How to be in the real estate business in Makoko.. Really nice house for the handyman, close to water source, nice and friendly neighborhood and survival change is at massive 55%!

NairobiWalker:
The word slum doesn't exist to them, 90% of their cities are slums.

NairobiWalker:
The worst. Imagine 90% of a city the size of Nairobi looking like that.

NairobiWalker:
What is the population of white people in Kenya?

Kazikazi:
Bro,blame our history and geographical area.We are close to the middle east and Asia.We had more Arabs and Indians who settled in East Africa than west Africa.We intermarried with them.Their offspring are here,running their life just like fellow 'darkies'.

In Tanzania,we had political parties which was gunning for independence which were supported by the so called Asians.In islands of Zanzibar, The Afro_Shiraz party was a party formed by darkies and Asians! And the independence was gained.

In other ways,we may say,east Africa isn't totally a darkies region as your west Africa.The Asians arrived in east Africa centuries ago even before some of 'Bantu' tribes arrived.We have 127 tribes in Tanzania,but not all of them are Bantus.

Most of the richest guys in Tanzania are from the offspring of Arab settlers and Indians. And most Arabs are in oil business,thanks to their middle eastern lineages.. and thanks to our landlocked nations who are importing oil through east Africa.


The issue at hand is..what should we do when this offsprings of Asians becomes successful? Or what can Tanzania or east Africa do to help darkies be more successful than Asians? Incentives may be?

I hope Nowenuse will for the last time understand ths..we are mixed lot

Why are Nigerians more passionate about IPOB and Biafra related issues, instead of showing same level of energy and commitment to Nigerian plight?
I've watched my fellow Nigerians closely, they invest more energy plotting against IPOB and Biafra, instead of proffering solutions to issues mitigating the growth of the nation.

It's naturally expected to see citizens of any country to show ardent concern to their country first. Book Haram is ravaging the nation, killing over a 118 soldiers, people are loosing their jobs, no power ...Yet, the citizens are busy antagonising IPOB, who are tired of the status quo and need a change. Is it that Nigerians love the pain of joblessness, no power, insurgency and economic hardship?

Does it occur to many of us that by 2040, oil will sell less than $30 because, all European nations,USA and China will stop the use fossil cars? How do we generate revenue? Does it bother you?
We pay $30 per barrel to the Company that thrills oil from deep waters.

Defending Nigerian retrogression is like defending the devil. Countries like Mauritius, Cyrus, Brazil and Singapore got there independent around same time. And if you say population is the problem, what do you make of China,Brazil and USA?

I'm ashamed of you. Proffer solution(s) to the difficulties facing Nigeria, stop investing energy on others problem.

Obi1kenobi:
Yeah, I was referring to core Northerners. I definitely wasn't including the Middle Belt. I'm no tribal bigot, but I simply don't feel this country belongs together with the core North. They themselves were the original secessionists long before the civil war, but were induced by the prospects of political dominance to stay in the union. They pretend to be more patriotic than anyone, when in reality, the main reason they are the most committed people to the Nigerian project is oil money. Nigeria would have broken up long ago if it was the North that had the oil and the South depended on them.

Obi1kenobi:
There is something very disturbing about Northern plebs and their sheepish, slavish devotion to their elites. There is a cultural dysfunction among Northern peasants that seems to be a legacy of the pre-colonial feudal society. I understand from a strategic point of view why the SW would stand by Buhari, but if there is any region in the country where Buhari is utterly failed, it is in the North where they are as impoverished and insecure as they've ever been. Yet, they retain a child-like unconditional devotion.

claseek:
I'm not sorry to say, majority of these core northerners behave like sheeps.. Tueh!!

Despite the hardship, insecurity and the very sorry state of the economy mostly affecting the North, these people are still chanting sai baba.. Have they not felt enough damage from PMB administration. How do they reason sef?!

That man needs to go ASAP!! and we do not want atiku either.

