Take the picture of lagos ''that I know'' and compare it with Pretoria see pretoria pictures

Hmmmm...I give that one to port Harcourt and not Lagos....for Lagos it's only Johannesburg

Oxtonguy:
So ur lame claim is now logic,i won't rub lagos in mud by comparing it with nairobi economy i compare lagos with the whole of kenya .....LAGOS GDP....$91 BILLION.....KENYA GDP.....$146 BILLION....LAGOS GDP PER CAPITA.....$4,333....KENYA GDP PER CAPITA....$3,304 with that kenya economy is slightly bigger than a city in nigeria and lagos has better economy than the whole of kenya not just nairobi because it GDP PER CAPITAL IS HIGHER THAN KENYAs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagos-State https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy-of-Kenya.html

Mistake,their economy is not even up to that of Lagos,Kenya is 69billion dollar

Boyedex:
[b]Actually from these pictures, Abuja looks like Cape Town. The Bloemfontein you posted looks like Kano. Yes nigga was right. Lagos comes only after Jo'burg on the continent, it's a well publicized fact.

All those small cities you mentioned can never be as influential as Lagos, a city's influence doesn't centre around buildings and tourism alone (which Lagos too as its fair share), you have to talk economy, arts, media, siting of multinationals, financial institutions and headquarters, commerce, fashion and entertainment, airports and seaports, culture and sports etc. If you have been to these two cities; London and Atlanta or even LA, you'd know that the later cities are highly developed with regards to tall buildings and super highways compared to London. London only has 18 buildings taller than 100m compared to 35 in LA. But you know what? They aren't still as influential as London. In America, only New York rivals London. London without much skyscrapers as LA or New York still houses the biggest and the most financial institutions on the globe. It is a world Fashion and Entertainment Capital alongside Paris, the culture and the monarchy have so much influence that transcends the Americas.

Lagos is in an analogous position on the continent. Like in London where the skyscrapers are not concentrated in just one place( Canary Wharf and the main City), Lagos has concentration of highrises in Lagos Island, Victoria Island, Ikeja and now, the developing Eko City. Lagos has a monarchy, one of the most respected in Nigeria. Lagos is the fashion and entertainment capital of the continent with the annual Lagos Fashion and Design Week usually broadcast on the continent and in Europe. Lagos Commerce is just too big.

Media, one of Nigeria's strongest points all have a huge concentration in Lagos. She probably has the highest number of multinationals on the continent only second to Jo'burg. Lagos is art and culture, the yearly December count down, Eyo festivals and modern carnivals come to mind. Lagos is sports with 3 stadia, annual hosting of beach soccer, basketball tournaments, indoor games such as the largest monopoly tournament on the continent etc. Lagos, with two airports, has a third one underway at the Lekki Peninsula.

Abuja is to Nigeria, what Pretoria is to SA. Abuja has a big political influence on the continent alongside Pretoria and Addis Ababa. I dare say in recent years, Abuja has the biggest. The UN has often lined up behind Abuja on major African issues than Pretoria. Abuja and Pretoria are still neck on neck over who represents Africa on the continent. It's not a small plight.

Back to Lagos, she will continue to be more influential than those smaller SA cities. Jo'burg is the only and biggest competitor. Over the coming years, the picture will be clearer. Just keep your fingers crossed.[/b]

That's what dey call hitting the bull eye....cities is not about skyscrapers or what you used in judging but how economical and influential it is...Lagos is home to the biggest entertainment industry in Africa... only Johannesburg is ahead of Lagos...the rest are too small and Lagos cab even swallow some....and Kenyan should compare Nairobi to Abuja and not too Lagos....Lagos is too much for y'all

Lemme give you stats of both schools based on times higher education...
University of Ibadan Nigeria
Nairobi university Kenya

Adding to that is except Capetown university with 12:1 teacher to ratio...our university is the second with 17.2:1...

NairobiWalker:
It is for ranking universities dude. lol - who told you 4icu is the only one ranking universities? We also have Webometrics that had 1 kenyan university in the top ten (no Nigerian) and several in the top 100. See for yourself.

http://www.webometrics.info/en/Ranking_africa

Shut up...how many Kenya universities is in top 100 and check that of Nigeria...and there is consistency with that of Nigeria...except Nairobi... which other university do you have high up in the ranking....the gap between Nigerian universities is consistent while yours isn't......what of South Africa with 10 in top 20...you have only one and you are shouting....Biko....how many students can that university of Nairobi admit...

