Hahahahahahahahahahaha hahaha... Which facts... Lol. Get your head out of your arse.

In the recently concluded Olympics. Nigeria had ONLY one MEDAL, a bronze medal while Kenya had 13 medals. 6 gold, 6 silver and 1 bronze. The best a country with 180m people can do is get a single bronze metal... Hahahahahahahahaahahaha

We are only 2nd to South Africa in the continent when it comes to Rugby and recently won the world HSBC sevens in Hong Kong.

All of those sports you are quoting you are not even in the top 3 world wide. Kenyans are known to be the best long distance and 800m runners in the WORLD.

We still hold the Africa javelin record by Julius Yego who got a silver in the Olympics despite having an injury.

We are the best in volleyball in Africa.

We have held a world record in swimming. We are the only African country to have a chess grandmaster.

You keep saying Nigeria is number 5 etc in the world. Who cares about number 4, 9 etc. Last time I checked only the top 3 are given medals... Lol

I wonde

forgiveness:


I am doubting the regular supply of electricity in Kenya because I know we have problems in that area. I am asking about the impression you had about those places you mentioned.

mkenya254:


I lived stayed in VI for 2wks at the Radisson Blu Hotel and Ikoyi at the Southern Sun for a week. During the time I visited some clients in Lekki, Yaba and also some famous clubs in Sululeri e. G. Lighthouse.


Lekki seems to be more of a nice apartment complex area with VI and Ikoyi having more stand alone houses. I think they have wealthier people saying there. There are more modern architecture like buildings in Nairobi while Lagos buildings have more of a traditional feel despite being huge as well

VI is very poorly planned and I hated the way the ocean looks so polluted especially on the long bridge going to visit from the mainland. There is also a very large floating slum there.

I would prefer the affluent kenyan neighborhoods of Nairobi compared to Lagos. This is because in Nairobi has a lot of forests in the town actually. So you have very beautiful greenery views though it is quite colder (13-24) degrees annually. But maybe because I am not used to the heat of Lagos being at sea level and Nairobi being at 5800 ft above sea level. There is also generally more to see in Nairobi since you can do safari drive inside Nairobi, there are quite a number of zoos. The Las Vegas of Kenya(Naivasha and Nakuru) are also short drives away from Nairobi

I also saw the king of yoruba who came to dine at Southern Sun quite a number of times. I was so shocked that a bunch of old people followed him ringing bells etc and that even very educated looking people bowed to him. I thought the Kings were just elements of Nollywood.

Yaba and Sululeri seem not so safe areas especially after dark for the foreigner. Also Ikeja. I also hated the fact that when you are a foreigner everybody keeps asking you for money even some people I asked for directions to the washroom at the airport !!, club bouncers etc.

Taxis are very old and run down but Ubers are very clean and new. But taxis are way cheaper than Nairobi with a taxi in Nairobi charging double the Uber rate at any time.

Something else I did not understand is why buying a Sim card takes almost 30mins with fingerprints etc. I also noticed data is way more expensive there compared to Kenya. For example, I have 30Mbps cable Internet and TV at my house than I only play 56 dollars for monthly. Mobile data costs me 10USD for 3Gb data from the most expensive telco locally.

Most people from your country love sweet liquor, Orijin and Andre champagne in the clubs. Kenyans like bitter alcohol so I felt as if I was taking fruit juice drinking Orijin And alcohol is quite cheap compared to Kenya. That I like with a 750ml heineken or orijin bottle going for around 2-3Usd while in Kenya 300ml of Heineken costs you 3-5Usd depending on the location. Locally brewed beers are 2-3USD but sold as 500ml.

Cost of living is just slightly cheaper than Kenya as well. I loved the Nigerian cuisine though like most Kenyans who travel to Nigeria I couldn't handle the extreme Chilli in all your dishes

People are generally friendly(African culture) but there are also a lot of people looking to cheat you on the streets as with any African country I assume. I couldn't understand why the airport authority in Nigeria let's a bunch of people in the airport who are not Travellers hence I had to bribe to even get to the airline desk. About 3000naira. Kenya is very corrupt but that is only in the police force and politicians. In Nigeria to even get directions you pay

Nigerian women are pretty but I don't understand why there is so much bleaching and wigs though. I thought Kenyan women put on a lot of make up until I saw Nigerian ladies. That was a disappointment. This frenzy is sadly becoming introduced in Kenya by Nigerians as you see with socialites such as Vera. This is such a shame as Africans should appreciate dark skin. But as much as Nigerian women are beautiful I noticed Kenyan women have more booty in case that tickles your fancy

Affluent Nigerians like the Mercedes G class while Affluent Kenyans like the Range Rover. The Honda is very popular in Nigeria while in Kenya it has less than 3% market share with Toyota being the primary car for the ordinary Kenyan.

Shopping for clothes in Nigeria is a better experience(more designer brands) than Kenya though for restaurants I think Kenya leads since any mall easily has 5-10 different restaurant chains even the smaller malls like Diamond Plaza.

