I wouldn't want to compare Nairobi with Lagos again but rather

The Economic city of the North-kano
The Garden city - Port Harcourt
The city of Aesthetics and architecture - Abuja
The beautiful and serene city of Nigeria - Uyo
The Industrialized city of the East -: Awka

This Cities can compete with your Nairobi

rvp20182:
Nairobi has several world class golf course and golf estates - send those nigerian architect to Nairobi to train.

one reason why they call Africa shithole. States like Rivers can boast of this,not forgetting Enugu centenary city and other cities.Not to even mention the IBB world class Golf courser,Abuja.Nairobi is really backward.
You are boasting to Lagos about infrastructure, when Lagos has already made waves long ago in infrastructure before your only hope city

Shine the light

My fellow Nigerians, this guy seems to know more about Nigeria, he must be having sleepless nights over how important Nigeria is.Like the whole world knows about USA

rvp20182:
You got to be innovative to survive the brutal kenyan market. That kenyan CEO is betting on mobile money. UBA will make money. Sometimes I feel bad for these Nigerian banks..they came and bought small banks for a lot of money..and then huge losses for so long. It like a rip-off. But as you try to enter Kenya - we are slowly working towards Nigeria..Congo and Ethiopia are the next frontier..and watch what our banks are doing in mobile banking in TZ, UG and other...learning from kenya. The future of banking is being written in Kenya.

Just imagine when we enter Nigeria with mobile money & commerce - it will happen. Just watch. Safaricom was hobbled by Vodafone -so they took M-PESA and staff and tried to make money from it worldwide- but our Kenyan banks don't have big foreign investors.

Enter where,how do you want to thrive.when almost all the Nigerian banks are already buoyant. We have our own mobile money platforms, PAGA,Quickteller,Kongapay and many others and what's the issue with your mpesa

Speaking of Banking and finance,you can never rub shoulders beside Nigeria

rvp20182:
Yeap kindly spare us this agony
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/Visual_effects_scene_in_a_Nollywood_movie.jpg

yes,we. also show our culture and not only civilization.
Ask the Chinese,ask the Indians,ask other countries why they produce cultural movies

CSTR1003:
lol.

You want to me start listing the many names of Nigerians in Hollywood?
Actors and actresses that have won awards that lupita will never get.
There is even a Nigerian on the black panther casting.

You guys are so backward it is funny.

BTW, Nollywood is much bigger than that. It is Africa's biggest.

Don't insult it.

don't go there,because they would cry

rvp20182:
Very predictable - entertainment - I ask you again name one nollywood movie that has made some money worth talking about. Kenya's Oscar award winning actress Lupita Nyongo is making more money than entire nollywood from black panter - and here you're shouting entertainment and Cinemas . I think her share of now 1.3B dollars from black panter will eclipse all your third rate Naija movies.

Dangote then Banks then GDP then Entertainment - Nigerians so predictable - there is basically nothing in the country except pea nuts.

https://www.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/483042217-600x743.jpg

Do you want to bring in Entertainment again , now all your artiste combined are not up to Genevieve Naji

Quote me

nwoke37:
Dangote is using 12 billion dollars to build a refinery in Lagos

see this ones oo,dangote that is constructing roads for Togo etc

Dangote Group is too much for their companies. I will use Dangote sugar and not even Dangote cement.

Ignorance makes them think Dangote produces only cement

NairobiWalker:
Look at it this way, economists say the backbone of the economy of Kenya is Agriculture yet Nairobi generates 40-50% of Kenya's GDP. Interestingly, there's no farming in Nairobi. You get the gist? I hope you do - see, the oil doesn't have to necessarily be mined in Lagos for Lagos to be dependent on it. Read some economics for heaven's sake.

Lagos is not by any means benefitting from Oil and its economy is by far bigger than then whole of your country.

[quote author=rvp2018 post=67068989]I have heard you can't drive with your windows open in Lagos - anuote]when the bus reform starts,danfo bus drivers will be empowered and trained,then they start driving the states buses with uniforms .

The govt is training the youths,market women ,artisans,empowering the physically challenge and others.
The govt is establishing more adult schools,delivering more health centers etc,plans to establish adult relaxation centers.

