You are so foolish and childish.
How can you compare abuja to Accra?
Hahahahaha
Your foolishness is hereditary.

There's nowhere in nigeria better than Accra so shut up there and stop posting those pics.

BTWN....abuja and lagos are the smallest states in nigeria.
Why don't you show us the remaining bigger and populated 34 States?

This clearly shows how useless and underdeveloped nigeria is.

You don't even have common electricity yet you want to compare that zoo to Ghana.

Dark ugly bokoharam terrorist

All the top 3 biggest and advanced shopping malls in west afria are in Ghana

All the biggest hospitals in west africa are in Ghana.

We even have more schools than you yet your population is about 6 times that of GH.

All the better schools,roads in west Africa are in Ghana.

What do you fools have in that zoo?

Lagos is not only the biggest city in Nigeria but also in Africa at about 25 million people... Lagos alone has a bigger GDP than Ghana...
The Lagos business school was rated the 48th best in the world by The Economist..
Abuja is more developed and better planned than Accra... Accra has its beauty though
Also remember Abuja is relatively new city
Abuja is also among the more populated cities in Nigeria..

So as at now every east african country has a national carrier in contrast to west africa where no country has a national carrier. All good we have a big market in west africa. Tanzania launched their first aircraft the other day and Uganda is busy trying to revive their airline. Tanzanians though, were rather embarrassing launching one craft with a whole delegation of govt boarding just to sit down.
Kenya and Ethiopia are the leaders. Rwanda is well on course.
So who is this witch who jinxed west africa that they can never carry themselves? At least if you cant start an airline start shipline (not for migrants). West Africa is (in matters aviation) known for gruesome accidents.

Nigeria is starting its airline at the end of july this yr..

i heard someone died in the process of making the helicopter... supposedly the army has been researching and working on a prototype for years and they've just released the first.

Is there any other African country developing helicopters?

Are the Indians in Kenya foreigners or Kenyan citizens ?

There r Kenyan citizens right same as those of indians who have Nigerian citizenship.

And what do u mean by dominate ?

A Kenyan citizen doing good is good for Kenya , same as a Nigerian doing good in Nigeria. Why should the ethnicity matter ?

Today if u discriminate on the basis of ethnicity tomorrow u will discriminate among ur selves on the bases of tribal lines , linguistics , religion etc from ur own indigenous peoples.

America was made so successful by mostly people from all over the world , they had the same rights and they proudly contributed to the development of America to what she is today.

And u guys wonder why African countries r not where they should bein terms of development.




Nigeria has a bigger manufacturing industry than Kenya yet it is black dominated... unlike Kenya

If u good in Google kung fu u can do better than me .








diamond bank simply divested... They sold that asset as well as the other assets they had in other African countries and are now trying to focus on their primary market Nigeria...
As to Indians owning 75% of MTN Nigeria... I highly doubt that , I need data not some [b]confusing[/b]opinion from a minister...
Secondly is MTN Nigeria listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange as of 2016... NO

I also found this report claiming that MTN(a south african company) holds a 78.8 percent stake in the Nigeria unit (MTN Nigeria) with another South African company owning an additional minority share..

How inspiring is Centenary City when you check it out?

Have you seen the vids and pics of Centenary City
It plans to have one of the tallest buildngs in Africa.. at 70 something floors...
One of the largest malls in Africa...
Cable cars
retail centers next to rivers
luxury housing
huge amusement park
The city was based on cities like Singapore and Dubai

No offense but it's wayyyy better than

this kind of statement is self defeating.

Business is business nothing to do with nationality or jingoism but purely based on business needs atleast for those who do business.

Anyways back home

Recently a UK based indian company took control of nigerian diamond bank plc ( the UK based subsidiary )

Also MTN Nigeria is now firmly in control of indian shareholders who control 75% of it.

U see any person to his hearts content can dance around these businesses deals , but then the fact remains that that's all he or she can do. While trans national business will be go on as usual in the age of globalisation .

As for forcing out Kenyan citizens out of their own country , I wish u luck .

Tech is not about big market.It actually counter intuitive.The more nimble the faster you can move there.Nigeria will not go far without investing in tech.You guys are where kenya was 8yrs ago...we are busy trying to build new tech city..not hubs..we are building fiber network all over...we are digitally training all kids from class 1...etc etc

Investors are more willing to bring in capital because of the bigger market... Nigeria does need to invest in fiber optic though

You skipped this....Nigeria is now at 2007-2010 - when Kenya is already a matured ICT Hub - our broandband speeds beat US & even Isreal - and we are building techno city.While you're busy at first stage - of building hubs....we are building an entire city for technology companies - and clearly Kenya's Silicon Savannah will be answer to Silicon Valley of San Francisco. Not Nigeria's Yaba valley grin grin

The rise of Silicon Savannah...

