NairobiWalker:
So you've already figured out your life expectancy in 2019 yet we are barely a quarter-way into 2019?

Stupid idiot.

See your life expectancy. 64 years as at 2018. Stop lying.

Nigeria life expectancy is now 55 years. Bhuhahahaha

tylann:
Nigerian can only become a superpower of poverty nothing else

I heard KENYA hunger capital of the whole world. The superpower of slum capital of the whole world too.

Yobeezy:
You heard meaning it's a rumour without a verifiable source but us we saw it in the various news platform that Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world.

Okay, I saw various news platforms that verified 35 million KENYANS are suffering. Is it true?

NairobiWalker:

That's 2016. We are in 2019.

kikuyu1:
Wtf,my son!? What kind of man or male of any kind knows even a fraction of this petty air headed S ex and the City type BS??
I doubt even Casper Semenya knows or gives a half rat EFF! Go get yourself a pap smear already and log off!!

If you don't know Diana Byrne, Jennie Bond, Lady Caroline Pearson and Princess Adelaide, I can't take you seriously. You are just a novice. Simply put.

PissedYagami:
hahaha Nigerias life expectancy is 54. Thats why most Nigerians spew nonsense here. Assuming most are in their 20s here that means they are undergoing midlife crisis. And Forgiveness you are in your 40s, that means by Nigerian standards you are old and therefore senile

Kenya life expectancy is 64 years. Same category.

Yobeezy:
Nigerians you like bragging to be the most educated Africans,how has your so called being
most educated assisted you to limp yourselves out of chronic poverty?

I heard 35 million out of 50 million KENYANS are suffering. Is it true?

Jonraid:
It seems that your soldiers rape starving women? Is it true?

Nigeria: Starving women raped by soldiers and militia who claim to be rescuing them

Thousands of women and girls who survived the brutal rule of the Boko Haram armed group have since been further abused by the Nigerian security forces who claim to be rescuing them, said Amnesty International in a new report released today.

"They betrayed us" reveals how the Nigerian military and Civilian Joint Task Force (Civilian JTF) – a militia who work alongside them – have separated women from their husbands and confined them in remote “satellite camps” where they have been raped, sometimes in exchange for food. Amnesty International has collected evidence that thousands of people have starved to death in the camps in Borno state, north-east Nigeria, since 2015.



“It is absolutely shocking that people who had already suffered so much under Boko Haram have been condemned to further horrendous abuse by the Nigerian military,” said Osai Ojigho, Director of Amnesty International Nigeria.

“Instead of receiving protection from the authorities, women and girls have been forced to succumb to rape in order to avoid starvation or hunger.”

In some cases, the abuse appears to be part of a pattern of persecution of anyone perceived to have a connection to Boko Haram. Women reported being beaten and called “Boko Haram wives” by the security officials when they complained about their treatment.

But Kenya is not at war. Why are you hungry?

PetroDollaxx:
Which nonsense logic is that? How can you ask a question like Is Ghana better than South Africa? You went to school, right? First, how do you define “better” so I can give you the answer that you deserve Fuckeduppedness very simple,right?

Is it difficult for you to answer?

tylann:
He thinks every country in Africa is in deep sh1t like Nigeria
If you say anything good about your country
He will go searching for blogs and articles that corresponds with his thinking

It seems you went to bed hungry last night. Is it true?

Why Kenya Slept Hungry Last Year

Carringtone kinyanjui Carringtone kinyanjui

Children in a community outside of Lodwar, Kenya

About three months ago, I got the opportunity to attend a meeting organised by the Kenya National Commission of Science and Technology. It was planned to set research priorities for Kenya for the year 2018/2019. While in a plenary session, a senior government official asked why Kenya should invest in Satellite Technology and yet we still have people dying hungry in Kenya. Before you make quick judgements on the official, I should inform you that he has a PhD in Nuclear Science. He clearly is not ignorant.


I laughed off the question, but considered it as I went home. Like any student of science, I tried to find the answer by asking a more fundamental question: Why did some Kenyans sleep hungry last year? The easy answer to this is that Kenya, like any African country, is poor. I had however long rejected this position. I had come round to the fact that Africa’s economic and political systems are the most responsible for its current state. The detailed discussion of Africa’s systems is out of the scope of this article. However, It helps to understand that Africa is not poor, it’s just poorly organised.

Why?

Why were Kenyans hungry last year? Because there wasn’t enough food in the market.

Why wasn’t there enough food in the market? There wasn’t enough food produced.

Why wasn’t more food imported to cover the decline in production? Because government agencies were not aware there was supressed food production. In fact, the Minister Of Agriculture said that there was a bounty harvest: there was enough maize in the country to last Kenya six months (It lasted us three months at most).


Why did the minister lie in public television? Because he’s a politician (chuckle). Seriously, probably because he was also misinformed.

Why was he lied to? The people working for him had poor data, so they probably made projections. These projections turned out to be catastrophically wrong.


