They should focus on first getting some domestic airline. You know JamboJet allows one to fly to any destination in kenya for 30dollars or less[b]. Flying from Lagos to Abuja will cost you 10 times that. [/b]And JamboJet 3yrs later has flow 2M passengers. And now you can fly to Uganda for 110-150 dollars! As for next few months - they are offering 22 dollar flights to anyway in kenya and 77 dollars to Entebbe, Uganda.

HTF does that happen!? Naijjans?

Nigeria with their measly U$36B (everything included) budget cannot dream of doing that. Kenya welfare is at it infancy but Nigeria are yet to even start. Next big time is the Universal Health Insurance - already I think about 9M household are covered - about 2m plus in formal sector and another from informal sector - now the race is to cover everyone - Uhuru recently announced all high schools kids will be covered.

Thank you for this extremely significant factoid! How many countries at our level even attempted such a social undertaking? Tbh if Naijjans weren't such haters they'd bow down with R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

Kenyan e-warroirs representing their country are always masturbating over Nigerias issues.They can never do without comparing their country with our own or even Lagos that its Economy is almost bigger than the whole of East Africa.

What else do you want,you have really tried in marketing Kenya as if it were from Europe. The fact remains clear to those that know.

Scrabble is not a sport and neither is chess or poker. You can have it though, the desperation has reached comical levels. Talk about I G N O R A N C E!

In terms of sports - I think kenya perform better than Nigeria in - Althetics, Rugby, Cricket, Volleyball,Swimming,Motor sports, Shooting/Archery, Golf,Cycling...etc

Kenya conquers the world - where Nigeria would be happy to be African champions

Chris Froome - was born and brought up in kenya - and raced for kenya before deciding to race for Britain.


Jason Dunford - reached finals at Olympics, World Championships and Short Course World Championships. He also held African, Universiade and Olympic records.

Julius Yego - Javelin Olympic record holder who throw 92m

Kenya Rugby 7s is undoubtedly one of best team in the world.

Kenya cricket - reached world semi-finals against the likes of India & Pakistani

Kenya volleyball - women has been Africa best team for long time and has played in world cup

WRC - Safari rally - for a long time was held in Kenya but there still a vibrant motor sport in Kenya


Golf - Kenya open - European-based Challenge Tour event - with price money of 100K USD- and has been won by some top world golfers

Kenya shooting and archery - compete in world events

$30 by current Nigerian exchange is over N10,800. Average Economy class ticket from Abuja to Lagos is about N25,000. So. I'm not sure where you got your 10 times figure from. And a quick perusal of Jambojet's website indicates a one-way flight between Nairobi and Mombasa which is a shorter distance goes for between $62 to $91 except you book over 2 weeks in advance where it drops to about $42, and below $30 if you book like 3 weeks in advance: https://booking.jambojet.com/Search.aspx Basically, your cheap Jambojet costs as much or more than the average flight here in Nigeria if you're booking within 2 weeks of the flight. But regardless of which is more expensive, we're certainly not paying 10 times more for flights.

Lol, I've told this people that their unnecessary currency conversion is d beginning of their headache.

Commodities in Nigeria is far cheaper than Kenya! But they're quick to convert without factoring purchasing power parity.

Just did a quick google search of cheapest prices from Abuja to Lagos and the top results was 300 dollars - yeah I have seen AirArik does have some great offers - about 45-50 dollars one way - that is not as bad as I thought. I hope AirArik is not some rickety airline though. There are airlines in Kenya that carry khat to Somali - and let hope AirArik is not those ones.

Then the Google search yielded wrong results. It's that simple. Check the websites of the local operators like Dana, Arik, Medview, Air Peace, Aerocontractors etc.

Everytime u're beaten to pulp like "adire", u resort to ur usual I google this, I google that. without proper education to assimilate ur findings. Well, it confirms that ur IQ is Google-powered, n d moment u switch ur tab away from Google, u become our "renowned-vacuous-person of 2017", ur still holding d title.

What's even ur obsession with Nigeria to d point of wasting ur irredeemable resources (time)googling whatever u lost. Ever since u started roaming this thread, have u seen a Nigerian search anything about Kenya?

Bla bla bla -- I am not wasting time - but just helping you realize you're NOTHING in Africa leave alone the world. Nigeria is only a giant in fake GDP. That is all.

Only 44 aircrafts in the entire Nairaland as of 2017!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - nothing like dreamliner of course - in Nigeria - and their stats office will claim - airline contribute 10B dollars to their GDP

President of Aviation Roundtable (ART), an industry think-tank group, said Nigeria has eight domestic carriers - Arik Air, Aero Contractors, Air Peace, Med-View, Dana Air, Overland, Azman Air and First Nation. All the carriers put together have 44 aircraft with valid insurance cover.
He said, “Air Peace has 13; Arik 10; Overland seven; Dana, five; Azman, four; Med-View, four and First Nation one. That’s a total of 44 and I said to myself, 44 aircraft for all the operators in Nigeria, that is less than one airline. Can they become one airline with 44 airplanes without losing their identity? My answer is yes.”
After over 50 years of airline operations in Nigeria, over 150 airlines have gone into extinction and the few ones in operation are on the verge of extinction. Meanwhile other African countries, which are far behind Nigeria in terms of aviation development, have evolved and continued to do better in terms of running a profitable aviation industry.
For instance, checks by our correspondent show that South African Airways has 54 aircraft; Kenya Airways has 36, Rwand Air 12 and Ethiopia adjudged the number one in Africa has 92 aircraft. Legacy airlines like the British Airways, Delta Airlines, Emirates and other European carriers have more than 200 aircraft each in their fleet.
