Actually "all" Abuja major roads are ten lanes and above, while the inner roads 8lanes , with very 6lanes

SOME PICTURES OF ABUJA INNER ROADS (you can never get this kind of roads in Kenya )

The same same road passing between the National Mosque and National church is what you keep posting. All Kenyan major cities have a road like this. Stop being foolish.

68816419:
we do not have such we have better ,very "FEW" of Abuja high ways (10 lanes at least ),plus all these roads are in different locations and not just one place

Then why are you posting photos of the same same roads over and over if you have so many of them?

68816419:
we actually don't have any issue with you PissedYagami, u seems to be a cool header person unlike "Nairobi journey walker "

Because I don't lick your 'asshole'. I give you a taste of your own medicine and that makes you mad and angry even though I say the truth while you speak lies (apartments in Muthaiga, white people in Kahawa Sukari, fake photos, lying you stay in Karen, lying Langata - a very well planned neighborhood, is a slum etc). You speak crap about Kenya, I speak crap about Nigeria, you get mad. That shows who's speaking the truth. The truth hurts.

ianSweet:
FYI, Kano is an ancient city, built by black Africans. This section of Kano is the ancient part. The Europeans came and met this place like this where black africans were already trading across the sahara. Kano state govt has decided to maintain this old portion of it's city.

Even Lamu is ancient but not shitty, Mombasa is probably older that Kano but not shitty. Being old is no excuse for being shitty.

ianSweet:
Many Kenyans just like to twist and hide facts. They will never show u these kinds of terrible schools in their country which are not even free.

As if you people are showing the terrible side of Nigeria. Where is Boko Haram pictures? where are the Lagos slum pictures? you're here cherry picking photos of the best parts of your country yet feel bad we do the same? The whole city of Kano is a slum yet you only post a small part of the highway traversing it. Ibadan is a dumb hole yet you post only the 15℅ that looks decent. Stop being deluded.

iblawi:
Kenya is better because living in slums is better and free education too is better than what you pay for.

I asked a simple question and you dodged it. Do you think Kenya is better than Ghana?

What is free about this education below.

Dude, 66℅ of Lagos (14 million people) live in slums and you're here worried about Kenyan slums? No wonder Nigeria is in recession. You guys are removing specks in other people's eyes while there are logs in your own.

PissedYagami:
Yes I am. I know slums exist. I know poverty exists. We are not in Western Europe. But I am sure you have some skeletons in your country,s closet too. And most of you guys having the thought of smaller countries bettering you at anything makes your egos explode. I am sure if it was not for the UN, some invasion might take place, and Ibawi would be the commander

Stop licking this dude's pussy so that he likes you dude. This guy has been saying lies about Kenya posting fake photos of slums, claiming there's no other city in Nairobi other than Kenya, insulting your own people yet you're willing to say nice things to him so that he doesn't think you're like me? Dude, have some respect and patriotism for your country. You're not here to be liked and even if you were,you don't have to fight for the approval of an idiot like this 688 guy. Look at those fake photos of supposed Nakuru slums he posted.

iblawi:
Sometimes they unnecessarily annoy me especially NairobiWalker

If the truths annoys you then you're advised to avoid me at all costs. I'll tell you all the truth you don't want to hear.

iblawi:
Did you observe that most of the pics they posted were in this short video?

Secondly, a white farmer with black workers.

Thirdly, all the nice estate they post here don't have people around because they are owned by Indians or whites.

Kenya and and poverty are brothers.

".......all the nice estates they post here don't have people around because they're owned by Indians or whites"

Dude why are you so dumb? So Indians and Whites are transparent and invisible? If they introduced the stupidity medal in the Olympics perhaps Nigeria will become a regular gold medal winner.

68816419:
same reclined CBD and adjourning areas pics... show us pictures of Garisa, isolo,mandera, marsabits,Wajii,Kikuyu,Kissi,Kiambu,Rongai(very bad place no single road),Kwale,voi .....all these places are 100% slums

pictures of norther part of nigeria (Kano state)

Why can't Nigerians built some nice decent beautiful buildings? What's it with this plain monocolored concrete behemoths? And are you people allergic to grass and greenery?

