Nigerians have succesfully developed the best, largest and richest fashion industry in Africa!
And guess what? It is purely African-styled fashion!

O0XYGEN:
You forgot to add this.Thats their lagos.
Such useless morons

Are you not ashamed to be posting pictures of Lagos in 1999? Pls, that was Lagos of the last millenium.

Google is your friend. Just google Lagos city and here is what you will get (current pictures)

Obi1kenobi:
To be fair, all those countries are better developed societies than the US. The average citizen of countries like Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Canada etc have higher standards of living than the US. Quality of life is what matters and not the size of a country. If anything Nigeria needs to be divided. I can't be bragging about Nigeria's size. Lugard amalgamating the North and South and creating this unworkable contraption in not something for us to be bragging about,

The point is that small countries have their advantage and big countries have their own advantage.

Small countries like Denmark, Norway, Sweden e.t.c may have the higher standard of life (so what)?
Many Americans may not know where these countries are on the map, but the people of these small countries know everything about America. They read about America day and night. They can't do without America's influence. They want to speak English like Americans and dress like American stars.
They cannot do without America's inventions like Google, skype, facebook, twitter e.t.c
Most of them dream of going to America to visit the financial, fashion and entertainment capitals of the world.

America has the number of millionaires and billionaires that control the world. They have the large markets. Omce you make it in America, you are already a world figure/superstar. How many more advantages can i count?

At the end of the day, big countries have more advantages.
Until you become part of a small irrelevant country, you may never know the advantages you have.

See what City centres in Nigeria's Benin and Calabar cities look like
(both cities are not even among Nigeria's top 5), yet they have better centres than Accra.

O0XYGEN:
No this is Accra

Just30:
everything that you lack in Lagos and Abuja put together

Accra is like the most useless capital city in West Africa, just take a look at what Accra city centre looks like.

This is totally unbefitting for the poorest Nigerian state capitals.

O0XYGEN:
No this is Accra

What a shame! Is this all you have for the capital of your country? Night pics of a bridge?
Show us an aerial photo of daytime Accra!

This is an aerial view of daytime PH (Nigeria's 4th largest city)

uzzyfire:
populated countries all have issues but they dominate their continent

Chikena

Port harcourt (Nigeria's 4th largest city).
Accra cannot even compare!

Just30:
guy you are dumb
You don't even know where ecowas came from.
Ghana made everything that makes ecowas meaningful

O0XYGEN:
So you are happy that about 60% of you idiots don't have electricity even though you call yourself an oil producing country?
Hahaha you are too stu.pid and dumb.

Charli, see your Accra here! What's so special?

O0XYGEN:
You are really stupid and dumb.

Why are you comparing many countries to USA?
Why didn't you compare only one country to the U.S on all the indices?

In this case Ghana beats nigeria in all the indices .
That's the difference
.slowpoke
You see how foolish you are?

Which country in the world can you compare to USA (the world super power)?
Which country can you compare to Nigeria (Africa's super power)?

O0XYGEN:
Literacy rate
- Nigeria 59.60%; Ghana 76.60%

Access to improved water
- Nigeria 68.50%; Ghana 88.70%

Acccess to electricity
- Nigeria 45%; Ghana 80%

Mobile penetration
- Nigeria 83.00%; Ghana 133%

HIV Prevalence rate
- Nigeria 3.17% Ghana 1.40%

Maternal mortality per 100,000 live births
- Nigeria 814; Ghana 319

Infant Mortality per 1000 live births
- Nigeria 71; Ghana 36

Life Expectancy at birth
- Nigeria 53.4 years; Ghana 66.6 years

HDI
- Nigeria 0.51; Ghana 0.58

GINI index
- Nigeria 43; Ghana 39

Visa free score (passport)
- Nigeria 44; Ghana 61

Ignorant dude, your country is doing fantastic abi? consider comparing your country to Cameroon, Niger, Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea, Chad and Central African Republic. Maybe you will fare better than them on some of the indices.

Foools are easily spotted here.

Norway has a higher literacy rate than USA.

Cuba has a higher life expentacy than USA.

Canada has a more efficient health care system than USA.

Qatar has a higher income per capital than USA

Sweden has a higher HDMI than USA.

USA has more poor people than Denmark.

Australia is far more peaceful and crime free than USA

Many countries of the world beat USA in different welfare indexes. But how come USA is still the world super power whom almost everyone looks up to? This is something your primitive mind cannot understand.

Lagos is the entertainment, Fashion, Banking and Financial capital of Africa.

Pls, where does Accra and Nairobi come in?

They are here insulting Nigerians on the largest African social network. While the owner (a Nigerian) is making millions (into the Nigerian economy) from their comments. Pls, who are the fools here?

uzzyfire:
Nigeria has a huge influwne on Africa both culturally , financially , economically ,politically and so on. evrytin Nigeria does grabs attention of Africa

Just30:
I don't need to do that cos, Ghana has been relevant in the African story for 200 plus years now and counting

Can you pls show me one aspect that Ghana dominates West Africa? I did not ask for the whole Africa, just west Africa. If you cannot, then what else can we say!

