Don't bring those two Kenyan boxers on the table because the first one an Amateur champion while the second one is a female small champion that can easily be knocked out by Ijeoma "The Praise" Egbunine a female boxer who is currently the WBE Light Heavyweight World Champion and WIBF Light Heavyweight World Champion grin

Kenya wins 80℅ of all the major middle and long distance competitions consistently. We are number 7 in the world on Rugby 7s. We've won numerous medals in cricket, swimming etc. I don't know of any major Nigerian boxer, weightlifter or taekwondo fighter and even if there's one then he's just a one hit wonder - boxing and weightlifting is mostly associated with Eastern Europe and America while martial arts is a Far East thing. You're simply telling me that Nigeria does not dominate in ANY sport in the world.
Hehehehe! grin You have just mentioned 5 categories of sports. What did Kenya win in cricket and swimming?

grin it is time to bust bubbles. grin

Olympic is for the Amateurs and not for the champions because most of the sport associations have their own major competitions. grin

Sports in the Olympics are divided into categories as you can see in the snapshot and the one who wins in the major competitions across these sports is the Champion. grin

Although, Kenya has won more medals in the 'Amateur Olympics' mainly in the Athletics, but Nigeria has won medals across 5 major sports, Athletics, Boxing, Football, Weightlifting and Taekwondo. grin


Now, let us move beyond Amateurish to professionalism. grin


What has Kenya won at the highest level in Boxing than Nigeria?

Guy if am must confess, in Abuja, we can't really say maitama is more expensive than Asokoro or even Wuse 2. It all depends on where you are buying the land in those areas. So bringing Lagos and banana Island to it also makes it more complicated. That is why they say banana Island is most expensive Estate but not most expensive area cos the expensive areas in Abuja are not Estates.
Banana Island is not an estate, it's an island which is also part of Ikoyi.

Banana-island mansions

You didn't get my message clearly. And Ikoyi is not the most expensive area in Nigeria.

Then tell me, where is the most expensive area in Nigeria?

That's what am proving to you. Some parts of Maitama is more expensive than the banana Island.
First of all, you agreed that Banana estate is the most expensive housing estate but you disagreed that it is the most expensive area because Maitama_District is bigger than Banana Island. But I said no, Ikoyi is the most expensive area in Nigeria because many expensive Estates are located in Ikoyi including Banana Island. Now, you are saying some part of Maitama is more expensive than Banana Island.

Please, tell me that part and the amount to buy a plot of land.

Please, take that the mansions in ikoyi are built on acres and not one plot of land

Have you asked yourself where those people stay in Abuja? Banana Island can be the most expensive house estate but maitama is a whole area comprising of several areas and Estates. Areas in Maitama include ministers Hill, Gana Street, FHA, etc. I mean very big and you can still separate rich men from wealthy men from the same maitama. There are some areas in Maitama that you just find only mansions. Most of the people in Banana Island still own houses in Abuja.
Banana Island is a part of Ikoyi and ikoyi is where all the billionaires and politheifcian in Nigeria lives. It is most expensive area in Nigeria and Africa.


The whole area of Ikoyi comprises of the newer suburbs of Banana Island, Parkview Estate, Dolphin Estate, Abacha estate, Osborne Foreshore phase 1, Osborne phase 2, Old Ikoyi, Falomo, Awolowo Rd, Mojisola Onikoyi estate and other luxurious blocks of flats that are springing up etcetera.




Ikoyi has some of the most opulent residential facilities in Nigeria, and is thought to have the most expensive real estate on the entire African continent, with the average new apartment selling for US$1 million. However, due to the limited available land, many of these are vertical apartment buildings.

10 Most-Expensive Luxury Real Estate Locations In Nigeria

century21global.com
Demand for luxury real estate is growing in Nigeria, and so are prices.

Data from PrivateProperty.com.ng, Nigeria’s largest property portal, was used to identify 10 of the most-expensive luxury real estate locations in Nigeria, according to VenturesAfrica.

Buyers of these luxury residences are mainly expatriates and non-residents operating businesses in Nigeria, the report said. Most residents cannot afford properties in these areas.

Nigeria’s capital city, Lagos has four of the 10 most-expensive locations. Abuja has three. Ibadan, Abeokuta and Port Harcourt also made the list with some of the most expensive properties in the country. There are other places in Nigeria with expensive property that are not listed here, the report said.

10. Ibara in Abeokuta (Ogun State) – 80 million naira/$500,000
High prices are forcing many out of the Lagos real estate market, VenturesAfrica reports. Abeokuta’s real estate market is growing fast as people look to outlying locations outside Lagos.

