Don't mind these people, imagine the jay guy saying he doesn't trust the Nigerian GDP figures, saying how come we have almost the same budget as that of Kenya, he is talking of our federal budget, not even reffering to the budgets allocated to each state here, probably he thinks our states are like the counties in Kenya. You don't have to take them very serious.

Do you know Kenya has Counties/ states each with its own Budget.

May be u should advice him to stop recycling same pictures from different angles of a very very small nice parts of the island, tell him to show us pics of main Mombasa where the huge chunk of the population leaves like, Ukunda(excluding the tourist beaches) and other parts such as voi, Changamwe, Likoni ,Kisauni and he should also know that Mombasa is too small and it's just a city with total size 5 by 3 km (3.1 by 1.9 mi) coral outcrop located on Kenya's coast on the Indian Ocean, which is connected to the mainland by a causeway. Part of the city of Mombasa is located on the island, including the Old Town. you should compare Mombasa island with Bonny Island in River state, Not the whole rivers

pics of bonny island

Kindly note mombasa has spread to Mtwapa which is like 25km... Nyali within Mombasa is like a city on its own... Open your eyes wider..

Yes, HNW(High net worth ) individuals roam freely in Nairobi just like wildlife. And you wouldn't even know it!

Very true I know quite a number, you can never tell unless you know them.... I do not think most Nigerians can be that humble. They would have turn Nairobi roads to Run ways..

MtuMsuper:
until the time Dangote builds it, Nigerians will have to do with imported refined petroleum.

From Ivory Coast.

It's ashame to this giant. All the best to your dreams bro.

MtuMsuper:
Bro, stats change. All the time. Nairobi has 9,400 + dollar millionaires. Not that's anything other than a number. Just a number, not anything more. I want to be amongst them by years end, though.

My bad Kenya and Ghana had the highest growth of dolla millionairs.

So Nairobi and Lagos has almost same number of dolla millionairs...

Jayceon:
when he said all that in the back of my mind I was thinking "is there any country in Africa that has seen worse than Rwanda?"

Hahaha most of this guys have been blinded by their politicians...

I read somewhere that the oil mined in Nigeria since 1956 is equal to Brazillian Economy .

At times I believe Nigerian Figures are cooked to hide the reality.. you find a city like PH with same GDP as Durban S.A.

Only blind ppl can believe that

Many countries have higher HDI than Nigeria, just like Norway and many other countries in Europe also have higher HDI than U.S. As for literacy, l would have to check again, but then it's possible considering that the Northerners in Naija have low literacy rate.

Its clear Nigeria Cannot compete with Kenya when it comes to Resorts and Hotels... Apart from Music what can we admire or borrow from Nija?

We also have places like the north in Kenya

There is a reason mombassa's net worth cannot compare to PH. PH is the center of most petrochemical industries in Nigeria, it is an oil city. So the statistics are more likely correct. Anyway believe what you want.

Does Nigeria have a working refinery at the moment?.

I know Dangote is buiding one.

freshest4live:
Yeah, so how are they better? They are only better in tourism and electric power.

So all the infrastructure we have or we are building are for tourism?

If you do not know Kenya has higher HDI than Nigeria.
We have higher literacy rate than Nija.
Nairobi host HQ of more Multinationals than Lagos

skylane:
All these african countries soooooooo jealous of the abundance of Nigeria and its people,no african Nation like Nigeria,entertainment,wealth,resources,cultural diversities,tribes many more,kenya ahead by how?any african other country facing the corruption,miltancy and all violence that Nigeria is facing,wud hav gone back to stone age by now,but nigeria is still standing strong,among the top 2 economy in africa,gbam!

What is there to be jealous about?? RWANDA had one of the worst genocide they came out stronger, Angola was in thesame shit they came out stronger.. Just to prove you wrong they did not go to stone age..

9jakool:
Many of the things you put up there are mostly correct however you have to consider the fact that Nigeria has many ports across its coastline so while Lagos is the largest, there are many others, so the load is more distributed. Mombasa is Kenya's main port. And isn't Kenya responsible for Uganda since it's landlocked?
-PH is very industrialized especially in petrochemical industry
-PH is also multicultured containing ethnic groups from the SS region as well as the rest of Nigeria. It's one of the multicultural hotspots.

Those figures are correct, but the data and figures is irrelevant when there is not a lot of wealth distribution. Nigeria's rich people are very very wealthy on average, many from oil. When GEJ visited Kenya with an entourage of 7 jets, one Kenyan official was shocked of the many private jets.

Nigeria is still one on the most un equal countries in the world in terms of wealth distribution.

Being the biggest port in East and Central Africa Mombasa mombasa has so many industries for both local and export oriented.

Lastly Kenyans are not as extravagant as Nigerians hence the shock when they landed.
Note that JKIA might be the biggest Airport in E.A but the busiest in E.A and Central Africa is Wilson Airport with over 600 take offs per day, it is mostly used by private jets.

But let me ask you, Nairobi and mombassa has wildlife, gameparks and the rest, then the gdp should compete with Lagos and not even PH or Abuja(which they don't compete with). That is to show you that gamepark alone or wildlife is less important than constant commercial activities in a city. Don't you agree with me?

I have said here athousand Times no one believes Nigerian figures,

Look at this way
PH has almost 2m ppl while mombasa has 1.2m
Both have 1000 dolla Milionairs dispite the population
Mombasa has way bigger port than PH
Mombasa has way better City, more Highrise than PH
Mombasa is way more multicultured more industrialised than Ph

Nairobi on the other hand has a population of 3.5m while Lagos has over 10m
Nairobi has 6200 dolla millionairs while lagos has 9100 take note of the population and the difference.

Nigerian Central Govt had same Budget as Kenyan Central govt at 22b dollas.

So I do not trust those Nigerian crap

Hbuyosh:
U said Nairobi has a lower per capita income than the the national avrg.....now it is Mombasa......where do u get this rubbish frm? So which city in Kenya has the highest per capita income than these two major economic hubs?

Nairobi and Mombasa arr the biggest contributers to the National GDP, even the IMF states that. Nairobi alone contributes aroind 40% of the national GDP, it has the biggest GDP than any other city......not just in Kenya, but all over East Africa. Mombasa is a major industrial, commercial and a port city with a thriving tourist and real estate industry in Kenya.

I tried to make sence with this guy with the above logic but it dnt work.. whenever you put him down this will always come out...
