NairobiWalker:


Thank you for not continuing with your PPP bullshit. I see you've learnt now.

Manufacturing per capita is simply the value of manufacturing in a country divided by the total population.

BTW, please desist making those boastful manufacturing comments you've been making here. Your manufacturing is useless - just like Kenya's. Sit down and be humble. Real manufacturing giants are laughing at you now.

Jay254:
Do you think this is something to be proud off?? Where the brightest people in your country are building already developed Nations.

It's really sad

Nigeria still lead Africa in diasporan remittance, still one of the leader in FDI, far beyond what Kenyans can comprehend.

theenchanter:
it's easy to spot a die hard twit!! I can as well go there n check where Nigeria beats u hands down without any Ray of hope.

U only lead in d second n third cos Nigeria just exited recession n finding its feet, as u can see the GDP growth rate. U only beat Nigeria in internet speed hands down.

Atleast u can't tell me nonsense about manufacturing again, as u now learn something new, I'm grateful for that.

NairobiWalker:


So you're asking him to stop posting photos of Angola yet you're posting a photo of Singapore and claiming it's Lagos? lol..............you guys are so desperate. At least he didn't lie. What kind of idiot would believe Lagos can look anything like that anyway. Seems we're arguing with villagers who've never stepped in Lagos here.

Our education's budget is 4 billion plus US dollars. Nigeria's education budget stands at a meager 1.6 billion US dollars.

This is so embarrassing for Nigeria!

rvp2018:
Kenya is second largest source of Remittance to many countries in East Africa after US. FDI or size of diaspora is nothing to celebrate. I am pretty sure we are now one source of REMITTANCE to your poor country. Nigerians in Kenya are busy sending your money.

We are of course the major source of FDI to East Africa countries.

We know your slum cities. I know youre brought up in a society that has no scrupples or integrity - but please don't try pass pictures of LAGOS (PORTUGAL) - for your mega slum city (LAGOS Nigeria).

A Kenyan wanna teach a Nigerian economics.... . u're done for.

Perhaps, u mean manufacturing value added which does not even correlates with ur meaning, the guy said divided by total population. what are they dividing, bro

That's d meaning of MVA.

Growth of 0.8% is NOT what anyone calls "Recovery"
As for Manufacturing. Nigeria has a large Manufacturing base.
A large Substandard base that is. We have not all forgotten the reason why Nigeria's industries cannot compete with the likes of Rwanda undert the CFTA.
The fact that both Kenya and Nigeria are in AGOA and Nigeria is actually closer to the US, yet Kenya is the second largest exporter of textiles to the US after Lesotho has not been lost on us. Nigeria's one and only export under AGOA; Oil.
SMH.
I can point out Made in Kenya items, especially Agro-products abroad. One can also point out products mad by foreign firms but carry a Made in Kenya logo across the COMESA-EAC-SADC region.
No Kenyan has ever seen a Made in Nigeria manufactured product and if they ever came, they would never sell because all of your manufacturing scandals from plastic rice, to plastic bottles that leak benzene into the drinks that they hold, make it here. Your poor reputation perceeds you given Nigerians make headlines every week in Kenya these days.

NairobiWalker:


You're going into too much unnecessary BS bro. For someone who doesn't even understand what PPP is no matter how many links you post here your knowledge on economics remains questionable. Thing is, you guys have been bragging too much about manufacturing only to realize your manufacturing is worth a mere $4 billion a year which is pathetic especially for a country whose population is approaching 200 million. See - SA's manufacturing is worth $30 billion and there just a fraction of you guys in population yet they don't spend time boasting how they're manufacturing giants. You've embarrassed yourself bigtime.

Nigerians are desperately crossing the Mediterranean and dying by the thousands and being sold to sexual slavery and here they are boasting about being 'giants'.
Dear Lord!!
In East Africa only those torn by civil war(Somalia) and a dictatorship(Eritrea) are doing that.
Even bleeping Uganda is not doing that!!Neither are Kenyans. We are instead receiving your desperate refugees who are busy doing scams left right and centre

NairobiWalker:


When you see someone bragging over a growth rate of -13.4% you know you're dealing with a dimwit. I wonder, is it the negative that he doesn't understand? I wouldn't be surprised considering all the bs he's been spewing here.

theenchanter:
the Nigerians crossing d Mediterranean sea did that cos of insurgency while some are deceived into it.

theenchanter:
u're an embodiment of a dunce!! Have u ever seen a country that's just exiting recession with a positive GDP growth? Nigeria once shrinked below 20%, so -13.4% is growth.

NairobiWalker:


I asked you to show me the value of Nigeria's manufacturing. You showed me the value in Naira and I used the current conversion rates to convert it into dollars. Interestingly you still mentioned PPP even before I converted. Makes me wonder, do you really understand what you're talking about or you just throwing around BS to respond to an argument? Do you even know what PPP is? Since when does one use PPP to convert one currency to another? Are you mad or just stupid?

GERALD710:

80% of those crossing the Med are from states like Enugu, Ebony and Kogi.
Last I checked, two of those states have never had an insurgency and one last had it in 1966

Even the names tell.Virtually none is a Muslim name from Northern Nigeria

NairobiWalker:


You Nigerians are a funny lot. Even when you're beaten hands down you still boast as if you won. lol. You just proved yourself your manufacturing is shit and not worth mentioning. At least we Kenyans never brag about manufacturing because we know we are not doing good there. Funny thing I always thought Nigeria was doing better than Kenya in manufacturing - you just opened my eyes. I now realize Kenya manufactures more per capita than Nigeria.

nograv:


Weak.. All countries with large populations export a significant proportion of their population. Please look at the size of Indian and Chinese Diasporas. Would you similarly conclude their economies are near collapse??

In fact Nigeria has a large population reflects the fact that it has been relatively developed for quite sometime. Its the reason why China and Indian also have large populations. Bar Asia and sections of Meso-America, Nigerian regions were unique in Africa for having population densities far in advance of some regions of Europe. For example Yoruba's lived at greater population densities than Slavic groups in Eastern Europe well into the early 20th Century!!!

Also the arguments you are providing are astonishingly pathetic.. Please provide evidence that Nigerian figures are cooked and cite an article from a publicly respected western institution that draws the same conclusion?

Nigerians are savvy, you cannot just go there and expect to pull the wool over their eyes as with other African groups. I recall my uncle telling off a Congolese minister for signing a mining deal with the Chinese, where they invested 10 billion upfront but then received sole mining rights to a mine with up to 80 billion USD of deposits. My uncle made his point very politely, but the Congolese minster either didn't understand or didn't want to..

Our Savviness is the reason why few if any of our rich list positions go to foreigners, we have the intellect and capability to hold our own.. As it stands Kenyans have not shown in any meaningful way the same capacity or prowess..

Beyond questioning Nigerian figures, you havent been able to cite any comparable figures of your own, which speaks volumes. Beyond that your native rich list entrants are from well known corrupt political dynasties.. Moi's and Kenyattas. Give me a break

Cry from now till you die we are proud of Dangote, our very own just like Tony Elumelu, who has launched a foundation in Africa to absorb jobless folks like you.
We compete with foreigners in our country.

This thread has also been educational for me. Not just the deep poverty tied to systemic dysfunction but THE DEEP DELUSION OF Dangotelanders THAT PUT THEM THERE AND WORSE, WILL KEEP THEM THERE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
