sufferNsmiling: You cannot compare nigeria and kenya. In kenya things work in nigeria on the other hand the criminals are the ones making the laws so you cannot expect things to work. The people which are passing the laws are the ones breaking the laws in nigeria. In kenya today if the government pass in law tomorrow everybody will obey the law. In nigeria if the government passes a law today the same people in government will never obey that law. If you see a rich kenyans he became rich and his community is benefiting and the people are developer from his richness on the other hand if you see a rich nigerian he became rich by destroying the people around him. an example is you find a us dollar millionaire in nigeria all the people around him are suffering even his mother and father and in he village there is actually no activity going on. What is the used to become a millionaires or billionaires when you are destroyed the country and the people are happy.
Hmmm, tell me something, So you mean Seun Osenwa, Tony Elumelu, and the likes all got rich by destroying the people around them? Even the Kenyans you are defending must be ashamed of your line of arguements.
sufferNsmiling: Why nigerians are fooling kenyans on this thread a lot off kenyans have not been to nigeria or stated in nigeria for a long time. you make fun of kenyan women. When nigerian women are a million times worse. If you come to the universities in nigeria all the girls do sell their body for bread, rice, butter, akira, ojojo and money. Most of the girls here survive on selling their body for money before a girl graduate from university in nigeria she has slept with more than 20 men even some of the university girls are selling their body as low as 500 naira. Girls in universities in nigeria like unilag, ui ,unilorin, university of nigeria, uniben, when holiday homes hundred of thousands of them go to ghana to sell their bodies for money. A country like zimbabwe is a better country to live in them nigeria at least dead things work.
Even if this your useless fallacy was the whole truth, how do you know the Kenyan ladies do not sell their bodies for money?
sufferNsmiling: The three reasons why nigeria is so backwards. 1. Illiteracy example the people do not know right from left good form bad. 2. Stupidity example when somebody is doing wrong or destroyed the country they support more and start to make a lot of noise that he is doing good. 3. Laziness example when they see the correct thing or some body doing good they become jealous and to fight him or chase him out of the country.
this Are the three biggest problem white we nigeria even nigerians abroad have the same problem.
Nah, the major reason Nigeria is so backward is because some people are suffering and smiling.
TayserMahiri: 1KUNS-PF aka 1st Kenya University Nano Satellite – Precursor Flight was successfully launched on Friday.
The miniature satellite has potential of conducting commercial space missions that previously required large satellites.
It will assist in earth mapping, earth observation, land use and environmental monitoring, weather forecasting, communication, disaster management, coastline and border monitoring and management of forests, livestock and wildlife, not to mention hunting Boko Haram Nigs!
Satellite is nothing new in Africa not even to our young brothers Ghana, so you mean Kenya is just catching up?
TayserMahiri: The song is KEnyan. Nigerians were included because they need the good message most.
Yah the song is Kenyan but the video, location, and everything is from Nigeria, the production is from Clearance Peters, so all these should have been done in Kenya, if you really think you are the one teaching Nigeria a lesson on Melanin.
Jayceon: If it weren't for the sanctions that the West placed on Zim and of course Mugabe being too stubborn to step down and let fresh minds take over,then Zim would have been one of the economic powerhouse of the continent.
l concur, Zimbabwe has what it takes to do quite well. Even in the mid nineties to early 2000's , the potential was there.
Donald95: 1 Zimbabwe Dollar is equal to 0.989 Naira
I know what I said when I said soon
1 Kenyan Shilling is equal to 3.59 Naira
What are you people even saying about this Giant Shithole
Yeah and immediately the Zimbabwean dollar gets higher, Zimbabwe would automatically get ahead of Nigeria. l also wonder why people are defending this shithole Nigeria sincerely.
Donald95: Just imagine. Just imagine how people are busy defending A country that was and is never one right from Amalgamation. Soon Zimbabwe will be ahead of Nigeria. trust me
I'm surprised you are saying soon, l thought they were ahead already, even Somalia, Congo, etc. All countries are ahead of Nigeria. Happy now
TayserMahiri: Who wants to be more white than Nigerian bleachers? There is nothing normal in Kenya from the picture you posted. Kenyans are some of the proudest, self-respecting, and respected Africans you will ever meet. In your country, normal are the Bobrisky kind of things that you guys do and shamelessly call it 'Toning'.
You should listen to this song before we get the groove on with your favorite topics. A kenyan had to go out of his way to ensure you get the memo.
rvp20182: Kenya Not your average African economy As in many other African countries, agriculture is the dominant activity, but Kenya's economy is atypical in other ways. It has relatively few natural resources, but the country's stability, economic dynamism and well-developed service industry stand out.
