I have been viewing this thread from the beginning and the only aspect which i can clearly agree that Kenyans beat Nigeria is tourism & Airline transportation. In aspects like Sports, Military and Power supply i'd say it's a tie. (Kenyans will argue about power supply but they should not forget that even they have more stable power supply, Nigeria's power supply meets 99% of it's citizens while in Kenya only 60% of it's citizens have access to power supply). Nigeria is just far ahead of Kenya in :- 1) Economic size and GDP per capital (no need to explain) 2) Technology and ICT 3) Entertainment industry (East africa combined cannot match Nigeria here) 4) Presence of Slums (it will take Kenya another 50 years to have a clean and sane city the size of Abuja with no single slum, even Capetown has slums). 5) Urbanization (Nigeria is 10 times more urbanized than Kenya). 6) Individual achievements and success (no single billionaire in Kenya, even with all the Indians & whites running the economy) 7) Industrialization. Banking sector (no comparison). 9) Educational sector (Nigeria is better here because we have over a dozen universities than can be ranked well here in Africa unlike Kenya with only 2 or 3 standard universities and Nigerian schools are damn cheap with school fees as low as $100 per session making it accesible to even the poorest people) 10) A more refined and beautiful African culture (The only culture Kenya seems to have is that of the savage masais. Imagine Kenyans wearing western clothes to both traditional and social gatherings, so sad). 11) Private sector (Almost every good thing in Kenya is fully or partly owned by the govt. A single person in Nigeria is building the world's biggest refinery, infact all the achievements of the top 100 richest Kenyans put together- both Indians, whites and blacks cannot equal this Nigerian individual giant, not to talk of others in Nigeria) 12) Rich history Infact when talking about rich history in Africa, Kenya is just nowhere to be found. Nigeria had many great empires and kingdoms in pre colonial africa, our people were trading across the world already, some of us were already reading and writing and when the colonial masters came they were shocked and they even looted our artefacts to their own country while all Kenyans were still running Unclad in forests at that time drinking animal blood. So many more points which i will continue to list. |
PissedYagami:Anybody can sit down anywhere to write anything. Show us the slums in Lagos and Abuja. Makoko was the only well known slum in Lagos b4 it was demolished, all others are so extremely small or are not just qualified to be called slums according to world standards or definition of slums. Over 140 million (80%) Nigerians own a cell phone which they charge and recharge regulary. Over 100 million (60%) Nigerians subscribe monthly to data subscription plans. These statistics are released by our telecom companies, so it can't be false. How can people so poor affort these? Use your head! |

So many more points which i will continue to list |
PissedYagami:Tell that to China, India, Indonesia and even the United states. |
Seriously i don't think i can withstand the oozing ignorance of these blood drinking Kenyans anymore. You find Kenyans asking questions like ''if Nigeria's GDP is so high why are Nigerians leaving their country like that?'' Just imagine the ignorance. Have they asked the Chinese that question? China's economy is even larger than the United states' in the GDP PPP ranking and yet Chinese people are even deported here in Africa. Indians, Mexicans, Egyptians e.t.c also migrate all over the world yet their economies are large. You ignorant peeps forget that developing countries with such large populations find it difficult to meet the needs of everyone no matter how rich they are. |
gallivant:Cultureless blood drinking Kenyans dont know how much money our fashion and entertainment industry generates for us. There are Nigerians like my mum and i who have made millions just from production, sales and designing of our native fabrics. Not to talk of our entertainment industry which is worth more than your tourism industry which your govt has spent so much to develop. Put the whole of Eastern African entertainment together, Nigeria's is still ahead. We Nigerians are not like u savage Kenyans who take pride in blood drinking as your basic culture. We have developed ours to suit world standards and foreigners are falling in love with it and even patronizing it. |
