LAGOS INFRASTRUCTURE

Dude please stfu those are photos of buildings.Infrastucture is ,strictly speaking ,not photos of buildings or a city.

Infrastructure | Definition of Infrastructure by Merriam-Webster

The basic equipment and structures (such as roads and bridges,water systems,fiber optic lines,phone lines,airports) that are needed for a country, region, or organization to function properly.

naijalander:
what is your proof that the rest of them are not liveable?

Do people not reside in these cities?

And yes they are industrialized, leave sentiments aside.

Thats a big lie about "industrialized cities" coz you know very well Nigeria is one of the least diversified economies.You guys import lots of finished goods even the basics.

Henrydone:
Cc city's with highest purchasing power (consumer spending). 3 Nigeria city 1 Kenya city

Dude stop embarrassing yourself you clearly can't read.

The graph and title clearly states "FASTEST GROWING" and not your own ego inspired "highest purchasing power" designed to sooth your ego.Clearly the light blue dots all with growth projected above all the orange dots .

Any wise economist or investor will go for higher growth(all 3 kenyan cities are projected at 200% - 300%growth ) over a slower growing saturated or stagnant larger market.Nigerian cities are at the bottom with slower projected growth of about 50%.

I'm hoping to hear or read one day about Senegalese,Angolans ,Tanzanians or Ethiopians deported from Nigeria.

This one sided traffic doesn't seem fair or balanced.

Nigeria has hundreds of refineries but they have not been well managed because the fuel importers sabotaged them.

Nigeria has a ot of super market chains that are bigger than Shoprite within Nigeria as well.

MTN is just one telecom company, Nigeria has Glo, Etisalat, Airtel, and by the way Nigerians hold majority share in MTN so calling it out right a South African business in Nigeria may be wrong, MTN in Nigeria is not wholly owned by South Africans.

BOLD ASS LIES that Nigeria has hundreds of refineries. ITs a huge stretch to claim that Nigeria has more refineries than even Japan,UK,Germany
combined.
That's a bold ass lie Nigeria has only four refineries and you import most of your refined petroleum.What other lies have you told now?

To say that Nigerian supermarket chains are bigger in Nigerian retail market is a lie because it is one of the least formalized retail trade market.If that were true then Shoprite would have closed shop long ago due to your "bigger competitors" but instead its making serious inroads bcuz those supermarkets lack experience and forex to import is in serious shortage ,

South african chains like Shoprite, Pick "N' Pay and Spar dominate Nigerian retail trade.

cool nigga

He's just a useless nigga spending fortunes on vanity.

A cool dude is someone like Mark Zuckerberg - he's simple ,not into vanity ,he's humble to dress in simple clothing but he creates wealth and cool ideas.

naijalander:
Now you are just begging to be insulted.

Nigeria's army has the most versatile land force there is in the sub sahara, with conflict experience as far as South Sudan helping the UN during the Darfur crisis. Ended 2 civil wars (Sierra Leone and Liberia), Angola Civil War experience too.

Honestly you are not arguing any more, you are just hating.

So you ended two civil wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone yet for long periods you haven't even smoked out BH and Niger Delta militants in your own backyard?

Oh please tell better lies than that cuz you now have Cameroon,Chad,Niger and even USA helping you deal with Boko Haram.

naijalander:
so the size of your budget matters because

And the size of your oft quoted GDP and entertainment industry matters because?


Your hypocrisy and self contradictory comments is astounding.

jnrbayano:
I am afraid, at this rate nothing will be left to teach generations yet unborn.

They can always go to Tanzania,Botswana ,Kenya,Zambia etc to view the wildlife there thus enhancing the economies and tourism of these conservation minded countries.

naijalander:
We both know this is not what all of Nakuru looks like and its Abeokuta not Abaokuta. You have obviously never been to these cities.
You just make random searches and Google and post them, you are not informed. Not far from Roysambu is Githurai which would be considered a slum, just past Kasarani is Kahawa, which will be considered a slum by today's standards.

Those brown roofs are pictures from Ibadan in the mid 90s, see why I said you are informed at all.

I'm not saying there are no slums in these cities but compared to what I have seen personally in Kenya, there is simply no comparison. This argument is dead and hopeless.

