KENYAN UNIVERSITIES

There are 22 public universities, 14 chartered private universities and 13 universities with Letter of Interim Authority (LIA).

They are not small pockets, they are entire districts with stable electricity.

NairobiWalker:


So you are bragging of small pockets of good power supply? Dude, in Kenya even the remotest villages have a continuous power supply.

chebeoc:
I hate debating will with empty heads, kenya do all this and still a third world country ?. Then what and what will your country have again to be a develop country. My friend listren only population of pupils Lagos state and Imo state give free education are more than what your entire country have,not to talk about 10 to 15 states that give free education from primary to secondary schools in Nigeria, kenya with less than 2000mw of electricity have average power while Nigeria have more than 5000mw. come to your university education i don't think that what fed universities pay in nigeria is fees because here some schools pay less than 30,000 naira and that less than 100$ a semester. so kindly lets know how much they pay in your university before giving them loan.as for other things you wrote up there i know you're making yourself feel better.

1. Nigeria has a 5000MW capacity but produces less than 4000MW

2. KENYA'S 2000MW is enough for our little population. the more we grow the more it grows. Remember to be on our level you must produce 4 times more than us since you're 4 times more than us.

3. Talk of percentage of people in university and not absolute numbers. Remember you also have more kids in primary school than England. Does that mean your education is more developed than England's?

KwachImani:

You are lying through your teeth and you know that!

Bubble busted!

ritababe:


facts don't lie.
you guys are talking about we importing refined fuel, for your information dangote is building one of the biggest refinery in the world (not just Africa).
that refinery will pave way for other good things to come and also as we speak now light is been transferred from bonny to Lagos and soon Lagos will start having 24 hours light.
also Atiku company is building one of the biggest seaport Lagos that will pave way for other good things, so you see my friend Don't compare Nigeria with common Kenya compare south Africa okay.

Nigeria should be compared with SA? lol.....Let me ask you - can you in your right mind compare a place like Durban to Ibadan?

highheybee:
Hmmmm
Lemme split it fr you

Nigeria is now in recession,price are now doubled
State governments are owing workers their salaries
University are one strike due to not paying them their salaries
Megawatts produced are now reduce to 4000 from 5000
Oil price have increased by somewhat 70℅ .....what more could I add o...poverty is on the rise ....all these aforementioned are most of the problems Nigeria are now facing plus vandalization of pipelines

Buh what....even with all that you still stand no chance...a cheetah is still no battle to a wounded lion

We might be facing our worst time...the rich taking most of our GDP....buh never for once are we in the same league as Kenya...a lone wolf is no Match for an ordinary cougar not to take of a tiger...we have developed way faster and better than you jez besting us ten years to this time...for Leicester to be better than Manchester she still has a long way to go and she is just beginning

All those stats of your are nothing
Check the stats of China to Singapore,tauwan,south Korea buh none of those countries have reached where China has...

So you gat it..we are corrupted,pooe to your own mind buh you are still way beneath us...bye

And about all those free free stuff...I schooled at a public school where all I paid was money for desk and chair which I only paid once during the jss...while my sss was totally free plus free tablets and free waec for over 10000 students in osun state alone...so tell me...the primary school is free also..even eaten free foods...so whayasay..gerrarahere niggas


Adding to that is that most federal universities in Nigeria are paying less than 100$ tuition fee
We even best y'all schools in terms of education...how much are they paying at Nairobi,kenyatta,moi universities
And it's not like you schools are beter

University of Nairobi and Kenyatta University have consistently ranked ahead of Nigeria's best university in terms of quality and we have more universities in Africa's top 100 best universities. Please, go back to GDP size and number of billionaires bullshit but when the word QUALITY is mentioned ANYWHERE Nigeria has nothing on Kenya.

NairobiWalker:


Nigeria should be compared with SA? lol.....Let me ask you - can you in your right mind compare a place like Durban to Ibadan?

tell me their GDP.

Anybaba:


You know of Nigerians that are barely making five dollars but clearly forget the Nigerian that is the richest black man ? Does creating the richest black man in our Nigerian environment not give credence to the giant tag ??....Nigerians should covertly announce that because of what ??

What is the point of have the richest man when most are suffering? Botswana has no billionaire but enjoys the highest living standards on mainland Africa.

Anybaba:


Nigerians associated with music and theater is disproportionately high ? Is that why your people were protesting in Kenya? It is this abysmal display of irrationality that has been the hallmark of submissions from your kind. And probably you have no idea of the contribution of entertainment to America's GDP and even Nigeria's. And you have no idea of cultural projection in International diplomacy. You talk in a bid to shame Nigeria but you got no idea how just puerile your infantile talk is.

Music and theater are important but there are many other important things in diplomacy that those you mention are child play. Look - Kenya is nowhere close to Nigeria in terms of music and theater yet Nairobi is much more important to the world than any nigerian city. Nairobi is the only city in the developing world with a UN arm headquarters. It is the headquarters of more multinational corporations than the West African region combined. See how important music is to diplomacy?

Hahaha..... How dull of you. Those are both private and public universities approved by your National University commision. The rest are either unapproved or providing unaccredited units. No wonder the Nigerian education system is a joke.

yes I can. In fact Ibadan is a beautiful city with ancient architecture and the nicest people on the continent. Die if you don't agree.

NairobiWalker:

no you are dull, copying off an article probably written years ago. Can you get off the forum already after all we here in Naija are idiots for having so much faith in the country, just leave ok, as in quit, deactivate your Nairaland account. Go create some Kenyaland forum and feel free to abuse Nigerians there.

