The 55 years average is too low. The US numbers are modest and still very good at 78 years. You can't equate the US scenario to the Nigerian one!

Don't be shallow. USA, the richest country in the world is heavily surpassed by many countries in life expectancy.
**** Does that make the USA poor?

Hahaha...Really?
In what sense can pidgin outperform Swahili?

If Pidgin is made official in Nigeria. It will then be standardized and in no time become the most spoken language in Africa.

Kenya is one of the leading countries in Africa in online shopping and also on mall flour space second only to South Africa. It's nice having a healthy mixture of both.

genieluv:
We have moved on to online markets and online shopping. It's more progressive than the stress of navigating crowded malls

NairobiWalker:
....and for some weird reason you think English will be taken over by Nigerian pidgin?

Look, the Roman empire collapsed and the Spanish Empire grew as well as French and Portuguese hence there was a chance in balance of influence. With the way Nigeria is run what's the probability that Nigeria will grow into a power stronger than UK and USA in the next 1000 years? You guys love daydreaming.

Who ever thought the Roman empire will collapse?
Tell the Romans this same thing millenia ago that their descendants will end up speaking and taking pride in vulgar latin, they will say you are mad What is happening today?

~~~~ American English which was a corruption of British English is now taking over the world and heavily displacing the original British English.

Life has proven itself heavily unpredictable throughout history.

**** At the height of the British empire centuries ago, tell them that their children would one day take pride in the identity of American lifestyle, they would have said God forbid, cos then even American born Europeans were regarded as untrained, ill-mannered and far away from home cultured savage individuals.

Look like Port Harcourt it will struggle against Kisumu. The same way Abuja has nothing on Mombasa. Lagos can only dream about Nairobi.

So, you Kenyans prefer a white man to invest in your country over a fellow Black African?
••••• This thread must have gotten deep into you guys.
I will prefer a Kenyan to invest in my country over a white man.

you don't get it which whitemen are you talking about any person can invest in kenya if you meet certain standards dangote tried but ran away saying we are corrupt and you need to get off of this whitemen mentality from your brain

Keep on dreaming. Nigeria has been leading Africa in online marketing with a wide margin for years.

30 floors in 2018 - is exciting you - Nairobi we are looking at 80 floors! Pinnacle Towers which is back on construction is 70 floors and 45 floors.

Once complete, Pinnacle Towers in Nairobi, Kenya, with a height of almost 300m, will be the tallest building in Africa.

The foundation itself has taken I think 3 years to dig.
https://www.franki.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Hass-Towers-News-page-1080x360.gif

Lying machine. The construction is on hold.

Besides, don't be a local champion, come out from your Kenya frog pond. Eko Atlantic city will host this 75 floors Nigeria Elevation Tower with the height of 377m. It won the 2017 Africa Architecture award for the best design.

This will be the tallest in Africa.

Watch make ya eyes clear.

Mauritius is ranked first for online shopping, Nigeria is second, South Africa third.

This is 2018 ranking by the way

NairobiWalker:
I communicate with you in English because you don't understand Swahili. However I communicate with my fellow Kenyans in Kiswahili.

Many Kenyans communicate with each other in English.

~~~~ I also noticed Kenyans hardly make a complete sentence in swahili without a huge chunk of it being in English.
Only Tanzanians I observe who can speak swahili for hours and days without a single word of English.

'One of the leading' understand my sentence

We have a mall culture in Kenya. We go to them but that doesn't mean we haven't embraced online shopping!
You can clearly see that we were position three behind SA who were second.

Same way your lingua franca is heavily influenced by Arabic.
***** Swahili would never have existed without Arab contact.

Swahili borrows heavily from Bantu not Arabic

NairobiWalker:
There's nothing like slummish parts. A slum is a slum. You see how Nigerians try hard to hide their reality? No wonder most of them believe Nigeria is the richest country in Africa while standard of living indices rank them with the lowest countries such as Mali, Burundi, Niger, Chad, Burkina Faso et al.

A slum is a slum, even when it has no name?
***** Why do slums in every part of the world have names, but those of Nigeria do not have accurate names that describe the entirety of those so called slums?

~~~ Why is Makoko so so so different from all the other areas you guys classify as slums in Nigeria? Sometimes our brains should do more work than our mouths.

Hahaha. But keep in mind that it might not even be constructed tho... it was under speculative in the African Architecture Awards

I have heard construction of The Pinnacle is back on track. Get back to us when you break ground for the speculative Elevation Towers

forgiveness:
Lying machine. The construction is on hold.

no Swahili is a developed language spoken in kenya tz uganda rwanda burundi drc and somehow comoros pidgin is a Nigerian thing i will compare it to sheng ( Kenya's street language) Swahili and pidgin can never be in the same league

Hahaha, no dear.
Pidgin is also widely used in Ghana, Cameroon, Benin republic, Sierra Leone & Liberia

genieluv:
If Pidgin is made official in Nigeria. It will then be standardized and in no time become the most spoken language in Africa.

but for now Swahili rules it is spoken in more than 3 countries pidgin is a nigerian thing

darfay:
Kenyan Swahili sounds heavy and unrefined lacking greatly in depth as opposed to Tanzanian Swahili

This is the pure undiluted truth.
**** Tanzanians are just like the true native owners of swahili. They speak and sing with the language in a very melodious and sweet way.

I see you're so desperate for skyscrapper - you call any 10-20 floor house a skyscrapper- do you know in Nairobi there are gazillion of SLUMSCRAPPERS - this the next stage from a slum - is here.

Desperate?

No Nigerian worries about it because we see them rise everyday here. It's you that is desperate to catch up after centuries of being below the pecking order.

Kiswahili can't be compared to pidgin. It's the second most spoken language in Africa after Arabic. French comes third. Kiswahili is taught in most reknown world universities and it is more influential than the crap you call pidgin.

Hakuna matata!

tlann:
is pidgin spoken in nigeria same as the one spoken in sierra leone or liberia

Yes.... Only a little differences. I used to think it was very different until I watched a Liberian documentary on TV. I could understand almost everything they were saying even without the subtitles.

you don't get Swahili spoken in tz and Kenyan coast sound the same it is about accent accent used in in Kenya hinterlands is different Swahili spoken in Rwanda sound different because it is spoken in Rwandan accent so as the Swahili spoken in Uganda it is about accents nothing else

The pictures looks good. Is that really apapa lagos - I thought I would see Tin Can port.

There is no way ABUJA can beat Mombasa.

I don't know enough of Port Harcourt but my initial take is - Kisumu is better. We still have Eldoret & Nakuru - just in case there is another Nigeria city that is half -decent. Not KANO type slums.

Get my analogy here. I am doing a comparison of wealth and life expectancy.
***** Why should some countries live up to 7 years higher than Americans if life expectancy was all about wealth and poverty?
Answer my question to prove your assertion, don't tell me if US life expectancy is modest or not, cos 7 years is no joke.
••••• 78 may be modest to your eyes but to those of Japanese and Koreans, it is not.
