check and mate! plus even if they were growing at 10% there is no way in hell they should be anywhere the $100bn mark they are now claiming

obaaderemi:
Thank you for this truth @bolded. If Kenya's GDP was $50bn in 2016(year thread started) and you are growing at an average rate of 4% per year, that's $52bn(2017), $54.8bn(2018), $56.6bn($2019), $58.2bn(2020)
Thank you for providing the firewood and tinder with which I roasted you, Little Indian. I told you your economy is $60bn max!
cc Samorobo, justnotyou.

Abohboy:
I agree with you in most parts but 85% of Lagos is not slum, the buildings in Lagos island, have zinc roofing which makes them rusty, and the buildings scare very old and near collapsing I would say 60-70% of Lagos is slums but not 85% let me show you a map of Lagos and circle the areas with slums

if you say Lagos is 60-70% slums then I think you need to give the criteria for slums. if you are saying that Lagos has kibera levels of slums in abundance that's not true. makoko is the place I can best describe as being like that however if an American says we have a lot of slums based on where he is coming from I would agree cos some of the poorest American areas or projects are just like a lot of Lagos neighbourhoods

Is thr any things u wont find in your very dirty,dis organized, unplanned Gikomba market(where over 90% of ur population go for shopping)?, u can even find chines selling maize, KENYANS ARE INDEED The Most Delusional Africans

nawa o this one makes oshodi market look like Harrods

yeah that's a concern however I think Osimhen is a confident mentally strong lad. i think he will be able to cope besides Naples is a friendly city. i haven't heard reports of them being racially abusive

Subzero047:
Italian fans are more bold and brazen with racism, I have been actively involved with black lives matter and I can tell you that racism is more or less acceptable in Italy

If he surveys and he thinks it is good for him let him go, but it doesn't sit well with me

seems the transfer is finally coming to fruition.

Napoli ticks all the boxes for me better league, more talented teammates, champions league team, less physically demanding league unlike the EPL. only worries i have are Gattuso's coaching ability.

Osimhen should also know that playing for a club like Napoli that the great Amando Maradona comes with extra pressure very different from that of Lille but let me not get ahead of myself let's wait for the transfer to be confirmed

TheSuperNerd:
From Gianluca Di Marzio on Osimhen transfer latest... (Translated from Italian).

Naples, Osimhen is in the city.

Napoli now tries to put the arrow for Victor Osimhen. The Lille forward, for whom Giuntoli had already given a strong acceleration yesterday , left France with the agent, and is expected today in the city. He will speak with the management of the Azzurri, visit Naples, where he will spend the night, to thoroughly evaluate the possibility of a transfer. De Laurentiis' club insists on bringing to Gattuso's court a promising young forward . These hours could be decisive.


The private flight that brought Osimhen to the city landed in Naples. First contact with the club that is looking for him a lot and that could close the deal. The attacker arrived with the agent. Here is the first photo.

was inevitable. with the world cup scheduled to be played in december of 2022 the african teams shouldn't suffer burnout. the only snag would be the looming club vs country row

Danielnino00:
BREAKING!!

The AFCON has been moved to January 2022

for my kenya peeps please check out this thread to see how "slumish" Abeokuta is

smash hit back to back

obaaderemi:
I think Moses smashed the original.

whatever bob you can type it out if that floats your boat

jln115:
it's text mate.... You ain't supposed to hear it

sorry we didn't hear you could you repeat that in dutch.... sorry i mean "derived dutch aka afrikaans "

jln115:
SMH!!!!

Nigerians at it again claiming other country's cities as there own!!

First it was Singapore then Canada now Kazakhstan

And as usual Samorobo is the one of the culprits

you are right he wasn't hyped normal regular updates were given about him.

what prompted komekn to harshly criticize Osimhen was his initial invitations to the SE at the beginning of rohr's reign as coach. he was feeling the boy was invited on sentiments not appreciating that the boy was a special talent who performed fantastically and creditably at the u17s and u23s respectively. like i argued that time every country now and then fast tracks it's special talents into their national team even when they haven't hit stardom. cameroon took an unproven samuel etoo to france 1998, england took theo walcott that hadn't kicked a ball in anger in the premier league to the 2006 world cup in germany. if those countries benefited from such decisions and heaven did not fall down i coul understand why komekn was bellyaching over a few invites to assess the boy.

andrewbaba44:
I remember komekn statements

He wasn’t hyped when he was playing at Wolfsburg ,I stand on my words

You and nerdy giving updates doesn’t mean he was hyped ,get the facts

Unlike others that do trap ball or complete 1 pass we no go hear word

na he's just in stealth mode like your Mi28 helicopters

gallivant:
Poor Sammy always walking on quick sand!

anytime i remember the stick he was getting and how he's proving doubters wrong now I just

pray he continues to remain focused and injury free

TheSuperNerd:
On this thread, he was once tagged a player who would struggle to make it into the Youth sides of English Championship sides not to mention EPL sides.

