The real truth is Ghana is better than nigeria for now. And nigerians business men are aware.they are coming in their millions to tap from the full potential.over 5million nigeria are currently in ghana making the most popular destination for nigerians.

Nigeria is a rich country yet poor in human development. due to poor goverment policy and mismanagement. Ghana is an average country but rich in human index development. due to rich goverment policy and proper management.

This is the dumbest comment i have seen this year.

Can Ghana match one geo-political zone of Nigeria in terms of individual human achievements?

TayserMahiri:
Is this not letting an individual customize the nation? I cannot fathom this

Is that your head ache?
He is Nigerian and that's all matters.

vaxx:
even ghana experience terrible hunger in in the late 60.70.80.and 90 but they were able to come out of it. Nigeria as a country has not face 1over 4 of the hardship ghana encounter before.

Did Ghana fight a civil war in which millions of lives were lost?
Was Ghana ruled by military dictators for decades?

iamord:
Are you here to learn or to keep finding words from my mouth to argue about? You know you confirm my point earlier that a lot of nigerians are ethnocentric and chauvinistic, if you are really interested in knowing the positive sides the web articles you munched from provided the info i stated and much more, if you read it you won't come up telling me this. and what does the size of a city have to do with the revenue being generated in a city..?? is it not the activities in the city that brings revenue. smh.

Ok, pls, what is the GDP of these cities?? Tell us

Jay254:
Hahaha most of this guys have been blinded by their politicians...

I read somewhere that the oil mined in Nigeria since 1956 is equal to Brazillian Economy .

At times I believe Nigerian Figures are cooked to hide the reality.. you find a city like PH with same GDP as Durban S.A.

Only blind ppl can believe that

Yes, our cities lag behind in infrastructures due to the decades we wasted under military rule.
And besides, it's quite mad to compare with South African cities that have been built hundreds of years ago.

Jay254:
Nigerian Cities look slumish, if it were in Kenya they would be consdered slums.

Yes, the lowest income areas of Nigerian cities look slumish, but yet they are still not slums!

These pics below are pics of Festac town (outside Lagos city), but in Lagos state.
See what the average and lowest areas there look like.
I have dared Kenyans here to show me what the average, low and lowest income areas of Nairobi look like (aside the slums), but none of you guys can!

It's not about posting beautiful pics of hotels and resorts in Nairobi and Mombasa which majority of the residents cannot afford and continue to languish in slums.

Jay254:
The only thing I know of is Jumia.. please don't mention Eco Bank,it's very small here.

Atleast we export milk powder to you guys.

U forgot that Dangote cement importation to your country from Ethiopia is causing serious comotion and frustration among your local marketers ba?

What about Nigerian churches in Kenya that your people worship and their tithes and offerings are directed to Nigerian headquarters?

Nigerian Verve has entered into partnership with your banks and is about to shake your banking sector.

Hbuyosh:
"wealth is like poverty"......what do u evn mean by that?

Anyway....

Something doesnt click right in that BD report, ostensibly culled from the WB.


ONE. I cant find the original report from the WB website.

TWO. How comes that, according to this report in the WB, the Kenyan national GDP per capita is stated to be 695$, yet in the WB report, 2015 the Kenyan per capita income is estimated at 1700$? Kenya's GDP clocked $69bn year ending 2014 according to the WB report. (The latest report states the GDP at 75$, fyi). With the national population of say 46mn, as of 2015 there is no way that the per capita GDP cld be only 695$, simple rithmetic. 69bn$/46mln= 1500$.

In any case, Kenya is currently ranked as a midle income country.....u know the WB criteria for ranking countries economic statuses.

THREE. Well, if Nairobi contributes just 12% to the national GDP, not 40 or 60% as hitherto claimed by some estimates, then (69bn$*12/100)= $8.2bn total Nairobi GDP.
Nairobi population is 3.5mn. Now $8,2bn/3.5mn should be equal to around $2400. How did sumbody arrive at that $1065 Nairobi GDP PC figure in the BD report?

Sumbody must have had meth for breakfast before compiling this report.

Are you Kenyans not tired of telling lies?

What is the population of Nairobi metropolitan area? Not Nairobi city alone.
Lagos metropolitan area (Lagos state) has about 21 million people, Lagos city which is part of Lagos state has about 15 million people.
Yes, Nairobi city may have 3.5 million people. what about Nairobi metropolitan area??

In 2009 (8 years ago), Nairobi metro was estimated to have about 6.5 million people. Now, it must have grown to 8-10 million people pls.

You guys should provide an official estimate to show the GDP of Nairobi metro and let us divide it by 8-10 million people!

Jay254:
Its clear Nigeria Cannot compete with Kenya when it comes to Resorts and Hotels... Apart from Music what can we admire or borrow from Nija?

Economic dominance.
Can you show me any Kenyan business that is affecting Nigeria? I can list many Nigerian business and creations that are affecting Kenya.

