Eish ,this pummelling is still going on ?

I left when it was 64 pages long now its looking like the once never ending Iran-Iraq war.

LePrezident:
Before Gej there have been several African leaders who handed over power when their parties lost. E.g Jerry Rawlings of Ghana, Daniel Arap Moi of Kenya and others.

African leaders should serve only two terms - the 1st term in office and the 2nd term in jail.... for all the poverty,corruption ,waste and abuse they've presided over in the last 50yrs.

Don't you think so?

AfroCircus:
About 80% of Nairobi cbd and 90% of the rest of the city was planned and built from the late 60s to mid 80s after independence, by Kenyan technocrats fresh from learning abroad. The Nairobi colonialists left and it's plan was a small and fledgling town

That's Abuja for you....with such figures its doing rather well ,don't you think?

Pavore9:
Me self am thinking of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro but l no get liver whenever l drive pass it!

Maybe you should try and practice with Mt Longonot 1st ,its closer and you don't need climbing gear exept right clothing and shoes...but be warned its a rugged climb.

Hahaha , when a slum part of Abuja doesn't suit your tastes and image ...its NOT part of Abuja (its the "outskirts" you say)


But when its a swanky place outside then ITS PART OF ABUJA... and you call it "Abuja surburbs" different standards and definitions to escape hard realities.

Henrydone:
Trying to play smart,that zuma rock located in minna not abuja, you have no point.

Just keep lying and living in denial -THAT IS ABUJA and no amount of denial will change that ugly fact.

Henrydone:
That palms mall not paragon or whatever,and looking at the bottom of the photo all i c is black sters maybe u should repost the actual photo and be factual.

Since you bold faced liars keep saying i'm lying i'll let the hard facts do the talkin.

Keep fabricating story

Johannesburg best Africa city
Lagos 2nd best city in Africa

2nd best ,yeah right .Your criteria and standards are laughable.

forgiveness:
There is difference between FCT and Abuja.

FCT is Federal Capital Territory while Abuja is just like a state.

Those pictures are definitely Abuja and not FCT.

Lol ,whenever you folks get caught pants down you always hide behind technicalities and other grudging criteria.So Mercer consultants,PWC and even your newsmedia are lying?

NairobiWalker:
Thank you.....he's posted that link a million times when there are thousands of other sources placing Nairobi ahead of Lagos in beauty, quality of life, planning, tourism, good place to live etc.

Thats the thing they can't accept ,these folks just wanna go by their own Nigerian-made criteria and parameters.Even these Mercer professionals placed Abuja and Lagos in bottom 20 cities in their detailed worldwide survey.

4 countries that are landlocked. It's a case of necessity on their part but a case of opportunities on Kenya part.

I am not one of those who argue incessantly about GDP because..... neither do I mock small countries.

Your are mistaken.

Maybe you're the exception but still...

Oxtonguy:
Zero from Abuja,two from Lagos,eight from Nairobi,nairobi almost chattels half of Africa slum,you've informed me with that link what a disgrace for Nairobi

Yeah,yeah ,Tell the whole world this is a lie about Abuja.

Oxtonguy:
You are such a gullible,what evidence does bifwoli have to prove me wrong you guy makes sick claim,calling photos I personally took in Ibadan Indonesia,the lie is just too pellucid.Kenya Nairalander are lies.Desperate to change the unchangable.

That photo is Indonesia and its where Paragon Malls originates in Asia.They have branches in Indonesia and Thailand too and if you care to look closely at the bottom of that photo you even see Asian looking shoppers.

Oxtonguy:
Nairobi has slums even more than double of Lagos,Abuja has none.The difference between Nairobi and Abuja is crystal clear

Yeah right, Kubwa and Nyanya in Abuja (amonst others) are not slum areas right?

You folks just tell bold lies left and right.

forgiveness:
No 1, you may be right if Kenya has continuous power supply.

2, Nigeria port is the 4th busiest and it is meant for only Nigerians while Kenya is the second busiest because it is used by four countries. Note; we have many ports and we are building 4 more ports.

3, you're right but we also have airlines privately owned by Nigerians and they ply Europe, Africa and America.

4, you are right, but we have two in top 20 Universities in Africa while Kenya has only one.

