I'm immensely impressed with those Kenya pictures. Immensely impressed. Those are knockout punches for this thread.
My naija brethren, just have the self-honesty and decency to admit governance in Nigeria is worthless. Hopeless. Incompetent. Nigerians are resilient people and often succeed against great odds, but governance is an abject failure. I've told you people to quit this empty chest-beating, but una no dey hear word. Big props to the poor countries in Africa who keep showing us what focus and organization can accomplish even with limited resources.

Impressive.

Lagos turning to a mega city

A city with over ten million should be Mega already that is how behind lagos is...

Nowenuse:


Have you been to Tema?

Yes
the last time i went there was like 4 months ago

Nowenuse:


Yes, you argued that Tema was bigger than Abj, that was why i had to bring in the comparison in km² from screenshots.

See, am from Plateau state and Abuja was created out of my state some decades ago, it is located in my Geo-political zone, North-central.

Where did you go to in Abuja? Garki 1, Garki 11, Gwarimpa, Maitama, Asokoro, Wuse 1, Wuse 11, Jabi, CBN, Wuye, Guzape, Jahi, Utako, Durumi, Mabuchi or the other 22 districts or Abuja municipal?
There are 37 districts in the 3 phases of Abuja municipal, where and where did you go??

I know that you will not be familiar with the names of these places, that's why i insisted we work with statistics, ok!

i was in Abuja City itself
and that was Abuja proper , I dont know whether its the place you call FCT
what i know is, its the part planned from THE 90s

Yes you have seen how beautiful the developed parts of Nairobi are. Go and check out the numerous and the large slums in the same Nairobi (which are the largest slums in Africa, with millions of people).
Do you have those kind of slums in Nigeria? Hell no.
Nairobi is far far smaller and less populated than Lagos, yet half of the city's population and landmass is dominated by slums.

Now, tell me, did that stop Kenya from being ranked the best country in East Africa?

Thank you, we are just wondering why Arinze and co. are wasting so much time posting photos that represent abject failure wherever they were taken. Its surprising those guys are not feeling ashamed. They are so embarrassing. Kenya is way ahead man, almost catching up with S.A

so in your mind Nigerians don't insult Ghanaians huh? if you don't start the insults we won't start one. BTW never ever think that we know nothing about your country. we know the positives and negatives of it.

Nigerians know little about Ghana aside from insults as well

Look below your comment. You actually deserve that lengthy from Iblawi, myself and others here. Your question got me rotf

Just talk about something else ok? Your question is very embarassing and so obvious you have never been to Abuja before.

@stervydman


READ THE MOST INTERESTING STORY

The fight first started with the 'Treaty of Wuchale' Article 13. Which was signed between Italy and Ethiopia (Emperor Menelik the second)

The treaty was both written in Amharic and Itallic . . .

"Ethiopia have the right to exchange goods with the outside world without the permission of Italy"
is what it says on the AMHARIC version

BUT THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS ON THE ITALLIC VERSION

"Ethiopia DON'T have the right to exchange goods with out the permission of Italy"

The Emperor of Ethiopia didn't know the two versions have different meanings. He only read the Amharic version, so he signed it.

This was the first step Italy took to make us under them. They knew we wouldn't sign the Treaty if they'd make both versions same meaning.

An Ethiopian who knew how to speak Italy showed up and informed the Emperor what the Italic version was saying. The Emperor got very dissapointed and felt dared.

The next move of the Italians was to fight us and colonize us. One thing they didn't know was that there was an Ethiopian spy in their team. (Am very sorry, I forgot his name)

He recommended them to go fight Ethiopia on Sunday. And the day was on holiday, 'In Ethiopian Orthodox religion, Ethiopians don't fight on Sunday. And plus the day I have recommended you is a special day for them. They will take it as a sin fighting in that day. There is no better chance than this! " the Ethiopian spy told them

Infact, all he said about us was true. And the Itallians beleived him. The General promised the Queen of Italy that he will bring the neck of Emperor Menelik.

The spy also told the Itallians to chill and go for the fight because they were about to show up in Ethiopia without letting the Emperor know that the fight will be taking place on Sunday.

But the Spy have already informed the Empror immediately after the Itallians agreed.

All what the Itallians expected when they show up in Ethiopia was sleepy people. But it was the exact opposite, the Ethiopians were waiting for them with unity and scary power.

Before the war started, Emperor Menelik asked the people of Ethiopia, "for those who have strength, help me with the fight. . .and for those who don't have that, help me with your prayer"


The war started, every Ethiopian had their own contributions on the war. Women give aid and bring water for their husbands (which were fighting on the war)

Even the wife of the Emperor, Empress Taytu had a big influence. She ordered the troops to fight in different directions.

