It's one of the wonders of this world I tell you. Nigeria look really shitty. All that money I think end up everywhere but Nigeria. If Kenya were to strike oil or gold or diamond like most of these sub-saharan countries it would be first world. Kenya has done well - the biggest non-mineral economy in sub-saharan Africa - purely thanks to ingenuity and hard-work of it's people.

Kenyanstar:
NATURAL RESOURCES EARNING
NIGERIA- $160B in 2016 oil revenue
KENYA- $2B in Tourism revenue

Nigeria earned 160B dollars in revenue from its major natural resources in contrast to Kenyas 2B dollars in its natural resource. What i amazes me is where does all that money go to? Its just perplexing to say the least that Kenya outshines Nigeria with only 2% of equivalent of Nigerias 160B revenue.

Talk about hotsprings here is Lake Bogoria with real hotsprings that can boil your egg in few seconds.
Kenya depend now mostly on geothermal power - thanks to these hotspring along the great rift valley

Right. Though Kenya has done a great job to protect it's natural resource. Nigeria is classic example of how not to use oil. It inconceivable what Nigeria has really done with Oil. It hard to imagine the barrels of oil it sell and how little there is to show for it. Totally mind-boggling.

highheybee:
The fact about Kenya tourist and reserve centre is just like Nigeria being blessed with resources...I doff hat for those tourist centers though I've always knew that about Kenya...so literally with Nigeria mineral resources adding to our revenue is the same as Kenya reserve and tourist stuffs.....

There are more than 60 national parks and game reserves in Kenya - We can spend days here going through each of them - but let me highlight some few here.
Chance are if you've watched an animal documentary of the wild - it was shot in Kenya. Kenya invented SAFARI.

There is no contest btw Nigeria and Kenya when it come to natural beauty and tourist spots.All I am seeing is rivers and hills in Nigeria.Kenya is incredibly beautiful.From white sandy beaches with some of the best marine parks to plateaus and plains filled with millions of wild game to Africa highest snow capped mountains to the great rift valley with many lakes including second largest fresh water lake in the world and world largest alkaline lake to sandy deserts and all sorts of forests and rivers Kenya is incredibly beautiful..reason millions of tourists spend a fortune to visit and hotels & resorts are plentiful.

I don't know that much about nigeria university education but I suspect it similar to kenya in 90s. They have this very difficult to pass entrance exams for gov sponsored kids locking out thousands or millions in nigeria who have to go abroad. The federal universities then depend on gov or states for funding...leading to all sort of problems from delayed funds - etc.

The solution in kenya was to allow public or federal universities to admit privately sponsored students and to lower the pass mark for entry universities.

All over sudden kenya has more than 0.5M kids in universities locally and universities have so much money they are building 20 storey buildings, buying hotels, building hospitals and name it.

Now kenya gov has started funding student in private universities....so private universities are going to expand seriously.

highheybee:
Yeah,i give you that one...money spent overseas on education in Nigeria is cumbersome...and there's also not ease to establishing foreign universities in Nigeria

Pls let me on the amount paid in those foreign established universities in Kenya

It more to do with lack of 1) quality universities in nigeria - their best-ibadan is Africa's now 15th - and world maybe 2000 2) There are very few universities branches of top universities in Nigeria - and this is probably what is attracting Nigeria student to Nairobi or South Africa - coz you'll find campus of many British, Australian and even US universities in Nairobi but not Nigeria

Nigeria has long way to go when it come to higher education...which is probably the only sector they are mildy competitive in Africa -apart from extracting billions of barrels of oil with absolutely little to show for it!!

