don't quote me, pls.

Then don't post lies please.

freshest4live:
And Yet Kenya has a smaller landmass than Nigeria, can you imagine.

Kenya's slums are just more advertised and as high as 90% of some of your cities are slums yet you classify them as normal. Just go to Google maps and see. Some of these Nigerian cities appear like a large heap of slums on Google maps.

freshest4live:
its not about the gdp figures but about the dependence of Goverment revenues on oil, and we get nothing more than 60 Billion dollars from oil in total. Tax is almost non existent in Nigeria especially from many informal sectors.

Educate your friend on that. All in all, I still think the Nigeria GDP figures don't add up. I could excuse the low budget figures but low figures yet with a deficit? That's just a no. I can't see how a country that claims to have a GDP as high as $594B in some years can fail to finance a $20 B GDP whether they're dependent on oil or not.

obaaderemi:
Hahaha,it's now obafool.No,problem,nobody is using their real name here.Whatever.But you still have to explain why you say Nairobi's GDP is larger than Lagos' GDP for us all to see.That shouldn't be rocket science even for someone with the brain of a housefly like yourself.Don't try to wriggle out,just simply say you were under the influence when you typed that poo.

I see how hard you're trying to twist things and propagate your own lies.

Obafool, I already explained to whoever I quoted. Stop trying too hard to remain on my radar. You're so irrelevant it's useless to discuss anything with you. I know after kwametut bleeped you in the ass you're trying hard to start an argument and score a point so as to heal your wounds but nah. Calm down or every Kenyan and S African here might just Bleep you in the ass again.

obaaderemi:
Obaboon or 'baffoons'- whatever that means,that's all water off a duck's back.Your stupidity was too much to ignore,Kiberawalker.That's why I broke my rule and quoted your silly Lunje arse.If you can not explain what you mean by Nairobi GDP and Lagos GDP,you remain the illiterate you've always been.See how you've ridiculed yourself finally.

Why would I waste my time explaining stuff to a buffoon who can't understand the simplest of contexts? Move along Obafool. Continue doing what you do best - insulting people randomly because you have no point to make. I know you miss me going by how often you mention me despite vowing to ignore me but please buddy, your head bears no intelligence enough to spark my attention. Just move along.

samsobo24:
1. Nigeria.
2.SouthAfrica
3. Egypt. *(loading.... Lag..)
4.Morocco
5. Lagos *

With the completion of the major projects in Lagos and the 3,000MW power,Lagos will control Africa,Lagos means business

Don't quote me if you don't even understand what you're posting yourself.

WIZGUY69:
The GDP of Lagos is twice that of Nairobi. Lagos - $131 Nairobi - $65

......and the population of Lagos is four times that if Nairobi.

Obi1kenobi:
Those negative figures from what I can see are only measuring the budget deficit. It has no reflection on the actual monetary size of the budget. Also, while I can see the sense in the question of measuring the dollar value of Kenya's currency and Nigeria's, I'd still say its application here is low. We're not comparing Nigeria to Norway here where the price of a beer might be almost 10 times higher than in Nigeria. It's Nigeria and Kenya: two African 3rd world nations. Many things are costlier in Nigeria than Kenya. Many analysts have pointed out Nigeria's road construction industry is one mega scam. Our costs per km of road are some of the highest in the world. The same applies to bridges, tunnels, flyovers etc. Just read the absurd figures that were quoted for Fashola's Ikoyi link bridge, Kwankwaso's Kano flyover and compare the cost of the rail project in Lagos with countries like Tanzania, Ethiopia and even Kenya. Nigeria has some of the highest cement prices in the world. So there's no fair metric to objectively measure what Kenya's budget can do compared to Nigeria's.

As I pointed out earlier, several analysts of our budgets have pointed out how abysmally low it is and how it can accomplish next to nothing. At a minimum, every country should be looking at at least 10% of its GDP as budget. Many countries are higher as 20% like Kenya. The US runs a $4 trillion budget from a GDP just over £18 trillion. We can't even hit 5%.

Thank you.

forgiveness:
Did you read Nairobi Prime Minister?

Besides, I meant Governor but if you think otherwise, sorry, you can't change the facts on ground.

This one will deny his own mother to score a point. lol.

samsobo24:
Don't get you,what do you mean,Explain
Lagos swallows East Africa as a whole

Lagos GDP (The cooked one) = $91 B, Lagos population estimate = 17 - 21 billion

Nairobi GDP = $39 B, Nairobi population estimate 5 - 6 million.

