Actually you should care - look like in 2014 with OIL BOOM you had 7.5M - and now it's going down to 6M - as oil recession bites.

You know in 2014 - JKIA carried less than 4M passengers.

By the time we speak next year - JKIA will be approaching 10M - and LAGOS - with oil crash - will be approaching 4m.

Because we built 5 new international airports.

Despite that, MMIA still beat your one and only big for nothing international airport in regards to the busiest in Africa 2018. That is the Koko.

NairobiWalker:
14M serving 200M people against 10M serving 48M people. Btw, JKIA has been hitting 1M passengers per month in some months this year. The figures are going to be big, definitely over 8M, probably over 9M.

What is 14m serving 200m?


We don't have one international airport like Kenya does.

We have 7 international airports. 4 are major airports.

Kenya has one international airport serving 60m people. Bhuhahahaha!

NairobiWalker:
....which year's figures do you have sir?

2018 of course.

rvp2018:
Find us proper CREDIBLE links - not google list that anybody can spawn.

LAGOS got nothing on Nairobi's JKIA. And Nairobi still has Wilson Airport which is our second busiest for domestic flights.

Kenya is miles ahead of Nigeria in Aviation. Try compete in Yams and such tubers.

We are talking facts here.


MMIA airport is the fifth busiest in Africa this year 2018. Stop deceiving yourself here.

Just take a look at it again.

rvp2018:
Nigeria should not be in this conversation - you got power blackouts even in the airports
We moved to become a world class Airport. You think KQ would be flying people to Nairobi hub that was bad.
We recently went for global talent and recruited a Nowergian to lead our airports - we jumped from your average airport to world class airport - just 2 yrs - and 2018 we are most improved Airport. Airport is not business Nigerian can hack - first hack stable electricity.

And next year our airports will be turned over to KQ - who will make them truly world class.

Yours will be world class next year while Nigeria's airport already became world class. Dreamer!

Thanks.

rvp2018:
We are in 2018 - and JKIA is approaching 1M passengers per month - per annum - you're looking at 12M passenger soon.
https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2018/10/04/jkia-passenger-numbers-rise-as-nyc-direct-flights-beckon_c1829073

And our next biggest Airport is Moi Interntional Airport - Mombasa. Then Kisumu. Then Eldoret. Then Malindi. Then so many others.

Our 2017 figures are here.

This is 2018. MMIA airport has more passengers than JKAI airport. EOD

Jonraid:
Which Nigerian airline flies to USA?

Arik air did that before they suspended it. They will resume next year.

rvp2018:
What your source wikipedia. Kenya's 85B was last year - Kenya economy. This year 2018 - we will hit 90B - we are just waiting for final Qs figures.
Nigeria economy - depending on which exchange rate you take - CBN(305) or market (365) - GDP is 320 to around 370. If we use the real BLACK market exchange rate - like 450 naira to a dollar - ohoo boy - you overcooked GDp collapse to 250B or about

I can't read lies until you show me your source. Until then, just keep quiet. Thanks

rvp2018:
Keep googling. JKIA carries more than 7M passengers. Don't even go to CARGO - it probably Africa biggest cargo airport . JKIA is airpolis - Nigeria has small airports.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_busiest_airports_in_Africa

Are we in 2017?

Shine your eyes, Mr. We are in 2018 and Nigeria MMIA is busier than your one and only big for nothing international airport. Bhuhahahaha!


If we use only MMIA as the only gate way to Nigeria like you have only JKAi as the only major gateway to Kenya, Lagos should be number 1 in Africa.

We have 7 international airports in Nigeria. 4 are major airports.

rvp2018:
What is you GDP using market rate (USD 1:365 naira) now. And what is your nominal GDP now.

Let me help you around 320B. Divided by 198M. Nominal GDP 1,610USd. If you use Gov exchange rate 370B (per capita is 1860).

Kenya GDP is roughly now 90B against pop of 48M - our per capita is nearly 1900USd.

And ours is NOT COOKED. Yours OVER-COOKED.