Music in Nigeria is ahead of Kenya since all clubs play only Nigerian music with a few Jazz at hotel bars. Kenyans primarily listen to Jamaican riddim/raga, hip hop, Kenyan and Nigerian music, bongo then SA Kwaito in that order. Jazz and country is also common in better restaurants.

In terms of traffic, both Nairobi and Lagos are similar. Traffic at the Lekki toll station is as much as traffic on Mombasa road in Nairobi.

For public vehicles, Nairobi has loud and very pimped matatus so that may not be comfortable while Lagos has very old ones.. Can't recall their name. Both are however prone to pick pocketing. I never boarded the Lagos ones but I was told that I should avoid them and only use taxis or the company car.

Nairobi is undergoing more road expansions though but the proposed introduction of toll gates may result to a Lekki traffic situation. Time will tell.

Large businesses in Nigeria seem to be predominantly international companies e.g. Shoprite while Kenya has more local successes even though some are owned by indigenous Indians e.g. Nakumatt and Bidco

I am pretty sure some small nation like Israel can decapitate you in 27 minutes. I do not see the significance of warships for a poor country

mkenya254:


You are making warships while 70% of your population is below the poverty line. You are dimwits

forgiveness:


Even[b], Britain, Germany, Japan, Russia, America and China [/b]can be decapitated by Israel, how much more Nigeria.

Compare us with South Africa, Egypt, Algeria and Ethiopia in military power. I don't think Kenya can withstand our bulala.

forgiveness:


E bi say you no sabi, ba?

1, Olympic is not the pinnacle of sporting achievement. Therefore, it is only meant for the Amateurs. Beside, Kenya only had gold medal Athletics(marathon). If we consider sports holistically, Nigeria is ahead of Kenya. How did I know? Check the African medal table below.



2, I have taken note of Kenyan's exploit in Rugby but our exploit in football has have dwarfed Kenyas achievement here.


3, WBO, WBC heavyweight titles are not beans. We have won many major boxing titles more prestigious than the Olympic medal in Athletics. We have won the Scrabble Championship and Nigeria is currently the number one in the Whole Wide World in SRABBLE. We were rated 4th in football in the world. Our achievements in these areas again has dwarfed that of a mere Olympic medal.


4, We have won gold and silver in Long jump.


5, We are the best in Basketball, Wrestling and Weightlifting, Table tennis and Football in Africa. I think those have overwhelmed Kenya's achievement in Female Volleyball.


6, Nigeria is holding the world records in Weightlifting (3) and Javelin in Paraolympics.

5, Kenya doesn't have one single grandmaster in chess. abi you fit prove am?


As you can see, in every one thing your are good at, we are three times better.



Now, take a look at the all time Africa game medal table and you see that when Nigeria and Kenya competed, Nigeria triumphed.

68816419:

so does that means is only Nigerians that do all what you mentioned, why single out Nigerians why not the corrupt "drug barons politicians like Hassan joho ,Kidera and many more? ?

mkenya254:


Kidero is not a drug baron. He is just a corrupt governor. Hassan John has that reputation I agree.

I did not single out Nigerians. Just that Nigerians are the largest immigrants group doing this vices locally and actually in most African states. I have been in South Africa, Ghana, DC and Angola and all the locals seem to share this sentiment. You are to African countries what Mexico is to the USA ,

Your known habit of breaking visa laws is why you are given short visa validity periods in countries such as the US.

If we sell one to Kenya, we will become richer.

2010 at 61% from 54.7% in 2004. i wqas quoting 2015 figures at around 70%

ArchieTaylor:


We wont laugh about it, no need. Hope you overcome your hurdles. And is your Electricity department privatised or is it under the government??

ArchieTaylor:


USA, Russia, Britain, China really?? Germany and Japan are very anti millitary though.
We can decapitate you guys in 3 hours. And no offense to Ethiopia but they have a huge population. Kenya can deal with them in 13 minutes btw

Sweetguy25:
Watch out fellow Nigerians. Very soon I'll post facts on this thread that will shut it down for good.

Muafrika2:

And we'll enjoy breaking your heart.

I was actually shocked since I was told those were the most affluent places to live in Lagos. In fact on my way back there were 2 blackouts at the mutala airport. I was so shocked. From an honest view, with the large GDP I never expected something like that in Nigeria. I was told there are political cartels who sell generators hence don't want the country to have efficient power

I live in Gigiri, Nairobi. I have had 2 blackouts for the whole year lasting a total of less than 4hrs in total. Even the so cold poor estates always have electricity. I am from a small town called Kisii in western kenya which also has consistent power 24/7.

In fact 99% of estates and schools in Kenya don't have generators since there is power almost 24/7

Generators are only found in industries and hospitals which cannot afford to lose power at any time even for 5mins obviously

forgiveness:



How many slums are in Lagos? I didn't say Lagos State.

I am asking about Lagos. Name the slums.

mkenya254:


Agege, Ajegunle, Amukoko, Badia, Bariga, Ijeshatedo/Itire, Ilaje, Iwaya and Makoko

68816419:


that girl/boy is a lier, i stayed in Nairobi for a while i know Kenya in and out, whalhi only CBD and other places dominated by whites and indians are nice, kenya is a very poor country how can some one compare kibera,mathare and more slums to makoko?