[quote author=kikuyu1 post=52020078][/quote]How can u remodel a community on water? Most inhabitants of Makoko are from Benin republic. If Makoko was as large as u claim it is, it would have made the list of top slums in the world as Nairobi slums did. But wait are u Kenyans not ashamed? Lagos city population is more than 5 times Nairobi's yet Nairobi has more renowned and bigger slums than Lagos? While our capital city Abuja with over 3 million people in it's urban area has no single slum? |
NairobiWalker:Dont tell me u are this ignorant. China's economy is almost as large as US economy but China is still a developing nation. If Nigeria's population was as small as SA, definitely we will be on the same level with them if not better than them. Their country is so racially divided and disadvantaged, ours can never be like that. |
Candycrusher:LoL, are u for real? |
NairobiWalker:You fail to understand that Nigeria's $500 billion dollar economy or $30 billion budget is not a function of the federal govt only. In Nigeria we have state govts which have their own annual state budgets independent of the federal govt budget. Not all projects in Nigeria are financed by the Federal govt, infact i think the state govts seem to have more functions in development, that's why some states tend to be more developed than the others. Nigeria is not like Kenya that has only 2 or 1 tier of govt. So u must add up our federal and state sums to arrive at our overall national sum. |
kikuyu1:Much of these floating slums have been demolished. BBC can confirm it. https://abangmercy./2012/07/17/lagos-makoko-slums-knocked-down-in-nigeria-bbc/
|
NairobiWalker:Are u just dumb or what? With all your Indian and white saviours? Does South Africa have twice your population? |
NairobiWalker:Crazy guys, , i can see that u guys really enjoy the pleasure of my company.I'm a very busy fashion designer and business lady. So i was really busy yesterday and today. I also belong to other social networks which i must frequent daily. If i start now with my fashion and entertainment ish, u guys will not be able to contain me, hope u know? |
NairobiWalker:Ignoramus. Ask the chinese why they are all over the world. People from small underdeveloped countries have small minds. |
ArchieTaylor:There is no floating slum anywhere in Nigeria again. Makoko has been destroyed years ago. Kibera is still standing strong. |
iblawi:I think it would take a long time before Kenya can upgrade Kibera, Mathare and all other Nairobi slums. Kenyans centred everything in Nairobi, leaving other parts of their country to deccay or without economic life. Take me for instance, i'v been to Lagos only once in my life. I really see no reason why i have to live in Lagos or be connected to Lagos because almost everything i can get in Lagos i can get from Abuja, Kaduna or Jos. It's so sad that so many people are living in such terrible conditions in Kenya even with all the foreign assistance, NGOs, govt support e.t.c. |
forgiveness:Am originally from Kogi, but my family has been based in Kaduna cos we are partly from Kaduna, but i was born in Jos. Yes northerners have facial beauty. Southernerns do too but i think u guys have a nicer body physique and swagg than us. Northernerns just have this simple face (esp our women) as u can see below.
|
shizzy7:Kenyans are just low self esteem loosers. They compare themselves with everyone. U hardly see Nigerians do that. Tanzanians are nice people i tell u. I've met some of them, they also have a very beautiful culture and a better music industry than Kenyans. Kenyans are just jealous of them. Kenyans borrowed their Swahili language and now brag about it claiming it's theirs. U can see how Tanzanian artistes like Diamond flows with Nigerian artistes so much. Remember that Nigerian guy from Jos who married this beautiful Tanzanian lady, they met at Big brother Africa.
|
NairobiWalker:Everyone knows that Swahili originated at the Tanzanian coasts and Zanzibar axis when African speakers tried to communicate/intermix with Arab, Iranian and Indian speakers along the coastlines. Are u now trying to steal Swahili language origin from Tanzanians? That's why u see so much Arabic and Indian influence in Swahili language and Tanzanian culture. I listen to some Bongo and Taarab Tanzanian musics. I love the way they sing. I like Tanzanians, they are much more friendly, civilized and beautiful than u ugly animal blood drinking Kenyans with no culture and low self esteem always trying to compare yourselves with others to make u feel better. Nigerians really seem to flow better with Tanzanians and Ethiopians, but never blood drinking Kenyans... |
iblawi:Hahahaha , u are killing me.So Kenyan slums attract so much tourists like this? Now i really know why Kenya attracts tourists. Kenyans really need to be shown some love like the whites are doing.
