Then look at the region that has Kumasi as its capital just like Lagos city size is different from size of Lagos city.Mind you Kumasi has a 2.5 million people and the who region known as Asanti Region(Ashanti Region) has a population of 5 million people and its over 80 % urban region with larger urban towns aside its capital Kumasi.Mind you Lagos city with its land size has over 18 million population and the whole state with the sake size of Accra has over 26 million population.

You must be very very silly and dumb to be comparing a region (Ashanti region) to a city (Abuja).

You should compare Kumasi (a city) with Abuja (a city) instead, if you have any senses.

Abuja municipality is 5 times larger than Kumasi. Shame!

NairobiWalker:
Wow! What an eye opener.
Genieluv and Nowenuse is this the country you keep praising?
darfay aka dungfuck, why are you so useless?
Obaboon, all that ego in this kind of crap?

Nigeria is worse than I even thought.

So this Abuja you keep speaking about is a big white elephant? Genieluv, when I told you Abuja is a soulless city and that's why it can never compete with Mombasa you though I was just Arguing. See now? A white elephant. Why would the government waste lots of money building a white elephant when people in Ibadan and Abeokuta - cities that actually have people - look like cities built in 1000AD and never maintained?

You guys need to do something about your country.

You would be so foolish to believe that Abuja metropolitan area with a population of over 6 million people is souless.

Abuja is consistently ranked the fastest growing city in Africa and one of the fastest in the world.
Allow that illiterate who cannot even construct a proper sentence to beguile you.

Nollywood still on the move!

Nollywood is the Hollywood of Africa. Hardly any Black African grows up without watching Nollywood movies.

Before Nairobi can compete with Lagos,it should learn from all this infrastructure in Lagos.


Swift Emergency management service,just call 767 or 112
Lagos state transport metropolitan Authority
World security services equipped with modern technology solution
Lagos state Rapid response squad for ameloriating traffic and other emergencies.

Lagos state DNA and forensic Laboratory for crime investigation.

Lagos state environmental sanitation corps
Lagos state neighborhood l with sport bicycles and modern vans.

Lagos state water transport authority, providing modern ferries,modern water terminal with lanes and marine police.

Nairobi needs to open all its suburbs by creating road connectivity
Nairobi needs to build world class cities from scratch.

Nairobi needs a modern light rail

There is a need to decentralize the CBD to make Nairobi more developed

There is a need to create iconic projects in every part and not the city

Lagos has three gateways to the island and is constructing a 4th mainland bridge.

Lagos is investing heavily on human capital

Lagos is investing heavily on Transport, that's why Lagos public transport is the most advanced in Africa.

Lagos keeps modernizing its infrastructure in order to keep up with the groaning population of the state.
Lagos can boast of thousands of planned cities + the ones under construction

Lagos keeps hosting Businesses, sports ,Fashion and Entertainment and even tourism in Africa.

Lagos GDP is 5th as a countrys Economy in Africa



taysermahiri mtisthe tylann RVP20183 before you tell us Nairobi is 21st century,think very well

I swear that Nairobi is below the pecking order,it has a long way to go.
It will take Nairobi decades to catch up with Lagos infrastructure

Nice Nairobi is just one city. Lagos state is a collection of multiple cities. How can Nairobi every compare Lagos?

Safaricom is partially owned by South Africa company. Vodacom. Hahahaha!

Sometimes you just wonder if Black Kenyans own anything wholly by themselves

gallivant:
What were people speaking or trading with before the Arabs, Indians and Portuguese? Take your hausa mentality to jeddah and blow yourself up. Happy new year.