We have gone through the spending - revenue several times - your federal+state budget total is now around 41B dollars - our total budget National+counties - is around 35-36B.

And you can imagine you got 4 times the population and twice the land mass to cover - with ABOUT the same money in gov coffers.

And now oil is crashing - you'll be crying tears for long time.

Who cooked up your GDP? I know your government lied to you and I can see you are one master of liars.

First of all, you lied with figure of Nigeria's GDP by reducing it and you also lied by inflating Kenya's GDP. liar. Lying can't change your low level status.

Lastly, our budget is 4 times of that of Kenya. We have given you verifiable facts to that effect. Whether you believe or not is not anyone's cup of coffee. Bhuhahahaha.

obaaderemi:
I think we are even bringing ourselves down by rubbing shoulders with them. Honestly, Nigeria has failed woefully due to its governance problems but this thread has really exposed Kenya despite their small size and relative political calm. They didn't suffer any coup or civil war! But Nigeria can come out of this mess. How? Young Nigerians are more aware than before, our economy is arguably Africa's largest(heck, Lagos's economy alone puts Kenya to shame), our education is being upgraded (ordinary Covenant university, a private entity in Ogun state is ranked higher than all Kenyan universities), there's more attention paid to infrastructure and corruption though hydra headed is gradually being checked. In short Nigerians are now asking question like not before. China used to have about 80% poverty rate in the 70s but look where they are today. The secret? Education and awareness. Nigeria is down but we are not out.. Clearly, no African country has potential like Nigeria. The cup is half full. If not serious insecurity, what would make grown men waste so much time on a Nigerian site all the way from east Africa. Don't you see how early they wake up to come to nairaland and how late they stay every night? This means a lot to them; To rub shoulders with Nigerians.

You are right on point. Our country is very young due to long time bad governance yet Nigeria is still miles ahead of Kenya who has never witnessed anything like civil war or military regime.


Can you please show me the source that rated Coventry university above all the universities in Kenya? Thanks

rvp2018:
Do you just build empty large airports or you build AIRPORTS BASED ON REALISTIC PASSENGER PROJECTIONS. That is what we do. Airports or stadiums are not grandiose white-elephant - they are smart investment- Maiduguru International Airport - when will a flight land there.

Isn't why you're poor despite all the oil. You build grandiose projects when you have 14m passengers.

Wajir airport or Lokichoggio airstrip are probably busier than most of your airports.

You are right, you don't just build empty airports, that is why KENYA can't afford to build more than one international airport in NAIROBI for the whole of Kenya.

This is not good for your country willing to meet up with South Africa who has 4 airports among the biggest/largest airports in Africa. Bhuhahahaha!

Mind you, only 3 South Africa's airports are bigger than MMIA yet MMIA has more passengers than the third one while Abuja airport has more passengers than the 10th biggest airport in Africa which happens to be in South Africa.

Your one and only big for nothing airport is now dragging with Abuja airport in term of passengers.

You are a learner, my friend. This is not one Masai data.

Besides, Maiduguri airport is a local airport and has more passengers than your Kisumu cyber cafe sorry airport. Bhuhahahaha!

rvp2018:
And you think somehow JKIA figures for 2017 dropped dead - you are never going to catch up with JKIA soon.

Who cares?

As at now, Nigeria airport receives more passengers than Kenya's airport. That is what is on ground now. Kiss the truth.

By the way, see what Lagos airport received in 2016.

rvp2018:
Nigeria - don't know start on Aviation.

JKIA - carries more passengers than any Nigeria airport.

2018 ACI - Nairobi (JKIA) won the Most Improved Airport in Africa (all categories).

JKIA won Best Airport in Africa and 38th globally - according to AirHelp Worldwide.

Don't start on airport sector - Nigeria is totally crap.

Is your airport among the biggest/largest in Africa?

Well, our airports are now bigger than your one and only big for nothing airport.

Yours is 9th on the list. Down the pecking order.

rvp2018:
Which is why I started from ACI - which ranked JKIA - the most Improved in all categories. And the boko-haram prone Abuja was ranked the most improve safetywise

The most improved means it was really useless and bad airport.