Your best university is in number 8,i admit is awesome but your number 2 is in 28 while number 3 is in 51...can you see that... everything is based on Nairobi while Nigeria is evenly shared...check times higher edition,africa ranking,and 4icu...

PissedYagami:
You know Tupac is like the greatest hip hop artist of all time, and I am sure there are many other great reggae artists. From a Soutj African view he was great but from the worlds view he was like any other reggae musician
Yvonne was good however

That's the man that never lived to see his greatness....he's the one of the most influential anf greatest artist of all time....but he couldn't live to see it....never new he's a South african....

NairobiWalker:
I'm sorry but do you have anything between your ears bro? Those prices are the minimum in this estates. Learn how to read my friend. You can't be both ignorant and poor in comprehension.

And you also need not to hurl words to prove a point....that has been an iasue since the beginning of this thread....
I love Africa...and 2 things I envy about SA is schooling and there bombastic 45kmegawatts power generation while Kenya is about their almost 24/7 electricity and low poverty rate.....

But all the way without those...nothing else...I'm a naija...always will be a naija....no need to fight bro

The wise is not the one that wins the argument but one that avoids it

NairobiWalker:
Nairobi and Mombasa have ranked among the top ten most vibrant cities IN THE WORLD in real estate my friend. Do your research well. Muthaiga is more expensive than ANY residential area in Nigeria and Upper Hill is more expensive than ANY commercial area in Nigeria. I can keep giving you sources all day all night. See this one here too...

https://venturesafrica.com/five-african-countries-that-offer-the-greatest-investment-opportunities-in-real-estate/

Lol... Nigeria real estate is still more expensive than yours given the two links you provided...Nigeria is third and fourth while you are behind....

Pheeknow:
To be less than 50?? or what are you saying??

People Sha...less than 50k...

naijalander:
You are a clown.

Do cars not generally have similar designs?

VW owns: Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini and Porsche, designs are bound to be similar.

If you had to design a car now, odds are you would using an existing template.

Leave the haters alone...don't you watch f1,or moto go or you haven't played asphalt 8,or real racing 3 or gt racing 2......most companies even refined cars bases on existing models...these guy just can't accept that innosson is the first black car manufacturer worldwide......

ProudlyKenyan:
Nigeria designing a car . How comes the design is similar to Kantaka of Ghana. There are lies and damn nigeria lies. You are not designing or making any car. 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
https://www.kantanka.com/images/Cars%20Line%20up.jpg

Now this car designed in and for Africa. I can tell you the car designer of Mobius worked formally for Ford &VW . Nigeria re-badgers previous experience is maybe selling fake china phones.
https://www.mobiusmotors.com/media/images/accordion_customers.jpg

Stories meant for the gods....Biko
Either you like it or not,not a single company produces car in Kenya.... innosson produces car not assemble...they have a factory where mosta parts re made except engine and engine will soon be made locally by 2020....so why are you hating.... innosson makes luxurious buses...you think it's easy....gerrarahere Biko...your country not doing such doesn't mean others can't and moreover it's not only innosson ,there also proforce...so you can accept or die trying

ProudlyKenyan:
Going back to Made in Nigeria Innoson motors; here is another fake one in Ghana - with similar lo0ks.
Kantanka. Only in Nigeria and maybe Ghana would people believing re-badging cars wholly made in China - can become made in Nigeria or Ghana.
https://blogs-images.forbes.com/faraigundan/files/2015/01/Kantanka-Ghana.jpg?width=1280&height=868

Bad Belle is allowed....Kenya can also try such

Hmmmm.... innosson will by 2020 manufactures all parts including engine....but what are we saying... innosson is the first in Africa and still thriving,thats what we call advancement....

And making 60% is not a small work...lemme let you on this

Do you know as big as apple is TSMC from Taiwan manufactures it's processor,sony and lg for screen panel....and apple is the richest tech industry in the whole word and we all know apple designs the phone while the real work is done by foxconn....so for someone to manufacture 60% parts...it's a great deal...I'm a Yoruba and I still feel like getting all those parts sooner than 2020...but wetin Kenya get...just hating .....

