It's not by echoing it on your black lips. Bring proofs.

http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/news/Nairobi-ranked-8th-on-World-Bank-list-of-rich--poor-counties--/539546-2951310-uotkygz/index.html

I wasn't the one who published this. It was the world bank.
Nairobi and Mombasa may have wealth, but the wealth is like poverty considering the number of people who live there.

"wealth is like poverty"......what do u evn mean by that?

Anyway....

Something doesnt click right in that BD report, ostensibly culled from the WB.


ONE. I cant find the original report from the WB website.

TWO. How comes that, according to this report in the WB, the Kenyan national GDP per capita is stated to be 695$, yet in the WB report, 2015 the Kenyan per capita income is estimated at 1700$? Kenya's GDP clocked $69bn year ending 2014 according to the WB report. (The latest report states the GDP at 75$, fyi). With the national population of say 46mn, as of 2015 there is no way that the per capita GDP cld be only 695$, simple rithmetic. 69bn$/46mln= 1500$.

In any case, Kenya is currently ranked as a midle income country.....u know the WB criteria for ranking countries economic statuses.

THREE. Well, if Nairobi contributes just 12% to the national GDP, not 40 or 60% as hitherto claimed by some estimates, then (69bn$*12/100)= $8.2bn total Nairobi GDP.
Nairobi population is 3.5mn. Now $8,2bn/3.5mn should be equal to around $2400. How did sumbody arrive at that $1065 Nairobi GDP PC figure in the BD report?

Sumbody must have had meth for breakfast before compiling this report.

What is there to be jealous about?? RWANDA had one of the worst genocide they came out stronger, Angola was in thesame shit they came out stronger.. Just to prove you wrong they did not go to stone age..

Hahaha most of this guys have been blinded by their politicians...

I read somewhere that the oil mined in Nigeria since 1956 is equal to Brazillian Economy .

At times I believe Nigerian Figures are cooked to hide the reality.. you find a city like PH with same GDP as Durban S.A.

Only blind ppl can believe that

Lol, so who is cooking up all these figures for Naija and how have they managed to deceive the world so far? This is news to my ears.

I have seen many misinformed individuals in here

When you are not exposed to the outside world you will swallow whatever propaganda your leaders feed you.

uzzyfire:
he needs a specialist, he's health is very bad. and I heard some of d doctors treating him in London are Nigerians

Yeah. His most trusted doctor is an Igbo man who used to run a hospital in Kano.

This is not the suffer-head Olympics but what Rwanda went through is different from what Nigeria went through during our war in the 60's and 70's.

Jay254:


I have said here athousand Times no one believes Nigerian figures,

Look at this way
PH has almost 2m ppl while mombasa has 1.2m
Both have 1000 dolla Milionairs dispite the population
Mombasa has way bigger port than PH
Mombasa has way better City, more Highrise than PH
Mombasa is way more multicultured more industrialised than Ph

Nairobi on the other hand has a population of 3.5m while Lagos has over 10m
Nairobi has 6200 dolla millionairs while lagos has 9100 take note of the population and the difference.

Nigerian Central Govt had same Budget as Kenyan Central govt at 22b dollas.

So I do not trust those Nigerian crap

Bro, stats change. All the time. Nairobi has 9,400 + dollar millionaires. Not that's anything other than a number. Just a number, not anything more. I want to be amongst them by years end, though.

Jay254:


Does Nigeria have a working refinery at the moment?.

I know Dangote is buiding one.

until the time Dangote builds it, Nigerians will have to do with imported refined petroleum.

From Ivory Coast.

My bad Kenya and Ghana had the highest growth of dolla millionairs.

So Nairobi and Lagos has almost same number of dolla millionairs...

It's ashame to this giant. All the best to your dreams bro.

Nowenuse:


Why then are these bogus paintings of yours not reflecting in the GDP or GDP per capital of Accra and Tema?
Accra and Tema are also very very small in size compared to Abuja municipality, even with all the economic and industrial activities?