Another Naked Tribe found in Nigeria
By Stephen Osu

They live, literally, in the stone age. Poverty and diseases ravage their land, like locusts. A good number of them still dress in the manner of...the Biblical Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden -- stark naked -- with fresh leaves for a little covering.



You are welcome to the top of the Gerinjina mountain in Gashaka Local Government area of Taraba State.

It was like a story from Mars when a casual talk to the hearing of this reporter indicated that there was a community up the mountain that lived worse than those of the Koma people who were discovered in the mid-1980s by a group of National youth corps members in the then Gongola State, now split into Adamawa and Taraba states. While the Koma community resides in Adamawa State, the new Stone Age people are in Taraba State.

http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2009/03/another-naked-tribe-found-in-nigeria.html?m=1

If not that you are an ignorant foool, you will know that lost tribes are still discovered every year in South America.
Look below and see some of the tribes discovered in Brazil, Peru, Colombia e.t.c
Just as the rainforests of South America (Brazil e.t.c) are very vast and deep, so are the mountains of Adamawa/Taraba axis of Nigeria! These places were the last places colonial masters reached in Nigeria and they never reached the mountains. Those tribes live on the highest of the mountains.

I guess Ghana and Kenya are better than Brazil for uncivilized people to still be found in Brazil and Peru few years ago. Imbecilles!

kikuyu1

I hope you can see the resemblance in what our fore fathers wore (pre colonial times) and what we are wearing today?
It's just a modification of what we had.
You Kenyans cannot modify anything because you never had anything. It's such a shame that you guys wear western-styled clothes to your social gatherings (poor Africans).

kikuyu1:
Thank you,sir! I swear lies flow in the blood of Naijjans! Here are Igbos late 1800s

Does anyone see the imported fabrics they pretend to be traditional??

If not stupidity, why should one expect clothes of centuries ago to look exactly the same with the ones worn now? As time goes, we have to modify the clothes, but the original (ancestral) style/pattern remains!

I could not view your link, but one thing you must know is that the Igbos as well as most west African tribes enslaved each other and kept many slaves. As usual, you cannot expect the slaves to wear elaborate clothes and designs like their masters. Some of these slaves/slave communities were even kept naked by their masters and sold to the European buyers (where our African-American and Carribean brothers descended from).
So, yes, some of our people (slaves) did not wear clothes and you cannot use such pics to judge our Kings, emperors, royal families and free commoners.

Look at pictures of pre colonial and colonial Igbos (first picture) and other Nigerians.

Just30:
when was that calculated? 2013 ?2014? 2015? What is it, in 2017
Just ask the South Africans, they will tell you

You tell me, i don't know. I work with the IMF and World bank accepted statistics. Which are you working with? The one from your ass?

uzzyfire:
JESUS CHRIST!!! this guy is comparing Accra to Lagos . don't forget that Lagos GDP is higher than Ghanas own. don't forget that d financial affairs of Africa is run from Lagos , so y d hell will u compare accra that does not even have a GDP to Lagos . this is an insult that can make someone cry

Seriously, i don't blame them. I blame Nairaland for giving these kind of people the opportunity to compare with us. You can imagine the insults. Accra cannot even compare with Port harcourt, Kaduna, Aba, Ibadan or Kano cities.
Lagos state and Ghana have the same population yet Lagos economy is about 3 times that of the entire Ghana.

You guys should thank Nairaland for giving you a platform to compare Nigerians. Afterall the more you are here, the more (Seun Osewa) makes more cool cash into Nigerian economy.

Just30:
except if Nigerias Per capital income is 8000 dollars. And we all know it's not cos it's barely making 1500 dollars

Go and change our records from the IMF and world bank in Europe, where our per capital income (nominal) is almost $3,000 and yours has not been able to cross the $1,500 range.
Officially, the average Nigerian is richer than the average Ghanian. What else could be more than that?

Just30:
Abuja can't even be at pare with Accra, let alone Lagos that has 30% water supply.

Abuja is the fastest growing city in Africa and it is the only city in Africa (with millions of people) that was planned entirely from the scratch.

How can you compare your Accra where people have been building houses anywhere they like for decades with Abuja that was a complete virgin land 24 years ago and was built with a master plan entirely from the scratch? Are you nuts?
It's obvious that most of your comments do not deserve a reply, just see the way you are embarassing yourself here.

Jayceon:
like I said before...go and ask them yourself why they were attackrd because I DON'T GIVE A FÜCK "let us agree that nigerians are bad people" really guy That's not some rumor or a he said she said,it's a very well known fact.look at all the places that nigerians have invade and you will notice the following:

-loud obnoxious noise
-dirt on the streets
-urinating on the walls
-human trafficking
-drugs
-brothels
-dirty clothes hagging on the windows
-...

