Those people age are the reason the government comes at broad daylight o tell us everything is well in this country.

BedLam:
School. People say the University of Nairobi is the best in East Africa.

You and many others must understand that each country has their selling points.

For kenya, they have utilised the opportunity of their wild life to create tourism attraction.

Nigeria is blessed with diversity in such a way that development spreads across the country.
Mention one geopolitical zone in Nigeria that does not have an attraction??

Lagos, economic capital of Africa is not for tourism, Abuja the Fct is not for economic activities but seat of government.
And it's far beyond Lagos and Abuja, what of Kaduna, Bauchi, Enugu, have you been to Calabar?? Have you been to Obudu?
Nigeria is a country where if you think you are a Nigerian and I take you just to another zone, you will doubt your citizenship weather you are still in the same country
or not

Pidgin2:


See them promoting their country but you will only see Nigerians saying nonsense about ours

Coolgent:
Thats great!
I heard the word from my friend here in Nigeria.
The word is same as Girma in Hausa language

demiladegold:




More reason why Nigeria should be ashamed of herself...... All this and we are still stagnant..... Dollar is still 400/1, good education is more expensive than building a mansion..... Let's stop praising what should be condemned

dazzlingd:


Most Nigerians live all their lives without even knowing 10% of their country. All they know is Lagos and Abuja. over 75% of Nigerians don't even know the history of their country.

Nigeria is perhaps the most diverse country in Africa and that's where the beauty lies.
These Kenyans and half Nigerians in this thread are speaking out of their little knowledge of Nigeria.

Nigeria is beyond Lagos and Abuja, you guys should pls be updated about your country and stop disgracing yourselves because at the end it all falls back to you.
Let me take you round Nigeria and you will doubt your citizenship.

You guys ain't know nothing

MtuMsuper:

Iphones are overrated IMO. Most kenyans who own one are either well heeled and / or persons seeking status symbol. Even Mac pros belong to such folk. They are weak and not sturdy. Also accessories are not convenient stocked at shops. Android and windows based smartphones and laptops are king.

BedLam:
My deductions...Nairobi has more Malls than the whole of Nigeria. I kid you not!

At a point, you'd think this is India because there are a lot of Indians, for the fact that they have "BANK OF INDIA" here should tell you a lot.

The best night clubs are the ones where Nigerian songs dominate.

Every Nigerian is often seen as a rich man or woman.

Hati13:

You mean the meaning is the same in Hausa language? If so, then there could be also other common words.

dazzlingd:


That's another discussion which you can create a thread for.

ccollins:
do they allow one on tourist visa to settle there or get a job legally and what if your visa has expired. can you still work there

ccollins:
will 400k be enough to get there

cutieme:
which city in Nigeria are you talking about being comfortable to stay?@pidgin.Comfortable in what sense if i may ask?In power outages or unavailability of water?Insecurity or what.Look let's call a spade a spade!Nigeria is our country,no dispute about that but the truth be told.If we cannot boast of enjoying the basics of life like light,water,security and peace then it's not comfortable at all.I love Nigeria because we've got tough skin to bear any situation we may find ourselves but we are still lacking behind.I wept for naija when i visited some west african countries years back.

BedLam:
Oga, we know all of these, it doesn't take much to promote tourism by the government, but do you have power ? water ? security ? see even police are harassing people and you are talking about promoting ish!
Please acting as if life is better here. I have lived lived in Ghana for some time now and you don't hear of police unwarranted harassment! Like Tekno, Generator wan tear my ear abeg!

uboma:



Exactly!

IPhones are over hyped.

I can afford to own one but choose not to.

There are better brands in the market.

cutieme:
Damiladegold,pls tell us more about schooling in kenya as i would love to do a certificate or pgd program for a year or six months.Pls how do i go about securing admission and what is the tuituon fee range?

dazzlingd:


who are the we?? you might say of yourself but I tell you most Nigerians know little about their country.
Is it in the South where they think all northerners are Hausas and Muslims??
Or where they think the only developed city in Nigeria is Lagos and Abuja??
Every country has their challenges, it's an African thing not just Nigeria. You said it yourself you had to tip off the kenyan police officers $14 otherwise they send you back...Definition of corruption right at the door. You never even enter, dem don show you small colour.

Abeg, leave our country, we are not yet there but we shall get there as we work collectively to get things right.

no one says you should not appreciate other African countries, but do it without messing ours

uboma:




You have raised some valid points here.

During the two weeks I spent in Nairobi, I did not see a single generating set on the streets. Power was steady and security sure. Visit their banks to see how organised they run businesses. Kenyans employ mechanised farming, no wonder they export flowers on a daily basis to Europe. Kenya, even though a small country, is managing it's resources well.

Same cannot be said of Nigeria, the big brother of Africa!

Depends on what school you want.... Like for me I was in Daystar university studying nursing but I found out I don't really like nursing so I transfered to African Nazarene to study criminology.... Here in my school, the process Is not long at all, as long as you have good waec result, you get a photocopy, get it stamped at the Nigerian embassy and fill the registration form of 3500 ..... That's all...

And for tuition, for undergraduate courses, 3 credit hour unit is 15000ksh and 2 credit hours is 12000ksh.... I'm sure certificate programmes are way cheaper....

What course do you want to do? That way I'll be able to provide more information

Shut your filty mouth you bigot.where the hell have you been to thar you are ranting and displaying your high level of folly and ignorance.You claim to have visited the places you mentioned yet you are still uncultured and uncivilised.Did i say Nigeria is not a place to stay?The only thing i pointed out is the lack of basic amenities denied of the masses.Or if you have them in your area provided probably by an individual,are they evenly distributed?Let's face the fact!As for you Ugosample or whatever you call yourself,it is your entire generation that something is wrong with!If it is all well for you in naija,why did you leave there you hypocrite!

cutieme:
Thanks dear for the info,pls i'd like to do certificate program or pgd on education as a course.Pls can u drop me your mail address so as i could mail u as this is a public forum and there are restrictions on somethings,thanks

BedLam:
You are right! Some sort of decency you can't see in Nigeria. Imagine a Safari park in the middle of the City!
That's why their tourism is booming. Nairobi Airport is more than 3 times bigger than MMIA. So much life is here.

BedLam:
Show me where I am "messing ours" other than stating fact?
There you have it wrong, we have been working collectively for years but nothing. Favt is Nigeria is too big for most of these presidents, only true federalism will bring the glory of this country to life!