Jay254:
So all the infrastructure we have or we are building are for tourism?

If you do not know Kenya has higher HDI than Nigeria.
We have higher literacy rate than Nija.
Nairobi host HQ of more Multinationals than Lagos

Canada has a higher literacy rate and HDI than USA, but it still doesn't make Canada better than USA, does it?

Highly populated countries usually have issues with human indexes.

Jay254:
Nigeria is still one on the most un equal countries in the world in terms of wealth distribution.

Being the biggest port in East and Central Africa Mombasa mombasa has so many industries for both local and export oriented.

Lastly Kenyans are not as extravagant as Nigerians hence the shock when they landed.
Note that JKIA might be the biggest Airport in E.A but the busiest in E.A and Central Africa is Wilson Airport with over 600 take offs per day, it is mostly used by private jets.

Yes, but Nigeria can never be as unequal as Kenya with wealthy people living in the beautiful CBD side by side with residents of Africa's largest and most terrible slums.

9jakool:
agree
I think it's also as a result of the religious diversity in the middlebelt.

Yes, most middlebelt muslims are from interreligious families and communities, so they cannot afford the luxuries of religious extremism, unlike Hausa-fulanis who are more secluded and do not share families, communities and even states with christians and traditionalists as such.

Jay254:
I have said here athousand Times no one believes Nigerian figures,

Look at this way
PH has almost 2m ppl while mombasa has 1.2m
Both have 1000 dolla Milionairs dispite the population
Mombasa has way bigger port than PH
Mombasa has way better City, more Highrise than PH
Mombasa is way more multicultured more industrialised than Ph

Nairobi on the other hand has a population of 3.5m while Lagos has over 10m
Nairobi has 6200 dolla millionairs while lagos has 9100 take note of the population and the difference.

Nigerian Central Govt had same Budget as Kenyan Central govt at 22b dollas.

So I do not trust those Nigerian crap

How the Bleep do you conclude that Mombasa has more industries than PH? Do you know that PH is the oil capital of Nigeria?
Or is it because we did not show you the dozens of industries in PH? PH's worth is estimated at nothing less than $20b. Where do you think that comes from?

Kenyan cities may have more millionaires on average, no doubt, it shows that wealth is not evenly spread in Kenyan cities unlike Nigeria that's why Kenya has more slum populations than Nigeria who contribute nothing and make Kenyan cities appear very poor on income per capital levels (poorer than the national average).

Isahalbash:
Am not referring to settlers but those frm dere states, cos I have seen many of them nd even knw some who de took from Lag to Zaria, besides, they don't even understand Hausa.

We have many Igalas, Ebiras and Kwara Yoruba Muslim fanatics. D Nupes are somehow liberal, because most of dem are from d Tijjaniyya Muslims.

Not all Muslims from d core- North r fanatics, but a portion of dem( from a particular group).

Okay, i know all this, but the buttom line is that core-northern muslims are more fanatic than the middlebelt muslims on average and there is no point of debate about it.
The higher illiteracy and seclusion of the core-north is part of the disadvantage of the core-north.

iamord:
well i will forgive your statement as it shows that you are less informed about the economy of the city

tema plays host to Ghana biggest city port,currently the second busiest port in the region second to lagos, and current expansions to become the biggest and modernised in sub saharan africa, and was built exclusively for port and logistic services, the first master planned city in west africa which served as a success model for the likes of abuja. it serves as one of the biggest industrial hubs in africa, Abuja is not an industrial hub.. its the seat of the nation with mixed use development and light industry, this is a heavy duty city with industrial products including aluminium, steel, processed fish, refined petroleum, textile, chemicals, food products, and cement. and the icing on the topping- tema is dubbed the centre of the world! let that sink in. In a informed and well opinionated circle, you saying accra has no economic vibrance will result into a burst of laughter, and will make you look stupid, accra is considered as a hub in west africa.. the gateway to west africa! the country's economic and administrative hub, Accra is a centre for manufacturing, marketing, finance, insurance, and transportation the city hosts the 4 biggest stock exchange in africa, record breaking modern structures.. an airtropolis , something that has being in the books of nigerian aviation authority but failed to actualize, a vibrant night life and presents west africa first educational hub.. with universities raking over a billion dollars from nigeria students a lone, this is a city considered to house the fastest growing number of millionaires in africa! the forefront of medical tourism in west africa, set to become sub saharan offshore financial capital. West African ict hub with one of the tallest building in Africa. joining the host of konza tech city Kenya and silicon valley. to bring the age of ict development closer to Africans .. make no mistake

Why then are these bogus paintings of yours not reflecting in the GDP or GDP per capital of Accra and Tema?
Accra and Tema are also very very small in size compared to Abuja municipality, even with all the economic and industrial activities?

Hbuyosh:
U said Nairobi has a lower per capita income than the the national avrg.....now it is Mombasa......where do u get this rubbish frm? So which city in Kenya has the highest per capita income than these two major economic hubs?