GERALD710: Last I checked Manderra is one county. I have never seen Codeine in Nairobi or Mombasa.Mombasa has its drug problem, Codeine is not one of them
And did they also tell you codein is in every single Nigerian village?
mtis: Kenya started from scratch. No Oil or Gas or any mineral to talk of. We did not have anything to sling shot our economy like most of African countries. But yet here we are. Our Country is almost semi-arid. Dudes Kenya is like Israel of Africa. Take it or leave it ..Or an by the way Nigeria dependency on oil is a curse coz very soon oil will drop below 30 an then the dance starts. You might think am just rumbling but oil is ended to not soo good future. We talking of electric everything…
Nigerian dependency on oil is something that can be resolved with a responsible Government because it is mainly Government revenue and major export, Nigeria also has what it takes to be a powerhouse in mining, have you heard of the moribund Ajaokuta steel industry? lf a sensible Government can solve the crises surrounding it, what do you think would happen? All Nigeria needs is a Sensible leader or Government and if more of the youths geht's interested in politics and people go out enmasse to vote than they usually do then this would come of course. No matter how you look at it, oil is just the Government's curse and not the curse of the hardworking Nigerians.
mtis: We are not even counting Gas my fren..So in a way Kenya is the only big shot African Economy independent of oil. That’s one thing you guys forget. We are coming an coming very fast
Kenya has natural resources, it is not as dry or empty as you would have us believe.
Natural resources that are found in Kenya include: limestone, soda ash, salt, gemstones, fluorspar, zinc, diatomite, oil, gas, gypsum, wildlife and hydropower.
obaaderemi: You be yeye man. You are wicked!I am rolling on the floor here. See how mtnis the boy played into your hand. He has not been the sharpest tool in the Kenyan shed so far. I need to learn from you. So, lack of mineral resources is the reason they have a 50bn economy? They better hold their government very well and ask how they are spending that "$40000bn" budget.
lol, l weak for the guy answer, to him oil is everything, and yet they claim to have a competitive market, so diversified, yet they still need oil to even shoot to a 100Billion dollar mark, even North Sudan with all the inflation is more impressive to me, or maybe their GDP is also cooked unlike that of the Kenyans. And you too still wicked, why you dey remove 20Billion from the small one wen dem dey manage na?
mtis: Advice : it’s the institutions that matter. If they are independent an working as expected it doesn’t not matter who the president .That the only way to pull Africa out of this Tribal an Religious conundrum we have
For once, you said something quiet reasonable. l think you might even be more sensible than that rvp ignoramus, l would still observe you though, maybe it comes and goes.
mtis: TOP 20 OIL PRODUCING COUNTRIES IN AFRICA--You dont see kenya there
1. NIGERIA – 1,900,000 BARRELS PER DAY
2. ANGOLA – 1,507, 000 BARRELS PER DAY
3. ALGERIA – 1,171,000 BARRELS PER DAY
4. EGYPT – 582,000 BARRELS PER DAY
5. LIBYA – 528,000 BARRELS PER DAY
6. EQUATORIAL GUINEA – 317,000 BARRELS PER DAY
7. SUDAN & SOUTH SUDAN – 255,000 BARRELS PER DAY

18. MAURITANIA – 6,000 BARRELS PER DAY
19. MOROCCO – 5100 BARRELS PER DAY
20. MALAWI – 200 BARRELS PER DAY
ok, so lack of oil is the reason Kenya is just a 70Billion dollar economy despite being so advanced and diversified according to you guys. So Morocco's 5100 barrel is the major reason you can't catch up with them ryt? Despite all you claim here about your market being so competitive and bla bla bla. I'm sure you are higher than Coted'lvore, Gabon and some others on that list, so that is not an excuse.
Admin401: Oh shut it! We were never doing fine. You have no idea what that phrase means. Doing fine by shiiithole standard? Or by first world standard? Even when Naira was 199# it was stil shiit.