You guys never traded before the Arabs came. You were all just a bunch of little forest hamlets of subsistence farmers who only eat, farm, play, sleep & fvck.

chrisagyei:
Crazy to hear that boy,a Nigerian telling me about my English.I can fix that writing in a second and besides alleged mistakes you so proudly pinpointed are due to my phone's auto correct typing unnecessary suggestive. words which I lazily overlooked due to the lengthy. reply I typed besides all the Twi or vernacular words I typed was wrongly typed due to the same I would say menace.The suggestive. words imposed was out of contents and again I overlooked them besides the most vital thing is you were able to deduce and extract the information given which leads to a successful communication according to law of communication.The chances that either you or your dad or family member was taught by a Ghanaian should tell you we hold English wilth high esteem.We discourage pidgin and vernacular at formal and even personal situations or occasions .Please don't talk to me about english cos your English and accent is terrible in Nigeria and your invcumbent president and past leaders English can testify how you guys hate English and embrace corrupted English called pidgin which you proudly boast of.I learnt your senators have worse educational foundation and thus pidgin is spoken at the floor of the senatorial proceedings.Please deduce the wisdom from my message and leave the grammar for me to worry about.Thank you.And hope you don't critically examine this my message with your fake grammatical lenses you grammar police.Attack the message but not the messenger and medium

NairobiWalker, t1ann and all the Kenyans who claim Ghana is better than Nigeria. Try reading this piece above without getting a headache.

This is what a supposedly educated Ghanaian has written. No/improper punctuation.
Do you know you're actually disgracing yourself and the educational system of your nation? Just like I always tell Kenyans, go back to your alma mata and request for a refund of your tuition fees cos it was definitely a waste.

You're not the first to type a lengthy reply. Is it my fault that you're using a Java Nokia phone to type this message?

Ibrahimanis:

chrisagyei:
Please be a little factual in your statements.Even Mauritania invest more in Ghana than Nigeria who hardly invest but rather come here for educational tourism and their multi national banks which are not even wholly nigerian owned but with majority shareholders being Ghana's companies with the semi autonomous banks who are not fully controlled by their parents company.The fact that Japanese vehicle companies are mostly in USA does not mean that they control US economy.You should be thankful to ECOWAS that we opened up to accept your banks.Why don't you establish them in Ethiopia or Kenya and for you to say you control Kenya or Ethiopia.Very funny country.Ghana is the 4th African country with the largest FDI and Nigeria hardly investors in our economy.Mauritania invest more in Ghana than Nigeria in 2017 but they hardly boast with it.

See how terrible your English is. To think that you guys always claim you speak better English than Nigeria.

Why don't you just speak Twi or Ewe? We'd understand.

NairobiWalker:
When I tell people like Nowenuse and genieluv exactly this they argue and argue and make ridiculous claims here. Let an honest Nigerian tel them the truth now.

It seems genieluv is the perfect representative of the Nigerian girl. I saw through her hypocrisy from her first point and seems I was precisely right.

Which kain mumu be this na.

Many Nigerians do not know that they are enjoying cheap house rents because they've never heard of house rent costs in other countries.

This is just the same way most Nigerians complained about how expensive things were before our inflation. When inflation came and things became more expensive, we all wished we could go back to the previous time we claimed was 'expensive'

The Nigerian who wrote that article claims that house rent in Lagos is expensive because he is comparing Lagos to Warri, Benin, Enugu, Calabar, Kaduna and other Nigerian cities where house rent is cheaper. Wait till he visits Nairobi or Accra and comes back crying on how cheap Lagos is

I said it before, Lagos & Abuja have so many expensive houses, at the same time they have cheaper ones (as we have tirelessly shown). It all depends on the area one wants to stay.

We showed you a report of a Nairobian complaining of house rent cost in Nairobi, with price tags given. If your brain had understood good analogy, you'd have given us a Nigerian rent story also with price tags.

As a Nigerian who doesn't live in Lagos and has never lived there. I find Lagos to be congested. However, mere looking at the nature of Kibera and other Kenyan slums and also those concentration camp houses with thousands of residents in one building, Lagos has now become Eldorado before mine eyes. Afterall, they say you don't know how sweet your mother's soup is until you taste that of your neighbour's mother.

Danielnino00:
I've never been to Ghana but I've meet a lot of Ghanaians both on and off the internet ..I had a Ghanaian classmate in secondary school... Believe me they hate Nigeria to a fault.. its obvious they haven't gotten over the Ghana must go saga...
Its even more pathetic when u consider the fact that we are the biggest contributors to their country in Africa.. Just look at their entertainment industry,where will it be today without Nigeria? Is there any single Ghanaian A-list actor/actress that hasn't used Nollywood to hit the limelight.. Let's not even talk about their music industry...
Yet u will see a lot of them hating on us...

