Lol this thread is funny, how big is Kenya and how many states are as developed as Nairobi in Kenya?

The only funny thing here is your ignorance and naivety.... i guess you are one among the many Nigerians who have never gone beyond your village or state.
Let me enlighten your generator fume mindset that Kenya doesn't constitute states but counties, 42 in total.
So to your earlier question about which states can be compared to any state in Nigeria or to Nairobi county:
1. Nairobi county is the financial hub- you probably know about it already
-1 International- airport, 5th busiest in Africa
-2 airstrips, Wilson airport- regional flights, Eastleigh air base
-3 public referral hospitals: Kenyatta National Hospital- biggest in East & Central Africa, Mama Lucy hospital and Nairobi
-5 public Universities- JKUAT, Nairobi Uni, UON,

2. Mombasa county is the second richest in Kenya in terms of infrastructure development-
-1 city, 2 towns, several satellite towns
-1 International airport, 3 busiest in East & Central Africa & 1 airstrip
-1 International standard port, second biggest in Africa in haulage.
-1 public referral hospital with several sub referral hospitals
-3 public Universities

Hehehehe! No! I am in Nigeria but connected to the rest of the world including Kenya.

I dont trust you men.... Pictures of you in Naija with todays paper or we do something drastic that i wont mention here!!!

forgiveness:
Please let us move away from these talks about Indian and foreigners dominating Kenya, grammar and other useless and unprofitable fables.

Let us discuss development.

For me, I no dey gain anything from those talks. They are baseless and useless.

Except una wan cause genocide for Kenya. That is not cool.

My Kenya brothers, sorry for the last post. It was done to shut the mouth of that Kukiikui or whatever.


I have a special offer for those living in Nairobi. For those who are lovers of classical music.

There is a Christmas Cantata coming up this evening @ 6:30 pm in The grand multipurpose hall of Safari Park Hotel next to USIU of Thika road Nairobi.

Free dinner from 5 - 6pm before the main event. Admission is free.

I have known the organization for 15 years. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Cc PissedYaggami, Kenyanstar, NairobiWalker, Kikuyu 2 , and those I didn't mention but lives in Nairobi.

Nigga are you in Nairobi or what This are stuff i can only say miracles are made of!!!!

iblawi:
Are you serious?

Do you think your ambassador is living in the bush?

From the look of those pictures i wouldn't doubt a wee bit that he jumps from a parachute or most probably lands in Ghana then goes by car to the Naija border and later trek to Abuja..... You call that an international airport?

naijalander:
Can I just say that you do have colonial mentality.

You can say that again... Its not like you have ever heard millions of Kenyans having dead corpses washing ashore or in the Libyan deserts trying to go to wash toilets in European countries? I don't know why you came to Kenya in the first place if my country is that bad at least according to your misplaced opinion.

naijalander:
So because he can't speak English he's not intelligent? Why am I even arguing with you.

Intelligence can be classified as having or indicating a high or satisfactory degree of intelligence and mental capacity which obviously most Nigerians lack, or also defined as revealing or reflecting good judgment or sound thought : skillful.

Boyedex:
Y'all shouldn't be too desperate to be correcting language errors here. Nobody is above mistake including you. Yes you read me type errors because it's a countable Noun and can be used with an. So nigga was correct.
An error
A very bad error. Etc.

By the way its preceded with "an" (an error) not because of the reason you gave but mainly because its a vowel.... All vowels (a e i o u) are written with an when pointing out or in its descriptive form.

....if you were more keen in regards to the genesis of my reasons why i tried to correct your fellow Nigerian generator user brother, you will notice that he was the one who fired the first salvo in terms grammar. I only pointed the mistakes he made, its not like am a guru in English anyway.

Permit me to educate you further;WHICH can be used when referring to something previously mentioned(naijalander mentioned the Kenyan's post)when introducing a clause giving further information(which I did).Now,who is your uncle?Don't start what you can't finish,John.I pity Kenyan kids.

Well oga mumu, learning the difference between restrictive and nonrestrictive relative clauses could help you plenty...

obaaderemi:
Don't start what you can't finish,John.

