PROVERBZ:
its also a good thing DAT uve found it hard to leave our forum

haha I mean sa has nothing DAT can brush shoulders with dis one

plus I find ur reasons very stupid Nigeria has a population of 140 million people on this forum 1 million people using dis tread might number 20 about seven Kenyans and two south Africans. am just wondering which masses

EVERLASTING FOOL!!!

The main reason we Kenyans & South Africans are on Nairaland is basically because Seun doesnt have a problem with foreigners being on his own website. Unless you co-own it then that would be absolutely another case, furthermore there are more Nigerians who dont have an issue over our existence in Nairaland.
Nigerians outside Nigeria, mainly in Kenya paint a grim picture of the situation back home. I know a few who have live here in Kenya illegally doing small time hustle who swear that they better stay in a Kenyan jail than be free in Naija.

naijagotjokes:
It rather obvious Nigeria has more % of it's folk in urban slums than anywhere else in Africa. Although I would describe some cities like Ibandan as a complete city slum.

I now feel the Nigerian guys are now turning this informative post into the joke section material....
What next, they will be claiming how Abuja is better than Madrid or how Sicily pales in comparison to Lagos. We might also hear that Enugu is far better than Abu dhabi or that Dubais Burj Khalifa was just built a few years ago. Nigerians will kill me with their misplaced "pride"/ignorance/idiocracy.

Oxtonguy:
1.Makoko(worstest slum in Lagos
2.Soweto(worstest slum in johhanesburg

The delusional rate at which Nigerians are getting to is now worrying. Hehehehe..... Next you will be comparing Agege or Ajengule slums to cape Town or Port Elizabeth. Jeez!!! Nigerians are just simply loonies.

highheybee:
Yeah...everyone loves south Africa because they don't brag that's why even Nigeria dominating ECOWAS with almost 70% we still don't ridicule Ghana,ivory coast and it's likes so when a country like Kenya come here bragging it's jez like a tyro....they are far from Nigeria...they jez built their tallest buildings past two years and then dey form ....pls how much Na fee and Capetown university or Pretoria @mpsa

Dint know the quality of life of a countries citizen is measured by the tallest buildings in a persons country, or how long ago they built their skyscrapers. Jordan is one rich country, their currency much possibly stronger than the dollar but lack the population, the skyscrapers nor the major Lagos roads. So in essence can we say that Amamam, Jordan is less developed than LAgos or Nigeria.

Sometimes Nigerians got jokes.

Wikipedia tho
I got the percentages from here
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2046.html

Unicef has clearly sated that over 70% of Nigerians in 2015 period are living below the poverty line. The trend is set to continue in 2016 with a steady increase in Nigerians falling into thye poverty trap.

Oxtonguy:
You educated ignorant 33% is that of Nigeria,42 % for Kenya.Check that below

Poverty has risen in Nigeria, with almost 100 million people living on less than a $1 (£0.63) a day, 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 bureau predicted this rising trend was likely to continue.

Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil producer but the sector has been tainted by accusations of corruption .

According to the report, absolute poverty is measured by the number of people who can afford only the bare essentials of shelter, food and clothing.

https://www.ruralpovertyportal.org/web/rural-poverty-portal/country/home/.../nigeria

Some 70 per cent of Nigerians live on less than US$1.25 a day. Poverty is especially severe in rural areas, where up to 80 per cent of the population lives below the poverty line, and social services and infrastructure are limited. The country's poor rural women and men depend on agriculture for food and income.

https://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/nigeria_statistics.html

Despite Nigeria's plentiful agricultural resources and oil wealth, poverty is widespread in the country and has increased since the late 1990s. Some 70 per cent of Nigerians live on less than US$1.25 a day.

The fact about Kenya tourist and reserve centre is just like Nigeria being blessed with resources...I doff hat for those tourist centers though I've always knew that about Kenya...so literally with Nigeria mineral resources adding to our revenue is the same as Kenya reserve and tourist stuffs.....

NATURAL RESOURCES EARNING
NIGERIA- $160B in 2016 oil revenue
KENYA- $2B in Tourism revenue

Nigeria earned 160B dollars in revenue from its major natural resources in contrast to Kenyas 2B dollars in its natural resource. What i amazes me is where does all that money go to? Its just perplexing to say the least that Kenya outshines Nigeria with only 2% of equivalent of Nigerias 160B revenue.

