Negro,you still can't comprehend the concept of per capita! After all this time.....SMFH!?

Negro, per capita is almost always lower for populated countries. l have said it before, the tragedy is in having a small country like Kenya lag behind in per capita developments compared to populated ( equally problematic)countries.

Yobeezy:
In that picture i can see a guy carrying a plastic bag,so don't be dumb enough to post old pics here.
plastic bags were completely banned in Kenya.
You think you can fool some of us here
Never..

Moreso,the slum population in Nairobi constitutes of only 5%,i wonder the kind of research that some of these illetrate Nigerians do massage online in the name of searching bad news about Kenya.

Plastic bags were only recently banned in Kenya.

rvp2018:
kenya leads sub-sahara africa in banking - 82% of kenyans hold bank accounts - according to WB's 2017 Global Findex Database. Kenya clearly on the race to universal banking access.

Kenya leads other Sub-Saharan Africa economies including South Africa (73 per cent); Gabon (64 per cent); Uganda (62 per cent); Ghana (60 per cent) and Nigeria (53 per cent).

53% of Nigerians is about 100 million people, which is more than double the entire population of Kenya.
Perhaps Nigeria should be compared with East Africa henceforth.

gallivant:
We are a welcoming people, we take pride in that but Nigerians in Kenya are eroding that pride.

That's your fvcking business man.

gallivant:
How many Nigerians are in Tanzania compared to even Uganda? Check the numbers and you will realize Tanzanians are the most xenophobic of all Africans. The place sucks.

Nigerians going to Uganda, Kenya, or Tanzania is hardly any of our business in Nigeria. Tanzanians have the right to accept or reject whosoever they want in their country. Why do you Kenyans take pride in the visit of foreigners to your country?

TayserMahiri:
Whether you like it or not, Tanzanians will find it hard here. I guarantee you that. You can fight for them all you want but they are doomed here! Start a thread with them since you love creating threads with other countries and see what they can do for themselves. This thread doesnt have their name on the title so they are simply gate crashers seeking to shine in the glory of others.

Why would they find it hard here? The Tanzanian pics l've been seeing here looks so nice and beautiful, let's see what they've got, it's an open forum.
Afterall you never complained of Ghanians or South Africans here.

OMANBALA1:
Take your hypocrisy and shove it down your throat. Are you done yet with baby factory, chest beater, flatty flatty, drug barons, money rituals ? Mr. One Nigeria...lol
Take another look in the mirror before you try to question me. And no where did I ever say Igbos are the smartest.

That is a Kenyan you are replying ( could also be a Nigerian who was born in Kenya).

OMANBALA1:
I am surprised you left out baby factories, drug dealers, criminals, thieves...lol
The only thing Nigeria is successful in is your united hatred towards the Igbos. Carry , my fellow patriotic Nigerian. Na una go tire!!

ls there any evidence that lgbos are more hated than any other group in Nigeria? can you give me an instance?
Yorubas are insulted by almost every group all the time as betrayers, or fearful people ( which are general false stereotypes almost all other Nigerians have of the Yorubas). Also Hausa' s are despised as Aboki illiterates and terrorists who can do no good.
All of Edo are hated and Stereotyped because the Benin people always go to Italy to disgrace Nigeria, the list goes on and on.
In the same vein, lgbos are seen as people who love money and business so much that they can manipulate their way to get what they want.
This is not true of almost every lgbo man l've met, just like l've seen only few fearful Yoruba men.
But these are stereotypes anyway, so that of lgbo is not so distinct as you think.
Why that of the lgbos seem unique to the average lgbo man, is that theirs is often associated with politics which may be so because they once fought a war. But l am yet to see this special hatred that you speak of.

TayserMahiri:
GENERAL WARNING TO ALL TANZANIANS !

BIRGING IS NOT ALLOWED ON THIS THREAD !

Why are you intimidated by the Tanzanians? You seem to worry about them so much, allow them post what they wanna post.

