How does the color or ethnicity of Dangote matter? We have small gdp - let even say it 10B dollars - but Kenya has a bigger budget than Nigeria. That is money in gov coffers. If we go for bank assets - I can bet Kenya is probably now at 50B dollars - and Nigeria probably less than 100B dollars. Name any indicator - and your paper-weight economy is just not there.

This was when our budget was supposedly at it lowest in the middle of our deepest 2016 recession yet we lead in infastructural construction, with SA trailing behind...
Most of the infastructures you see us posting started back then..

rvp2018:
Sorry care tell me at least one single positive lesson one can learn from Nigeria? Ghana is better.

They are many but you asked if one...let your economy produce individuals or even if it is govt that would build a certain iinfastructure that makes existing in world look like a child play...that way you can be a leader in that .

Dangote fertilizer plant...largest in the world
Dangote Refinery....Largest single train Refinery on planet earth..



Don't even bother, there is nothing to learn from Kenya other than ballooning slum and re-creating slumpolis...

I'm still at lost as to what pleasure that guy derives from lying..

A sachet of powdered milk setlls for as low as #30 in Nigeria (Dano milk) while liquid milk in can sells for as low as #160 or so..

With $1 you can get as much milk as u want...

Hollandia milk, peak milk,three crowns all sell below #250 I think..and they are all liquid in tin containers. ..

Lol @ bolded. I told you you know nothing about international finance. You just proved it openly again. South Africa like Kenya suffers from trade deficits. The Rand is already losing value like many others across Africa. Printing more money without corresponding production to match it would lead to inflation.! A secondary school girl in Nigeria can tell you that. It's o' level econs.
You remind me of Idi Amin who asked his central bank manager to just print money. When the man, an economist, advised against it, Amin had him killed.
Like you, your monkey east Africa grandpa, Amin couldn't understand why a country can not just print and print money like newspapers. I guess you are just as dumb as your fellow East African illiterate, Idi Amin.

We are paying salaries and servicing our debt. You should hold Kenyatta responsible when China seizes Mombasa port from under your nose.
You know the sgr you built with the expensive Chinese loan is already losing money.

Your debt profile is worse than Nigeria's. How are you going to pay when tourism is gone, tea is gone, your diaspora is broke and locusts are messing up your agriculture? Kenya is finished!

SA rand is worst in africa hit with about 20.6 year -to-date while Egyptian dollar os the best performer on the continent. .
Kenya shillings is not far from us. .

Nigeria rail infrastructure could be a valuable asset with the last dozens of train coaches ordered been delivered in March. The coaches which have been transported to Nigerian train base in Ogun state, will be used on the Lagos-Ibadan railway when operations begin.
See Thread

Kenya wants to compete with Nigeria, then show us something like this...the only one they have was a Chinese Ponzi scheme tested in a broad daylight...

Kenya can't match this..

AskiaHarem:
Because it is Konza CityNeighborhood Block is not only a scam, but a failed scam. Just read the comments on the video and see what your brethren have to say about this imaginary city.

Lol one guy in the comment section said he was in class six when he heard of it and now he is 29 year yet nothing has happened...another said it should be completed in the next 200 years the rest said it is a political game meant to decieve the masses..they said nothing is going on there..

Even alaro city of yesterday and Anambra millennium city of yesterday has more activities on site than that political media joke..

Baliv254:
They said this project is dead
.

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

Yes it is dead...the last time you posted a video from cham media about konza sometime last year..they were still in thesame stage...

Since 2009 all you have to show for this project is a tea farm

Baliv254:
this bothers your lot because the 200M giant cant measure up to a nation quarter its size
if it was otherwise you guys wouldn't bother to respond

..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq8uMcIbFQI

Nah it is Kenya that can't match Nigerian anything.
Shut up .most at times we really try to ignore you guys but it can be really hard as you guys tend to call us out with very annoying phrases like "no city in WA can match this" "Nairobi is more developed than Lagos" "show me an estate like this in West Africa" "show me a beach like this in WA" "show me a mountain like this in WA", "show me tea farm like this in WA"..are we suppose to keep shut and watch you wallow in ignorance..Even the ghanians that tried ignoring your noise by not posting. Ya'll ended up saying it's a dwarf slumpolis..so you see we have no option..
I remember last year taymashri had the guts to compare nairobi with algeirs and Tehran only for that Algerian guy to come an drop a link of cities he has posted about Algeria on NL...you've done thesame thing to SA and now they are posting...suck weak memory just shut up and stop flattering your stupid self..you suck...

Now back to Athi river...lol you posted this 52 apartment estate to represent Athi river...lol dude Athi river is just like huruma, a vertical slum.you are so mediocre like the rest of your country men..why not post the real Athi river with those pathetic ugly public buildings from the 70's that has been left to decay and transform into a slum..do you want to see the real Athi river not this new estate..

rvp2018:
Good. Milk is so damn expensive in Nigeria - and yet the North supposedly is teaming with Fulani cows with more rights than humans.