9. Alalubosa GRA in Ibadan (Oyo State) – 100 million naira/$625,000
Ibadan has been regarded by some as the most underdeveloped city in the world, but is started living up to its potential in the past few years.

8. Lekki Scheme I, Lekki (Lagos State) – 140 million naira/$875,000
The island of Lekki has been home to some of the most expensive property in Lagos, but demand for more luxury has pushed it down to No. 8 on this list, the report said. You can buy property for $875,000 in Lekki.

7. GRA Phase 2 in Port Harcourt (Rivers State) – 145 million naira/$906,250
Port Harcourt is home to many expatriates, many of whom work for oil companies in this
oil-rich city. Other buyers here include wealthy individuals who want to keep their money locally.

6. Ikeja GRA, in Ikeja (Lagos State) – 250 million naira/$1,562,500
Ikeja GRA is an integral part of the suburb of Ikeja. The GRA, or government reservation area, was created during the colonial period as a high-end residential area. Many wealthy Nigerians who want the quiet life choose this area and don’t mind paying $1.5 million or more to get it. You’d find several expats here to, VenturesAfrica reports.

5. Nicon Town in Lekki (Lagos State) – 320 million naira/$2,000,000
Nicon Town in Lekki is one of the emerging real estate markets in Lagos, with property costing more than $2 million.

4. Jabi in Abuja (Federal Capital) – 400 million naira/$2,500,000
Nigeria’s capital city comes in at No. 4 with property at Jabi costing at least $2.5
million. Many Nigerian politicians have homes in this area.

3. Asokoro in Abuja (Federal Capital) – 418 million naira/$2,612,500
One of the major districts in Abuja, Asokoro is an upscale area. It is home to the Nigerian Presidential Complex aka State House; Aso Rock (a 400-meter rock monolith and the city’s most noticeable feature); the Economic Community of West African States, (ECOWAS), National Intelligence Agency and the World Health Organization (WHO) office. Residential property is expensive here.

2. Maitama in Abuja (Federal Capital) – 430 million naira /$2,687,500
An area occupied by embassies and high commissions, Maitama ranks No. 2 on this list. Property here can cost $2.7 million or more.

1. Banana Island in Lagos (Lagos State) – 450 million naira ($2.81 million)
A man-made island in the Lagos Lagoon, Banana Island is slightly curved in shape – like a banana. It has one of Nigeria’s highest densities of millionaires within its boundaries, VenturesAfrica reports.

A three-bedroom apartment typically sells for $625,000 on Banana Island and a five-bedroom house can cost $2.81 million. Due to the cost of property, rentals are popular here. Rent for a three-bedroom apartment can go as high as $63,000 per year.

Banana Island residents include billionaire Mike Adenuga, chairman of Globacom; and Iyabo Obasanjo, daughter of a former Nigerian president.
Other notable island residents include offspring of famous Nigerians including Kola Abiola, son of the popular late businessman Moshood Kashimawo Olawale “MKO” Abiola; and Saayu Dantata, son of the late Alhassan Dantata, a Northern Nigerian kola nut seller and considered the wealthiest man in West Africa at the time of his death in 1955.

The first car produced in Africa with almost 100% African technology was produced by a Nigerian.

The Izuogu Z-600 prototype was the first indigenous Nigerian car, and the first automobile of indigenous all-African technology. It was the brainchild of engineer Ezekiel Izuogu. Launched in 1997, the car caused a stir in the Nigerian media, and was touted by the then Nigerian chief of Staff General Oladipo Diya.


But something happened and it could not.... cry

You're just re-badging cars made in China. Got it. South Africa, Morroca,Algeria, Egypt and Tunisia will all it advance car manufacturing cannot make their own car...leave alone Nigeria.

Kenya car manufacturing is definitely ahead of Nigeria.

Here is great design from great nigeria and ghana. You give Africans a very bad reputation. Ghanian one is designed by an apostle and Nigeria one by a second hand car parts dealer grin grin

Jelani Aliyu, hails from Sokoto State, Nigeria and is General Motors Lead Exterior Designer and the designer of the Chevy Volt. General Motors is the world’s largest automobile maker. The car has been described as an American Revolution and one of the hottest concepts in the design line.

Jelani was born in 1966 in Kaduna, to Alhaji Aliya Haidara and Sharifiya Hauwa’u Aliyu

My final verdict on the strength of MNCs owned by Nigerians and Kenyans in every sectors which includes Oil and gas, Banking, Insurance, Retail, Hospitality, FCMG, Telecommunication, Technology, Engineering, etc is that Nigeria is ahead of Kenya in every sector of MNCs except Hospitality and.... . grin

First of all, let us start with Oil and gas.