He was once tagged a lad who might end up like Chrisantus Macaulay.


Ladies and Gentlemen, the lad has risen above all that and now stands today as Africa's finest in Ligue 1. He is now undisputably Africa's Best in the land of the reigning World football Champions.

He is current recipient of the Marc Vivien Foe Award for the Best African Player in Ligue 1.

I present to you a lad who has defied odds and have proven all those demeaning talks wrong and justified the optimism and belief some of us here showed in his talents even when things weren't looking up for him.

His name is Victor James Osimhen... The Monster-Machine

It can only get better from here onwards...

Congrats to Osimhen for winning the Mar Vivian-Foe best African in French league award. Keep shining Osigoal

there is a funny highlight of the game yesterday towards the end of the match. Victor Moses was trying to find his strikers with a pass but the defending team cut it out which led to Lukaku yelling out in frustration

"Vickeytor! Vickeytor!! fxxxing hell"

TheSuperNerd:
Victor Moses' Game winning Assist..... Highly intelligent cross.

Still jobless and frustrated. Had to buy sniper to kill insects and annoying pests around me but now it's looking like Something edible and I hope I don't consume it

guy beyond bants I wish you well. hope that sniper comment is just you playing if not please don't resort to any action that will only leave your family emotionally distraught. you are a young man with bright prospects stay strong and don't lose hope. May God keep and strengthen you in Jesus name

komekn:
That era no longer exits, where you can select good number of quality YOUNG players from the local league.

Football has moved on and we have not developed the league to keep up with the times.

There are many youths in Nigeria that know all the players in most EPL teams. But don't even know they teams in our local league.

There is a problem with investment in the league.

I have never been to a bar , restaurant and or wine bar as well as beer parlour where they are watching the NPFL.

sorry you can't say with authority that the era has passed. as poor as the Nigerian league is I will not totally dismiss it as incapable of producing a player worthy to play in the national team. like everything in this country it's just the sincerity of purpose that is lacking on the part of the coaches/administrators.

performance has always been the basis for selection into the national team. what Icon is saying is that the SE sources players from different avenues. some from the home league like finidi, ben iroha, Enyeama, etc some through under 21s eg adepoju, siasia, ahmed musa, azeez, mikel, etc some direct from under 17 but not too common some from under 23s and the rest foreign born players who decide to play for us. note non of these players get called up from cadet teams just because they want to decorate the national team with young players but because such players showed potential in their performances for their club or cadet national teams.

komekn:
I don't agree with your proposition because it is yours.

The basis for invitation and selection to any age grade team that goes beyond 21 should be entirely anchored on performance.

That performance can only be about consistent continous, top class performances in your club and league NOTHING ELSE in my opinion.

pacretus:
can you help me that weird Ghanaian president attire I wan to show vankln something.

you sef why you dey find trouble? just unlook the guy antics. at least for just30 sake we fit dey attack our padi country

Ighalo FC has reopened for business

Hunchogee:
Ok so since there is no one defending Mombasa so Uyo officially win. Who is next Kenyan or others ?

ahn ahn e don do na! you wan make this people fall sick with depression?

samorobo:
Borno vs nairobi..
Borno wins..take it or leave it..

Joebie:
Joel Obi was putting up good performances and made one or two Serie A Best XI of the week prior to his recall to SE. But dude never translated that to SE. Joel Obi back then, in his previous stint with SE was on a different level. Seems he never got back to hitting that form.

injuries really affected Joel obi. during siasia's first stint as SE coach he was probably our best midfielder even outshining Mikel. his recall to the SE before the world cup wasn't out of place like you rightly noted he was unable to transfer his purple patch with his club to the national team

sheyishemba:
this thread hyped a lot of players then ohhh
most especially Bryan idowu that one dey form ogbomoso jordi alba for us

ogbomosho Jordi Alba

Danielnino00:
Uyo is a Nigerian city, Mombasa is a Kenyan city..

