You asked for African Hqs and you got a list. Instead of beating yourself up just verify it before you loose your mind completely.

iblawi:


These idiots are even talking of multinational companies in a $60 billion dollar economy. Most of our local companies are even multinational already. The annoying part is tell us that they have HQ in kenya.

PissedYagami:


They are just Nigerian hq, not African HQ. I see UNICEF and WHO andd they dont serve Africa. Kenya is The African UN HQ, also UN Habitat and UNEP.

iblawi:
Supermarket owners comparing themselves with a country that have several multinational companies of her own. You people should be ashamed to talk where we are.

obaaderemi:
GTBank just bought one of their mismanaged banks all the way from nigeria.

Boyedex:
Of course not all headquarters can be in Lagos. Presence is enough and that's where the revenue comes in. And there's really not much fuss about UN having African HQ in Kenya. UN and the likes, though listed, are mostly nonprofit organizations.

iblawi:


UN Habitat is in kenya because that is where they are meant to provide services. We've seen prove of some barracks built for them.

PissedYagami:


How much do you pay your teachers per month? Link?/

iblawi:


They are paid base on the standard of the school. It's very wrong to fix a price. We don't have a fixed salary for everyone

PissedYagami:

even if it were, what does Nigeria have to show for it?? Better sewage systems, Reliable electricity?? I see all talk

PissedYagami:


So different schools different pay??

68816419:


are you mad, "Better sewage " what!, in mean in Nairobi,Machackos, Nakuru, Mombasa or where? , Imagine Nigeria having few industries and same population as Kenya , what do you think would happened ?

Henrydone:
Even culture, Nigeria is ahead Kenya president always on Johnny outfit

Nigeria culture is appealing

PissedYagami:


I hope Nigeria has anger management institutions, you need to check into one bruh.

PissedYagami:


Yes we have seen your under developed stuff, as per your potential and when stuff goes sour some of you guys use that creepy stat every single time

The number of Nigerian students in US AND UK University is in tens of thousands.

How many do Kenyans admit?

PissedYagami:


A link, I have mine too https://www.internations.org/expat-insider/2016/africa
Show me some cool housing apartments or some very amazing leisure places in Lagos.

PissedYagami:


Cultures change all the time. Your official language is English, not very cultural, now is it?. Ours is Swahili and English.

PissedYagami:


How much do you pay your teachers per month? Link?/

PissedYagami:


It depends, but he is one brave young man. A real risk taker

Ednite:



excuse me? Oh, South Africa better not say anything

[b]Actually from these pictures, Abuja looks like Cape Town. The Bloemfontein you posted looks like Kano. Yes nigga was right. Lagos comes only after Jo'burg on the continent, it's a well publicized fact.

All those small cities you mentioned can never be as influential as Lagos, a city's influence doesn't centre around buildings and tourism alone (which Lagos too as its fair share), you have to talk economy, arts, media, siting of multinationals, financial institutions and headquarters, commerce, fashion and entertainment, airports and seaports, culture and sports etc. If you have been to these two cities; London and Atlanta or even LA, you'd know that the later cities are highly developed with regards to tall buildings and super highways compared to London. London only has 18 buildings taller than 100m compared to 35 in LA. But you know what? They aren't still as influential as London. In America, only New York rivals London. London without much skyscrapers as LA or New York still houses the biggest and the most financial institutions on the globe. It is a world Fashion and Entertainment Capital alongside Paris, the culture and the monarchy have so much influence that transcends the Americas.

Lagos is in an analogous position on the continent. Like in London where the skyscrapers are not concentrated in just one place( Canary Wharf and the main City), Lagos has concentration of highrises in Lagos Island, Victoria Island, Ikeja and now, the developing Eko City. Lagos has a monarchy, one of the most respected in Nigeria. Lagos is the fashion and entertainment capital of the continent with the annual Lagos Fashion and Design Week usually broadcast on the continent and in Europe. Lagos Commerce is just too big.

Media, one of Nigeria's strongest points all have a huge concentration in Lagos. She probably has the highest number of multinationals on the continent only second to Jo'burg. Lagos is art and culture, the yearly December count down, Eyo festivals and modern carnivals come to mind. Lagos is sports with 3 stadia, annual hosting of beach soccer, basketball tournaments, indoor games such as the largest monopoly tournament on the continent etc. Lagos, with two airports, has a third one underway at the Lekki Peninsula.

Abuja is to Nigeria, what Pretoria is to SA. Abuja has a big political influence on the continent alongside Pretoria and Addis Ababa. I dare say in recent years, Abuja has the biggest. The UN has often lined up behind Abuja on major African issues than Pretoria. Abuja and Pretoria are still neck on neck over who represents Africa on the continent. It's not a small plight.

Back to Lagos, she will continue to be more influential than those smaller SA cities. Jo'burg is the only and biggest competitor. Over the coming years, the picture will be clearer. Just keep your fingers crossed[/b]