Boyedex:
This video highlights the good and bad of Nairobi. And good to know the anchor is a Kenyan. Everything they posted about Nairobi can be seen here. And it was stated that indeed, Nairobi has a population of 3 million and over 2million are slum dwellers. Yet only Nigeria got issues. Y'all should continue


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYNeHpShcFE

I could post hundreds of such videos of Nigerian news anchors claiming 90℅ of Lagos is slums. Meanwhile the whole world knows over 66℅ of Lagosians live in slum.

While there are many millionaires in Lagos, about 66% of the population lives in slums. In fact, the city has been dubbed the "mega-city of slums ," with millions living in and around the lagoons with no access to roads, clean water, electricity or waste disposal. The World Bank has identified 9 of the largest slums of the city for upgrading with a $200 million loan from the United States, which would benefit about one million people. One large slum is Makoko, which has no security and rampant crime.

68816419:
hahahahah. you are crazy my guy, all northern and coastal parts of Kenya are slums(excluding some part of Mombasa, malinidi)
garisa
mandera
isolo
mombasa

You mean Malindi and Lamu below are slums? See, your second largest city is a slum and you clearly can't handle it. Stop posting fake photos. Below are photos of Malindi and Lamu - Kenya's coast.

iblawi:
Is this still Nairobi?

I'm sure it's not.

A source I posted earlier says 200 slums in Nairobi alone.

Your brother has been delt a big blow with the 'normal' Kano housing I posted he's now run out of insults to trade. See, he's listing names of decent neighborhoods claiming they're slums and posting fake photos here. For instance my family lives in Langata and below is a photo of Langata that he claims is a slum. The foreground of the aerial photo is also Langata.

68816419:
hahahah funny guy , visit those places and confirm them yourself stop getting your pictures from "Google search" , Nairobi alone have 94 slums, meaning over 92% of it population leaves in slums
imagine nairobi alone having that high numbers of slums, it means Nakuru,Eldy,Mombasa.Kissi,and the whole of northern part of Kenya(about largest part of the nation) are made up of made up of slums

If Kano is a slum(which is not), then Nairobi(excluding CBD and Indians areas, whites), eldoret, Nakuru(excluding the CBD and Indians areas as ), Kissi, Kikuyu and all northern and coastal part of Kenya (excluding some parts in Mombasa) are huge slums then
Imagine having all these slums alone in Nairobi?
lists of "some" of the slums in Nairobi alone (populations not less than 50,000)

Non of the photos you're posting are Kenyan, stupid. Would you mind naming the city to prove it? You think Kenya is like Nigeria with huge unplanned cities? Funny you mentioned so many places yet couldn't post a real photo of those places because you knew you'd blow your own bubble

iblawi:
You are the most foolish on this thread.

So you are telling me standard gauge line are built for carrying people only abi? Even our old narrow gauge railway still transport cargos from Lagos to other parts of the country.

Our light rails are intra city rails. Abuja Kaduna railway is SGR

You're brainless. You can't read so you make your own points in your head and argue against them. I didn't even say SGR carries passengers - in fact I said the opposite. I was responding to your stupid comparison of a passenger trains speed to a cargo train.

forgiveness:
Hehehehe! Kenya cities; Kenya only has two cities , One has the highest numbers of slums in the world with the population of 2.5 million out of the whole city 3m.

The richest people in Kenya are Indians and oyinbos.

Kenyan government controls the market like Nigeria used to do in the 60s. i.e their banks, telecommunications, insurance, education, etc. Even their skyscrapers are built by the Government.


Kenyans think they are better than Nigeria because they have indigenous malls and highest skyscrapers.


Kenya is naturally beautiful and tourism is developed. I must go there and I must advice my aunties to explore Kenya.

Kenyan government is building railway.

Kenya has 24 hours electricity.


Kenya business men are only dominating East Africa.

Kenya is giving free education, free medical care( free surgery, free dialysis, free kidney transplant, in short Kenyan citizens don't pay shi shi (nothing) for health care.

Kenya government is working.

And bebe lo....

Actually 90℅ of Nigerian cities would be considered slums in Kenya. Look at what most of Kano (your second largest city) looks like - the whole of this would be considered a slum in a city like Nakuru.

iblawi:
So the train you are launching will travel at 100km/h while we already have rail (Abuja - Kaduna) traveling at 150km/h.

Kenya will always be behind Nigeria.

One train is an SGR train built to carry the heaviest cargo while the other train is a light passenger train built to transport passengers at the fastest speed possible. I hate to say this but most of you guys have proved to me that Nigeria's education system is a joke with your ignorance.