At the recent Africa women cup of nations which we won in their backyard, the Ghanaians rallied against us in almost all the games we played... if not for our people living there,our girls would have been hearing boos in the stadium all through...

Ghanaians are ungrateful bastards. They're just the way Canada is to the USA.
Many Canadians talk bad about the USA claiming that they are better of, but at the end of the day all Canadian entertainers ride on the backs of Hollywood to achieve world fame and power.

The same Canada hides under the military coverage of the USA.

NairobiWalker:
Why are you so angry?
You kept telling us lies about Ghana, now a Ghanaian is here to tell us the truth, you are mad.
Indebted in what sense? Based on your stupidity here, I have realized the things Nigeria consider as debts are laughable. Even at the beginning of this thread, some of you used to say Kenya is indebted to you, lol. I wonder what kind of education they teach you over there.
So when a president visits you that's a debt? Your president visited Kenya and was wowed by the kind of sophisticated dairy farming that happens here - should we also say you're indebted to us?
Dude, Nigeria is too poor to be a creditor. Get over yourselves. You can't even provide your citizens with basic needs and here you are talking about loaning other countries? Are you mad?

Stop being stupid - The average Ghanian enjoys everything in more quality measure than the average Nigerian - better electricity supply, better nutrition, better environment, higher life expectancy, higher HDI, better education, better infrastructure and almost better everything. You need to get over yourselves, you can't just dominate Ghana. I expect this kind of idiotic reasoning from forgiveness, Nowenuse, Obaboon and genieluv. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Ghana enjoys better living indexes of course as a smaller nation, the same way Denmark, Norway, Canada & Australia enjoys better standards than the US due to it's large population.

I have thrown this analogy to your blockhead countless times!
At the end of the day most Canadians, Australians and Scandinavians pack their baggages to the USA in order to live and fulfill their dreams in business, entertainment, fashion etc. And they cannot sit down to talk where Americans are talking. That's the way it is between Nigeria & Ghana.

NairobiWalker:
When his cheerleaders are poor idiots like Nowenuse aka No-ones-anus and genieluv then what do you expect? He doesn't even need to try.

But you know you are a fool shebi?

genieluv and I (the only hausa speakers) on this thread have made it clear times without number that we understand many swahili words without even trying. This is because those swahili words have same meaning in Hausa arabic versions. Yet fools like you and gallivant are still arguing.

Do you want to wish away the strong Arabic essence of swahili? Or you forgot that the Arabs were the ones who mobilized and spread swahili language, without which it would never have existed?

darfay:
I love the Tiv black and white. And their cultural dance is the best nationwide IMO

This is true. I guess you're talking about the Swange dance. The body movement is so rhythmic and amazing.

gallivant:
25% is inaccurate, which formula did you use? Swahili is a bantu language with a few Arabic and Portuguese loan words. Do you understand 25% of Arabic? Stop lying to Nigerians.

Kazikazi is saying the truth. As a Hausa speaker, I understand many swahili words naturally due to their arabic origins. For instance, most of the words he said are the same in Hausa language.

BlcoChina2018:
Don’t mind these Shitnerian f00ls , that is what I call them . We Ghanaians know how to deal with the mudder fuggerz hahahaha zoogeria those ediots should be hiding their faces in shame. They have reduced a country with great potential to a sh1thole and a laughing stock.

People dey talk, dis one wan still chook mouth.

Ghana must go

genieluv2:
Lol, see the way the white man is starring at him

I love this.

**** We Nigerians also live our cultural attires but we use the modernized ones which clothe us completely for public appearances. I don't buy the idea of using the skimpy/primitve attires for public appearances.

Look below, both are traditional attires of women from my ethnic group. You don't expect me to wear the style of the first picture for public appearances, but the latter goes well for any public/international appearance.

