Misinformation just to mislead the uninformed.

What you fail to say is that it has uninterrupted water and power supply only because its an oil island run by international oil companies who set up and run their own independent system to ensure supply for their operations .They know they can't rely on the epileptic public supply systems run by Nigerian authorities.

ritababe:


the question you should ask is if bonny island is in Nigeria or not, if no then u have a case if yes then u don't have any case.

so far so good, you can only compare Nairobi to port Harcourt.
Abuja and Lagos are miles ahead of Nairobi.

Last I checked rankings of Africa most beautiful cities Lagos and Abuja are still ranked above Nairobi and also
Lag GDP and per capita is even more than Kenya as a whole

Oxtonguy:
If you claim 80% of Ibadan are slum obviously you're biased,clueless and unreasonable what you term slum just old buildings with good road network,infact the Nairobi that I know is 9% international presentable 20% emerging and remaining are slums.just brown roofs don't denote slum

So this now a slum

GERALD710:

The second picture is what we call a SLUM in Mombasa ,Kenya. To us, a brown roof=Slum because they do not exist in any of our working class or middle class estates.
Slums cover just 5% of Nairobi. Nairobi slums have a lot of people but are hardly visible .

Kenyanstar:


So lets get down to the basics... One thing I agree with you is that:
NIGERIA
1. Nigeria has a bigger population than Kenya
2.Nigeria has a bigger GDP than Kenya
3.I think its only 1&2 only

KENYA
1.Kenya has free primary school education to all children
2.Kenya has free medical care to all children aged 5yrs & below
3.Kenya provides free maternity to all expectant mothers.
4.Kenya provide student loans to all university going individuals in both private & public university.
5.Kenya provides the cheapest electricity connection to all citizens in East & Sub Sahara africa.............50,000/= Naira

okay in welfare,nationhood,less corruption political stability you guys win,Nigerian has a higher GDP per capital but you have been avoiding that like a plague,you country is 34 million mine is 180 million I won't compare the whole thing I would go with the southern regions alone they just as the same population,that would be a more nicer argument let's just our of it.

Things about kenyattas
They are evasive that they would even call wikipedia a fluke
They only point you have been making all this while are from your imaginations,not a single proof to backup your points

Funny part when I checked Kenya economy and nigerian economy from wiki was that I couldn't read it pass all those tables Cox their economy is just so poor compared to Nigeria so I had to surf that of South Africa and there I read both SA and Nigeria from beginning till the end Cox btw the two there is a competition both running neck and neck....

Kenya is like tecno,nigeria is Samsung while SA Na apple
Kenya like Leicester,nigeria man u and SA man city

So pls for the last time stop talking about not having slums coz we know you gat a lot and I really can't see you exporting anything spectacular....

Just please like I did check your country economy via wiki and pls stop acting like an ignorant by saying wikipedia is a lie.....


Unemployment...you be boss

Kenyanstar:


Nigerians should learn to take defeat graciously.... In terms of infrastructure and development growth, South Africa is leap and bounds beyond Kenya. Kenyans accept and appreciate this fact thus necessitating it as a country to emulate the model the South Africans used to get their systems currently working. You wont find Kenyans bad mouthing South Africa over petty issues like pointing out that whites built the country to its current status.
Appreciating the strength of your opponent and learning from them is what any country should emulate, not pulling them down to your backwardness.
Nigeria has a big GDP, but does it translate into the common Lagosians, Abujans financial status? No!
Nigerians GDP provides a falls sense of per capita to the general population of Nigeria if only the entire 520B ends up in the pocket of 5% of the entire population. How comes of the 30m Lagosians 80% live in informal settlements/slums while its GDP of the city is bigger than Kenya as a country.
Its time Nigeria accepted that it makes no sense to talk big on figures and numbers while the ground gives a totally different reality.

KenyaMan111:


We aren't an exporting powerhouse like Nigeria, this isn't the way to reach prosperity because eventually no one will want oil. That's not what we're claiming, idiot. We're known to trade and rely on our market, hence why we have so many malls. Our annual growth rate has passed Nigeria, which means even with all that oil, you're still below us when it comes to actual growth. Perhaps you should stop looking at how much money you guys make and start looking at the bigger picture like how all of that money is kept by a few people, and ordinary Nigerians don't even get to so much as breathe on it.

