Music has helped some Nigerian musicians escape poverty and since Nigerians are in charge of their music industry this can only help with jobs and employmenf

Nigerian music has produced dozens of millionaires. The industry has employed thousands of people and is employing more.

Jay254:
Why don't we look at it in this way... 2017 Kenyas Gdp is 75 billion...
Nairobi controls almost 40% of that which gives you 30b
On a higher side give nairobi a population of 4m ppl

When you divide the two percapita is 7500..on Alower side.

Stop saying rubbish and embarrassing yourself.
How can Nairobi metropolitan area be 4m ppl? In 2009 (8 years ago) it was estimated to be 6.5m ppl, now it must have grown to 8-10million people......

Can you also give proofs to show that Nairobi controls 40% of Kenya's wealth?

As big and powerful as Lagos state is, it only controls abt 20% of Nigeria's wealth.

mtis:
1 . Nakumatt is owned by both africans (e.g Mwau)and Indians both Kenyans
2. Jumia is not the only online market in kenya .we have others like kilimall
3. we care less about your music..probably house maids do that
4.About the church thing it does not add a fvkg dime in Kenyan economy ..so we care less
and lastly music is not going to upgrade your freaking situation you have in your country it only consoles

Why do you Kenyans like embarrassing yourselves by telling obvious lies?

See your entertainers protesting against Naija music domination of your radios and you are saying only house maids care?

http://pulse.ng/buzz/kenya-musicians-protest-domination-of-nigerian-music-on-radio-id4058330.html

Jumia is dominating kenya's online market and what is kilimalli and how much are they worth?
Nigeria's Konga will soon penetrate Kenya too.
We taught you guys online marketting

Everyone knows that Nakumatt belongs to Indian Atul Shah and family, who the hell is Mawu?

The question was for me to list Nigerian inventions affecting Kenya, as there is no single Kenyan or East African invention affecting the life of the everyday Nigerian or West African.
Nigerian churches are Nigerian inventions and many Kenyans take their spiritual order directly from Lagos.

Jay254:
Kenya I believe we are giving too much attention to alunatic..

Since when did dangote control the cement industry in the country

The last I checked Jumia originated from France..

Since when did kenyans go to Nigeria for divine interventions

I think we have said a thousand times that kenyan Indians are as much kenyans as Kikuyus.

This guy is psycho.... his mind is already made up you cannot convince him any thing.

I warned you but you wouldn't listen.

Watch the confession and deliverance of a kenyan woman in a Nigerian church below, this is just few among the numerous cases in different Nigerian churches.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2sFiQHjMns

Here is Dangote and the commotion and frustration he is causing to his competitors in the East African cement market. It's obvious you don't know what is happening in your country. Can't u see that other Kenyans did not bother to argue?

Go and read about Jumia very well. Tunde kehinde and Raphael Afedor are the co-CEOs of Jumia and they were the ones who brought it to Lagos Africa and spread it around Africa, they bought the shares from an older Berlin based rocket internet stores and established it in Africa with the name Jumia.

arinzeejikonye:
KD

Kaduna and Kano are very beautiful and wealthy northern cities. There are not just enough pics of these places online or available if not many here would be wowed.

Kaduna infrastructures can challenge PH and if not for religious crisis that has affected the city, it would have been the 3rd/4th richest Nigerian city After Lagos, PH and maybe Kano.
Kaduna even has better infrastructures than Kano.

Jos, Zaria and Maiduguri come next in the rank of Northern cities. They are quite beautiful too.

DonnieTheGreat:
Baba, don't be so mean on her. Ask yourself what could a South African woman be possibly looking for on a Male dominated Nigerian Forum? ========================> HUSBAND<=======================================================

She is hunting for a Nigerian Husband, she will deny it oh, but if you look at her posts you'll discover she's most Active in the Romance section. Most of these Africans spewing hate at Nigerians would jump at a Nigerian citizenship in a heartbeat.

So take it easy with them.

