The rant of a misinformed idiot from the dystopian zoo.

Developed countries pay a lot of taxes so they don't have to live like a zoo. They don't have to ever go through blackouts, pot-holed roads, kidnapping and absolutely lack of personal safety, pollution, lack of pipe safe water, terrible traffic jams, poor quality of education, lack of proper medical care.

Now let's compare kenya and Nigeria. We pay probably highest electricity cost in Africa - at more 20 cents a usd. Nigeria on paper pays Africa lowest at 6 cents USD. Kenya enjoy 24-7 stable electricity. Nigeria are luckly to get 6hours of electricity everyday.

You know why - Nigeria electricity sector is underfunded because consumers pay very little - so there is no investment done by power companies nor can the power producers be able to run the turbines.

The end results - nearly every Nigerian has to invest in diesel or petrol generator. The cost per KWH of a generator is upwards 40 usd cents per unit.

Conclusion: CHEAP is EXPENSIVE.

Example 2. Fuel. Kenya pays very expensive fuel prices - we tax it heavily - more than 100% to provide money to fund gov and for road maintenance levy. Nigeria pay ridiculously low prices because fuel is not taxed - but actually subsidized. You would think Nigerians enjoy the best of life - but because their road infrastructure is mostly totally collapsed and the few decent roads are clogged with traffic - it cost more to run a vehicle in Nigeria - than in Kenya. And Nigeria is plagued with fuel shortages...something unheard of in Kenya. People don't know what it means to ever go to petrol stations and lack fuel...or to have long queues. The sector is profitable for everyone - so why would fuel ever go short?

Let not even talk about the mess that fuel quality in Nigerian and the disaster on the engines and environment.

The same is true for everything else.

The amount of money Nigerians have to spend on personal security - I am told the rich have to drive with armed guards- the oil sector is a mess because thugs cut off pipelines - the Fulani herdsmen drive from Sahara to Nigeria like it was a wilderness and kill any farmer they find on their way - Boko Haram control the North East - etc. These kind of things are surreal in any modern country. Even South Sudan have some semblance of law and order. Heck Somali's AlShabaab run their regions with far more order.

The difference btw near Utopia like countries - heavily tax norway for example - and a dystopian zoo zero tax Nigeria - is obvious.

Taxes enable gov to provide common services that would be hard or inefficient if everyone was left to sort it out themselves like Nigeria has done.

Kenya tax level - at 18-20% GDP is far from ideal. South Africa at 25% of GDP. Norways are at 50%.

Kenya should aim to increase it tax base to hit 25% of GDP. While Nigeria at 5% tax to GDP will remain like Somali or Chad or Niger or name it - they get zero tax - and they have zero development.

You wasted your time writing this..Instead of helping you debunk those lies onE after the other which would make us digress from the subject matter I would rather ask you simple questions and expect your reply in succinct term....

Where does all that tax money go to cos we dont see it in the life of the citizen?
Why is is that your taxes are constantly been reported to be stolen?
Why is that your taxes can barely build 1km road with a single loan attached?

Why is your Infastructures heavily dependent on loans instead of your taxes? Who is fooling who..

In as much as I agree that there in room for improvement in our tax to GDP system I would say Kenya has outlived her opportunities cos it's obviously not showing...you generate up to 21% -17% tax to GDP yet U gat nothing to show for it..you are better off not paying at all then you your bad roads,power cuts,poor infastructure than to pay an still go through this horrendous situation..

Shma:
Skyscrapers currently under construction in westlands.

Just confused..since when did Escada become 27flrs and also start date at 2019...

Something just doesn't seem right...

Shma:
another rehabilitated road in Nairobi!
This is olive hospital access way, it's now looking better. it used to be terrible.

If this is a new road then.it is super ugly as fvck...

zhike:
Let me teach you Indians are travelling because India is poor like Nigeria.
South Africa has nothing to offer, am surprised. But I understand because you are Nigerians and Nigerians do not believe in another black person.
Nigeria has liberated South Africa by praying at schools, while Tanzania and Zambia were training South African soldiers.

And Chinese are traveling cos they are what.....
Funny how the Indians control the Kenyan Economy...their richest and top richest are Indians ..

Yes SA has nothing to offer cos the are retrogressing faster than they progressed in the previous decade(s)...last time I checked they are stills developing nation like the rest of the continent..tell me what changed...hence why I said we would rather learn from fully developed nations line UK,US than SA..

zhike:
Most of Nigerians are lawlessness and you are one of them- why are you swearing, did i swear you?

