Kikuyu11 NairobiWalker this is how Kenyan men view their women. When I tell you y'all have serious esteem issues you think I'm lying. I'm sure y'all agree with Mr. BoyChild over here.

Ladies on this thread, don't let anybody fool you, Kenyan men are the real trash:

Bless you! You just reminded me of this:

Daejoyoung:
lol, soon rvp2018 would factor in tourism per capita to prove you wrong, just wait for it.

I swear . That guy is obsessed with per capita.

rvp20183:
If we had 1/10 of your oil - we will be developed - like most middle east are. Look at Algeria and how they've used their oil. Dubai, name them. Nigeria is a cursed zoo. Just imagine you sell 2M barrels a day - and you're soo poor and so hopeless.

No longer if but when. We shall see how you are going to be like Dubai when turkana oil starts production.

And since you are very fond of per capita, did you by chance measure Nigeria's oil production per capita too

rvp20183:
We've gone thro this - and we beat you when per capita is considered [ONCE THAT SIMPLE CONCEPT GET THROUGH YOU THICK BONEHEADED SKULL WE CAN RESUME THE COMPARISON] - as for Nigeria multinationals - we have also given you example of kenyan companies in your country in many sectors.

And all we hear are the cries 1) kibera 2) whites & little indians and 3) Northern Nigeria are messing us up.

You don't hear lame excuses from Kenyans.

Not everything is about per capita.

Which Kenyan companies are in Nigeria?

tylann:
yes we don't listen are you going to force me to accept we listen to your music we listen to tz songs and our own as simple as that
No kenyan middle class listen to your songs

But your upper class do listen though right

tylann:
you need a brain transplant which Nigeria companies construct Kenyan roads
Our middle class don't listen to Nigerian music
You are a sick man

Here again with we don't listen to Nigerian music

Go to any Nigerian music video on youtube, Kenyans, saffers, Ghanaians are the largest community you'll find there

Rvp20182: this is for you, Nigerian and Kenyan Banks studied in detail. Both sectors have their ups and downs. Very educative read.

obaaderemi: believe those figures quoted by that saffer at your own peril. They have been known to inflate figures just so they can blame their problems on foreigners.

According to the last count by SA stats office in 2016, there are about 30,000 Nigerians in SA. The total number of migrants is SA is about 4m according to UN, but if you add all the values that saffer quoted, you are getting to almost 10m

In fact, there are more brits and Germans in SA than Nigerians, then comes the Zimbabweans, people from the Southern continent of Africa.

And besides, if he is blaming people from other African countries for their problem, then maybe we should attribute their success to the whites then. What da ya think

Again don't let him fool you with that "ranking" he googled search, that ranking was from 2000. Since then Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Botswana and even SA have all made improvement. Check The lancent report in global health system ranking.

On issues of mental disorder, did you know that a third of saffers have one mental problem or the other?

Sorry gotta run, morning training. Be back soon. The PDF file is still downloading, will share when I get back.

Why is it that pics from Nigeria are always of very bad quality...

You should ask why this particular pic is of bad quality,

Surely you have seen my other pictures, are you saying all my pictures are of bad quality?

gallivant:
Why does it say International on the airport building?

Maybe a mistake? I don't really know.

Lagos

gallivant:
Are you stupid, it says with bold numbers in the airport; Maiduguri international airport.

Maiduguri has never received an international flight.

That link is from Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria.

Nigeria has five international airports, not six

And on the matter of foreign based footballers, our home based super eagles played CHAN Final against Morocco this year. We reached the final, where are all those countries with "strong leagues".

FUN FACT: Nigeria is the fifth largest exporter of footballers behind Brazil, Argentina, France and Serbia.

Nigeria is also the African team to ever achieve the highest ranking by FIFA. 5th position.

Maiduguri is not an international airport, someone keeps ignoring this link

No idea. Mobility in case of war?

Yes.

Jonraid:
No correlation at all? What does GDP measure? Aren't banks important institutions when talking about 'money matters and economics ' which GDP itself seeks to measure?

What I am saying is that just because you have a bigger GDP does not equate to a bigger banking sector like he insinuated.

kikuyu1:
Wrong. As usual. We do in fact use per capita especially for comparisons to find the mean.

So you are saying we can use per capita to determine which country has better rail or roads?

rvp2018:
Of course I strongly believe you GDP is OVER-STATED. And there is enough evidence I have adduced. One such evidence is your total banking assets - compared to say South Africa or Egypt.

