LOL! MY CONPARTIOTS ARE REALLY MAKING SPIRITED EFFORTS AND I CAN FEEL THEIR EXASPERATION TRYING TO SOURCE INFO AND PICTURES FROM CHAOTIC SOCIETY TO PRESENT NIGERIA AS AN ELDORADO .THEY CAN BE COMPARED TO STUDENTS IN AN EXAM HALL ,WHILE KENYANS ARE PREPARED FOR THE EXAM COMING FROM AN ORGANISED SOCIETY, NIGERIANS ARE LIKE STUDENTS WHILING AWAY THEIR TIME AND START TO PREPARE ON THE EVE OF THE EXAM.
NIGERIANS ARE GOOD AND LIKE GOOD THINGS BUT WE HAVE BEEN VERY UNLUCKY TO HAVE LEADERS WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT DEVELOPMENT IS ALL ABOUT. I LOVE ORGANISED SOCIETY AND TOURISM SO AS A LOT OF NIGERIANS.I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE A LOT OF NIGERIANS IN THE REGISTER IN THE HOUSE MANDELA LIVED IN SOWETO BEFORE HE FLED ON EXILE.
RECENTLY KENYA CHANGED THEIR CONSTITUTION FOR PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT RANCOR BUT SUCH HAS BEEN RESISTED IN NIGERIA, SO HOW CAN WE GO FORWARD WITH THIS. WITH ENORMOUS MATERIAL AND HUMAN RESOURCES WE HAVE, WE STILL LACK WHAT OTHER LESS ENDOWED AFRICAN COUNTRIES TAKE FOR GRANTED.I TOOK TWO DAYS OFF LAST WEEK JUST TO BE INDOORS, READ,BROWSE, MEDITATE AND SLEEP BUT THE HEAT WAS MUCH AND THERE WAS NO LIGHT WHILE I HAVE A.C. I HAD TO LOOK FOR A BUDGET HOTEL TO CHECK IN JUST FOR A.C..IT WAS VERY FRUSTRATING WHILE , MY COUNTERPARTS IN KENYA HAVE CONSTANT LIGHT.
A PROBLEM IDENTIFIED IS HALF_SOLVED.WE MUST ALWAYS TELL OURSELVES THE TRUTH TO IMPROVE. NO MATTER HOW LONG THIS LASTS ,THE TRUTH IS THAT KENYA IS ORGANIZED, PROGRESSING ,ALLURING AND ENCHANTING NIGERIA IS VERY CHAOTIC.FOREIGNERS COME HERE TO MAKE CHEAP MONEY IN OIL SECTOR WITH CORRUPT GOVT AND RUSH OFF.LET NIGERIANS RISE AND GOOD GOVERNANCE FROM LEADERS AND STOP PRETENDING AS IF THINGS WERE OKAY.

Hmmmm...do you know that they call family planning...the higher the number of your Children the harder it is to cater for them....we gained independence in 60 and you got yours 63 and you saying thrash that we should be four times developed than you are...give a family of four 5$ and a family of twenty the same amount,obviously the four will live better but in this case it's the other way round...we have developed industrially way more than you.... people should really think before posting stuffs...four times my foot....you talking about malls...so from your thinking...China should be over 20times developed than south Korea...or what are you spitting

Are some people for real

Nigeria GDP- 521B
Kenya GDP- 55B

Are you for real? You are 10 times richer than Kenya yet you are lagging behind in all sectors. I wonder where Kenya would have been with that amount in their economical and infrastructural capacity building. Currently Kenya is giving South Africa a run for its money in all departments without the natural resources like gold and diamonds feeding its GDP.
Kenya currently boasts of the second biggest port outside S. Africa. Its building a second bigger port in Lamu Kenya. Another bigger inland port that will be fed by the new standard gauge railway system is in the process of being actualized in Naivasha.

You do understand Kenya has no natural resources to supplement our budget, right? There can't be fair comparisons; it's like comparing apples and oranges. The thread is great for comic relief though.

Nigeria sincerely hasnt anything to offer Kenya except only on how not to be a an example to other countries on how to waste 520B US dollars

What's can we learn from Nija? We have better planned cities than you guys, we have taller skyscrapers than you guys, we have better retail sector than you guys, we have better infrastructure and tourism facilities not forgeting Mombasa has been handling more cagos than Lagos... What we can only learn from nija is how to avoid family planning.

Its not about skyscrapers buddy, its all about social well being of the Kenyan citizen. To Nigerians what is basic needs for a Kenyan are only a luxury for Nigerians.
How can 24/7 electricity be a luxury to all Nigerians while in Kenya it costs only $150 dollars to get connected to the national grid.
How comes Nigerians suffer fuel shortages & get the commodity more expensive while Kenya has never had any shortage at a lesser price
How comes Nigeria has an inefficient port serving 180m populace but Kenya has the second biggest port in Africa serving less than 80m
How comes Nigeria doesn't offer subsidized medicare while Kenya gives free maternal and child services free of charge
How comes Nigeria cant offer free education to its children while Kenya has free primary education
How comes Nigeria cant give education new learning technologies while Kenya is giving its children free laptops in schools
How comes Nigeria Nigerian universities don't support students while Kenya government gives free loans to university students
More can be said but its impossible to find anything to copy Nigeria on!!!

