Not in crime and collapse of infrastructure - definitely in many other things - south africa been going down for decade and half now- but it still 3 times bigger than kenya economic wise - and we want to do that in next 10yrs

But we see Alot of Kenyans claiming they want to reach SA levels in 10 years time,for them,SA is their role model.

We need to start editing pictures of Nigerian cities by adding a lot of highlight and saturation the way this little Indians do.


Think about it, there is nothing breathtaking about their cities aside the too much edit.

I think we should not be like them. We should keep ours real for everyone to see.

The reality is obvious - no amount of filters will turn a slumpolis around.

You are a cheat, stop posting pics of buildings and show us the true Nairobi infrastructure.

Fool, don't cry already. 90% of abuja pics are filter- patched.

The bad will still look bad, and the good will look better with filters or without. Even kibera will look worse with filters.

Look how you have painted your zoo with all kind of milky ways .. And yet it turned out to be extremely ugly.

Nairobi is plain beautiful.

There's no argument in this. Abuja is way ahead of your shitty Nairobi. Without filters Abuja looks more beautiful than your filter nairoslum.

Aren't these Nigerians gifted with filter powers like everyone else?

You seem to understand along with kikuyu1 the story of the migration of African tribes

I'm curious on your what your version is of the Bantu expansion theory.

What empire was built and destroyed to initiate migration on that scale?

We LOOONNG ago demolished the Bantu Migration Theory on ToT! The idea that Bantus in S Naij/ M Cameroon first developed Steel circa 1000 bc then expanded outward via the Congo Forest for some reason is complete B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T!?
It's, an invention, an extremely successful one to separate us from ancient Egypt and the ME.
Just think: they didn't build canoes and sail south down the coast but decided to trek across the impenetrable Ituri in small groups which conveniently leaves no trace. You do know of the 8000 yr old Dufuna canoe from Yobe not too far from the putative Bantu Homeland?
At the same time few if any Bantu oral history has a cultural memory of such a population transfer!

Here's the regional analysis of King Tut's fam. Our Kamba cousins to our drier NE also have ME origins.

Hobley, (1922) a colonial District Commissioner attributed the similarity of the akamba word for spirits with the Assyrian one as pure chance. He (Hobley, 1922, p.27) found that “Curiously enough, the disembodied spirit was called Edimmu by the ancient Assyrian according to R.C Thompson in “Semitic magic”. Hobley observed that the Assyrian word Edimmu (whose root is immu) is the same as the Kamba for the same concept. [/b]He stated that despite that similarity, there was hardly any evidence to show that the identity was “anything but accidental.” Hobley also noticed similarities of certain Kikuyu and Kamba customs to Egypt and Semitism. He dismissed them as due to ‘parallel development’ because, only the “Ba-Hima or Ba-Huma” (of Rwanda Urundi) are believed by one sir Harry Johnston to be descendants of ancient Egyptian settlers…”

The Cameroonian Bassa, a Bantu people have been identified as Tamil speakers by a Tamil!!

To fully understand African history first abandon the idea of tribes and or language groups. Those categories aren't as neat as we think. There's ALWAYS been cultural and genetic links across ALL African population groups-learning Kikuyu history taught me this.
A mere glance at a group of say 10 Kikuyus shows simultaneous Nilotic, Bambuti, OROMO and Semitic elements! I've even heard Naijjans here on this thread and in Nairobi wonder why we're Fulani.

Here are Niger Congo elements identified in the earliest Chinese dialect by Hong Kong uni.

The degrees of African-ness and Chinese-ness are evaluated, and African-style features arefound to be lurking throughout the Qiangic family. Similarities of word structure and wordlength between African and Qiangic languages are held responsible for the similarities.....
A close inspection of the tone system of the Mianchi dialectof Southern Qiang (SQ) shows that its tone system behaves more like a prototypical Africanlanguage than it does like Chinese, even though the tone system arose under heavy influence......
As this paper was nearing completion, I was made aware of Hyman (2007 [forthcoming]),in which African tonal features are reported in kuki-Thaadow, another Tibeto-Burman language........

http://sinica.academia.edu/JonathanEvans/Papers/167301/African_tone_in_the_Sinosphere

Their tonal type is more African than Chinese in 10 out of 12 respects ,specifically Dagaare ,spoken in Ghana as far as Burkina Faso. The language is of the Niger-Congo family.

