u are not Yoruba talk more of Nigerian. no yoruba man will ever insult Ibadan and are sure about gwarimpa not being developed?

Leave the foolish Ghanaian called Vaxx pretending to be a Nigerian.
The fool forgot that Gwarinpa district in Abuja has the largest estate in Africa.

shervydman:


I understand u too but Nigeria has more labour output hence making the gdp bigger and likewise them too.......

china is the third largest economy in the world but can her citizens standard of living be compared with the citizens of UAE,the 30th largest in the world?

I agree.

I even like as they're been deported.............

Why ?

dude, Ghana's GDP report is from worldbank so I want a credible source for the Lagos GDP as
well not that of a Nigerian site.

Wow,
You sir are very funny. Even if i gave you 10,000 international sources stating the GDP of Lagos / Nigeria am sure you would say its fake.

The problem here is that you can't man up to reality. Ghana cannot even compare with Lagos talk less of Nigeria. .

Ok...

Here is a wikipedia Link ranking Cities around the World by GDP....Mind you this survey was done in 2010

In the Survey as you can see below:

Lagos Gdp in 2010 was US$74 billion. (still two times ghana's gdp in 2017 ).

Sadly,
Accra was not even on the list because it has no GDP

I just dey think wetin go make me join a foreign forum let say Cameroon when I no base there?
there was an article I read about the nigerinization of Kenya bout how they are trying to speak with the Nigerian accent(pidgin) and some of their musicians use it. I think they obsessed with us which is a crazy kind of obsession trust me.
what surprises me the most is the level of hate

See the filthy Kenyans here, their artistes are protesting against Nigerian domination of their local music airplay.

Just see how filthy and local their most talented artistes are. What a shame!

TayserMahiri:


Why ?

cos it suit them fine...........
Nigerian are industrious people,we can make it anywhere,so,if there's nothing legal for them to do,they indulge in illegal stuffs which is not good for the country's reputation.

obaaderemi:
How is Aramco three times richer than Nigeria when aramco,s revenue is lower than nigeria's gdp?unless you want to talk about per capita,which doesn't apply here because aramco is a company like the other nigerian guy already pointed out to you.Post links and stop sounding like a broken record.Yet you called yourself a Nigerian and you could sink this low to mudsling your own country.

aramco networth is over a thrillion dolla more than 400 billion dollar in two folds and a quater. Tell me what is federal goverment revenue per annum and let me provide you an annual reccord of aramco revenue. I bassically use company against nigeria instead when the guy was comparing a state with a country which are all illogical. I am man of truth and exposure. Because i am a nigeria i should turn black to white like the what most of us in nigeria do. No .

I'm waiting for that credible source bro. compare in terms of what? our population demand is OK in terms of our GDP, is that the same for Lagos or Nigeria?

Nowenuse:


Kibera alone has 3 million people, what about the other dozens?
Pls, tell that to the birds.

Okay, let's settle it this way.

What is the total GDP of Nairobi? Then we divide it by the 6 million people of Nairobi. If the GDP per capital is below or equal the national average, then it's obvious that half of Nairobi's population live in slums and poverty, but if it is far above the national average, (just like Lagos is far above Nigeria's average), then we know that the poor slum dwellers are not so numerous.

Are you up for this challenge??

Kenya's GDP = $75 billion
Nairobi's GDP = 40% of Kenya's.
Nairobi's GDP = $30 billion
Nairobi's population = 4 million
Nairobi's GDP per capita =$ 7500
Lagos GDP per capita = $4300

......and you still think Lagos is richer than Nairobi?

9jakool:

if you look at the cultures of many Sudan-Sahelian groups like Songhai, Wolof, Mandinka, you will see that their Islam is more liberal. I think the Fulani hegemony and aristocracy stems from the Sokoto caliphate. Imagine if the Hausa had kept their kings, I think there would be a less puritanical approach to Islam in the region and the education situation wouldn't have been the same as it is today. I think that legacy from Sokoto as well as the British involvement and indirect rule can be felt today. There is a disproportionally high number of Fulani politicians from the North. The upper class also has a disproportionally high number of Fulani even though Hausas are the clear majority. The Hausa-Fulani banner is just an alliance forged by Islam which is politically disadvantaged to Hausa and culturally disadvantaged to Fulani who easily assimilate. In a way the Fulani traded their culture for political hegemony. In reality, the two cultures are very different and almost opposite in some instances. One is pastoralist nomadic, the other is agriculturalist. One speaks an afro-Asiatic language, the other speaks a Niger-Congo language. I've seen many Fulani from Guinea or Cameroon complain about the Hausa-Fulani and they don't like the assimilation that's taking place among their people in Nigeria. Personally I see them as two distinct ethnic groups unless you are actually mixed. While settled Fulani tend to be more conservative, nomadic Fulani tend to be less conservative with many even upholding the traditional beliefs. It's ironic because they were the one who pushed for jihad and conservative Islam across West Africa, but they couldn't even fully convert their own people.

You have said nothing but the pure undiluted truth.

The Hausa-fulani alliance based on islam was a beneficial and destructive one too, with advantages and disadvantages.

DonnieTheGreat:


Sir, you are constantly disrespecting logical thinking!.

Ok....You win!!!. Lets compare Country with Country.

Ghana GDP vs Nigeria's GDP

There you go....Country vs Country. Nigeria's GDP is almost 15 times that of Ghana.

Happy Now?

whao 400 billion that is enough to buy ghana 10times. yet this rich nation is sick in development ,poor in health care , a hell to accomodate peace. what is wrong？ ghana that poor country with just a peanut not even up to dangote net worth is doing better in all this aspect. This must be a miracle.

Kenya's GDP = $75 billion
Nairobi's GDP = 40% of Kenya's.
Nairobi's GDP = $30 billion
Nairobi's population = 4 million
Nairobi's GDP per capita =$ 7500
Lagos GDP per capita = $4300

......and you still think Lagos is richer than Nairobi?

Ibadan state size= 6800 sq km + Lagos state size 3577 sq km. doesn't even reach the size of Ghana's western region that has a size of 24000 sq km. stop being ignorant.

baba borno alone is times 2 of Ghana

shervydman:


u mentioned NET-WORTH and not GDP remember.........hope u know the diff between the two?

am aware of the diffrence. and i also know that it is an ignorant idea to compare lagos state to ghana even somalia. It is country vs country. State vs state. You compare what arw similar not what are not

Just30:
do you know what a cost of living metrics is?
Do you know what the standard of living of a people is?
Dont you know, Accra is the Singapore of Africa?
Ghana is the single most expensive country to live in in Africa

I'll be celebrated in Nigeria for having just 15,000 cedis because it instantly make me a millionaire

See this illiterate. How can anyone from a developing 3rd world country celebrate high cost of living? Is that not madness?

DonnieTheGreat:


What are you saying?!!!!,
Armco is a company, how can you be comparing a company with a Country?.Companies don't have GDP!!. But Continents,Countries and states have GDP.


Ghana is a Country (GDP) -----> US$37.8 Billion

Lagos is a state (GDP) US $91 Billion --->Lagos has almost thrice the GDP of Ghana

Africa is a Continent with combined GDP (GDP) -----> US$ $2196 Trillion

California is a state (GDP) ----------> US $2.448 trillion


So from the data above we can derive that:

1. The GDP of Ghana a Country is almost three times lesser than Lagos the smallest state in Nigeria

2. The GDP of all African Countries and states inclusively combined is Lesser than the GDP of California one state in America

3. Yoruba people are regarded worldwide as intellectuals......You are neither acting like a Yoruba man or an intellectual.(Am sorry if its sound insulting)

That guy grew up in the north and he has the mentality of Northerners.

How will someone claim Ghana is better than Nigeria because of roundabout and tallest flyover? The guy is a disgrace to be sincere.

Lagos GDP as at 2015 is over $130 billion

which millions are you talking about? Cos a million naira is just 14,000 cedis

Yet an average Nigerian is richer than an average Kenyan and millions of your people are dying of starvation without any form of political instability or insurance... heck! you should cover your face in shame..

False ...... average earnings of a Kenyan = $278.55 /month.

Nigerian = $230.45/month

My friend Nigeria is poor and there's great inequality, but a Ghanian has no right to label Nigeria poor, because even your top 20 richest Entrepreneurs cannot compare to those from Naija in terms of net worth, so siddon one side, if South Africans dey talk l go hear.
