Islamic sects r not a core- northern stuff, but a general Muslims tin. D fatanics up north hv dsame affiliation wit dere brothers in d MD nd d southern part of d con3.

D 2016 Zaria massacre was an example of such: Military did d killings, but does who celebrated it are nt only d northern fanatics, but d SW fanatics as well.

Fighting doesn't necessarily means carrying arms only. You can also fight nd support a cause with ur mouth or by writing. Check most of does justifying d Shiites killing on NL to understand beta. Besides, was d Nyanya, bomb blasts mastermind not an " Idoma" from d MD( Benue)?.

Does fanatics irrespective, of wich region u r frm don't consider u r complete muslim unless u r part of Dem.

I'm from d core-north( Jigawa precisely), but a friend of mine said; " musuluncin ka dama- dama tunda kafi Yan shi'a( meaning: Your Islam is manageable,because its beta Dan dos of d shi'ite')."

These Nigerians dont want to face the facts that Nairobi is morr developed than their Lagos. Nowenuse, perhaps we should start inundating this p
thread with the Nairobi suburbs here. We should start comparing the suburbs in Lagos and Nairobi here.

I can say this quite straight facedly that, in the ssAfrica, only the South African cities trounce the Kenyan cities in terms of the quality of the residential areas.

NairobiWalker:
I'll give you Google images of Nairobi v Google images of Lagos to shut your mouth on this 60% slum stupidity.

Kenya's urban population is 35% not 25%. No much difference from your own 40%.

Go back a few pages and see sources tabled by Hbuyosh on sizes of African middle class. Maybe that will wake you up from your slumber of bliss.

Hbuyosh:
Are the Nairobi slums bigger concern than the slums of Lagos, before I respond to your other questions?

No Port Harcourt is a very beautiful and nice city which has been confirmed by all, little wonder it's called 'The Garden city', don't mind all these useless comparisons, those estates are damn beautiful, most of them who make these comparisons and arguments have been blindfolded by the bad things they hear, so they don't believe anything of such exists in Nigeria, little wonder most of them are wowed when they visit. If only we had constant electricity like these small countries, the level of development would be unimaginable!

I was just laughing when some of them said the pictures of Port Harcourt posted was false, why? because they never thought such level of development existed because of the stereotype...

NairobiWalker:
Kenya has a larger middle class by percentage than Nigeria. So what's your point?

Nigeria's youth participation in politics is so disgraceful!

The chairman of Kenya's ruling party, Sakaja Johnson is 32 years old and the leader is South Africa's main opposition party, Mmusi Maimane is 36 years old!

Hbuyosh:
These counties are quite autonomous than the provinces before them.

Rather than the heads of the counties being political appointees, as was the case in the old constitution, it is the people that get to determine who to be the heads (governers) of these counties thru elections.

Rather than the national govt in Nairobi determining for the counties what development project to undertake in these counties as they used to with the provinces, since the national govt then controlled all the funds and the resources, now these counties can determine for themselves what development projects to undertake.

It is the county govts that serve as the stewards of all the resources available within the county rather than the national govt.
They also get to collect taxes. They can enact laws thru their parliaments.
They are incharge of the certain public services such as education and health and public works, (not security, however for that is solely the role of the state govt).
That means they even have appointed ministers, vetted by the county parliament prior to their taking up the roles.

The national govt is not required to meddle in the affairs of these counties unless it is a really a major issue, such as a run away insecurity or a malfunction within the county adminiatration rendering it ineffective as a govt.

By and large, they are quite autonomous, to the extent I have thot they should appropriately have been called "states" instead of counties, for they operate really as miniature countries within a country.
But then again, what is in a name? Would it cease to be a rose were it called a thistle? As long as they serve their envisaged purpose, that of devolving power and developement at the grassrots level' the name does not really matter.

i dont understand how some people dey reason . nigeria is selling gas . ghana is buying it. and even hold on pay base on business agreement. Ghana is developing its gas pipeline. And that will soon affect nigeria. Ghana is the highest buyer of nigeria gas and that is contributing a lot to nigeria gdp. I think ghana deserve an appreciation here. Mr lekki . Is that the latest. Do you know what is currently going on in accra now. Goverment just recived 250million canadia n dollar to embark on youth empowerment. Create job for the youth and i think that is better than lekki development.

vaxx:
i initially enjoy the conversation but it seems you are changing the wheel.

