Is that why Jumia is on the red and saw 47% drop in revenues. I doubt you'll know what middle class is even if it's smack your face.
http://www.itwebafrica.com/e-commerce/694-africa/237767-african-e-commerce-firm-jumia-sees-revenues-fall-by-417

Companies rise and fall for so many different reasons including mismanagement.

Does that in any way reduce the population of Nigerians shopping online?

NairobiWalker:
Please, fix your low life expectancy before poking your nose in our affairs. The only thing that can cause somebody to sell their daughter is poverty.

African cultures and even other pre modern age cultures of Asia practiced female child bethrotal.
Get a book and read some history for yourself, rather than displaying your ignorance.

How come only a single tribe in one LGA out of the 774 LGAs of Nigeria practice that?

Kenyans on the other hand sell their teenage and even pre-teenage daughters to white tourists for cash.

Have sex with a child for a dollar in Kenya? OMG!

I don't believe the Nigerian ones either. You can't have such a large middle class yet you can't live beyond 53. Most of you guys die before your kids are through high school.

OTanzania has a tiny middle class though.

We have a larger percentage of poorer people hence the low life expetancy.

Nigeria cannot have such a robust e-commerce sector without a large middle class population to support it.
Use your brains.

As of 4 years ago when we had only 50 million internet users, (65%) about 30 million people shopped online.

http://venturesafrica.com/nigeria-is-africas-leading-ecommerce-market/amp/

Now we have 103 million active internet subscribers. Definitely, about 60 million Nigerians should now be shopping online.

Poor people can walk into any mall to make a purchase, but it takes some level of financial power and literacy to own a smartphone and shop online.

A rat is not a meal my friend.

Actually, it's Nigerians who sell their women and girls. Don't be confused.

Read the article. This has been an agelong culture among a particular ethnic group in Cross River state. It is not borne out of present day poverty. Unlike that of Kenya.

I couldn't help but notice how tiny Tanzania's middle class is.

I don't believe the figures for Tanzania. There must be a mistake somewhere

Kenyanstar:
See who is applying the double standards now? The Niigerians and South African slave girl have been the same individuals who have been castigating Kenyans as an Indian and White run country. We pointed out South Africa as a classic white infrastructure developed Nation and even posed the question of, if any black leadership in South Africa has initiated a multi-billion dollar project since assuming power? None was forthcoming. Nigeria is the complete opposite, a 100% black leadership but comfortable with its under development.

Nigeria is leading black Africa in so many progressive statistics.
The largest percentage (not just population alone) of Black African middle class citizens.

rvp20183:
In 10yrs - Nairobi will be at same level with JoBurg & Cairo - if not better. If public housing under Agenda 4 complement the private sector investment in real estate - Nairobi will be a world class city very soon.

Nairobi will never be a world class city as long as the population in the slums outnumber that of the rest of the city.
And your slums will never go until your government makes housing and the overall cost of living lower.

Kur17:
True, the overall rate of which the real estate growth that being witnessed is Kenya is so unprecedented anywhere in Africa, in 4yrs time Nairobi will add four over 40flrs towers..

..Excitingly, the growth is balanced in all sectors,from residential, shoppingmalls, skyscrapers to highways and bypasses

In Nigeria, NECOM House(32flrs/160m) was built 40yrs ago and it's still the tallest building in Lagos/Nigeria

rvp20183:

Everything is always about Nairobi.

Even at that, just one section of Nairobi.

Whatever happened to Eastleigh (the economic and financial heartbeat of Nairobi)?

I watched a documentary of Nairobi on aljazeera and this was definitely the real Nairobi shown on TV. ( SMH)

Tanzania had corruption although less than Kenya.Yes Nyerere wasn't corrupted but he didn't die a pauper.Mkapa was corrupt just as mwinyi and Jk.There are some mining companies which operated for 17 years without paying a penny into gov coffers.