Hahaha, very true, just like this Kenyan girlfriend of Sean Tizzle that has rejected Kenyan identity and is now claiming Naija.

mtis:
population of nairobi 2017 is 3.5 million .please sonny be smart and use your bundles wisely when googling. oh an i have 20mbps at home an that the lowest around

I am talking about Nairobi metropolitan/urban area.

Lagos metropolitan area has an estimated 21 million people, but Lagos city proper has far less than this.

Nowenuse:
That is why it is called a slum. The patterns do not follow normal housing classifications.
Ok, u have showed us Kibera, there are many dozen others. Show us the others or should we help you?

You can imagine a capital city (Nairobi) attracting millions of NGOs and foreign aids to it's slums and some fools expect us to believe that only 500k live in Nairobi slums? (the most numerous and largest in Africa)?
Pls, tell the story to the birds as i said.

Were u not the one i challenged to say the GDP per capital of Nairobi? Or do u want me to do it myself and embarass you guys?
Nairobi is 5 times smaller than Lagos, yet Lagos has only 1 slum (which is less than 1% of the population), while half of Nairobi's land mass and majority of it's population live in the dozens of slums in the small city.

You can imagine that Abuja municipality alone (built just yesterday is bigger than the entire Nairobi). What a shame!
Imagine that Kibera is classified as a slum of many slums. It is a convergence of many slums into one. Jesus!

Nairobi is nothing but an embarrasment!
Nairobi metropolitan area was about 6.5 million people since 2009, which means that by now, it should have grown to 8 million people or more.
PLS KENYANS SHOULD TELL US THE GDP OF THIS LARGE URBAN AREA OF almost 10 million people.

As for those fools telling us lies that Nairobi slum dwellers are less than 1 million people, they should come and explain to us why Nairobi's GDP per capital is so low (lower than the national average of Kenya) despite the city being Kenya's financial centre!

This has clearly shown to the world, the largeness of the poor slum dwelling population of Nairobi who obviously contribute nothing to the GDP of the city, thereby lowering the per capital income of the city (compared to the overall national per capital income).

It's now official that the slum dwellers of Nairobi outnumber the normal city dwellers. J-E-S-U-S!
What a disaster of a so called capital city!

Hbuyosh:
Can u prove that the kenyan retail market is controlled by Indians? And which are those west African inventions have had positive impact in East Africa.....mention just one.

Nakumatt is the richest and most influential retail market in Kenya and it is controlled by an Indian family.

Dangote's cement is dominating East African cement market and you are asking me to mention one?

Nigeria's Jumia is now the only and largest online market in Kenya and u are asking me thrash?

Do you think we don't know that Kenyan entertainers protested due to Nigerian music domination of the Kenyan music industry? Or you want me to post it here?
Khaligraph Jones even sang a song about this bitter trend in Kenya.

Do you know how many Kenyans are members of Nigerian churches? Not to talk of Kenyans who travel all the way to Nigeria just to see Nigerian pastors and get delivered?

These are just among few, dare me to prove any of this and i will embarass you here with more than you bargained for.

PissedYagami:

Maduawuchukwu:
Madam stop being foolish. Nowenuse is telling the gospel truth. I have observed it many times before myself. if you want to be neutral be neutral but don't go about licking people's butt so they can like you. It is not an attractive trait.

Don't mind fanficgirl. She is so intent on pleasing other Africans in the name of appearing neutral.

Shaytun:
Nigerianilization of kenya, i tell you my broda it has already begun.

"Nigerians are tough business people to compete against and are also very aggressive. East Africans, we are a little passive."

Figures from the Kenya Investment Authority (KIA) show that trade between the two coun- tries is low and fell from a peak of KSh3.2bn worth of exports from Kenya to Nigeria in 2008, to KSh2.9bn ($34.2m) in 2012.

The KIA says it has registered six Nigerian projects in Kenya, including three in the restaurant business and one in media.

