Random Number, here is another road that you think is Thika Road.

What ground up - when British handed you oil - what an idiot. I don't excuse kenya under-development. We are not poor because we didn't have white head start or people. We are poor because 1) we breaded like nigeria rats 2) We had leadership/corruption/governance challenges 3) we got screwed by Oil boom ( that should have benefitted Nigeria but look at you now) for most of 1970s & 1980s 3) We had lots of illiterate & sick people.

Right now we are on the right track. We took care of pop growth by investing in family planning - and that is starting to pay off. We are taking care of leadership & corruption - ongoing challenge but our quality of leadership is way better than Nigeria. We invested massively in education & health services - and it reflecting. We are investing in infrastructure - I am not sure what more Brits left us - because they left us with as much rail as any other country.

Nigeria are yet to figure this out.

We are not making excuses but you are. We are stating facts, Kenya did benefit more than we did from colonial rule and you should be close to South Africa level by now if you were as smart as you claim . We had to start from the ground up unlike you .

This is a very useless neighborhood, you can't compare it to Mountain View. The problem with Nigerians is you don't understand what landscaping is. In Kenya, the richest neighborhoods are green with grass rather than concrete jungles. The Estate you posted would for a lower middleclass Estate in Nairobi like Buru Buru. The one I posted is High End. Notice the greenery in Muthaiga below - Muthaiga and Karen rank among the world's highest end neighborhoods. I don't live in Muthaiga but I'll live there someday. Muthaiga or Karen.

1. Muthaiga.

2. Karen

The more concrete the more beautiful in Nigeria. No wonder Dangote has made a fortune. Elsewhere the more greenery - the better. You can see from their pictures - their cities look grainy - from all the pollution - without carbon sinkers like trees or grass. Too much carbondioxide.

Your Estate is more like Makadara in Nairobi, not even Buru Buru. Makadara is low class, Mountain View is Upper Middle Class and High Class. You can do your Math - Comparing Mountainview to that is an abomination.

I wonder why Nigerians and Tanzanians love to insist on this. In 1960 - Nigeria GDP was $4.2 billion and Kenyan GDP was $0.79 billion. Nigeria's GDP was 5.3 times Kenya's. 58 years later, our GDP is $88 billion and theirs is $374 billion. Theirs is 4.2 times ours. You then wonder when they tell you the white man left us in a better position than them.

Meanwhile, in 1960, Tanzania had a bigger GDP than us and now we are almost doubling them yet they'll say the white man left us better.

Nigerians believe that every thing good in the African continent was done by whites
They dont believe the black race can achieve something good
That is why they shout onyimbo every time
The whites left nairobi as a plantation

Nigga 99% Kenyans city out side Nairobi gat no roads, bad drainage systems, no side walks and purely slums

rvp20182:
[s]The problem here is not per capita; it the gov revenues to repay that debt; our national budget is bigger than your federal budget; total combined state+federal budget for nigeria is 40B; kenya is 35B; but look at revenue side of things; and you'll know why you're in debt crisis and we are not.

We easily collect about 20B dollars from taxes (15B) and another 5B from AIA - so we are fine.

Look at your revenues collectons - all 36 states generates only 3B dollars - your federal gov generates about 10-15B dollars including from oil earnings.[/s]

You're in a bigger trouble. And this is not the first time - you've been through this again.

What is considered whether a country is in debt crisis is the debt to GDP ratio not those gibberish you wrote. Kenya's is more than 50% nigeria is about 19%, one of the lowest in the world!

So tell me how Nigeria is in more trouble than Kenya.

GDP doesn't pay taxes. They haven't considered Nigeria with WORLD WORST tax to GDP. What will you pay your external debts - GDP or Revenues. When you eventually cash your GDP - let us know. We would love to see that big 400B dollar cheque.

Oooh really? Let's see what 99% of Lagos looks like.

Now we are out of Nairobi. That too is changing. There are 30,000kms under construction in kenya - about 10,000 nearing completion - about 20,000kms under construction soon - rural, urban and highways.

Are you mad? Is sururele a page from a paper?

?

Ibrahimanis:

Per capita, right. OK let's do debt per capita, sounds like fun.

Nigeria's debt 74bn = 370

Kenya's debt 50bn = 1000.

Wow, you guys better start working your ass off! Each of you owe 1000 dollars!

But genius we're handling TWICE your total cash which shows whose economy is in better shape! Which means our debt is payable though of course you'll keep wanking yourself to sleep dreaming of Chinese taking over our infrastructure. Stay asleep!

NIGERIA RANKED AMONG THE 10 MOST USELESS PORTS IN THE WORLD

Your port is worthless than a used tissue paper.

https://punchng.com/again-ghana-chad-others-beat-nigeria-on-strength-of-port-ranking/

Findings by The PUNCH showed that Nigeria came 62nd in 2006, 64th in 2007, 67th in 2008 and has continued to decline in comparison with other nation.

In the latest ranking, Nigeria now trails behind Ghana (77), Rwanda (84), Guinea (82), Mali (83), Togo (83), Senegal (82), Chad (85), Benin Republic (80), Cameroon (90) and Central African Republic (89).

Check out Eastligh,Nairobi a place that generates over 25% Nairobi's revenue

You're in a bigger trouble. And this is not the first time - you've been through this again.

Stop telling lies coz it can never be the truth no matter how long you repeat it


First and foremost. Nigeria has 3 tiers of government. So total budget is

Federal + state(36) + local government (774) + FCT(Abuja)


Firs generated over 5 trillion and is projected to reach 8 trillion this year which is about the federal budget and customs generated 1.5 trillion projected to reach 2 trillion and oil revenues and revenues from other sectors are not included. Federal government of Nigeria is heading for a very crazy budget surplus this year

State governments have started increasing their igr by an impressive margin

FCT has for the first time gotten some financial autonomy from the Federal government and revenues are increasing

The local government budget are above 2 trillion


The first screenshot pertains to only the federal government not inclusive of state or local government

The last screenshot doesn't Lagos and cross Rivers and one other state which should push to above 17 trillion exclusive of local government of about 2 trillion that should be around 19trillion. Still below par but waay above yours

Victoria is a very tiny island indeed.

Have you ever been there before? It's about 85% the Size of Manhattan.it continues to expand due to land reclamation

One time you say Nairobi is only developed at the CBD and Westlands and next time you say Eastleigh contributes 25% of Nairobi's revenue. Are you mad?

How did I crop the location?
You love excuses, I'll call you excuse man. Here are more Lagos photos.

I am actually having a very easy time, I just zoom anywhere in Lagos and the result is pathetic.

Jonraid:
Yet again this year they are having a budgetary crisis.Their projections are strongly tied to price of oil per barrel. This dependacy on oil is detremental to Nigeria's economy! It's about guess work,low oil prices should be good for Kenya as we will lower our oil import bill hence easing inflation in our economy!

You wish

Customs and firs are going to fund the federal budget to an excess this year even without crude

Here is what Tiny streets look like in Ngara, Nairobi.

And you're the biggest slowpoke here. Lagos I actually checked is very tiny - if you remove the water - you're talking about 40-60Kms - semi circle. Narobi is nearly 40-60km full circle.

There is massive land reclamation in every corner of Lagos from the Lagoon to the ocean. Lagos land mass expanding while Nairobi can't. Banana island was created from the lagoon. Many more reclamation projects
Diamond island u/c
Gracefield island u/c
Orange island u/c
Eko Atlantic(the same size as Manhattan)
Ikoyi and lekki are also expanding with land reclamation

It's best not to worry about the landmass of Lagos. It's continually expanding
