loooll guy its d fact ,I'm not loving myself. that y people run to naija wen they want to become successful in Africa . its like saying u want to go to america do that u can become a world success

mtis:

Okie about the darkies..personally i feel like Nigerians has a problem with dark color . Ok Yorubas are dark (in kenya we have the Nilotes) ,igbos are light (in kenya most of the bantus are light ) an hausa/fulani look kinda somalis in a way( We got ours here)..we add the swahili who look like arabs .We also have Arabs whites indians among others...
My personal observation is that Nigeria does not have many visitors from other countries apart from Africa continent..so seen a white skin for most is a shock so the obsession with light skin...i might be wrong buuuut..

Eastwalk:
Lol then Lagos is the busiest in the world

Lagos port

Muafrika2:

Are you saying East African Artists have fans in Naija? Anyone that got a bigger career by association with Nigeria? Don't mention Victoria Kimani. Its painful watching her career sink since relocating

Jayceon:
wait!!! Aren't nigerians the darkest people in Africa?

TayserMahiri:



What? I thought he was Nigerian? Your story is now looking like this thread.

uzzyfire:

don't take it d wrong way dude, but why are u an atheist?

Muafrika2:


You people just admitted that you only listen to your musicians. Its therefore safe to say that those Nigerian collabos are of no additional value to our musicians.

Which city in Kenya do you think is above average apart Nairobi and Mombasa, and are better than Calabar, Uyo, Enugu, Ibadan and Owerri?

Hbuyosh:
Jay254 has posted acreages of photos here. Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret,Thika, Lamu, Kericho, Kisii, Naivasha, Kericho.....these are all Kenyan cities.

This is Eldoret, our fifth largest town in terms of population. Jay has posted the photos of Thika on this and ther previois page, which to me is more charming than Eldoret.

forgiveness:


I never said he is Nigerian, check again.

forgiveness:



Kisumu vs Uyo Because Ibadan will knock out Kisumu one time if we consider the criteria l listed before and the ones below.

I will always considered many factors before I can give a proper verdict on these cities. Pictures can't do without pinpoint what are the things obtainable in them.



Business
Community
Schools
Health
Real Estate

Hbuyosh:
Nairobi city has 3.5mln pipo.

This is not the main CBD by the way, it an area called Upperhill district, adjacent to the famous Nairobi national.park.

Kenyanstar:


Mombasa city- 2nd biggest & busiest port in Africa
Capacity as of 2016
1. 23m tons of cargo
2. 1m TEU- Twenty foot equivalent units
3. Serves Uganda, Kenya, East Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, DR Congo, Ethiopia, S. Sudan & Somaliland.

Hbuyosh:
Not angry, rather we simply deny what we consider an innacurate chatacterization.
60% of Kenyans are ethnic bantus, the largest ethnic group in Kenya. Kenyan bantus are not phynotipically disimmilar from the bantus in the other countries in Africa say Zimbabwe or Tanzania or Zambia or SA.

15% are cushites, they look just like the cushites in Somalia or Ethiopia or Eritrea...
.they closely resemble the Nigerian fulanis to me.

20% of Kenyans are nilotes, the second largest ethnic group in Kenya. Most are dark, like those Kenyan athletes u see on the racing track, but noy all them really. They vary im complexion from dark to very light skin.

Then we have the asians, arabs, europeans, the halfcaste....


So, by stating that Kenyans are "USUALLY" dark, based on the athletes u see on tv or the masaai cattle harders is a total misrepresentation of the fact.

Nowenuse:


U have a very strong point here.

But we, or let me speak for myself, i watch many Kenyan musics, movies and news to see what Kenyans look like. I think you guys on average are darker than Nigerians and Tanzanians. But the margin is not so much.

Europeans or other outsiders will see no difference, so i don't think we should be making a big deal about it.

What i do observe most times is style. Many Kenyans (both men and womeng really do not appear very stylish, classy or dope to me compared to Nigerians and Tanzanians.

Jay254:


Hahaha I remembe president Bush adressing Africa as one Country (Nigeria to be precise).

TayserMahiri:


I'm sure you also do not find Britons, Germans and Russians stylish

Nowenuse:


Yes they aren't, compared to the Americans and French.

My first visit to Ghana was in 2000 and over the years, I have visited more than 40 times.

The road from Aflao border to Tema was very terrible but my first impression of Tema and Accra was very impressive. The stable light, constant water supply, street lights, smooth roads (though some parts were bad), low fence(unlike the wall of Jericho notable in residential houses in Lagos), traffic lights, organized police officers etc made me to be astonished due to the fact that I came from a city (Lagos) were almost all these were in nonexistent as at then. The reason for this can easily be thrased to the ineffective millitary regime.

Lagos was the shadow of itself and the disdain of the world. But take note that before the military regime all these were in place, some Koreans who witnessed it, confirmed Lagos was better than Seoul, in fact better than South Korea.

My point is that the military regime brought regression rather than progression and it was that that drew us back.

However, 18 years after our emancipation from the military regime, I can authoritatively tell you that we have witnessed massive development and progressed beyond imagination though the bad news of terrorism, kidnapping, corruption etc made more headlines in the international media than telling the real story.

Believe me, Accra was far developed than Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt 18 years ago in terms of infrastructures and development but my guy this is no longer the case because during that era there was oil boom and the profits were used to rapidly develop these cities.

Frankly speaking, Lagos and Abuja have developed beyond what Accra can imagine though they(especially Lagos) lag behind in basic infrastructures but I can tell you categorically that these are giving the needed attentions.

Though, I will agree that we should have done better but perhaps if we restructure the system of government.

Ghana was lucky to have J.J Rawlings who forever changed political system that brought stability and economic growth and progress in Ghana.

And to think that Ghanaians are craving for infrastructural development is beyond me, the outcome of the election showed otherwise.

But don't be decived that Nigeria is not progressing and doing nothing.

We know the next step to take and we are doing everything to achieve it.

Restructuring of the system of government perhaps could be the next and right step.