Nigeria are sending all the billions from oil to build South Africa, UK, Australia and US universities. This is something they need to reverse. Kenya was similarly doing that...but for the last decade or so...Kenyan universities have pulled their socks and have expanded crazily...and now parents would rather send them to local affordable universities than spend a fortune paying fees abroad. That will develop local universities. This is why Nigeria remain a big paradox.

highheybee:
Lol...that's because they aunt there...if am to study else where in Africa it Will be at the top 3universities in South Africa...and for Nigerians studying in Kenya maybe it's because Nigeria universities really scrutinize alot...why will me,my brothers,brainy friends I know of think about schooling in Kenya.... it's either Capetown,pretoria or the likes of MIT's not some Kenya universities....Nairobi is good though buh it's teaching to student ratio,teaching and research is not even as good as university of Ibadan..so nothing spectacular about it....and mind you university of Ibadan still has one of the lowest teacger to student ratio behind Capetown

How many Nigeria universities are in Africa top 10 - any ranking. Zero.zero. Kenya 1. We can conclude that Kenya universities are the best?. Top 50? Top 500? Top 1000? Why stop at 100? I am pretty sure Kenyan universities are better than Nigeria if you look at it wholesomely.

Just shows us one picture of a beautiful university in Nigeria.

highheybee:
Pictures...is that what you want,i assume mosta those pictures you posted are Senate buildings....am not a posting picture guy,but if you really wanna know... funnab,oau,convenant,abuad,unilag,lasu and many south eats universities are very beautiful....check them dude.... Harvard,ozford and the rest still have those 3storey buildings dominating....it's not how or being made of glass...it's the quality and we know you lag in those are

Lol...three universities in top 100

No way nigeria gdp can 500b usd when it consumes 6000-8000MW of really unstable power ( wonder what ghw is like) or consume only 18-20m metric tonnes of cement or about 250-300K barrels of oil per day. Kenya with 70B usd economy consumes 2000mw, 6 m metric tonnes of cemment and 100-120k barrels of oil per day. Nigeria economy at best should be 200B USD GDP otherwise counting vodoo movies as GDP doesn't cut. That is why Nigeria despite Oil revenue has a budget that is nearly similar with Kenya. What taxes does that economy really generate..kenya collect 14BUSD per annum..for the national or federal gov.

South Africa and Egypt where Kenya ought to aim at are truly African giants in any serious metrics.South Africa consumes 500,000 plus barrels per day, 40,000mw of power and Egypt oil (700,000 barrels per day)/70-90m metric tonnes -cement consumption per annum is truly astounding.

Admittedly your universities infrastructure are shitty looking just like the rest of the country; I bet any serious university ranking leave the webtronics when done in Africa - will show just how far Kenyan universities are from Nigeria. You cannot produce quality graduates from those shanty looking universities. What are they building when they come of universities that we cannot see in pictures

highheybee:
Lol about you posting pictures of your universities when we all know beauty doesn't translate...come oau,convenant and you know we also got beautiful ones...buh we all know 3kenya universities are in top 100 while 13 in too 200 while Nigeria the other way round have 13 per 100 and 31 per 200

http://www.webometrics.info/en/Africa
https://www.4icu.org/top-universities-africa/

That nigeria has 350B or is it 500B usd GDP is one biggest lies out there. It just doesn't make any sense at all.I bet the Nigeria Statistics office probably counted all chickens and cassava harvested or whatever would be taken as informal economy. Certainly South Africa and Egypt GDP is believable..if you cross-check with pseudo-data like cement consumption/power consumption/oil consumption/infrastructure.As far as I can tell there is very few areas that Nigeria can beat Kenya. University education in kenya is subsidized with kids paying 160USd per annum and they are also eligible for higher education loans. Looking at the shitty pictures from Nigeria universities - it hard to imagine they could beat kenya.Kenya has the BEST education system beating even South Africa. In the last few PISA-like test done in Southern Africa countries - only Mauritus beat kenya.

The least said about kenya's retail sector the better for nigeria. Kenya formal retail is now 30%...only second to South Africa. You can bet number of folks shopping in malls and supermarket in Nigeria is less than 10%. There are mega malls and supermarkets in every little town in kenya.