"We are currently following up to facilitate a mining in- vestment proposal of $400m in addition to other investments," a KIA spokesperson says.

http://www.theafricareport.com/East-Horn-Africa/nigeria-kenya-courting-business-across-the-continent.html

Leave the fools alone.
Nigerians will soon take over Kenya's economy.

Nigeria's Jumia is now the largest online market in Kenya......ooops, i mean only and largest online market in Kenya, cos Kenyans never knew anything like online markets till we came there.

Kenyans boast about their malls controlled by Indians, while Nigerians have since advanced to the level of online markets where we get goods delivered to our door steps.

I have asked these foolish Kenyans times without number to show me how any Kenyan invention has affected the life of the average Nigerian or West African, but they were dumb!
All they could mention was Mpesa (which is failing in many countries and does not even have up to 1% membership of the west African market).

Dangote is now dominating the East African cement markets while the fools are busy typing here insulting us and making SEUN OSEWA (a Nigerian) richer!

PissedYagami:
Nairobi does not have 4 million slum dwellers mate. Thats about the total population. Actually I will give you the aerial footage of Kibera

Kibera alone has 3 million people, what about the other dozens?
Pls, tell that to the birds.

Okay, let's settle it this way.

What is the total GDP of Nairobi? Then we divide it by the 6 million people of Nairobi. If the GDP per capital is below or equal the national average, then it's obvious that half of Nairobi's population live in slums and poverty, but if it is far above the national average, (just like Lagos is far above Nigeria's average), then we know that the poor slum dwellers are not so numerous.

Are you up for this challenge??

forgiveness:
Good.


If Nigeria government is focusing only on Abuja or Lagos like Kenya government is doing to Nairobi, they for don turn New York.

Don't mind the foolish Kenyans.
Nigeria has dozens of cities that are all developing at the same time, while the Kenyan govt spends all their money in developing Nairobi and Mombasa alone and yet these cities still have the largest slums in Africa.

I can't imagine if the entire Nigeria has spent all our time building only Lagos and Abuja, by now, both cities would have been competing with Tokyo and New york.

PissedYagami:
UN aint anybody mate. Plus you have that problemo, fix it, vote in good leaders

And world bank is kidding too?
We have the problem yet we are still far richer than you slum dwellers.

I guess we should vote in the Kenyattas who are better leaders as they own half of Kenya.
They have turned Kenya to their family heritage. Uhuru Kenyatta's wife or girlfriend will be your next president.

PissedYagami:
Mombasa to Nairobi is complete. Now it Nairobi to Uganda. We have another line from Lamu to Turkana to South Sudan. Will connect to Ethiopia via Moyale. Currently on diesel but we will upgrade it in 4 years to, to an electric rail system. Current speed is 120kmph but after upgrade it will be 240kmph. Cool, right?

What abt Mathare, Mukuru kwa njenga, kiambu, korogocho and the gigantic and award winning kibera and the others?
Are they not getting any trains?

Dont tell me that the 4 million slum dwellers of nairobi do not matter!

TayserMahiri:
Thats why we are saying, the whole country is a slum. Thats so much better than saying 13.5 million nigerians people sheet in the open.

Oga, nor be for mouth!

Should we go on a pic challenge?

PissedYagami:
Hey I am not the one who wrote the report

Well, anyone can write any reports.

Dare me and let's go to pictoral proofs and let me show you the lowest income areas of Lagos state! And then you tell me what it looks like! If these places look like Kibera and Mathare without toilets.

Should we go on? If you have the liver.

PissedYagami:
to the latest poverty report by the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS, about 112 million Nigerians (representing 67.1 per cent)

Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/poverty-112m-nigerians-live-poverty-line/ Your government statistics mate. And stop citing Nairaland links. Plus here is another link by the United Nations
http://dailypost.ng/2016/09/05/nigeria-one-poorest-countries-world-80m-living-poverty-line-un-report/
A United Nations, UN, report on Nigeria’s Common Country Analysis, CCA, has described the country as one of the poorest and unequal country in the world, with over 80m of her population living below poverty line.
and if you are not that poor why do most Nigerians cant access a toilet?
A newly launched report on the 2016 State of the World Toilet by WaterAid Nigeria has revealed that 130million representing 71 percent of Nigerians lack access to safe, private toilet.