Quality20:
But why are these Hausa men not introducing d local tribes into the business na?. I don't wanna hear of another economic crisis colored with religion tomorrow o. Cos very soon d locals might feel settlers have taken all d money making activities, leaving them with nothing

Macabinha:
I strongly disagree with you, all tribes in Nigeria has contributed in one way another to her greatness...
If we start with the Hausa; who is the UN deputy secretary general? who is the richest man in Africa?
visit the middle East and North Africa to see Hausa doctors and engineers performing wonders.
we also have musicians actors and other professionals doing great from these minor tribes.

I will conclude by saying countries like Botswana, Namibia, etc don't gave David, wizkid, phyno, or many global icons... but their decency and sincerity has given them credible I international recognition.

A Swaziland citizen can go to UK without a Visa,
A Botswana citizen can go to Germany without a Visa
Even a Malawi citizen can visit Singapore, south Korea, honking etc.. without a Visa.

I have seen where the greatness of our brothers is leading us.
with all our resources ..no body wants us anywhere ... Even in countries like Fiji and Mongolia... Nigerians are in jail either for printing fake US dollars or something shocking...

please do a research and find out how many Nigerians are in jail abroad for serious offences and what tribes do they come from.



To mention most of the so called tribesmen you exalt destroyed our reputation with fake documentation. now everything about Nigeria is verification.

Macabinha:
Although I don't support tribalism, I will like to point out the reality of things.

In the diaspora crime linked to Nigerians is mainly from Igbos and yourbas... same applies locally.
Their quest for wealth and fame is disgusting.

The international community mostly frowns on Nigerians for drug peddling and internet fraud.

Although I know quite a few Igbos and yoruba guys that are legit.

but Lets be realistic.... How many people from the Hausa community or Jos-plateau, cross river, Benue, and other minority tribes have been convicted of crimes relating to the above mentioned locally and internationally.

This is an issue of cultural and societal upbringing.....
Even armed robbery, ritual killing, human trafficing and kidnapping crimes are often associated to these tribes.

pleae Stop giving Nigeria a bad image.. you are not the only tribes making up Nigeria.. we are all tired of bearing your shame.

Sometime I wonder how appealing the Brafian passport will be to foreigners if it works out. It may actually be the least ranked passport with visa free access to only Nigeria.

Even within the Nigerian community if you wish to associate with this tribes your parents will warn you... be careful oh.. na Igbos boy or na yoruba boy... meaning this started way before our time.

Ihaveleftnaija:
Tribalism is a serious problem in Nigeria, the disgusting part is that it's now mainly practiced by the so called educated youth . I give up.

Ihaveleftnaija:
Why not copy the way they hold their ministers and leaders accountable, starting with fixing our judiciary system to be independent from politics . That is how the Jonathans of this country could stand trial in front of the whole country like Zuma is currently doing . But we also have tribalism to deal with, Zulus are not causing any violence over his trial, could that be the case here . Nigeria matter tire me o.

BluntBoy:
You people always think worse of your own government. What makes you think the SA government is doing more than our government?

There is also one thing many of you don't understand, and that is selflessness as per patriotism.

South Africans have comparatively much smaller numbers of billionaires but each of these billionaires assist communities heavily. So South Africa is not just a product of the government but of the citizens as well.

In Nigeria, reverse is the case. Selfishness is the reason why there is high rate of looting. And tribalism is so rife that it even affects political party affiliations. How can a country move forward when opposition take sides with looters because they don't like the ruling party? Looters are supposed to be our common enemy but some people hate the president so much that they will take sides with looters and frustrate efforts to penalise the looters.

The South African citizenry is not built this way, at least not so evidently and brashly.

So, instead of blaming government, why can't you review your own contributions to the mess?

A country needs more than her leaders to grow. When you wish your country bad simply because you want the president to be discredited, how would the country move forward. Many Nigerians have become so blinded by sentiment that they would rather curse their country than contribute their quota.

yinchar:
Nigerians will never understand the dynamics of things...

