Nigeria has all these things. Can you do your research please!

Yes i did and i noticed that you lie alot, well probably all Nigerians don't have the affinity to be truthful...

1. Nigeria doesn't provide a student loan facility for higher learning
2. The Nigerian government does not provide free education in its entirety
3. The Nigerian goverment doesn't give individual pupil free laptops

16 Sad Facts about Nigeria Education

1. Authorities have limited operating resources & autonomy.

Some local governments receive nothing once teachers’ salaries have been allocated. Improving efficiency requires the decentralization of power along with support from federal and state governments to ensure an adequate flow of resources to the poorest areas.

2. 39% of adults cannot read or write.

This reduces their ability both to participate in the economy and to provide learning support to their children.

3. Conflict in Nigeria has destroyed 28% of schools in one State

Violence concentrated in the North has destroyed many schools and forced many others to close, and in some cases teachers and children have even been attacked. In Borno State, it is estimated that 15,000 children have stopped attending school as a result of the violence.

4. Only 2% of married adolescent girls are in school.

By comparison, 69% of unmarried girls are still in school. Those with a secondary education, on average, get married two years later than those without – which in turn has an impact on maternal health.

5. Nigeria is projected to be the world’s fourth most populous country by 2015.

This rate of population growth translates to about 11,000 babies born everyday. That is 11,000 babies a day who will need schools, materials, and qualified teachers from an already insufficient system.

6. 34% of girls are out of school in some areas.

In the same rural areas, 25% of boys are out of school – a huge disparity. The disparity is smaller in the South where rural areas have less than 4% of girls and 3% of boys out of school, and in Southern urban areas where the disparity is less than 1%.

7. There are 109 pupils for every satisfactory Nigerian primary school classroom.

This represents a shortfall of 523,346 primary school classrooms – 59.95% of the total needed. At the secondary level there is a shortfall of 170,642 – 67.63% of the total needed.

8. No government or agency is clearly accountable for results.

Local Government is responsible for basic education—but does not have budgetary power, which is mostly at the federal level. This creates perverse incentives for the LGAs to keep enrollments down or hire less expensive and therefore unqualified teachers.

9. 40% of primary school teachers are not qualified.

The lack of teachers is particularly acute in the Northwest and Northeast, where only 50% and 53% of teachers are qualified. The Southwest has close to 100% qualified teachers.

10. Only 29% of students who start secondary school graduate on time at 17.

If you include up to 24 year olds to capture late starters and repeaters, then this goes up to 75% – but still a quarter of students never finish.

11. Almost half of students who have completed grade 6 cannot read.

In some areas, as many as 72% of grade 6 students cannot read a complete sentence. Clearly there is great need to improve the quality of schooling through improved teacher to pupil ratios, better training and resources.

12. About 80% of children do not have textbooks for all subjects.

About 60% of primary students do not have a mathematics or English textbook, and materials in languages other than English are scarce. Teachers are lacking books too; in many areas fewer than 15% of teachers have a teacher’s guide.

13. Children under 15 make up 44% – and rising – of the population.

The youth population has placed great pressure on the education system and is partly responsible for the reduced percentage of children in school. Nigeria’s population increases 2.6% each year.

14. There is an average of 49 pupils per primary school teacher.

The recommended ratio is 35 pupils for each teacher. At the secondary level, the ratio was 62:1 in 2009. Classes can be especially large in the North where the average class size is 56 students, almost twice as many as an average classroom in the South.

15. 9 million children have never gone to school.

90% of students are not in school at primary age – around 9 million children have never gone to school at all, which shows how pupils can be totally excluded from the education system if early opportunities are missed.

16. The largest number of out of school children in the world.

In total 10.5 million children – almost half – of primary school aged children are out of school. While in some areas enrolment rates are as high as 99%, overall enrolment rates are dropping, partly due to an increasingly young population.

