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...

Neat, factual and constructive criticism. You are among the few on this thread that made sensible comment

MDsambo:
Everyone just hate Islam and Muslims

They have anger management issue.

God of mercy

Have mercy on your children. Things are really tough but we believe it will get better In Jesus Name.

Increase the price make we see if people no go burn filling stations.

Useless marketers and FG.

aresa:
1. Lagos was already developed before the FG picked Lagos as the FG and they picked Lagos state for obvious reasons, Lagos was already developed.


2. Lagos was already a developed entity even before Nigeria's became a country and before independence.

3. Lagos as the Federal capital was confined to Lagos island and not anything beyond cater bridge. Learn some social sturdies..

4. All the industrial estates in Lagos from ikeja industrial estate to Apapa industrial estate to Mushin, Matori, and Ilupeju industrial estates that developed Lagos state and made Lagos the commercial capital of Nigeria and west Africa was built by the western region under Awolowo and these industrial estates are still responsible for major chunks of Nigerian's industrial activities, goods and services. They were not in Lagos Island or built by the FG and they were even built before independence and Nigeria as a country.

5. FG did not do anything special for Lagos and in fact, they built 3 bridges and some worthless and neglected places like the national stadium in surulere and last time I checked, the FG built bridges and airports in other states so what's special about Lagos?

6. Lagos is what it is today and most importantly since 1999 because of good and credible leadership with strong managerial skills, good foresight and vision and not the FG.

7. To show you the meaning of great leadership with vision and foresight in Lagos, the Metro rail we are constructing now was under construction back in the 80s before it was terminated, but guess what, Lagos leaders from then till now did not give up and it's coming into fruition.

8. The first IPP in Nigeria was undertaken by Tinubu is Lagos and if the worthless and useless PDP FG didn't sabotage that 2721MW which is still active till today, we won't have power issues in Lagos and Nigeria. It's leadership and foresight..

9. We talk about Lagos and IGR today, but when Tinubu boosted Lagos IGR from common N500 to billions which allowed Fashola and now Ambode to have funds for the largest infrastructure revolution in Nigeria, many ignorant and hateful people with bad bele were badmouthing and shouting alpha beta and corruption, but guess who is having the last laugh, the people of Lagos raking in more IGR than even many countries in Africa.

10. Lastly, the FG did not manage Lagos state, Lagos state governors and Lagosians manage Lagos.

FG gov. doesn't tell leaders in Lagos what to build or spend their money on or what contract to sign or not sign, the FG did not make or advise Lagos state how to grown their economy, how to grow their IGR or where and howto invest their money, the decisions were made in Alahusa by the people of Lagos state.

Lagosians don't wait or beg the FG for anything, they role up their sleeves and go to work, they built the best and the most beautiful bridge in Nigeria and west Africa on their own while some people are still sitting on their hands for 30 years begging the FG for 2Nd NB.


The Nigerian Government didn't have the capacity and talent to manage and run a state like Lagos since they've been bad managers since independence.


Leadership in Lagos developed Lagos state.

Well said boss

It's even better for the to have their country so we can rest.

He doesn't need to blame the former govt because we know how wasteful they were. Kudos to PMB for clearing the buffoon's debt.

Please let's promote one Nigeria. We should learn from the jibes other countries are throwing at us.

The road is already capture in the current budget, so Fashola will do justice to implement it. With time, igbos will realise the current administration mean well for them.

No bro, you did not insult me. Just that your criticism is not constructive at all.

Dagaya:
This Buhari sef. This our president when it comes to arrest, he knows how to give order but when it comes to handling the economy, giving or directing good policies to positively affect the economy, his body language would suddenly be on the negative.

That tells me that he is very much clueless when it comes to understanding and handling Nigerian economy, but very aggressive when it comes to ordering arrest and probing.

This is Buhari's speciality. Arrest! Arrest!! Arrest!!!. Pls pa Buhari, try and arrest our economy.

It's either your comprehension is poor or perhaps u are extremely frustrated about life. Read your comment again and see if it correlates with the article.
