Bahahahahaha, Kenya still does mobile banking when the rest of Africa is doing E-banking

That's the figure of educated illiterates Kenya has.

There's no country the world with 24 million humans where human development index is as low as Kenya excluding Afghanistan and Syria.

Your technological feat is still below Ghana. Don't flex muscles with those who God made above you.

The only thing we know of Kenya is your wild life which can only generate a laughable economy of 53 billion dollars.

You are poverty personified!

CIA fact book? This boy wears ignorance like a traditional cap. Dümmy, Everyone knows Americans rely on 3rd party unverifiable data for Africa.

Only 33℅ of Nigerians are poor from recent world bank datahttp://ngex.com/news/public/article.php?ArticleID=2657

DriveByKiller:
yes, i saw you just left the 12th position overtaking ghana and ethiopia to become 9th with a laughable gdp of 53 billion dollars. that alone is a lot less than lagos gdp alone.

DriveByKiller:
arrgh!!! i do not dispute figures down to its last digit or seek to correct the actual population of Kenya or its slums. i do not care for those. the indisputable fact is that kenya has the largest number of slums in africa and is no 3 in the world.

and for a population of 25 milion, it is inexcusable. the first italicized paragraph of your post sums the facts.

DriveByKiller:
@Coldplay89

What does a country with 25 million population doing with slums.... laughable GDP and PPP?

Do you pause to realise that smaller countries are always able to manage their resources and living standard than large cities?

Maddened fool!

How come Kenya isn't in top 10 largest economy in Africa?

What does a country with 25 million population doing with slums, power shortages

You're a fledging, irreformable madcap with an overbearing dose of stupidity.

African rankings that has been publishing Africa's GDP, military grading, intelligence report and PPP as an authority for years is what a nonentity like you seek to disprove here?

You are carrying the collective curses of your whole community in your head.

Here's world's top 10 worst slums in the world and Kenya features in no.3 http://www.therichest.com/rich-list/poorest-list/10-of-the-largest-slums-in-the-world/

Oya, fault it again.

Moronic dopey

DriveByKiller:
You're a bemedalled depey simpleton.

Kenya isn't even top 10 African countries in development. You troglodyte lowlives are still doing mobile banking because you have no standard banking institution..... slobbering fool.

Here, Kenya isn't top 5 in tourism: https://www.africanexponent.com/post/top-ten-tourist-destinations-in-africa-82


In Africa's largest top 20 slums Kenya has 7!!!!

Occupying the 1st and 3rd possible.

Tell me how does a tiny country with 25 million has 7 slums in a continental population nearly a billion people?

Blazing bastard feeding us with cheap lies

Lolz! If you go to Kenya, you will come back bone-thin like their famed marathon runners and twice as ugly with breathing disorder. Heard they have an unusual high topography there.

You would have lost your grip on me when you finally arrive.

DriveByKiller:
Don't talk to me about travel! We travel more than all of Africa combined! Kenya isn't developed and is home to Africa's largest and most decrepit slums. In fact, Kenya has 5 of Africa's 10 largest slums..... Wildlife and game reserves aren't development!

Nope, Morocco, Seychelles, South Africa , Mauritius,Namibia are Africa's top 5 tourist destination. You need to apologise for your fledging ignorance and emboldened stupidity. You parade ignorance in a celebratory manner!
I don't do Google; I read hard copies that's why I tower head and shoulders above your 5 minutes Google knowledge.

MtuMsuper:
First things first.
This gal is NOT a celebrity in Kenya. She happens to be well known amongst denizens of the social media and virtual world in Kenya, for nothing other than errm. ....her ample proportions. They call it yarnsh in 9ja if am not wrong. Well known, perhaps, but only to people who think that someone's posterior is newsworthy.

If i understand your meaning of "black" - which i take to mean mahogany, obsidian or other similar dark skin tone- then no, not all kenyans are the same. And if you mean the racial sense of the word - taken to mean person of African descent - then yes, all african kenyans are blacks as well. And yes Kenya has several non African descent minorities such as Desis(people with origins in South asian sub continent ), whites(i have met very very few) and arabo-Swahili groups with very mixed parentage ( i have lived in Mombasa ) who predate even Kenya as an entity. All of them are kenyans.

The different groups that make up Kenya / kenyans are the descendants of various groups, that have difference in phenotype as well as genotype (physical and genetic make up) hence the different shades of skin color that black kenyan people come in. You folks see kenyan runners winning races and say oh! see these " "black" people o running like gazelles. Little do they know they overwhelmingly come from one ethnicity in the country. Indeed they happen to be quite dark and lanky and we celebrate them because they are us.
I say this because i have physically observed alot of people from 9ja do this and i immediately register that you folks dislike darker skinned africans and are inclined to diminish their worth because you are just projecting passed down prejudices. Change this dirty mindset, please.