Kenya passenger service vehicles- Matatu

funny bro.you know they usually misconstrue the fact that shoprite being the anchor tenant of some mall space. doesn't necessarily mean they own the mall itself

Shoprite- How can a foreign retailer importing almost all essential commodities from outside Nigeria including basic food stuffs like bananas, eggs and even tissue papers be something to brag about.
Nigerias billionaire Dagonte is in the process of opening a milk value addition plant to cater for the Nigerian market demands here in Kenya. This venture benefits the Kenyan dairy industry and farmers directly since the Kenyan dairy sector is driven by small scale farmers in Kenya. Its a shame Nigeria is over dependent on the oil sector with prices that fluctuate.

forgiveness:
Our banks and insurance companies are examples of Nigerian companies becoming the HQs of Multinational companies in Nigeria

Glo network, Dangote, Arik air, Oando, Con oil, GTB bank, Zenith bank, First Bank, etc are all Nigerian's companies becoming multinational. And all these companies have their headquarters in Lagos.

Is there any multi-national company in Nigeria beyond west Africa?
Safaricom M-PESA- Its has grown beyond borders & is based more than 100 countries
NAKUMATT- It has become a regional shopping hub based in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania & Rwanda.
KCB Bank-It has branches in South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda & Kenya.
Kenya Airways- It is an international carrier flying to Europe, Asia, Africa & middle eastern countries.
KTDA- Kenya Tea Development Authority is a multi national body dealing in the marketing of Kenyan tea which is considered the best quality in the world.
UCHUMI SUPERMARKET- Is a multi national shopping establishment in all major east African countries.

...you are still a newbie in the game so all those projects makes you think is what makes you better...then you are sadly mistaken...when you say all sectors...please kinda highlight those sectors in which you are better... all this touting about ports doesn't make you better

Its not about skyscrapers buddy, its all about social well being of the Kenyan citizen. To Nigerians what is basic needs for a Kenyan are only a luxury for Nigerians.
How can 24/7 electricity be a luxury to all Nigerians while in Kenya it costs only $150 dollars to get connected to the national grid.
How comes Nigerians suffer fuel shortages & get the commodity more expensive while Kenya has never had any shortage at a lesser price
How comes Nigeria has an inefficient port serving 180m populace but Kenya has the second biggest port in Africa serving less than 80m
How comes Nigeria doesn't offer subsidized medicare while Kenya gives free maternal and child services free of charge
How comes Nigeria cant offer free education to its children while Kenya has free primary education
How comes Nigeria cant give education new learning technologies while Kenya is giving its children free laptops in schools
How comes Nigeria Nigerian universities don't support students while Kenya government gives free loans to university students
More can be said but its impossible to find anything to copy Nigeria on!!!

Nigerians give us one aspect we can copy from you please?

highheybee:
With the way Kenya is moving,even in 5years time they would be on par with Nigeria maybe ...

Hahahaha.... What is there to copy in Nigeria? To be at par in what terms. Nigeria is the one that is playing catch up and i assume it impossible to match up either to Kenya. Nigeria sincerely hasnt anything to offer Kenya except only on how not to be a an example to other countries on how to waste 520B US dollars

highheybee:
Hmmmm...do you know that they call family planning...the higher the number of your Children the harder it is to cater for them....we gained independence in 60 and you got yours 63 and you saying thrash that we should be four times developed than you are...give a family of four 5$ and a family of twenty the same amount,obviously the four will live better but in this case it's the other way round...we have developed industrially way more than you.... people should really think before posting stuffs...four times my foot....you talking about malls...so from your thinking...China should be over 20times developed than south Korea...or what are you spitting

Are some people for real

Nigeria GDP- 521B
Kenya GDP- 55B

Are you for real? You are 10 times richer than Kenya yet you are lagging behind in all sectors. I wonder where Kenya would have been with that amount in their economical and infrastructural capacity building. Currently Kenya is giving South Africa a run for its money in all departments without the natural resources like gold and diamonds feeding its GDP.
Kenya currently boasts of the second biggest port outside S. Africa. Its building a second bigger port in Lamu Kenya. Another bigger inland port that will be fed by the new standard gauge railway system is in the process of being actualized in Naivasha.

highheybee:
Funny when kenyattas deviate from track...we talking about Atlantic city creating jobs and for Nigeria as a whole you talking about breakdown of Nairobi...hmmmm...seems your words are meant for you...kinda comprehend before quoting niqqa....