Nigeria has 15,800 dollar millionaires while Kenya has 8,400 dollar, Kenya's national budget and Nigeria is the same amount, Nairobi GDP per capita is 9000 plus while that for Lagos is 3000plus... Despite all that remember Nija has 4 times our population and Kenya does not depend on minerals...

Jay254:
Over ahundread multinationals have set there regional office in Nairobi, which is only second to Jo'burg. The infrastructure and housing development in Nairobi is now way above that of Lagos.Nairobi is more multicultural city than Lagos by far. We have a hundred of thousand expatriate working and leaving here. Malls and supermarkets in Nairobi is way a head of nija, Lagos has 4 standard malls while Nairobi has 23.

Lagos is just ahead in terms of population.

I think Nigeria is moving pass the stage of waiting for multinationals to open office in Nigeria. We are building our own multinational companies ourselves and some of these companies are opening offices out Nigeria, in Europe, Africa, and America.

Our banks and insurance companies are examples of Nigerian companies becoming the HQs of Multinational companies in Nigeria

Glo network, Dangote, Arik air, Oando, Con oil, GTB bank, Zenith bank, First Bank, etc are all Nigerian's companies becoming multinational. And all these companies have their headquarters in Lagos.


When it comes to infrastructures and housing development in Lagos, you can't imagine. From bungalows to duplexes, to flats, to apartments and mansions, Lagos has them all.

Is Nairobi building apartments 12 - 40 stories? Lagos is already doing that.

Eko Atlantic city is another example of world class housing development in Lagos. It can only be measured with apartments in Dubai.


The population of Nigerians and Africans in Lagos will not make you notice the thousands of expatriates in Lagos but we don't believe they are better than Nigerians that is why Nigeria will not allow unnecessary expatriates for a job Nigerians can do better.

When you talk about malls, we have more than you think. You only know about shoprit but we have others, you don't know.

Lagos is not behind Nairobi when is it comes to infrastructures...


Does Nairobi has mono rail?

@bolded is all about the form of government a country practice.

We don't practice unitary government, Nigeria practices Federation type of government though not fully.

Since, you understand what I mean, I will say some states do all you mentioned while some don't do it.

Nigeria's system of government makes it the responsibility of the states to decide.

Lagos, Nigeria | Published on: February 27, 2015



Lagos, Nigeria, 27 February 2015 - Africa covers about 6% of the earth’s total surface. With 38 of its 54 states either coastal or insular in nature, Africa has over a hundred port facilities, a few of which handle 6% of the worldwide water-borne cargo traffic and about 3% of the world’s container traffic. International trade is very important for many African economies. With over 90% of Africa’s imports and exports conducted by sea, there is an increasing need for innovation and development in the field of maritime. African Union’s 2050 Africa’s Integrated Maritime Strategy is aimed improving these conditions and increasing the potential for wealth creation.

A research conducted by Jovago.com reveals the 7 harbours/ports in Africa worthy of note as they stand out strategically across the region.

Durban, South Africa

Port of Durban as popularly known is Africa’s most active general cargo port. It is situated a block away from Durban’s central business district and plays a key role in S.A’s economy. Being Africa’s largest container port, it handles most of the seagoing traffic in comparison to the other ports in South Africa. This port welcomes about 4500 vessels yearly and about 83000 containers per month, it conducts trade worth over $45billion.According to the Port Management Association of Eastern and Southern Africa, it handled about 44.8 million tonnes of cargo of cargo in 2013-2014. Not only does this port contribute to the economy, it also creates employment for South African locals.

Mombasa, Kenya

Port Mombasa, often referred to as “the city of merchants” is also worthy of note. Dating back to the times of Portuguese exploration, it has been and remains a busy trading post for the region which could be attributed to its strategic location between South Africa and the Gulf of Aden. It is a key gateway to East and Central Africa. It provides a direct link to about 80 ports worldwide and a railway line runs therefrom to Uganda and Tanzania. With 18,000 teu and a container capacity of about 250,000teu per year, Mombasa Port now handles about double this volume.

Djibouti

Djibouti’s ports are crucial to its geo-strategic importance both in military and economic terms. They serve as a passage for Ethiopian trade and a platform for the transhipment of goods. This involves the outflow of container and bulk cargo from larger vessels to be redistributed to East Africa and Arabian ports. It provides a secure regional hub for transhipment and relay of goods. China is also directly involved in the Port of Djibouti through the state-owned China Merchants Group. Their interest in Djibouti goes beyond the benefits of being involved in East African regional trade rather Djibouti's position as the only reliable port along the main shipping lanes between Europe and the Gulf and also between Asia and the eastern coast of Africa is essential.