More power to innosson elbow

Kenyanstar:
Hahahaha..... This is the most stupid statement in the entire thread!!! So the recent scandals over the aborted arms deal with South Africa, the arms embargo placed on you guys. POOR NIGERIANS
http://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/11/16/with-the-us-embargo-in-place-nigeria-looks-to-russia-others-for-arms/
With the US Embargo in Place, Nigeria Looks to Russia, Others for Arms

The Federal Government has responded to the subsisting arms embargo imposed by the United States (US) by approaching countries of the Eastern bloc and Southern hemisphere to acquire the needed arms and ammunition for the ongoing counter-terrorism operations in parts of the country.The Air Force Chief, however, said that NAF is not resting on its oars to make the service more self-reliant and has, in line with his leadership vision, reactivated about 13 aircraft that were hitherto grounded for years due to lack of maintenance and questionable flying status.

Time to borrow some from nyovest
"This shit never gon change
This Niggas forever gon hate"

Can't you comprehend...that news is even a progress in this insurgence... or don't yu get it...

You keep finding looking when there are none...stop hating...

forgiveness:
Hehehehe! I intentionally allowed some to comment about the pictures of the shipyard in Nigeria, as some thought it difficult for a Nigerian or Nigeria to build shipyard.

They don't know that the recession has reset Nigerians brain to diversify rather than wait oyel money.


Nigeria now manufactures vehicles, motorcycles, boats and SHIPS live and direct. We also built drones.


Hmmm! Somebody is doubting the drone can fly.


Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you drones built by the Nigerian airforce. Cheers!

Funny is when Nigerians are showcasing advancement it technology our counterparts are busy showing us farms...farm my foot....abeg show us something innovative from your country not all these farm...we are building cars,motorcycles,ship,gunship mounted tanks and this guys are still showing us farms....I reserve my comment though

kikuyu1:
Dude,you should be thanking us! You don't know this ish.

Would you risk any step of this chain with inexperienced feed manufacturers? Do you know aflatoxin infected feed can kill a herd in hours and the milk will still carry traces?

FINALLY,THE TRUTH ON NAIJ GDP FROM THE VP
http://abokifx.com/nigeria-plans-7-trln-naira-budget-2017-vice-president-reuters/
I see they're not using the real exchange rate of 470 n to the dollar. Nairaland agriculture minister pavore9 regularly sends shillings home at 100 ksh to 470 n and 1 $ is 100 ksh,as you can see it makes sense. Your per capita GDP is in fact very close to ours. Whatever your feelings never repeat that 500 bn$ bs ever again.

Ignorance is a disease...as at the time of that info,it was 199 and it's 304 now Biko... stop hating....we are taking about official exchange rate not some parallel

iblawi:
TINAPA in Nigeria is the biggest mall in SSA outside South Africa. Do research, before posting rubbish. 80,000 Sq meters.

You have forgotten ABA mega mall is 280000m²...

Fidha254:
indeed..The fact that this thread has been sustained for this long 4 more than 100 pages is enough testament that Nigeria is not yet there, infact far from there....
Do you think if Kenyans were arguing with morroccoans or south Africans this thread would still be active? All Kenyans would have quietly disappeared on page 2, never to be traced again.... Some would have gone as far as deleting their accounts all together !!!!! And stayed out of the internet for a week to recover from heart ache! Hahaha

Nigeria shouldn't be arguing that they are the giants of Africa. Giants don't argue, everyone can see a giant a mile away, giants walk in the room and everyone disappears, page 131 and giants are still convincing underdogs

Funny you,the concept of this thread Kenya attacking and Nigeria merely defending...we don't care..if you know you are better,you wouldn't have gone through those stress to prove it to us....

The concentration of kenyans here us high while Nigerians are merely diluted....you can keep talking about yaself...

But all still we don't care...

Fidha254:
all the pages in this thread are a testament that no one is crying here.....
Point by point comparisons have been made on almost all aspects of life -education, health, access to government service, electricity,internet, overal living standards(HDI), security, sports, citizens in banking....... All the stuff ....
The only thing you got going is oil and big population

Eehya...still giving yourself hope....seems kenyans have nothing else to say again...your are jez like a car with 60km/hr with a nitro to boost it to 90km/hr but Nigeria on the other hand is 100km/hr with a turbo UpTo 150...which means even at your full speed with our initial speed ,you are still no match...you can take your fight to Ghana...Nigeria no see see you as a challenger,you ain't UpTo it....work on your self before bragging....

