Those negative figures from what I can see are only measuring the budget deficit. It has no reflection on the actual monetary size of the budget. Also, while I can see the sense in the question of measuring the dollar value of Kenya's currency and Nigeria's, I'd still say its application here is low. We're not comparing Nigeria to Norway here where the price of a beer might be almost 10 times higher than in Nigeria. It's Nigeria and Kenya: two African 3rd world nations. Many things are costlier in Nigeria than Kenya. Many analysts have pointed out Nigeria's road construction industry is one mega scam. Our costs per km of road are some of the highest in the world. The same applies to bridges, tunnels, flyovers etc. Just read the absurd figures that were quoted for Fashola's Ikoyi link bridge, Kwankwaso's Kano flyover and compare the cost of the rail project in Lagos with countries like Tanzania, Ethiopia and even Kenya. Nigeria has some of the highest cement prices in the world. So there's no fair metric to objectively measure what Kenya's budget can do compared to Nigeria's.

As I pointed out earlier, several analysts of our budgets have pointed out how abysmally low it is and how it can accomplish next to nothing. At a minimum, every country should be looking at at least 10% of its GDP as budget. Many countries are higher as 20% like Kenya. The US runs a $4 trillion budget from a GDP just over £18 trillion. We can't even hit 5%.

Some of you at least understand the essentials!

Kenya’s Tax-to-GDP ratio currently stands at 19.3 percent, which is the 2nd highest in non-oil economies within Africa, and the highest within the EAC where the average stands at 14.8 percent.

The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, has lamented that with a tax to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio of six per cent, the country is rated one of the lowest in the world.

It's a shame that one person in here gets away with repeatedly calling others "NIGGER", and everyone acts like that's normal. Whether he is African or not such behavior should not be acceptable, truly shameful.

Majority of Nigerian businesses are not listed in the stock exchange. This has always been a well known fact.

So are majority of businesses in any other country. LAWD, why are you Nigerians so closed up? Normal things elsewhere make you feel so special.

Maybe during the recession from early 2015, but it's not surprising if the tax to GDP is the lowest in Africa. There's no way the statistics can be cooked to fool everyone, it only stems from your own delusional comparison of Kenya to Nigeria.
Kenya is way too small, and even from a long time ago in the nineties, Nigeria was already way above 150 Billion dollars, and of course you would expect this for a population her size, and of course with the large informal sector, some posit the nominal GDP is even much higher than 500Billion dollars.
Note that our GDP is no longer 594 Billion dollars but now around 405 Billion dollars.

Even at 405 B it makes no sense. 20B is a mere 5% of 405. No way a country with 405B GDP can fail to finance a 20B budget.
You sound a little intelligent. Stop being like Obagay-ass

PS......

All countries have an informal sector that's unaccounted for......Especially third world countries. Another case of viewing yourself as unique over normal things.

Many insults are traded here. It is hypocritical to focus on one person and their single insult in your condemnation.

Does he sound like a sane person to you.Even the kenyans ignore him except for a couple of them who are really crazy and desperate like.Do you see any sane kenyan quoting him.The guy is black but hates his black skin so much he blames other blacks.He worships whites.

Nigeria's budget as % of GDP is low even compared to some African countries but like someone has explained before;Nigeria's has 36 states and each of these 36 federating units has its own budget.Lagos for example has a budget of 800bn naira(2017)That's over $2bn.And all 36 states have theirs.I don't know how it is done in kenya.Many businesses and individuals are not taxed in Nigeria and it affects government revenue.

it means there is no monopoly,there are other smart taxi cabs in Nigeria.
Even taxi cab operators are going against it.
The UK is not also liking it.

Dude, in Kenya there are smart taxi apps for individual towns. This Nyota Rides smart App is for Eldoret City.
