God pass them.
Despite all the ojoro they still lost

A legit goal cancelled as offside.
#UEFALONA refereeing at its best

A goal kick dubiously awarded as corner and BAM it's a goal.
#UEFALONA at its best

Evidence?

folks booking space all above

I hope he reads this post and likewise others unduly castigating the fatherland (out of share hatred for the President I guess)

The mobile money aspect caught my attention quickly.
He forgot that mobile money thrives in underdeveloped financial systems.

Mobile money is mainly about financial inclusion for the 'under-priviledged'.

We have Mobile banking which is advanced in all spheres. Our payment financial systems is as good as world class.

So I don't know why they feel having mobile money is better.

BTW we have mobile money in many facets. We have even advanced it further

This is just brazen ignorance and lack of any knowledge and understanding about your own country.

Lagos's GDP alone which is an ordinary state in Nigeria IS $131 Billion while Kenya's entire GDP is meager $63

And Lagos's GDP is almost free of oil money and can function easily without oil money

Lagos economy is the 7th largest in Africa, larger than 40 African countries economy so what's the meaning of the weak, inaccurate and baseless rubbish.


Lagos alone can buy and sell the whole of kENYA

Kenya, a country that lags behind an ordinary state is better than Nigeria economically?

Please confine such jokes to yourself..



Cuba has better life expectancy than the United States, but does it mean Cuba is better than the US? Are Cubans still not dying trying to cross the ocean to seek a better life in the US?

This is the lamest and thoughtless rubbish on NL in a long long time..



Of what relevance is this? The fact that they have a National airline and tourism means they are better?

We have 2 deep seaports under construction

We have $15 billion largest single refinery in the world under construction, largest petrochemical plant in Africa under construction, largest fertilizer plant, largest gas plant with 1000km under sub gas pipeline, we have thousands of KM rails system under construction or about to start.

Our $12 billion coastal rail system is the largest public works in Africa

Yes we have economic challenges, but Kenya is not anywhere close to even our shoes, not in a million years.



Should we start listing what we have that they don't have and can never have in a million years?

Lame argument indeed. There are better countries all over the world without National airline and tourism like Kenya, but does it mean kenya is better than them?



So what they have mobile money? What's this got to do with Nigeria?

Nigeria remains the largest E-commerce economy in Africa, something Kenya can not smell in many many decades to come.

Nigeria is far ahead of kenya in ICT so where is your Nigeria struggling from?

The most powerful ICT innovations in Africa emanated from Nigerians and created by Nigerians.

What are the ground breaking ICT innovations in Kenya?

We have eTranzact which is multi-channel electronic transaction switching and payment processing platform that already evolved into a multinational brand, rolling out products in 6 other countries including South Africa, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Cote d’Ivoire and United Kingdom


We have konga and Jumia, the largest ICT shopping platforms in Africa

We have PAGA, the largest mobile money operator in Africa

We have Wild Fusion, which the CEO Abasiama made Forbes‘ list of ‘Ten African Internet Millionaires to Watch’.

We have Mainstreet Technologies, developer of MainOne Cable, a submarine communications cable stretching from Portugal to South Africa with landings along the route in Accra, Ghana and Lagos, Nigeria.

We have Globacom

We have interswitch

We have Zinox

We have Gamsol

We have L5lab

We have Slot systems

Phase 3 Telecom

We have Computer warehouse group

We have HotelsNG

We have Wakanow

We have Anakle

We have Tsaobin

We have Courteville Business Solutions Plc


We have Jobberman, the largest ICT job recruitment platform in Africa, not Kenya

We have Iroko, Africa's NETFLIX and the largest entertainment streaming ICT platform in Africa, not Kenya

We have the largest ICT -E-commerce platforms in Africa, not Kenya

We command the largest ICT investments in Africa, not Kenya

Facebook CEO spent days in Nigeria and even returned to Nigeria to attend ICT events and dialogue with the Nigeria leadership, but he spent less than a day in Kenya.

Facebook and his wife's first ICT investment in AFRICA of $24 went to an ICT innovation company founded by a Nigerian and based in Lagos, Nigeria, not in Kenya.

We have the second or third largest movie production in the entire world, not Kenya





Frivolities is you and your half baked take on your own country, a half baked thought that says Kenya is better than your own country when facts on the ground claims otherwise.

We compete with SA, not little Kenya that's way way below our scale across the board..


I don't know where you people get this mindless self hate, self loathing, country hating, country bashing and unpatriotic attitude from, but it reeks ignorance and zero knowledge about your own country.


What a sad shame...

THANKS FOR THESE

I tried getting some other folks to realise same but they preferred the selective picture of the ministers.

worse still wrongly labelling Shittu as "ICT Minister"

And for the disgraced and discredited country hating and low self esteem Reno Omokri and his ignorant ipob followers, this is the man in charge of our ICT.