Lagos, Nigeria

Being Nigeria's economic focal point, Lagos generates a significant portion of the country's GDP. Port of Lagos, also known as Lagos Port Complex is located at the Apapa area of Lagos, South West Nigeria. With a total land area of over 120hec, the geographical location is within UTM Zone 31. Its operational area consists of berthing, cargo-handling and stacking areas and storage facilities. This leading port is one of the largest and busiest in Africa, it is administered by the Nigerian Ports Authority and is split into three main sections: Lagos port, in the main channel next to Lagos Island, Apapa Port (site of the container terminal) and Tin Can Port, both located in Badagry Creek.

Abidjan, Ivory Coast

The port of Abidjan is located on a lagoon and is connected to the sea by a 2.8 long km channel. The Abidjan Container Terminal is run jointly by the French Bolloré Africa Logistics and APM Terminals. Ivory Coast’s economic capital Abidjan boasts of the biggest port in the West African sub-region, which is also the second biggest in Africa with the container storage capacity of 20,000 TEUs and an annual volume of 610,000 TEUs.The container trans-shipment port was opened in 1951 and its 15m deep Vridi Canal allows boats with large draughts to dock in the deep-water port and this gives Abidjan an edge as it has become even more important, receiving the bulk of the country's industrial activity.

Suez Canal, Egypt

The Suez Canal is 101 miles (163 km) long connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Gulf of Suez, a northern branch of the Red. Since its inception in 1869, it has allowed ships to travel between Europe and South Asia without navigating around Africa hence reducing the sea voyage distance between Europe and India significantly.The Suez Canal Axis Development Project aimed at its expansion and development is currently in planning. The 2014 canal revenue was approximately $5.45 billion which was 6.8 % higher than the previous year. The 2014 total tonnage was up to 962.7 million tonnes.

Tangier, Morocco

Separated from The Port of Tangier which remains the port for ferries, the Tangier-Med Port, accommodates commercial ships and vessels and can facilitate up to 3.5 million containers. This was triggered by the expansion of the market and import-export industry, requiring the need to streamline the flow of traffic. It is one of the largest ports on the Mediterranean and in Africa in terms of capacity and went into service in July 2007. Being relatively new as it was opened in 2007, there are high expectations for this port.

http://jumia.pr.co/96825-top-7-biggest-ports-in-africa-you-should-know


As you can see Lagos port is among the top 7 busiest in Africa and you can see it is three ports in Lagos while Mombasa port is the second because it is used by 5 countries. Mind you, Lagos is building 2 ports and other states are building ports. So, how is Lagos port inefficient?

gallivant:


Are you for real? These are just scam artists with zero economic value. The fact that Nigerians(giant of Africa) is competing with Kenya proves you have lost the plot and its saddening.

Nigeria is not competing with anybody
rather its Kenyans trying to look for relevance
I just don't get the basis of this thread anymore

Kenyanstar:


Its not about skyscrapers buddy, its all about social well being of the Kenyan citizen. To Nigerians what is basic needs for a Kenyan are only a luxury for Nigerians.
How can 24/7 electricity be a luxury to all Nigerians while in Kenya it costs only $150 dollars to get connected to the national grid.
How comes Nigerians suffer fuel shortages & get the commodity more expensive while Kenya has never had any shortage at a lesser price
How comes Nigeria has an inefficient port serving 180m populace but Kenya has the second biggest port in Africa serving less than 80m
How comes Nigeria doesn't offer subsidized medicare while Kenya gives free maternal and child services free of charge
How comes Nigeria cant offer free education to its children while Kenya has free primary education
How comes Nigeria cant give education new learning technologies while Kenya is giving its children free laptops in schools
How comes Nigeria Nigerian universities don't support students while Kenya government gives free loans to university students
More can be said but its impossible to find anything to copy Nigeria on!!!

I will try to correct some notions
on the basis of electricity - I will not shield politicians but Nigeria has had military rule for a larger percentage of its life span ..even in independence we still grapple with corruption which is the bane of moving forward...lastly government bureaucracy in power generation and distribution

on fuel shortages...well our fuel needs surpasses Kenyas' in triple..Shamefully we import to supplement our needs and all coupled with the ponzi scheme which has now been scrapped (fuel subsidy)

who says our port are inefficient and where did u learn we aren't building larger ones?

healthcare in government hospitals here are "subsidized"...treatment is way cheaper compared to private ones

who said Nigerian primary and secondary schools are not free??..all state owned primary and secondary schools are free here

you can also ask China and US to give students free laptops to show they r powerhouses
the population of Nigerian students shld total the population of whole of Kenya

lastly ..Federal Universities in Nigeria are dirt cheap..not only universities are cheap but polytechnic too

all these your butthurts should stop bcuz its taking you nowhere...Nigeria still considers itself developing.. If Kenya has reached a point to start bragging that's their pot of tea..I personally am not interested
shalom!