I had pix of these Kuki Thaddou speakers on my hard drive and tab but IDKWTF happened- NADA!? Anyway, in the 1890s many of these Upper Burmese people looked Polynesian with frizzy hair and dark complexions. Now, though ofc assimilation with Chinese has bleached them out.
Let me leave with the Mangbetu from the middle of Africa. A Sudanic people they're famous for skull binding and their labial trill.

Only a few languages contrast voiced and voiceless bilabial trills phonemically – e.g. Mangbetu of Congo and Ninde of Vanuatu.

I've known 2 people over the years who clued me in as to how real life anthropological field teams actually operate.
One, a White American with so much black blood in an earlier era you'd think he was "passing" said many such teams are riddled with ACTIVE Intel agents. They steal, fake and/or deface their findings.
Another acquaintance, a BA female with an actual anthropology degree gave up over a decade ago. The professors are ALL on code: findings aren't just stolen,faked and/or defaced but hidden away to be shown at STRICTLY private exhibitions owned by their sponsors, usually the familiar names of biz moguls.
These are guys with personal 747s on standby!
Yes, they've their own secret societies, ala Skull and Bones, Scroll and Key etc,etc. It's all a private club of secret initiates- the billionaire sponsor who can fund a 6 month dig in N Iraq for 6 months incl armed security costing upward of 10 mn$, the Prof and eager student acolytes: all work to keep this knowledge to themselves.
IIRC, she personally knew of 6 ongoing private ME digs around 2005-2007.
On realising this she saw how lucky she was to graduate and left the field to try new things.
I'll ALWAYS rmbr her say " you wouldn't believe what they've found. The worst thing is they'll NEVER reveal it cause to do so would provoke unwanted questions."
Goodness, but this is long! Point being do your own research without being tied down by the ethnic or linguistic considerations of others.
But be careful- you may go far,far down the rabbit hole.....

Last night I was going through safaricoms yearly business report and for the sake of peace I won't go into much detail but let me give you a glimpse of what I'm talking about.

The data-driven digital economy in Kenya is rapidly growing and evolving as a result of expansions in mobile broadband networks such as 3G and 4G. As at the end of 2021, at least 94% of the Kenyan population was covered by 4G-network

That figure stands at 97% today for 4g and 98% for 2g and 3g. As for our brothers in the West.

According to the Nigerian Communications Commission, 4G is available to 37 per cent of the Nigerian population.

I think without getting into details - there is no doubt that jewish place in the map has led distortion of history - Europeans wanting to own Jews (before wanting to exterminate them next) - and therefore trying to delink them from it's semitic history. This of course of the Jewish history as successful people and the origin of Christianity...therefore like Ancient Egypt...many racist historians (pretty much everyone of them before genetics) tried to delink it from Africa.

Close home - there is no doubt genetically that Niger-Congo/Nilo-Saharan and Afro-Asiatic (Semites like jews, Arabs, Cushites, etc) is close - E1b1b and E1b1a are genetically older brothers - what people call Middle East and Africa are essentially genetically very close - Arab/Jew/African are closer than other races. Same way Indian and European are closer.

Of course, now we have more tools to use to study history; Linguistic; genetics; anthropology.

Where did they live - I think the most I have seen is somewhere in Chad and the Sahara when it was not a desert like now - then they obviously split into modern tapestry - as the Sahara dried up - the semites moving westward along the west nile (now buried) - then all the way to Arabia/Isreal - and the others following nile down south - an niger river down south.

As for Bantus - I hold the majoritarian view that they came from border of Cameroon and East of Nigeria - as cousins of Igbo-Yorubas - spread through eastern and southern africa.

Suffice to say because of jewish exceptional achievements as a people - everyone wants to be part of their history.