A great professional with strong ICT education and background.


I understand the ignorance and lack of intelligence of the bitter, angry and disgruntled ipobs, but Reno Omokri spent so many years in government, but sill dumb and clueless about Nigerian government and who is in charge of our ministries and agencies..


What a sad shame..

TonyeBarcanista:
I am giving you verifiable data. Nigeria's GDP is due to Petrodollar contribution, and even at that we can't even boast of the benefit on Nigerians or even our economy. In other words, though we were freely given OYEL wealth, we are still very poor while some few elite Rich. We lack basic amenities and infrastructure. Most Nigerians can't boast of light and water. We rake in $billion through Oil annually but because we lack infrastructure, plan or management, nothing can point to it.

Ideally, Nigeria should be competing with countries like RSA, Bahrain, Brunei etc. But we are in a league of South Sudan.

Even our currency is lower than Kenya's (a testament of their performing economy). Our Naira is chasing Zimbabwean dollar.

But compared with Kenya...

if the argument is around we shouldnt be talking of Kenya but far more uplooking countries I wont argue that then.

we are quite truely under performing but that still does not mean that Kenya is better off "in all aspects". At least to the best of my internet ability I have shown 3 points we are far better than them.

as per petro-dollar, You cant discountenance it. simply because it is part of it. why would we remove it since its our source of revenue.

Kenya last I checked is not as diversified too.
they also lack basic amenities too.
as per our currency we all now where our problem is coming from-over dependence on imported stuffs. this hopefully will change someday

MutantMetahuman:
do you know that Lagos economy is bigger than 3 west African country combined..

Ghana, Cameroon and Togo.


These mor0ns never appreciate what they have because awusa is ruling them.

I never liked the tweet war at all. it seemed silly to me.
But I still dont know the grouse of Kenya against Nigeria.

it pained more when fellow Nigerians joined in abusing their fatherland.
As much as I understand the pains of the present FG your homeland remains your homeland.

TonyeBarcanista:
It is even a shame that you are using GDP(Gross Domestic Product) when 75% of our GDP contribution can be attributed to oil under the soil. Even at that we lack Infrastructure, Highly indebted, poor health system, foreign and local investors are running away, poor security, and Very HIGH INFLATION of 17%. Nigeria don't even have National Carrier and import everything including TOOTHPICK. We can't boast of power nor feed our people.

Meanwhile, Kenyans are producers that rakes money through leadership, has good infrastructure (relative), nice money spinning tourism etc

common man,

lets play fair here.
you asked for facts and as far as I could I am trying to do what you do best PRESENT FACTS.

so far you have not shown any stats showing that Kenya has better economoy than Nigeria. National Carrier is not the yard stick bro.

we have (I believe) more local airlines plying our airspace than Kenya does--correct me if am wrong.

as per infrastructure... i never see your stats oo

MILITARY
@Tonyebarcanista

ECONOMY
@TONYEBARCANISTA

bros you make that small mistake ooo. check your write up again

TonyeBarcanista:
Where did you see your West Africa?

TonyeBarcanista:
You have started. in what way is Nigeria ahead of Kenya? stop this chest beating and present fact.

is it security? power? economy? infrastructure? technology? leadership?

Bros,

Na you talk say "in all aspects".

And I refuted you claim on ICT. You misjudged mobile MONEY as ICT in which the other leg of mobile BANKING we are even better off than Kenya.

SECURITY
POWER
ECONOMY
INFRASTRUCTURE

you did not say anything on those so I wont respond MUCH.

As per security we have BH and they have al-shabaaab and BTW BH and even NDA are now under control unlike al-shabaab.

you are btter off at digging stats so help out with stats that show they are better off at POWER, ECONOMY and INFRASTRUCTURE.

P.S
check upstairs someone showed the per capita GDP of both countries and we still TRUMPED them

ZKOSOSO:
Am wondering what power does a mere traditional ruler that Gov. Tambuwa can dethrone at his will have to declare a national Holiday?
Don't we have FGN? Don't we have a minister of interior? Don't we have SGF?

Are we operating a Sultanate Republic of Nigeria?

Pls someone help!

he did not declare a public holiday.

He decalred the day for eid.

the Fg will declare same day as public holiday.

he is the leader of muslims in Nigeria just as the President of CAN is the leader of Christians in Nigeria

TonyeBarcanista:
I am saddened by the continuous act of some of my compatriots to always engage in social media fight with fellow Africans, most notably our brothers and sisters from Ghana and Kenya.

It is even unfortunate that these countries Nigeria youths love to abuse on social media are doing better than our potentially great country in virtually all sphere despite the fact that we(as a country) have more revenues, potentials, and opportunities. If Nigerians are not aware of the superiority(in terms of living) of other Africans over us, I will have to educate them using Kenya as a case study.