Nigerians are just...well Nigerians doing nigerian things that only nigerians can understand

You keep bragging about your entertainment but the world only recognizes SA as the true boss.we host the MAMAS,MTV LIP SYNCH BATTLE,BBN,THE VOICE NIGERIA,you shoot your tv ads in SA...you say I must recover the economy from whites?..tell Buhari to stop spending his lootings in Europe with his masters while nigerians live under 1$/day

You are an ignorant liar. Mama awards is rotated. It has been held in Nigeria.
Ok, tell me the total net worth of your whole entertainment industry since it is the best in Africa! How many millionaire artistes can your entertainment industry boast of?

uzzyfire:
who d hell is E.T mensah, lol d whole world knew fela . he was nominated for Grammy's several times, his music has been sampled by a lot of artist.

u cant even compare d mensah guy to King sunny Ade

I just taya for that sculpture of Charcoal called a Ghanian. Fela conquered the world with his music. Who the hell is Mensah? Why did Mensah not conquer the world with his music?

Muafrika2:
Am sure they are there. Doing a range of things, legal and illegal

Exactly, just as you find the lebanese, Chinese and Indians all over the world doing things legally and illegally.
Infact i never knew the heart of Nigerians until i watched a documentary of Nigerians in China, South Korea and some central Asian nations. Many of them were even married to Asian women and living very affluently.
We have started experiencing an increase in the population of mixed race people in Nigeria because many of these mixed race children come back to Nigeria.

Muafrika2:
Ha ha

At least my tribe wore leather garments Nothing wrong with leaves BTW.

But its interesting that when you look at the so called Nigerian traditional clothes, you can detect serious Islamic/asian influence.

Yes, we had some influences to our garments, but still you hardly find their replicas outside Nigeria because Nigerians are very creative. For centuries, we knew how to modify our clothings as the world trend changes.

uzzyfire:
lol my guy we are not talking abt Ghana here, don't divert d attention from south Africa . p.s Ghana schools are very easy to get into, just hold ur money and u are in. but in Nigeria u have to go through series of exams before u can get in(that's y we are so brilliant) do u know university of Ibadan is one of d oldest universities in Africa, white people in d 40s got their education their and that school produced a lot of scientists .

I don't own any business in Ghana but there are thousands of Nigerians making mad money there and boasting their chicken change economy . while Ghanaians in Nigeria do menial jobs like clean gutters ,sell stuffs on d streets so on

Don't mind that ignorant soul (Just).

Many Nigerians run to Ghana because they cannot get admission in Nigerian universities (due to fierce competition)!
Many of us like myself have to stay at home for some years and study harder because we could not reach the cut-off mark for admission.
Nigerian govt universities are for the intelligent!

I wonder the intelligence of Ghanaians because you see people who could not secure admission into Nigerian universities running to Ghana and they get admission instantly as long as they have their cash at hand.

sHOTdownHawk:
I have been doing research about this clothe that west africans call traditional. Funny enough they used to wear leaves like most africans until the white ppl traded with them for slave. West africans sold their people for clothes from indonesia and malaysia. Nothing traditional about nigerian clothing. Unless made of leaves

Real african clothing are found on Zulu ppl.[right][/right]

See this ignorant liar!
The portuguese people who traded with Nigerian tribes in the 15th century met our people wearing clothes and they compared the streets of Benin kingdom with steeets of Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Did your naked ancestors ever knew what civilsation was before Europeans? No wonder you are still drinking cow blood in Kenya raw till date.

Just30:
stop right there cos even in West Africa, there's a huge if. Countries like Ivory Coast and Ghana are developing on their own.

Seriously, what development are you guys making when your Accra is just like an ordinary suburb of Lagos like Ikorodu?

How come all other West African countries put together is barely half of Nigeria's GDP? How come your per capital incomes are still half of Nigeria's? What an irony.

Go and see what small countries like yours e.g Gabon and Namibia are doing, then come back and comment.

Just30:
anyway, my leaders don't treat me like a lesser of human. Can you say same?
Your country has the potential to fast forward west Africa development but it's has both of it two eyes blind.

Then explain to me why we have the highest income per capital in West Africa? Twice that of Ghana?

Muafrika2:
Its called fashion. Even the westerners wore something very different 100 years ago when they came to you. Something more akin to your today's bulky attires.

Well, at least the westernerns evolved new fabrics within themselves and their cycle, not from Kenya.
We Nigerians will keep on wearing the bulky attires forever as we have been wearing in time pasts, with modern modifications, ideas and appeal added.

uzzyfire:
lol , u see denial . guy believe wat Eva u want to believe , I sha av sed my own and its very true

I never knew that the Just guy was a Ghanaian. I tot he was Kenyan. Seriously, it is the highest insult for Nigerians to be comparing with Ghanaians.
Compare North-east or North-west Nigeria with Ghana instead. Pls it's really embarassing.

We can manage to debate with Kenya at least, because Kenya is the king (with one eye) in the kingdom of the blind (East Africa).

Jayceon:
a nigerian is calling South Africans primitive? Really?..a guy from the most backwards and cursed jungle in Africa where a man in his 40s doesn't know what a light bulb looks like?...lol just can't stop laughing

Xenophobic lazy asses. Let us agree that all Nigerians are bad people, what abt the Somalians and the Zimbabweans and others attacked in SA? Are they also bad people too?
Go and recover your economy from your slave masters before you think of challenging your superiors who built their own economy and country themselves.

We built the financial, Banking and entertainment capital of Africa with our hands. What did you Xenophobeasts build with your primitive slave hands?
