rvp20183: What more comparison - we were beating you except in attack helicopters. In 2017 we acquired the Cobras from Jordan and have acquired more including pending order for crop-dusters from US. It all comes down to budget & reputation. Your defence budget is i think about equal or less than Kenya. And of course partners - you have shitty Pakistani & Russia - we work with US, Isreal and UK - and their allies (mainly Jordan) - and maybe China. Whenever they want to retire some arsenals for new ones - they send it to us for cheap or free. That is playing SMART.
Comparison in Army and Navy.
Sometimes if you bother to do some basic research, you will sound less like a fool.
Did you check our inventory? No. Coz if you do you'll know that we buy smart. We don't rely on a single country for our arsenals.
rvp20183: That you lost this year . You cannot be helped.
Jan 3, 2019 - The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has lost an Mi-35M attack helicopter in combat while providing close air support to soldiers fighting Boko Haram
rvp20183: I think the US deal are crop-dusters - that have been modified to be loaded with explosive instead of fertlizers and pesticides. But we also got Attack Helicopters from Jordan. I think we also had some attack helicopters from China.
Here are our 2nd hand Attack Helicopters from Jordan. Obama vetoed Nigeria attempt to acquire the cobras.
Poor Nigeria - where are you fighters Jets. No wonder you cannot beat Boko Haram. To beat insurgency force like Boko-haram you need airforce that can response quickly. Not tanks
Kenya Airforce will definitely eat Nigeria Airforce lunch - and that is why our campaign against Alshabaab has been largely successfully.
In fact the only place Nigeria beat Kenya Airforce is on attack helicopters - I believe Kenya acquired some from China - and we are getting crop-dusters equipped with guns from US - soon.
Poor Kenya, where is your attack helicopters? No wonder alshabab was having a field day in your capital.
Can you please use that site to compare army and Navy, I will like to see the results.
Danielnino00: With the way the Kenyans like to bring in per capita and other population indexes to downgrade whatever stats we beat them in ehn... I'm surprised they aren't far ahead of the likes of Norway, Switzerland, Morocco, Denmark,Belgium et al
Exactly! Not everything is measured per capita. It's just not done.
NairobiWalker: Which sector was your list about Mr. Stupid?
Exactly what I am talking about mister f*cking clever. That list is just what it is "the list of the most promising companies on the continent". Nothing more nothing less. It has nothing to do with GDP, population or whatever.
It span different sectors from agriculture, finance, education, health e.t.c.
NairobiWalker: 1. You brought that ranking here yourself, no Kenyan brought.
2. SA is economically way ahead of Kenya. This does not mean SA beats Kenya in everything, there are some things which we are better but on average they are far ahead.
3. If your list is to go by then yes, Kenya beats SA in that particular sector.
Why are you so stupid?
1. I Am well aware I brought the ranking here, I don't suffer from amnesia after all.
2. So you say.
3. Good. According to that list, tell me which sector is it that Kenya beats SA.
rvp20183: Chinese no longer immigrate. About 90M are now visiting as tourist the world. Chinese proffesionals are emigrating back to China. India is about to reverse that trend too. Nigeria you need to provide hope and opportunity for your people.
Liar! In fact migration in China and India is on an upward trend.
rvp20183: I think the list exclude South Africa. You just like arguing. South Africa is ON ANOTHER LEVEL. I think difference in pop btw Kenya, south Africa and TZ can make for good comparison - 50-60M. Nigeria is 200M gorrilla. Act like one.
rvp20183: I think the list exclude South Africa. You just like arguing. South Africa is ON ANOTHER LEVEL. I think difference in pop btw Kenya, south Africa and TZ can make for good comparison - 50-60M. Nigeria is 200M gorrilla. Act like one.
Nope South Africa is on the list.
What about Egypt, or is Egypt on another level too?
NairobiWalker: You brought the data yourself boasting about Nigeria having 97.
Kenya being ahead of Tanzania is the norm..............and yes, for a similar penetration rate, the telecoms market of Nigeria should be at least 4 times Kenya's to match Kenya's. That's not something I'm supposed to be teaching a grown up.
Remind me what we are talking about again? Telecom market or number of Telecom companies.
rvp20183: Everyone knows China is still far away from US. The same way everyone in this thread now knows Kenya is FAR AHEAD of Nigeria. Let use Ghana. You say Ghana would be a state in Nigeria. If Ghana had 66 most promising companies and Nigeria had 99 companies. Who do you think is FAIRING BETTER. The answer is Kenya. You have 4 times our population and allegedly 4 times plus our GDP. You should have more companies in that list.
Stop acting dumb.We cannot just compare countries without factoring many things. It like comparing apples & oranges. They are fruits - but different.
You've got to compare the two countries quantitatively and qualitatively.
SA population is more than Kenya's, it's GDP is more than Kenya's, yet Kenya has more companies listed than SA, should we say Kenya is doing better than SA then? Yes or no would do.
Show me where I said Ghana would be a state in Nigeria.
rvp20183: Not necessarily. It really depend on what value. There is quantitative value and qualitative value. Generally speaking you speaking if you're in doubt about per capita logic - check South Africa numbers.If you're talking about number of companies - then yes to beat Kenya - you'd need more than 66 versus 99. Unless you're NOW admitting both countries are equal peers.
Again very simplistic from you. This is not the total number of companies in our respective countries but list of the most promising companies. This is a ranking, it has nothing to do with population.
It's like saying China should have more companies in fortune 500 because of it's population.
And my previous question was straight to the point. Yes or no will do.
rvp20183: You're acting stupid. It should have 4 times the size of our telcom industry to match us and more to beat us. South Africa are about 60M; We are 50M; we cannot use per-capita argument against South Africa.
We are talking of quantity here not value!
So Nigeria should have 8 Telecom companies because Kenya has 4?
NairobiWalker: Kenya has 66 with just a quarter of your population. We would have 264 if we had 200 million people within our borders like you. Where is Tanzania though?
Doesn't work like that. That's like saying Nigeria should have 4times your Telecom companies because we have 4times your population.
Exactly, where is Tanzania? Which is why I said cooked. No way Kenya should rank above Tanzania.
Dudeweedlmao: Did you see the way they responded to the threat? I could not distinguish betwee them and the US millitary. I can't believe you guys spent 1 billion dollar on millitary gear and still it doesn't look anything as effective as what the Kenyans were wielding in this enocunter.
What do they use the money for? 1 BILLION DOLLAR?? what the _fuck naaa??
Yes you could distinguish between them and the American military. Fact.
Credit to them, they responded fast enough. But that's because it's your capital.
Those guys are your special forces, not regulars, ours are well equipped too. Fact.
One billion dollars for how many personnel? Nigerian Army alone numbered between 150,000 to 200,000.
And by the way, the 1billion has not been released to the military yet.
