rvp2018: Here comes the madman of the day. Nigeria has probably more oil than UAE. The fact that you cannot produce more because of under-investment, oil pipeline sabotage and such - is really your country own problem - and same with almost 20 trillion of proven mineral deposits.
And still you produce so much oil - more than 2 million barrel per day.
ABUJA - cannot be compared to MOMBASA.
Please why would anybody sane bring Nairobi and Abuja on one sentence.
Lagos maybe, definitely Joburg, Cape town and Cairo are the level that one compares Nairobi with.
Another arse statement from the resident madman.
Nigeria does not have much oil neither do we produce more oil than Dubai not even close..stop being Foolish. https://www.worldometers.info
I’m not comparing Abuja and mombassa that’s an insult to Abuja.
rvp2018: Which year do you want? There are so many reports; one thing is for sure; kenya punches above it's weight. Nigeria with 200m people is underperforming.
Kenya does not punch anything.
Nigeria has been leading Africa tech space since 2017...that’s facts!!!
rvp2018: I have - 2016 is very recent - confirmed by 2 weeks video - confirmed by Google Maps. You city outside the highways is JUBA or Niamey. It lacks inner road infrastructure. It a huge mess
[quote author=rvp2018 post=104033664][/quote]Lol...I see you’ve moved on to 2020.
There was a noticeable 40% slump in funding at the last quarter of 2020 probably due to covid-19.
Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Egypt remain emphatically Africa’s “big four” from a funding perspective, accounting for 77 per cent of funded startups and 89.2 per cent of total investment. Nigeria (85), Egypt (82) and South Africa (81) lead the way from a ventures perspective, but when it comes to total combined raised capital it is Kenya that is Africa’s leader, with startups from the East African country raising over US$190 million in funding in 2020.
rvp2018: That just a Nigerian trying to reconcile why Kenya has more tech funding than any other countries. If it about races - which is outright stupid - why don't they go to any of 54 africa countries. The race of the founder of the company is nonsense. As nonsensical as the fact that most Nigerian startups are started by returning diasporains.
Per capita obviously kenya is doing great - hence all the sour grapes.
Kenya should continue attracting these kind of fundings - whether black or white or yellow or brown - it doesn't matter - what matters is they are bring FDI, solving local problems and creating employments.
Lol..so much buthurt.
Facts is since 2018 nigeria has been leading tech startup in Africa, you’ve been displaced(you were not really in the race to be honest).
Check out stats for 2021 h1...looks like Nigeria will be leading this year too
In the early 2010s, Kenya’s fledgling tech ecosystem was used as a shorthand for a wider “Africa Rising” narrative. It was promptly dubbed “Silicon Savannah” as startups sprouted and tech talent flocked to Nairobi.
But by 2016, there were mutterings in local circles about how the funding seemed to be disproportionately favoring North American and European founders who were launching companies in the country. Things came to a head in 2017, when a Village Capital report titled “Breaking the Pattern” appeared to confirm what many local founders and journalists had been saying: In East Africa, 90% of disclosed startup investments in 2015 and 2016 went to companies with one or more European or North American founders.
90%!! That’s fucccking crazy...Kenya is such a joke of country always feeding false narrative to the world. Their tech ecosystem is probably below that of Angola.
rvp2018: The next paramilitary police is kenya is Kenya Administration Police - they provide security all over - to gov buildings, banks, private building if you hire, have border control unit, and rapid deployment unit. They are deployed along villages...kenya has prov administration of national gov...consisting of chiefs, dcs, dos and prov administration.
Very rarely do KDF ever get deployed in Kenya - you can count with 5 fingers the number of their deployment in kenya since independence- West Gate was big screw up - otherwise Kenya military do not get see any kenya action - mostly UN Missions abroad.
If there are riots or issues - APs and GSUs - are deployed - they are trained and organized like military but also on dealing withpolice roles- civilian, criminal law, and such - something many Africa countries - including poor South Africa need to develop - not deploying military to deal with internal issues without the training on civilian jobs.
rvp20182: Abuja is dead civil servants city..why would a slum dwellers or rural person go there..everyone goes to Lagos...20 million city of mega slums .Abuja is waste of money .The street are empty..almost a ghost town .Daily Nigerians trek to Lagos looking for opportunities ..nobody apart from fulani herdsmen go to Abuja.Epic failure .A cattle kraal.
Another insane rant bereft of facts from a depressed individual.
Abuja a city of almost 6 million people is empty??
Hope you know there are more people living in Abuja compared to Nairobi.
A city that is one of the most populous city in Africa is a ghost town.
rvp2018: Died out - and yet 3 projects mega housing have broken ground. In private sector - many AHP -are off ground. This one in Tatu city - 1000 units - SOLD OUT - it part of Affordable Housing Units.
Remember this 500k units - Gov and Private Sector - will deliver cheap affordable housing.
rvp2018: Blaa bla de bla of a goat from the Zoo. Nigeria doesn't even know what a sewage look like - just like typical Ghana - it only exist in the central business district.
Unintelligent Kenyan rant bore me.
When faced with fact he revolve into throwing tantrums like a silly little kid
rvp2018: Try invest in modern sewage system. Nairobi has 50% sewage coverage (now expanding to 70%), 40% improved sanitization (ghana type of cesspit/soakpit/bigodigesters) - THIS WE MUST ELIMINATE 10% shared sanitisation Less than 1% open defacation.
Meanwhile If I ever come to West Africa - I will never eat FISH https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ghana-environment-water-health-idUSKBN17F207 For decades, cesspit tankers emptied their cargoes of sewage here, collected from across the Accra metropolitan area, while residents traditionally used the site for open defecation.
Some 500 meters away in Jamestown village, 32-year-old Maxwell Lamptay fishes every day in water locals say is contaminated with faeces.
Ghana approved a revised environmental sanitation policy in 2010 that was meant to put an end to the tradition of emptying untreated sewage into the ocean, now more than a century old.
Lol...Nairobi doesn’t have 50% sewage coverage, it’s less than 30% according to your government.
One of the indices that indicate if a city is moving for ward or backpedaling as in the case of Nairobi is to check the conditions of its worst part as the years go by.
This is oshodi, ask anyone this used to be the most disgusting and horrid place to be in Lagos.
