i find books superior to videos. Books are better thought out and in addition give better background information on the subject. They go into greater depth than videos. Are less distracting less expensive- you dont need electricity to use them- etc. Youtube videos r usually produced by authors on different levels of expertise-most r very poor nd shallow. Most hav high rambling to content ratio etc few are good. Few are comprehensive. Most authors begin but never complete their series e.g look for something on assembly,lisp,c - many are plagued by high approval needs- no likes they quit or get discouraged etc.
But then,it's different strokes for different folks.
I find videos useful for say step by step guides e.g software installation etc

Well you are right, but with videos l learn in ten minutes what l would have tried to grasp via books in 2hours, l easily get bored with too many verbose words in a book, but that's just me.
A combination of both is great.

That Dangote guy must be believing that Nigerians are hopeless and helpless, they're one of the most illiterate people in Africa and he's busy giving sponsorships to others as you claim...

Where did he mention Dangote there?? Tony Elumelu( CEO of UBA) is the Billionare who does stuff like that, and of Course Nigerians are included.
Your second point on illiteracy rate is mute, because you are saying that about 130 million (out of 180 million) Nigerians are literate.
Fyi, 50 million is about the size of Kenya, but 130 million is 2.6 times the size of Kenya and can swallow up your country.

Somalia is a country
We were talking about Somalis
Now tell me what was your problem

oh my God, tylann, t1ann, tyone, what the he'll is wrong with you?? what are you smoking man??

TayserMahri:
Why are your women so full of testosterone? Look at this bich in the video and compare to the Mozambican chiqa (from 0:42)

Its high time you postponed those elections and instead inject all your women with estrogen. Otherwise the whole of Nigeria risks being male in 100 yrs.

Taysermahiri say no to drugs

.
You have comprehension issues
Are you sick
Go through those posts
I will ask you again were were discussing about Somalia

No you were discussing about Morocco. Even with the screenshot you still deny??l wonder what the problem is with some of these Kenyans.

tylann:
Who was talking about Somalia
At no point were we talking about Somalia
Don't jump to discussions you are not aware of

WTF

tylann:
Do you know what we are talking about ?
Or you are just jumping around like a headless chicken

Of course I'm not blind, you are talking about Somalia.

Ibrahimanis:
Did you see the part where she buried a charm under his pillow to make him fall for her? Witchcraft at work

, so they love the witchcraft movie thingy afterall.

Lagos traffic

Lagos and Abuja are lovely cities.

tylann:
Some are very black
Sometimes you wonder why they are that way
They are among the poorest people in kenya
They breed like nothing else
Some are also very good businessmen and educated
But still breed like rats
Very soon they will be Kenya's largest tribe

oh the irony, here is a Kenyan reffering to other Africans as very black.

XhosaNostra:
I noticed that, which is funny because some of them are extremely dark & ratty-looking. So really, it's OK if they feel they don't belong with the rest of us. We don't care to be associated with that.

, if a Nigerian types the bolded, the Kenyans here would come for him. Nigerians here have called the Kenyans and Ghanians extremely dark people and they refute this by claiming Nigerians are not proud of the black skin, but the fact that some of these hypocritical Kenyans support your statement when it comes to Somalia makes me lmfao.

Ibrahimanis:
Nigerian/Kenyan production

Looks like Nigeria and Kenya produce shitty movies

Yeah it seems Nigerians are now infecting Kenyans with witchcraft movies.

THE Ghanaian society criminalised pidgin
anyone who speak it is discribed as an illiterate

you wont find Ghanaian to Ghanaian speaking pidgin
you can find them speak creole

lf what you say is true that Ghanians consider pidgin English speakers illiterates, then why are Ghanians so interested in pidgin? even in music they infuse Nigerian pidgin words, and they are generally interested in speaking that way.

Just30:
How can he speak pidgin when pidgin is criminalised in Ghana?

Criminalized by who?? Almost all Ghanians l've ever met are more interested in the Nigerian version of pidgin, and l've met a lot. They mimick Nigerian pidgin a lot and they ask Nigerians meaning of some pidgin words they don't understand, words like " Anyway sha", " Na wa to you oh", etc etc. lnfact warri pidgin is very interesting, it's like music to the ears, so l can't understand why Ghanians and other Africans are fascinated by it.

tylann:
No starvation is in kenya but it is in Nigeria
That is why you receive food aid

Really?? no starvation in Kenya?? while growing up l have always known that as a Kenyan and Sudanese problem.

tylann:
Those groundnuts pyramids are history
The north of parts of your country is under in un food aid program
Your country is a cesspit

But the food we eat in Nigeria generally comes from the North, so maybe you mean the BokoHaram infected parts of the North, about (1-2) states in the North East, but Kenya had no such insurgency and are 4 times less populated than Nigeria, so why the starvation in Kenyan North it may simply mean your Government has focussed so much on Nairobi for long to the neglect of other areas.

tylann:
Exactly poor planing stupid people
Show off projects
Look at abuja for example
Wastage of resources

How is Abuja a waste of resources?? lol.

Ghana has beaten Nigeria more time in senior football everybody knows that


The argument is about which country is the most successful in football and Nigeria is clearly far ahead

The last time you won the AFCON our football was still far from developed... today you haven't won anything for 37 years... all you can brag about is having qualified for the AFCON every year . You hosted it in 2008 and couldn't win it

Shame on you!