OMANBALA1:
I am not here to peddle superiority thoughts. I call things the way I see it and if you dont like it write rebuttal. Igbos are very innovative, enterprising and fearless. The war brought the Igbo land to rubbles and without any help from the federal government Igbos rose rebuild their land. That is a great feat that even some tribe with all the wealth and privileges have not been able to achieve.

Nigerians fear the Igbo man not because they are the worst but because they fear TOTAL DOMINATION by the Igbo.
Sarduana made it known.
Former Oba of Bini made it known.
Oba of Lagos feared usurpation of power by Igbo.

It took me a while to come to this conclusion but it is a danm fact. And I don't care whether Nigerians hate Igbo or not because it is an open practice but how long will you keep living in fear of the Igbo man even when we have no political power.

l am yet to see this so called hatred of the lgbo man across Nigeria. l don't get it actually, or is it political? Because l don't see how the lgbo man is hated or discriminated over other groups in Nigeria, except you guys have other definition of the word hatred.

TayserMahiri:
I dont like Igbos just like I dont like Hausas and Yorubas and your tribe. Alright femboy? Igbos are as useless as any Nigerian on Earth. You are unlucky we cant tell Igbos apart here in Kenya otherwise we would give them special attention when checking their rectums for drugs. So we check all people with a Nigerian passport with the same Igbo-oriented vigor. I suggest you imprint a letter 'I' for Igbo on the faces of every Igbo so that we know who to check more. Otherwise as far as criminal behavior is concerned, we consider all Nigerians to be Igbos

Who you epp??

nemesis8u:
Well I don't agree agree with u r points but that again is my personal opinion.

And the thing with opinions is that r simply opinions be it mine or urs or others

South Korea or Japan benefitted from America is what sense ?

Afaik it was only in the sphere of security

It makes no sense that Americans helped the Japs and Koreans set up their industries / research institutes etc which in the future would endanger the American industries / interests

Everything they did was on their own initiative and their own effort , they took risks they worked hard and they got the results

Among nations there r no friends only interests

China and India were ancient civilizations which meant they also had a lot of luggage ( socioeconomic etc ) which created more disadvantages rather than advantages.

China had to purge and kill millions of their citizens to conform them to what they r now . India had to carry the burdens of the past and r still struggling with it.

But inspite of that they r making a difference and competing with the west.

Big picture always matters but aren't they the culmination of small pictures ? So many small stories end up in a big story right ?



can u mention the time / period and additional info about the same. Would love to know

Well my points are there for those who can understand to understand, and l can't keep going back and forth. So we agree to disagree.
lndia and China were ancient civilizations with cultures such as Hinduism( a common kind of philosophy for all of lndia) and then the dominant Han Clannish Culture uniting China, which means they have had more time to get to know each other, fight wars, etc, and then learn from their mistakes and build on their path.
Japan and South Korea have benefitted greatly from the U.S, in almost everything and most importantly in transfer of tech, just after the second world war.
IF YOU CAN'T GET ALL OF THESE, THEN SORRY l CAN' T HELP YOU FURTHER.
To answer your last question, you can check from 1972 to 1980.
Also with lndia for instance, they improved greatly at the turn of the century, it was way terrible for lndia before then and Nigeria even under the military regime were not as poor, though more highly dependent on oil.

nemesis8u:
No offence sir

But most of u guys r ready with excuses when the narrative goes against u.

South Korea also never had a solid foundation to build on but where r they now ?

Same for China , India , Japan.

South Korea and Japan has benefited immensely from the U.S especially after the second world war.
China and lndia were both ancient progressive civilizations already before colonisation much more exposed than the native Americans or Africans.
This is not about giving excuses, and it is true that Africans on their part are not doing well. Of Course Nigeria at a time( no matter how poor) were way ahead of lndia and were more or on same level with China and way more progressive than Singapore/ Malaysia. Many things have continually moved on a downward slope for Naija, and of course the fault lies in us.
However we must tell a story completely and not always fall into the danger of a single story as Chimamanda Adichie advised. You must take everything into perspective.

nemesis8u:
When it comes to R & D in pure science and applied sciences no African country is even at half the level of competence of South Africa.