All those stuffs are not needed here.....Nairobi economic prospect...what are we saying.are you for real...

You have have always not been the brightest candle in this forum in terms of your debating skills.... it isn't a surprise you dont know the correlation between a Cities ties between its economic impact to its populace.

highheybee:
Keep saying it...as far as know,abuja is not meant for the rich alone while Lagos is meant for the whole category you could ever think about in Nigeria...while port Harcourt is meant for all also...

You saying eko Atlantic is meant for the rich is a poo...it will provide over 150000 jobs...and 250000 residents...so all those are also rich...even if they are,the Lagos state energy state is taking care of that as it's also located in Atlantic city it's main goal is to provide a luxury life for the average people....mainland people

You said you have been posting pictures of yall hometown.. excluding Nakuru,eldoret,mombasa and Nairobi....pls tell me the essence of the rest other than you posting picture of forest reserves...we all know nature is beautiful so posting those pictures doesn't translate into anything...I live in osun and going to the shrine I can post lotta beautiful pictures or the Erin ijessha shrine buh all those are nature doing not man made...post pictures of man made doing...Biko...not some girrafe or hippo...

Let me be a little educative since your level of ignorance is beyond apprehension. I will give you a breakdown of the cities and towns in Kenya and their influence on the local community/ies.

ECONOMIC PROSPECTS

1. NAIROBI
Industrial zone-basic utility manufacturing
Government amenities(Parliament, Senate, office of the President) etc
Transport hub- JKIA (Jomo Kenyatta int. Airport)
Tourist attraction- Nairobi National park, Nairobi animal orphanage, Bird watching & site seeing -Karura forest
Medical Hub- Kenyatta National Hospital(Biggest in East & Central Africa)
Academic Center- Kenyatta Uni. Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture, Nairobi Uni, Strathmore etc

arinzeejikonye:
The bridges.roads.rails.airports .seaports even some of the high rise are built by govt.

Which one of these actually benefits the local Nigerian populace? Nigerian contributors to this forum have only been showcasing the affluent areas where the few minority rich leave but ignoring the actual topic..... The Kenyans have tried to show you the different projects initiated by the government to revolutionize the local Kenyan citizen at the grassroots. But the Nigerians have turned it into a dick measuring contest where instead of comparing which public hospital is the biggest Nigerians are busy showing us how the few millionaires are the beneficiaries are benefactors of their oil wealth.

Abagworo:
It's a fallacy to compare Nigeria with Kenya. Nigeria has over 10 cities with population exceeding 1million and over 20 additional cities with population exceeding 500k. There are some things you just cannot compare like New York vs Port Harcourt.

Nigerians 10 cities with 70% poor population, dilapidated medical sector, crippled electricity supply, disoriented education system, no running water, missing hygiene and lack of basic infrastructure. 23,000 dollar millionaires with the biggest GDP in Africa but only benefiting a few!!!!! Nothing to be proud of there.

Henrydone:
Wow eko atlantic is really progressing please can u bring more pictures from that region.

You guys are really loosing focus, the main topic was on the social-economy of Kenya and what the Kenyan government is doing different that the Nigeria goverment has failed to do. The issue of skyscrapers does not impact directly to the common citizens since they are private entities. I would rather you show me pictures of government funded and built up hospitals, schools and major impacting amenities that benefit the average Nigerian.

Hehehehe! You can say that again. We have been fed with lies.

Imagine all African flooding to Europe, Asia and America because of that for holiday.

What stops Nigerian to visit Nairobi for holiday or Kenyans from visiting Calabar for holiday?

We just go to Europe to waste money.

I will convince one of my Aunties to try Nairobi for holiday instead of wasting money to America and London every year.

Make Kenyans self promote us ooooooo.

Now we are talking, initially i always wanted to come to Nigeria to get a feel of what we always see in Nollywood movies. Thats the more reason i joined Nairaland, but the negativity i got from Nigerian bloggers and news items in regards to Kenya were not only mean but a pointer to the systematic degradation of Kenya and its people. But now i am starting to let go off the perception that Nigerians are not at all that bad, lets keep posting pictures of our countries please.

This pictures are repeated after every 3 pages or less.... You can see the Kenyan guys are showcasing their home towns while you guys are only concetrating on particular small portion of Lagos only. We have probably shown you not less than ten cities/towns from Kenya but you only manage to show only a hint of the more than 10 or 15 cities/towns that you have.