KenyaMan111:


You don't know how GDP per capital works, it's an average,

I hate to get mathematical, but I'll try to explain as basically as possible but this is how it works.
Let's say person A gets $100,000
Person B gets $0 now divide that wealth by the both of them
The average is instantly $50,000
This doesn't mean every person is getting $50,000
It just means your Nigerians elites are making way "tooo" much money so they bring up the entire average drastically.
The most recent polls I can find explicitly states that 155.6 million people live in under $5. That's about 60% of your population
The other 30% are living like gods making roughly 4-10 billion each, thus bringing the average up and giving people a false perception of what's really happening, including Nigerians themselves.
Go boycott those 30% and demand everybody get $3,001.51 like the stats claim falsely.
If you think about it for an empirical standpoint, it just means you have nicer buildings and restaurants, which adds into the delusion of grandeur and make you guys feel supreme, but are really living like Somalis.

u keeping bitching about the Nigerian,do you we have a higher GDP per capita than you guys,even if your small and homogenous population,are u saying Nigeria don't have middlemen?,check out wealth in each states,this wealth inequality and massive only exist in our northern region ,still we have a GDP per capita but u just can't stop bitching,I HAVE absolutely nothing against Kenya or its people but ur desires to point out massive in the whole of nigeria is making you stupid.

That's not the way to talk to the new kings of Africa, boy. Also quit looking at minor cities and look at Nigeria as a whole, perhaps that'll help you fight the issue you so desperately want to avoid. Anybody can point out small cities act mighty, my friend.

It's obvious biased propaganda, and they're probably looking at a small portion of Nigeria, or they probably twisted the wording. when the Vice President himself claims 110 million people live in poverty.
Is the Vice President lying or is the analytical school lying? I don't trust anything analytical information coming from there.

It's all in good fun, I hope you guys handle your problems well, I truly want Nigeria to succeed (: acting like the issue doesn't exist is not

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.

The bureau predicted this rising trend was likely to continue.

Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil producer but the sector has been tainted by accusations of corruption .

According to the report, absolute poverty is measured by the number of people who can afford only the bare essentials of shelter, food and clothing.

https://www.ruralpovertyportal.org/web/rural-poverty-portal/country/home/.../nigeria

Some 70 per cent of Nigerians live on less than US$1.25 a day. Poverty is especially severe in rural areas, where up to 80 per cent of the population lives below the poverty line, and social services and infrastructure are limited. The country's poor rural women and men depend on agriculture for food and income.

https://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/nigeria_statistics.html

Despite Nigeria's plentiful agricultural resources and oil wealth, poverty is widespread in the country and has increased since the late 1990s. Some 70 per cent of Nigerians live on less than US$1.25 a day.

chebeoc:
Even if 110m nigerians are poor, it's still have more than 70m that are living well and that's almost twice the population of kenya. The problem with these people is that they reason like kids which is what they are. if not, how can they compare economy of 450b$ to their 70$? Just like because china has the second largest population of poor people then singapore will bragging to them, meanwhile everything singapore have china had it times five.

Bifwoli:


Your oft repeated double standards to the rescue AGAIN.

If something works better in Kenya,South Africa or Zimbabwe the claim is always "oyinbo has done it" .If its in Nigeria's case then its simply in Nigeria and thats all that matters so you don't have a case.

Poverty in Nigeria

Absolute poverty in Nigeria (earning less than a dollar a day) has increased from 55% in 2004 to 61% in 2014 and 71% in 2016 in contrast; there are almost 16,000 millionaires currently living in Nigeria representing less than 1% of the population, a 44% increase in the last 6 years. This is expected to grow to 23,000 by 2017, which represents a 47% increase. In Lagos, which is Africa’s most populous city, wealth inequality is most prominent and is home to 9,500 of these millionaires out of a population of 30m. These figures represent a huge issue with wealth distribution in the country and are attributed to a number of factors embedded within the Nigerian culture, system and policies.





Contributing Factors

The main factors that contribute to wealth inequality in Nigeria are corruption and high governance costs.

Corruption

Corruption is a major issue that is contributing to the increasing wealth gap between the rich and poor in Nigeria. Corruption has been ever present since the country’s independence in the 1960’s and it now seems to be an issue that is embedded within the Nigerian system and culture.

Cost of Governance

As long as corruption is embedded in the system, the cost of governance will continue to remain high. A report by the Sahara Reporters in 2012 found that it costs Nigerians $8.3 billion to pay the salaries of those in politics. In 2012, $7.4 was to be spent on developing infrastructure, but only half of this was spent towards its development. To put this into perspective, it meant that for every dollar spent on infrastructure development in Nigeria, two dollars are spent on salaries of those in politics.

CONCLUSION
16,000 dollar millionaires in comparison to 180m population
Nigeria spends more money on paying 5000 politicians than on 180m people
Nigeria has the worst economic implementation system
Nigeria has the biggest wealth disparity vis a vis GDP

Everyday this low-lifes will come out spamming this site with kenya have this and that. In Nigeria 98% of people here take kenya as backward jungle and i don't think it's going to change. If you people like tell your government to put advertisement of your country on Cnn nobody care.until i see someone that'll convince me that it's easier to be a dollar millionaire in kenya than Nigeria then I'll take that place as a country. For now Me and many well to-do Nigerians see that place as backward place.
