i bought a loaf of bread for 280 naira last year. Today, and even with the sick Naira, i still buy it at the same rate. Its a good thing how you cherry picked just one commodity to use as an example here as if there are no other commodity who's price has shot up in Kenya in the last one year.

receive sense in Jesus name Amen.

I will learn more about nigerian languages when the time goes on, I only saw two languages on google translation ( yoruba and igbo), the rest I will learn here on nairaland. I can't comment more about this two countries, because I only know more about my country south africa, what I know about nigeria from the media is high population, poor infrastructural maintenance, oil, number one in africa, lastly the Giant thing, that is all I know from the media. On Kenya; Masai tribe, wild life, Nairobi small but beautiful and clean, compare to big lagos but unattractive because of very poor infrastructural maintenance, that is all I see from nairaland and other media. For tourism, I go for kenya; for deep african culture, I go for nigeria.

actually, there are three Nigerian languages there on google translate. They should have been four if the pidgin english was standardized. This is making a statement of cultural power. The languages are: Hausa (which is the largest of the three languages and has an imperialistic aura around it), Yoruba (which is the second largest), and lastly, Igbo (which is very famous due to its huge presence in Nollywood and the fact that most Nigerians you come across in other parts of Africa are Igbo).

Al the major world media have Hausa service. There is a swahili service too but swahili is not just for Kenya, but for the whole of the east african region.

Nigeria is the only country to have its cultural content in all of its major languages on satellite tv. There is a Hausa nolly, Yoruba nolly, and i am hearing of the talks of having an Igbo nolly too but if that doesn't come, then its ok for the usual English nollywood already has Igbo scattered all over its face.

Alot of you in other parts of Africa like to think that Nigerians, despite their huge oil wealth, cannot stay in their country because its a terrible place. Anyway, it is important for you to know that the Nigerians you find in your countries are mainly Igbo. It is the Igbo man's way to explore. If he leaves his land for another, then its not because his land is terrible, but because hehas a deep sitting tendency to epand his life. In Nigeria, we have a saying that if you go to a village anywhere in the world and you do not find an igbo man, then you should run away from there; it is not inhabitable! I bet all the guys here, Pavore9 eta al, are Igbo (and i can see them smile already).

If not for the Igbo, Nigerians won't have the reputation of been found in just about any corner of the world.

Also, the Igbo provide their own employment where ever they are. This is why they don't stuggle with you guys to get a paid employment in your country.

Lastly, Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria. It is only 3200km square. Of that size, the lagoon and other water bodies take approximately 40percent of its area. Lagos is bigger than Nairobi only in terms of population and not land area.

AfroCircus:

This is one funny chest thumping friend. With more than a third of your land being arable , you still pride yourself for producing more agriculture in aggregate terms than a largely arid (93%), 4 times less populated country half Nigeria's size in area. If only Nigeria achieved Kenya's productivity level, agricultural output would be at 300bn, more than the current total gdp! Yet Kenya is just a meer developing nation, what of the netherlands' or Taiwan's productivity level? The potential we are sitting on is such that priding oneself of such meager achievements is almost a joke.

And agriculture isn't the biggest thing Kenya could lay its hands on, tourism is to them what oil is to Nigeria, a cash cow. And trust me, that sector is quite advanced for a developing nation. The transportation sector such as tour travels and Airlines (Kenya airways), accommodation sector, communication sector, retail and other tour associated sectors are quite developed.

according to this link Agriculture makes up 24percent their total GDP while services, which also include tourism, is only 14 percent.

my point in that post you quoted still stands. I am not saying Nigeria has peaked its agric potentials. What i am saying is we do not need to peak it to still make a point. Israel, which is called the start-up country, has a more develop tech industry per capita than the US, should the US then be worried? By no mean! The tech industry in the US still trumps that of Israel by far! That's exactly what i'm talking about.

def111:


you just dey copy and paste here, write something you know from your head.... since morning I never see light for my area,... how many times person go tell una say Kenya better pass 9jA.. argument do too much, this thread go soon enter page 9 and 10, I have been to Kenya and see with my eyes, good night

going with your logic, Europe is better than America because Europe has a better public trasnport system than the US?

Not like Nigeria is in total darkness because we officially produce 4000mw of electricity. Go to our banks, factories, etc, and there is no power outage for one second. You may say that adds to the cost of production but those companies are still making profit year in year out.