5, na God create dis one na, nobi Kenya na. I mean beaches. Please, give me a link to prove Kenya has one of the best hotels in Africa.

6, hmm! Lagos, Abuja, Calabar, Port Harcourt and Enugu are very beautiful cities. How many beautiful cities do you have? I will post pictures tomorrow. Nigeria has cities with highrise than Kenya.


7,

On point #2 even if that were the case the port is used by 4 countries isn't that an edge over Nigeria? Afterall you folks argue incessantly about your bigger GDP ,big population and constantly mocking "small countries" -its a harsh verdict over such shallow arguments.

Oxtonguy:
My home town is even better

Akure 15 largest in Nigeria

AKURE

Let me get this right , so your proud hometown is 90% just roads? Only one building there and i highly doubt those domes in the 1st pic are actually Nigeria.You folks keep lying and in some instances posting mere building renders (buildings that actually don't yet exist)

Oxtonguy:
Shopping malls in Ibadan

Lol, this is truly laughable .Nigerian malls dominated by South African retail chains of Shoprite,Cash "N" Carry and Mr Price- that tells you how Nigeria is underdeveloped in this industry.

And please DON"T TRY TO FOOL US ,the last picture there is actually a mall in Indonesia called Paragon Mall.We've caught lying about Bonny island,lying about generating 10k meagwatts and now this- it shows how constantly lying and truly desperate you folks are.

wristbangle:
Reading some hilarious comments here

Surprised no one lists love and kindness,wisdom and being family values oriented.

Shows you how much people are empty these days.

highheybee:
Facts
Apple will never compare itself with tecno
Nor will Samsung compares itself with OnePlus...it's the other way round
Because both tecno and OnePlus are trying to beat those guys and they still can't
That's why I only gave you links of Abuja and Lagos pictures Cox it's hell lol of a work for me posting pictures
If you really are better than Nigeria...you won't be showing us pictures of your most beautiful cities...it's a show of inferiority from someone that's trying to make a name for itself


Nnamdi Azikiwe library is the biggest in West Africa and one of the Biggest in subharahan Africa

Clearly your treasured "Apple phone" isn't even an Apple, its more like a Nokia of the 90s.Blah,blah,blah but the metrics,thet stats and all the outside independent ratings think otherwise.How do you explain the above if you're so superb?

ritababe:
we are talking about Lagos GDP if higher than Durban or not, and yes it is

You folks have an obsession with GDP but it actually only makes you look worse.

Your Lagos poverty level is higher,your access to water is sporadic,the sanitation level is wanting and the overall quality of life in Lagos is lower than Durban.Clearly that higher GDP isn't helping matters.

naijalander:
What I recall is proving to you how irrelevant Nakuru is to a great metropolis like Ibadan.

Nakuru is town, Ibadan is an entire city. Which was an empire until the early 1900s. Show some respect mehn.

Your definition is very flawed,an egotrip and misleading.Dadaab refugee camp is also called a city,Goma in DRC is also a city and Mogadishu is also a city.

A city is a large and permanent human settlement,its not necesarilly about buildings .

forgiveness:
You are right on one side but also wrong on the other side.

Who doesn't know Luxembourg? Who doesn't know London, Cape Town, Paris, Lagos, Abuja, Calabar, New York etcetera?

A city is known for good reasons or bad reasons. In this case the cities I listed are known for good reasons.

When it comes to Skyscrapercity, I frequently visit that site and I think Nigeria has more skyscraper projects than Kenya.

You may prove me wrong.

Dubai has more skyscrapers then London,does that mean life in UAE is better than in Britain? Kuala Lumpur has more skyscrapers than Oslo,Norway- does that mean life in Norway is crap compared to Malaysia? Sorry,but your argument is deeply flawed.

ritababe:
lol Lagos as a whole dgp exceed Kenya,.

Durban GDP is 69 billion dollar while Lagos is 131 billion dollar.
my friend go and read your book seems like am wasting my time with you.

You fail to say those are not the right figures anymore after the 50% devaluation of Nigerian Naira.You've padded the values ,that wasn't even the right value even before devaluation.
https://i.imgur.com/FeKzNyP.png

And how do you justify those numbers when UNDP says Nigeria's poverty rate is 62.6% ??