I thought since you mix up your grammar with a mish mash of pidgin you forgot to insert "which" at the embolden word to differentiate between the restrictive aspect to a nonrestrictive one. Restrictive relative clauses are typically introduced by that, as well as by whose, who, or whom. Note that in British English, the word which is often used interchangeably with the restrictive that:

obaaderemi:
WHICH can be used when referring to something previously mentioned(naijalander mentioned the Kenyan's post)when introducing a clause giving further information(which I did).

Can you re read your sentence and see how stupid it sounds... you kind of look awkward expressing your ignorance on social media putting in mind i always find English as a very boring language.
Note that a nonrestrictive clause is preceded by a comma (setting off the extra information), whereas no comma should precede a restrictive clause (indicating that the information is essential, not extra):

obaaderemi:
The guy's grasp of English grammar is very poor.If you read what he posted and which you quoted,you will notice a very bad grammatical error which I pointed out to him and which he couldn't defend.He and his goon,gallivant,use embarrassing English grammar.They are the ones with little intelligence,pay them no heed,bro.

Bro, your grammar isn't something to write home about either.... This sentence is a perfect example of your tottering in the use of the language.

obaaderemi:
If you read what he posted and which you quoted

Its supposed to be, If you read what he posted and what you quoted.... that is in reference to one party which is obsolete in your sentence.

obaaderemi:
.....you will notice a very bad grammatical error which I pointed out to him and which he couldn't defend..

You use "a" when referring to nouns that can be classified in plural or singular form

Truth234:
The naira is seen depreciating further and may hit the 500 mark to the United States dollar at the parallel market next week as the greenback scarcity persists and the Central Bank of Nigeria cuts supply to foreign exchange operators.

The local currency was trading around N495 to the dollar on the black market on Thursday, compared to 485 per dollar last week due to dollar shortages, traders said.

The naira was quoted at 310.5 to the dollar on the official interbank window on Thursday by commercial lenders.

“There is an acute shortage of dollars in the market because of supply being slashed by half to Bureau de Change operators from international money transfer agents, pushing the naira down,” one trader said.

The BDC operators are now getting $8,000 each per week from Travelex against the usual $15,000 each per week.

The naira had tumbled against the dollar to 490 on Monday from 487 last Friday, as acute shortage of the greenback continued to batter the economy and the country’s foreign exchange markets.

Before falling to 487 last Friday, the local currency had consecutively closed flat at 485 for four days in the previous week.

The severe shortage of the dollar has put the naira under persistent pressure at both the official and parallel forex markets.

The global crash in the prices of crude oil, Nigeria’s main forex earner, has brought untold hardships on Nigerians.

Economic and financial experts said unless the lingering dollar supply problem abated, the volatility in the exchange rate and the consequent economic challenges might continue.

“The challenge with the forex market is still the supply issue; price (exchange rate) is determined by the interplay of demand and supply,” a currency analyst at Ecobank Nigeria, Mr. Kunle Ezun, had said.

Economic and financial experts expect the naira to weaken further against the dollar as the Christmas holiday begins this week.

They also argued that the crackdown on the parallel market forex traders and the persistent scarcity of the greenback would make further weakening of the local currency inevitable.

A few weeks ago, the naira closed flat at 470 against the greenback over a period of over a week.

The naira had plunged to 470, down from 455 on the back of a fresh dollar shortage at the official and parallel forex markets.

Dollar shortages have caused many companies to halt operations and lay off workers, compounding an economic crisis exacerbated by the fall in global prices of oil, which accounts for over 70 per cent of Nigeria’s budget revenue.

The CBN has struggled to support the naira as the country’s external reserves continue to fall.

Its a pity the Nigerian currency is rated one of the poorest performing currency in the world..... Did you know that the value of your currency is worth a tissue paper back here in Kenya, now you know.

ianSweet:
I wonder why all these cultureless, Ugly, Indian worshiping Kenyans will just insist on measuring shoulders with true culturally advanced and superior Africans like Nigerians.
Most Kenyans do not know who they are, black, Indian or white? Identity crisis, but we Nigerians know who we are and are highly proud.

Bravo, bravo...... Since Nigerians are leading in "culture" than even the Chinese or Japanese i guess you would also be among the first world countries. Its sad that all the manufacturing is done China, poor brainwashed Nigerians.