Look like Nigeria governors learnt something in Kenya

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfztoXKc9G8

Shut up dude...milk is not expensive in Nigeria....

Most good milks consumed by commoners are mostly below $1 with very good quality and nutritional benefits..

Construction of the 614km gas pipeline linking Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano has begun. The $2.5bn investment from Sinosure will see new gas power plants in Abuja (1,350Mw) Kaduna (900Mw) and Kano ( 2,350Mw) spring up. The financiers said they're optimistic about the return on investment.

Allow me post the full report so rvp can read and be bitter...

The Ajaokuta–Kaduna–Kano Natural Gas Pipeline (AKKP) is a planned pipeline to transport natural gas from Ajaokuta, in Kogi State to Kano, in Kano State, through several states and urban centers, as part of the Trans Nigeria Gas Pipeline.

The $2.5bn investment from Sinosure will see new gas power plants in Abuja (1,350Mw) Kaduna (900Mw) and Kano ( 2,350Mw) spring up. The financiers said they're optimistic about the return on investment.

The pipeline originates in Ajaokuta and proceeds in a general northeasterly direction through Abuja Federal Territory, Kaduna, to end at Kano, a total distance of approximately 614 kilometres (382 mi).[1][2][3]

This pipeline is intended to establish a connection between pipeline networks in the eastern, western and northern regions of Nigeria. The project strives to utilize the country’s abundant natural gas resources to sustainably supply gas to northern Nigeria. The development is expected to reduce the quantity of gas flared in the country's oil fields and thus improve air quality. The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), announced tenders for this project in July 2013. The Cabinet of Nigeria approved the project in December 2017

NNPC has executed contracts for the engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and financing for Lots 1 and 3 of the 40inch by 614km Ajaokuta – Kaduna – Kano gas pipeline and stations with a consortium of indigenous and Chinese companies under a 100% contractor financing model.

Dr. Maikanti said that the project will also help to reduce gas flaring in Nigeria and encourage diversification of energy resources in the country. He also reaffirmed the Federal Government’s plan to also extend the West African Gas Pipeline (WAGP) to Morocco and commended PETAN for its contribution to the development of the Nigerian petroleum industry.

The Nigeria Morocco Gas Pipeline (NMGP) designed to be 5,660km long, will reduce gas flaring in Nigeria and encourage diversification of energy resources

Progress report from the Ebute Metta mega station, which has moved from a 3-D sketch to more advancement in the construction life of the project. No nation develops without investing first in infrastructure development

It's looks really modern.....

Rvp can show me something like this and stop all this noise about Kenya having better infastructures... inferiority complex and bitterness is killing him.

After signing a deal with Cowbell [Promasidor ] to revive the redundant Ikun dairy farm, and getting 100 cattle from Zamfara to cross-breed with Jersey cows, Ekiti begins production of milk to supply Cowbell's factory in Lagos. The plan is to supply 10,000 litres of milk daily.

This is great...we can do more..
10,000 lute is too meagre..I guess this is a start..

Road network, infastructure, cleanliness.....

Windhoek is beautiful and developed..I agree but it's seems more or less as a town...a classroom is most time more populated than the CBD so expect absolutely cleanliness...

A friend of mine that was there...said it's has certain similarities with Capetown...

Kazikazi:
The guy don't understand economic stuff.How can he compare SA with Malaysia, Brazil, turkey,Indonesia, mexico,Thailand, or Philippines?

Malaysia per capita is over 10,000 dollars way way above SA
Brazil GDP is trillions of dollars way way above SA
Indonesia GDP is over a trillion
China is 14 trillion economy, way way above SA
Turkey GDP is double of SA
Mexico has GDP of over a trillion,that is way above SA


In honest truth..
SA is in par with Colombia.Yes Colombia.
The GDP of Colombia is around 300 billions and per capita is around 6,000 which is very similar to SA. The other folk who is closer to SA is Iran and Argentina, although Argentina is a bit ahead in terms of per capita.

They are all ahead of SA in both economy and infastructure..turkey for instance is has a pop of about 84m with a GDP of almost $800bn while SA has a pop of 60m with a litter over $300bn....the difference is widely clear..

rvp2018:
Show me new slums - that have come up in Nairobi - slums have no area to expand. As we speak about 5,000 slum dwellers were evicted recently to pave way for sewage and water expansion.

Unlike Nigeria that has integrated slums - in Nairobi it easy to deal with them - because they are illegally built on public reserve land.

Slums are const antly destroyed in Lagos...this year alone before covid19 2 slums was destroyed and one is scheduled to be destroyed after corona....even last year about five was destroyed...
The important thing is destroying it and re building affordable housing for them otherwise expect the slum to be re-created in another corner..

popizaino:
Nairobi is awesome that aside,I know Eastleigh already.it used to host so many foreigners most especially somalians and it is also a place where most of the forex trade is controlled in Nairobi.it is chaotic but not a slum by any standard. I asked you this cus its similar to the underdeveloped part of abidjan metropolis that you might assume to be a slum.