OIL AND GAS

Kenya's best oil and gas company Kenolkobil, is the only MNCs in this sector with operations only in 11 African (majorly East Africa and South Africa) countries while Nigeria on the other hand has more MNCs in this sector with operations not only in Africa but Europe and America at large, giving them a global out look.

Oando Plc( West Africa, Toronto, USA, Joburg, South Africa and Nigeria),

Sahara group (Nigeria, U.K, Switzerland, U.A.E, Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire, Singapore),

Conoi plc,

Fort oil(Nigeria Ghana, London etc),

Erin petroleum Co (USA, China, Nigeria, Ghana and Gambia even Kenya),

Heyden( Nigeria, United Kingdom, Dubai, UAE, Cape Town, South Africa),

Obat Oil ( Europe and Africa)

NNPC
NLNG

TKO Nigeria won this contest



TELECOMMUNICATIONS

Safaricom is only a Kenyan based company while Glo mobile operations are in Nigeria, Ghana, Benin and Cote D'Ivoire.

Glo network also covers 170 countries in roaming services.

We still have Ntel and visafone

TKO Nigeria won again



BANKING


In Banking, Kenya KCB and Equity, Kenya's largest banks have operations in 7 & 6 countries in Eastern Africa respectively while Nigeria has many of its bank in many African countries and outside Africa. e.g

FirstBank is the biggest bank in Nigeria by total deposits and gross earnings and operates a network of over 750 business locations across Africa, the United Kingdom and representative offices in Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Johannesburg, South Africa, DR Congo, Ghana, Sierra Leon, Guinea, France and Senegal.

United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, is one of Africa's leading banking Groups with operations in 19 African countries and offices in three global financial centers: London, Paris and New York.

Zenith Bank maintains subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Ghana, Sierra Leone and The Gambia, South Africa and China.

Access Bank Group; Nigeria, Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Rwanda, the Gambia, Sierra Leone, Zambia and the United Kingdom.[1] As of December 2015, Access Bank Group had assets in excess of US$13 billion.

GTBank plc has 231 branches, 17 Cash Centres, 18 e-branches, 35 GTExpress locations and more than 1165 ATMs in Nigeria. GTBank has expanded to Cote d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda. These countries belong to the "Eco zone". It has also expanded to the United Kingdom. With the acquisition of a 70 per cent stake in Fina Bank GTBank expanded into the East African market as at December 2013. As a consequence, Fina Bank will now be renamed and rebranded as subsidiaries of GTB and.

These are just few among many.

Kenya banks have been overwhelmed by Nigerian banks

TKO Nigeria's banks won again.


INSURANCE

Britam group, à company offering insurance, asset management, banking and property investment has operations in 7 countries (Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Malawi, Rwanda and Mozambique) in Eastern and Southern Africa.

While.......
Industrial and General Insurance Company Plc is a leading provider of insurance and risk management services in West Africa. IGI is a large insurance services provider in Nigeria and through its subsidiaries, in Ghana, the Gambia, Rwanda and Uganda, London, UK and Washington, DC,USA, has a global company outlook than its Kenyan counterpart.

In addition, NICON Insurance with operations in Nigeria, Sao Tome and Principal, and London, UK.

MUTUAL is the flagship of insurance in Nigeria and runs a full-fledged insurance operation in Liberia and Republic of Niger

Continental Reinsurance has six client service centres in Nigeria, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Kenya, Tunisia and Botswana. From our Nigerian headquarters, we have grown a diversified portfolio in more than 44 countries, adding value wherever we go, and developing enduring partnerships premised on ‘Pan-African commitment made local’.


Another TKO, Nigeria won the insurance sector.



TECHNOLOGY

I don't know much about Kenya's Technology but looking at Nigeria's list of technology companies, it is intimidating. Nevertheless, until the Kenyans on this platform provides a more reputable ones than the ones Nigeria has, I will say it is walk over.


Interswitch is an Africa-focused integrated digital payments and commerce company that facilitates the electronic circulation of money as well as the exchange of value between individuals and organisations on a timely and consistent basis. It has operations in Nigeria, Uganda and Kenya. grin

MainOne” also known as “Main One Cable” or “Main One”) is a leading provider of innovative telecom services and network solutions for businesses in West Africa,and with operations in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Mauritius and Portugal. TKO


TKO again. Nigeria won the technology contest. grin

To be continued.... grin

If there is any our Kenya brothers doesn't agree let them point it out. grin

@Proudlykenyan how market. Do you still believe Kenya dominates in the banking sector?

