You are a terrible liar. All the Kenyan villages I see on news look like those from the stone age era.

Same here. l saw a lot from Kenya on TV during their election period, and there was nothing fascinating, so l wonder why they come here to boast.

Nowenuse:
I did not show you any nice house in that Surulere video. I showed you a drone view covering thousands of metres of an entire suburb. Get the difference.

You showed us higher income estates and not even a suburb. And I exposed their high rent costs to you. You pointed out Middle income houses in Surulere and I proved to you Surulere being very mixed and even more low income.

Where are the nice buildings in this video below?

Do all low income Nairobians live in estates?
Show us your own low income suburbs and not estates or shut the fcck up.

These Kenyans twist things a lot to deceive the gullible.

I doubt your claims that most Nigerians came to study in Kenya because they failed those jamb stuffs,some of them came to study in Kenyan varsities depending on their choice of environment to study in,the financial background in which they come from and the merit scholarships that some of your charitable organizations do offer.

Nigerians who can study abroad would not think of Kenya first, it's usually the U.S, U.K, Germany, etc not Kenya.

theenchanter:
tertiary institutions in Nigeria is not an easy feat, u have to undergo series of test before entering the university.

After high school, u have to pass Jamb and Post Jamb before u go to college, it's not removing "something". It's just like sieving the very best and admitting them, once u pass those two exams, u're off to d uni. Most of the Nigerian students in Ghana(which I'm very sure of) are those that can't pass the exams.

Exactly and l believe it's thesame thing with Nigerian students in Kenya, yet the Kenyans are so proud to have them, lol.

254tobby:
Yes there's corruption in Kenya but not as worse in Nigeria..

Ask your friend how many times he wrote jamb. He is not telling you the whole truth. So be careful of so called Nigerians in Kenya who couldn't get in by getting the jamb cut off and had to take refuge in Kenya.

254tobby:
Hell no I can't
The problem with dangote nation is corruption.
Corruption is so fertile there to the extent that they've planted it in learning institutions especially in their universities precisely federal and state universities.
For you to get admission into any Nigerian university,you must remove 'something'
so as to be considered a chance even after struggling to pass their merit exams,the likes of JAMB and POST UTME stuffs.

All these was shared to me by a Nigerian friend of mine who is a 4th year IT student at Multimedia university of Kenya

Well l never removed anything to get admission. This is not to say your friend is wrong but that he didn't tell you the whole story. There is corruption and bribery system that allows those who have connections or those who can bribe to get into the university even when they ain't qualified (but even this is usually underground and not openly done).
However those who qualify for admission into the university in most cases do not need to bribe their way in. l didn't bribe my way in, most of us who got the cut off in jamb and post jamb exams didn't have to bribe our way in either, so your friend dished you half truths.
Now there is great level of corruption and bribery in Kenya, am l wrong?
Be careful what you repeat here from so called Nigerians in countries like Kenya, probably your friend failed jamb and couldn't get in, hence he could only blame the entire system for his misfortune.
Kenya then comes to his rescue.

Nowenuse:
Kenyans are not just liars but they are thieves.

Imagine these thieves want to claim Italian properties as theirs. Very soon they will claim Coca Cola because of Coke studio being held in Nairobi.

Such shameless thieves.

l have told them there's a difference between investors investing in your country(which is a good thing and which all countries can't really do without) and indigenous home grown investment.
l like foreign investments in Nigeria and foreigners of course teach us many things(we need them), but l am most proud when blacks do their own thing indigenously too, or like the Asians, learn from foreigners and apply the knowledge at home to build home grown investments and start up's. This to me is more exciting, and it's what can save Africa.
Nigeria is doing it slowly, and must help other Africans realize this truth. While our banks grow and spread across West Africa especially to Liberia for Instance, l would prefer that we train the Liberians to establish more banks and financial sectors for themselves, so they can stand on their own.
Africa as a whole( Nigeria included) must invest more in human capital to truly become powerful.

This one is not fine nah, nawa oh.

Wow researching into this, has made me realize just how impressive Nigerian designs and architecture are. Just like fashion today, and the great arts of the Nok culture of old, the Benin and Ile lfe kingdoms, there is so much attention to detail on this designs.

Nigerian architecture...Sheraton Hotel.

obaaderemi:
Hahahahahaha, Osun primary public primary schools beat Kenya's universities. I told the idiot I won't post Lagos schools. Osun state is enough for them.