Probably he is talking about the early seventies, there was a time we were ahead of China and the naira was greater than the dollar.
rvp2018: Laughable.Forex reserve is central bank job to ensure you can cover your import bill,pay for external debt and stabilize the currency.Its not wealth.Its indication that nigeria is importing lots of crap they shouldnt.Therefore you cannot sell or bring the oil dollars home but have to keep them in us fed reserve banks to meet import n debt obligation.Its an indication of backwardness.You sell oil to us but you cant bring home lots of billion dollars coz they are needed to import tomato sauce n milk powder abroad and nobody is accepting naira outside nigeria.Countries like norway or saudis keep their forex in soverign funds coz its too much for their economy.Nigerians cannot find dollars to buy locally coz that forex reserve is too little.Us has zero forex reserves.Budget is what you need to focus...its difference btw dreams n reality as far as public investment goes..stuff like roads or rail or education.Nigeria 30b usd budget id the worse in planet per capita if am not wrong.Somali when i last checked at it lowest had 1b dollars for 5m people.You have 36b for 200m people..that is less than 1b for 5m nigerians.
l asked you a question earlier, why is Kenya with all her so called development according to you not up to Morocco's level, why is your economy so small? forget about Nigeria for now, let's assume Nigeria is the worst country in the world with a true uncooked GDP of just 1 billion dollars.
254tobby: You're not even serious of what you're saying,dangote refused to invest in Kenya because the policies that were put to him by Kenya's top decision makers didn't favour his sight and so he labelled us being corrupt,and that's how his deal with Kenya vanished,moreso Kenyan manufacturing and retail market are so competitive that Africa's economy giants like south Africa and Nigeria have been finding a difficult time to strip in..
What does dangote want to invest in Kenya if not his cement?there are many cement factories in Kenya which are trailing in east Africa,the likes of bamburi,east Africa Portland just to mention but a few.
Dangote just want to manipulate things the way he feels like without considering the results of his investment in other foreign soil,and so Tanzanian government was not hellbent on that making dangote to close his cement factory in Tanzania..
Dangote not investing in Kenya doesn't take much away from him, he is already in 18 African countries. You claim Kenya does not need him because you are so diversified and competitive, but your economy is small, so l wonder how this diversification helps your economy. Your GDP per capita is still not even up to 2thousand dollars.
kikuyu2: I think rvp20182 excellent analysis has escaped you guys but for the rest of us the mystery of Dangoteland's missing half trillion dollar GDP has been solved. Sometimes we need to draw simpler pictures. If you're a regular gym goer you'll have seen such guys. With his impressive looking chest he's actually weak,weak AF in fact! Lacking leg strength his unbalanced development prevents proper lifting techniques-he'll either peak quickly or injure himself fast. The second guy is honest-a dwarf. Dangotelanders,imo,you fall between the two though I'm inclined to classify you as the little dude. What makes it hilarious is that you don't see your true condition having been blinded by years of the 'Giant' mantra,invented by those same who put you in this sorry situation.
The question is.... Why is Kenyan economy not amongst the top five in Africa at least? forget about Nigeria now, infact let's even assume the Nigerian true GDP is just 5billion dollars, the question is..... Why is Kenya not at the level of Morocco or Tunisia, if as you claim it is so diversified.
254tobby: You're not even serious of what you're saying,dangote refused to invest in Kenya because the policies that were put to him by Kenya's top decision makers didn't favour his sight and so he labelled us being corrupt,and that's how his deal with Kenya vanished,moreso Kenyan manufacturing and retail market are so competitive that Africa's economy giants like south Africa and Nigeria have been finding a difficult time to strip in..

Dangote just want to manipulate things the way he feels like without considering the results of his investment in other foreign soil,and so Tanzanian government was not hellbent on that making dangote to close his cement factory in Tanzania..
Then with all these, Kenya should be amongst the top 5 economies in Africa. Why do you think the Kenyan economy is so small? I'm really curious this time, not mocking.
rvp20182: 0baaderemi: I bet you've never heard of Cellulant - a kenya company that has been in Nigeria for more than 10yrs now http://cellulant.com.ng/ Cellulant is running Agrikoer -Cellulant's eWallet technology that to-date has impacted more than 15 Million farmers in Nigeria and Liberia.
Other examples of companies started in Kenya and now in Nigeria.Bridges International Schools, Envirofit, Kopo Kopo (mobile payment systems).I am pretty sure I can find more if I wanted to.
Cellulant was founded by a Nigerian and a Kenyan, so it is a Nigerian/Kenyan company, and this is why it has been in Nigeria for over ten years. Again get your facts right.
TIMELINE Our Story The journey started with the unlikely meeting of Ken Njoroge and Bolaji Akinboro whose subsequent dinner meeting resulted in doodles of Cellulant’s original business model on a table napkin.
A decade later, the journey of building a successful mobile commerce company in Africa by Africans for Africans continues. Cellulant is now in 8 countries and is serving 25 banks across the continent and has touched the lives of over 10 million customers.