68816419:
Very Ugly set of trains i must say, now compare it with these (states) trains in Nigeria

1.Rivers state Mono rail system

2. Calabar rail system

3. Abuja light rail system

4. Lagos light rail system

You can't compare light rail to SGR dude. Oranges to apples.

iblawi:
Lagos to Abuja is almost 800km and we still use less than 12 hours by road.

He just proved that Kenyans don't have good roads. Mombasa to Nairobi is just 400+km and you use 24hrs on that short journey. No wonder Kenyans are celebrating 8 lane roads.

Thank God for UN Habitat and African development bank.

Did he say he transports his cargo to Nairobi? LAWD, some of you are really thick, lol. There are several places in Kenya other than Nairobi.

arinzeejikonye:
If you go back to my previous discuss,you can recollect i opined that,the privatization was tripatitely disintergrayed into generation coys,transmission coys n distribution coys,power generation is no bed of roses,it is hugely capital intensive,as you cant achieve them over night,many works are being put in place ,by q42017-q12018,we should be reaping the benefits,this is owing to a populace of almost 200million.

Overnight? Nope buddy - this is not an overnight thing. You got independence before Kenya and have had all the time. You have more resources to provide constant electricity than Kenya (More rivers including the third longest river in Africa, Large deposits of crude oil that has been under production since the sixties, large human resource, longer coastline) yet Kenya has a constant electricity supply and you don't.

arinzeejikonye:
Common dude,whats with the hate words,cant you make your points without name calling,why all the unnecesary insults,you have to be open minded to understand some things about us as a nation,there are many sad things one can be unproud of nigeria,and there are good things to be proud of too,




On eduation,you can check out our universal basic education,it is totally free,all over the federation,apart from this there are myriads and lots of alternatives,ranging from private schools,missionary schools,islamic schools, etc
For the secondary schools,it is based on merit,via a common entrance test,for one to enroll into unity schools,there is about two or more unity schools in the36 states&f.c.t,of which the fees is very low,n affordable to poor and average nigerians,apart from this,there are state schools ,which are hugely subsidised,as govt caters for all the needs,the students are meant to pay megare amount for miscilenous.

On electricity,we told you we currently have the capacity to generate 7,500,mgw,but shortage of gas makes it unrealisable,we also told you private sectors like total,oando,dangote are building gas production facilities,and pipelines network to cater for these needs,many hydro dams are nearing completion,more gas turbines n plants are also,n ipps are been built by industrialist and states,the northern states are also developing solar plants as we speak,nigerians will begin to reap these fruits from q4 2017-2018.

You keep talking of capacity - do you know what capacity means? You might have the capacity to produce 100,000MW but end up producing only 1000MW of which only 400MW reaches the consumer. See the difference?

solbil:
our industries gave us a far better GDP and GDP per capita so that we have the wealth to bribe your neighbours to beat a hell out of you when you misbhave,

GDP and GDP per capita are just cooked figures. A country that can't provide a basic need like electricity to its citizens and proper security from the likes of Boko Haram yet claims to somehow bribe some group to bomb another is a country made up of fools being led by fools.

solbil:
A country is comparatively superior to the others if it has

1. Superior culture with a wider reach

2. An economy that affects the economy of the other countries far and wide

and

3. A military that can back up its diplomatic and political power.

Culture:

compared to Kenya, Nigeria not only has an attractive culture in language, fashion, music, literature and life style, Nigeria has exported these things to other parts of the black world and we are already begining to see a so-called Nigerianization of those countries as can be clearly seen in the posts i have posted here.

Because of the power behind our culture soft power projection, we are stiring an identity crisis in countries like Kenya.

Every where you go to in the black world, every one wants to put on our agbada (the Kenyans here even know the names of our fashion even though we know nothing about theirs, making a statement of wider culture reach), they want to tie our gele, want to speak our pidgin english, want to eat fufu, pounded yam and egwusi while listening to Psquare's bank alert.

Economy: Nigeria's economy is not only the largest on the continent, the economy of Lagos, one of the 36 states in the Fed Rep, is worth more than the entire economy of Kenya and per capita, Lagos with its 1025mw of electricity, has 100percent distribution to everyone in the state in every corner of the state therefore, the lagosian has more power consumption than the average Kenyan.