Wait, a government agricultural agency had poor data? Why? Well, because Kenya is this very huge land mass. You can’t just go round asking farmers how many bags of maize they have.

Hmmm…? Kenya is large, huh? How about putting a camera very high, up in space? It can take a selfie of Kenya. That way we can know how much of the land is under the cover of cultivation. That way, we can have a clue of how much food we have.

Wait! That’s exactly what a satellite does!

[b]That way, the questions came full circle. Kenya slept hungry because she had no satellite[/b]s. The specific satellites that are put up in space to take photos of the Earth are known as remote sensing satellites. The United States Department of Agriculture has a robust remote sensing department. The Chinese remote sensing department keeps the Ministry and the Politburo informed about how much food is produced in China.

I accept that it might be difficult, or even impractical for all African countries to fashion satellites and shoot them up to space. However, the African Union can. The African Union can get its member states to create and use satellites in concert. The obvious question then arises. Do we have people who can analyse the images taken and tell us if we are in trouble? The answer, strangely enough, is yes. I have unemployed or under-employed former classmates and friends who would probably have predicted that we were in trouble in early 2017. The lack of a functional and directed national space policy programme was part of the causes of the Kenyan famine of 2017.

I hope that we have learned from our mistakes.

PolymathDave:
the guy no get sense

Very obviously obvious.

tylann:
Use your resources to push Nigerians out of poverty
Your are embrassing africa and africans with your poverty rates

Suffering capital of the world.

Slum capital of the world.

Hunger capital of the world.

PetroDollaxx:
Which nonsense logic is that? How can you ask a question like Is Ghana better than South Africa? You went to school, right? First, how do you define “better” so I can give you the answer that you deserve Fuckeduppedness very simple,right?

Based on your life expectancy logic, Ghana is better than South Africa? Isn't it?

XhosaNostra:
Now you're just being an idiot.

:

vaxx:
And i gave you an indept answer. The word ""better"" is an ambiguous statement use development instead. when you sample low infact mortality rate( a real indicator of life expectancy), Ghana has gotten it far advance than South Africa.

Holistically speaking, I mean based on petrodollars logic.

PetroDollaxx:
You want to provoke me so I will abuse you and your dustbin country,huh? Is Ghana better than South Africa because you have better life expectancy? I will answer you very well. I have been to South Africa so I can compare life in the two countries, by myself. I don’t have to go on the internet to know about life in SA. But first, what exactly do you mean by Is Ghana better than South Africa. Ghana is better than SA in certain areas, and SA is better than Ghana in some areas. So tell me the areas you want me to focus on.

Forget about Nigeria. That country is finished

Based on your logic.

XhosaNostra:
These are our Option B, never firewood. LMAO.

You mean you use these in place of electricity? Especially for those who can't afford it.

XhosaNostra:
Use of firewood where? The only time South Africans use firewood is when they're cooking for traditional ceremonies.
There're other options like solar powered electricity or paraffin stoves (often used to "save" electricity). Most houses have pre-paid electricity, so you buy according to what you can afford.

So electricity is expensive down there!?

PetroDollaxx:
The problem with you Nigerians is that you don’t like to admit the truth even a child born today knows that your country is facing very grave challenges but you will swear to high heavens that all is well. Do you think you are talking to children? We know when things were good in Nigeria and we also know that Nigeria is in big sh1t today you get headache and somebody offers you Panadol and you refuse it, na who cause am? with Buhari back in power, don’t expect any improvements soon. I foresee things are going to get even worse

I also see a spiritual dimension to the Nigerian situation. For a very time, you Nigerians felt you were the best people God created you insulted, denigrated, dehumanized other Africans. Today, God is paying you people back Nigeria did not suddenly find itself in the situation it finds itself today. I have seen a gradual but steady decline in all facets of life in that country since the early 1990s when I first visited Nigeria. The country has deteriorated and continues to deteriorate I do fear it will suddenly explode, leading to refugee crisis in neighboring countries. That is my only concern, otherwise I really don’t give fvck about Nigeria! They are being punished for their past sins!

Save me this epistle? Is Ghana better than South Africa because you have better life expectancy?

Did you confirm Nigeria's life expectancy is 54 years?

vaxx:
Good, from your own very screenshot, the country with high life expectancy shows it has something to do with development . check out Djibouti, check kenya, check out Switzerland, check kosovo. All this give a clear indication it has to do with development. ( though it is not the single measure of development, they are other area we can look at.

if life expectancy is longer in a certain country, it says something about the conditions of the place. It says something about the health factors as well as the quality of life. If the conditions in a country and in its economy are good, obviously the life expectancy will be more.

I asked a simple question. Is Ghana better than South Africa based on this?

PetroDollaxx:
Fuckeduppedness Nigeria’s life expectancy is 54 years? Big lie! The last time I checked it was 46 years, and should have dropped further to 40 years by now? first, how do you define whether one country is “better” than another? What are the things you look for? The number of skyscrapers, expensive cars, the size of its economy........?