Are you here to learn or to keep finding words from my mouth to argue about? You know you confirm my point earlier that a lot of nigerians are ethnocentric and chauvinistic, if you are really interested in knowing the positive sides the web articles you munched from provided the info i stated and much more, if you read it you won't come up telling me this. and what does the size of a city have to do with the revenue being generated in a city..?? is it not the activities in the city that brings revenue. smh.

Maduawuchukwu:

but that guy made no mention of any war you fought in the 60's and 70's,he is talking about the current militancy taking place in Nigeria

freshest4live:

But let me ask you, Nairobi and mombassa has wildlife, gameparks and the rest, then the gdp should compete with Lagos and not even PH or Abuja(which they don't compete with). That is to show you that gamepark alone or wildlife is less important than constant commercial activities in a city. Don't you agree with me?

Most of Lagos GSP is locked up in the Ivory towers of the big financials. It has nothing to do with the common guy/chick. When you divide all that wealth with the number of people, you get a grossly inflated per capita GSP, that doesn't reflect in anyway whatsoever in the general life conditions of the average Lagosian.

Get rid if this notion that Kenya "depends " on one commodity only. The wildlife attractions, its associated tourist earnings are just a cog in the machinery. This is what happens when you come from a country which has been a mono(oil&gas) economy for more than 5 decades. You become fixated and addicted, and you think everyone else is a drunk!

they also import from ghana and no noise is made

Yes, HNW(High net worth ) individuals roam freely in Nairobi just like wildlife. And you wouldn't even know it!

iamord:

Yes, that too! Its like Saudi Arabia importing sand, Ghana importing cocoa, or Sweden importing snow!!

Jay254:

even ghana experience terrible hunger in in the late 60.70.80.and 90 but they were able to come out of it. Nigeria as a country has not face 1over 4 of the hardship ghana encounter before.

please ignore those wh are comparing accra to abuja or port harcourt. It does not tally. It is accra vs lagos or portharcourt vs tema

MtuMsuper:

Very true I know quite a number, you can never tell unless you know them.... I do not think most Nigerians can be that humble. They would have turn Nairobi roads to Run ways..

Maduawuchukwu:

Yeah. His most trusted doctor is an Igbo man who used to run a hospital in Kano.

Obviously thats his personal physician. Not the one treating him in London

MtuMsuper:

isnt it shameful to say the least, what you have in abundance? it speaks of a high level of decay in a society.. if you cant get that single thing right.. i wonder what else.

mtis:
Naija guys you need to Market ya cities.for example Nairobi is well know all over the world as the only city in the world that boasts a game park.What about lagos or abuja ..? do people associate them with something ..an please dont say generators

Lagos has marketed itself very well as a city of chaos

freshest4live:

Lol, that's right, but in the meantime while improving medical care, you must get the best for the sake of your health if you can afford it. The problem though is the rate of improvement of the Nigerian medical sector, which seems slow.

See now oo. His health deteriorated at a faster rate than the health sector improvement.

Africans are really comic characters

Got to be the most ludicrous legislation ever.

They should be treating him in Naija but for the fumes

loooll yet our population is. growing faster than d speed of light

Man, stop saying this. That means things are only getting worse

NairobiWalker:


The same people who claim they don't even think about Kenya have there blogs full of Kenyan stories. Lol. Talk of denial

There was an underlying and unstated, yet very obvious drive by forces known and unknown to constantly and consistently portray Kenya /Kenyans in bizarre and sexually explicit terms and language on NL. They however weren't able to reckon with the backlash. In fact, there was a time kenyan was an adjective and not a noun! It's confusing them alot.

skylane:
All these african countries soooooooo jealous of the abundance of Nigeria and its people,no african Nation like Nigeria,entertainment,wealth,resources,cultural diversities,tribes many more,kenya ahead by how?any african other country facing the corruption,miltancy and all violence that Nigeria is facing,wud hav gone back to stone age by now, but nigeria is still standing strong,among the top 2 economy in africa,gbam!

Tell this to Biafrans
