that s what you consider it as
and remember that you have covered yourself with the orientation that Kenya can challenge Nigeria and so you can't let any fact move you

How can English be so hard for someone who claims to have been born in the USA - a country where English is the first, and most of the time, the only language?

Here, you clearly spoke like an American in the USA. Now you have a sudden change of mind.
looks like you can't identify sentences showing past tense

So you think interswitch and aiteo are bigger thabn KCB? grin grin grin grin grin

Dude, you are sick.

Dominant in what exactly? grin grin grin grin

You guys are funny. There is nothing unique about Nigeria dude. Just like other Africans, you have many foreigners in your economy. Most of your large supermarkets are foreign owned. Your oil is refined outside Nigeria. You don't have a National airline. Your largest telecomunication company is 100% foreign. Just accept, you only bring in the foreign ownership thing for the sake of winning an argument but honestly, it holds no water. The fact that you tried to favorably compare Tanzania to Kenya in terms of foreign owned companies tells it all. I am sure if this thread was about Tanzanians against Nigerians you would say the same thing about Tanzania. grin grin
and you want to compare Nigeria with an area that is experiencing foreign colonialism

KCB is a big Company, one of the largest in East Africa. Talking down on it won't make it small.

Kenya Airways is 92.2% Kenyan owned so I also wonder what you're talking about.

In the same breath, please mention me the supposed big Nigerian companies found and owned by Nigerians that are known all over Africa.



Last time I checked, Jumia was owned by Germans. This is the hypocrisy I'm talking about. You guys are so petty.


What is Lipton? lol! Dude, no such thing exists on Kenyan shelfs. All the Tea that we consume here is processed in Kenya. FYI, we also don't produce cocoa yet all the Cocoa products we consume are processed in Kenya.
lol
you guys maybe don't have Google on your cells.
Jumia is Nigerian check google

Please mention it. I don't see the everything you're talking about. Stop being stupid.

Say, "we are better than you because we have a national airline and you don't"

or, "We are better than you because we have a higher life expectany than you"

or "We are better than you because we enjoy higher standards of living than you"

That's what I want. When you say everything, it's so vague. You could be having poverty in your mind when you say everything. grin grin grin grin grin
airline that bears losses almost every year
life expectancy..... that's not general
higher standards of living.... I doubt because your government try to kill you with taxes