The govt of lagos is really teaching Nigeria about good governance and you choose to say what you like

Lagos isn't about road,bridges,industries alone

rvp2018:
I doubt the effectiveness of LRU - and then the plans - those are hilarous - Nigeria has 12,000mw of installed capacity - and it manages to only use 2,000MW - just tell me how adding more installed capacity will solve anything. Are you guys this dumb? The current installed capacity is enough to supply the entire nigeria with constant 24-7 electricity. At you level of poverty - your per capita power needs are low (mostly lighting a bulb & watching TV)- just like in Kenya - the average household - need maybe 0.5kwh per day - and 12,000mw can give you what 240,000,0000kwhs...more than enough to supply the entire nigeria.

The problem is not more generation...it's maintaining the existing ones..ensure they are running 24-7hrs - by making sure people are being smart-metered and they are paying for power...giving money to distributor to pay the producer...and slowly moving from 1,800MW per day to 12,000MW per day...otherwise the idle capacity you have is staggering.

But all of you are mostly idiots just shouting GDP, Dangote, and Big PLANS.

Kenya generates about 2,500Mw - and it uses 2,000MW with 500MW just idling there for any surges -- and it supplies 4-6M household with power - and you'll be suprised that only about 6,000 of it's customers - the big industries consume 80% of our power. Household consume nearly nothing....lighting 5 bulbs at night for 3-4 hours,charging their phones or laptops, at best a fridge and watching TV....the entire lagos can function with 1,000 MW.

so you haven't heard of LRU on nairaland.LRU isn't planning again, they are fully functional

And why do you think crime is curtailed quickly in Lagos, why do you think Lagosians feel safe by calling 112

rvp2018:
These are not dumb CCTV like you. These are intelligent cameras - a contract we gave China's Huawei - for Naira 60 Billion. Can Nigeria with their small budget afford to buy CCTV for 60 billion Naira?

This is the project: Which has been functional for 2-3 yrs now. A mismanaged Nigeria can only dream about what Kenya does!! and without OIL.

The IPSCSS17 will result in the installation of
1) 1,800 CCTV cameras with [b]face and motor vehicle number plate recognition capabilities [/b]in strategic locations in Kenya’s two big cities of Mombasa and Nairobi;
2) setting up a command and control centre where footage from the CCTV cameras and handheld devices will be relayed in real time; a video conferencing system;
3) connecting 195 police stations with high-speed internet;
4) the development of a 4G LTE18 network for the police with 80 base stations;
5) supplying the police with 7,600 radio communication devices with SIM cards and photo and video capability;
6) and linking 600 police vehicles to the command and control centre.

And all Nigeria can dream is some island or gated community having half of that

I beg of you,check for lagos Emergency unit,check their centers scattered across the state, check out their world class equipments, checkout their Helipads etc

Check RRS
Check Lagos Environmental sanitation corps
Read about lagos state swift service emergency No's
Educate yourself about lagos state traffic management agency
Checkout Lagos Neighborhood corps,check their modern systems, their bicycles, their services.

Read about their facilities and equipments
AND
Don't forget Lagos marine police

I repeat lagos isn't your Daddy's mate ( Nairobi)

And what's the big deal about that,do you know when Lagos started using CCTV,Lagos is just extending more to inner cities and not just the island. Like now oshodi and other areas now have CCTVs with CCTV surveillance security patrol vehicles, surveying the axis to avoid any breach of tranquility.

In no time,Lagos smart street light will be the one monitoring traffic

rvp2018:
Yeah - 3 round abouts is big deal - and footbriges. Bus stops. E-GIS. CCTV. You guys need to visit functioning city. Nairobi is one such smart city...as you droll about 13,000 cctv cameras...Nairobi already implemented all that. We spend [b]150M usd [/b]to install not only CCTV cameras but intelligent cameras including facial recognition, number plate recognition & police commands centers in Nairobi & Mombasa..that is why we have reduced terror attack to nearly zero....despite bordering Somalia.

https://www.sde.co.ke/sdemedia/sdeimages/saturday/sfck0grmfczkhu575bc1021ef31.jpg

Unlike Lagos - which is a thug paradise - you can't try any such in Nairobi or Mombasa - because chance are - there is an intelligent camera watching you - with intelligent face recognition and if you have car - your plate recognition- and we have functioning 991!

Watch Nairobi beat crime.