It takes decades of investment and nurturing of human resources to even possess the fundamental skills and know how.

And why do you expect any African country to be above the level of South Africa?
South Africa has a solid foundation to build on. ln 1890 for instance ( before Nigeria was even born), South Africa already had the Johannesburg Stock exchange, and access to Whites man education.

Congratulations to all africans which took part on this thread especially kenyans, ghanaian and south africans. We came to the giants backyard and we defeated the giants in its own backyard. Now nigerians will know never to mess with another african country because africans are united against the giants.

Find something better to do with your time jarry.

kikuyu1:
If you insist but ponder this:since this thread began we,especially rvp2018 have constantly advised to learn to start with the basics in all things. I know I've stressed and so has he the importance of first fixing your power grid before even thinking of increasing your generation because we repeatedly explained it would be like filling a bath tub while carrying water from the outside well using a leaky bucket.
Ofc you all knew better and screamed how HIM Dangote money was building a 10 k mw or was it 20 k mw refinery/submarine base/nuke plant to make blackouts a thing of the past. ON ONE DAY LAST WEEK DIDN'T THE TOTAL POWER SUPPLY DROP TO A MERE 90 MW? Isn't the opportunity cost of this crisis already unbearable? Isn't it time to change the way you do things and confront your issues squarely?

Why are you taking panadol on another man's headache? The question l'm asking is this.. lf Kenya is so diversified and if Nairobi is such a financial powerhouse in Africa, why is the city not even considered a trade center in Africa? All the diversified economies of the world are on that list from U.S, to U.K, to China, lndia, Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc.

kikuyu1:
Negro,WHY ARE YOU SO FASCINATED WITH THE APPEARANCE RATHER THAN THE REALITY OF THINGS? Wtf does it matter if we have none or 20 trade centres? That doesn't change he fact we'r above you in all meaningful measures-the data is here even though like 90% of your bros I doubt you can accept much less understand it. Tbh,I think there's need for a national resocialisation process or mass therapy-u[b]ntil you learn to see things like adults you'll never make any forward progress.[/b]
The bible says it better and Hell no!I'm not the type of negro to spend his days yelping about Yawheh and how he loves his son ,his blonde hair and blue eyes but Ephesians 13:11 has much sense.

Cry me a river.

From that list we have only Seven African Countries, with only Nigeria and South Africa having two major trade cities. So if Kenya is such a financial and diversified powerhouse according to gallivant, Taysermahiri, et al, then how come she is not even considered? l was expecting to see the much talked about Nairobi and Mombassa on this thread.

World trade Centers in Africa


Algeria..Algiers

Angola...Luanda

Egypt....Cairo

Mauritius..Port Luis

Senegal....Dakar

South Africa....Johannesburg
.....Cape town

Nigeria........ Lagos

Daejoyoung:

Zionchild22:
Nigerians really needs to change their attitude and scamming ways especially in foreign countries. I rented out an apartment to a Nigerian guy he left in the middle of the night without paying rent and left the place in a mess. Now am never going rent out my place to Nigerians again.. am sorry to the good Nigerians..

This is a very silly and myopic post, quiet Childish.

forgiveness:
Make una dey deceive una self..

Belgium suppose to dominate the game but unfortunately England had more possesion, more passes, more accurate passes, and more shots on target.

Statistically speaking, I am disappointed to see Belgium resort to park bus tactics against ordinary English team.

Belgium is a counter attacking side.

nwoke39:
It was just commissioned today...
waiting for a Kenyan city metro to be commissioned..

We shouldn't be comparing with Kenya my guy, it makes no sense to be happy that Nigerian is doing better than Kenya. l understand when it's vice versa and the Kenyans are happy but Nigeria being ahead of Kenya is nothing to be proud of.
We know we should be doing better than Brazil and Singapore at this stage.