That is a perfect description of what rvp calls integrated slumpolis when they have numerous place like that in Nairobi..

Austine1213:
Nairobi is kenya only relevant city, every one in kenya wanna be there

True

rvp2018:
Nairobi if you include the metro is nearly clocking 10m...so if you exclude the two well known slumpolis of Kinshasa and Lagos...it will be amongst biggest cities in Africa together with Cairo.

You've been astro projecting right from page 1 just so you can feel better about kenya...if this gives you comfort I don't know...
You have 4 million plus pop living in Nairobi with about 2.5m regarded to be living in slumm.that should tell you alot about the sorry state of nairobi.....I mean you were the same person exalting Eastleigh as some sane environment for average nairobians only for me to find out that it is a filthy vertical slum just like huruma.. Now that what I call slumpolis... Eastleigh is an example...I will try looking for another neighbourhood afrikan traveler once posted...I have forgotten the name of that place but it's looked looks like a replica of Eastleigh...your cbd's and estates account for the remaining 1.5m that doesn't live in slum...

As for Lagos expect the population to drop with this new rails connecting Lagos to Ibadan and Abeokuta...that will massively move industries,companies and population there over the next 10 years....imagine living in Ibadan but working in Lagos..after the days work you hop on the next train to Lagos from either Ibadan or Abeokuta...that how great cities were developed...

rvp2018:
Look like you're all over the map. Here is Nairobi metro. Nairobi as city already host 4.5m people - if you include the metro - counties of Kajiado, Kiambu and Machakos - we are talking 10M.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7eA2ftgJzg

More if the ugly faded roads in a shiity environment..I will research those neighbourhood you listed individually.

gallivant:
Lol

The irony!! Are skyscrapers = modernity? I already know the answer so please just answer yes or no.

Skyscraper can be modern and it's can also be an hideous slum...same goes for low-rise and highrise...

The bottom line is to keep it ultra modern...I mean either of the three...

Kazikazi:
Which city is this?

That city does not look like anything in Africa...just look at the skyscrapers and modernity...

jl115:
Bro you have a handful of Vt4 tanks which i'll admit are the most advanced tanks operating in Africa today however your artillery pieces are far from the most modern in Africa also the SPHs you bought are 105mm........SA is king not just in Africa but in the world when it comes to artillery systems.

Also just fyi for those interested, the Nigerian defence force is more powerful than the Kenyan defence force......that's just the facts!

FACTS...Rvp has just being arguing with his usual noise amidst the truth....
He can kiss my ass ...KDF is no match to our millitary...and that's just basic,plain fact..

rvp2018:
When they include South Africa - you know they are not serious. Nigeria is the next Venezuela.

Shut up and face the fact...stop deflecting

Samrobo - You can also try travel in this road - and see if you good for nothing country has what it takes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR3VEnFInOg&t=688s

I pity you...you celebrate mediocrity alot..maybe it becos you have less roads to see(you have less than 10,000km or paved road network as a 56 year old nation) so anyone you see you take it as heaven and make sure to know the name....you can imagine you celebrating a single lane road...no wonder Kenyan govt barely build road cos they know for each one they build they get praised for it for like 8 years..

That nonsense you posted cannot be compared to the roads in Owerri...

Now you travel in this road and see if your good for nothing country has what it takes to get to this level. .

Watch Nairobi first - Traveller new camera is amazing, None of Nigeria slumpolis including Abuja come close.

This was taken today.

Mediocrity...the 44km highway is nothing compared to the multiple highways running through Abuja CBD and feeding into airport road....
You guys are too mediocre..go back and watch the video you quote so you can see a world class highway copulat-ing with mother green nature..

Mkenya2019:
You're unable to defeat the homegrown terror that has sent 8M nigerians (population of small country like Benin) into IDP camps where the United Nations are feeding them...and you want to lecture us about the military.

Alshabab can only launch terror activities in Kenya like they would in London or Paris or Newyork - 3 or 4 guys - sneaking in and causing little drama here and there...those are cowardly terror acts. They don't hold territory in kenya like they do in Somalia.

The strength of the army is the ability to enforce territorial integrity. Benin Army is, therefore, stronger than Nigerian army because they are able to maintain the territorial integrity of Benin. No Benin citizen is in some IDP camps.

As for Boko haram - why would they even bother with Abuja - when they control territory and are levy taxes - enforcing Sharia law - and are authority in huge territory in the North East of Nigeria.

I didn't even read whatever you wrote...but I can tell you for free that you are wasting your time..The whole knows our army is better than anything in Kenya...whether you argue from Somalia to Jerusalem it won't change that reality which is a fact....