Watch at our police command center - receiving 50,000 calls.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_999UQ2ehM

With your little budget - you cannot to invest in modern CCTV or policing.

and see this one,you think Lagos state Police use just cars alone, I laugh at you.
Lagos RRS,LRU use up to date modern solutions to curtail crime,I beg you,check for their smart patrol vehicles

You fall my hand by explaining to them about Lagos.Lagos is not their Daddy's mate

68816419:
And who told lagos aint building infrastures,lagos is building power plants, might roads, hospitals, water supply, industries and many more

1. Expand the Lekki-Epe expressway by taking out three roundabouts – 4th Roundabout (Elegushi), 5th Roundabout (Jakande) and 8th Roundabout (VGC) – to decongest traffic.

2. The construction of fly over bridges
3. Expandsuion of over more than three thousands (3000) roads

4. Install 6,000 street lights to support the Light-Up Lagos initiative.

5. Install 13,000 Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras and security sensors across the state, for surveillance and the prevention of crime. This will begin by September 2016, and should be completed in 18 months.

6. Implement the Lagos Enterprise GIS (EGIS) upgrade and the Integrated Land Administration Automation System. This will ensure proper monitoring of government infrastructure for optimum benefits, fast-track the ease of doing business, and improve government-citizen relationship.
7. Lagos light rail projects
8. Lekki Airport (new airport)
9. Lekki free trade zone (worth more than $45B), Dangote Industries
10. Badagary see ports
11. Bus rapid Transport (BRT) all over lagos

These people don't know that a damaged Nigeria is still better than their.precious Kenya lol thats just d big truth
Africa will move forward when Nigeria moves forward , thats another big truth


....JASON THE NAIJA DUDE

so many African analysts have said it that if Nigeria gets it right,then Africa gets it right.
Nigeria is the back bone of Africa and nig. Is very crucial for Africa's progress.
People think,they call Nigeria Giant because of infrastructure or because of development

rvp2018:
There is adequate power all over kenya - the last time we had serious power rationing was in drought of 1999 - then we depended on hydro - now we depend on stable geothermal power - yeah we are on of world leaders of clean power - no diesel engines here - and there is stable power in the whole of the country - apart from schedule maintenance. Just ask anybody around. 24-7. All over kenya.

I think right now we are about 50-60% of everyone having power - our target is universal electricity coverage by 2022.

give me an authentic stat and I will tell you how irrelevant Kenya is to our existence

Daejoyoung:
And yet with the so called constant electricity in Kenya and even with the cooked GDP, Kenya still struggles to surpass that city's GDP.
With all your so called development ahead of Nigeria, your HDI is still 146 in the world, what then are you Kenyans bragging about?

and that city still has more industries than the whole of their country

obaaderemi:
At least they are not as jobless as Kenyans. Lool

no wonder Tony Elumelu is empowering people like them

rvp2018:
It's very unlikely you can keep the generator running for that long.

Generator or whatever, we are still better off because,we have the money

Don't worry Mr rvp, I am expecting the Lagos state IPP to start distributing power and other projects by the FG and states for other states.

You keep deceiving your self,as if light is Even adequate in Nairobi

And do you even think some households don't use light for at least 16 hrs per day or more.What of numerous estate generating their own power eg Amen.Estate Ajah,Lagos

sufferNsmiling:
My friend I say illiteracy is a problem. People open their mouths before they think .all of those things on nta ,ait nigerian news channels 90% off them are lie and political propaganda. In agriculture we are nowhere in africa .we are one of the biggest food importers in the world. See article below on food secure

http://www.inonafrica.com/2017/12/05/africas-top-10-food-secure-countries/#more-7712

why don't you say Nigeria is nothing,I doubt if your hatred isn't more than the master of Kenyans on this thread

rvp2018:
Chance are high the nigerians defending nigeria here are not in Lagos or Abuja.

Then I am where,or your Nairobi village

I don't want us to Engage in e- fight with Ghana,let's face the kenyans in order not to be-little our country the more

Nigeria vs Kenya vs Ghana

This is so interesting, we are capable of handling you guyz

That guy suffernsmiling isn't a Nigerian or maybe one pained Nigerian

And one ignorant fellow said its not progressing

rvp2017:
Yeah that kind of multi-colored outfit - doesn't sell globally though. So if you want to export apparell and textiles - you have to come to Kenya and learn.

you continue to showcase your deficient knowledge.I only used that as a meme.

AND

Moreover,we are very proud of our local attire that we now export different styles and fabrics to Europe and the world.
Our politicians put on Native wears,Bankers,Teachers,Civil servants etc put on Native dresses at least Weekends.

Unlike those your politicians who feel inferior putting on native wears.
