Hmm maybe the Ethiopians were also from Nigeria and they are drug addicts according to lionessza.

obaaderemi:
It went viral how they killed a helpless Malawian brutally.The South Africans are just shameless!Considering the fact that Ethiopians are mainly easygoing.Those guys are just crazy.Apartheid did something nasty to their brains.But they dare not go near their white masters who are actually robbing them blind.

1. The GDP should have been triple - of course it should. Rampant looting and negligence that saw several local industries close shop or brought to their knees (sugar industry for instance) while others moved to other countries (e.g Sameer to India) while we saw former petty politicians like Duale who barely owned anything other than their MP salary become billionaires plus a host of other scandals prevented this.

2. Oil discovery came with lots of speculation and more investments came in creating a multiplier effect that played it's part on the GDP. Go to Turkana county and see what's happening their. Remember the Chinese who considered Tanzania their biggest E African ally moved to Kenya after the oil discoveries. Avic is setting up a mega headquarter in Westlands now. Lappset - the largest project in Africa currently is happening because of the oil discovery.

3. See - Kenya's GDP was $55 billion in 2013 after rebasing. Contrary to Kikuyu1's assertions, it never doubled unless you consider the 2013 figure before rebasing. The population of Kenya is said to have increased by around 5M over the same period. This translates to a GDP per capita rise of just about 20%. (from around $1370 to $1666). Meanwhile see the prices of some basic commodities over the same period.

1. Bread - KES 40 - KES 50 (20% increase)
2. Kilo of beef - KES 240 - KES 450 (87% increase)
3. Maize flour 2KG - KES 90 - KES 160 (78% increase)
4. 500ml milk - KES 30 - KES 60 (100% increase)
5. Electricity token - KES 12 - KES 18 (50% increase)
6. Sugar 1kg - KES 100 - KES 240 (140% increase)


Those are just a few examples of the most important products in the country - and before I forget, the national debt rose the fastest during those 5 years. Now tell me with a straight face if the gains in GDP within the last 5 years has really improved the living standards the ordinary Kenyan other than the corrupt tenderprenuer. You don't want us to be like the Nigerians who take pride in GDP figures while the ordinary mwananchi can barely afford basic needs.

Yeah and it says in parts of Southafrica, ritual killings are not even reported and are culturally accepted, yet these are thesame people who think they can judge others.

That lady knows Nada about Nigeria, she is ranting about having free education from primary school in southafrica as though it's new thing to us.
They accuse you of being ignorant of their country and yet are proud of their own ignorance of your country. They think we have a lower living standard than they have not because they've come to see the whole country for themselves but because they read Nairaland where we protest and criticize ourselves cos we are not satisfied.

Imagine that jayceon thinking he has a higher living standard than the average Nigerian. Funny peeps.

Listen here. One thing you will never find a Nigerian doing is denying the situation of things in their country. No we will not!
I will not deny the fact that some of the things you listed here are not found in Nigeria, however we are beginning to develop all these things.

The national housing mortgage system is now being introduced into Nigeria where you can own a good and comfortable house for a very small amount of money from the begining (for just about 100 dollars).

Feeding primary school students has been launched and kicked off in some Nigerian states.

Our government schools which are also scott- free to SS3 (12th grade) have also seen drastic improvement in most states.
Our university tuition is also as good as free, i paid only 50 dollars per session in my university! And upon that, i received annual bursary payments! Most Nigerian students are embursed annually.

Nigerians are not taxed heavily like most other countries like yours where people are even taxed for the air they breathe, this to a large extent has made our cost of living very very cheap compared to other african countries.

I will look for the picture of my family house in a northern Nigerian village for you and you will see that the road at the front of the house is tarred. Many Nigerian villages and towns have tarred roads, but i won't argue the fact that many more are not tarred.

The decades of military rule in Nigeria destroyed the progress of Nigeria and set us decades backwards in development and this is why we are where we are today. However, since the return of democracy, a lot of improvements have been recorded and many more are on track!
You can see the new world class cities and islands being built in Nigeria from the scratch! This is to tell you we are not joking! We are working very hard to recover from the wasted and destroyed years of the military era. This is why we do not have the time or like to engage in flexing muscles with other countries. You guys are the ones always interested in muscle flexing!
You fools keep acting as if your country is paradise when there are also enough problems in your country for Africa!

So, look here biitch, pointing out Nigeria's problems is not painful to any Nigerians, we know and fully acknowledge our problems and are working hard!

Where were you guys when we displaced you to become the largest economy in Africa? Were you guys not taking the lead for donkey years in the past?

I really do not want to start showing you pictures about developments in Nigeria cos we have been doing that over a thousand pages ago till now! There are other important things to discuss!

Lionessza:
Where did I say they don't do it? .yes those are random cases , unless you can prove otherwise. We all know in Nigeria ritual murders are a norm , no use denying that.

"Nigeria could be the fast growing economy over the period to 2050"

"Nigeria could push UK and France out of top 10 Economies''


LOL!

Jayceon:
LOL zoogerians convincing and assuring themselves that they are somehow sophisticated human beings.The same uncivilized savages that chop off human heads and mine human skull in the quest of becoming millionaires ...PATHETIC *spits*

Keep deceiving your xenophobic self.

Why wouldn't your government put so much efforts on Hiv when you guys Bleep like animals and transmit it everywhere? Nigeria dealt with Ebola in one swoop even when it was ravaging other Neighbouring countries.

Quote me when you stop having the highest HIV population in the world. It is not by writing wishful memos.

GERALD710:
Slums, based on innacurate information.
Nigerians have an inflated sense of their entertainment industry.I come from coastal Kenya,we do not watch Nigerian movies.We watch Bollywood and Hollywood.
Indians have little power in Kenya.Kenya is defined by tribal politics.Indians are yet to be designated as a tribe, even though they clamor for it
As for Whites in Kenya, they are a virtual non entitiy these days.Politically and economically, they are dwarfed by the Government of Kenya.
As for African cultures, the Maasai culture is one of the most recognizable form of African culture out there.Whether you go to China, the US or the UK, the Maasai are known.
Nigerians are associated with the 'Nigerian Prince 'culture and the drug culture.
In my own country, you have brought us this drugs nonsense!

Hbuyosh:
I said "developed" in the African comtext, (duh! Whatever that means!)

Indeed were it not for the past challenges Nigeria experienced, which begun shortly after independence, the country would have been really far ahead today. Mistakes were made, it is good that it is now trying to rectify the errors of the past.

Sorry if I said anything out of turn.