While Nigerians have always pride in the self titled "African Giant" rhetoric, facts on ground shows otherwise. Though we generate more revenue than Kenya, which is 70% due to the gift of nature under our soil(Petrodollars), Nigerians still lag behind greatly in basic things when compared to the East African giant.

According to 2015 data from World Health Organisation, Nigeria's male and female life expectancy are 52years and 56 years respectively, meaning an average Nigerian is expected to die before he/she turns 60. Meanwhile, the expectancy for Kenyan male and female are 61 and 66 years respectively. Similarly, while Nigeria has the 10th highest infant mortality rate worldwide with average 72 deaths per 1,000 birth, Kenya's infant mortality rate is rated 52nd in the world with average 32 deaths per 1,000 births. This means it is safer to give birth in Kenya than in Nigeria, and an average Kenyan living in Kenya is expected to live longer than an average Nigerian living in Nigeria.

Though Nigeria has more tourism potential than Kenya, but Kenya is one of the choice destination for vacation in West Africa. While Nigeria managed to rake in $601 million as Tourism receipt(Revenue) in 2014, Kenya raked in $1.833 billion in the same year. Nigeria can't even boast of a National carrier meanwhile Kenya Airways, the National Carrier of Kenya boasts of 45 Aircrafts in their fleet with 4,000 workforce strength. In addition, Kenya Airways is reputed to be one of the best in Africa.

In Africa, Kenya is the leader of Mobile money. Nigeria is still still battling to get it right in the ICT sector with poor infrastructure, lack of power, lack of political will, and fantastically corruption.

At present Nigeria is experiencing recession in her economy, one would expect Nigerians to shun frivolties and seek for ways to turn the recession to prosperity instead of wasting productive hours fighting our African brethren over irrelevances. Why would one who is rationing his/her phone battery life due to epileptic power supply still spend the little battery life s/he got through his/her generator to abuse someone in Nairobi who is neither rationing his/her phone battery life nor is depending on generating set for power? There is no trophy or reward for social media fight, Nigerians should stop sending the wrong image to the world that our greatness lies in social media wars.


Nigeria is a great country with potentials, filled with great prospects, but we can never be great if we don't channel our time and resources to fix our country.

A word should be enough for the wise... May God Bless Us All, and Bless Nigeria

your title says "in all aspects" you listed only health and tourism.

As for the ICT, note that MOBILE MONEY is not a same as ICT. Nigeria is far ahead of Kenya in MOBILE BANKING as against MOBILE MONEY.

MOBILE MONEY thrives in kenya due to the absence of Commercial Banking infrastructure and integration of ePayment channels (MOBILE BANKING, ATM, POS, ONLINE PAYMENT GATEWAYS). These however is in advanced stages in Nigeria..

Nigeria is ahead of Kenya as a technology hub

AsoRockz01:
I am sorry bros. Please forgive and forget .

nowahala.

actually he later pointed me to the fact that Shittu is saddled with ICT in Nigeria.

I was wrong

AsoRockz01:
What's the work of ministry of communication ?
Ode ni.

some of you cannot just talk without insults?
and you expect a respectful response to the insult you just posted.

cindyrocks:
I don't hate anybody. I love them all.

yeah right.
Like Putin Loves America

Pavore9:
ICT is under him, going by his Ministry's website.

OK

Ellidude:
They can't even keep to the agreement reached upon by both parties. This is cluelessness on the government's part.

PENGASSAN did not say govt reneged on the agreement. its private companies they have issues with

why not get your members in those companies to down tools or picket them.

and leave out those that have complied to whatever agreement was reached to carry on business as usual.

or was it the FG that forced the signing of the agreement ? This PENGASSAN sef always wanting everybody to join in their personal fights.

Why want to punish Nigerians because of some other companies agreements and now put the blame at the foot of FG?

OR LIST OF 5 PEOPLE YOU PERSONALLY HATE THE MOST

no basis for the list just pure conjecture of your mind

cindyrocks:
Nigerians are very warm people but there are few people they just can't love and they never seize opportunities to display their hatred for such people.


Here is the list of 5 most hated people in Nigeria.

1. General Muhammadu Buhari :


Buhari is currently the President of Nigeria. Nigeria is undergoing a serious economic recession right now and there is so much hunger in the land. Though the ruling party (APC) is always quick to point blaming fingers at the past administrations especially the immediate past one, most Nigerians blame Buhari for the economic woes.

Pavore9:
That is Adebaya Shittu, the Minister in charge of ICT.

there is a certain minister of science and technology nah.
which I deem closer to what you seek

there is no minister of ICT as earlier posited by the OP