Naija4Fatality:
Finally am back!!!!
Ok let's get to business, kenya has a population of 48-54 millions while the population of nigeria is 184million

Welcome back Oga!!!!
As you said lets get back to business ASAP

Naija4Fatality:

Ok let's get to business, kenya has a population of 48-54 millions while the population of nigeria is 184million
=> nigeria standard of living is far better than that of kenya

This is not the joke section bro..... Nigerians are just dump

Poverty has risen in Nigeria, with almost over 100 million people living on less than a $1 (£0.63) a day representing 70%, despite economic growth, statistics have shown.
The National Bureau of Statistics said 60.9% of Nigerians in 2010 were living in "absolute poverty" - this figure had risen from 54.7% in 2004.
The NBS said that relative poverty was most apparent in the north of the country, with Sokoto state's poverty rate the highest at 86.4%.

In the north-west and north-east of the country poverty rates were recorded at 77.7% and 76.3% respectively, compared to the south-west at 59.1%.

imagine. i once plied the road on my way past a city known as Machackos, imagine an important road having just one lane...and yet these fools want to compete with Nigeria ?

You are now sounding more idiotic than my earlier anticipation... First of all Machakos is a town, not a city. Secondly the Machakos-Nairobi highway is underconstructing. Thirdly we are not competing with Nigeria, we are just using it as an example of how not to destroy your country and turn it into a the poo hole it is.

Very Ugly set of trains i must say, now compare it with these (states) trains in Nigeria

1.Rivers state Mono rail system

2. Calabar rail system

3. Abuja light rail system

4. Lagos light rail system

I didnt know "beauty" is the measure of success & development nowadays. First of all since you are ignorant on matters train you should do some research first before yapping on a social forum with half baked info. The pictures you showed are basically trams for a better word and runs on a mono-rail system. Its mainly a passenger service type of transportation system.
The Kenyan one is a standard gauge railway system which can support both electric passenger trains & diesel run for Hooper & double cargo container freight services trains.

arinzeejikonye:
Thats nice,you must also understand that it is not exclusive to your country nigeria is developing lagos-calabar intercity coastal rail line,lagos-kano light rail,lagos to ibadan etc,abuja to kaduna is completed already,lagos blue line light rail is nearing completion,while kano light will begin next year,its construction,the portharcourt mono,1st phase is done,but the new governor had refused its continuity n expansion,so you must understand nigeria is not folding her arms,we are upto something too.

Of course sir i acknowledge the fact that many African countries are seriously mulling over building new infrastructure.... but the question is since Nigeria has the "biggest" GDP as far as theory is concerned why is Nigeria not growing at the pace reflecting its GDP. Kenya withs it far less GDP is implementing infrastructural development at far faster rate than most countries. The percentage of growth in Kenyas GDP has remained at a constant 6% while Nigerias GDP has remained at a constant negative.

arinzeejikonye:
Nice trains by the way,i can feel how excited n flabergasted you are,you must understand that this never happened overnight,it took years of planning,execution and fruition,while you are at it,you must equally understand that other nations too are not dulling,they are equally planning,executing and realising too,so you shouldnt see to it that only good developments and infrastructural advancement is an exclusive of only kenya,while like some of you think,that like nigeria we dont have such or planning to have it,hence becoming so recalcitrant and repugnantly repudiative to the success of others,while you celebrate,others are equally celebrating theirs.

My excitement is not limited to just having trains but to the simple fact that the train services will make economic sense to businesses and businessmen like me who import cargo from China through the port of Mombasa. Transportation through the Mombasa highway takes 72hrs for me to get my cargo, but with the new trains it will take only 8hrs. For me to reach Mombasa it will take only 4 hrs in comparison to 24hrs that I normally use by road.

The train services & maintenance will be handled by the Chinese conglomerate side by side with Kenyans to ensure that the schedule are run to international standards.

