KenyaMan111:
Typical delusional Nigerians. Lagos and your other cities are so beautiful and rich that your citizens are illegally immigrating to other countries. I feel for South Africa, be vigilant and keep your credit cards hidden is my only advice for South Africans.

this may sound odd but in all honesty Nigerians are everything that is wrong with Africa

Wherever you see a group of more than five of them you already know they up to no good,I just wish Donald Trump was South African or we had someone like him

MPSA:


South Africa is contributing a lot in africa, according to me ,Africa is changing because of the contribution of South Africa, after 1994 most SAcns were living under a bad situations, South Africa was trying to fix its problems first by building roads, houses for the poor, electricity and many more, I can't disagree, because I don't have any information about what you are talking about, I like when you call me ''wena'' , more Santon pictures

I have been to Sandton before, in 2006. Looks like its really grown and changed alot. The white folks there gave us those looks as well, esp after discovering we were non local blacks, the service even changed considerably. Eish, the trouble of living in SA whether as a visitor is having to deal with history every 3 mins of ones existence.
In fact, it was so bad for my cousin who happened to be visiting SA some time ago. There happened to be a test match between Springboks and Wallabies when he was attending a work shop in SA. Being a rugby head like myself, and being a Saturday, he was naturally inclined to attend. But alas, he and his equally Rugby mad colleague were manhandled and insulted racially by ordinary white fans and asked to leave the place in no uncertain terms, ticket or none . He only discovered much later that Rugby venues and matches are a bastion and stronghold of white supremacists and its unspoken amongst black folk in your country not to attend such places except as the help. Please SAns its impossible for black outsiders to enjoy your country when made to feel unwelcome. Work on this please, most Africans resident in your land consistently point to these things as a hindrance to the enjoyment of life.

Lol!!!

Monikers above trying so hard to console themselves.

After all said and done, they all come back with their degoratory stories that absolutely makes no sense because as usual, they lack COMMON sense.

Nigeria is just backward and one of the reason why sub-saharan is poor and the butt of jokes. I mean you've got all that oil - that changed middle east from desert to what they look like - but nigeria grew into a bigger slum.

Infrastructure. Let compare 1) airports. Quick google tells me Nigeria has 26 federal airports with about 15 airstrips (mostly military & oil companies) & two military airports. The main airport in lagos (mohammud or something) I have heard look ghostly. How much does it cost to fly from Lagos to Abuja - about 300 miles - you won't believe it - anything around 250-300usd.

Kenya a smaller country and supposeldy with less gdp ( believing nigeria gdp or anything from there require huge leap of faith) has about 60 airports and airstrip - which mostly look more dope, are functional and it dirty cheap to fly from Nairobi to mombasa or kisumu or eldoret - about 300 miles - cost 30 dollars!!

It 10 times cheaper to fly in Kenya than in Nigeria - which is awash with oil (fuel is main cost in running an airline) but we know Nigeria doesn't if yet have refinery and normally faces oil shortage - something unheard of in kenya. Just like facing power shortage when you have all the oil - to make huge thermal plants.

Go to jambojet.com and book yourself dirty cheap ticket to any kenyan city for less than 30 dollars...something it seem you'll pay 10 times in Nigeria.

Nairobi - has two Airports - JKIA (international) & Wilson (domestic)

Your words wreak of hatred and ethnocentrism.

Weren't there criminals in SA or Kenya before Nigerians started coming there?

And what exactly makes you think we need your countries? Get over yourself, most of these countries opening mouth to insult Migeria today would not have the balls to do it if not for Nigerias empowerment.

If you feel this strongly about Nigeria, please we beg you, exit the forum.

Fakin hater!

Manda Airport -Small Airport in Lamu archipelago.

Ports - Mombasa port - now fourth busiest sea port in Africa - dealing with 26 million metric tonnes of cargo or nearly 1.2M containers per annum. Nigeria two sea ports are doing half that each. And yet their economy is supposedly 490B usd - really naija

Mombasa port is 24-hr operation and very efficient.

Lamu airport - Under construction - with estimated cost 3B dollars - part of LAPSET 23B USD project - for poor country like kenya without petrodollars.

Electricity - the least said about nigeria in this - the better for our friends in nairaland.
Kenya now boast of 60% electricity connection coverage in all households (stable reliable electricity)...from 12% in 2006 thanks to huge investment in this. South Africa has about 80% of it's household connected to main grid. A lesson nigeria can learn from. Yesterday I saw some constituency in kenya has even managed to achieve universal electricity connection.

Kenya target is to have universal electricity connection by 2020. Already 99% of all public institutions (schools) & markets are connected to reliable stable power.

Nigeria with all the petrodollars and oil are still running generators and think having constant reliable power is a miracle. Yet they've got Niger river & many others plus of course oil to burn and generate thermal power.

Kenya power plants are mostly clean renewable energy (95%)
Lake Turkana -300MW wind power energy plant in Turkana Kenya -700-1B dollar project


Geothermal plants - Kenya is Africa and one of world leaders in tapping this energy.

Roads - Nigeria have the key ingredient for making road - bitumen from Oil - but quick peek on naija moves show really dusty roads.outside the main arteries - Naija don't seem to have bitumen standard roads?

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

Your point holds water only in a case where the provider is one person. For instance if you are a father, taking care of 3 children is easier than ten. But we are talking about countries - Kenya and Nigeria have similar family sizes. As much as Kenya may have fewer dependents, it also has fewer providers. Look at it this way - a family of five where one is a provider and four dependents may be better than a family of 20 with 1 provider and 19 dependents but it is no different from a family of 20 with 4 providers and 16 dependents. I hope you understand what I mean.

Odunayaw:
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

It was started by a Nigerian FYI. Now you can see who's seeking relevance.

I admit Nigeria doesn't not do well with infrastructure due to our maintenance culture. But things are actually changing. Also despite the limits we have still managed to do some amazing stuff, like Innosson Motors.

A simple google of states in Kenya will help you.

Thika is a town of over 3,000 population.
Nyeri is a town of over 300,000 population.

Kenya only has towns, villages, cities and provinces not States

The least populated State in Nigeria is Abuja with a population of over 1.5million our of 36 other States and FCT.

Nigeria has Over 200 towns, villages or local government.

What is your definition of a State??

Read a book and stop relying on 'a simple google search'. People are laughing at your ignorance right now. - Thika a town of 3000 people, lol.

The main reason we Kenyans & South Africans are on Nairaland is basically because Seun doesnt have a problem with foreigners being on his own website. Unless you co-own it then that would be absolutely another case, furthermore there are more Nigerians who dont have an issue over our existence in Nairaland.
Nigerians outside Nigeria, mainly in Kenya paint a grim picture of the situation back home. I know a few who have live here in Kenya illegally doing small time hustle who swear that they better stay in a Kenyan jail than be free in Naija.

okay, my bad over 100,000
I guess the moniker I quoted does not even know about Kenya or live there and does Kenya have States?

More from Windsor

ONDO state

Nigerians prefer to rather be in a Kenyan jail rather than be free in Nigeria due to the hardship they face back at home. The moment they knew how comfortable the Kenyan prisons rehabilitation services that were given in jail, they started presenting themselves to the police to be arrested and arraigned in court.