With a population 4 times that of Nairobi, Lagos has a GDP only slightly above twice that of Nairobi. See? That's it now. You can't compare the richest part of Nigeria to the whole of Kenya. If you have to do comparisons compare the richest to the richest. Nairobi has a disproportionate higher GDP in comparison to other sections of Kenya just like Lagos to Nigeria. See, I can't use the fact that Nairobi GDP is almost as big as the entire Ghana's to claim Ghana is way poorer than Kenya.

obaaderemi:
Are you mad?GDP of Nairobi is far smaller than the GDP of Lagos.

Obaboon, what happened to you not quoting me? No thanks. I won't waste my time educating baffoons.

shervydman:
God bless u. u're a learner, i'm a learner too.
annual budgets deals with income and expenditure of a year. it is truly dependent on revenues. don't forget that annual budgets for every year are planned the previous year, i.e 2017 budget has been budgeted since late 2016. every country on earth budget in their local currency because majority of the budgets are spent internally. u buy n sell in ur country with local currency.

GDP; as u've said earlier is the total value of goods and services provided in a country during one year. GDP deals in dollar cos it involves international trade, dollar is the accepted currency internationally. u trade with the world in dollar.
budget= local currency
GDP= dollar.

now that every currency around the world is different, price of commodities varies around the world. u may buy a 50cl bottle of cocacola in Ghana for approx. $1 and I buy mine in Nigeria for approx. $0.25. remember; a 50cl cocacola bottle is the same all over the world. Ghana's 2017 budget is 45b cedis approx. $11.2b cos dollar=4 cedis. Nigeria has a budget of 7.4t naira approx. $21b. so, u wanna tell me Nigeria's budget is only about $10b shy of Ghana's budget?? that's the case with Kenya too.

in order to make it simpler for learners like us, economist compare budgets by % of GDP. check the link below, u'll see what I mean. Nigeria's budget is -2.1% of our 2016 GDP. Kenya's budget is -7.8% of their 2016 budget. even lower than ours by faaaar in terms of %.
https://tradingeconomics.com/nigeria/government-budget Nigeria's budget
https://tradingeconomics.com/kenya/government-budget Kenya's budget.

if u get me, reply. if u don't, lemme know.

Dude, the links you're posting are of Budget deficit. Nigeria's budget deficit is bigger than Kenya's. It simply means Kenya is more capable of funding it's budget than Nigeria yet has a bigger budget than Nigeria. Gives me more reason to doubt your GDP figures.

Obi1kenobi:
The last time I did economics was in secondary school, so I'm certainly not an expert, but I don't see how that makes sense. GDP is simply the total value of goods produced and services provided in a country during one year. It has nothing to do with the government budget. The budget would normally be dependent on government revenue and loans may be taken to finance deficits. Nigeria has a very low government revenue due to most of the revenue being derived from crude sales and crude oil only accounts for about 15% of Nigeria's GDP, but well over 90% of our Forex earnings (since we export little else) and about 80% of government revenue.

My friend, it's hard educating some of your countrymen. One just gets tired. Perhaps he will learn considering it's coming from you, a fellow Nigerian but it's hard bro.

Muafrika2:
So if this Eko is being developed at the rate of two buildings per 20 years,

How long will it take for all its 1200 high rise buildings?


Formula: (1200 blgs/2) × 20 yrs = 1200 years ( )

No wonder its a MILLENNIUM development goal

Hahaha!!!

forgiveness:
This same foreigner with her husband are good friends of Nairobi mayor, Prime Minister and President.

How come your elites trusted them?

They know better.

Danfo is cool but you may live in Lagos for years without entering one because there are many means of transportation in Lagos.

There's no Mayor or Prime Minister in Nairobi. You've burst your own bubble Mr. Liar.

Danielnino00:
I'm curious about something tho.. If your budget is so much more than ours and its being implemented (according to some of ur folks here,your budget is being well implemented unlike ours), how come your country's economy isn't bigger than that of Lagos..

I mean for a country to spend so much, there must be positive results.. and the result mostly reflects in the economy.


Don't talk about the population difference pls. we all know Kenya population is twice that of Lagos and Lagos doesn't have oil

Why are you comparing the GDP of the richest part of Nigeria with the whole of Kenya? Please do a comparison of the GDP of Lagos to Nairobi and you'll see what I'm talking about.

