forgiveness: There are many of these buildings in Port Harcourt not to talk of Lagos, Lekki, Banana Island, Ikeja, Abuja were these are built every day. It is just that we don't go about snapping pictures with chinko phones.
Where are those pics that you snapped with a high-tech camera? Why do keep your country like a secret
nigeria is been held back out of desyne....did i write desyne well...??
english realy piss me off....
Yea these "whites" just want to demean other races, they'll tell you not do to what they already do.
Tho' other cleaner options like solar(the way Morocco is doing) and wind power(the way Kenya has done) should be exhausted first, cz it's not fiction that coalplant will have a bad impact as well...
forgiveness: Oga, I am talking about development. Mombasa na Calabar level.
You forget we're the most internet connected country, and our internet is one of the fastest in Africa, we can see and read everything about your country and towns.... Mombasa is wayyy ahead, calaba is not even near...
bantudra: soooo,selling your national key assets is not a problem....??
look,privatezation can be very bad idea in some vital areas...
nigeria privatized the electric sector and it didnt became better it even became worser sef....
now its been nationalized slowly again and electric is improving slowly again....
One of the main reason for privatisation is to let the private sector compete against themselves, the private sector in all those fields are doing much better than the government's companies(in exception of electricity company)...
In Kenya the power/electricity service is divided into three groups, there's KENGEN it's mandate is to generate electric from the source.
There's also KETRACO which mandate's is to plan, design, construct, operate and maintain high voltage electricity transmission grid and regional power interconnectors
And KPLC, which operates the transmission and distribution systems, and sell electricity...The Government has a controlling stake at 50.1% of shareholding with private investors at 49.9%. "Kenya Power&Lighting Company" is listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. And it is doing very well,
In less than six years, our household power connectivity has risen from less than 50% to almost 80% with almost zero power outages...
The government intends to sell KENGEN the same way it did to Kplc, of which it's a great idea...
Kenya to Sell Ports, Banks, Electricity Company etc. to China
The Kenyan government is getting ready to sell 26 companies to China, some of which are very key assets, in order to meet this year's budgets. While they say it is to help bring the government spending down, some of the companies for sale are major national assets and big money makers.. I smell a rat...from china!
Who said it'll be sold to Chinese?, ...I listened to a government's official explanation and I actually loved their intentions, there's no need for the government to compete with the private sector, and it'll be thru IPO where a minimum of 70% must be owned by locals...there's allot of work for the government that private sector can't do yet
rvp2018: There is no way that picture is of any nigeria city. Nigeria cities are just shitty looking. The source of that image is some article here that lifted a picture out of the blues
Runalong333: You must be new on this thread, the thread was originally Kenya vs naija but then the bashing of other countries was introduced, meaning inviting their citizens on the thread. I actually don't mind their presence here , if you do kindly logoff. It was an embarrassment that South Africa was always walking alone when you mention best airports, schools , auto sector, etc , it's good some African countries are also stepping up to the plate to compete . So what is the big deal , Nigeria beats both you and South Africa in some instances , South Africa beats both Kenya and Nigeria in many . Is beating South Africa or Nigeria is something you never expected, lol, you guys are as capable to do better ,no situation stays the same forever . So chill my guy.
Haha you guy, Nigeria doesn't beat SA and Kenya in anything positive in exception of big population, ...just name it,
Yobeezy: Hahaha just peruse the previous pages of this thread and you'll curse your dumb brain for uttering ignorances. Why are you so this bitter and ignorant yet the whole world knows more than 100 million Nigerians are living in abject poverty? Will someone harm you or what?
We know Nigeria just has a mere 17,000 dollar millionaires out of 200 million people while Kenya has 10,000 of them out of 50 million people,which disparity gap is so shameful here? Nigeria of course.
Let me remind you,whatever a Kenyan civilian worker is paid is four times to what a Nigerian counterpart does,that's why more than 26,000 Nigerians are camping in Kenya in search of opportunities. Just admit your country is a mess,even Nigerians living in Kenya have attested this scenario.
It's actually worse than that, these people are being miss used like slaves, they're being given a very shameful amount of money for salaries
Runalong333: I'm guessing this makes your economy better than theirs . When a country is going through political instability especially such a delicate country, the economy is bound to be affected, this is not rocket science, neither does it mean the situation is permanent . Nigeria has had the same problems , but that does mean that our economy should be compared to yours ? lol. Both the countries you are desperately trying to mock have shown their staying power for years now. I'm happy you guys are doing ok in some aspects but I think you are somehow getting ahead of yourselves with all the chest beating over small changes when most of your country is still in a mess like most African countries.
This thread was about Kenya & Nigeria, these busybodies invited themselves here...we're are also closing the gap with SA, we already beat them in some sectors
Donmedrac: A so called poor Nigeria is better and more healthy than an average Kenya..
I don't know how westerners rate millionaires in a particular city or state..
If you go to a busy market in Nigeria, you'll see an igbo man pushing wheelbarrow around, the same igbo man has 4 different stores across the country, the same igbo man have huge mansion in The city but still push wheelbarrow..
Do you really want to know how many millionaires are in Nigeria? Take a look at those south Africa slay queens, those Kenya big booties, those Tanzania girls packing to Nigeria and making millions per night..
An average poor Nigeria don't have money but eat 3 times daily and live in rural areas, those are the poor people westerners are talking about
It's not about that, it's about quality of life. You don't get quality education compared to Kenyans, you don't get a better healthcare, your children's mortality rate almost doubles Kenya's..., because of hardship of life, you die 10yrs earlier than a Kenyan, (Nigeria life expectancy 54/56, Kenya 65/68)...you don't have anything positive more than Kenya, name it...
