People eat GDP in Nigeria!

Joseph Stiglitz, the Columbia University economist (a Nobel Prize laureate who once taught at the University of Nairobi), calls it GDP fetishism (probably for a lack of better word).

Google about 'GDP FETISHISM'
Justnotyou:
Both Facebook's & Apple's GDP are higher than the two, you should first try to understand the difference between a city & a country before engaging people in irrelevant comparisons, just take south African cities cumulative GDP & compare with the whole national GDP you'll know how baseless your argument is.

Also how do you enjoy higher GDP?

No problem.I just don't know of what lessons we could learn from Nigeria.Even from the oil and gas sector,you can't take lessons from Nigeria.We have a MOU with Algeria though on that sector! I can understand why we trusted Algiers more than Abuja! grin

Kenya s got tribalism with less than 20 groups. what lol happen if they were to hit 200 like Nigeria

Lagos enjoys higher GDP than Kenya though

I don't know yet but from the engagements the Kenyan Gov't has had with Nigeria since independence,it may suffice to say that we've learned from each other something! Why don't you google! wink

what are you learning from Nigeria.

IQ tests or the concept itself is bullcrap.You just can't measure intelligence!
Justnotyou:
IQ tests vary depending on internal & external factors, proper nutrition acts by a factor of -+2, proper health (mental) by a factor of -+5, education/exposure also factors by -+5, cold weather factors by -+2, age also matters, genetics factor by -+5, self esteem by a difference of -+2 but all that doesn't matter if the test (classical) is done in an alien language or tampered for political reasons.

If you're thinking about taking an online IQ test I recommend the Mensa workouts. If you're in the 1-2 % IQ ranges of 132 and above then congratulations you are a genius, If you're in the ranges of 80 to 120 you're average if you're bellow the IQ of 70 you're legally a retard.

Simple logic,if someone is better in you in a certain trade-go learn from him! smiley

The Zambians were in Kenya to learn how we have managed to ensure every textbook per child policy is implemented.Our books publishing sector according to pwc report in electronic and media revenues were worth 40 million US dollars(2017) and is second best in SubSaharan Africa to South Africa.Nigeria revenue totals were 30 million USD(2017). In Zambia,one textbook is shared by almost five pupils.In research, that is how you go about it,YOU LEARN FROM THOSE WHO ARE AHEAD OF YOU IN SOMETHING. It's pretty normal for nations to learn from each other- Kazikazi

Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Jonraid(m): 7:44am On Feb 02, 2019
We also did learn the same from Rwanda.Our policy makers toured the BRT projects of both Tanzania and Ethiopia so as to learn how they do it,in the end we settled for the Bogota City BRT model in Columbia.If Burundi emerges as best in banana farming or say mobile money,we will also learn from them.Our own IEBC toured Ghana to see how elections can be run effectively,we toured Mozambique to learn about their mineral industry,we will tour Seychelles and seek to partner with them because they have a good and a robust tourism industry.We will learn from everyone! We are learning from Djibouti how they manage to export meat and animal products and in the process earn a lot of foreign exchange.Uhuru's Jubilee party wanted to learn from CCM and ANC parties on how they have managed to stay relevant in so many years in the political sphere. We are learning from everybody.Don't get carried away! If Tanzania is good in cashew nuts farming, fishing or anything we will go and learn from them!
Kazikazi:
We are busy teaching them
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Jonraid(m): 7:28am On Feb 02, 2019
It's us.Ethiopia passed Kenya in real GDP by about 2 billion dollars when they were announced as the largest economy in EA (In GDP terms). Using the current exchange rate of the birr to the dollar,Kenya takes the mantle of being the largest economy in East and Central Africa! This are the IMF projections which are lower than our own treasury's projection but we will take them as they present a neutral standpoint!
ranch2000:
Last year I heard on CGTN that Ethiopia was now East Africa's largest economy. Yet today, Kenya was once again mentioned as the largest. What's going on THERE - who's Top Dog?