Don't be a Sissy my friend... let's talk about other sports too..

I'll be dropping Nigeria vs Ghana record at major sport tournaments to shame you further!

They didn't even qualify for AFCON in 2004.

kikuyu1:
You're genetically incapable of comprehending that literacy rate DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN! It's the result of planning,both intellectual and financial:the best teacher ratio,curriculum, educational infrastructure, ie, technical colleges,teacher training colleges, adult education institutes are planned accordingly REGARDLESS OF THE POPULATION!!

The rest of your post is mindless screeching.

so you are saying our beloved per capita doesn't apply to literacy levels as well, why now??

vaxx:
loll......Every country has what it is know for , England is known for foootball, American is known for basketball. Ghana has decided to be known for soccer, The second most successful football team in Africa. only behind Egypt .

Even at that, boxing is well perceived in Ghana.

What do you mean by second most successful

in Ghana, Uni dont run research
Uni run research in the name of research outfits.
same way uni in Germany dont run research but do it in the name of research outfits



have you wondered why all the rice, maize, cassava, sorghum, millet,palmnut varieties that are grown in nigeria trace their route to one research outfit in the Eastern region of Ghana?

all your superfoods are made in Ghana

have you wondered why all the research into tropical disease and breakthroughs make their way back to one research facility in Legon ?


you Nigerians are just funny

no wonder you have a funny concert guy as president

When you write here sometimes, learn to back it up with links, you and vaxx make so many ridiculous and astonishing claims about Ghana.

Just30:
that is the case but in Nigeria, you have to apply for so many licenses certification and all sort of nonsense
and when you are refused, your products cannot be sold on the market...

so the question still stands
what are you afraid of?

Why should Nigeria be afraid of Ghana? what do you produce you saw the list provided here the other time, only SouthAfrica has more indegineous companies than Nigeria in all of Africa closely followed by Egypt and then Morocco, Kenya is 7th, l can't even remember Ghana's position on that list.
South Africa has so much here, a few Ghanian companies are also here, so your complaints are meaningless.

Constructions everywhere...

What construction?? you've been showing same pictures since the start of this thread. We have shown you development spread wide across Naija, but you just recycle same picture, front and back all the time.

Jonraid:
The main sectors contributing to economic growth are building and construction, infrastructure development, manufacturing, transport and services, and tourism particularly from emerging markets; agriculture, and wholesale and retail.


http://www.kenyarep-jp.com/business/key_sectors_e.html

Can you give a breakdown of all of these? lol.

Modified... Ok from the link,tea and coffee contributes a lot to your GDP, not necessarily infrastructure development, this is why your GDP is a meagre 80 Billion dollars.

I will also love to see Sophia Omidiji in GWG .

why, have you seen her play before and do you think she's that good??

NairobiWalker:
Kenya almost catching up with Angola. Why is Angola's GDP shrinking though?

Yet to recover fully from the 2016 oil recession.

NairobiWalker:
Why are you guys so daft?

Dude, you came here with a point boasting about how Nigeria has the second most listed companies in Africa. I told you it's stupid to boast over that considering Nigeria is by far the most populous country in Africa dwarfing the next by 100%. This is common sense - we don't have to have a recognized statistical index known as listed companies per capita to understand that. The whole world spent weeks laughing at England when they were beaten with Iceland because Iceland is a tiny country - do we have a statistical index like goals per capita? NO. But it is common sense - England has enough populace to draw great talent from and Iceland doesn't so Iceland beating England means England was so shitty. It's that simple.

The second part of your point is just absurd, you knew about market capitalization when you boasted about listed companies without considering their sizes and now you're discrediting something that you brought yourself - you're basically piercing yourself in the foot.

ln that case why does Frances or England beat the likes of China, India,and the U.S? the simple reason is that no matter the size of a country, it is stupid to measure talents per capita. Kenyans have some of the best runners, not because of population but because the Kenyan nation is simply good at that.
Lol, how do you measure talents per capita

Danielnino00:
Wow!
Kenya doesn't have industrial estates??


Ibrahimanis, Daejoyoung, darfay, jaycent,samsobo24, obaaderemi. . are u guys seeing this?

And yet they tell us they are industrialized?? lol.

What about the value of deals?

https://www.tekedia.com/nigeria-leaps-ahead-726-million-invested-in-african-startups-in-458-deals/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Tekedia+%28Tekedia%29

I know Kenyans would say it should be (73×4) deals for Nigeria and not 136 deals because Nigeria is 4 times the population of Kenya.

According to numbers compiled in WeeTracker’s Venture Investments Report 2018, US$726 million was invested across 458 deals in African startups. That is a 300% gigantic leap in the total funding amount and over 127% increase in the number of deals as compared to 2017.

In terms of the number of deals, all inclusive, NIGERIA outperformed all other location with a total of 136 deals. South Africa, which gave it a close competition stood second with 107 deals, followed by Kenya with 73 deals. This trend has a slight deviation from the last year where South Africa had topped the chart. Joining the race this year along with the investor’s preferred destination are countries like Egypt, Uganda, Ghana and Tunisia.

A total of 243 investors participated in the investment landscape in Africa 458 startups raised funding in various rounds throughout the year
80% of the deals were concentrated in South Africa, Nigeria & Kenya. Fintech retained its top position as the sector with most funding.
30 startups made it to the 5 million club of fund raising across the continent.
