254tobby: It's just naming. The name college in Nigeria refers to secondary schools or high schools. It's just a different naming system. |

rvp20182: Did u research Cellulant? Cellulant was founded by a Nigerian and Kenyan. It has headquarters in both Nigeria and Kenya. Its biggest market is in Nigeria though Ken Njoroge(Kenyan) is a co-founder and ceo as well as Bolaji Akinboro(Nigerian) who is also a co-founder an ceo. So i guess here it's 50/50. Glad to see the two biggest tech countries in Africa working together. 1 Like |

rvp20182: Is it me or those picture i posted do not look wack. This is coming from a person who has schooled in America. Those pictures are not even pictures i would dream that a 3rd world country like Nigeria would have. The schools look lovely(on any standard) and are quite the expense. Ultimately i would like more public schools in Nigeria to look like those private schools i posted Let's see private schools in Kenya shall we? |

rvp20182: Yes there are some with white admixture no doubt but facts remain that even before the modern creation of Nigeria there were accounts of lightkskinned igbos who were to be slaves. Search it up. The igbos were recognized by their light skin. It probably has to do with the igbos coming from a heavily forested region. 1 Like 1 Share |

rvp20182: It's true Kenya had a head start on building modern retail space, no doubt. Modern retail space is fairly nascent in Nigeria Here's an article from MCkinsey: https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/marketing-and-sales/our-insights/africas-growing-giant-nigerias-new-retail-economy And another one from euromonitor: http://www.euromonitor.com/grocery-retailers-in-nigeria/report Modern retail space has been booming in Nigeria recently with Nigeria's formal retail space more than doubling recently... In no time Nigeria will catch up, giving its huge population 8 years ago a middle class Nigerian would have probably went to the local market or some poor quality building to buy his necessities. To go to malls, he would have to travel far distances go to the nearest mall or travel abroad Today the dynamics have changed. The middle class Nigerian has options with more and more malls being built around him. He has stores now like shoprite, spar, game, and others to choose from. Now Nigerian indigenous investors are seeing the opportunities and expanding rapidly. Nigeria has its own version of Sam's Club now(NEXT) Neighborhood malls and stores are also fast becoming a trend these days What's fascinating is that investors are not only interested in Lagos and Abuja, they also see the middle class outside Lagos and Abuja and are rapidly expanding into 2nd tier cities in Nigeria as well Don't see why formal retail space is recently booming in Nigeria if there isn't a substantial middle class... BTW the the two rivers mall is about to get beat by a mall in Eko Atlantic. The eko mall will be about twice the size of the Kenyan mall. I do admit though retail growth was a bit shaky during the 2yr recession(as to be expected) but things are looking positive again Private secondary schools in Nigeria: Atlantic Hall: Lekki British international school Chrisland highschool 1 Like |

rvp20182: Most middle class Nigerians take their children to private schools(which are alot) because of the failure of public schools. They also go to private clinics where they may receive better service. Several middle class families vacation in the U.S.,London and Dubai where they also shop in formal spaces(because of the apparent lack of formal spaces in Nigeria as you mentioned). These facts are well known in Nigeria.. Nothing new 2 Likes |

rvp20182: On this, your logic baffles me... I wonder how war-zone Nigeria produced the richest black man in the world In Colombia malls are more common than in Argentina but the latter is richer and more developed. The UK has more malls than France or Germany but they are similarly developed... go figure I don't understand how a person with middle class income is not classified as middle class just because his government(because of corruption) has refused to provide constant electricity for its citizens... Moreover this middle class person because of his income can afford to buy generators to provide for the deficiency. It's just like saying a rich man isn't rich because his government doesn't provide 24/7 electricity... 2 Likes 1 Share |

TayserMahiri: As said earlier, Northern Nigeria is the one that's largely illiterate, they're also the poorest The graph below shows states of Nigeria... The Northern states are the ones with low literacy which is dragging the whole Nigeria down. Southern Nigeria has average literacy rate of 80-90% Just look at a state with a low litercy level, and it's certain it's a northern state.. Why do you think the igbos(part of Southern Nigeria) want secession(there was even a civil war). Many have clamored for the separation of Northern and Southern Nigeria. Heck when Gadaffi visited Nigeria, He advised Nigeria to split along those lines. Poverty is very rife in Northern Nigeria with some states at 90% poverty level. Ultimately Nigeria will need Northern Nigeria to radically reduce their poverty and illiteracy levels as Nigeria plays a defining role on the continent and perhaps on the world stage in the next half of this century... I'm very optimistic about Nigeria. If Nigeria can stick together and not separate plus if Nigeria improves its health, education, and infrastructure as well as industrializes, 30 years from now Nigeria will be a different place and will dominate Africa as it's destined to do. Kenya will be a regional power for some time and perhaps might rival South Africa as well as the upcoming Ethiopia in the future. |

68816419: guy there may be few(very few) outliers but a look a the general picture would make one cry. The North as a whole is generally poorer than the South, no questions. I mean where does polio(a disease that's been wiped out in most parts of the world) exist in Nigeria? BTW Katsina has a very, very low literacy rate... Even Kaduna and Kano have higher poverty levels than much of Southern Nigeria... even comapred to Abia and Ebonyi [img]C:\Users\18326\Downloads\png_download50451.png[/img] |

Nigeria has to start spending alot in the North. It's a shame that a country like Nigeria has a literacy rate of around 56%(wherein Nigerians are among the most educated in the U.S.), age expectancy of 55, and still has polio... Nigeria also has to some how force the northerners to stop practicing backward practices such as underage marriage, and even almajirism. Chai! Nigeria has a long way to go 1 Like 1 Share |