Blaming socialism is a nosense. The effects of socialism in today's Tz are minimal.Uganda,Burundi,Kenya,and other poor African nations never had socialism but are poor! China,Vietnam, Poland etc are well advanced but they had socialism. Actually,Kenya got food aid from China.we don't discourage private wealth in Tz.The richest man in east Africa is a Tanzanian.

I really don't know why you are so obsessed with land.India have managed to achieve agricultural revolution without having white farmers! That is what Tz wants to do,to empower our people.We can have our own modern agriculture without having a lot of whites.If Kenyans have monies they can invest in Tz,we have some white farmers fromSA who are in sugarcane plantations (Illovo sugar).We don't fear Kenyans,but we block poor Kenyans who can't meet our investment policies. We don't need Kenyan peasants.

Tanzanians aren't lazy.But Kenyans are.FYI,no hardworking man can starve to death.There is no single Tanzanians who starved to death! But we have a number of Kenyans who starved to death.We are selling tons of food to Kenya daily.Don't bring a story of drought.Israel is almost a desert nation but they don't starve.Namibia too don't starve so as south Africa and even Egypt. No one died from starvation in these countries! But why Kenya??

Kenyans are lazy,Kenyans lack technological know how of modern farming.You failed to utilize your freshwater for irrigation!
Kenyan education is too theoretical.Knowing English can't eradicate your slums and starvation but technology will help.Kenya,Ghana,Uganda,Nigeria,Zambia and other African nation which embraced English wholeheartedly are still crawling.Most of these guys cant speak english properly but they are busy worshiping it!Pathetic.Malaysia,Singapore,south Korea,Japan,Germany don't worship English language but are too advanced.

Its true Tanzanians suffers by using Swahili in schools and use English in advanced stages.We need to use Swahili from nursery up to university. There many research which proved that learning in your mother tongue helps a learner to have a better understanding of a subject especially in science and maths.

Well said.

rvp20183:
Look like theyve palm wine aka ogogoro..mnazi in east africa coastal regions but clearly lack the repoitre of traditional wines, beers and gins that we got around Kenya.

You

Jonraid:
Even when you look at the contemporary drinks segment,nothing in Africa beats tusker beer!

You guys are unserious. Bragging about brewing poison in the name of local brew?
Nigerians have Palm wine and other local brews which are neatly done and well processed. Besides, our lives do not revolve around these local brews unlike in Kenya where people sleep and wake up on changaa.

rvp20183:
Wake us up when that happens. Tanzania never really had a corruption problem like we do have in Kenya or Nigeria. I mean Nyerere never stole - he died a pauper. MKapa & Mwinyi were never really corrupt. Maybe there was nascent corruption under Jakaya Kikwete but it's nothing serious. Tanzania has never had problem with it's political stability or governance.

Your problems we have told you is the debilitating legacy of Ujamaa/communism that has bred an environment where personal advancement is frown upon & private wealth is discouraged. That philosophy is still manifested in all levels.

You need to really embrace capitalism. Start with land. Privatize all lands save for land reserved for public goods (road reserves, forests, parks). Improve protection of private property. Allow people to sell land freely. I know you fear Kenyans will come and take over you land - that is just irrational - Uganda has lot of arable - and nobody is taking over.

And then continue with privatization - build a private sector like we've done here and stop meddling in private business. Gov should facilitate private sector and should ensure there is stability in policy - don't wake up like Magufuli with sweeping changes everyday. That scare investors.

Once you've planted the seed of capitalism - Tanzanians will stop being lazy and jealous - and become hardworking & aspirational (greedy for success). US is the capital of capitalism and their work ethic is un-matched - people work 2-3 jobs for long hours - so they can live great lives.Kenyans also wake up early and sleep late because there is no community or gov or village to bail you out - you work or you starve - the more you work the richer you get.

Your other problems we have told you is very bad education where 90% of your kids end up in high school without the ability to write, read or speak English and they are expected to be taught complex stuff in English- the language of instruction. Your language policy has failed but you're stuck right there. You decide to go fully Kiswahili or English. Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia, Zim, Uganda and name them - had these debates - and all decided English was the way to go. Dump kiswahili in phases and invite English teachers from Africa to come help your kids.

