Then it would be wrong to compare Port Harcourt to Mombasa because PH is not a tourist destination. Its economy isn't based on tourism, but on oil and petrochemical industries.
Bonny/Ibani/Ubani is also old city with centuries of history as well. It traded with the Europeans, particularly the Portuguese for centuries.
It has many features of Mombasa, although with less tourism. It's also a port city.

Don't mind these people, imagine the jay guy saying he doesn't trust the Nigerian GDP figures, saying how come we have almost the same budget as that of Kenya, he is talking of our federal budget, not even reffering to the budgets allocated to each state here, probably he thinks our states are like the counties in Kenya. You don't have to take them very serious.

Jay254:


Do you know Kenya has Counties/ states each with its own Budget.

abuja what？ out of the 66 district that make abuja only 6 district is really developed. all the district that make greater accra can be consider develop in west african sense. some district in abuja are far worst.

the airport development you saw was an extension of the old airport to accomodate little aircraft maintainance. and avation fuel centet. first in west africa . second to tripoli airport.

new extention of the old kumasi airport is also underway. i pray the current goverment continue.

lagos is leading as a commercial hub in west africa simply because of population and not base on enabling enviroment. accra might overtake that position if it continue with its current development. although it can be debate. Journesbourg is not as populated like lagos yet it bost of a strong economy that can be compared to europe standard. Likewise alexandra in egypt.

Can you compare their budgets to that of Naija? We have 37 states, so many cities and local Governments and the states almost act independently.

Jay254:
The other side of Mombasa

Jay254:


Do you know Kenyan system? Do you know how many Counties/states we have? Do you know their Budget?

Do be so sure for on things you have no information about.

Mombasa

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

freshest4live:

If you don't mind, can you please give us the list and their budgets, Thank you.

I think it's also as a result of the religious diversity in the middlebelt.

nice pictures. I just wished atleast 30 of our 54 countries on this continent will be developing like this.

Nigeria is still one on the most un equal countries in the world in terms of wealth distribution.

Being the biggest port in East and Central Africa Mombasa mombasa has so many industries for both local and export oriented.

Lastly Kenyans are not as extravagant as Nigerians hence the shock when they landed.
Note that JKIA might be the biggest Airport in E.A but the busiest in E.A and Central Africa is Wilson Airport with over 600 take offs per day, it is mostly used by private jets.

So all the infrastructure we have or we are building are for tourism?

If you do not know Kenya has higher HDI than Nigeria.
We have higher literacy rate than Nija.
Nairobi host HQ of more Multinationals than Lagos

Jay254:


Its clear Nigeria Cannot compete with Kenya when it comes to Resorts and Hotels... Apart from Music what can we admire or borrow from Nija?

Economic dominance.
Can you show me any Kenyan business that is affecting Nigeria? I can list many Nigerian business and creations that are affecting Kenya.

Nowenuse:


How the Bleep do you conclude that Mombasa has more industries than PH? Do you know that PH is the oil capital of Nigeria?
Or is it because we did not show you the dozens of industries in PH? PH's worth is estimated at nothing less than $20b. Where do you think that comes from?

Kenyan cities may have more millionaires on average, no doubt, it shows that wealth is not evenly spread in Kenyan cities unlike Nigeria that's why Kenya has more slum populations than Nigeria who contribute nothing and make Kenyan cities appear very poor on income per capital levels (poorer than the national average).

Hbuyosh:
"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.