Firstly to start with South Africa has an efficient Tax Revenue System, the minimum Tax is 25% flat, coupled with 15% VAT.

Everybody has a Tax number and the Tax on your salary or payment is automatically removed from the source, meaning you can't escape it.

Imagine earning N100,000 per mount and the government Tax Revenue service automatically removes N25,000.

Can that be possible in Nigeria without rioting?....And everything you buying is subjected to 15% VAT. Last time I checked VAT in Nigeria is still a miserable 5%, tax on salaries is 1-2%, one of the lowest in the world. And, yet we still want to government to be able to pay salaries with good infrastructures. Also, fuel is N145/Litre in Nigeria and almost N450/Litre in South Africa.

Let's stop comparing apples with mangos.

Food for thought.

winj3:
You should weep for the stupid citizens, nothing wrong with the name or the country...just useless poor quality citizens who lack basic commonsense!

NairobiWalker:
That's not CIA. That's a blog known as infoplease. I knew you were stupid, I never thought you were this stupid.

NairobiWalker:
A newspaper article is not a credible source. Stupid. Which university did you go to? Did they allow you to cite newspapers in your thesis?

NairobiWalker:
CIA is an American outfit that collects data for America and no country has an obligation to update it's data with them. Using CIA as your source is just dumb. For correct credible data, use WHO, UN, World Bank, IMF, WHO or the respective statistical body of the said country.

Here's the correct data from world bank. 64 years. Stupid.

https://data.worldbank.org/country/Namibia

Anyway, even by CIA data, Namibia's life expectancy is still 64. I wonder where you're getting your figures.

NairobiWalker:
How many times do I have to tell you Namibia's life expectancy us not 51? Why are you so daft? I won't even waste my time facepalming at you telling me about your grandparents age to counter your pathetic life expectancy.

NairobiWalker:
Namibia life expectancy is 64 years. Stupid.

Eritrea is 65 years. Less than Kenya but waaay higher than Nigeria.

NairobiWalker:
Ouch! This is going to hurt kazikazi. He's such a loyal lap dog to you and turn against him just like that?

Majority of the richest people in Kenya are blacks. Most of those nice buildings we post are inhabited by blacks. Only Tanzanians are Indian and Arab dominated (Google ownership of their top companies and businesses and you'll see). SA might be white dominated but their blacks are still richer than any other blacks in Africa.

I would still rather live a good life in foreign dominated country than die in poverty and starvation. You need to work on good nutrition and raise your life expectancy to at least 60. Even Zimbabwe, whose life expectancy dropped to 38 during their recession are already up at 61 years despite the AIDS epidemic. What's wrong with you Nigerians? Even wartorn Somalia is better than you?

Kur17:
Ignorance will kill you one day

In Kenya we have only two that are not blacks in top ten

Google Richest people in Tanzania, then Google Richest people in Kenya and come back to me with your Tanzania's middle class is black gibberish. You people don't know Tanzania. Just because a Tanzanian idiot offered to be a convenient ally when we were whipping your asses you think you understand Tz? Lol.....if you think Kenya and SA are dominated by whites and Indians, then you haven't been to Tanzania.

NairobiWalker:
Thank you for the unnecessary garbage.

None of those countries you mentioned has a life expectancy of 53. Anything less than 60 is poverty. Anything less than 55 is starvation.

kikuyu1:
You've posted that infograph at least 7000x!! The fact that you're only seeing it now shows when we call you mentally challenged we're not being cruel.

rvp20183:
Pretty sure the EIA made a mistake - Nigeria has no middle class to talk about.

NairobiWalker:
It is 2018 bruh. Stop feeding me with culture bullshit. It's 2018 and anyone who sells their daughter in 2018 is living in hopeless poverty.

NairobiWalker:
When you're poor, you have less to eat, you have poor medical care, you have a violent society, you starve hence you die young. It's that simple. Thank you for accepting you have more poor people, it's the very thing you've been denying on this thread all along.