58 million people out of the number living in urban cities lack access to improved sanitation facilities and 13.5million urban dwellers defecate in the open, the report further noted.
https://www.businessdayonline.com/130mn-nigerians-still-lack-access-to-safe-private-toilet-wateraid/

Deal with it mate

Hahahaha
Is this all you can come up with? And with all these, Nigerian economy is still growing? We came out of recession even with the low oil prices.
Imagine what would happen in oil prices increase?

But we are no longer depending on that and are now working on industrialization and agricultural revolution.

I can see that you guys are desperate to look for people to share slum status with Kenya, but hell NO!
Naijans dont do slums, we live in houses, and what house does not have toilet facilities? Keep deluding yourself.

People who live in Kibera (Africa's largest slum) are talking about Nigerians (people who live in houses) defecating in the open.

Well, anything that makes you sleep better at night!

TayserMahiri:
We hate nigeria right back....!!!! .... ..

To hell with nigeria!!!!!....................

Then tell your people to stop coming to Nigerian churches for deliverance and Tell your women to stop sucking Naija diicks!

PissedYagami:
Stop believing everything you read on those blogs mate

Hahaha, did i read this in a blog?

See your Kenyan sister denying Kenyan identity and claiming 9ja, just because she has tasted a naija diick

U think Naija guys are your mates abi?

PissedYagami:
We are fixing our slums instead of trying to hide their existence, unlike you guys. A huge portion of your population is poor, where do they live?
No fewer than 112million Nigerians now live below poverty level as global poor hits one billion mark. According to the latest poverty report by the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS, about 112 million Nigerians (representing 67.1 per cent) of the country’s total population of 167million.

Slums are not something anyone can hide.
Why did we not hide Makoko?
Check out this music by Nigerian Tekno RARA, this song featured Makoko slum and that song is among the top hits in Naija right now. So, saying we hide slums is just a very foolish saying. We don't have them.

The WORLD BANK said only 33% of Nigerians live in poverty (since 2014) and you are here saying rubbish!

We can't rule out the possibility though if you can spend time typing on a Nigerian forum am sure you can spend time riding a Nigeria "". .

Hahahahahaha.
South African girls go insane and loose themselves at the sight of a naija guy!
Just like Kenyan girls too and most other African women.

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.za/ferial-haffajee/did-i-miss-the-announcement-about-south-africa-becoming-a-colony/

When, I wondered, did we become a province of The People's Republic of China? I know that's how China views The Republic of China (Taiwan). And I know the governing African National Congress and the most powerful communist party in the world are the biggest chinas*, but had I missed the annexation?


But what the advert tells us, with much smouldering indignation, is that China views South Africa as a colony

OMG! Why is Jacob Zuma bowing before that Chinese man? What a show of inferiority!
Why are these zulus humiliating us the blacks like this?

It's obvious that most black south africans still worship white skin just like Kenyans.

Your link is rubbish.

I can show you dozens of pics of kibera, mathare, mukuru, korogocho and the other dozens of slums in Nairobi.
Can u pls give us an aerial pic of any slum in Lagos (aside Makoko)? Hell no there is none.

Go and ask your fellow Kenyan TayserMahiri, we have been through this battle before, and when i proved to him here that there was no other slum in Lagos apart from Makoko, he was so ashamed of himself and could not come online for over a week. because he tried his best and probably googled his life away to prove the existence of slums in Lagos, but couldn't.

If you want that the same show of shame, dare me or forever keep shut.