Look, let me educate you “small” huh? What makes a country great is not how tall your gele is the numbers of streets that are blocked every week for owambe parties or how much money is available for people to steal,huh? Why do you think Norway is regarded as the richest country in the world? Have you been to Norway before? The infrastructure in Norway is good, but not spectacular. The airport in Oslo is smaller than the one in Accra.

But check out Norway’s ranking on the UN Human Development Index. Look at life expectancy in Norway, access to health care, quality education, unemployment in Norway is negligible education and health care are free in Norway. The government takes good care of its citizens That is what makes a country great, in my opinion

You blind? This is 2018 life expectancy.

PetroDollaxx:
Foolish magg0t you think everyone is like you? You claim to a be a Nigerian, right? How many times have you been to Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja in your miserable life? Who knows you at the Villa? Fuckeduppedness I pity you!

Most of my nigerian friends respect and appreciate me for what I have done for your zoo country

Fuckeduppedness . Compare a $50 billion economy that provides free education, free meals etc to its young children to a 100 trillion dollar economy that is the world capital for poverty people are kidnapped in the 100 trillion-dollar economy for a ransom of a bottle of coke and gala life expectancy is only 46 years in the 100 trillion-dollar economy people eat from dustbins in the 100 trillion-dollar economy

I don’t live in Nigeria, fool. I live at East Legon, Accra. The last time I was in Nigeria was like 5years ago, and I was there for only 48 hours! Who wants to stay in a fvcked up zoo like Nigeria?

You life expectancy is 67 years while that of South Africa is 50 years. Is Ghana better than South Africa?

Even Kenya life expectancy is better than South Africa at 64 years. Is Kenya better than South Africa?


Don't forget Nigeria life expectancy is 54 years?

XhosaNostra:
....

Of course, South Africa win in this one. Keep blushing.

But some of you can't afford it hence the use of firewood for light.

vaxx:
No one ever deny that. since the target is specifically made for african market. Nigeria market demand innovation and brand for it to meet global standard. what is aba shoe standard?

Like this fake ones seized and destroyed in USA, abi?

Nigeria has brands of shoes.

vaxx:
since it doesn't meet with quality assurance test of US. it is fake

That brings you to the conclusion that China produces fake label shoes. Chikena.

vaxx:
Oh gwad. Quality assurance standard (means the product had meet with specification of what is expected of that product, which also include that , it must have valid and authorised backing from the parent company,

According to you based on the bolded, are those Nike made in China fake or not?

vaxx:
Not meeting the quality assurance standard.

You are wrong.

It simply means unauthorized production of goods and items or imitation which tantamount to forgery or fraud. It's also called counterfeit.

China produced Nike products without Nike's endorsement.

So, you were wrong China doesn't use fake labels.

vaxx:
Nothing like original aba shoe, Nigeria market doesn't demand for it. like i said, china shoes mostly found in African market are demands for cheaper counterfeits (i already explain this earlier) and all these fake things are made specifically for african market. tgere is quality assurance standard)and europe and. America take it seriously. china product entering Europe amd America are of high quality becaise they must meet with quality assurance test. most of the china international product are generally nowhere close to the original in terms of brand influence, quality, or even the the confidence they could give, but because all these fancy aspects are stripped off, there is no over-design, all that is left with the product is the very basic supply to what certain customers need, that is, the demand for famous brand but at cheap price regardless of their fake nature.

China is already on par with the Western countries in many fields of innovation and leading in some, example, mobile Internet and many more

What is the meaning of fake to start with?

vaxx:
why don't you do tbe googling

You post it to verify your claim.

vaxx:
in marketing, there is what we called global brand and international brand. (Nike, Adidas, puma etc) are all global brand. so the specification and quality are the same wherever but international brand offer specific specification based on how the local market demand in any of their of outlet branch . Uk shoes will always remain of high quality because that is what Uk market demand while aba product will always remain inferior base on what Nigeria market demand..


The picture below is a man working at Gucci destroying the fake aba gucci product.

Share the link.

vaxx:
China manufacturer works per africa request. Aba works per what Nigeria labour market demand. hadly, we you never see any china shoe with fake labelling, what is the inteligence or smartness in making a shoe in aba with nike or boss logo. Those errors make them hard to sell. If the producer isn't proud of his product so much so he couldn't put his brand name on it, he should have left it blank. the producer is destroying the image of Nigeria

I'd rather buy one with seun or adeyemi on it than this with Nike and Boss at war.

imagine this stupidity of aba shoe manufacturer and compare it with china shoe at 3 and 4 picture below

Are you telling me China is not guilty of what you wrote in the bolded?

As a told you, there are original Aba made shoes.

Why did El Rufia choose a Muslim as his deputy Governor?

Is he nursing the ambition of becoming the Vice President?

Is he wishing Buhari death so that he can take the Vice President just as Sambo?

In this case, Is he trying hard not to allow the senerio a Christian becomes the governor of Kaduna hence the need to choose a Muslim as candidate?
