naijalander:So as a matter of perception this is Ibadan near the town center and you cant clearly compare your upper middle class with our lowest middle class. It will be unreasonable and falacious since you personally have managed to leave in Kenya. You have certainly had the opportunity of visiting other major towns in Kenya, lets be honest and accept that thou we have the poor in certain areas in Kenya their lifestyles are far better than the average "frugal" Nigerian.

highheybee:The image i have for SMEs(Small medium enterprises) in Nigeria is not only demeaning but an embarrassment. The state that your retail markets and agricultural market goods are sold are in conditions that hygienically unacceptable. The Kenyan government embarked on a program of rehabilitating market areas to accommodate small businessmen with a secure and clean environment by building public ultra modern markets.

Godgay:OK.... I will try my level best to lower my intelligence to your level Godgay:I checked your southern "rich" parts of Nigeria in comparison to Kenya about their infrastructure since they have the same population. Does the south have this? 1. Kenyan new SGR( Standard gauge railway)|Serving both passenger DF11g, Freight-double stacking DF8 and shunting 2. Mombasa port(Second biggest in Africa) overhead railway bridge for freight services and passengers 3. Mombasa light rail metro bridge 4. DF8 freight- Doubling stacking.

chebeoc:You are really making Nigerians look stupid despite there being brighter ones. chebeoc:https://www.unicef.org/nigeria/children_1937.html 40% of Nigerian children aged 6-11 do not attend any primary school with the Northern region recording the lowest school attendance rate in the country. Increased enrollment rates have also created challenges, It is not rare to see cases of 100 pupils per teacher or students sitting under trees outside the school building because of the lack of classrooms. chebeoc:http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/poor-rating-for-lagos-education-intervention-projects/ Recall that on November 7, 2014, Vanguard did a report of the Ajeromi Ifelodun Secondary School, AIJSS (alias Sinclair), in the popular ghetto city, Ajegunle, titled: “Lagos secondary school where students sit on floor, windows to receive lectures.” In the school, Vanguard gathered that the JSS1 and JSS2, annually, parents whose children got admitted into JSS1, are usually compelled to pay N2, 000 for the provision of furniture (chairs and desks). It was learnt that parents who failed to pay the said amount have their children sit on bare floor, tyres, broken furniture, classroom windows, or even stand during lessons. Arguably, this is the situation in some of the schools across the state, especially those in suburb areas. chebeoc:KENYA http://www.kengen.co.ke/ KenGen is the leading electric power generation company in Kenya, producing about 75 percent of electricity capacity installed in the country. The company utilizes various sources to generate electricity ranging from hydro, geothermal, thermal and wind. Hydro is the leading source, with an installed capacity of 819.9MW, which is 51 per cent of the company installed capacity. Geothermal is currently at 533.8MW (of which 81.1MW is from the innovative wellheads technology raising geothermal capacity to about 32% of the total installed capacity. Our total thermal capacity is 253.5MW while wind comprises 25.5MW. Following the full operationalization of the 280MW Geothermal plant in Olkaria, the national electricity consumption by mode 47% geothermal, 39% hydro, 13% thermal and 1% wind. (KenGen) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the French Development Agency (AFD) underpinning funding of up to Ksh6.9 billion (60 million Euros) by the French Government for the development of the 80 MW Meru wind project. NIGERIA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_energy_supply_crisis Nigeria is one of the most populated countries in Africa but only about 40% of the people are connected to the energy grid. The people who actually have power experience difficulties around 60% of the time (Aliyu, Ramli & Saleh, 2013). Nigeria’s energy grid is arguably in crisis due to lack of development. There are approximately 162 million people living in Nigeria. Of these people about 70% them are living below the poverty line of one dollar a day (Ejiogu, 2013). Currently the only plan the government has in place to help solve the energy crisis is to expand the fossil fuel burning sector (US Energy Administration, 2013). Nigeria has a reputation of having one of the most corrupt governments in the world (Ejiogu, 2012). Currently the only plan the government has in place to help solve the energy crisis is to expand the fossil fuel burning sector (US Energy Administration, 2013). http://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21693971-nigeria-has-about-much-electricity-edinburgh-problem-powerless |

chebeoc:http://themarketmogul.com/wealth-inequality-nigeria/ Poverty in Nigeria Absolute poverty in Nigeria (earning less than a dollar a day) has increased from 55% in 2004 to 61% in 2014 and 71% in 2016 in contrast; there are almost 16,000 millionaires currently living in Nigeria representing less than 1% of the population, a 44% increase in the last 6 years. This is expected to grow to 23,000 by 2017, which represents a 47% increase. In Lagos, which is Africa’s most populous city, wealth inequality is most prominent and is home to 9,500 of these millionaires out of a population of 30m. These figures represent a huge issue with wealth distribution in the country and are attributed to a number of factors embedded within the Nigerian culture, system and policies. Contributing Factors The main factors that contribute to wealth inequality in Nigeria are corruption and high governance costs. Corruption Corruption is a major issue that is contributing to the increasing wealth gap between the rich and poor in Nigeria. Corruption has been ever present since the country’s independence in the 1960’s and it now seems to be an issue that is embedded within the Nigerian system and culture. Cost of Governance As long as corruption is embedded in the system, the cost of governance will continue to remain high. A report by the Sahara Reporters in 2012 found that it costs Nigerians $8.3 billion to pay the salaries of those in politics. In 2012, $7.4 was to be spent on developing infrastructure, but only half of this was spent towards its development. To put this into perspective, it meant that for every dollar spent on infrastructure development in Nigeria, two dollars are spent on salaries of those in politics. CONCLUSION 16,000 dollar millionaires in comparison to 180m population Nigeria spends more money on paying 5000 politicians than on 180m people Nigeria has the worst economic implementation system Nigeria has the biggest wealth disparity vis a vis GDP |
Godgay:http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-17015873 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. |
Godgay:Nigerians should learn to take defeat graciously.... In terms of infrastructure and development growth, South Africa is leap and bounds beyond Kenya. Kenyans accept and appreciate this fact thus necessitating it as a country to emulate the model the South Africans used to get their systems currently working. You wont find Kenyans bad mouthing South Africa over petty issues like pointing out that whites built the country to its current status. Appreciating the strength of your opponent and learning from them is what any country should emulate, not pulling them down to your backwardness. Nigeria has a big GDP, but does it translate into the common Lagosians, Abujans financial status? No! Nigerians GDP provides a falls sense of per capita to the general population of Nigeria if only the entire 520B ends up in the pocket of 5% of the entire population. How comes of the 30m Lagosians 80% live in informal settlements/slums while its GDP of the city is bigger than Kenya as a country. Its time Nigeria accepted that it makes no sense to talk big on figures and numbers while the ground gives a totally different reality. |
Henrydone:So lets get down to the basics... One thing I agree with you is that: NIGERIA 1. Nigeria has a bigger population than Kenya 2.Nigeria has a bigger GDP than Kenya 3.I think its only 1&2 only KENYA 1.Kenya has free primary school education to all children 2.Kenya has free medical care to all children aged 5yrs & below 3.Kenya provides free maternity to all expectant mothers. 4.Kenya provide student loans to all university going individuals in both private & public university. 5.Kenya provides the cheapest electricity connection to all citizens in East & Sub Sahara africa.............50,000/= Naira |
