars in nigeria'' than in Ghana, such a low excuse, with your over 210Million population, you expected Ghana to have more vehicles than nigeria (in terms of numbers)?.... some of you nigerian's are some weird human beings.

lol bro...dont get mad at me. I'm telling you what she said. on God.
if she said otherwise I wouldn't type all this bro. c'mon!
I'm not weird na.

vankelvin:
Then you brought in Ghana Cedi to Naira and there are a lot of Ghanaian's in nigeriaso they came there because ''it was in time of troubles?? Ns3mfoo b3n koraa nso ni?

now this is where the tweet mix up is my friend.
thing is, over time I have seen a lot of Ghanaians tweeting about the Nigerian naira compared to the cedi. they always seem to think they're taking big digs at Nigeria.

so I just tell them you can't take a currency that has been re-denominated thrice and has depreciated by 80% since 2007 when it was just re-denominated.
that's what I tell'em.

so you being a Ghanaian always eager to troll Nigerians, I felt you would follow the same line of thought and thought to myself 'why not kill 2 birds with one stone?'

pretty smart right?

Baliv254:
let em come i have plenty, plenty of content
they have been posting shit about kenya whenever they cant show their best for a long time thinking they are shitless
we can find shit about any country on earth
they need to learn whenever they loose arguments they turn to shit posting, anyone can shit post too

even your friend admitted to starting it.
you forgotten how your friend uploaded a picture of Lagos calling it a 'slum cbd' ?

a 20 year old picture?
you deserve any smoke you get man.

rvp20182:
Complete NONSENSE. Ibanda economical is better than Mombasa .Keep repeating nonsense - but you fail simple evidence test.

we're not in competition dude.
whats inside a consumer and hospitality economy?
countless rows of hospitality oriented businesses.
really no productive value. just restaurants, hotels, resorts, shops and open air markets.
that's all there is to Mombasa and you know it.

rvp20182:
Abuja more beautiful than Nairobi.

haven't you seen enough videos and pictures?

rvp20182:
You're crazy. Lagos having more GDP than Kenya

lol...so you're disputing this now?
have you updated your 2020 Lagos economic outlook?

rvp20182:
Show me anything close to this in Abuja or Lagos or the entire Sub-sahara Africa outside South Africa.

Baliv254:
those images are fresh and neeew
my goodness the quality of so called roads in Nigeria
2020

you could continue posting pictures of different places in Nigeria.
you of course know the people who would help you with Nairobi pictures are not far off. they'll be here soon...I really don't have that time now.

by the way...are the other parts of Kenya ghost towns?
we hardly hear anything from those sides.
or there's just mombasa and Nairobi?

rvp20182:
It goes like this Nairobi, Lagos (only because it's huge), Mombasa, Abuja.

Lagos is not huge my friend.
the population is.
Lagos economy compared to the kenyan economy is......well you know that already.
Abuja is more beautiful ( like light yearssssss more beautiful) than Nairobi. it's probably more eco friendly too.
Abuja and Mombasa shouldn't be stringed in one sentence.

rvp20182:
y..then rest of your slumpolis. Mombasa can never be compared to Ibandan...in anything.

Mombasa is probably better planned than ibadan.
it looks more beautiful too but that's it.
Ibadan is economically better placed than Mombasa.[/quote]