Not only is Nigeria's economy larger than the whole of Kenya's, Nigeria's economy has a direct impact on the economies of neighbouring countries.

Over 90percent of west african manufacturing is done in Nigeria. Nigeria's Lagos port feeds other countries like Niger, Chad and the CAR. When we turn off the taps in Nigeria, there will be no gas supply in the West African gas pipeline running from Nigeria westward through Benin Rep, Togo and up to Ghana. Nigeria's borders are a source for Neighbouring countries to bring in their goods to sell in the largest market on the continent.

Nigeria's banks are all over the west Africa sub reagion, east africa like Kenya, Uganda etc, and also in central africa too.

Nigeria's Dangote group have cement factories in 14 African countries from senegal to Kenya, Ghana, the DRC, Cameroon, Zambia, Ethiopia, etc.

Nigerian eanergy companies explored for oil off the west coast of west africa ad were successful finding oil in senegal. NNPC, the state owned energy company in Nigeria is partnering with Kenya, malawi etc to develop their newly discovered energy.

Nigeria's globacom has tentacles all over Africa too.

Political and Military stength:

Nigeria been the largest concentration of black people anywhere else in the world took upon itself at independence in 1960, an afrocentric foreign policy which is aimed at the complete decolonization and the restoration of Africa's dignity through peace and prosperity of the newly emerging African countries.

This is the reason why shortly after independence when Zaire decended to war, we were the ones who sent down troops there to keep the peace and our top military commander was the commanding officer of that UN Peace Keeping mission. His name: Gen Aguyi Ironsi, the first ever military head of state of nigeria.

When it happened in Seria Leone and Liberia, we and our democratic alies in the ECOWAS sub region took a bold step formed the ECOMOG to enforce peace in both countries and ensure democratic dispensation and a peaceful transfer of power from one leader to the other.

When the military coup happened in Sao tome and Principe, it only took a phone call from Olusegun Obasanjo threatening the coup plotters to vacate power and it did!

In the ECOWAS parliarment, Nigeria hlds 40 seats out of 90 giving us an almost 50 percent of the seats in parliarment. To get a resolution in that house, we only need to persuade a few people to come to our side.

We have a military that is capable of building and advancing its own systems, and has demonstrated time and time again that it could deliver a mission thousands of miles from its borders.

In East Africa, Kenya doesn't have that political and military superiority to its neighbors. Its military is a joke when compared to the ethiopians. The Tanzanians are up there with their new discovery of gas, to compete with Kenya in the economy space.

As usual STATUS OVER SUBSTANCE. You brag about your music, Nollywood, Personality, Influence and everything else that's subjective yet you don't talk of your living standards and things that benefit every ordinary Nigerian. lol

THE NIGERIANIZATION OF KENYA!!!!

Currently, we are all about Nigeria. The
average Kenyan will sooner recognize
Desmond Elliot or Genevieve Nnaji than
they will Oliver Litondo or Lizz
Njagah.Kenyan women strut proudly
wearing gele (a Nigerian head wrap) to
weddings, and are easily mistaken for
Nigerians in international functions.
Statements like Body no be wood and
Everything na double-double are common
nowadays. Because I have had the
opportunity to make tons of Nigerian
friends, I am fluent in Nigerian pidgin. This
is already a form of butchered English, so
to speak, so I cringe when I hear people
butcher it further in an attempt to appear
trendy.
Far be it from our musicians to be left
behind. I have heard phrases such as â
€œthe Nigerianization of Kenyan gospel
music.” People talk about this like it is a
good thing. I wonder if it has crossed
anybody’s mind that while we are
busy Naijanizing, nobody seems to be
Kenyanizing anything because –
especially in the arts – nothing Kenyan
enough has been made fashionable
enough to copy.
http://www.mwakilishi.com/index.php/content/blogs/2012/07/26/what-is-the-true-kenyan-identity.html

Kenyan women have been wearing head wraps since time immemorial. Stop fooling yourself.

solbil:
don't mind these jealous people!

They keep boasting to us that they have more power supply than we do have not knowing that their little 2000mw goes round the few people connected to the grid more because there aren't many industries.

We talk about our issues, while they don't talk about theirs. That's why they are ok with their govt giving them just 2000mw and distributing that little amount to just a few people in Nairobi and leaving the vast majority out in the dark.