Nigerians are lawless, they don’t pay tax .
Nigeria has no airline, Kenya has airline.
Nairobi is clean, Lagos is full of rubbish
Al shabaab is in Somalia not Kenya
Kenya believe that they can get good life in Kenya
Nigerians believe that in order to get good life they must leave Nigeria

How can you learn from far countries like UK, while you have sister country like South Africa.
What is the different between South Africa and UK, they are both developed the same.
You need to visit SA and learn
The problem of Nigerians is that they are having inferior mindset, they think everything from west is good than African.
They believe in international brands, international soccer, international music, etc.
Nigeria will not develop until Nigerians wake up from this mindset slavery.

Foolish noise all because I countered every of your noise with painful fact....

- Nigerians don't really pay tax cos the govt barely impose it on her citizens..Kenya on the other hand taxes the life of her citizen to the most irrational of things...Insgyine paying citizenship and residency tax when you are a citizen..wtf is that...in Kenya that is an avenue for serious corruption...with all that tax generated yet they still borrow to build even little things like just 0.5km of roads(wonder no more why your road network is just 10% paced after 56 years of Independence...tell me where Ur tax went to) . little wonder why your tax to GDP should be hovering around 73% by now....now tell me where does all that tax goes to if not the greedy pockets of of Kenyatta and his cohorts..

- Nigeria has no need for a National airline..our private airlines are soaring the skies of Africa and raising the bar so high that they are respected globally...Airline can be a source of governmental corruption with losses year in year out...Wonder no more why USA doesn't have a national airline but their private airline has risen their avaition industry to multiple billion dollar....Kenya national Airline which is "KQ" is a disgraceful, overly indebted, loss making venture scheduled to be rendered useless maximum this year...for the past 7 year KQ has never recorded profit, now tell me what is there to be proud of...Thanks to covid19 KQ is loosing an additional $500m this year..that should put that crappy flying coffin to rest finally..

- you are still on your delusional rants..I speak facts...Nigeria middle class is by a long margin bigger than that of Kenya, same goes with the per capita income,GDP per capita...heck Nigeria was reported on the international scenes last year to be making more millionaires now more than ever and it's happens we are the top..I mean it was said we are making g more millionaires than anyother country in Africa...now there goes your point to the waste bin ...
Kenya are equally in every corners of the earth escaping their zoo for a better life....this is just a fact....talk of SA and I might relax a bit but Kenya..no, nah, Never.

-UK is more developed than SA.thats the difference and that is also a fact...Every south African knows that...

The rest is drivel, not worth my time..

@Tayermashri...you fav "WATHONI" has such an incredible story to tell...
Watch and learn from

To imagine Ghana or any Nigeria slumpolis can compete with Nairobi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f04btVKbQ5Y

Forget it Lagos and Abuja wins ..even this vlogger said thesame thing when she visited Lagos and Abuja...we also have another vlogger from Kenya with the bane George Mwangi and he attested to what I said...

zhike:
Kenya is 100% ahead of Nigeria.
In Nigeria there is rebels , no rebels in Kenya
In Nigeria there is tribal wars , no tribal wars in kenya
In Nigeria there is religious war, no religious way in Kenya
In order to be successful in Nigeria you must go outside Nigeria, you can be successful in Kenya
Nigeria are lawlessness, Kenyan are law abiding citizens
Kenyans learns from South Africa, Nigerians hate South Africa because is developed than Nigeria .

- Bokoharam is to Nigeria as Al Shabaab is to kenya
- stop lying tribalism exist in Kenya and it's very strong...wonder no more why the kikuyu's have monopolized Kenya seat of power for decades..
- wtf do you mean by religious war.
- that's a lie..our middle class is higher than yours, some of the richest black personalities are right here in Nigeria and guess what they all made that moola right here ..
- stupid talk..where was it said that Nigeria s are lawless and Kenya s are lawless abiding...smh such penchant for foolish,overly ignorant remark..
- ke yans can learn from SA but we Nigerians are not learning from them when we have developed countries like U.S.A , Germany,UK to learn from..


All in All your post reeks of ignorance, stupidity, pettiness,close mindedness..you name it
.