Funny how you arrogate yourself the title of who defines what a slum is and which one is not just to massage your ego.Ibadan is still brown roofs today and getting worse,Lagos alone has over 42 slums and getting worse ,nyanya in Abuja is horrible and getting worse.This pattern is repeated all over in Enugu,Jos,Kaduna ,Port Harcourt,Kano ,Calabar,Onitsha,Warri ,Uyo and Benin city.

Stop fooling us because standards of living in Nigeria haven't suddenly shot up from their horrible state of the 90's.Infact the Naira has lost a lot of value thus making more people even more poorer.Nigeria's population has also grown tremendously but not the average incomes-meaning even more people are now living in slums than ever before.

Your argument is dead and just meant to massage your ego but hard facts actually point elsewhere.

aylagos:
Kenya and sex that's why HIV rate is high over there

HIV is also very high in Nigeria .The UN agency for AIDS says there are 600,000 aids patients in just Kaduna alone.

Why should i be concerned? This violent Chris Brown looks like a Hausa anyway.

989900:
Agreed, we just have to do better. We need stable power supply to drive us forward. Of what use is powering Ghana, Togo, and Benin, while our little industries suffer?

OTOH, using Cali as an example is wrong. Cali is technically the 8th richest country in the world by GDP -- higher GDP than any european country bar Russia; maybe Germany and England!

Lagos for example holds down 20% of Nigeria's GDP @roughly $100b, bigger than Kenya's, Ghana's, Togo's, Benin's GDP put together -- imagine a Lagos with 24-7 power supply, adequate security, and sensible train network, further bolstered by a country-wide working economy.

That is a bold ass lie cuz the economy of Lagos was NEVER bigger than Kenya and Ghana combined and now with the recession and devaluation of Naira the economy of Lagos is actually smaller than that of kenya.

You people love to cook your own human excreta statistics just to massage your ego.

Dollyak:
Sorry to burst your bubble, Africa is poor. Lagos gpd is now more than $130 Billion quite a bit chuck more than kenya

Sorry to burst your misleading bubble, the economy of Lagos has never been over $100bn and now with recession and the steep devaluation of Naira the economy of Lagos is actually smaller than the economy of Kenya.

In 2014 the Naira exchanged at N150 to $1 dollar meaning the economy of Lagos was US $90b.

In 2016 the Naira exchanges at N315 to $1 meaning the economy of Lagos is actually US $43b.

rlauncher:
YOUR TOPIC IS MISLEADING.

It is about the ease of doing business and not the size of the economy. The economy of Lagos us bigger than that of Kenya.

So what if its bigger? The economy of Nairobi alone is also bigger than that of Zambia ,Senegal ,Mozambique or Cameroon and almost equal to giant DRC.

Lagos isn't even close to Nairobi in terms of economic output per capita:Lagos has GDP of $3200 per resident while Nairobi's GDP is about US$9600 per resident.

Iseoluwani:
I understand what you mean

NAME CHEACKERS ASSOCIATION


Meanwhile.. .........

Forget the NCA ,if this had happened in Kenya you'd have seen it repeated twenty times " Kenya again" with other descriptive terms like the new Sodom and Gomorah.When such stuff happens in Naija its always double standards.

68816419:
now compare with this slum from Kenya(only kibera), as you can see the pics you provided is different from this Above pics and on ground pics

Lagos alone has about 42 different slums so just imagine how many more you have in places like Ibadan,Kano ,Jos, Onitsha ,Abuja and Maiduguri.

Don't hide your plenty of dirty linen .

Osyxcel:
You mean Ghana is now exporting fuel to Nigeria? For real? Smh for Nigeria

https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/smhp.gif

But how can GHana export fuel to Nigeria yet there's uproar in Ghana itself about importation of dirty fuel with unacceptable sulphur content?

Or maybe Nigeria has the same high sulphur content standards like Nigeria.

Hbuyosh:
Lie!

True, bujt not the only thing.....

Kenya Airways isnt the only airline facing hard times. Most of the airlines are, given the tough world economic times. Every business entity must go thru such challenges at some point in its existence.
But need I remind u that Kenya's airline industry is actually more vibrant than Nigeria's?

According to whom? Evidence?
Kenya (and SA) lead in Africa in terms of real estate. According to Ventures Africa

We Kenyan aint into size, but quality of the urban centres.
U seriously believe that Nairobi and Mombasa are the only cities in Kenya? Never heard of these Kenyan other Towns?