**** Kenyan nilotes have nice cultural attires but they need to be modernized to suit the 21st century.

Pretty ladies. Idoma girls are really cute, but I think Tiv ladies are prettier Say hi to your Miss Benue

genieluv:
I wish I could re-like this comment of yours

I am trying to understand Kenya's tax system. Maybe houses are more expensive in Kenya because they pay property tax or other higher taxes. Cos that is the way it is in Ghana. Ghanaians pay property tax according to what I heard.
@mtisTheQubit & t1ann, do you guys pay property tax in Kenya?

**** There are also expensive houses in Nigeria. In parts of Abuja and Lagos, a 3 bedroom apartment can go for as high as $300 per month or even far more. It all depends on where you want to say. That's the beauty of Nigeria. And because people are allowed to buy lands almost anywhere in a city and build, you can easily get a new decent house at an affordable price because competition is so much and this causes many to force their prices down in especially newer suburbs.

Very very true

I observed that only Lagos, Abuja and perhaps PH have those extremely expensive houses. House rent in other Nigerian cities is quite uniform no matter what part of the city you live in.

In Warri for instance, a 3 bedroom apartment costs exactly around 20k to 40k per month all over. You can never find a 3 bedroom in Warri that costs as much as 100k per month no matter how beautiful the house or neighbourhood is, but in Lagos and Abuja, you can even see a 3 bedroom that cost as much as 150k per month. God forbid.

You think some idiot listing a renowned terrorist group whose roots you do not even know as one of your own isn't a problem?

Hello Malton, remember me? I sent you a Pm, please reply.

Yobeezy:
Stop itching my eyes with these useless screenshots,iroko tv is not known here and it will never be among the Kenya's top cream tv stations due to stiff competition from other local tv stations,keep on being pained.

This is where you get it wrong. The IrokoTV being launched in Kenya is one in which Kenyans subscribe with about $10 monthly in order to get unlimited online access to new Nigerian movies.

IrokoTV channels are already on Dstv, so these ones are already in Kenya

Daejoyoung:
lol so you mean those Kenyan buildings posted by Nowenuse with such outrageous prices are also in pretty good condition?? l can post loads of moderate Nigerian buildings from my city warri alone, where the middle class/ lower middle class live and which are cheaper than those Kenyan slummish structures posted a while ago by Nowenuse.
ln my area in Effurun warri, decent 3 bedroom bungalows range from #(20 to 25)k monthly.

NairobiWalker is an irredeemable idiot who shamelessly argues for the sake of it.

genieluv showed him and other Kenyans the 3 bedroom apartment she lives in Abuja and how it costs 25k ($70) per month, they said she was lying. She showed them this picture below from an online source of a nice house in Abuja that cost 29k ($80) per month, then reasonable Kenyans like mtisTheQubit & t1ann accepted the truth, kept quiet and agreed, but the shameless NairobiWalker kept on foaming his mouth saying unreasonable things.

I mean, how helpless can the condition of a human beign be that you are shown true facts korokoro but yet you still argue and say rubbish? This was exactly the same thing he did early this year when I splattered his shameless self with online adverts of Nigerian houses and how cheap they were compared to Kenyan houses. He then shamelessly began to say that the Nigerian online house adverts were fake


Read this news report below directly from Kenya on how a man who lives in Nairobi laments on how he pays 10k shillings (35,000 naira) monthly for a one room apartment without ventilation (in those overcrowded concentration camp houses )

http://www.ghafla.com/crisis-how-housing-in-nairobi-has-become-a-nightmare-for-millions-of-city-dwellers/

People like KiberaWalker aka NairobiWalker live in slums like Kibera and have no idea how Kenya's middle class suffer poor housing.

Kenyans seriously need to fix that overpriced expensive slum riddled city they call Nairobi.

For God's sake how can someone get a decent 3 bedroom apartment in Nigerian cities for 25k naira ($69) monthly, but in Kenya one pays 35k naira ($100) monthly for a cubicle size 1 bedroom apartment without ventilation in a concentration camp house with thousands of tenants? God forbid ! Kenyans work and live to pay house rents with their salaries. Why won't millions of Kenyans live in the world's largest slums?