More is coming to hit you hard tomorrow. grin

Kenya Airways is one of Africa's largest airline company with operations in almost every African capital (44 destinations in Africa, 10 destinations in Asia and America 54 in total)

While Nigeria also have some major players in this sector

Arik air is the largest airline in Nigeria and it is privately owned by Nigerians. It flies to 15 destinations across Africa, Europe and America.


Med View airways is also a privately owned by Nigerians with operations in Europe, Africa and Asia. London, UK, Jebbah and

Slok air was initially established in Nigeria before it was relocated to Gambia. Its destinations are, Ghana, Sierra Leon, Guinea, Senegal, Cote D'Ivoire, Liberia, Mali and Cote D'Ivoire.


Kenya won it

Nigeria has a lot of companies plying the west Africa corridors. ABC transport; Ghana, Togo, Nigeria and Benin

Cross Country transport limited; Ghana, Togo, Nigeria and Benin

Chisco Transport; Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria

Young shall grow transport; Ghana, Togo, Benin, Mali, Burkina Faso, Cote D'Ivoire and Nigeria

Until I see Kenyans MNCs in this sector, it is a walk over

Nigeria won

Holistically speaking, Nigeria has edge over Kenya because both are developed in Nigeria.

Therefore, Nigeria won the Transportation sector.



RETAIL

In this sector, Kenya has two MNCs in this sector.

Nakumatt is the largest retailers from Kenya have operations in 6 (mostly East African) countries and
Tuskys which is one of the large supermarket chains in the Great Lakes Area. Kenya and Uganda to be specific.

While Nigeria has two types of shopping malls, the online shopping and the normal shopping.

JUMIA is a Nigerian online shopping site for a wide range of electronics, fashion, home appliances and kid’s items. As of 2015, Jumia has warehouses in ten other countries, including: Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, Cote d'Ivoire, Uganda, Ghana, Cameroon, United Kingdom, Tanzania and Angola.

Konga is also a Nigerian online shopping site. It has warehouses in Nigeria and Ghana.

Silverbird group has a retail stores in Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya.

Nigeria won this one too.


QSR


I don't know much about Kenyan Quick service restaurant and that will bring to conclusion that Nigeria is ahead.

Chicken Republic is a Nigerian quick service restaurant with operations in Nigeria and Ghana.


Nigeria won again.


To be continued.
From what I am seeing here Nigeria is on top.
I want our Kenyan brothers to do the remaining sectors. FCMG, Hospitality, Business, Construction/Engineering and whichever sector you feel is missing.

Let us settle the scores. Once and for all. grin

Kenyanstar:
Am not surprised with your view as a Nigerian, since the usual mantra with Naija is solely blaming the white man for all their problems. Case in point is in 1960's when Nigeria got its independence from colonial rule, the white men left infrastructure, rule of law, institutions and working systems. A decade later the Nigeria and most countries in Africa are we knew were in shambles. Neo- colonialism took charge from post-colonialism, the Africans became more resource hungry than the whites while ruining the countries systems, living destroyed infrastructure and throwing the rule of law and order to the dustbins. What the colonialists built in 50yrs was destroyed in 10yrs, successive coups and tribalism are the order of the day while corruption and nepotism have been indoctrinated into the system.
Unless we as Africans stop blaming the Oyinbo man for all our failures either past or presnt we will never move forward but always finger point. Kenya as a society has accepted and embraced diversity in its society, a shift in the general population due to intermarriages beyond tribe and race has reset the Kenyan society to spur economic and social development. This is the reason why you find both white, indian and arab working in the Kenyan civil service, armed forces and private sector.
NIGERIANS PLEASE KNOW THAT OTHER COUNTRIES CAN LIVE TOGETHER AS ONE.
Well, I am not into this white or black talks but I will like to correct the part you said white let infrastructures, institutions, rule of law and working system in Nigeria before independent. Maybe they did that in South Africa and Kenya but I want to plainly say that they left nothing except railway.


Which infrastructures are you talking about?

How many 8 lanes highways or 2 lanes road did they construct before post independent?

How many bridges did they built across major rivers?

How many universities did British build?

How many intercity highways did the British build?

How many standard and well planned cities did the British left us?

How many airports did the British build?

How many, how many...?

I can go on and on and on.

The answer is the British built NON OF ALL I MENTIONED. Surprised?


What kind of institutions, rule of law and working system did they leave behind?

Institutions built on corruption, rule of law built on corruption and nepotism, and working system built for failure.
All dey did was for themselves.

Now, watch the video and you will know they had no intention of doing all those things you mentioned.