The only reason you poked your ugly nose into it was because you wanted to throw insults at Nigeria, nothing more..


It's ironic that you say we are obsessed with your country when you are the poking nose into our business..

What happen to starting an Accra vs Mombasa discussion?

No, u just had to jump in...like u jumped in the Abuja vs Pretoria discussion...

exactly! I Have noticed this guy's provocative behaviour. Going forward if he continues to be a wind-up merchant I think it's best everyone start to ignore him

my guy i decided to do some measurement via google from the two pictures it is clear as night and the ultimate champion of slums in africa

samorobo:
Yes,yes,yes post makoko...make sure you get makoko from different angles just like you always do with your duplicitous nairobi images....
We don't and we can never deny having slums like makoko, but what we are most proud of is knowing that makoko despite being in a much more populated city is not regarded as being the largest slum on planet earth which would be kibera and the worst slum on planet earth which is also would be kibera...
Lol kibera recieved two Oscar slum awards in one night

rafiki even if I buy your argument 10 whole years have passed since that estimation by IFRA yet your slums are still considered the largest by reputable international bodies. besides UN already called BS on your figures for kibera https://www.reuters.com/article/us-slums-united-nations-world/insight-slumscapes-how-the-worlds-five-biggest-slums-are-shaping-their-futures-idUSKBN12H1GC


You think UN, Oxfam etc will pull figures out of their ass become they have something against kenya? same organizations that are headquartered in nairobi? please find somebody else to gaslight with your propaganda

Shma:
Repost the link and copy past that part you're talking about. even though it's a bs, it shows that kibera doesn't carry any world's largest title.
Meanwhile, you can as well try this.

This article presents the findings of the estimated population of Kibera, often said to be the "biggest slum in Africa". This estimation was done in 2009 by the French Institute for Research in Africa (IFRA) Nairobi and Keyobs, a Belgian company, using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) methodology and a ground survey. The results showed that there are 200,000 residents, instead of the 700,000 to 1 million figures which are often quoted. The 2009 census and statistics on Kibera's population also confirmed that the IFRA findings were accurate

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.usnews.com/news/cities/articles/2019-09-04/the-worlds-largest-slums%3Fcontext%3Damp&ved=2ahUKEwjvkPaq1Z3qAhXM8uAKHU92AOMQFjATegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw1nVtX3edPFF2j2RgUr4gXh&ampcf=1

your own link said you are head and shoulders above everybody else in this slum game but you still writing epistles to counter your own link. now i've seen everything!

Shma:
we have informal and formal settlement in kibera and the other slums mentioned, even though the survey was carried out some time back, I can guarantee you that the figures that summed 1.5m was not just section of slum. Kibera is big. And if we go with the criteria they used of 5person per household. It will result to unfair result. the census process that was carried out recently suggests that kibera(slum dwellers) are barely 70,000.

Shma:
keep posting blogs.
This is by united Nation which ranked the world's (terrible kind of slum) floating makoko. https://www.usnews.com/news/cities/articles/2019-09-04/the-worlds-largest-slums

Honestly you're very funny number 7 on the list of slums you posted on that link please can you mention the country boldly written there?
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.usnews.com/news/cities/articles/2019-09-04/the-worlds-largest-slums%3Fcontext%3Damp&ved=2ahUKEwjvkPaq1Z3qAhXM8uAKHU92AOMQFjATegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw1nVtX3edPFF2j2RgUr4gXh&ampcf=1

Shma:
you're wrong Mr. kibera is not even in top 5 largest slums in the world, makoko has its special crown as the world largest floating slum.
The two are different. so they can't be ranked in the same category, but for me I take the lagoonish(floating) slums to be worse than normal one.

There is no special category a slum is a slum and yours is one of the biggest

Shma:
I don't have time to spoon feed people when raw evidence lies in the pictures.
You can enlighten yourself in Google.
But, All In all, Mokoko still carries the title of world's biggest slum.
Choose any link from my screenshort that can enlighten you well.

sigh those are not lists those are opinion articles written by any random person. even the headline says world's largest "floating"slum but you guys have the largest slums fact!

You cannot spoonfeedme because you have nothing to feed off yourself keep searching Google maybe something remotely trustworthy put in our slums ahead of yours get to work