Jayceon:
these people still live in 100BC,how are people still obsessing over the next man's skin color in 2016

Wasn't their government longing for the return of Europeans who colonized Nigeria because they(nigerians) can't get anything right? ...lol

You just can't explain it enough,they have very very tiny brains

Throw that question to Trump or the western that still hates Russia or south Korea hating on north Korea.... racism is real....seems you never have experienced black in those countries had....though I still wish to go there... moreovers Nigeria don't care about skin...we rule ourselves

LightYagami:
Half Kenyan, not half Nigerian, so deal with it.
Even Ben CArson, when he was running to be ekected a Republican Presidential candidate claimed to trace his ancestry to the Turkana Peple of Kenya.

Olamide calls that "story for the gods"

LightYagami:
http://sahelstandard.com/index.php/2016/07/20/eko-atlantic-completes-nigerias-first-8-lane-city-road/
The road network dubbed ‘Eko Boulevard’, is an 8 lane Boulevard, 1500M long, similar to the 5th Avenue in New York, adding to part of the extensive network of roads clearly defined with an area in excess of 200,000 sq. metres to guarantee free flowing traffic.
Okay Thika road is 8 lanes main and 4 outer lanes to connect to other places. Thats 12 lanes in total It is 50km long. I see your is 1.5km long

Pls think guys....the eko boulevard is in eko Atlantic city...which is a small city...Na only eko boulevard you see...biko

LightYagami:
More Americans know what Kenya is I guess,Obama things.
And so do more Brits, I mean, the Queen learned about her ascent to the throne when she was here. Prince William proposed to Kate while in Kenya. Prince william had this ex gf who was Kenyan too, her name is Jecca Craig.
So gain, how many percentage of Nigerians
And I am happy to see one Nigerian knows about the darknet too

Abeg...who gives an F about such... that's why Nigerians will never stop looking at kenyans with disdainful feeling... whenever I surf this and my bro saw me ,he will just laugh like Kenya nor would anyone give you any recognition...
But still as I kept saying,this thread is for the fun of it

Kenyans are outta words..

GERALD710:
Looooool!An Ice rink that cannot fit more than 5 children.How cute!!
We have a rink that hosts teams every Wednesday!!

Aish...that's not the only one...Google is your friend

NairobiWalker:
Dude, that facility can only be found in countries without snow - If Nigeria was developed you would know that. Stupid.

Moreover it's also available in Nigeria... http://www.philorem.com/

We have most things but i didn't even know coz it ain't significant in these topics... kenyans just coming from every Angle... they have nothing else to say

LightYagami:
Lagos right now, 31 degrees celcius, Nairobi right now 18 degrees, abuja 33

Pls what does that tell you...Kenya is cooler while Nigeria is hotter...
That's means it's not snowy in Nigeria

NairobiWalker:
What exactly are you trying to say? You're so stupid.

Tell me you couldn't comprehend and I would have helped you....

Kenyanstar:
I didnt know it also snows in Nigeria? ID10T

Hmmmm.... ignoramus I must say

LightYagami:
And the thread was started by your own countryman bruh, we are here coz we have seen a lot of bitter talk and insults
As long as you post we will post
Aaaand I like posting pictures like these, ice skating facilities we have. I bet you giants have 10 like these

What concerns me about ice skating facilities...we have different climate..we don't need it

NairobiWalker:
You're very useless and foolish. SA dominates because it's way ahead of the rest. It's way ahead of Nigeria - otherwise if Nigeria was on the same development level as SA, you would be having at least four times the number of top universities as SA.

You guys should really think before posting...a country pioneer university says it all because most profs from those schools are the one in the remaining schools... it's like the backbone and role model and that's why you won't compare SA universities with any other in Africa...SA pioneer was established way back in 1829 which is over 100years older than nigeria pioneer university and yours...so SA is out of it...I really wish to school there but that not the topic...it's Nigeria and Kenya....so compare mates with mates....

But you always have excuses when you lose...it's welcomed though

NairobiWalker:
Kenyan universities rank way better than Nigerian universities. A country of 45 million people having 12 unis in top 200 (they're more btw) is better than a country of 180M having 30

Is that why you have 7 in top 100 with south Africa having having 20 with 10 in top 10 and that's what we talking about here...even if they are small,what positions do they hold.... university of Nairobi is no 10 while university of Ibadan is 13...so what ya saying...check those positions...Nigeria universities are clearly leading and despite the are drastically low...with most federal universities as low as below $80

Kenyanstar:
Tell that to the 1m tourist who visit Kenya every year on their vacation. Or the thousands of Italians in Malindi town who have made Kenya their second home.

Na tourist we dey talk ...abeg Washington DC no get time for tourist.....you mean those forest filled with animals...is that development....most picture outside Nairobi here are game reserves...
