NairobiWalker:
See how tiny the difference is. From his sourceless graph, the difference isn't that big and considering the average salaries in Kenya are much better than Nigeria and housing in Nairobi is much more decent than Lagos then it all boils down to almost nothing. Do also remember we pay monthly rent here while you pay annual rent, when you factor for that, you'll realize the difference doesn't exist. Why are you so stupid?

He showed you just Lagos city. Lagos city( not state) is the most expensive city in Nigeria, even more expensive than Abuja. Generally Nigeria is way cheaper than Kenya.

t1ann:
Not even 100 apart from the high commissioner and the ambassador and they staff no Kenyan is in Nigeria

Lol how l wish Nigerians truly care about this, even if there are 2 million Kenyans in Nigeria it would hardly make a difference.

t1ann:
Nigerians should be arrested and deported they contribute nothing to our economy
Only drug dealing and cyber crimes.
They should be shot at first sight

lt is you guys here who claim there are Nigerians in Kenya, but l doubt.

Jonraid:
MTV Shuga series made her international. MTV Shuga series program was a Kenyan idea, I heard there is now a Naija version with some Kenyan and Nigerian actors in it.

But it's Hollywood that gives her the fame she has now not Kenyanwood, Nairobiwood or Riverwood( oh my).

Jonraid:
Who is Genievive ?

Ask NairobiRunner.

Ibrahimanis:
Your source that Nigerian banks abroad made 130m dollars?

He just says whatever he likes.

Jonraid:
Meanwhile, Lupita Nyong'os trailer of the movie Us by Jordan Peele who is the producer already looks a big money film. Who is Connie Kabarry?

Lupita Nyongo doesn't act in Kenya but America. See what Genievive Nnaji is doing with her movie Lion Heart bought by Netflix.

l never knew there was a Riverwood. Lol, wonders shall never end.

NairobiWalker:
.......and we don't want to.

Kenyan Nollywood actress and producer Connie Kabarry has won two awards in Nigeria.

She won in the categories of Nollywood Pan African Film Maker of The Year (East Africa) and Nollywood Actress Of The Year (East Africa) during the Nollywood Excellence and Leadership Awards (The NELAS) 2018 held in Abuja State on September 30.

Connie had previously said that she passed through hell before she finally got herself in Nollywood, and to where she is today.

She had tried her hand in acting in Kenya but many producers turned her down. But last year she got her break in Nollywood.

“I know so many people are passing through the same because I was getting messages from so many people who wanted me to help them explore their talents,” she said during the launch of her Connie Kabarry Productions in Kisumu a few weeks ago.

She also started Team Connie Kabarry for people interested in the film industry but who have not gotten the opportunity to showcase what they can do.

The members registered so far exceed 58 members. They launched their first movie as a team, The Devil You Know, in Kisumu and Nairobi on September 7 and 8, respectively.

When leaving for the awards on September 28, she had indicated that a lot more was in store, including preparations for a television series which would be a collaboration of Kenyan and Nigerian cast and crew.

“I am overwhelmed with what God is doing in my life and I am so grateful for the new Nollywood family that God connected me with… My intention is to introduce as many Kenyans as possible to Nollywood. I can’t wait to see Riverwood and Nollywood working together,” she said.

Connie will jet back into Nairobi at 2am on Friday. Her welcoming party will be at Club Platinum, in Kenya Cinema, Nairobi, from 8pm on Thursday, as her Team Connie Kabarry counts down to her arrival with the awards she bagged.

Connie is the wife of benga musician Dola Kabarry.

NairobiWalker:
When you see a bank celebrating 500k dollar profits, pitty it.

Can we compare our Banks and their profits? it's a route you don't want to take.

t1ann:
Many kenyan saccos and cooperatives are more profitable than those imaginary Nigerian banks

There is no Kenyan Bank more profitable than Zenith or GTB. Also banks like UBA are spread across 18 African countries and still outside Africa( can you beat that?).
We are not even talking about First Bank here, also l would leave out Ecobank.

Yobeezy:
Are those people commenting in the second pic not Nigerians?Stop lying,iroko tv is not known here,that's the fact.
You can't force us to be relevant with it.

They just started operations but they are growing, they are offering you jobs, the venue is there already, you apply or tell your siblings and loved ones who meet the requirements to apply on the stated website.

t1ann:
No i have not been successful
Does it even exist

They are in Nairobi Union Towers (opposite Hilton Hotel) log out now and go apply before it's too late.

rvp20183:
Maybe KQ stream those Nollywood for Nigerians.

They are settled in Kenya already and employing.