Kenyanstar:
Kenya Railways
Nigerians please jealousy is a sin.... Just accept Kenya is on another level. Imagine a country that has no natural resources but using its citizens as its biggest resource. No wonder Nigerians are flooding our country in droves with there dirty behaviour.

For God's sake Nigerians are not so much in your country like they are in Cameroon and even Benin republic. Nigerians are in your country just like they are in Zambia, Tanzania, Botswana, etc. There is nothing special about your country. l never really heard much of it until the Twitter jokes on the aftermath of Mark Zuckerbeg's Visit.

sufferNsmiling:
You are still the same old fool you cannot learn anything. All of those trains in 6 months none of them will work. we saw what happened too abuja power station the government spends 500 million us dollar on a power station which only work for 4 months in 5 years. in the same abuja 100 million us dollar was spent on a cooking oil plant the plants never operated for more than 30 minutes since it was commissioned. All of these things are stage managed. They will be borrowing money from world bank and imf including paris club in return they will be fooling you. Nigeria is 32 in africa in performance and achievements keep on fooling yourself. Do not worry when extreme poverty hits your head you will worship criminals faster.

So because in the past things never worked, it means they would never work again abi?
This your brain is paining you seriously.
Why do you like Suffering this much, biko why?

Naija

[b]Abuja – After several months of uncertainty, President Muhammadu Buhari has given assurance that he will sign the African Continental Free Trade Area (AFCFTA) agreement having weighed the pros and cons of the treaty.

He gave the assurance while playing host to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who is in Abuja, the nation’s capital for a summit organised by the African Export and Import Bank.

Buhari explained that ordinarily he would have appended his signature to the document long ago, but his slow pace of reading as well as peculiar challenges of Nigeria’s unemployed population informed his decision to withhold assent for the time being.

He said, “I am very careful about what I sign whether it is my checkbook or agreements especially when it involves nation, states. As your president has said, we are so populated and have so many young unemployed citizens and our industries are just coming up.

“So, in trying to guarantee employment, goods and services in our country, we have to be careful with agreements that will compete maybe successfully against our upcoming industries. I was presented with the document, I am a very slow reader maybe, because I was a soldier. I didn’t read it fast enough before my officials saw that it was all right for signature. I kept it on my table. I will soon sign it”.

Recall that the Nigeria Labour Congress and a number of stakeholders in Nigeria had warned of negative implications of signing the AFCFTA treaty, with a caveat that such assent may stifle job creation in Nigeria.

The development had prompted President Buhari to put off his trip to Rwanda where the agreement was to be signed. However, other continental leaders took the bold step to sign the document.

Meanwhile, reacting to the spate of killing of Nigerians residing in South Africa, Ramaphosa attributed it to criminal elements in his country.[/b]

He said South Africans are not averse to Nigerians living in their midst, noting that the relationship between both countries dates back to the days of apartheid struggles.

Ramaphosa said, “There has been quite a number of incidence in our country where foreign nationals some of whom are Nigerians have lost their lives and are being attacked. I will like to say here and now that that has been as a result of criminal activity among our own people which we are focusing on from a criminal element point of view.

“I want to state here and now that South Africans do not have any form of negative disposition or hatred towards Nigerians and in the main Nigerians in South Africa and a number of places of our country live side by side, they corporate very well and some are in the corporate structures of our various companies and some are traders and some are into a number of things.

“So, I want to dispel this notion that when a Nigerian loses his or her life in South Africa, it is as a result of an intentional action by South Africans against Nigerians. That is simply not true.”

Runalong333:
You learn something new every day. But is Lagos bigger in population, number of developed places or landmass ? Or all?

Lagos City is the biggest City in West Africa. Lagos State is the smallest state in Nigeria( I'm talking about Land Mass here).
ln terms of Population, Lagos State is the largest in Naija with about 25 million people, just the Size of Ghana.

the Nigerians in Ghana love robbing and stealing oo

That's because you entertain yahoo boys and Ghanians love yahoo and crime but they are usually pretenders.