If i write a thing from my head, you will say i have nothing to back it up. Now that i am backing it up, you say that doesn't count.

laudate:


Chai! May the good Lord deliver you from this myopia. Go and visit those African countries that have been mentioned & live there for a few months, before you come back online to start your moonlight tales. Using the rebasing of the economy as an excuse to justify your so-called superiority over other African nations which have better infrastructure, better life expectancy, better standard of living etc., is nothing but a joke! Drop this delusion that Nigeria is the giant of Africa. Receive sense, in Jesus name!

i already have sense so anyother one would be Jara.

I do not like claiming this superiority thing. I am doing so now because my country is being dragged in the mud by those people who have little knowledge of it. The right thing to do here is to start a kind of pride-march. When black people's image was battered around the world, we need a 'black-power' to help us hold our heads abouve water. When gay people were being killed every where and the people felt shame for themselves, they needed a gay pride march to help themselves. I hope you get it now?

Wikipedia is always behind in updated stats. That's the 2007 figure, 9 years ago! And agriculture was 25% due to their drought back then. 14% is manufacturing, not services because from that very same site, hotel and accommodation was at 13.8%, transportation and communication at 6.9% and other services (tourism, retail etc) at 25%. That is 46% of the gdp in services that are interwoven with tourism which is more or less the same percentage now. So my statements stand.

Then the israeli - US comparison is too Grand contrasting it with the Kenyan-Nigerian one. Given that Nigeria's gdp is about 4 times larger than Kenya's, make an analysis between American and Japanese tech productivity per capita and you'll realize that there's need to worry. US is a little over 4 times Japan's economy (same ratio as naija-ken) and Toshiba's improvements are a nightmare to Hp.

Nairobi's only 696km squared and 25% of that is a park so Lagos is far much larger in area too.

And it's true, most Nigerian foreigners are igbo. I even used to think it's the largest group. In cultural terms, Nigeria is a big influence to many countries. Infact if you ask an American here to imitate an African, it'll be pidgin English and Nigerian attire they'll do. But you got to give it up to how East Africans have made such a big grandeur of swahili to even enable none swahili countries such as Uganda, Rwanda to adopt and embrace it. Though naija culture is still more pronounced, no doubt about that

why don't you compare Toshiba to Apple? That would be a bit more appropriate.

Ever seen a Toshiba phone on any sales chats? That's why hp looks more appropriate. I'd name Samsung where apple is concerned and that's one stiff competition there, but then, Samsung ain't Japanese.

You said l cherry picked!

Ok let us go.....I bought a kilo of rice in 2013 for 90ksh and l bought the same quantity few days ago for 95ksh. I know how much my folks back home are now buying rice.

The cabbage l used to buy way back in 2013 for N300 at Ojota market(which is not far from Mile 12 market where most of farm produce from the North end up in Lagos) is what l presently buy for 40ksh in open markets here in Nairobi. With the increase of price of petrol between then and now, l doubt if l can still get that size for N300 because Nigerian businesses are good at linking their prices to increase in fuel price.

Going by the present exchange rate, Kenyans are paying about N360 per litre for petrol but the irony is that bus fares are cheaper in Kenya than in Nigeria not to talk of domestic flights as one can do 45mins for $30 while a 60mins flight cost $40 which is like from Lagos to Enugu but the cheapest booking l got from Arik Airline for that route on Wednesday was N26,745!

We have been paying the same rent for the past 4 years (rents are paid monthly) and last year the Kenya Power cut down the tariffs to give users especially low consumers of electricity lower power bills. We both know what is on board in Nigeria!

Shebi on the Front page, Fashola is saying Nigerians are not supposed to be paying for transformers and other stuffs related to power supply, lf l had posted that we have been made to contribute money for a new transformer for my neighbourhood some years back, you will argue that am lying!

Most people who have not lived outside Nigeria will never get it.

Most Nigerians cannot imagine a year of constant power supply and do not know what it means to get tap water from the government. We build our own boreholes.

Can you create a thread for Nigerians who want to migrate to Kenya?

I swear naija don tire me. The noise from my gen is driving me crazy

Eyah! A reflection of your limited knowledge! Even their sense of conservation is earning them billions annually as against us that see every animal as pepper soup candidate.

Google kenya beach resort and see that their coastline has many international beach resorts such as in Diani, Malindi, Lamu etc overlooking the blue Indian ocean where many Nigerian newly weds do go for their honeymoon!
