Ado-Ekiti-Nigeria

Still on ado-Ekiti

Ado ekiti na ni

Abuja lushness at its peak

TayserMahiri:


1. Lagos Vs Nairobi ? Nairobi dwarfs Lagos
2. Abuja Vs Mombasa ? Second largest port on the continent as at 2016, with all its tourism infrastructure beats Naijas FCT
3. PH Vs Kisumu ? Stop the jokes.
4. Ibadan Vs Nakuru ? Ibadan na Old Lady, Nakuru will whip her.
4. Calabar Vs Eldoret ? We can start the argument here

We should probably start at number 1 anyway. With pictures please. Not words. So lets go

There is no need comparing Nigerian and Kenyan cities. I think they are unique in their own way.

Nigeria and Kenya does not have the same population, so Nigerian cities naturally tend to be richer, larger and more populated.

Kenyan cities on the other hand seem to have better infrastructure (but very small and has lots of slums/underdeveloped areas).
The welfare margin Of Kenyan cities are higher. However, the developed parts have excellent tourist infrastructures.

Owerri-Nigeria

Owerri it is

Yep, that's Tz. They mostly speak Swahili. Its Kenyans who mix the two languages alot.

Like many other Swahili songs, they are sang TO jealous people, gossipers etc. They are saying "let them talk, they are like the croaking of frogs in a water hole" (You do not ever want to have a bitter exchange of words with a Swahili )

Ok thanks, i see. East Africa has great and sweet musics. The only issue here is probably the smallness of your music markets.
There are some East African songs i hear and i think they are far better than many Nigerian songs, but at the end of the day you see that the song does not penetrate Africa as such. It seems like West and Southern Africa hardly connect to East African songs (except featured).

Only few East African singers like Vanessa Mdee, Diamond and Sauti sol have been able to gain some level of acceptance here in west africa.

Yes, during the harmattans (December-February), temperature drops terribly and especially in the northern parts, temperatures go as low as 1 digit (3-9°) in most northern states (mostly during the nights and mornings).

Does Nairobi get as cold as that?

Nairobi coldest season usuall gets low to 16-18 degrees.... Worst case is 14 and a very case of 12....

But in the greater highlands not that far from Nairobi, that's another case, we used to live in one of those places, we had to store water in tanks early in advance, during winter, piped water used to freeze in the pipes , sometimes it used to get minus 4, if you put a metal cup filled with water outside, the water would freeze after an hour or less..

Most recent case has been a situation where it rained hailstorm but the ice did not melt , it ended up looking like snow (from a far) the recorded temperature was 3.6 Celsius

Comparing Nigeria and South-africa? Maybe.
But Nigeria and kenya, they are just not comparable, It's Like trying to compare America with Singapore.

That's the advantage of a big population. Its a ready market.

South Africa would make you look like babies

TayserMahiri:


Ali Kiba is my top singer from Bongo. Nagharamia means "I'm catering for it" while Aje means "Let her come". Gabu and Frasha have been singing for quite some time as group P Unit. They sing club bangers.

I love many East African songs. Your musics are better than Southern African musics but South African music still penetrates the Nigerian market far far more than yours and i wonder why (i guess the swahili lang may be a reason though).

I think until East African music merges as one, u guys may not be able to compete with Nigerian and South African music industry, cos with our large markets, our artistes will always be richer and more influential than yours even though you guys are talented.
Although i must say Tanzania is really really trying!

It's only a blind person who will choose Lagos over Beautiful Nairobi... Ask the a hundreds of multinationals setting up offices in Nairobi over Joburg,Cairo and Lagos.

I think its more to do with language barrier.

Wow, the lowest Nigeria has seen is 2°c. But such temperatures usually occur at nights and cover entire cities/states and not just highlands. Northern Nigeria is rapidly desertifying (hence getting hotter at day and colder at nights).
If we don't fight the desertification, we would start seeing below freezing temps soom.

Is it the Sahara already has arrived in Naija?

Not to talk bad of Lagos but she's an eyesore . Very VERY unattractive visually. The photos look like they were taken in the 1970s

Only Lagos and Abuja can compare South African cities. They have the best infrastructures (thanks to the early builders). They started building cities earlier. We can only compare them in money and industries, but never infrastructure.

But with time u see, we may catch up SA and surpass them because we are building dozens of cities at the same time while they are building only few.

So, they will end up like Japan (with only Tokyo, Osaka and few others) while we will end up like USA (with New york, Miami, Los Angeles, San francisco, Atlanta, Philadelphia, San Diego, Dallas, Houston, Chicago and dozens of world class cities).

comparing Nigeria with Kenya is a crime against common sense.

Comparing 2.5 cities to over 40 cities is a crime

Whats the point of many ugly cities?

Yes.
However SA does not have a big population but their market is more influential than East Africa combined in Africa. (i guess their wealth is the reason). And maybe because they team up more with Nigerians.

East Africa must have a united industry if not you guys may never match Nigerian and South African influence on the continent.
Many Nigerians today find it easier to love and watch South African music, but East Africa is like a no go area. We still somehow look down on your industry.

Nairobi alone attracts more multinational companies than Lagos and Abuja Combined. And am sure even if we add all other Naija cities, nairobi would still trounce them

TayserMahiri:


Nigeria is like a big unkempt ugly house, Kenya is a smaller sleek one.

No bro. Nigeria is a larger country developing dozens of cities at the same time while Kenya is a country developing few cities at the same time.
So, in the long run we will have the advantage because we will have more world class cities while we develop while you guys will have only a few. (Just like USA and South Korea comparison).