That figure stands at 97% today for 4g and 98% for 2g and 3g. As for our brothers in the West.

What's important is that Kenya not a bigger digital economy than Nigeria in terms of number of startups or performing digital firms even with the 94% 4G connectivity.

For example:

Nigeria generated more than $400 million worth of cryptocurrency trade in 2020, ranking third place after the United States and Russia.

Scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Kenya led in digital economy by far in many parameters.

Cyrptos

Kenya has the largest share of its population with cryptocurrencies in Africa, says the United Nations, pointing to the country’s exposure to the ongoing meltdown in the crypto market.

A report by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) says that 8.5 percent of the population or 4.25 million people own cryptocurrencies in the country.

This places Kenya ahead of developed economies such as the United States, which is ranked sixth with 8.3 percent of its population owning digital currencies.

War-torn Ukraine is ranked top, with 12.7 percent share of its population with cryptocurrencies, followed by Russia (11.9 percent), Venezuela (10.3 percent) and Singapore (9.4 percent

Again I don't know where you get your data from but our 4G coverage is not 37%.
Probably you are quoting old data. What I see is that Nigeria has improved 4G coverage from 23% to 77.52%.

“In August 2019, the broadband coverage was 33.7% and today it is 44.65%, representing close to 13 million new broadband users. There were 13,823 4G base stations and we now have 36,751, representing a 165.86% increase.
“The percentage of 4G coverage across the country also increased from 23% to 77.52%.

Digital Economy has embarked on the National Information and Communications Technology Infrastructure Backbone II, (NICTIB II) to connect 20 States with fiber optics that had not been connected in NICTIB I.”
What you should know

Recall that Nairametrics reported in July that The Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, Prof. Umar Danbatta, said that Nigeria’s broadband penetration recorded a quantum leap in the last 7 months from November 2021 to May 2022, with a record of 7 million new subscriptions.

Danbatta said: “Internet subscribers have grown from 90 million in 2015 to 150.36 million as of May 2022. Also, within the period under review, broadband penetration increased from 8% to 43.67%, indicating that over 83.3 million subscribers are on broadband networks of 3G and 4G. Indeed, between November 2021 and May 2022, the networks have added 7 million new users.”

I am seeing something like 55K Base Station Transceivers in Nigeria - while kenya has more than 100K.

-> There are over 103,000 3G/4G Base Station Transceivers in the country. The number of transceivers has increased from 42,000 in 2017 to over 103,000 this year.

>>
4G transceivers
Kenya’s top three telcos—Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom Kenya—have stepped up deployment of 4G transceivers across the country, increasing their number to 41,284 up from 31,914 within a year.

They also increased rollout of 3G transceivers to 103,822 up from 79,847 even as most remote parts of the country continue to grapple with the slow and unreliable 2G or without mobile coverage entirely.

Worry about your Government. You are borrowing to pay salaries and you are at risk of debt default. This is dangerous given the fact you import a lot and your reserves are not really high.

Sh162.2 billion of borrowed money on operating expenses such as payment of salaries and utilities in breach of the law.
Official records show the government borrowed Sh916.6 billion in the financial year 2021/22, which was Uhuru’s last full fiscal year in office.
The State’s recurrent expenditure has been growing rapidly in recent years due to the accumulation of debt repayments, civil servants’ salaries and wages as well as a growing pension burden.
The government spent Sh162.2 billion of borrowed money on operating expenses such as payment of salaries and utilities in the financial year to June in breach of the law, reflecting a biting cash crunch.

Kenya is lost. The post-covid issues will continue to mess up Kenya for a long time to come. Debt keeps rising, inflation is rising, climate change is affecting the country worse than most other African countries, the ksh is going down, etc. And you can't expect them to have a boom from any minerals. Minerals wouldn't really matter but in a continent like Africa where hci and investments are low, minerals matter. They absorb some of the shock.

“We now have Presidential approval for the 5G policy. In terms of density, 4G allows connection to about 1 million devices in 500 square kilometers, while 5G will allow the same number of devices in just 1 square kilometer. There are also very fast data rates of the 5G and more efficient energy usage.”