TayserMahrii:
No amount of soothing will make me watch bibi you can even get down on your knees and I still won't. But Wathoni can win whatever the hell it is them folks win over there at bibi

You. Are already watching it..I bet you are doing that right now in kibera...
Do the just forget to vote your favourite contestants WATHONI....we generate good revenue from those votes..I think over 5bn naira came In through voting from outside Nigeria last year...

TayserMahrii:
The misery is actually being implemented at some place known as Roysambu, Little Nigeria.

Little Nigeria is Karen...we are making Karen our headquarter of all our brutal implementations on Kenyans and their generations to come...

Nigerians have arrived, we are not coming

TayserMahrii:
So you never knew her name but knew she was half Kenyan. See i said,, to you only the KENYAN part matters. Not even her name

Yeah that cos she said she's Kenyan....

theenchanter:
alfred rewane is d place where d richest black man and one of d richest black women on earth are building their towers directly opposite eachother.

Remind me again..what's the name of that Dangote tower..

TayserMahrii:
I simply googled her name. The tab is still fresh I can show you once you post the screenshot as agreed I still recall how you proclaimed your undying love for her Kenyan side of the family. The association is exactly what you live for

You would have said that earlier if that was the case...your brain just thought about this lie quite late...
Enjoy the show as don't forget to use the hashtags #BBNAIJA when you are tweeting okay

TayserMahrii:
No Ibrahim, the misery stays in Nigeria.

Nah Delhi, the misery is being implemented as we speak...
Never forget we are not arriving but ARRIVED

Kenya is officially gone for

TayserMahrii:
Certain lady by the name Pavor3 would know. I still need a screenshot cuz I got to know wathoni from you right here. Now that I know her, she's my favorite for no reason except she shares my nationality.

You I the proof I would have given...I never mentioned her name cos even then I never knew her name...
I knew you would picking WATHONI I hope you are enjoying the show down there in kibera...

TayserMahrii:
But you posted her photo a few days ago when you proclaimed your love for her Kenyan-Nigerian roots

Nope I posted group photo with her and other ladies...but I never mentioned her name...lol you shot your self in the ass..good to see we are entertaining down there in kibera amidst this lockdown just tell us your favourite housemate and quite the pretense..you blew your cover already..

TayserMahrii:
fortunately we won't allow you to launch your misery on us. We are too smart to give you company,,,misery loves company. I think last week several of your peeps were arrested for illegal stay. Among other things we won't allow our gene pool to be infiltrated by Nigerians. We consider that sacrilegious

You are making noise delhi the misery is already in pipeline and getting implemented gradually...you need to get the memo and anticipated the misery we are bring cos it's coming...

"Nigerians are not coming, they have arrived". (suspenseful music playing at the background)

TayserMahrii:

Thought I heard such...I'm still waiting for the snapshot.

A new study has revealed that Mwangi was found to be the most common surname in Kenya, according to the research carried out by NetCredit and whose results were released this week.

Mwangi is a common name among the Agikuyu, a community that largely occupies the Central Kenya region. The name is also used by some clans from the Ameru and Aembu communities.

The same study found Akelo to be the most common name in Uganda, Juma in Tanzanian, Nkurunziza in Burundi, Uwimana in Rwanda, Ali in Somalia, Tesfaye in Ethiopia and Deng in South Sudan.

In Nigeria, Ibrahim is the most common name, Nkosi in South Africa, Mensah in Ghana and Mohamed in Egypt.

The most common last name in the United States is Smith same as in Australia and in the United Kingdom.

In Brazil Da Silva is the most common name, Wang in China, Ivanova in Russia, Smith in Canada, Garcia in Spain, Rossi in Italy and Muller in Germany.

So how does this refute what I said...

Lol at this point yiu wouldn't be needing a screenshot cos you are the screenshot itself just enjoy BBN in peace and tell me who your favourite housemate is

TayserMahrii:
8 sounds like the number of people from Wathoni's Kenyan family. Except for the slight potential of seeing the lassies striking a callipygian pose, which is in fact next to nil, there's nothing to attract us to bibi naija

Ok this motherfvcker just shot himself in the ass....how do you know WATHONI if you haven't watched that show...ladies and gentlemen we have another biggest BBN fan from Kenya...good you've join the club...U are welcome "the latest bbn fan"

Driving through a single street in ikoyi(Street Name : Alfred rewane Rd)...mehn ikoyi is dope as fvck...trees planting, greenery is like 5&6 with ikoyi's beautiful roads...

alaye there is nothing like 'being the bigger person' here.

what bigger person?

people need to be put in their place. fúck anyone's condemnation.

the mumu guy has finally shown he is Igbo and I'm not surprised.