NairobiWalker:
I didn't say it's a world class city - it's actually crap compared to the likes of Singapore and Hong Kong but everyone who's visited Nairobi and Lagos will place Nairobi ahead of Lagos.

https://i.imgur.com/mwKZrAn.png

...and these professional analysts did just that.

MtuMsuper:
Many well to do kenyans also own homes and other properties in said places and elsewhere. I have no relations or friends in Kenya who frequent nigeria to enjoy its apparently better life. isn't that strange?

Lol ,it says a lot about his facts when the traffic is one way.Let him come back to make his case when South Africans,Ivorians ,Kenyans and Ghanaians are flocking there to go have a piece of this superior lifestyle.

Hbuyosh:
I have told u and I repeat, GDP and the GDP per capita is not a very credible method to determine the living standards of the people. If u hate that fact that much, u can go swallow a razor blade for all I care.

Its even more shameful to keep quoting these GDP figures ad nauseam yet their superior figures haven't translated into better quality of life with quite a number of areas actually showing lower socio-economic impact of that superior GDP.

Rwandese,Ghanaians and Kenyans don't have this type of GDP but many of their socio-economic indicators are much better.More bang for little $$$.

Godgay:
yes because there are 180 million people in Nigeria and 34m in Kenya compare individual regions in Nigeria especially the southern one's with a similar Kenya population I am tired of making this point don't qoute me again to this thread as if I don't have things to do.

Lol ,so just lets completely disregard northern Nigeria and just use the south cuz it does relatively well and lets use tiny Bonny island for comparisons cuz its run by foreign corporations.Your places are Nigerian only when its suitable?

You folks just love to use "good facts and good figures" selectively .You wanna claim parts of Nigeria only when it suits you and disregard huge integral parts of Nigeria cuz it won't help your skewed case.

chebeoc:
I don't have time for you again, tell me the population of primary school students in kenya and compare with population of same category in Nigeria. How many MWs of electricity kenya generate and compare it with Nigerian own. why are you confusing yourself with this percentage issue. If they pack all kenyans and put inside Nigeria and pack Nigerians to Kenya you don't know kenya will be one of the best country in the world?

Wow, you'll make Kenya the best country in the world yet you can't keep your lights on,can't run your refineries ,can't keep polio off Nigeria,can't keep stable Naira ,your literacy rate is much lower ,your life expectancy is lower,your HDI score is lower ,your maternal mortality rate is higher and your economy is less diversified.

Fix your house to exemplary world standards 1st before going to lecture your better off neighbor how run their clearly brighter place.Doctor please heal thyself 1st.

KwachImani:
Nigeria is 930 000 [/b]km squared Kenya is 585 000 km squared almost [b]600 000 km sq.

Now, how is that a mini state?.......Nigeria is only one and half times the size of Kenya.
Did you really attend even a primary school to begin with?

Whenever it suits some folks here they'll quote raw figures and numbers to justify their skewed viewpoint.Surely a 180m population and all its attendant catches will always give you lots of advantageous talking points and better raw numbers.

All that "bright picture" changes dramatically once you put in comparisons in percentages...and that commenter can't take that fact.

Anybaba:
A people are free to call themselves what they feel like. Americans say America is God's own country. South Africans describe their s as the rainbow nation. Nigeria describes itself as the Giant of Africa. Does it mean that they are no challenges? Certainly no. It is therefore hopeless to sit up on a derogatory campaign that shows hate and lack of proper self esteem. This unfortunate trend is seen all over the blogosphere. It either Kenyans are raising a hash tag to insult Nigerians or some blogger is writing about the Nigerian man. Why the negative fascination of Nigeria by Kenyans. If your Country is heaven, so what !!!

You're showing lots of hypocrisy.Tags like "common kenya" and "little country" plus "you're not in our league" and all the negative threads thrown here to paint other africans in bad light or "lesser than Nigerians" is just ok with you? You overlooked alot of trash coming from your own and always belittling other african nations runs thru this and other threads.

Qmerit:
disappointed can't figure out the name opppppppssssss

I'm disappointed in you.

Why are you guys always looking for a chance to trash the enterprising Igbos?

Why are so many Nigerian fleeing their motherland ?

We often hear it has a $400b economy so surely life in Nigeria must be sweet and citizens are well catered for.