GERALD710:
He cannot. Because we do not allow Imports from Ethiopia from foreign companies.Ethiopia is not part of the East African Community.

Keep educating Obafoon. The thickest head I've ever come across.

kwametut:
WE KNOW YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW YOURSELVES THANKS TO OUR SUPERIOR UNIVERSITIES... Agege thats where Obafool lives.

Obafool, Obaboon. HAHAHAHA!!!

freshest4live:
And yet when same sources tell you we have 70 percent poverty rate or that lagos is the worst city in the world, you believe them even when we tell you it doesnt corresspond with the reality on ground.

Just like you believe 60% of Naurobians live in Kibera.

iberrylee:
Kenyan socialite Vera sidika is so obsessed with our men,even Hilda monroe can't stop running after Us they are hunger bad muggy slay goats, is it that you Kenyans don't have rich men or what or u don't have nice looking guys.

Who seduces the other between men and women?

samsobo24:
Let this stop,I don't subscribe to competition like this,we Nigerians should stop,likewise Kenyans even on a Nigerian forum.I blame Our leaders for their misdeeds,if not,how can a small country like Kenya be comparing their selves with a gigantic and populated country like Nigeria.
I want to say this,despite that,Nigeria is still more better,take it or leave it,without insult.

You start your post with 'I don't subscribe to competition like this' then go on making the most ridiculous comparisons ever. What a hypocrite.

TayserMahiri:
The education some of these people went through is suspect. Another idiot you quoted cannot tell the difference between zuckerberg's Net Worth and Kenya's GDP.

Some people here need divine intervention.

4. Canaan does not exist as a nation today. Other three nations exist -- Egypt, Ethiopia
and Lybia.

we are safe for now

It doesn't explain Mongoloids and Negroids.

realjoker:
I can't count of number of times other guys here has asked you to get a decent life to live. It is a known fact that you guys over there counts antagonising Nigeria or engaging Nigerians on social media as achievements, but no one cares. Just limit your act of buffoonery here to a bearable minimum, I have no time for unnecessary back and forth worthless arguments you are known for and won't take jibe as compliment.

Funny coming from someone who spends his time antagonizing Kenyans.

TayserMahiri:


The same can be said of many other countries.

Actually, the same can be said about all countries. Every country is unique in its own way. This 'Nigeria is a giant because it's unique' narrative that keeps on being narrated on this thread just exposes some Nigerians ignorance. I makes me conclude most of these people have never left Nigeria. A five year old should be able to tell that uniqueness is a universal trait.

realjoker:
the worth of your economy is the value of Your gross domestic products (GDP) and last time I checked your GDP is slightly below $70b while Mark Zuckerberg worth more than $70b

Net worth and GDP are two different things dude. Stop talking about things you don't understand.

realjoker:
and the irony of this is that Mark Zuckerberg net worth is slightly bigger than the entire economy of Kenya and it's company revenue larger than the revenue of 98% of Africa countries

What do you understand by 'economy'? You guys really have a shitty education system.

Shaytun:
Try and ask the average kenya about nigeria and he/she will have something to say(either good or bad).

Ask an average nigerian about kenya and the highest you will get is a blank look.

Likewise a Kenyan about Austria and he'll have something to say. Ask a Nigerian about the same and the highest you'll get is a blank look. It simply means Kenyans are more informed and better educated dummy. Reasons why our literacy rate is highest, university enrollment is higher and our universities rank better than yours.

Lionessza, you've taught people a lesson on this thread today. I can't believe I'm feeling sorry for them.

kikuyu1:
Am here! Where else? I was shocked; I listened to the judgement AND NO JUDGE REFERRED TO STOLEN VOTES!! The problem isn't IEBC,Chebs or Chilobae but one dude who won't accept the will of the people[b]. Even if the UN,the Queen or Putin handles the election he'll reject inevitable loss. Fyi,this time we'll win 60-40%,minimum-you read it here first![/b]
Btw,a tribunal will deal with political judges soon enough. This episode is a reminder of 2 things:
-why detention was and is necessary
-opposition losers like Tsvangirai and the Ivorian guy are the ones who cause problems rejecting results!

Hahaha.....good luck bruh.

mtis:
Dang it We going to polls after 60 days again ...

Where is Kikuyu1? Hahaha!

nwoke37:
The Nigerian government has just donated $1 million cash and 315 tonnes of relief materials to Sierra Leone. Giant of Africa!

Just that? Kenya donates this kind of money to other countries all the time.
