What much has changed within those 7 short years? Has Nigeria been experiencing dramatic economic growth and falling in poverty levels? Nigeria for one has been going thru some serious economic upheveals, any intelligent observer, even with the minimum grasp of economics would conclude that the standerds of living have taken quite some battering as a result.

AfDB hasnt released another study on the matter since 2010- or rather, I am not aware if they have, thus my having to use that 2010 data. U can display the latest data if u have them. Meanwhile........Kenya is ahead of Nigeria in terms of the percentage of the middle class group. But in terms of the absolute numbers, u definately have more, all thanks to your much larger population size.

WIZGUY69:


Have searched and searched.. but I can't seem to find anything tangible..
I guess there's nothing there really..

iblawi:


Nigeria have been growing at an average of 6% yearly and you are asking what has changed? Everything has changed bro and Nigeria equally became the largest economy in Africa within those 7 years. The entertainment sector, agricultural sector, telecommunications sector, education sector, etc everything change bro?

Hatred make you blind.

Jay254:


That drop is huge Only an amorphous economy can do that...

Dude
1.Port Harcourt basically....Stinks. The place smells of fish and crude everywhere.Please do not say it is because of the oil industry.Mombasa has a refinery and imports pertoleum products for the entire region and does not smell like that.
2.Can you show even a single beach on Port Harcourt.And I mean a beach, not a sand collection site like virtually all beaches in West Africa, save for Senegal ,look like. Because they are all composed of rough yellow sand, the one used in construction.
Ours are made of sugar white soft powdery coral sand
The place is all mangrove(which we have in Mombasa, in creeks, not at the beach.And the beaches are littered everywhere!!

3.Port Harcourt has better transport facilities than Mombasa.That I very much agree!!Mombasa does not have a mono rail.However, the road system is currently being upgraded and so is the commuter rail system.
But on an estate level, Port Harcourt is a big FAIL.Most estates are covered with dirt roads.Mombasa as of 2015, is more than 70% carbopaved
4. Port Harcourt has better health amenities than Mombasa
Lawd!!!In Nigeria, not even Lagos measures up to Mombasa in terms of health facilities, leave alone Nairobi.Nigeria's health sector both public and private is CRAAAAAAAAP!!!
5.Port Harcourt has better city and more highrise than Mombasa. The last two pages showed 25 highrise already top up with others already on ground. Pls, take note that highrise is defined as structure with 12 and about floors.
No it does not.Who told you Mombasa's high rises are concentrated in the CBD alone
Port Harcourt has better vibrant Estates than Mombasa.}
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!Woooooi!!I actually come from Mombasa, we live side by side Arabs,Swahilis,Coastal Africans,Asians and more recently, Europeans like the Brits ,Italians and Germans.
Port Harcourt is dominated by one community, the Ijaw followed by Ibos, all dark skinned fellows, making the place look boring and very very very very very very very!!! Poor English!!!
Port Harcourt has better Sport amenities than Mombasa .
Yes it does.Our staduim construction has been delayed for several years now.
Port Harcourt has more refineries than Mombasa
You mean refineries that have not been working since the 1970sDude, who are you trying to fool We all know Nigeria has been importing fuel despite it being a crude oil producer.The entire Africa knows!!!
We had a functioning refinery until 2013 and according to the BBC, West African fuel is 'Dirty fuel' imported from Europe.The fuel in East Africa is actually the cleanest on the continent!! We actually made several reformes in 2005 where we banned dirty fuel.Meanwhile even plastic bottles in Nigeria are not safe!!http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-37373414
As for Industries in Mombasa.Mombasa is the second most industrialised city in Kenya and the third in East Africa. A simple google search gives you 3000 resultshttps://www.google.com/search?q=Mombasa+Industries&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b#q=Mombasa+Industries&rflfq=1&rlha=0&rllag=-4060012,39656432,940&tbm=lcl&rldimm=6504144230609431674&tbs=lrf:!2m1!1e2!2m1!1e3!3sEAE,lf:1,lf_ui:2
So what are you talking about Mombasa has the largest Dockyard on the continent after Durban.We actually do ship repairs here!!