Banking is part of Financial sector of Economy. That is part of GDP. Yemi Kale will tell you your banking/finance sector is worth what clearly it is not worth.

Imagine you got very good banking - and yet your bank asset to GDP is - right there with Niger.
146. Nigeria 20%
147. Niger 20%

https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/bank_assets_GDP/

We have seen just how crazy your agriculture GDP figures are - that one alone is totally baked.

So US GDP is cooked too , because despite it's bigger economy, it's banking assets is smaller than Japan's.

Bank assets to GDP does not mean anything. It just shows that there are other sector bigger than banking. Lebanon's Bank assets to GDP is higher than Japan's or China's does that mean it's banking sector is bigger?

rvp2018:
3) You're only arguing because Nigeria banking assets clearly exposes your over-cooked economy. You see South Africa has 370B banking assets. Nigeria which claim to be bigger has 100B. Kenya has 40B. That is all the argument is all about.

This again? You still believe that nigeria"s GDP is cooked

I've never said Nigeria's banking is bigger than SA.

And again their is no correlation between size of GDP and Size of a country's Bank assets.

Kenyanstar:

I know its impossible to get such information from the lethargic Nigerian government. The Kenyan government ensures that such information is available to the common man to track progress and final product of their tax payers money.

Enjoy your victory while it lasts

TayserMahiri:
Some things don't make sense. For instance asking which is the biggest bank is a useless question. All banks need to do is provide adequate services and be innovative. The bigness is useless. Same to GDP, rail and roads. A massive country would have massive banks by virtue of pop but still be poor compared to a smaller country with smaller banks and fewer roads. We have tried to explain this per capita thing for eons but it seems you guys just will never get the concept. Let's debate about how well whatever is there serves the purpose.

The exception would be when comparing a country like Kenya and Tanzania where the expected fails to hold. E.g Kenya has bigger banks n bigger everything despite being less populous and smaller in landmass.

If big is useless, then IMF and WB will not be releasing which is the "biggest" list every year.

Not everything is measured in per capita, GDP per capita, PPP per capita, military spending per capita e.t.c good and fine. But when you start measuring Bank assets per capita, Music sector per capita, Airport capacity per capita, road network per capita, rail network per capita, everything per capita, you are going out of line.

While population and land mass influence building of roads and rail, their are many other factors overlooked like trade, government policy e.t.c

Do you know that one of the main reason why US interstate was built was for easy mobility of soldiers?

rvp2018:
Its a pretty good indicator. Banking is about money. You entire banking systems has 100B dollars to lend/invest to 200M people. Ours have 40B to lend to 50M. South Africa has 370B to lend to 60M. Which one do you think is superior. It better to lose an argument but to lose your dignity in the process is idiotic. You're becoming another forgivness idiot.

It's not a pretty good indicator because there are loopholes in it.

1. If it's a good indicator, why is it not use by economists around the world, because this is the first time I am hearing of it.

2. Not all Bank Assets are in a single country. For example, GT Bank is present in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Gambia, Ghana e.t.c UBA in 20 African countries including Kenya, Ghana, e.t.c. Firstbank, Access Bank all have their assets spread across many countries. How do their assets in those countries serve Nigeria?

3. (I might be wrong on this though because I couldn't find the total Bank assets of Indonesia) but from indications, Indonesia has a superior Bank assets than SA, but SA leads in ratio to population. Will you say SA banking is superior to Indonesia's?

4. Going by your logic, we also have to factor in the number of customers (population) of a particular Bank (country) to determine how superior they are because banks only invest in (lend to) their customers.

5. Your argument is simplistic because it does not matter how big the assets of a banks in a country is if the masses can not access the money. And to determine how masses can access the money, you factor in borrowing power of customers, lending power of banks e.t.c.

6. And to determine the borrowing power of customers, you factor in minimum wage, income, expenses e.t.c at the end of the you have a very skewed result.

7. Banking depth, Banking transparency and regulation, Capacity of local investors, Macroeconomic opportunity and Enforceability e.t.c are the metrics mostly considered when measuring which banking sector is better while Bank assets is the only metric use to determine which banking sector is bigger/larger.

7. I genuinely enjoy our arguments, if you are no longer interested in this discussion, just say so, we'll go our separate ways, no need for the insults.

NairobiWalker:
It is not weak but it's weaker than Japan's, just like yours is not weak but it's weaker than Kenya's.

Aaahh, you are wrong though, the smaller your asset, the weaker you are because you have weaker lending capacity.