the hardship ghana face during the late 60.70.80 has never been experience in nigeria before even up tiil date. this was when ghanian were flocking into nigeria in search of greener pasture. so nigeria recession or current calamity should not be used as excuse.

ghana is an average country not a rich country like nigeria .yet it has an intention of world class development. this is the dream of singapore when it started. ghana policy is too strong and effective to be taken out easily. if the policy still continue and nigeria poor policy continue. Am sorry to tell you. Ghana may soon become the next dubai of west africa.

now to the education. i quite agree with you. that some of the nigeria student in ghana are those who could not face the rigorous nigeria selection system. if i may ask what is the importance in making education difficult？ no advance country do that.but your assumption is not absolute. many nigerians are here in seach of quality education too. There are good private university in ghana too. Ashesi uni is one ,central uni is another. This university also aim to become the best citadel of learning. Also note in mind that the process of selection may be easy that does not mean the tuttion is not up to standard.

becuse by then lagos will be more than south africa in population. lagos over population will soon result into big problem for nigeria as a country.

Look my dear, you need to be updated, lagos is on steroids, she is an unstoppable moving train,


Lagos is the 5th largest economy in Africa is not by chance


The lekki free trade zone is the largest growing economic corridor on the continent, there is massive construction going on,
Danone refinery, fertilizer plant, petrochemical plant gas pipeline facility, all the largest on the continent, with 3 largest world drudgery dredging 60"% of the reclaimed land off the Atlantic Ocean, Estates springing up every second, new airport, new seaport, demolitions ongoing for fourth mainland bridge, industrial clusters springing up




Research on Orange Island development, eko Atlantic development, Ilubirin lagos Island development, banana Island, lagos medical Park, Oshodi transport interchange,




Go to estate Intel.com and realise that lagos accounts for a huge chunk of real estate in the West African region



Research on ladol, nigerdock, ikeja urban regeneration development, badagry seaport, blue line, red line,



Apapa urban renewal, Victoria Island water front masterplan, ikoyi foreshore



Etc,





On the continent, lagos is the destination for the future of Africa,

Let us look at this this way
Port Harcourt has better and complete transportation system and amenities than Mombasa e.g better airport, Mono rail, Inter - city rail, sea Port, bridges and good road network.
Port Harcourt has better public health amenities than Mombasa.
Port Harcourt has better city and more highrise than Mombasa. The last two pages showed 25 highrise already top up with others already on ground. Pls, take note that highrise is defined as structure with 12 and about floors.
Port Harcourt has better vibrant Estates than Mombasa.
Port Harcourt has better Sport amenities than Mombasa
Port Harcourt has more refineries than Mombasa

Port Harcourt has better public schools than Mombasa


I don't know much about the numbers of industries in Mombasa but I can tell you Port Harcourt has many industries. Check this and give me the link to industries in Mombasa.

I will provide pictures of gigantic manufacturing companies latter.

My guy, we do acknowledge our problems. We know that our country is far from perfect, the reason we push our govt hard to solve these challenges, and the pressure on the govt to act has all the more intensified since the the advent of the true democracy and freedom of speech in the country.
We throw the shades at u, not out of spite , but because we feel u are too haughty and very disrepectful towards the other countries in Africa.

Now, the last census was conducted in 2009, (every year ending with a 9 is a census year in Kenya, since 1969).....and it established that Kenya had a total population of about 38.5mln.
Back then, Kenya was divided into 8 administrative units called provinces, and they were widely deemed as inefficient in as far as effective governance and equal shareout of the national cake was concerned. A new constitution was passed thru a plebiscite that recommended among other things, the total overhaul of the Kenyan administrative units- eliminating the 8 provinces and the hundred of districts, replacing them instaed with the 47 counties.

They new constitution carried the day, and it was ultimately promulgated in 2013. As u can see, this is a very recent system of governance in Kenya.

Now, regardimg your question on the counties population estimates...this Wikipedia info was sourced from the Kenya Bureau of Standards statistics.....

1999 - 2007 Yoruba man ruled (southerner)

2007-2010 Hausa man ruled (northerner)

2010- 2015 southerner again

2015 - 2017 northern again.

So it's not exactly true when you hear North are the once always ruling. What the refer to was the military regime which will never come again.

The advantage they have is population and their influence on North Central which they are losing gradually.