Port Harcourt has better public schools than Mombasa
Lawd!!!At no point has Nigeria's public school system ever been superior to that of Kenya at primary or secondary level.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Index
So No.
Plus Mombasa's public schooling is waaaaaay above even that of most Nigerian cities. Leave alone Port Harcourt.

TayserMahiri:



Not to argue but I hope you know that nigeria became largest economy after rebasing. Its not like you grew in leaps and bounds

TayserMahiri:


Have you been there?

What happened to Ednite?

vaxx:
sugomu supo. Wikipedia put aramco revenue on 311billion dollars and value the net worth of aramco to be over 10 trillion dollar. My question is this to you apoda omo kekere. If nigeria finish its expenditure from 54 billion dollar revenue how much will be left out. Saudi arabia is richer than samsung even if it earn 300billion dollar. Saudi arabia gdp stand at 1 trillion dollar. Have you seen pe olodo ni e.

Khoda:


Ghana
Southafrica
Kenya.
A all better than NIGERIA in all ramifications.
Ur country is a joke.
What u know best is are crimes.
Yorubas and igbos with their internet scam rituals and drugs and raping of kids (paedophilia ) shame on u lots.

uzzyfire:
I'm sorry bro but these Kenyans and ghanains are very funny . imagine one of dem saying Nigerias GDP is false, I just have to laff

obaaderemi:
Is it not even hilarious?Ghana,kenya,south africa against only Nigeria.I don't know what to say but 'loooll.'

iblawi:


Do you know the reason for re-basing the economy? There were many sectors that were not reflecting in the old one. Most countries rebase economy after 2 - 3 year but Nigeria didn't rebase since 1992.

Hope this will make you sleep now

Hati13:

No! I will never set my foot in that rock Tigray region. Lol, I'm kidding.

She has changed her name to "Ednited".

NairobiWalker:


Stop comparing Nigeria to the USA. The USA has a GDP of $18 trillion that's why it's a world power. Nigeria has a GDP of $294 billion and peaked in 2014 at $584 billion. How can such a country be a superpower? You have a lower GDP than Singapore - can you consider Singapore a superpower? Stop comparing yourself with the US dude

vaxx:
abi eleyi o gbon nii. if you can not trust vanguard news on abuja poor road. You also can not trust nigeria stateman fani kayode. But you trust when he wrote against kenya. In hausa language we called you da nima.

obaaderemi:
Werey ma leleyi o! So because saudi's gdp is $1tr,you can admit that saudi is richer than samsung but Nigeria's GDP which stands at $490bn does not make nigeria richer than aramco which made just $118bn and paid 90% of it as tax.I put it to you once again that saudi's govt revenue is just$190bn,does that make samsung with $300bn richer than the whole of saudi?I am sure all of this is beyond ur empty coconut head.I'm sure others are enjoying your alarming ignorance as you try to dig yourself out of the hole you put yourself into.

TayserMahiri:



You shouldn't have rebased at all. Your initial gdp was reflecting on the ground but not the 500 bn dollar gdp.

TayserMahiri:


Why not?

NairobiWalker:


I would rather we have no billionaires but several millionaires and a very large middle class. That's real development.

Nowenuse:


Ji mn wannan dan iska. Haihuwan asara! Kana son ka zage ni da hausa? Ci uwar ka.

You do not even know hausa at all.

NairobiWalker:


You've seen no statistics buddy. In fact you no nothing about statistics and the economy. If you knew anything you'd realize all statistics indicate Nigeria has a bigger inequality than Kenya. Kenya's Gini = 42.5, Nigeria's Gini = 43 ..... oh, my bad. I forgot you don't even know what Gini is. Gini coefficient is an index used to measure wealth distribution. The higher it is, the more the inequality.

iblawi:

Do you want to tell me Kenya didn't rebase their economy after Nigeria did hers?

What was it reflexing on the Ground? Do you even know how many local companies came up in the last five years? The infrastructure and development? Even for the fact that Ogun state that was no were suddenly became the most industrialized state is enough to prove this.

You are now becoming irritating.

Hati13:

I'm just kidding. I really want to visit that historical place, where our fathers and mothers died for our freedom.
