How do you jump a storied building wenedem?

TayserMahiri:
There is ethnic differences in kenya but every Kenyan has Kenya deeply at heart.

TayserMahiri:
That settles it. Even a short word like Oga, has to be shouted. Can the word Oga be whispered btw?

TayserMahiri:
Really bro, I also doon't like how fast their population is growing. Kenyan Somalis are nice people tho. I think we will be lucky even if they become the majority because they are likely to have many factions opposed to each other.

TayserMahiri:
That right there is a tragedy/ dillema. They are both illiterate and smart at the same time! Don't remind me of this Muhhamad thing! People killing others over cartoons drawn in a different continent. Oh Afrika

TayserMahiri:
I meant, you guys had two separate regions at independence and went on to divide them into states.

obaaderemi:
He must find a way to smuggle in kenya even if it is the backdoor.

NairobiWalker:
I could rank Kenyan counties from the wealthiest to the poorest then cut at 50% population and the result would be the same.

Shaytun:
All african nation are riddled with corruption, it is not only limited to nigeria.

Nigeria, south africa, egypt, ethiopia, algeria are the africa big 5.

Any africa coalition trying to conquer africa without any of this 5 included is doom to fail.

"Egypt , Nigeria and South Africa are generally regarded as the major regional powers in the African continent."

MysteriousAnn:
Firstly we need to hear the talk from both sides before we can judge. But the man may not be well equipped under there, that maybe why she resulted to becoming homo or Bi.

The wife must be confused. If you want to be a lesbian, be a lesbian, if you want to be a wife with children, be a wife with children. Which one is now becoming a lesbian that is a wife with children?

Ghana north are not sideline. ghana former president is a northerner. the current vice president is also a northerner. Some powerful position are assign to the northerner. Though there is still diffrence. But that gap is closing sincerly.

ghana is a christain dominated country but she has a huge presence of islam infact the diffrence is not up to 10percent according to wikipedia report. considering the high birth rate in zongo community that gap may closed soon. Another interesting things to be noted is the zongo community in greater accra,eastern ,region,central region are also backward in education and social development compare to accra mainstream. This is what me my self dont get. Most everything backwardness associated with the northerner？

am not even using the national index. i try to compare what will be consider in ghana as a southern part assumimg she is a federal state compare to what is on ground in nigeria. the gap still show ghana will likely outperform nigeria ... Take this word from me. Nigeria north is more developed than ghana north.

Greater accra is the most developed region in ghana. i dont have the statistics. poverty line may range from 10 percent to 5 percent.

NairobiWalker:
You can't measure HDI by choosing the most developed region of a country alone. How about we compare the HDI of Southern Nigeria with the HDI of selected Kenyan counties such as Kiambu and Nakuru?

Amberon:
Port Harcourt

Isahalbash:
Those guys from Kano r really brilliant. They r outshining d kd guys that tink they beta in western education, especially, frm d faculty of engineering.

Isahalbash:
This is what I hv bn saying since. Those people organising d stuff r dsame people calling us Yan bidi'a( people of innovation) and odas infidel/kufur as long as u r not part of Dem. They r d fanatics I having bn talking abt. When we celebrate maulud( d prophet birth) they say; we r doing our own version of Christmas. During maulud, u give out food and drinks to people, but during dere own type of bidi'a, they gv smal nd collect more



These people r hypocrites...they r doing it for dere selfish interest nt for d masses, but d gullible masses won't see that. You will Neva see Dem organising science or oda fields competition or building schools wit d monies they r looting rather deceiving Dem with Islamic bla bla even if it does not concerns Islam. They will kip building mosques to breed almajiris instead of schools to groom Dem for d future, besides it won't stops u from studying Arabic or Islamic studies. D funny part is dat; most of Dem don't even know what dey r reciting...na just cram cram notin else.