O the side of ethnic makeup of Kenya, you have it mostly right. Bantus, nilotes and cushites are the three main African races present in Kenya.You did not factor centuries of admixtures into your thinking, though. You have explicitly stated that black and bantu are mutually exclusive, by saying zimbos, angolans, rwandans, south africans etc cannot be black because they are predominantly bantu countries . WTF!!!!!! Are you a real person!!! I need a stiff drink. very stiff.

prettyboi1989:
i thought kenyans are black, y dose girls come yellow like chidinma?

MPSA:
Nairobi is beautiful, but it can't be compared to big cities in south africa, small places also developed like nairobi in SA

OoDVanguard:
Lol. Bro, I'm talking about the quality and architecture of the houses you find in both cities. I know what I'm saying. But then again perhaps we have different tastes in that respect. Below is a typical example of a the quality of the architecture in estates in Lagos and Nairobi.

1,2 - Lagos (Grenadine Homes and Nicon Town estate, Lagos)
3,4 - Nairobi (Karen and Kisembe estate, Karen, Nairobi)

Dude, don't get it twisted or misunderstand me. I respect and admire Nairobi skyline and will doff my hat to the city anyday! My point was that the majority of the skyscrapers that dot its landscape are for the most part concentrated in the Nairobi CBD and those skyscrapercity pictures actually buttress that point. And I still stand by what I said about the difference in the quality and architecture of private estates and properties in Lag compared to Nairobi. Below are pictures of the skyscraper cluster distributions of Joburg, Nairobi, and Lagos (Lagos has many other clusters of course.

1. Joburg
2. Nairobi
3. Lagos

craziebone:
can you analyse Nairobi with those criteria i mentioned at the start of the thread?

OoDVanguard:
Guy stop yarning dust. I have been to and lived briefly in Nairobi so you no fit bamboozle us. Fine, the city has a great and impressive skyline no doubt, which is mainly concentrated at the CBD, but overall it can't beat Lasgidi, and you can take that to the bank! Lagos has several clusters of skyscrapers and high-rise buildings that litter its landscape that Nairobi can't match. Plus, the quality of the buildings and architecture you will find in Lasgidi's can only be rivaled by S.A (Jo'Burg and CapeTown in particular) in the ENTIRE AFRICA! If na lie, I DARE YOU to show me the best that Nairobi has to offer (Nairobi wey be say the moment wey you comot Westlands and Ngong Road you don see the BEST of Nairobi finish), make we compare am to just Ordinary Nicon Town Estate for Lekki wey fine pass ANYTHING in the entire Kenya. Yeye dey smell.

craziebone:
you made very good points about us being a few city state and its detriments. How i wish, we could move away from that approach to life.

As for Lagos being lumped up together with the likes of Islamabad, Karachi, Kabul etc, that i strongly disagree with. These cities see daily bombings from terrorists, bombings that can only be rivaled by Boko Haram's activities in Maiduguri. I can bet you that alot of all the reasons, some people jumble up Lagos with those cities is because of stereotype, and stereotypes die hard!

As for Nairobi, i don't know if you've been to Nairobi before; if not, our only info on Nairobi will be from the internet. Isn't Nairobi the city that houses the Kibera slum, remind me? A quick google search showed me that three top skylines in Africa and they are: Johanesbourg, Cairo and Lagos.

Anyway, this isn't about Lagos and anyother city, but Lagos and Abuja. Let's keep it small.

slyIsaac:
2.Abuja, Nigeria


The capital of the biggest economy in Africa, the capital of the world’s most populous black nation, and the capital of the country that produced the richest man in Africa, what else do you expect from such city than beauty and development?

Abuja is the most developed city in Western Africa and second most beautiful city in Africa. Beyond it’s beauty and development, Abuja is among the richest city in Africa, not by GDP, but in terms of cash flows.

Dreamwaker:
I don't believe this is a political joke, it's deeper than that. It's a cultural joke, it's discrimination. This is racism in black and white and not color. Some particular group of these East - Africanese have a fantastically disgusting interior complex with we Nigerians that they have to make jokes at us to make them feel better about themselves.

SMH

StepTwo:
Bro, you should stop embarassing urself.


In no aspect should you compare Kenya with Nigeria.

gud4dbest:
Kenya?Huh!...mtchew.

StepTwo:
