couldn't ignore, no i wont.

Pls, how do u know Nigerians bought only 14 new volkswagen last year, arm-chair economist?

Not more than 32.Beyond disgraceful.Vw in Rwanda think they will sell 2000 new cars

Ibrahimanis:
Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla arm chair economist.

Youre the scum of earth and I am ashamed to share a continent with you.Imagine 2m barrels a day and you remain poor, primitive and stupid.I am starting to understand the anger of nigerian smillingnsuffering.If he had nuclear he'd definitely get rid of nigeria..a blot on human conscience and a let down of black race..only excelling in selling slaves till now.just like 500yrs ago the dream of nigerian is to immigrate and become someone slave ...at least they will get dinner.

Ibrahimanis:
AfCTA with Nigeria:
Population: 1.25billion
GDP (nominal): 2.9trillion
PPP: 6.36trillion
Very impressive.

AfCTA without Nigeria
Population: 1.05billion
GDP (nominal): 2.5trillion
PPP: 5.3trillion
Still impressive, but not as impressive as the upper one though.

Just sign up.Let us have free africa trade.You know kenya just didnt sign it but was key proponent of it.Ghana have signed up.Rwanda and South Africa.We need 16 more countries.Kenya we compete in COMESA with Egypt..and 20 countries.Our trade with africa countries constitute 48% of our trade..the HIGHEST in africa.Nigeria sign up and see our companies dock in your shores and teach you modern commerce.Not selling rats and snails and just breeding..damn peodhiles marrying 9yr yr old.How sick can you get. BEFORE you sign we are allowing all africans free 1 month visa to kenya...but send us criminals and pedophiles ..they will find their match in our police extrajudicial wing. The police will puncture their vests with lead.Open up and ratify africa free trade and travel.It shameful to hear you cry against ghana or benin.Ratify africa free trade and help reduce your incredible poverty..60m plus in absolute poverty..140m plus poor..just handful oil barons.Imagine the whole nigeria buying 14 new vw cars in 2017..how poor are you...the cheapest vw polo you can only buy a dozen a yr despite vw setting up assembly plant..i bought my first vw passat at 25yrs .In Namibia and South Africa teachers drive brand new vws.

So tell me this first time youre having intercity buses in lagos..

Lagos BRT 2) Marina BRT Best and First Brt system in Africa

LAGOS BRT SERVICE: 5 Things to Note

BRT Buses in Lagos are 434

The Bus Rapid Transport services operated by Primero Transport currently has 434 buses in its fleet.

250 BRT Buses are Fully Operational

Out of the 434 BRT buses managed by Primero, 250 are fully operational in Lagos at the moment plying the designated routes across the city.

The BRT services 150,000 passengers daily

As the major intracity bus transport service in Nigeria, the BRT services about 150,000 passengers daily in Lagos city

Primero Transport Service has exclusive BRT Corridor

There has been a lot of questions about why Primero Transport is the only BRT service allowed to use the designated routes across the State. This is because Primero pays a portion of its revenue to the Lagos State Government.

BRT Bus Stations & Routes

Major routes of the BRT service include
Onipan, Fadeyi, Ikorodu Garage , Kosofe, Stadium(Surulere), Tafawa Balewa Square (Lagos Island), Ojota, Palmgrove, Barracks (Yaba), Anthony(Ikorodu Road), Maryland (Ikorodu Road), Marina(Marina area), and CMS (Marina), Idi-Iroko, Ketu,



Impacts of BRT Service Systems on Lagos Commuters

BRT mass transit system delivers fast, comfortable and cost-effective service in a densely populated city like Lagos.
Job creation: From drivers to repair technicians and from cleaners to ticketing staff, the BRT system is contributing its own quota towards the reduction of unemployment in Lagos State and Nigeria.

Safety and comfort: BRT is obviously safer to ride than the Danfo buses. It is also safer than some private vehicles and the air-conditioned buses also provide its occupants with comfortable seats.

The working class population particularly those living in areas like Ikorodu, Ketu, Maryland, Ojota etc have convenient routes to their offices which improves productivity, find it easier to get to work, and to travel on it rather than their company buses. It is having a beneficial effect on the quality of life of a large part of the traveling population of Lagos.

This BRT system therefore, is the first of its kind in Nigeria and is the only example of a comprehensive and integrated approach to improving public transport.

2) Marina BRT Best and First Brt system in Africa

only 150k people..how are other 15 or 20m commuting to work.Dafnos.

Daejoyoung:
But you were shown the statistics a while ago,

South Africa has 300 indigenous firms.
Nigeria is second with 192, then Egypt and Morocco.
I think Kenya was 7th in Africa with just 55.

you dont make sense...

theenchanter:
but u have those 14 seater ugly danfos too and if u're really ahead in that regard as u said earlier, why dont u have dedicated lanes when lagos has had its own since 2007 and 2 more dedicated routes are currently under construction?

Arm-chair economist.

We have had buses plying Nairobi since 1960s.Initially they were owned by gov but we realuze it was bad idea.Youre in 1960s.14 seater are phased out by stopping new ones..so old one are disappearing.Lagos will need 50yrs to phase out akk those dafnos.We have bus companies $ cooperatives..all privately owned.

theenchanter:
arm-chair economist.
U're still waiting for ur brts to be shipped from SA when lagos has been using it since 2007. .

Anyways, those brts are assembled by nigerians here in lagos for lagosians.

When u import ur 150 seaters buses from SA, hala us.

look like you never had buses in lagos...just 14 seater ugly dafnos...nairobi has lots of buses and mini buses plying it roads...they just need a dedicated lane.I get your excitement now.First time youre having buses ply your city.Nairobi has hundrend bus companies with thousands buses...starting from kbs, city hoppa, double mm, etc...plying city estates.

theenchanter:
prove it, arm-chair economist stop d cheap talk.

Idiot just scroll back..we cannot be repeating this every week.

68816419:
Lagos BRT STATIONS

1) TBS STATIONS AND ROUTES (Kenyans SHOULD LEARN FROM NIGERIA ON HOW TO BUILD MODERN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS )

Very tiny buses for a slumpolis that huge.They should be twice as large and probably with upper deck.

theenchanter:
u dey mind d mumu. at least, he knows dangote manufactures in african countries, no kenyan manufacturing firm manufactures outside kenya.

Comcraft manufacture in Nigeria.Our manufacturing companies are probably 3rd after South Africa $ Egypt.We are second to Egypt in COMESA IN SELLING FINISHED MANUFACTURED GOODS.You companies are afraid of Ghanian.

theenchanter:
do u have BRTs, arm-chair economist?

The first lot are being shipped from rsa...we are talking real brt buses that can carry even 150 people...not those 50 seater buses.

samsobo24:
Nairobi suffers setback

Those buses are to replace Danfos and not BRT

Now show me anything good you have about advanced public transport

we are ahead on that...14 seater are being phased out..in nairobi for last nearly 10yrs no new one has be registered.

samsobo24:

Note

~~Kenyas public transport is still in the gutters~~

Nairobi is a real Crap of a city

LAGOS PUBLIC TRANSPORT

BRT buses fitted with Cameras and indoor Ads
Lagos Water terminal, with provision of Lagos marine police and water lanes

Lagos Bus terminals constructed across all Senatorial districts e.gIkeja Bus terminal, TBS bus terminal, Oyingbo bus terminal, marina bus terminal (u/c) and others.

BRT lanes all over the states e.g Ikorodu road,Maryland, ketu,Abule egba(u/c), Oshodi etc

Lagos state bus reform Initiative; Evacuating yellow buses to replace them with the one in the pic below

Construction of bus shelters and bus stops across the entire states,with PPP like MTN,to improve the Aesthetics of the state

The Lagos state blue light rail already constructed with the rest under construction

Construction of World class transport interchanges like that of Oshodi almost completed

Other related initiatives

Equipping Lagos state traffic management Authority with World class Vehicles fitted with CCTV

The use of technology to track traffic with the use of Smart street light [/b]

They look really tiny for brt

darfay:
So you have more manufacturing firms than Nigeria


Highly delusional

why not..outside dangote..you got nothing.our companies are all over africa including nigeria.comcraft alone has many factories in nigeria.

samsobo24:
I think we ought to silent them by drawing results from that thread.

They wait for their masters to help them establish businesses, mpesa is an example

RVP2018 Kenya is still in the aches

Now reply me and I will give you Ten results of big companies established by Nigerians blazing the trail in Africa and west Africa

why not sign ecowas custom union $ africa free trade if you have good manufacturing base.YOU CANNOT EVEN COMPETE WITH UGANDA WHO HAVE 4500 PLUS MANUFACTURERS.Kenya is on another level.That you can actually attempt to list your companies here show how small base you got to cover.kenya i think has 500k companies registered or some crazy big number like that.

Kazikazi:
You have problem of seeing a coin in one side.

France and New Zealand are first world countries but their fertility level are in about 2to 3 kids.What is your excuse? According to your map, kenya ,new Zealand,France are in the same category of 2 to 3 kids per family, why is Kenya poor?

Why is Egypt whose her fertility rate is higher than Kenya but Egyptians are richer than Kenyans? Any excuse?

What about Singapore with same fertility rate like Kenya but Singaporeans are way richer than starving kiberans? Any excuse again?

Your problem is you have swallowed wrong ideology! A white mans no sense.

I repeat,you don't get rich by having fewer children but by producing more in economy.We need to have a higher economic growth more than our fertility growth.

Your 2 kids per family is a deadly idea.In fact is satanic.It is capable of wiping the whole mankind out of this earth!

Japan is a prime example. Currently Japanese makes about 2 kids per family.In simple mathematics, If a family makes two kids, after some years the rate of population growth will be zero.After reaching a zero growth, a population growth will start going negative. This is where Japan is heading to.The Japanese population is entering a shrinking mode.Its estimated to shrink to 80 millions in 2050 from our current population of 124 millions! In the year 2800 Japanese population will shrink to 2 millions! Then they will be extinct.

Even some European nation have the same problem. But Germany is lucky to allow immigrants to take over!

2 kids policy is stupid.The way to escape poverty isn't in a 2 kids policy. No. The solution is to have a high economic growth with having more than 2 kids. We can't do things verbatim. Just because a white guy say something it doesn't mean it is the gospel.

Here comes the Tz idiot.How do I even respond to this.

bantudra:
you still dont get it...stop for a moment and think individual....

if you promise to pay somebody more than you can earn in the future,then you will become a serf,a schlepper...

our economy is growing.our kshs is robust.Worry about Nigeria.Even DRC Congo may turn the corner with new guy as you get stuck with lifeless peodhile who married 9yr old Aisha as you president till 2023.Buhari is possibly the least intelligent president in Africa.

bantudra:
that numbers he showed is tellin something else....

you are already borrowin more than you can earn in the future...thats bad....debt is never good...

you kenyans shouldnt celebrate makin debts....

believe me,you dont want to own anybody anything in this nasty world....

Debt is leverage.We are just what 55% debt to GDP. Most of the debt is concessionary with zero interest and maturity of 50yrs.

bantudra:
my guy...something you seem to dont understand...you seem a reasonable guy...



you dont borrow more than you can earn,or atleast you have it already in your hands....this is simple economical abc....

or else you will become collatoral....do you want to become a slave....??

We know that.Our macro economics are top notch.We don't have debt crisis.We never had.We will service our debt and borrow more.If not we will sell some gov assets..Safcom alone where gov owns 35% will settle nearly all Chinese loans for our SGR.

FrudstaPresidnt:
hahahahaha..... dey thing pain una sotey una come dey write long epistle....see as my bro murder una for daytime. The thing come dey touch me, I come dey comot tears small small for una but na wetin una deserve be that. Ogbeni! U go cry till thy kingdom come e no go change wetin my bros write. Na wetin we call savagery for naija be that. Kenyans get tiny brains na why naija dey murder dem here everytime. Pele o....

You can only murder poor English.Facts are stubborn things.You cannot beat facts.

bantudra:
ooooh my...this is alot of trouble....

kenyans will not even understand this numbers sef....

better kenya is placed under control of au....when they continue like this,then good night....

i dont know any nation that celebrate takin debts like kenyans....

You guys sweat small things..50 or 60...facts is nearly half of Kenya debt is internal.This is called nit picking,cherry picking and hair splitting.A mostly inane argumentation.Kenya worse was in 90s..we never got into debt crisis.. surely now when the economy is firing in all it's cylinders we are far from even from asking debt rescheduling..Kenya greatest resources is high quality of education..not a lot of idiots.I have traveled and live in Africa countries...there are probably no kids who study as hard as Kenyans..youll find 6 yr old Kenyan kids at school at six..older kids walking to school before 5 am.Kenya high school almost mostly boarding school sleep for less than 5hrs.Kenya kids study real hard which is why they beat all African kids except Mauritius.

FrudstaPresidnt:
Bro na who wex u wey make you come commit murder? See as you murder Kenyans here Igwe must hear this

Nigeria was mostly known for it scams and drug dealers but now add the poverty capital of the world as your greatest badge honour despite selling 2m barrels of daily and tonnes of natural gas.Kenya was known for her unbeatable world class athletes & her natural beauty with wild game Safaris but now is also know for it's financial innovation m-pesa.It will soon join proper middle class countries as it's GDP per capita keep rising rapidly and it's population drops.Kenya has done all this without any natural resources which makes its story truly unique.Those are stubborn facts.It very likely you'll keep the poverty title forever.India are moving on to bigger things.

theenchanter:
arm-chair economist.

Check latest data.Dont go picking old trash.Mombasa beat the two Lagos ports I think since 2016.2017 Lagos did 1m teus as Mombasa did 1.2m.2018 Mombasa closed at 1.3m.I am yet to find Lagos port complex..both tincan&apapa figures.

sufferNsmiling:
I am really getting tired with this nigerians and ecowas. The headquarters of ecowas is in nigeria but they don't want to sign any ecowas deal,. Not even the ecowas free trade agreement. Something needs to be done about it how can you have a headquarters in abuja for ecowas but they do not want to sign any agreements concerning free trade deals. Ghanaians and kenyans what do you think must be done?

The same fustration we have with TZ..the EAC is HQ there but all they do is stall and frustrate integration.

samsobo24:
Are you alright at all,why did yo think we suspended Vehicle inspection office.

See your childishness, trying to make me feel Nairobi is developed and advanced and making me feel Nairobi is richer than Lagos.
When Lagos economy alone is bigger than whole Kenya,you simply lack knowledge of basic economics,you are still comparing currencies by mere denominations,instead of Purchasing power parity.

So if you split your money into pieces and it is almost same as dollar and more than Chinese yuan means your economy is better than China's(what a childish thinking)

I told you Lagos alone is better than whole Kenya.
Lagos for instance banned the use of VIOs to give room for technology to help monitor and inspect vehicles,use technology to beat traffic


Now just use this as key word on Google and come back with the answer
" Ambode bans VIOs, to replace them with technology"


You went ahead of even saying monitor control centre.
For God's sake why will there be CCTVs without monitoring centres.

Think RVP,think

CCTV are not made in Nigeria.If you don't have 60B...sorry not 600b..then you cannot compete with what Huwai delivered to us.

Jonraid:
I hope our fertility rates lowers a bit more. Economic and GDP growth should be in tandem with the population growth or better still surpass it. Kenya should still check on its growing population even though our fertility rates have lessen down through the years, we need a 100% family planning roll out.

A high dependency ratio is one of the most profound hiccups facing developing nations.We should have more adults working in the economy than the number of children. People with an iota of brain or some education will get what I'm saying. A little bit of knowledge in demography will help someone understand the need of keeping population growth in check!

precisely.it going to be hard battle in northern parts of Kenya but the battle is won.You know for first time those btw 0 - 5 are less than those 5 - 10.This is a significant inflexion point in our demograhy.

Kazikazi:
j Yah,Kigali spoke wisely. The government won't force anyone on family planning! I don't see a difference with Magufulis way of giving people freedom of having as many children as they want.

The problem is when you force people

When a powerful leader like Magufuli implore people to get more children in 2018 then you know youre dealing with usual tragic leadership of Tz.Kibaki got sick and old but by 1970s had been named by The Times as one Africa leaders to watch.We would be like TZ without likes of Kibaki $ Mboya.

Kazikazi:
A big thief= mzee Kenyatta
A thief's son= Uhuru Kenyatta
A thief's trainee= mwai Kigali
A thief's graduate= Arap moi

Thieves! Thieves!! Thieves!! Thieves!

I had rather a thief than an idiot like most of your TZ leadership.Listen to the brilliant kibaki nail family planning in 1974..a concept magufuli doesnt get in 2018.Kibaki intelligence was off charts and is on the reasons kenya is ahead of TZ.Nigeria tragedy is greater than TZ..stupid thieving leadership.

Abuja built from the scratch is regarded as one of worst cities - not any better from Lagos. One of worst - in Africa and in the world.

We know why Abuja was built - the Northern Military generals & politician never felt comfortable in Lagos. Sani Abach spend a fortune - I think 30B to hurriedly build Abuja after a coup attempt by Southern allied armies in Lagos.

I think spending 30B to build a new city for civil servants is insanity. Just like spending 8-10B in that steel plant that is now rusted to the ground. Obasanjo spents 16B dollars to build power plants with generating capacity of 12,000mw but right now it can hardly generate 3,000MW

I can go on and on - but you know what - Nigeria has earned 600B dollars from Oil - and it has nothing to show - except the worst most expensively built city in the world - the largests steal plant that has yet to produce one billet of steel - 12,000MW of power plants that can hardly generate 20% of it capacity.

Why is Nigeria poor. It because the oil dependant economy whenever there is a boom engages in the most idiotic spending and stealing - and country remain as poor as Niger or Chad.

Danielnino00:
Calling Abuja a white elephant project or saying that it cost 30b(whatever in God's name that means) are some of the most ridiculous things I've read on this thread.... Do these Kenyans and their Ghanaian friends seriously not know that a country like Nigeria with a huge tribal diversity can't have its capital situated in one region of the country?
Do they seriously want to pretend like they don't know that Abuja is regarded as one of the best planned city in the world? A city that's barely 40 years old and built out of nothing!
One idiot from Ghana even said Abuja was 24km ...What a joke... Their ancestors will be SMH for them...

Empirical evidence. Just quote a source. Otherwise Nigeria has always been more corrupt than Kenya.

Ibrahimanis:
Absolutely correct. All me I know, Kenya is more corrupt than Nigeria.

You cannot service debts with revenues levels that you have. That is why you've been in debt crisis before and have had whooping 18B dollars just written off. Kenya if it didn't have debt crisis in 90s - cannot have it now - when economy is firing on all cylinders.

Ibrahimanis:
Oh and don't worry about our debt. 70% is local unlike yours where more than 50% is foreign. There is something called borrowing smartly after all.
Again which just highlights the different capacity of our banking sectors.

Which is why I laughed in Swahili when a certain idiot want to measure Bank assets per capita.