Nigeria is just far ahead of Kenya in :-

Educational sector
(Nigeria is better here because we have over a dozen universities than can be ranked well here in Africa unlike Kenya with only 2 or 3 standard universities and Nigerian schools are damn cheap with school fees as low as $100 per session making it accesible to even the poorest people)

So many more points which i will continue to list.

Hahaha.... is that the best the Nigerian goverment can provide in terms of education?

I have been viewing this thread from the beginning and the only aspect which i can clearly agree that Kenyans beat Nigeria is tourism & Airline transportation.

In aspects like Sports, Military and Power supply i'd say it's a tie.
(Kenyans will argue about power supply but they should not forget that even they have more stable power supply, Nigeria's power supply meets 99% of it's citizens while in Kenya only 60% of it's citizens have access to power supply).


So many more points which i will continue to list.

75% Nigerians lack access to regular power On November 10, 20152:06
By Sebastine Obasi
Despite the huge investments made in the energy sector since the privatisation of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, about 75 percent of the Nigerian population still live without access to regular electricity supply. Power Power According to The Nigerian Association of Energy Economists, NAEE, despite statistics indicating that 45 percent of the country’s population is currently connected to the national grid, regular supply is still restricted to just about 25 percent of the population. This is coming as the International Finance Corporation, IFC, said that constant regular power supply will ensure overall prosperity and development for Nigeria. Most of the people with access to electricity are found within the urban areas of the country, thus leaving citizens in the rural areas with less access to electricity supply. NAEE therefore raised concern on economic redundancy in these parts of the country, adding that despite the importance of energy to economic development, large proportions of Nigerians still lack access to electricity. The National President, NAEE, Mr. Wumi Iledare, who stated this at the 2015 World Energy Day, said energy contributed greatly to the transformation of the world and provided comfort to the human race. He, however, noted that the association was concerned that majority of Nigerians do not have access to energy, stressing that for those with some form of access, availability and quality still remain major issues to contend with. “Nigeria has vast and varied energy resources, both renewable and non-renewable resources. The nation is also the largest economy in Africa with a GDP (gross domestic product) of about $531.8 billion, according to the World Bank, yet the nation still faces serious energy poverty issues, with energy supply falling short of energy demand. “It is estimated that the nation has as much as 90 percent deficiency in electricity supply while in off-grid areas where some 50 percent of Nigerians live, access to electricity is practically zero. Even in on-grid areas, power outages are still a recurrent theme and this has continued to pose serious constraints to economic development. “There is obvious inequity in energy access based on levels of income, and location. Access is nearly 100 percent in developed countries, compared to 60 percent in the developing countries.

We are Kenyans, we know it and appreciate that fact.... the issue of this thread was to show us the beautifull aspects of Nairobi and the country at large.
If you feel you have the obligation to show the other not so beautiful side you are free to open your own personal thread and post it. Please respect the administrator of this topic and the amount of work, money and deication he/she has put into making this thread have more than a million views.

For a country like Nigeria that patronizes even basic food commodities is a clear indicator of a retrogressive backward nation. All other African countries are seemingly moving forward so fast yet Nigeria is stagnated in the 1980s rhetoric of we are giANT of Africa crap.... Am surprised the only notable bragging right most Nigerians have are in terms of poor population control and lack of family planning methods.

i knw you would brig the pride of Kenya "Thika Extra super high way " a road been maintained by your Chinese master, well their
here are few high ways of Lagos

The reason i brand some Nigerians among the continents idiots in terms of intellectual capacity is mainly because of comments such as this.... How or why is it bad/not good to use roads constructed by "our chinese masters" paid by the Kenyan taxpayers to build, maintain and ensure that Kenyan taxpayers get the best quality of what is paid for. Its a suprise since the biggest importers and consumers of China made merchandise in Africa are Nigerians yet you are here egoistically puking verbose that makes least sense.
For me i would love it if the Chinese would also venture into the Kenyan real estate and more public infrastructure since the consumers who are Kenyan citizenry will benefit from the efficiency of massive Chinese foreign direct investment portfolio.