There was a time when Ethiopia was loosing. . .because the Itallians started digging and hide in the ditches. So whenever the Ethiopian troops pass, they will kill the Ethiopians.

The Itallians stayed in the ditches for days. Empress Taytu ordered the ET troops to stop moving, then she started
looking for a solution. She knew there was something important in there that they stayed in the ditches there for long. She predicted if they had access to water, so she ordered to find and cut the water pipe. Which she was right!

The itallians came out weak then Ethiopia had a victory. Many Itallians were captured. . . .

The Italy government asked for the captured weaopns. But. . .
Emperor Menelik returned all the Itallian troops and thier weapons.

"Next time you come for a fight, you can bring the whole Italy population, we will defeat you!"
was the statment of Emperor Menelik. . .

THE END


#Battle of Adwa

That was boss af #savage. Ethiopians are warriors men. MEN I WISH I Knew what the spy name was. Typical Europeans and their treacherous ways.
Why don't more people know about this?

Hati13:

Endinet had perfectly explained the battle of Adwa to you, but I want to add some interesting points.

After the battle of Adwa ended, many Askaris(Eritrean) POW were taken by Ethiopia army. There was 2 opinions raised to what to do with them. Menelik opinion was, all Askaries to be beaten by 80 lashes and Ras Mekonene opinion was, all Askaries one arm and one leg to be cut. The reason for his cruel idea was, because the Askaries were in huge problems with his father Emperor Yohannes IV before. Menelik was very against this cruel idea, but after a serious debate, Menelik granted his wish, because he didn't want to escalate the situation. All the Askaries one arm and leg was cutted. Most of them died after because of it. But the Italians POW were treated goodly.

In the 1936, the Italians conquered us , but in 1960 Rome Olympic, Abebe Bikila conquered them also.

LOL. Is that wgy Eritrean are so hostile towaedsanything Ethiopiam aside from the obvious split?

Hati13:

I really wish I could jump from this building.

Dude are you for real? I thought we were making things better for you here?

Yes, Kenya is catching up with Japan

Me, i actually love the beautiful Kibera, Korogocho, Mathare valley, Mathare proper, Mukuru kwa njenga, Kangemi, Kiambu, Kawangware and the numerous dozens of large Kenyan slums.
They look so beautiful and adorable. They are comparable with the districts in New york city and Los Angeles!

well when it comes to insults the whole world knows it's Nigerians who insults. twitter is my proof. secondly u got me wrong. I said we know more about Nigeria than u think. we know your positives and negatives but it depends on the moment though. if Nigerians are saying bad things about my country at a point in time, would you expect me to retaliate with good things about your country?

Oh God! Been trying to post the pic of the Bible but it didn't work. We use Geez only in Ethiopian Orthodox Church, which is why it's dying

Ppl in here knows Queen of Sheba, but they don't give her much attention. I don't think they take her as their descendant.

Yes, I love Emperor Menelik for his modernization and uniting Ethiopia

he brought the first
post office
school
hospital
cinema
telephone
hotel and car in ET

he is the first African to drive a car btw

Really? Where did he get the car from?

MtuMsuper:

Bros, are you aware how much money Nigerians can make from cultural tourism? Just by taking foreigners to different cultural festivals in organised groups with a seriously well planned itinerary, around the country without being a nuisance to the local community concerned? I see the Ghanaians doing it alot when they bring over lots of Aframs and carribeans to attend the various festivals and stuff. You can look up the tourist brochures of some european cities and see how they come up with a cultural tourism calendar for the year and use it as a model. Believe me bros when i tell you tourism pays and pays well.

search for osun Oshogbo festival

You're frankly the ones that sound like children. I used to brag a lot on the playground about my father and how rich he was when I was a child, but he was just a civil servant. I grew up. Looks like you need to do the same. This thread embarrasses me, because you guys project an utterly false image that even anyone with internet connection who has never visited Nigeria can rebut easily with small research. Lagos consistently ranks as one of the worst cities to live in the world in many surveys and yet, many of you here are peddling falsehoods and posting mediocre pictures that have been beaten hands down by your thread adversaries.

You're telling me to "get a life", yet, you're the one wasting your life on this embarrassing thread. You get sense?

Ghana flag is dope .. hi naija folks .. don't you think your flag is boring, the person who designed it didn't put in much effort at all .. just saying .. maybe one of you could enlighten us on the your flag .. especially the first green stripe and the second one .. what's the difference ..

True Nigeria's flag is lame but Ghana flag looks very similar to Ethiopia's own