Maasai clothing is already international!
obaaderemi:
No African brand is going international for now except a couple of South African brands. Even those are owned by white settlers. But I can give you this Nigerian fashion label, Ikire Jones. It was called upon to design some of the clothing you see in Black Panther.
https://ikirejones.com/ They are going places. cool

Get out of your bubble,we also think that we shouldn't supposed to be where we are right now.Don't make it a Nigerian phenomenon!
samsobo24:
The big difference between Nigeria and other Africans is,they tend not to criticize their government like the way we do

Nigeria needs a Great leader that can take us ten steps further than where we are now

We can grow 10* faster than our other countries because Nigeria's potential abilities are enormous. It wouldn't take us much time to cover our huge infrastructural gap as a country

I thought they'd be making crazy cash from their entertainment industry,I was actually wrong! grin

We produce fewer movies which most get global appreciation.South Africa's E and M industry is unmatched,Nigeria isn't that big as they put it.Kenyans stuff might not be that popular to many,but we make the third highest revenues in Sub Saharan Africa!

A tale of a Nigerian Minister! grin

https://www.nairaland.com/4986102/raila-odinga-mocked-nigeria-over/1

https://www.nairaland.com/newpost?topic=3327789

''KENYAN politician Raila Odinga has often narrated an amusing tale. He says a transport minister from an African country was invited to visit Malaysia. He enjoyed a tour of Kuala Lumpur, marvelling at the glitzy capital’s impressive infrastructure. In the evening, the Malaysian transport minister treated the African minister to a sumptuous dinner in his magnificent mansion.

“My brother, this is a fabulous mansion. How did you manage to get such a residence?” asked the African minister. Without batting an eyelid, the Malaysian host took the visiting dignitary to the balcony and, pointing into the distant cityscape, replied: “Do you see those fantastic roads, there?”
The African nodded. “Ten percent of the project money came into my pocket.”

A year later, it was the turn of the African minister to reciprocate. So, the Malaysian minister was taken on a tour of the African nation’s capital city, full of potholed roads and decaying infrastructure. In the evening, they went to the African minister’s palatial mansion for dinner. The Malaysian visitor asked rather curiously: “My brother, how did you get such a wonderful palace?” Without skipping a beat, the African minister took the visitor to the balcony and, pointing into the distance, replied: “You see all those new roads there?” The Malaysian minister was puzzled, he could not see any new roads. The African minister continued: “100% of the money for roads came to me.”

Both aren't complex either than reattaching a cut off limb!
Kazikazi:
The gov was cheated by some bad guys! They gave wrong info about local processing capacity,hence a minister of agriculture together with a minister of industries lost their jobs.But anyway,we are in a right track.Few more machines will do the job.Processing cashews isn't complex as doing heart operations
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Jonraid(m): 7:06am On Feb 01, 2019
A policy just on paper,your government isn't keen on implementing it!
Kazikazi:
hehehe...koroshow again!

Yes he got raw nuts.The gov policy is clear,u have to export processed nuts.
The exchange rate is not that bad considering the amount of stuffs we have imported in recent months.Also we don't get aid as we used to because of our homosexuality stance.
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Jonraid(m): 6:27am On Feb 01, 2019
Your government sold him raw nuts,raw nuts.The government is also looking for other potential buyers.The dollar is pounding hard the Tanzanian shilling.You desperately need foreign exchange!

Your local companies don't have the capacity to process all the cashew nuts you produce!
Kazikazi:
Any company which buys cashews in TZ will have to process the nuts locally before exportation,that's how the government policy works.So don't worry,your Kenyan buyer will have to approach local processors before exportation

They will say its for whites!

If someone is bred and born in a country,he/she is citizen of that country-Nigerians don't get this.They can't decipher citizenship/nationality from race!

Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Jonraid(m):
South Africa, 2017 (US$ millions)

Total E&M revenue 9 799


Nigeria, 2017 (US$ millions)

Total E&M revenue 3 761


Kenya, 2017 (US$ millions)

Total E&M revenue 1 655

This are the total Entertainment and Media revenues.Nigeria's numbers are just 2.2 times larger than Kenya's despite a GDP AND A POPULATION four times bigger.Nigeria should look at South Africa's numbers and then ask themselves why that big GDP of theirs isn't bringing in more revenues.That pretty much tells you that a big GDP is nothing to be much proud of,they should have beaten SA because their GDP is bigger than theirs!

I will soon drop the figures in advertisement revenues! What are electronic billboards? They are almost everywhere!
samsobo24:
I guess they might have outdoor ads and some billboards but I doubt Nairobi's backwardness can amount to having electronic bill boards

Electronic bill boards are virtually every where in Lagos and its nothing special,every states has it

BUT
Don't be surprised you might not find it in Nairobi CBDs self