A Nigerian who was deported from Kenya twice for drug trafficking was arrested again in Nairobi on Wednesday.

Emmanuel Inobemhe was arrested in Obama estate, Kayole, after a tip off from members of the public.

Area police boss Ali Nuno said Inobemhe had been deported for drug-related issues but could not explain how he sneaked back.

The Nigerian has been handed over to the Anti-Terror Police Unit for interrogation.

This followed claims he has been in touch with suspects on the police radar for terror-related activities.

Inobemhe was arrested in Nairobi’s Donholm estate in September 2013, four months after his first deportation,

He and a woman named Virginia Wangeci were allegedly found with 425 sachets of heroin with a market value of Sh85,000.

The foreigner had been deported in June 2013 with Anthony Chinedu over drug trafficking claims.

solbil:
the fact remains that the whole world knows that Nairobi is not the Paradise you people want us to believe it is. There is a Mighty Kibera slum in Nairobi. This is far bigger than the makoko, ajegunle and Nyanya wew have in Nigeria. Infact, it is so shameful that you people try to hide it in the map of Nairobi by marking the area as a vegetation.

And yet there are thousands of Nigerians flocking to that Kenya with the Kibera slum.... I have never heard a Kenyan go to Nigeria to "hustle", begging the question why do Nigerians youths risk death to immigrate to other countries while they have a "planned city" Abuja. Have youked ever as yourself why Kenya is deporting hundreds of Nigerians daily? Most probably coz they see the potential that Kenya can offer compared to Nigeria. Nigeria is one huge shit hole.

Kenya beautiful

solbil:
the fact remains that NO AFRICAN COUNTRY HAS 24/7 POWER SUPPLY, NO ONE!

Secondly, Infrastructure is infrastructure it doesn't matter if it was put in place by the govt or private individuals, fact! Our country generates 4000mw of electricity, but our homes, banks, companies etc all generate their own power! In the words of 'iko Damgote (and i'm sure you are familiar with that name), "even if the federal Govt improves on power generation, we are still not going to use it because it cheaper to generate than taking from the national grid". For your information, the excess power generated by Dangote companies are sold to the national grid and used by the community the company is situated.

And for health care, it is ridiculously cheap here! Last month when i got down with malaria and typhoid, i got treated in all, it was 1500naira and that's about 3dollars. So what exactly are you telling me?!!!!

NIGERIA IS A SERIOUS JOKE

Hahaha.... joker. I know you are so used to Nigerian mediocrity that you assume any other African country is as shitty as Nigeria. There are three major dams in Niger State, Nigeria. The Kainji Dam built in 1968, Jebba Dam built in 1985 and Shiroro Dam built in 1990. A fourth dam is being built at Zungeru, also in Niger State but has failed due to acute corruption. These are all hydroelectric dams and generate only a potential combined power output of 1,900 megawatts.

Two more power plants shut down in Nigeria, worsening power crisis

Nigeria’s power crisis has worsened with the shutdown of two more power plants, bringing the total number of plants offline to ten.

The 1020 MW gas-fired Sapele plant in Delta state (pictured) and the 600 MW Shiroro hydroelectric plant in Niger state were shut down on Tuesday.

According to Nigerian media reports, the power to one unit at the Shiroro plant was tripped, triggering an emergency shutdown, while two other units are offline for repairs and a fourth is offline for maintenance.

At the four-unit Sapele plant, one gas turbine is reportedly offline for maintenance, another is offline while the Nigerian Gas Company undertakes unspecified work, and two units are sidelined due to gas constraints.

Meanwhile, generation at the 1320 MW Egbin power plant, Nigeria’s largest, was limited to 415 MW on Tuesday due to gas constraints, down from 1085 MW on March 15.