Cc genieluv2

Edited : Omg! @Daejoyoung
I re-read the link and now noticed that the house the Kenyan was complaining about in that link wasn't even a room and parlour (1 bedroom apartment) as I thought, it was a freakinng bedsitter (single room).... I really give up on Kenyans. I now pity them infact.

Daejoyoung:
l wonder why rent is expensive in Ghana, Kenya and Angola.

My brother, I just don't understand why a freaking developing nation should have such expensive houses. My friends who stay in Ghana lament how house rent finishes every money they get. ... It's just a pity
There are also very expensive houses in Abuja and Lagos, but the good thing about Nigerian cities is that there is always a decent neighbourhood to suit every pocket size in that same city you live in. Not everyone pays outrageous house rents. Infact majority of Nigerians do not.

Ibrahimanis:
Most expensive cities in Africa for residential properties

Thank you so much for this graph. This is what I and genieluv have been trying to tell this idiotic Kenyans.

Houses are far more expensive in slum riddled Nairobi than Lagos. You can imagine even Mombasa's houses are more expensive than Lagos & Cairo's houses.

Expect the idiots to come here and explain to us how Mombasa is more developed than Cairo & Lagos hence it's reason for being more expensive.

darfay:
C d way Kenyans like okrika


E sure me say na okrika/bend down select na him Tashamaria and rvp20183 dey sell. Na Wetin cause their fight sef dem dey drag customers

Hahahaha , nor be small tin oo. E be like say na Okrika sure pass for Kenya.
With all the people wey dey wear/sell okrika for naija, we nor know say na learn we dey learn work where Kenya dey. Later dem go dey yarn say na dem get money pass us.

NairobiWalker:
Stop entertaining this genieluv hypocrite, if Nigeria housing was that cheap then why on earth would Nigerians live in housing like this below? I understand kenyan's average earnings is much higher than theirs but nobody would live in dumps like this if the cost of a semi-detached massionate was 69 dollars per month.

genieluv, I wonder why you still waste your time with this imbecille. Abi him dey sama juju put for your mata wey you wan dey folo am yarn everytime?
Shebi you don see say me and am don digga this mata before? But the mugu nor still gree even with all the online adverts wen I show am. Nor dey folo dis mumu yarn again. Single shame e nor get for body. Tufiaa.

NairobiWalker:
Please, stop teaching me about Iroko TV, I have no intention of watching it. The only African TV I watch regularly are Kenya's KTN News, Kiss TV, PPP and South Africa's Supersport.

Every Kenyan must not watch IrokoTV, I myself do not watch it, but that did not stop the company from being worth $30 million.

Not everyone goes to Shoprite or uses Mtn in Nigeria, but does that stop these companies from raking in millions of dollars annually from Nigeria?

genieluv2:
The bolded is my interest.

I invite all Kenyans here to tune to Dstv channel 198 for the calabar carnival ! (the biggest street party in Africa).

***** It just began today and Kenyan performers are performing live, just after the South African zulu performers finished theirs

@ NairobiWalker, mtisTheQubit, t1ann e.t.c

The theme is Africanness!

I'm watching it too dearie

Of course, only Nigeria promotes Africa and African culture to the world. Kenyans would rather watch European teenage girls drink tea on blankets and practice that

This year is so much gonna be on African culture considering the theme.
There will be more performances from almost all African countries.

I can't wait for the Tanzanian women twerkers like last year when they shut the whole stadium down

genieluv:
Can you pls link me to that debate so that I can see for myself?