And yet Osun is not even amongst the richest states in Nigeria, yet Kenyan Universities can't match some of the public schools there.

254tobby:
You're talking of college while he was talking about public/national secondary schools in Kenya that are of high standards achieving excellent academic records for the past 4 decades

Meanwhile,these are Alliance girls and alliance boys respectively

Then st Mary's school yala and starehe boys centre.

Because you saw college in the name doesn't mean it's an actual college, it's still a public high school. Many Nigerian public high schools just have college in their names e.g Federal Government College, Warri.

rvp20182:
That is Nigeria contemporary design in 21st century What is wrong with you architects. Here is new high school built by M-pesa foundation

You can't compare your designs to that of Nigeria, even your fellow Kenyans were enthralled by the building designs they saw in nollywood movies. lf you want to check out designs and architecture, look out for the posts of Arinze, they abound on this thread. We've been through all this before, stop taking us back.

samsobo24:
you feel intimidated by the black skin, that's why you rant about the IBO's using enhancement creams because most IBO's are light skinned

Not just lgbo's , even Edo's from the Esan tribe are light skinned, it cuts across Benin and many urhobo's, ltsekiris, lsoko, etc. intermarriage is also high amongst the various tribes, so it is not uncommon to find so many light skinned people from these tribes.

rvp20182:
Cellulant was founded by Ken Njoroge and when it expanded first to Nigeria - he co-opted the Nigerian - otherwise Cellulant other African operations are all ran from Nairobi. As regard to little indians - we got 80K indians against 1M indian. So yes we are little Indians and you're BIG indians. Our Indians are doing complex business - you indians are helping you ran shops and such mundane stuff.

Cellulant was co-founded by a Nigerian, it didn't expand first. With only 3000 dollars in their pocket they started, stop twisting facts because you don't like them.

rvp20182:
You got nothing - outside Andela (which is wrongly attributed to Nigeria - instead of New York) once off funding last year - you're way behind Kenya and South Africa.

Just this week Cellulant (Kenya) - sold some of it's shares for 40-50M dollars - that is again nearly 15B naira.Cellulant - get 47.5M dollars funding from US group.
https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/news/Cellulant-gets-Sh4-8bn-equity-funding-from-US-group/539546-4559806-7u6uj0z/index.html

Even the Cellulant was partly invented by a Nigerian as well.

ZombiePUNISHER:
Nigeria is a glorified disease that must be cured or else... The impulsion is going to bury us all..
It's time for us to tell ourselves the truth...
There is nothing giant about Nigeria...
You don't have light... Which smaller countries in Africa have in abundance...
You don't have a good healthcare... Your president can't trust his life with it... He prefers to waste money abroad..
You don't Jobs for the youths ... So let's call the lazy
Abeg make I stop here... I don tire
Let me forget Boko Haram... Fulani herdsmen.. Etc

He just told you, that Goliath was stupid didn't make him any less of a giant.

modik:
The answer is bold YES

your economy is just crawling our of avoidable recession!

And what was sustaining the fragile economy in the past? oil and kwarraption.

Obedy04:
I was here when it was on page 100 and now almost 2500.
Conclusion Kenya is not a small country.if it was that small Nigerians would have finished them with ten pages only.

That's a flawed conclusion, what if Nigerians just wanna play sometimes and be amused by the Kenyans?

rvp20182:
Rift Valley Academy - in rift valley escarpment about 60kms from Nairobi - This a boarding school for missionary kids - that I have seen ranked 1 or 2nd in Africa - it mostly whites

Again you don't follow your arguements, we are talking of having many private schools for the middle class. List your top ten private schools outside Nairobi and Mombassa, that can be paid for by those who receive at least 500 thousand shillings anually ( 1.5 million naira), and compare them to those in Nigeria outside Lagos and Abuja, or even PortHarcourt( to be fair in our arguements), you'll see what nwoke is talking about.
This thread is not worth it because we just building your ego by making you feel you can compete with Nigeria. l only do this for the sake of discussion and the moments l take a break from my work/activities.

nwoke37:
Is it me or those picture i posted do not look wack. This is coming from a person who has schooled in America. Those pictures are not even pictures i would dream that a 3rd world country like Nigeria would have.