Nairobi and Mombasa arr the biggest contributers to the National GDP, even the IMF states that. Nairobi alone contributes aroind 40% of the national GDP, it has the biggest GDP than any other city......not just in Kenya, but all over East Africa. Mombasa is a major industrial, commercial and a port city with a thriving tourist and real estate industry in Kenya.

It's not by echoing it on your black lips. Bring proofs.

http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/news/Nairobi-ranked-8th-on-World-Bank-list-of-rich--poor-counties--/539546-2951310-uotkygz/index.html

I wasn't the one who published this. It was the world bank.
Nairobi and Mombasa may have wealth, but the wealth is like poverty considering the number of people who live there.

Nothing in this link butresses your claim of Ghana's $2b from tourism!

I warned you, but if that's what you're into, then suit yourself.

LoL. This is the most hillarious post i've seen.
Africans are really comic characters

fanficgirl:
Osinbjo is ten times more qualified than that dishonest idiot . I don't think its ironic, everything he said during his campaign was lies, from his net wealth to promises. How can you care for his health? I hope he's dead before he ruins Nigeria again.

Buhari is the handwork of your Edo, Yoruba abd Hausa-fulani peeps.
You people brought him upon us. I hope you guys are proud of yourselves

fanficgirl:
Wait isn't Tanzania's population about the same as Kenya, and Ethiopia has the biggest? Tanzania loks like its trying from the pictures

Exactly what i thought too.

LOL

Nowenuse:
Hahaha, the Kenyans have gone mute.
They think PH is like Mombasa with only 1 govt health care centre for 2 million people.
They probably never thought that PH will have dozens of primary health care centres apart from the state secondary health care centre.

Apart from the many private health centres in the city, you also have the health centres for Nigerian navy, Nigerian petroleum corporation, Nigerian airforce e.t c and also health centres for all the oil multi-national companies there. And all these health centres for workers (both Nigerian and oil multinational parastatals) operate on full health insurance for their workers and their families.

Ooops! I also forgot to add the University of Port Harcourt teaching hospital and the Rivers state university teaching hospital.

TayserMahiri:
I haven't seen anyone bragging. Only a fool would do so in Africa. However, Buhari is still in London as I learnt which tells you the state of your health sector.

Yes our health sector is not of world class and the terribly ailing president deserves the best treatment he can get. So, he has to go for the world-class. Yes, it is embarrasing, but Kenya is not any better.
Or is the Kenyan health sector world class?

forgiveness:
The first two pictures are public health care while the other is private.

Port Harcourt public health care

TayserMahiri:
So how developed is Nigeria's medical tourism sector?

Are you guys not the ones bragging of world class medical centres in Kenya and how Nigerian medical centres are useless ??
So, you guys are the ones to answer the question !

TayserMahiri:
Networth of the medical sector? Oga, what are you saying? Please provide us with the networth of your medical sector first and stop bogging us down with nonsense.

gallivant:


Is there a measure for that?

Yes, it is called the medical tourism sector.
It shows how advanced the medical sector of a country is, by how much foreigners come for medical treatments to the country.

popizaino:
says you .I don't need to proof to you that your pictures aren't port - Harcourt because it's no use when I told you reality on ground.
let ask this question if those of your pictures were truly that of port -Harcourt as you claimed how come it didn't beat ibadan and abuja in the cities with most number of high rise building in the country.

do yourself a favour and zoom the pictures closely and tell yourself the truth especially the first picture.

Jay254:
On the first picture I can see a suspension bridge.. where is that in PH

You guys are so impossible!
Who made the ranking of the Naija cities with more highrise buildings?
The same waterfront in all pics.
How different do these pictures look from each other for one to say that this is not PH?

Jay254:
The figures does not matter, it employs almost amillion families direct and indirect, to me that is what matters.

And by the way kenyans are among the biggest customers to this resorts. They are not for outsiders only.

I wonder how difficult it is for one of the most powerful sectors of a country to have a net worth.

gallivant:
Advertised by whom? If you have nothing say save it and avoid exposing your low intelligence.

Did those Kenyan luxury resorts photograph themselves?

Jay254:
Hahaha We alway come to this when you have nothing to say.

And none of you have been able to disprove it! So it remains true. There is nothing wrong in rebroadcasting the truth, is there?

gallivant:
Nigerian government healthcare is next to non existent, that's the bottom line. Your point above is inconsequential. Stop rambling over useless points again after again..

And the Kenyan govt has world class medical and health care facilities! Clap for yourselves.
Show us the networth of Kenyan medical sector and blow our minds can you?

popizaino:
no.I have so many born and bred port Harcourt friends telling those places are not port -Harcourt. when you c typical nigerian city you know one

Your friends definitely lived at the outskirt underdeveloped suburbs of PH city.

If you have no facts to disprove those pictures as PH city, then take a bow.