|
iblawi:And the worst part is that Kibera and other Nairobi slums account for about 75% of Nairobi's population. Makoko is no more, have u forgotten? It has been demolished and the residents relocated. Kenyans should learn how to build a capital city from Nigeria. Abuja urban area has about 3 million people and no single slum. It will take Kenyans another 50 years to achieve sth like this. |
NairobiWalker:Face it, no excuse you can give to show that Kenyans completely lack a developed culture like Nigeria & Ethiopia. Nigeria is a very big and diverse country unlike small Kenya. In the far north, ability to read and write in hausa and arabic can get u some jobs. The govt just wants to take everyone along and avoid tribal issues that why they try to appear neutral at the federal govt level, but the individual states in the north use hausa as their co-offficial state language with English. Hausa language has about 150million speakers in 5 different countries. Swahili is not even a native Kenyan language developed by Kenyans. Tanzania owns it and u guys borrowed it from them. Tanzanians have a far more beautiful culture and beautiful people than Kenya. Their music is far better too. Tanzanians and Ethiopians rep East Africa far better than Kenya. Kenyans have no culture other than drinking animal blood. LoL |
Kenyans keep tagging Nigeria with witchcraft as if their country is free from it. Not knowing that their lives depend on it. Why Kenyans depend on witchcraft https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/mobile/article/2000207645/why-kenyans-rely-on-witchcraft |
kikuyu1:At least these naija girls are using their own bodies and not someone's else. Unlike u Kenyans who are exporting albino human body parts to Tanzania and other countries for witchcraft. You guys are the most backward barbarians the world has ever known, killing albinos all over Kenya for witchcraft and supplying their mutilated body parts to neighbouring countries. Savages. I have a lot of graphic images abt this Kenyan practice believe me, but i won't be so foolish to litter them all over here, but i guess the link is here below. http://m.mgafrica.com/article/2015-09-14-attackers-in-kenya-try-to-hack-off-body-parts-from-albino-for-sale-in-tanzania-as-polls-near |
Ednite:Ok, i guess so, but don't u think that this is unfair to the Oromo, Tigray and other language speakers? I think these are the reasons why people feel u Amharas are dominating the other ethnic groups. Is English the most spoken foreign language in ET? What relevance does it have? I don't speak Amharic, though i love the language, it has some similarities in intonation with Nigeria's hausa language. I watch Amharic songs cos i love the culture. I guess learning Amharic would be so difficult because u guys do not use the greek writing script, your writing style looks so strange. LoL |
Kenyanstar:Read this link below and see that Chinese people are deported all over the world, even Ghana deports them http://worldtodaypress.com/2016/08/ghana-deports-over-30-chinese-nationals/ Developing Nations with Large populations such as Nigeria, India, Pakistan, China e.t.c always face this issue, cos the country is just so filled with so much people and everyone is out to make money through whatever means. I guess Chinese people being deported all over the world makes Kenya better than China. |
iblawi:Do u reside in Jos? Where? |
NairobiWalker:Well, not abt us, at least all international assessment bodies have never considered our lower towns as slums. We would have been ranked by various world fact sources as having the biggest slums, but we are not. U can see that we do not attract humanitarian aids and agencies like you residents of Kibera, telling u that we can take care of ourselves. |
NairobiWalker:Our govt only does that because we want to encourage unity of the country and ensure that all Nigerians are literate in our official language nothing else. Othwewise almost every service in Nigeria is broadcasted in Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo and Pidgin. |
shizzy7:Yes u are. Hw did u know? |
ArchieTaylor:Why are Nigerian slums not world renowned to the extent of attracting humanitarian aids and agencies from all over the world? Simple! because slums are almost only found in Lagos and their population is so small compared to the non slum dwellers. Savage blood drinking Kenyan, read this link below, even the BBC can confirm to u than Makoko has been destroyed and the inhabitants relocated! http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-18870511 I can boldy assure u that any shitty pic u see of Lagos online is probably a decade old picture. Lagos was completely abandoned by our Federal govt once the capital was relocated to Abuja and the increasing population in Lagos started affecting the infrastructures, however the Lagos state government has buckled up their shoes and have proven to the Nigerian federal govt that with or without federal or oil money, Lagos can still work and make progress. This is now evident for the whole world to see. I hope u can see the amazing Eko Atlantic which Lagos is building? Orange island and Lagos smart city about to take off, against Abuja's only centennary city. Lagos economy is not larger than Kenya's economy for nothing. |
ArchieTaylor:My pics and my sister's pics have been posted here several times. As a faceless forum that this is, i just can't reveal myself anyhow. One of these four pics belong to me. Can you spot me? LoL.

Banking sector (no comparison).