@bolded. Since Kenyans work so hard always... How come they still have all day to brew and wallow in Chang'aa and Busaa? Who do you think you are deceiving?

They want to disarm the local vigilantes, so that fulani herdsmen can embark on a free killing mission. Evil people.

1 No population headcount happened in 1921. What happened then is probably same as what just happened now, Difference being ignorant colonists vs Ignorant American government agency making..... Yes, Guesses.. Besides I am not saying the US agency is biased or superficial, I am just simply saying the figures are most likely wrong. Which is very very possible. Heck, the best of their intelligence units can't even get a simple election result prediction under their noses right.

2- If it is actually a RESEARCH like you claim it is, where is the methodology and report, or better still How and when was it done like the OP rightly asked?

3 how can you possibly believe Igalas are more than URHOBOS, Nupes or even Edos? Common be serious.... #*Stern Face*

It is very possible for Igalas to outnumber Urhobos and Edos (Binis). Igalas can also outnumber Nupes if you do not include Nupe speaking tribes like Kakanda, Kupa, ganagana, dibo and bassa to Nupe population.

Igalas are found in 10 LGAs in Kogi state (dominate 8 and minorities in 2). They are also found in communities in Anambra, Enugu, Benue and even Delta & Edo states (Ebu, Ilushi & Ifeku towns).

Unless you add Isokos to Urhobos or count the entire Edo speaking tribes in Edo state as one, then Igalas can clearly outnumber them.

Alepa:
Lmao who the fuck_ cares about the demented osu bastards quoting me ?
Only idiotic pigs of Biafra are quoting me . And I ain’t got time for terrorists

Tribalism has destroyed you.
FYI, I am from Plateau state, North-central.

Check my profile to confirm. Well meaning Nigerians from all around criticize you.
Get a life, cos you are too young to be consumed by such tribal/religious hatred and prejudice.

May God help you.

Alepa:
Show us what you eat as lunch .
Or brunch.
Stop saying nonsense.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this .
Even food vendors here in the west sell food inside nylon for people . Stop making a mountain out of an ant hill.
If these kids were given plates and spoons . Many of these plates will be destroyed.
Or . Let’s assume they want to take them back and wash them so the kids can use them again . There’s no way these plates and spoons will be washed clean .
Well. You don’t have to agree with me .
But there’s nothing wrong with this food inside nylon

Sebi you can see all the quotes you got from people? They serve you right.
Sometimes politics just turn some of you to irredemably stupid and wicked people.

As long as we have many Nigerians reasoning like you, this country may never progress.
A mentality of mediocrity. God forbid !

As other people have rightly told you and even laid curses on you, so shall it be that your children and children children will feed from such malnutritious cellophine food forever.

First of all the name Jukun means Ugali in one Kenyan community. You are Ugali boy.

I am not Jukun. But hey, Jukuns and I are all Kwararafans just as Mandinkas and Bambaras of West Africa are all Mandes.
Too complex for your uncivilized skull?

forgiveness:
Lying Kenyan.

In 2016, Kenya's telecom industry contributed approximately $1.8b to Kenya's GDP against $9.6b Nigeria generated in 2016. That is 8 times what Kenya generated in 2016.

$1.8b from Safaricom (largest telecom with 80% market share) and $169.2m dollars from Airtel Kenyan (second largest telecom market with12% market). (See snapshot 1 & 2).

What will the remaining 8% generate? $3b dollars? Clown!

Nothing more than $100m dollars. Bhuhahahaha!

Meanwhile, Telecom industry already contributed $9.68b dollars to Nigeria's GDP in. (See Snapshot 3)

In 2017, Safaricom revenue was just $2b which was 71% of the total revenue all the telecom companies generated in 2017. (See snapshot 4)

While that of the second largest telecom in Kenya Airtel with 16% market share revenue dipped to $167.59m dollars IN 2017 from $169.2m dollars in 2016. (See snapshot 3)

Where did the extra $2b dollars come from? Is it from the third and other unprofitable telecom in Kenya? Bhuhahahaha!

