Kenyanstar:


Nigeria GDP-521B US dollars
Kenya GDP-55B US dollars

Nigeria Population- 180m
Kenya Population- 45m

Poverty rates
Nigeria- Poverty has risen in Nigeria, with almost 100 million people living on less than a $1 (£0.63) a day, despite economic growth, statistics have shown. The National Bureau of Statistics said 60.9% of Nigerians in 2010 were living in "absolute poverty" - this figure had risen from 54.7% in 2004 to almost 70% in 2015.

Kenya- Poverty headcount ratio at $1.90 a day (2011 PPP) 42% of Kenyans live below the poverty, Kenya is a country of many contrasts, from its landscape to demographics, and more so its social and economic inequalities. Forty two percent of its population of 44 million, live below the poverty line.

Road Network

Nigeria- Total area 923,768 km2
Total: 194,394 km
paved: 60,068 km (including 1,194 km of expressways)
unpaved: 134,326 km
note: Some paved roads have lost their asphalt surface and are in very poor condition or have reverted to being gravel roads. Some of the road system is barely usable, especially in high rainfall areas of the south.

Kenya-Total area 582,650 sq km
Total:160,886 kilometres of roads.
Paved:13,900 kilometres of this are paved.

The genesis is that despite Nigeria being among the few African countries with the biggest oil and natural resources it has failed to use its revenues to benefit its people.

kenyas GDP IS 70BN$

SECONDLY SWITZERLAND HAS A GDP OF 245bn$ and China has 11trn$ but you cant compare their lives

Well this is not news, I experience the exact same thing with my work.

Also it doesn't prove the fact that we have Naija based manufacturers in the thousands.

Their products are patronized by Nigerians but despised to a certain degree by govt officials mainly due to corruption.

Now go chew on this fact that one of your own just decided to quit Nigeria bcuz ,in Chief Eric Umeofia's own words, some key government agencies to deny foreign exchange allocation to indigenous companies in preference for foreigners have left many Nigerian companies struggling or closing shops in recent times.

Take the big log outta your eye 1st before you lecture kenyans on how to treat other Kenyans or indeed Africans or how strong your failing institutions are.

Mehn nobody cares which wars your people have been in. Get off the forum if e dey pain you.

When was the last time there was a coup in Naija though??

How do you think Moi was able to rule for 24 years, because your armed forces are largely split into 2 major groups, the Kalenjin and the Kikuyu most of whose interest aligned perfectly with his. Mind you, Kenya did not become a multi party state until the Kikuyus rebelled against Kalenjin-Nandi military hegemony over the country's politics.

Nigeria has had a lot of coups because well, we are not cowards, some dickward cannot come from no where and decide to rule past his tenure, things like that don't fly in this side of the world.

Also consider that Naija is a lot more diverse than Kenya will ever be. so move on!

The british recruited upto 250,000 kenyans to fight in

Burma

First of all, Nigeria has refineries, the legal ones have been poorly maintained over the years while the working ones are illegal since the fuel importers are a cartel of ill meaning Nigerians who do not care about the populace.

Hopefully all that makes sense to you.

British Airways decided to set their west african base in Ghana ----because Nigeria is not an imperialist tool where an empire can just dump a military base in and commit its atrocities in them.

How many Rwanda Genocide perps hide in Kenya?
In short how many Darfur genocide perps hide in Kenya?
The Somali warlards, where do they spend their genocide money? Kenya.

Do you know why? because your govt are just as evil as African govts are, not that Naija's govt is better but you get my point.

Emily Hobhouse tells the story of the young Lizzie van Zyl who died in the Bloemfontein concentration camp: She was a frail, weak little child in desperate need of good care. Yet, because her mother was one of the "undesirables" due to the fact that her father neither surrendered nor betrayed his people, Lizzie was placed on the lowest rations and so perished with hunger that, after a month in the camp, she was transferred to the new small hospital. Here she was treated harshly. The English disposed doctor and his nurses did not understand her language and, as she could not speak English, labeled her an idiot although she was mentally fit and normal. One day she dejectedly started calling for her mother, when a Mrs Botha walked over to her to console her. She was just telling the child that she would soon see her mother again, when she was brusquely interrupted by one of the nurses who told her not to interfere with the child as she was a nuisance. Quote from Stemme uit die Verlede ("Voices from the Past"wink - a collection of sworn statements by women who were detained in the concentration camps during the Second Boer War (1899-1902)

Alright guys, this argument has gone on waay too long so I have a confession.