Does it makes sense to join a fool in his folly? Plus this is not the right place for such..

Btw what do you mean by "he has really shown he is Igbo"....?

Is being Igbo a crime..

BeforeJuly:
this your talk is unfounded ma nigga.
I've seen more than 8 Kenyans on Twitter really excited and tweeting about the show. they've even learnt how to type in Pidgin English.

expectedly they are women.
THEY LOVE BBNAIJA.

You have seen 8 while I have lost count in just 1 hour..

rvp20182:
What export..talk about impoort business

Shut up ..we export shoes, foodstuffs and leathers (just to mention a few) to europe and US....

Austine1213:
You made sense, but Nigerians need to move from this tribe thing. It makes no sense to me

Its good to distribute economic activity across the country

I totally agree with U..

TayserMahrii:
Nigerians must conquer themselves from within first..meaning BH and the cowmen in the north first. Everything else is just street talk gibberish

Nigerians cannot conquer themselves, we are not enemies...our focus has always been Kenya... apparently we've successfully infiltrated your Zoo what remains is to launch our misery that will on the minds of every Kenyan to come centuries after centuries

TayserMahrii:
Will be waiting !!! and please note some names are shared between nigerians and kenyans...so no Maina, Mwangi, Obalende, etc. Those are Nigerians with kenyan names

I am very much aware which is Nigerian and Kenyan......Mwangi is a Kenyan name and No Nigeria would want to bear that horrendous, weird sou ding name....

Expect the pics of their names in peace

TayserMahrii:
Eritreans around town think the same too They're colonizing Kenya The black on black colonialism couldn't come sooner

Consider asking Kenya for help in fighting BH considering the SA mercenaries failed to help you.

Let your focus be on Kenya not witty remarks in BH...

Nigerians are not coming, they have arrived...

Did you get the point now...black K on black colonialism would be brutal a d fun to watch...damn it ...what a century to be alive..

TayserMahrii:
Screenshot next time you see a Kenyan name Kenyans are too busy netflixing to watch that ashawooo show

I will...that shouldn't be hard since it is always frequent..

TayserMahrii:
Conquer BH first we wont listen to your empty chest thumps Keinya is not for sissies

Whether or not we conquer BH or not point still remains we have conquered Kenyan and registered our strong presence unapologetic...

Nigerians are not coming, They have arrived...

Get that point and bow to your new lords black on black colonialism should be brutal and fun to watch

Lol in adecades from now we would be seeing Kenyan screaming on social media how their fore father's allowed black colonialism (Nigeria) exploit them..

TayserMahrii:
No link or clip so not true. Kenyans dont even know bibi naija is happening

I am not here to prove shiit...I see this things every time I tuned to tv to watch BBN...kenyan love it so muchhhh

Austine1213:
I feel Anambra is not a good location, i may be wrong

Okay I see..you're prefer if it was in Lagos the commercial capital....
Anyway I get your point but I strongly believe Anambra is also a good location same way investors also share my sentiment before investing..I mean they must have run some feasibility study.. ..

Anambra state has two cities/town which are onistha and AWKA...onistha is the commercial hub of Igbo land...all Igbo from neighbouring state comes down to onistha to trade and get stuff back to their various state...to them it like their own Lagos with the bustling commercial activities...I think the biggest market in Africa is either in Lagos or onistha..I am not sure but it has to be one..if it Lagos then onistha comes second and vice versa..

Let me chip this in a little..igbos majorly run the import and export business in Nigeria...Even here in Lagos their presence in that sector cannot be rivalled by any other tribe... for decade they've been clamouring for their own seaport or cargo airport from the federal govt..FG has heard that cry and is working on the closest port to igbo land which is the onne port in rivers states...with this cargo airport and inner seaport they can be able to trade Internationally without having to come down to Lagos and eventually settle....most igbos in diaspora run this kinds of business but they all have to do it via Lagos cos of the infastructures here favours their business...they feel it would be safer and easier if they can just run it in their states along side their family while they remain in Europe or anywhere else transacting the business with their people back in Nigeria on their soil...