Slum is not a Nigerian culture, we are proud people and won't do that shit.
Makoko only managed to survive because it wad originally a fishing village but before we knew it, immigrants from Benin republic flooded the place and made it what it was. About half of Makoko has already been demolished and very soo, all of it.

uzzyfire:
aunty we pay d Chinese to build and install d train becos that's wat they know how to do . wats d big deal

d point we are trying to make is that white people are building ur country and u guys are happy about it. even d richest person in ur country is white like WTF!!! .

Not just the richest person! The richest persons (plural), check the top 3, top 10 or even top 50 richest in SA, hatdly will you find blacks in the list.

PissedYagami:
Yet Lagos is called the megacity of slums. How ironic

Who gave Lagos that name? Kenyatta?

The megacity of slums is still the 5th largest economy in Africa and is richer than your entire country, what a shame!

Show me the slums in Lagos apart from Makoko, then anyone will take you serious, or keep shut!

PissedYagami:
Slums are everywhere mate. Even in India, Nigeria, Mexico etc. Every country has nice and bad places

Pls stop this joke. Nigeria has only one slum (Makoko), so slums are not everywhere pls.
Slums are Kenya's heritage.

Muafrika2:
This explains Buharis insistence that the people attacking Other Nigerian farmers are Foreigners

Yes, he is correct and wrong at the same time.
The fulanis are spread all over west and central africa even up to Southern parts of North-Africa, but they never fail to unite themselves for terrorist activities.

iblawi:
I want you guys to do a little research on Congo (not reports from major media outlets cause they are being controlled). I swear that country is not as bad as they make us believe.

You guys really need to see what the world see Nigeria as and you will wonder if it's the same Nigeria you stay.
When you hear of the Niger delta you will weep for Nigeria but the media will never tell you Niger delta have some of the most beautiful cities in Nigeria. Like Calabar, Uyo, Portharcourt, etc. The only thing you see is the villages affected by oil spill and the poor areas of the Niger delta. Same when you hear of North Eastern Borno state, the boko haram main home. You will only see the old villages but maiduguri is actually the biggest commercial city in the whole of that north east and even the neighboring countries heavily rely on that city for major activities. It shares border with 3 other countries and has never been under the control of boko haram.

You really have a point though.

Muafrika2:
Treat them as refugees. The burden should be born by the international community as a whole. It will also protect them from Homelessness's and lack of food. But its not humane to shut them out like Europeans are doing to Syrians.

Another problem we are having is that most Southern Nigerians think these Nigèriens are Core-northern Nigerians. The average Southerner can hardly differentiate them. I can easily differentiate them because my homeland is closer to the core north and i speak Hausa quite well, so i can tell by the dialectal differences and accents.
Even at that, there are sometimes i myself may fail to be able to differentiate them, because the northerly you go, the deeper the Hausa dialects become till you get to the boundary areas where both the Nigerians and Nigèriens speak the same dialects with same accents.

Now, Core- northerners have a thwarted mentality which they feel the more their numbers or population, the more they keep winning national elections and retaining power in Nigeria. And since they and these people have the same religion, cultures and languages, core-northern Nigerians don't mind adding these Nigèriens to their populations.

I hope you guys can now see the magnitude of troubles besetting Nigeria?

Muafrika2:

Niger republic is not officially a failed state and neither is it a war torn nation. So there is really no way refugee camps can be created for them in Nigeria.
I just don't understand that country, their poverty is as worse or even worse than war torn nations but they are politically stable.

Nigeriens were actually a victim of french colonialism, the stupid french colonialists created a large French west Africa and almost everything about the colonial govt was centred in far away Dakar (Senegal). This is why Senegalese, Ivorians and Guineens who were closer to Dakar were far more educated, progressive and westernized compared to Nigeriens, Malians, Togolese and Beninoise who were farther away from Dakar.
Now, colonial neglect coupled with this backward Islamic culture is no wonder they are the poorest politically stable nation in the world.

These are the more reasons why Africans need to come together and help each other. We are all victims of wrong colonial policies. Some of us greater victims and some lesser victims.