Quick background, I did school in Nairobi, I went to St. Christopher's in Ngong Rd then to USIU.

Over the years, I have always thought Kenya is a more comfortable place to live in for one reason; stable electricity.

So my final take is this;

Forget the stats about imports or exports o GDPs or Slums, Ports, Projects, etc

If you have ever lived in both countries (for an appreciable number of years, which I have), this conclusion should not shock you.

Kenya has stable electricity, Nigeria doesn't and its killing our way of life, our economy even our politics.

Otherwise, I sincerely believe Nigeria has a much more stronger institutions than Kenya, its just what it is.

Nigeria is more diverse than Kenya how?
Nigeria may have over 200 ethnic groups but you all belong to two main groups .The Afro Asiatics in the north and the Savannah and Forest tribes who one cannot differentiate from each other.
Kenya is home to 4 distinct African groups.
Bantus , Cushites, Nilotes and NiloHamites.
Kenya is home to White Africans(Britons who gave up British citizenship for Kenyan citizenship), A large Italian population at the coast as well as many Germans.
Kenya is home to a large Arab population whose oldest coastal settlements date to 325 B.C older than even African settlement.
Intermarriage between Arabs and Africans gave birth to the Swahili community.
And of course we have Kenyan Asians .Who are truly Kenyan.
The current Indian Central Bank Governor is a third generation Kenyan Asian. He got so many abuses from Indians for being a 'Swahili speaking foreigner imported from East Africa' and the Indian parliament questioned the appointment of a 'foreigner' at the Central Bank.Because Kenyan Asians have no castes, many have intermarried across ethnic lines and speak Swahili and many (like the ones in Kisumu) speak the local luo language.

As of the matter of trade. In about 3 years, Nigeria(and West Africa at large) will be locked out of trading with much of East, Central and Southern Africa.
The idea right now is that the three largest diversified economies of Africa have diecided to lock in the largest trading blocs on the continent for themselves.
It is no mere coincidence that South Africa(largest in the SADC) Egypt(largest in COMESA) and Kenya(largest in EAC) are leading the talks for the Tripatriate Free Trade Area that will merge all three blocs into one mega trading bloc.
One of the things it has adopted from COMESA is the 25% Duty on all manufactured items from outside the TFTA meaning Nigeria and ECOWAS by extension cannot export competitively to the TFTA,thus Nigeria, which only has a small presence in terms of trade in East and Central Africa will not have any presence at all as Egypt, Kenya and South Africa lock in the three blocs for themselves.

Kenya does not host anyone from Darfur. We barely have any relations with Sudan. Kenya's relations are with SOUTH Sudan which has nothing to do with Darfur.
Somali Warlords have never been hosted in Kenya. Their money has found its way in Kenya but they cannot show themselves physically in the country. Even during the 2006 Somali elections (which were held in Kenya, not Somalia)did they attend.
Last I checked, there has only ever been one Rwanda Genocide perpetrator who has ever lived in Kenya .Rwanda Genocide perpetrators live in the DRC as they are French speaking and would easily stand out in Kenya, which speaks English.