Kazikazi: He he he he....Can any Kenyan answer this? Pwa ha ha ha..skinny lion? Yes very true. The Last time I checked,the lions population have dwindled drastically in Kenya.The reason? Lack of food.
What about albinos in Tanzania, have you lazy people sacrificed all of them ...
Nowenuse: You want to compare a civil war that took 3 million lives and burnt cities/financial centres to the ground? Do you know the cost of such wars? Or you want to compare over 30 years of military dictatorship to Moi's regime?
Yes you have Somalis I know, but what percentage of your population are they? (35%)?
Nigeria's inequality is not worse because the statistics used for judging extreme poverty does not apply to rural Nigerians. That of urban Nigerians is very understandable and acceptable, cos it is impossible to live in a city without spending cash, but it is very possible in rural Nigeria. Imagine calling people who farm and sell bags and bags of foodstuffs extremely poor. They may not have cash on their hands but they have acres of fertile lands at their disposal.
The military rule ended where was your development compared to Kenya by then? You were much ahead, so that's not an excuse.
The same way you defend your small scale farmers who depend on rain for survival, you should also know those indigenous Kenyan communities like the Maasais and others in northern Kenya are one of the richest people, they also depends on nature... So u should not brag about good rains, you have nothing to do with it...
Kenya's agricultural sector is much modernised than almost any other countries in Africa, in exception of those pastoralists
Nowenuse: The same internet has pictures of starving Kenyan masses to show, can you show me pictures of starving Nigerian masses? I dare you!
Western media with western based statistics claim half of Nigeria lives in extreme poverty because their industrialized society and minds cannot comprehend how people can eat well and stay healthy without spending a dime in a whole day. Well, we have been living that way for centuries here.

Nowenuse: @ TayserMahiri, Kur17, mtisTheQubit, Yobeezy, gallivant, Jonraid, GERALD710, Kikuyu1 and every other bragging Kenyan that will ever come to this thread.
You guys truly need to do something about the extreme uneven reality of that shithole you call Kenya. You guys can go ahead deceiving white foreigners and other observers who visit the CBD of Nairobi and other scripted areas in order to make them have good views of you, but you just really cannot deceive other Africans to take you guys any seriously.
Your country is a country that has the practice of robbing Peter to pay Paul. A country with the principle of taking advantage of the weak to fatten the strong.
For God's sake, how can a section of your country be living in stone age while another section brag of development or amenities of western standards? Imagine such level of double standards.
Nigeria for instance is a country where everyone is equally carried together in development, irrespective of tribe, religion or creed. This is because since ever, we have had state governments to cater for every region even when the federal (central) govt may neglect you.
How can a country have millions of citizens who starve year in year out, but yet chooses to use most of it's arable land for farming tea and flowers? Isn't that insanity? What ever could explain that?
This is the same thing that plays out in your cities. The negative effect of your fakeness, where just beside all the sky scrappers of your Nairobi, you have the largest slums in Africa sitted there and in these slums you have majority of the city's residents. The few lucky poor and low middleclass citizens who manage to escape these slums are crowded up in multiple story concentration camp houses without ventilation, just so that the few rich people can live in extremely luxurious and spacious estates?
You guys end up showing us the expensive grand buildings and structures being built in Nairobi but at the end of the day, only a tiny percentage of the populace have access to these. It's such a shame!
I respect a country like Tanzania with a lower GDP (nominal) where there is better even development across the country and a more affordable standard of living for the populace than your country where a huge section of the populace live in stone age and will need to travel hundreds of miles to ever see what a city or modern urban area looks like. Kenya, Your fakeness stinks! Go fix it!
Kenya as a country would never have been able to compare Nigeria at any developmemt index had we not been besetted by a civil war and decades of military rule just after our independence.
Some Nigerian cities were burnt to the ground during the civil war, but go to those places and you see bubbling and beautiful urban areas in those places today, whereas you will have to travel hundreds of miles around some parts of Kenya to see any sign of urbanization. You can imagine the country comparing itself with Nigeria. Kenya has never experienced a serious national challenge like war or decades of military rule, yet you wonder why Kenya is still dragging development with other African countries whose progress was stalled for decades by war and military rule.
Kenya would never be able to compare Nigeria in any human development statistics had it not been for the Core-northern muslims we have in Nigeria who form 35% of our population. They are like our major problem here. These people have a clear anti-western and even anti-development culture, yet other parts of Nigeria have been managing to drag them forward by force. This is what true fairness in a nation is all about, unlike your country Kenya where some sections are left to rot in perpetual darkness while others make progress.
When you were facing military we also had our challenges under Moi's era... You talk of northern Muslims we'll talk Somalis and other tribes from Ethiopia who are just as backward as your Bokoharam sympathisers...
Kenya started closing the gap just the other day wayy after the military rule...
Speaking of inequality, Nigeria, SA and Kenya have the same problem, in fact going by your GDP per capita with almost 50or40+% of your population living below poverty line you're worse off in inequality
Nowenuse: I am from Northern Nigeria. No one is starving in Niger republic which is 90% desertified and north of northern Nigeria, let alone Nigeria!
Nigeria is not like Kenya where Kenyatta family controls all the land and uses it for his private tea farming. All land in Nigeria is owned by communities and people who use them for farming food crops.
Most northern Nigerians get their income by farming food crops which they sell to the south. Now, explain to me how rural northern Nigerians (the poorest Nigerians) can ever starve?
Is that the case in Kenya?
The same Google that is telling you Kenya is starving is the same that says you're starving and almost a half of your population lives in extreme poverty...