They r quick to criticize u wen u speak but will keep mute when almajiris r roaming every nooks nd crannies of d north without even helping Dem wit food and clothes while dere children schooled abroad wit empty head...they r just dere flexing not studying like Baba pikin( I no call name o!)



D only soln is to educate ur children on ur own, besides, r sum good public skuls. When d child has passion for education, he will excel anywhere. I Neva pay skul fees before apart from when I dey nursery 2,3 and pry 1&2. I attended a public school... I know am not too bad

Isahalbash:
I tink we hv buzus in Nigeria but I don't know wich state they are from. There are indigenous Zarma in Nigeria from kebbi state. d buzus r mostly from nijer nd Mali, they look slim wit very curly hair and dey r mostly black( d ones I see here though), but I tink those tuareg r light skin buzus( nt too sure). They have pretty ladies similar to d Somalis but not dat light. All d Zarmas I knw speak dere language very well no matter where de r born.



Yap, sometimes de bcum easily target but those dat mix r vulnerable to more attacks. Like during d 1998 crises in Lagos after d demise of MKO Abiola, those that r killed r mostly Nijerians living outside d Hausa dominated areas even d ife crises those dat r mostly killed r d ones outside sabo. If u luk at d pix, u wud see dat some r killed in dere shops, hawking, selling foodstuff in wheelbarrow. It is good to mix wit odas but when u hv bad neighbours' it's a suicidal.

Isahalbash:
I didn't come to Lagos, I was born here.



To be frank, it's impossible for now cos schools in d rural areas and some small urban areas have quack teachers with empty head. U will see students' from snr sec schools dat r supposed to be in pry 4 coz dey know notin. How can a blind man lead anoda blind man to d river? I know most people in my town are schooling especially d ladies, daz y d place node sweet cox girls scarce I swear


There was a day my nephew texted my elder bro, if u see d msg, u go plank d idiot head. I tink d boarding schools r beta dere( I can't attend sha), because of people from different background and d govt wud employed qualified tchas. Those dat attend private skuls r beta even here in Lagos maybe because of dere low population, but dere problem is " exam malpractice" during WAEC.


If qualified teachers can be employed, I tink those from d rural areas could Mk progress, hence, reduce illiteracy rates. Its obvious, people frm d rural areas constitute d highest number of illiterates in any society. Tank God d young people from my part of d State, have passion for western education.

Amberon:
Is there a city in the north other than abuja?

TayserMahiri:
Can restructuring really work? How do you see it working?

TayserMahiri:
You use hit men! The state is not involved in any way

TayserMahiri:
So you simply took two distinct regions and divided them further later on? That was bad calculations

vaxx:
i will not be able to talk on kenya . But i will with ghana . Let do the analyse southern nigeria will consist of both 6 yoruba state , 5 igbo land 5 niger delta including akwa ibom and cross river while greater accra ,central region ,ashanti region and brongh ahafo region will be consider southern assuming ghana run a federal system. This region will still out perform nigeria southern state becuse it host most of ghana development. Why nigeria major development spread across the south ,north central and middle belt. Ghana too has a northern part ,upper east ,and upper west which i will say contribute to her lower ranking in HDI. This regions suffer major set back. There is community crisis ,riot and a national domestic violence where widows are camp as a witch in （Gambaga）.infact nigeria north is far develop than ghana north.

Hbuyosh:
We understand that. Nigeria over the years has been bedevilled by problems that have hampered its development prospects.

Religious tensions are so uncommon here. But Kenyans are not that very united though, I kid u not. We know that tribalism is rife in Nigeria, but in Kenya it is toxic, u can imagine to the extent of causing a fotum site like this one having to shut down cos the very divisive messages posted therein.
If there was a way to metricize national cohesion, Kenya would surely featuer at the very bottom of the table.