Kenyanstar:

Nairobi has a UN arm HQ because it is surrounded by so much poverty and desperation. The central institutions are weak and open and negative foreign influence unlike Nigeria where people go hustle for their food, clothing and shelter instead of waiting on aid from foreign powers.

Let me educate you a bit. In Nigeria you have Federal, State and Private unis. Any where you see "University of ***" or "Federal Uni of ***", the uni is federally owned. So you see your list makes no sense.

Having electricity in 1 district is an achievment? What the hell.... The giant of Africa seeming excited because of a single district having temporary electricity.

Then why dont you add the other "Universities" that were omitted!!! HEHEHEHE!!!!

Godgay:
yes because there are 180 million people in Nigeria and 34m in Kenya compare individual regions in Nigeria especially the southern one's with a similar Kenya population I am tired of making this point don't qoute me again to this thread as if I don't have things to do.

You want to compare the richest region in Nigeria to the whole of Kenya? What are you high on? How about you compare Nakuru county to the whole of Nigeria?

naijalander:
First of all, you cannot rely on these stats for your argument. Not everyone in those professions receive that exact amount, earnings vary with regards to experience and other factors.

Second, my premise is based on the fact that Nigeria's elite DO NOT live in Kenya the way South Sudanese, Somali upper class do. Nairobi is not appealing to their taste but it does appeal to the taste of our middle class who happen to be able to afford apartments in South B, Dunholm, Buru-buru and South C to say the least.

.......and so according to you Kenya's rich live in South B and Donholm? Dude get off whatever you're smoking.

I said DISTRICTSSSSS

when you say you guys please be specific, not everybody have same belief, whether white owns it or not the fact is that the project is here in Nigeria and it will benefit us not them,
quote me when you have facts.

Tell that to your Nigerian brothers who keep crediting everything in Kenya to the white man.

Kenya's rich live in places like Muthaiga, Runda, Karen or Kitisuru or Gigiri. Read the post again dude. you are the one high on bad shashamani

naijalander:
keep telling yourself these lies.

I'm from Nigeria's lower middle class. I can afford travel to Kenya, SA and even Dubai like most lower middle class Nigerians. I stay at Valley Arcade Lavington whenever am in Nairobi so what exactly are you on about?

The areas mentioned in Nairobi are very well affordable for the average frugal Nigerian.

The 'normal' Nigerian lives in those rusty roofs in Ibadan. You claim you're worse than the normal Nigerian - meaning you live in something worse than those rusty roofs - Please try another one, no way someone living in those rusty roofs can afford valley arcade leave alone someone living in something worse. You keep saying how lower middle class in Nigeria are better than Kenya's upper middle class - please show me where they live. Kenya's lower middle class live in places like Buru Buru, Donholm and Madaraka. Show me where Nigerian lower middle class lives.

schools like Covenant Uni, Babcock Uni et al beat any Kenya uni hands down. Do the research.

Kenyanstar:


Then why dont you add the other "Universities" that were omitted!!! HEHEHEHE!!!!

Lagos middle class live in areas like Yaba, Ikeja, Omole, Berger, Magodo, etc

Hmmmm...all I know...Nigeria is way more industrialized than una country...the only area you won are electricity and poverty rate..Nigeria is 70℅ while Kenya is 50℅...buh the rest you are no match .... unemployment rate...

Kenya's electricity Penetration is almost 100℅ right now.

forgiveness:


Quite impressive but believe me Nigeria, three cities in the South is building these. Lagos, Port Harcourt and Calabar.

Believe me, I only know about Nairobi as a standard city but I don't know if Kenya has better cities. I wish to know if they really have good cities with modern infrastructures.


In the Southern Nigeria, we have very good cities with modern infrastructures but..... Lagos, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Ibadan and Enugu.

Go through the thread and see how Nakuru gave Ibadan a beating.

naijalander:

You left all those fantastic unis to come study in Kenya. Why?

forgiveness:



I know it Kenya but I was asking for the name of the city.


Nairobi is the Capital and it seems everything only revolve around it but that can't be said of Nigerian cities.

We have about 5 - 10 international cities. The 5 are springing up with real estate developments. Can dat be said of Kenya cities?

Please go through the thread and see the beating Nakuru (fourth largest in Kenya) gave Ibadan (your second or third biggest)

this thread should die. I wish God grants me more days so i could one day visit 9ja. I have visited 13 African nations and yet to visit 9ja. I want to give a proper judgement.
From my travels i can assure the house southern African nations like Botswana and Namibia have an enviable lifestyle worth emulating and i can see us reaching there in my lifetime

Adios

forgiveness:
Nigeria has it challenges but his human resources can not be overlooked.

Kenya is good but is it better than Nigeria in terms of infrastructures provided across the country?

I know about Nairobi but I know nothing about Mombasa and the rest.

If you don't hear Lagos, you hear Abuja, Port Harcourt, Calabar Kaduna, Ibadan, Enugu etc. These are big cities with infrastructures.

But....

Hearing about a place doesn't make it better. We all hear of Syria but very few people know Luxembourg, does that mean Syria is better than Luxembourg? Stop talking of hearing and go through the photos posted on this thread then go to Skyscrapercity and see for yourself or better yet travel to Kenya and see for yourself.

because my family lives in Nairobi, not that its any of your business.

Keep up with the stupid sarcasm, if you are lucky you'll hit where it hurts. dickward.