Here is the link

https://www.nairaland.com/3327789/kenya-ahead-nigeria-all-aspect/1820

rvp20183:
You're crazy.Nigeria is a zoo.Kenya is progressive nation with few things to fix.Just pick any index and check.Dont pick outliers like that covenant university.We have two issues that we are sorting.. corruption and hard one ethnic politics.Othewise pick any indicator of progress...and Kenya is almost assured to be ranked top 5 in Sub Sahara..and Nigeria almost assured to be ranked at the bottom.The are no Nigerian companies in Kenya with any serious stake...some off your banks bought struggling family banks with 2 branches and the Helios a London based Equity fund bought equity in some companies.South African cannot hack Kenya..how can Nigeria manage.Dangote still terrified to step in .In 15yrs we have grown our economy from $12B to $90B.Tax revenue includingAIA from $2B to $20B.Be terrified about the next 15yrs.We have halved those living in poverty.Electricity coverage from 12% to 80%.We have built world class infrastructure.Expanded universities from 7 public to nearly 70 plus many private.Enrollment from 50K to o.6M.Primary education enrollment shot up like crazy.Secondary education transition approaching 100%.We can go on and on...but you won't accept our lies.Although every Kenyan always painstakingly seek to provide empirical evidence.

With all these, Kenya slum population is increasing.

Starvation in the midst of peace and abundance is still an annual thing in Kenya.
Why? Because most of the available arable land in Kenya is used for farming tea and flower gardens by Kenyatta & family and other foreigners.

Kenya is still predominantly rural.

There is so much underdevelopment in large parts of Kenya that people still live stone age lives (turkanas, Samburus e.t.c)

People in certain parts of Kenya have to travel hundreds to thousands of kilometres before they can come across any city.

Life in Kenya (a developing country) is still very expensive compared to other developing nations who are even doing better than you guys.

The economy of Kenya is still heavily dominated by foreigners. In a country that is 99% black, the richest people are from the 1% white skinned minority.

Black politicians instead of Black business men are still the richest people in Kenya and these thieves still flaunt their wealth in the faces of the masses.

Kenya cannot still boast of a very powerful entertainment and fashion industry. Your entertainment is still heavily dominate by Nigeria & Tanzania.

Kenyans have been mentally colonized by the Europeans. There is no celebration and promotion of African cultures, African festivals, carnivals, African attires etc. Rather grown up Black African men prefer to celebrate Blanket & tea parties like teenage European girls.

Tribalism is still the order of the day in Kenya in spite of the fact that you guys have a national language (swahili) which should have been used to unite everyone as one just like Tanzania did.
Where were Kenyans when Tanzania united everyone in their nation with swahili and buried tribalism? Yet you guys want to still argue ownership, proficiency and promotion of swahili with Tanzanians.

obaaderemi:
Nowenuse already had that contest with the kiberawalker. Like always, he got beaten silly and had to disappear for months. You need to view that battle. it was funny.

Yes genieluv, I already had a debate with NairobiWalker on the cheapness of Nigerian houses compared to Kenyan houses and I gave him a good ol whoopinh on that , then they started giving excuses on how houses and life is generally expensive in Kenya because Kenya is better advanced than Nigeria.

I then showed them purchasing power parity and nominal per capital figures which showed that life in Malaysia is cheaper than that of Kenya, and can you believe that these idiots went as far as comparing Kenya to Malaysia just to excuse the expensiveness of life in their country?

genieluv:
Imagine this, such overcrowding. How do people even survive in this kind of houses? I would suffocate if I was here.

***** I have no idea how much these houses cost, but if I were to give a guess, I'd say maybe #100,000 ($300) per annum?

Wrong. These houses cost as much #600,000 ($1,750) per annum. Can you imagine? You just have to wonder how people breathe in these kind of houses without sufficient ventilation.
This is why most Kenyans have red eyes and the likes of NairobiWalker and other Kenyans are very insultive and bitter. Can someone live in this kind of house and still be happy and mentally stable? Hell no!

Imagine thousands of people living in one building.

genieluv:
Can you guys ever engage in discussions without being directly insultive and disrespectful?
***** Aren't you guys taught common manners from your early schooling? I really fear the kind of education given to Kenyan kids.

~~~Nigerians building extension apartments in their compounds for rent is the reason why we don't have overblown slum communities in our cities. Because people with lower incomes can find good apartments for rent in decent houses.

Genie, look at these Kenyan houses below, I call them CONCENTRATION CAMP HOUSES

These are the only kind of houses accessible to low income Kenyans. These are the houses people like NairobiWalker, TayserMahiri and rvp20183 live in .

Can you guess how much the range of rent for these houses are? Just give a wild guess.