Stop being an idiot. Industries are supposed to make your life better not worse. If you have more industries then you should be having a better electricity supply.

naijalander:
I don't think you realize that Nigeria has exported more culture to the world than Kenya has. It takes economic, political and religious influence to export culture. Kenya is beautiful, Naija is just exceptional.

Lol.....are you talking of Nollywood and your music? See, the whole of Jamaica has a GDP less than a half that of Nairobi's with a shitty economy but Nigeria will have to work extra time for decades to take its music where Jamaicans have taken theirs. This culture thing is really taking a toll on you - Kenyans are all over China, Europe, USA etc teaching Swahili and you don't see us viewing ourselves as better individuals for exporting our culture. lol.

naijalander:
Kenya was a settler state during colonial times hence the whole white people and Indians thing. Which is not necessary as until their collective GDP exceeds the kikuyu industrial complex's GDP.

I don't blame the Nigerians that think Kenya is backward anymore I blame the Kenyans who think the whole of Nigeria can be summed up in Nollywood story lines.

.....as somebody who has lived in Kenya why would you support your country folk who've never been to Kenya when they claim Kenya is owned by Indians and Whites when you know it's not true? Some girl here who says she's been to Lagos only once (I even doubt if she's ever been to Lagos) and sounds completely uninformed and untravelled has been spewing so much ignorance here about Kenya while you watch yet you get mad when a Kenyan mentions that Kenya has better HDI than Nigeria.

naijalander:
I'm not dying to have a Kenyan woman either but I do appreciate the ones I have met. But never more than the Nigerian women in my life, get over yourself.

You said yourself that one of the reasons you like here is the women and many Nigerians share your sentiments.

naijalander:
Yes. This I have no argument against but then holistically, Nigerian men are more responsible to women than Kenyan men. This does not mean Kenyan men do not make fine husbands to their wives, in fact many of the most recent married ones have completely reinvented Kenyan men to be romantic and down to earth, I think ages 25 to 45 have more control over their women because they are employed and and have been influenced internationally by what they see. I appreciate Kenya because people there have an accommodating spirit which nurtures growth. It is only in recent years the good people in Kenya began to take control.

Uhuru was tear gassed a few years ago now he's president. Kenya is growing and is prospering but she often forgets her benefactors and gets overtly nationalistic.

You mean as nationalistic as the woman who claimed a few minutes ago that Kenya can't compare to Nigeria because Kenyans live in the forest and are backward or when she denied that there's no electricity in Kenya live alone 24/7 supply or do you mean as nationalistic as your leader who claims Kenya is behind Nigeria in everything? Are they as nationalistic as the Nigerian dude who claims the whole of Karen, Westlands, Kahawa Sukari and Ruiru are full of white people?


Thank you for mentioning Kenyans are accommodating - it's interesting that even with this knowledge you watched as that 688 guy ranted on how Kenyans hate other Africans especially Nigerians and Somalis.

naijalander:
My point is that only Kenyan men who prove to be responsible and straight forward get Nigerian girls.

Kenyan men can date Nigerian girls any time anywhere they want. See, the difference between Kenyan and Nigerian men is you are completely IN LOVE with our women. Many of you are here mainly due to our women (including you who said it a few posts ago). You are all dying to get a Kenyan woman. Meanwhile we Kenyans don't feel the same of your women - that doesn't mean we can't date Nigerian women - hell if I mean a beautiful decent Nigerian woman I'll gladly date her but I'm not dying to have one. I am not wishing to visit Nigeria just for the women. You see the difference?

naijalander:
Yes because y'all don't live up to your responsibilities.

On this Nairaland forum alone there are uncountable threads of Nigerian women complaining about their men. Women complain about their men everywhere.

naijalander:
Goldie (GOD rest her soul in perfect peace) was a good woman but that was entertainment. And I do have Kenyan friends that date Naija women and prefer it to dating Kenyan women.

An older friend of mine even married a Nigerian lady and its been good so far(I guess). If you feel Nigerian women are all about make up that's just your low self esteem, what is bad in a woman who desires to look good for her man? Why are Kenyan men usually straight up intimidated women in make up?

This does not mean Nigerian men love plastic , the focus is the desire to make a spouse happy. Make up generally gives women confidence.

A few posts ago you said Kenyan men can never get a Nigerian woman (the post I responded to with the Prezzo and Goldie story) now you're hitting us with a plethora of examples of Kenyan men dating Nigerian women. You're shooting yourself in the foot.