Most discussions of the origins of Africa’s tech movement circle back to Kenya, which laid down four markers between 2007 and 2010 to inspire the country’s Silicon Savannah moniker: mobile money, a globally recognized crowdsourcing app, Africa’s tech incubator model, and a genuine government commitment to ICT policy.


I strongly believe Nigeria's tech scene will overshadow Kenya's simply because Nigeria is a much bigger market
1) Exhibit 1 - Gov commitment to ICT Policy


2) Tecno City coming along - 5,000 ha city

Both TZ & Ethiopia - despite being nearly twice kenya in size and pop - cannot catch Kenya anytime soon - both are hobbled by marxist/communist tendencies like Nigeria is - TZ nominal GDP (USD) is nearly half that of Kenya - Ethiopia had "reach" kenya - before they devauled by 15% - the real market rate of birr to usd is still higher by 35% (so their GDP will further shrink by 35%).

TZ & Ethiopia - are more like rapidly improving Nigerians. Their fundamentals are just weak. I don't see them ever catching up with Kenya - an open,democratic,liberalized, progressive,modern & well-diversified economy.


You don't have to be democratic to succeed... Look at China... I predict Ethiopia will be the next China... Ethiopia will grow and overpass Kenya's economy rapidly and may become more industrialized

How can Adis do that when they worse than Nigeria in banking and finance. They do not allow private banks. They have even stricter control of forexs. They do not even have stock exchange - while Nairobi securities is already ahead of curve with many companies cross-listing here - complete with liquid debt market - nearly all major banks of the world have representative office or branch here - you can buy dollars or euros or any currency anywhere - chinese yuan have clearing house in Nairobi - KSHS is very stable --and you can move money in & out without any hassle - I can go on and on. Nairobi is already HQ of many companies with operation in Africa - so they will be sending money to Nairobi for onward transmission. UN alone has nearly 500-1B dollars worth of transaction annually. Globally we are now known for innovative mobile banking - m-pesa - and

Our competition is South Africa and Mauritus. Not Lagos. Leave alone poor Adis.


Again as I said back up your statement concerning Nairobi being a financial center outside SA... stats, data??
Yes, Nairobi is known for attracting multinationals.. i don't doubt that

Tanzanians dominate the entertainment industry of East Africa.

8B dollars importing refined Oil - is reason why Nigeria to me will remain forever hopeless. If you cannot refine oil that god has given you - then country is cursed. Cursed with pathetic leadership.

Dangote is building the largest single-line refinery in the world(It'll be ready next yr)... more than the the current consumption of fuel in the country... so he's exporting too, maybe to Kenya.. Good thing about the Dangote refinery is that it's a private project, not a government project

Nigeria does have refineries to exceed current consumption but corruption and vested interests led to the decay of them and for some reason they can't undergo renewal...
Same reason Nigeria doesn't produce enough electricity... The second to last government supposedly spent $16 billion on electricity... We've seen little improvement since then..

Corruption is the cancer of a nation

Just share you figures. You consume around 18M tonnes per year for nearly 4 times our population(198M). We consume around 6M with 48M folks. Basic maths - you need to consume around 24M metric tonnes to catch kenya per capita

As for Lagos - it's pretty much irrelevant -coz you sit in francophone region - so Ibandan most likely has more kick than Lagos.

Nairobi is definitely the HQ of many multinationals in Africa, regional HQs of many embassies, the only UN HQ in developing world, the financial center of SSA outside South Africa, the regional Airport hub (with Joburg & Adis Ababa), etc.

That thread at SkyeScraperCity that rans 42 pages - has list of companies that have chosen Nairobi to be their regional if global HQ (like Oxfam recently did - moving their international HQ to Nairobi from London).

Officially Nigeria (Dangote) claims to export cement. And here they are importing cement.
A country can still import a product and still be an exporter... Perhaps the cement Nigeria imports are not the type Dangote produces... Nigeria is the largest producer of cement in Africa by far.. and it's cement capacity is currently enough for demand

Lies and insults are not substitute of facts and sound argument. We have higher cement consumption per capita (around >150 kilos) than Nigeria somewhere around (130). Kenya is also not a small irrelevant country - whatever that means - but are certainly the biggest dog in regionally - with Nairobi the most important city outside JoBurg in Sub-Saharan Africa.