Kisumu

Nakuru

What about these smaller towns...

The 26th largest town in Kenya according to the 2009 census Kericho
Thika....they are so many!!!





We got the facts. If u were stronger, u wouldnt have been witnessing the kind of economic recession and cash devaluation as now. Mono-economies are very vulnerable.
As u have admitted above, u have problems with electricity supply, but u have also forgotten to mention water, health services, education etc.
Nigeria fares worse than Kenya in HDI which look into such aspects.

That guy isn't into facts ,raw percentages or anything of objectivity.His selective " facts" ,ommisions and figures are carefully crafted to only about what will fit his prejudice.

MtuMsuper:
kenyans dont like the way some people drag our good name through the mud here on NL. The very few of us here take it upon ourselves to remedy that false/skewed/caricatured/ridiculous image someone else trying to share. The shark has swum to the blood so to speak

Don't let this guy fool you with fake estimates,wrong numbers and artificially "fixed" and doctored "facts". Check out studies conducted by more objective folks ....and this is Lagos alone.

Frank3n2:
Lemme ask like they did in the bible... Can anything good come out of Kenya?

Holier- than thou?

Ask your same question the day Nigeria stops its young women being sex trafficked in Europe,the day Nigeria will be free of drug traffickers executed in Asia and the day Nigeria will be clean of the image as the home of internet scammers.

Beey:
I ask the same of Nigeria.They know how to play saints and then dig the dirt from other countries to make them look bad.Yet your country is full of baby factories,sex trafficking but you'd rather remove a spec from another country's spec than remove the logs in Nigerian eyes.Give us a break please.

Yes indeed and its a big insult to over 40m people.Some of these folks wanna act holier- than- thou as if Nigeria doesn't have its fair share of weirdos,nutcases ,sexual maniacs +pedophiles,psychos and lunatics.

Every family has its blacksheep and Nigeria of 170m people sure has plenty.

TechEnthusiast:
Most kenyans are "sex maniacs",i wonder why kenyan yeye news even manages to hit front page

How'd you feel when Nigerians are generalized as drug traffickers,419 operators and fraudsters?

clydedaniels:
You Ave to be a lady to think like this... arousal can occur anytime, even when under pressure in a board meeting...

Not all arousal are sexual but "Wetin don stand don stand"...

I've never heard of a successful rape of a man by a woman its always done thru seduction and/or use of revealing clothes to get 'em in the mood.But oh well ,humans can be very different so teach me more,prove your theory i'm an open minded person.

And there are Big companies in this Area and white people (Mostly Lebanese And Indians/Pakistanis) Own companies in Ago... So sad it's still in this state.. Too sad

And we're constantly reminded that Lagos has bigger GDP than some "little countries"

Neerah18:
So, women rape men too. This is unbelievable.

Its not only unbelievable but its also practically impossible.The guy has to be aroused and erect and thats one thing the ladies cannot force to happen.

I even find it hard to believe the story of Lot in the Bible -Genesis 19:30-38 how they got their father drunk and he fell asleep then the older went and lay with him.Impossible cuz his manhood can't function like that.

Pavore9:
That Fedha Estate of Nairobi is Nigerians' homezone...pidgin, igbo, yoruba is commonly heard there!

Thats news to me and i can't even tell you where Fedha Estate is even though i'm born and bred in Nairobi.In all my life in Kenya the Nigerians i met would be less than the total fingers of my one hand.

dumo1:
For what na? even small Kenya too? how were you able to get permanent residency?

Actually the above comment is meant for you ,take heed and be wiser.

"Small Kenya"..see this is what makes some Nigerians unpopular.Its never advisable to belittle others or treat folks in a patronizing manner.With all their wealth and outsized power +influence you'll never hear Bill Gates ,Richard Branson or Mark Zuckerberg belittle others,being patronizing or condescending to others.

God will not give you more power if you use what you already have recklessly.

blueAgent:
And whats the big deal ? if Nigeria had all this potential why can they fix their light issue?.5000mw for 170million pathetic.

Thats exactly what came to my mind.Life always reflects who you really are- the cold hard facts,the dismal statistics and the quality of life tells me that most these things said here are waaaayyyyyyyy off the mark.Total fabrications.

Life is a mirror reflection of who we really are -it doesn't lie or exxagerate