NairobiWalker:
......and your source is a blog by a boy who blogs about everything to get traffic?

Here is the list by airmundo. If you doubt MMIA figures bring us the actual source from your airports body.

Where is your airport among the top 7 busiest airports in Africa? Bhuhahahaha!

rvp20183:
When you factor pop Kenya beat Nigeria in everything.In something's without even factoring population disparity Kenya beat Nigeria too.That is how badly the zoo is doing.I think as of now our GDP per capital has exceeded Nigeria. You have nearly the same gov spending as kenya so how can you build or mantain infrastructure better than kenya.

Yes! That happened only in your fantasy.


What is Kenya's yearly spending? Let us finish this debate once and for all.

obaaderemi:
The yeye Nairobi airport just achieved Category One status this year. You need to see how this little achievement was celebrated with fanfare by the little Indians. Before then only 4 African countries had category 1 status, Nigeria, Ethiopia, cape Verde and South Africa.

Chineke! Just dis year and the lying mofos want us to believe NAIROBI airport is the best in Africa.

Honestly, these Kenyans here are bunch of liars seeking for cheap relevance. We should keep exposing them.

rvp20183:
Best improved in Safety is not the same with Best in terms of Safety.Go back to School.They will rank you the Best Improved Learner..if you just put some little effort but youll never be the best Learner.

What a lame point.

What did your NAIROBI airport win? Nothing.

gallivant:
No, lying fool. We want you to be unique and creative.
Like this...

















..

Kenyans here are epitome of liar.

See the awards you received for lies. It is so long.

tylann:
give me the list of worst airports in 2018 i show you something

Are you afraid to show it?


Lying machine. No Nigerian airport is among the worst airport in 2018 according to ACI. Stop fooling yourself.

Nairobi airport is among the worst airport in Africa. Is that what you saw?

tylann:
there is a reason why Nigerian airports never miss worst airport list in Africa i bet you have never seen a Kenya airport among worst airport list

Keep lying to yourselves. Nigeria airport was never ranked among worst by ACI which is the most recognised. That is the truth. Except you want to prove otherwise with a reliable source.

Abuja airport is best airport in Africa in terms of safety. This is according to ACI 2018 pronouncement. Shame fall on you.

darfay:
very weak comeback. We have waaay better airports


Nigeria's new kid "green Africa airways" is set to rule the African skies as it has placed the single largest aircraft order from Africa ( 100 Boeing 737 Max 8 jet)

Wow! This green Africa airways are really serious. I hope Arik air is reorganized again.

gallivant:
First of all, Singapore doesn't deserve your delusions. Second, only a fool would want their country to be like Emirates or Dubai. You can't walk without crawling, South Africa is the legitimate option here. Let's not get carried away Runalong333, South Africa will deport you back to Enugu.

Really!? But you double face Kenyans wants Nigeria to be like Dubai,. Bhuhahahaha!

TayserMahiri:
Kenya beat you on all indices. The only thing you beat Kenya with is GDP, breeding like rats, bleaching and scamming.

We have seen reports that proved you are below the pecking order. Sorry.

68816419:
forgiveness has shown you with facts that we have far more paved and better roads than kenya, he has shown you how much better our service sectors are to yours, our economy dwarfs yours, we have more indigenous rich people, have more ranked unis than yours, you don't even dare comparing your small country with ours in entertainment, sports, economy, industries, planned cities, infrastructure, agriculture, technology, Banks,wide spread development, tourism and many others. how then have u proven to us u r better than us, you guys need to stop beeing self delusional.

These Kenyans are deluded. There's nowhere they have proven to be better rather we beat them in all indices.

However, one part of me is telling me they know the truth but shame no gree dem submit to dem elder.

They are pretenders. Lying to gain by force relevance. Shame on them!

Runalong333:
I'm not a refugee , I'm an expat . Refugee is synonymous with Kenya and East Africa. Get that through your head . A zoo which is the biggest economy in Africa, with the richest black people in the world right

That's true. And they can even lie to be gay just to get the status of REFUGEES.