In Kenya, as it is the case in Nigeria the southern part of the country is better progressed than the Nothern regions, was it to be excised from the rest of Kenya.....well, they dragging us down in the every development rankings. But is it not their fault entirely. Our previous govts marginalized them for sone reasons. However, with the new constitutional dispensation guaranteeing development to the grassroots, things are opening up in those regions.

TayserMahiri:
If only you knew the pains we have gone to to keep radical Islam in check!! We've had to kill a few of those terrible Sheikhs for the better good. Its not like we had it on a silver platter! Having roughly the entire eastern half of kenya being Muslim and neigbouring Somalia is no joke.

freshest4live:
Yeah l was about making this point all the time but kicked against it cos they would never understand. While we know about jos and kano(dangote's birth place), l do not know how progressive the rest of the north is. Sharia law there might be a problem and they multiply our population at a faster rate.

TayserMahiri:
Am lost!

TayserMahiri:
I thought there was a time you guys were doing well? And it was still one big Nigeria

vaxx:
not at all. You blame colonialism for nigeria underdevelopment. I said it is wrong to do so. Well south korea is a good example. You need to read about her ordeal in the hands of japan. It is far worst comparing with nigeria during the day of colonialism.Therefore it is a good example.

as i said earlier ghana too needs to be blame. but she perform better in citizens welfare comparing to nigeria currently. i belive it shouild be the opposite. why？ nigeria has a larger population which she can use for her own advantage. ,she possess a larger quantity of natural resources, Enough phd holder than any african state , A ballon of respected scholars more than any african state and so many positive example. Second largest bitumen deposit in the world behind canada.

yes some countries are performing better than ghana not only in europe. even in asia. singapore is a good example. singapore does not even own enough land talkless of arable land for agriculture yet she is able to grow enough food for her consumption and even for export.

both Ghana and nigeria are not doing well using the advantage of what they have at their disposal .i belive nigeria by now should be compare to advance world in terms of development not ghana or kenya becuse she has more resources to be in that position than kenya and ghana in combine. Ghana too should have go far not her present position.

you cant neglect the role of natural resources likewise education. sound education begat
good idea. UAE is one of the weathy nation today becuse of natural resources. saudi arabia ,kuwait and qatar alike. good education buttress natural resources. nigeria is bless abundantly with the two. So what else do you need？ is the education not sound enough to pull the nation out of underdevelopment with her abundant natural resources. UAE has oil and nothing more. What was use in developing dubai today comes from oil. What is stoping nigeria. The same question to ghana. What is stoping her from development with her abundant land and fertile soil.

Hbuyosh:
This is about Kenya vs Nigeria.....2015, we were ranked in the Medium table, u were ranked at the Low table.

http://hdr.undp.org/en/composite/HDI

And in that "Low" list are several small countries of Africa. Your notion that smaller countries are easier to develop ia challenged right there.

Nigeria is mucj wealthier, but what is the problem? You think your population sizs is the problem? Look at India!

Nowenuse:
Kenyans and Indians are more united religiously than Nigeria having an overwhelming Hindu/christian majority. Both countries only have ethnic issues to battle with.

Do you know how many lives have been lost in Nigeria due to religious clashes? People play evil politics of religion in Nigeria at the detriment of the welfare of their people just because they want their religion to dominate the country.

At least 30% of Nigerians are muslim fanatics and most of them are illiterates.
What progress do you really expect from such people??

Why won't our HDI be lower when a part of the country always drag it down?

Hbuyosh:
Very good observation. However, tht shld more be said about Nigeria and not Kenya.
You u have correctly pointed out that your Gdp per capita is higher than both of India and Kenya (fyi, the per capita of India and Kenya are almost equal), yet they both have higher HDI than Nigeria and lower poverty index as well.

Kenya is 80 arid, with well over 80% of the polulation concentrated in, and depending on the smaller 20% portion which is fertile. Kenya, until the oil was discovered recently, had no mineral resources, mining contributed below 1% to its economy.
Contrast that with Nigeria......what exactly is Nigerias's excuse?