The new manufactured Kenyan trains which includes passenger train, Hooper trains, cargo trains and freight dispatch trains.

arinzeejikonye:
Yea that sounds mysterious,
You must understand that militancy is hydraheaded,multidimensional and perpetrated as a subtenarean subtaffuge,
Even,the ioc,downstream mncs,n likes suffer from pipe line wreckage,vandalism etc,the issue is that,while at that there is contant repair and maintainance operation on those wrecked pipe,

Another issue can be that that,the old national grid system,left many pipeline on-surface,hence govt is burrying them underneath for protection

Another dimension,is that the locals felt cheated that the contract for surveillance of pipe line n oil assets was robbed off them by the present govt

Another of it is that,it is the only means to make their voice heard,even as this issues sprang,while the present govt attempted to hault the amnesty programme

Another dimension is that,during the military juntas in time past little or no allotment was given to the indegenes of niger delta in prospective oil licencing,extraction and production,which gave rise to marginalization,

Another thing to it is the neglect,environmental degradation,oil spillage,loss of aquatic resources,poor water heigyene,n destruction of farms due to oil exploration,extraction n production


Now there are calls for captive decentraliza5ion of production of alternative power source,in that,there is oil discoveries in the north,west and middle belt,apart from east n niger delta,hence,hydro dams, solar plants etc

While the need for govt to run an all inclusive govt,on the pivot of fairness,equity,equality and forthrightness.


There is the building of more refineries,both single line,modular,multitask etc ongoing,while also the rechanelling of pipe line,with more amphibious units of the army civil defence,navy ,airforce,mounting their surveillance and reconaissance on the national assets.


Another dimension to this is that,there is the lucrative busting of pipe line as a means of theft for crude and profiteering via oil bunkering by exparts n locals,

Another dimension is that the cabals of the downstream sector in tandem with iocs,vandaliae the oil facilities n pipes as a means of perpetual attraction of turn around maintainance -tam and repair projects to be awarded them by proxies of their companies.

All this are excuses to cover mediocrity and failure..... failure to plan is planning to fail, period!!!
The Nigerian system will take 100 years to reform since it seems Nigerians are readily available with excuses rather than solutions. Kenya had the Al-shabaab menace in terms terrorism and it really affected the Kenyan tourism sector and economic sense of it. We as Kenyans didn't start excusing the problem but faced it head on. Nigeria can not live on blaming the past and Onyimbo for even your future problems. Its either Nigerians accept that it has failed so that it can re-start its development agenda minus the excuses.

arinzeejikonye:
On electricity shortage of gas makes it unrealisable.

Am surprised that most Nigerians always use the same argument of lack of gas, petroleum products to run electricity producing generators on militants, terrorists and saboteurs. While at the same the foreign multi-nationals facing the same problems always end up meeting their production, supply and exportation of the same gas products despite the challenges.

ianSweet:
Nigerian entertainment and entertainers will continue to dominate Africa just as American entertainment dominates the world, all Kenyans will do is hate.
Infact, very soon, Hollywood and Nollywood will start going hand in hand .

This must be the worst comment of the closing year....hehehehehehe
Hollywood and Nollywood are like water and oil or Nigeria and electricity, they can never mix to form anything consumable.
The difference from Americas hollywood, Indias bollywood, Chinas "Wandahood" and Nigerias Nollywood is the quality and script of content provision that is produced. The poorest production in the group is obviously Nigerian nollywood that is famoulsly known for its poor picture quality, lack of sound effects, epileptic scripting, confused directing, broken story lines, dysfunctional editing and use of indispensable language that does not reflect the diversity in the intended consumers. The fact that subtitles are written in broken English and use of either pidgin english and a mishmash of several dialects that dont augur well with majority movie lovers.

When a Nigerian specifically set up this thread am pretty sure he was speaking from an informed view point and not from pure ignorance like most of you Nigerians who obviously have never set foot outside their village or state. Its even more annoying when we Kenyans are faced with poorly educated Nigerians suffering from effects of epileptic power supply and choking from excess generator fumes. Its soo frustrating being a Nigerian.
1. ICT
The Kenyan goverment has embraced ICT in its operational capacity for the Kenyan people in comparison to which the Nigerian goverment has systematically failed to do. A Kenyan can operate his citizen account at the comfort of his mobile phone 24hrs a day 7 days a week without passing through goverment bureaucracy. Kenyan Citizens and Foreign Residents can now apply for Government to Citizen (G2C) services and pay via mobile money, debit Cards and eCitizen agents.