NairobiWalker:
Not yet, have you?

irokotv's main offering is an internet video streaming platform of selected Nollywood titles (both English and Yoruba films). The platform currently has around 5,000 movies on the platform, which equals approx 10,000 hours of content.[23] The company has also forged partnerships with leading global technology firms, including Nokia, who launched the irokotv App on the Nokia Lumia in January 2013.[24]

Since 2014, the company has also moved into global offline distribution, and supplies a number of airlines with Nollywood content, including British Airways, South African Airways, Emirates, Kenya Airways and United Airlines[25]

The company also has content partnership deals with Tigo, Nollywood Movies, The Africa Channel and Nollywood TV. In March 2015,iROKOtv launched a new feature that will enable subscribers download movies for later offline viewing.[26]

In April 2015, iROKO began to move some of its content offline and launched two new TV channels,[27] iROKO Play and iROKO Plus on Africa's StarTimes,[28] to which Jason Njoku commented "We're known primarily for leading OTT content delivery across Africa through irokotv.com, but with digital migration spreading rapidly throughout the continent, now is the right time for us to diversify our distribution model and expand into the Linear TV market."

Yobeezy:
Nigerians are forcing us to be aware of some of their least known useless online tv's
What the hell is iroko tv?
I've never heard it before,am just hearing it for the first time in this forum

But they are employing Kenyans already, you can also apply. Thank me later.

rvp20193 Kenya is just the same as ghana. In ghana it is the same thing the nigerian banks are in big trouble closing branches right left and centre you can go to gtb or access bank in accra you only find three employees in 1 branch. This nigerian banks and nigerian companies they borrowed money massively to invest in other african countries which was suicide. In 9 months nigeria banks borrowed 19 trillion naira this year. In nigeria also they're packing up diamond bank is in trouble . Skye bank has been taken over by polaris ethan is in trouble. Etisalat collapse, econet collapse, zayn network collapse. The mobile companies are making massive losses. The economy is unstable

lol, you are a clown, access bank is doing very very well in Ghana, same as GTB. Ask the Ghanians themselves, they can't deny it.

t1ann:
Who told you they were underdeveloped
In terms of infrastructure development kenya is ahead of Nigeria

lol, we've been through this before, it's not true.

Kenyans on this thread would pretend Nigerian music is not popular in Kenya, but this is something they shouldn't deny. Here's a video of the Kenyan dance to Burna boy's Gbona. lt's a good thing for both countries if you ask me.

Ibrahimanis:
Top cities visited by tourists

So tourists even visit Lagos more than Nairobi? and one would think Kenya was majorly about tourism in Africa.

Ibrahimanis:
Tech hubs in Africa

Calculate the number of hubs per capita too.

Ibrahimanis:
Africa's too cement producers

Per capita my friend, per capita. Very important

Ibrahimanis:
Lagos is Africa's most valuable startup ecosystem

Even without constant electricity.

sufferNsmiling:
Thanks for telling us that your oil money is used to build other african countries while you suffer in swallow and poverty. The same way nigeria built europe and asia. It's now time for nigeria to build other african countries while they are dying at home in extreme poverty.

Nigerians built Europe and Asia wow, up Naija.

deadkamalu:
nsalla warrior whatever that means. nigeria is a complete shithole and it is staring all of us in the face. you can continue to play the ostrich as for me i will call a spade by it name.

Of course Nigeria is a shithole, it's nothing new.

gallivant:
Google billionaire Vaswami from Dubai, he dominates importing in Nigeria, and he is not a Nigerian Indian. You crying oyimbo in Kenya is just to divert attention from the oyimbo and Lebanese behind Eko Atlantic. We can see through you.

Never heard of him before, and why is he not even among the top twenty richest Nigerians in any list you can think of??

mtisTheQubit00:
then who are ths peeps

Your brothers.

mtisTheQubit00:
but why travel all they way from the Giant an live in a bedsitter (10 guys ) in such a place ..

l doubt there are Nigerians in Kenya, you are just lying.

NairobiWalker:
The fact that your Nigerian brothers can't afford them is not because they're expensive but because your brothers are poor. Housing in Nairobi is cheaper and better than in Lagos.

What brothers are you talking about? you are the ones who claim there are Nigerians in Kenya. Kenya has never been among the top 20 countries Nigerians travel to( not even in Africa), we only read about this from you on this thread.

mtisTheQubit00:
Funny Nigerians love ths apartments ..wonder why

Nobody cares about that, the issue is that they are Kenyan housing systems.

mtisTheQubit00:
i have friend who works on mpesa back end an i got fews details about its origins..dont read alot from the internet

Even Michael Joseph(owner of Vodafone) has his own story on the founding of mpesa, should l listen to him or your friend who only works there?
By the way what are the details your friend gave you?

NairobiWalker:
Calling you on your hypocrisy is not name calling, it's your hypocrisy that's childish and pleas, these houses are not markets. It's just that Nigerians are too disorganized you sell stuff right where you live otherwise you'll have to be sick to thick somebody will believe that they sell fish in these houses.Your excuses are always lame.

But these are not usually expensive places( if at all they exist in oshodi Lagos, dunno).
The crux of the matter is the rent of low income areas in Kenya are way too expensive, this is what l get from the arguement of Nowenuse and genieluv .