The country’s power generation on Tuesday totalled 2775 MW, down from 3657.5 MW on 31 March, with many regions experiencing total blackout.

The Ethiopia that you are talking negatively of is years ahead of Nigerian rotten systems

ETHIOPIA
Electricity
In 2009 less than 10% of Ethiopians had access to electricity and the country was plagued by power outages. In order to overcome this situation, the government has embarked on an ambitious dam building program. Three hydropower plants with a combined capacity of 1.18 GW were commissioned in 2009 and 2010 alone, more than doubling the previous installed capacity of the country. The largest hydroelectric plant in Ethiopia, Beles, began initial operation in May 2010. Contracts for five more large dams have been signed. Once completed, which is expected to be around 2015, these dams would increase the installed capacity by more than 11 GW from less than 1 GW in 2008. The construction of more large dams is foreseen in a Master Plan that aims to bring capacity to 15 GW.

ETHIOPIA/ERITREA LIGHT RAIL
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-37562177
It links Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, to the Red Sea port of Djibouti - a stretch of more than 750km (466 miles).

Travelling at 120km/h, the new service cuts the journey time down from three days by road to about 12 hours.

The $3.4bn (£2.7bn) project was built with the help of funding from a Chinese bank and will have Chinese staff.


ERITREA
As of August 2003 the government was constructing additional electrical distribution lines. In 2002, net electricity generation was 243 GWh, of which 100% came from fossil fuels. In the same year, consumption of electricity totaled 226 GWh. As of August 2003, Eritrea had about 60 MW of diesel-fired generating capacity.

Mr Kibera slum dweller. The bigger a country is, the more evil it is likely to be known for. I told u this.
I told u that the Nigerian tribe known for this practice are just about 2% of the population of our country.
I am from the northern half for instance and the 90 million of us in our part of the country never practice such.
For Kenyans to be involved in so much terrible news, some even worse than Nigeria is a shame because u guys are just too small in population to be known all over for terrible news. Ok?
Kenya has a higher Hiv rate than Nigeria FYI. And that of your ladies is twice that of your men. How come? Since all u guys are saints?

Its shameful that you think by attaching the 1% negativity to other countries then that it will diminish its achievements.
1. The highest number of illegal undocumented immigrants in Africa are Nigerians.
2. The biggest number of drowning and carcasses found in the European waters or Libyan desserts responsively are Nigerians
3. The biggest polio afflicted country in Africa is Nigeria.
4. The only oil producing country in Africa that has concession-ed 98% of its oil blocks to foreign firms
If Nigeria concentrated on even distribution of resources like the number of flyovers that are used to mint money through exaggerated construct constructs then it would have been a first world country.

forgiveness:
They said Kenya is ahead of Nigeria but facts says otherwise.




There is no single planned city in Kenya and there is only two planned cities in South Africa.

Nigeria has one internationally planned city.

So how does this planned city help the common Nigerian citizen access stable 24/7 electricity? Does the presence of that "internationally planned city" ensure that the state of healthcare model is free or cheaper. Has the planned city stopped the millions of Nigerian youths stowing away or immigrating illegally to other countries?

Jealousy is thier major problem

Jealous? What the hell, who in his right mind would be jealous over anything in Nigeria? Jealous of a mediocre country, non-existent social amenities, rotten political systems, worlds biggest economical disparity...... Nigeria is just a basket case.
1. Why would a Kenyan exchanging at 100 to a dollar be jealous of a country whose exchange to the dollar is at 450 and cant hold steady.
2. Why would a Kenyan be jealous when his country can guarantee free/ cheap healthcare in class rated medical facilities
3. Why would a Kenyan be jealous while his own country guarantees his child free primary education, subsidized secondary and free loans on University
4. Why would a Kenyan live 24/7 electricity supply to go to a country that doesn't guarantee stable electricity supply.
5. Why would a Kenyan be jealous when his own country provides clean reliable water and operational sanitation services.