The schools look lovely(on any standard) and are quite the expense. Ultimately i would like more public schools in Nigeria to look like those private schools i posted

Let's see private schools in Kenya shall we?

l stayed most of my life in Warri and Benin, both are not major cities in Nigeria but have some private schools like the ones you posted too and many others. Standard private schools for the middle class are spread across Nigeria in majority of cities. Some are also built by Churches and they are expensive.
Truly the middle class of Nigeria is widespread.

Nowenuse:
Hahaha, so IrokoTV is now very popular in Kenya too.
Kenyans are nothing but a joke

lroko tv is like the Netflix of much of Africa, it also helps some of the Ghanian movie directors make their money back at the moment- this is a fact.

obaaderemi:
Because we built and we are still building our own stuffs. From Lagos to Abuja to NTA(Africa's first TV station), Innoson Motors which is faaaar bigger than your Möbius to Gtbank which bought a Kenyan bank to IrokoTV which is currently a rave in Kenya to Nollywood which Kenyan women and men are addicted to (even Kikuyu 1 is a fan) to Glomobile to Nairaland which you Kenyans can't get enough of to our great collection of artwork from Nok,the world's first ironworks site to Bini and Ife bronze works. I can go on and on...

Don't forget eTranzact( mobile money platform too) which has a branch in about six African countries(including Kenya) and still expanding. Even Paga, lnterswitch, and then Jumia(which was started up and operated solely by Nigerians for some time).

NairobiWalker:
He keeps talking about 'what have you built?' as if Nojerians have ever built anything.

The thing is there are mobile money paying start up's in Nigeria too by Nigerians though not as big as mpesa. We actually thought mpesa was built by the Kenyans, but learning that it was also from the British (Nick Hughes) is demoralizing.

rvp20182:
I can refute nonsense for nonsense sake. What is PORT HARCOURT or LAGOS. Who laid their foundation. When are you going to rename them.

l don't know about Nairobi though, but most of the infrastructures in Lagos were built in the seventies by the Nigerian military and then some other good ones by fashola. Even Abuja was built from the scratch from the late eighties to the nineties.
As for names, some prefer the name Eco to Lagos, that it is called Lagos, doesn't mean the white man did so much in it.

rvp20182:
Ethiopia one dam of 6,000MW is what you should be doing with all your petro-dollars. What you put there is so shameful. 200mw, 500mw? That is what countries like Chad or Uganda should be doing. 10MW power plant - like really NIGGA?

All you do is make a silly claim, then when refuted you divert from the topic like a parrot.
The point has been made, the claim by you that Kenya has more ongoing projects in Africa than Nigeria is rubbish, refute his points(if you can) before you change the topic.

obaaderemi:
Is that why you black Kenyans built nothing of note and are still building nothing? Leave Nigerian politics on one side and stop clawing at straws. Are you not ashamed when you go to bed and remembers that almost everything of note in Kenya including Nairobi, Mombasa, Lamu, Möbius, Safaricom, Mpesa,Ihub and even the Swahili language and culture were all birthed by foreigners? How do you sleep easy and resign so easily to fate?

Are you serious? So you mean every single thing the Kenyans pride themselves of here were invented or built by foreigners? this is damn serious.

rvp20182:
What wrong with her eyes. Those eyes you'll see a lot in Africa - coz of malaria infection and allergy from dust.

You just confirmed there is something wrong with her eyes whether by malaria, dust, etc. She is a black beauty still.

Nowenuse:
There is nothing as the 'blackest and proudest'. All Africans are black and proud except for you Indianphilic kenyans.

If you followed the last Miss Africa pageant in Calabar last year december. I fell in love with the South Sudanese representative.
She was extremely dark skinned and beautiful.

She is the darkest person in this photograph. The 5th from the left. She was among the top 5 amongst dozens of african women.
I have searched but could not get her personal picture.

Now this is what you call a true black model.

rvp20182:
Yeah you do us blacks the favour of calling yourself black mr Light Skin. The first pic of miss sudan I get is this.
[img]https://tsvr.files./2013/05/miss-world-south-sudan2.jpg[/img]

This one is better than the other
pics posted, though there must be something wrong with her eyes.

NairobiWalker:
People are still talking about their pagan shrines while the rest of the world is talking about blockchains and doing away with fossil fuels. Lord help Nojerians.

What you call pagan shrines are beautiful works of art from our ancestors that even the whites are dying to see and have in their museums.
