[size=13pt]Please let us get it clear.
It is ignorance powered by folly that causes them to talk down on other Africans.

It is only the unfortunately successful marriage between ignorance and folly that
supplies the confidence to Nigerian youth to brimmingly spew ignorance outside while they doggedly cling on to every ideological position that keeps them inferior in today's modern day world.

Reminds me what Piers Morgan said of Amorosa on the 1st episode of the celebrity apprentice: "Her ego writes cheques her personality cannot cash".[/size]

If only our youths realise

Nigeria is a big for nothing country. A very useless country where nothing works.

God punish our leaders!!

If you call that show of shame a country pride then I leave you to your ways.

Hmmm, well this is a national problem not sectional, though the south need lots of Orientation.

barcanista ur write up is 200% correct
kenyan national carrier is the best that Africa has got, but the so called "african giants" don't have a carrier
kenya has stringent laws governing the employment of 'expats', in the airlines same can't be said for Nigeria. where if a white man doesn't govern our affairs everything seems to come crashing

This is about Nigerian being below kenya in all indices, take your childish rants to appropriate threat and get the usual flogging over there

TonyeBarcanista:
I am saddened by the continuous act of some of my compatriots to always engage in social media fight with fellow Africans, most notably our brothers and sisters from Ghana and Kenya.

It is even unfortunate that these countries Nigeria youths love to abuse on social media are doing better than our potentially great country in virtually all sphere despite the fact that we(as a country) have more revenues, potentials, and opportunities. If Nigerians are not aware of the superiority(in terms of living) of other Africans over us, I will have to educate them using Kenya as a case study.

While Nigerians have always pride in the self titled "African Giant" rhetoric, facts on ground shows otherwise. Though we generate more revenue than Kenya, which is 70% due to the gift of nature under our soil(Petrodollars), Nigerians still lag behind greatly in basic things when compared to the East African giant.

According to 2015 data from World Health Organisation, Nigeria's male and female life expectancy are 52years and 56 years respectively, meaning an average Nigerian is expected to die before he/she turns 60. Meanwhile, the expectancy for Kenyan male and female are 61 and 66 years respectively. Similarly, while Nigeria has the 10th highest infant mortality rate worldwide with average 72 deaths per 1,000 birth, Kenya's infant mortality rate is rated 52nd in the world with average 32 deaths per 1,000 births. This means it is safer to give birth in Kenya than in Nigeria, and an average Kenyan living in Kenya is expected to live longer than an average Nigerian living in Nigeria.

Though Nigeria has more tourism potential than Kenya, but Kenya is one of the choice destination for vacation in West Africa. While Nigeria managed to rake in $601 million as Tourism receipt(Revenue) in 2014, Kenya raked in $1.833 billion in the same year. Nigeria can't even boast of a National carrier meanwhile Kenya Airways, the National Carrier of Kenya boasts of 45 Aircrafts in their fleet with 4,000 workforce strength. In addition, Kenya Airways is reputed to be one of the best in Africa.

In Africa, Kenya is the leader of Mobile money. Nigeria is still still battling to get it right in the ICT sector with poor infrastructure, lack of power, lack of political will, and fantastically corruption.

At present Nigeria is experiencing recession in her economy, one would expect Nigerians to shun frivolties and seek for ways to turn the recession to prosperity instead of wasting productive hours fighting our African brethren over irrelevances. Why would one who is rationing his/her phone battery life due to epileptic power supply still spend the little battery life s/he got through his/her generator to abuse someone in Nairobi who is neither rationing his/her phone battery life nor is depending on generating set for power? There is no trophy or reward for social media fight, Nigerians should stop sending the wrong image to the world that our greatness lies in social media wars.


Nigeria is a great country with potentials, filled with great prospects, but we can never be great if we don't channel our time and resources to fix our country.

A word should be enough for the wise... May God Bless Us All, and Bless Nigeria

Ok oo.
Continue dishing out the "facts"

A massively disappointing piece! Anyway, the United Kingdom is not close to the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway when it comes to their standards of living. .But this notwithstanding, inside those three countries, people have a lot of respect for London. Reason? Just one reason, and it`s one reason alone: the role that United Kingdom played in Europe to end the Second World War. Brits rubbish the rest of Europe a lot, but it hasn`t stopped the rest of Europe from respecting London. Therefore, it`s very naive to see human development index as the most important basis for measuring a nation`s importance.

Moreover, these arrogant and hating Nigerians, how many Africans have they lynched inside their country, and what price have African countries paid in order to solve our numerous problems inside Nigeria? Honestly, time for me to log off!

your title says "in all aspects" you listed only health and tourism.

As for the ICT, note that MOBILE MONEY is not a same as ICT. Nigeria is far ahead of Kenya in MOBILE BANKING as against MOBILE MONEY.

MOBILE MONEY thrives in kenya due to the absence of Commercial Banking infrastructure and integration of ePayment channels (MOBILE BANKING, ATM, POS, ONLINE PAYMENT GATEWAYS). These however is in advanced stages in Nigeria..

Nigeria is ahead of Kenya as a technology hub

vivalavida:
I don't blame the Kenyans and the Ghanaians for constantly taking potshots at this shitty country called Nigeria. At best they are a country with one or two major tribes that are related in one way or the other and separated by few languages. But this hellhole shouldn't be referred to as a country at all. We are too diverse to be one. That is why when one section gets the presidency, the other sections try to undermine it. In so doing, the economy of the country is hurt.
So Biko I don't blame them. Nigeria as large as it is is useless to mankind

I don't think thats the problem. Kenya is just as diverse--- if not more diverse--- than you are . The truth is that you're just typical Africans; wicked and unruly. The ethnic problems you face in Nigeria is just as bad in Kenya.

I guess its just African to be wicked and blame it on tribe and religion.

TonyeBarcanista I don't get you, why take an e-war so personal? Who does that!? I'd suggest you take a chill pill and go take a look at the tweets again maybe this time you'll realize that there was pun intended from the onset.

Abeg leave story joor....to me the two countries no na same level thou Nigeria used to be boss but not anymore..

Kogi state alone in Nigeria has over 40 ethnic groups. Nigeria has over 300 ethnic groups... so Kenya is not more diverse than Nigeria. Nigeria is one of the most diverse country with respect to ethnic groups


You cannot paint all africans with a wicked and unruly brush just because you are over compensating your pea sized brain with a huge ego.

Every race has its share of idiots and devils, our major problems is that we have let ourselves be bullied by our few idiots who have held on to power in the last half century here.

For someone who claims to be American, you sound too pained by Nigerians or Nigeria. You spend half of your miserable life on nairaland (a nigerian site) making snide remarks on matters your dumb brain cannot phantom regurgitating crammed talking points. Don't worry by November a known criminal and terrorism sympathiser will become your president then you will know what exactly it means to be bullied into submission. Nigerias problems are unique and many no doubt but one thing we know for certain is that the meddling of your compatriots has always exercabated it so stay away