And which 'institutions' are these
Manufacturing?? Nope. Nigeria hosts the record of being the only country where even Chinese factories cannot operate (ZTE shut down its factory in Nigeria) reason:Epileptic electricity. Nigeria, a crude oil producer imports fuel from Ghana. Up to 2013, Kenya refined imported cride and even exported refined fuel to Uganda
Banking??Nigeria's banking is BIG.Bigger than Kenya no doubt. But by far less sophisticated than Kenyan banking. Its like American banking and Swiss banking. The former is big, but still uses magnetic stripe cards to date. Nigeria is the country where because of lack of electricity, the introduction of ATMs in the late 80s backfired and they only made a comeback in the early 2000s. Kenya's ATMs were introduced in 1983 and have been there all through.
Transport??Nigeria does not even have a National carrier. And how many times has the country been on an airline blacklist Kenya's Kenya Airways may have its own profitability issues the past two years but one thing the KQ airline has never compromised is quality .
Plus Murtala Mohammed Airport looks like an 1890 US steel behemoth .
And last year most airlines could not land in Nigeria because of all things, fuel shortage??You know there are some things that defy logic because Kenya, an oil importer has never had shortages on the scale Nigeria, a fuel producer, has had. The worst shortage that Kenya has ever had was due to pipeline failure leading to the Western parts of the country missing fuel rather than there being an actual fuel shortage!!
Is it Tourism??
Is it security??Kenya has its security challenges, yet we do not have half of our country hating and slaughtering the other half like Nigeria.Yes, we hear of the ever permanent war between Fulani herdsmen and farmers and how Kaduna Muslims imposed Sharia law in a state that is 45% Christian. Or how in a turn of Hypocrisy, Hausas demand representation in Jos, where they are not native but can never allow native Christians in Northern Nigeria the same let alone Christian migrants in the South the same representation.Nor do we have a terrorist group composed of native Kenyans holding territory within our own country like Boko Haram(Because Al Shabaab is a SOMALI oranisation and it launches its attacks from Somalia as it has no area of control in Kenya).
So which' institutions" are these??

This response shows how narrow minded you are presently but no worries, we have been there.

When I first arrived Kenya, I thought all Kenyans look exactly the same with the ridiculously large foreheads.

The longer I stayed, the more the physical differences became clear.

If you must know, a typical Naija Northerner is tall, dark, lanky and has curly hair. His skin is like a Southern Sudanese skin but his hair is curly like the Somalis (not all that curly).

Goodluck Jonathan, the former president is an Ijaw from the South, does he look anything remotely like Moha Buhari who is a Fulani from the North the current president? The latter basically looks like a Somali dude on a typical day.

You are not even worth the data am spending on this argument bro.

In fact most of your core banking software consultants are eitherr Indian or Nigerian.

Stronger religious institutions (RCCG, Winners, all have parishes in Kenya)

Manufacturing (visit Aba, go to Katsina see the rice farms, largest in Africa, visit Ondo, see the large cocoa farms, Innoson Motors Enugu, and more)

Nigeria, a crude oil producer imports fuel from Ghana. Up to 2013, Kenya refined imported cride and even exported refined fuel to Uganda
Banking??Nigeria's banking is BIG.Bigger than Kenya no doubt. But by far less sophisticated than Kenyan banking. Its like American banking and Swiss banking. The former is big, but still uses magnetic stripe cards to date. Nigeria is the country where because of lack of electricity, the introduction of ATMs in the late 80s backfired and they only made a comeback in the early 2000s. Kenya's ATMs were introduced in 1983 and have been there all through.
Transport??Nigeria does not even have a National carrier. And how many times has the country been on an airline blacklist Kenya's Kenya Airways may have its own profitability issues the past two years but one thing the KQ airline has never compromised is quality .
Plus Murtala Mohammed Airport looks like an 1890 US steel behemoth .
And last year most airlines could not land in Nigeria because of all things, fuel shortage??You know there are some things that defy logic because Kenya, an oil importer has never had shortages on the scale Nigeria, a fuel producer, has had. The worst shortage that Kenya has ever had was due to pipeline failure leading to the Western parts of the country missing fuel rather than there being an actual fuel shortage!!
Is it Tourism??
Is it security??Kenya has its security challenges, yet we do not have half of our country hating and slaughtering the other half like Nigeria.Yes, we hear of the ever permanent war between Fulani herdsmen and farmers and how Kaduna Muslims imposed Sharia law in a state that is 45% Christian. Or how in a turn of Hypocrisy, Hausas demand representation in Jos, where they are not native but can never allow native Christians in Northern Nigeria the same let alone Christian migrants in the South the same representation.Nor do we have a terrorist group composed of native Kenyans holding territory within our own country like Boko Haram(Because Al Shabaab is a SOMALI oranisation and it launches its attacks from Somalia as it has no area of control in Kenya).
So which' institutions" are these??