Kenya's telecom industry revenue in 2017 was just $2.1b dollars. Bhuhahahaha!

MTN Nigeria with just 36% share market in Nigeria's telecom made $2.4b dollars. Bhuhahahaha!

Dude! You can lie to your fellow Kenyans not me.

rvp20182 just has to commit suicide today.

After all the lies he has been spreading about Kenya's telcom sector being as much as that of Nigeria.

Kenyans are just so desperate to discredit anything about Nigeria that doesn't sit well with their twisted minds. Shameless souls.

Kikuyu1 who cheered rvp20182 should see this for himself.

forgiveness:
Nigeria's telecom 2014 revenue was $9.8b dollars.

TayserMahiri:
When I ask your 'ethnic group' I expect you to give me a singular noun, like Yoruba, Igbo, Fulani, Jukun, Twi, Asante, Zulu, Kikuyu, etc. You are trying too hard to run away from this. We need to know ur useless ethnic group's name. You cant mention its name because you want by all means to tie it to Nok and Gwaragwara State.

You see where you get it all wrong?

Sometimes Asante is referred to an ethnic group, other times it becomes the larger AKAN ETHNIC GROUP

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akan_people

I can tell you my tribe is Kona, Jukun or Kwararafa. Kona exists as a tribe, it is sometimes classified as Jukun, same way Jukun under Kwararafa.

I can be Castellian and the same time Spanish.
I can be Breton and same time French.
I can be Amazigh or Tamasheq and same time Berber.
I can be Maithili or Rajasthani and same time Hindi.
I can be Bedouin and same time Arab.
I can be Shanghainese (Wu chinese) or Cantonese and same Han Chinese and same time Chinese.
I can be Saraiki and the same time Punjabi.

You really know nothing little boy.

You can imagine that these thieving creatures falled Kenyans have been posting fake pictures claiming to be Nairobi all along? It is finished.

Kenyanstar, you should be ashamed of yourself!

TayserMahiri:
We came from Mars aboard a monster ship.

People with no origin! What a shame! This is the reason why you have no culture and behave like riff-raffs.

TayserMahiri:
You are not Kwararafa. You have an ethnic group that you would never mention because you feel embarrassed of it yet still find the audacity to abuse Bantus.

Is Bantu an ethnic group?
What do you define as an ethnic group?
There is no clear definition of what an ethnic group is in the world of today. It has become what people define it as.

Is Spanish an ethnic group? Or a nationality? Is Italian an ethnic group or a nationality? Is Scandinavia an ethnic group?

TayserMahiri:
Nothing unique here. Most neighboring ethnic groups tend to be related everywhere.



Is that why you are becoming extinct in this increasingly modern world?

Where did the Kikuyus originate from? The ground? I bet you don't know this. I know where my own people have roots in, do you?

TayserMahiri:
Nothing unique here. Most neighboring ethnic groups tend to be related everywhere.



Is that why you are becoming extinct in this increasingly modern world?

There are 20- 30 million people of Nok/Kwararafa descent in Nigeria. Who is becoming extinct?

TayserMahiri:
So you are Jukun. You are so useless. How many are you now or are you becoming extinct already? How comes you dont reproduce like your fellow Nigerians?

Ask questions on what you do not know. That wikipedia page was just a summary.

Didn't you see that Kwararafa was an ethnic confederacy? It encompassed multiple related ethnic groups, most of whom were descendants of Nok.

In Nigeria, almost every ethnic group belonged to/descended to one particular kingdom at a point in time.

TayserMahiri:
Dont hide behind Nok. You are not Nok.

Most ethnic groups in my state and my region are culturally and linguistically related and we have common origins.
Our clans weren't united by the British like the way the Yoruba and Igbo subgroups were united, just for the sake of political and administrative convenience.

That doesn't mean that we do not know our origins and cultural affinities.
