I appriciate the fact that Nija culture especially of dressing has had great influence in Africa and the world.

I appriciate Nija Music better than our own.

I appriciate the fact Nigerians have spread to almost all countries in the globe.. including the very sick countries of the world... That is ambition.

I believe Nija can do better if they improve on

1. Focus on its tourism attractions expecially on places like Kano and Calaba.
2. Improve the image of Nigerians to outsiders
3.Work on uniting the north and the south.. to outsiders nija is one

And you have valued the whole of Nigeria with all the natural resources and investments to be sure the whole of nigeria is not more valuable than a mere $1trillion dollars when it produces 400bn a single year?Don't you sound silly to yourself?countries can't be valued that way.You have to base it on gdp.So basically,it's nigeria's gdp vs aramco's revenue,which pales besides nigeria's yearly income(gdp).I am still waiting for your link.

infact i under value aramco. Aramco worth over 10 trillion dollar. A revenue of 311 billion dollar.. Give me nigeria revenue as of 2011 or 2017 .This is for aramco.. And if you failed to do so. Go and hide your face. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Aramco?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C1543610985

I have to think about this for a while
If they can be willing to inhabit kenya somali border

I say put them in Somalia with the KDF, strictly in the front lines.

What a Tsunami!

Yes, but Nigeria can never be as unequal as Kenya with wealthy people living in the beautiful CBD side by side with residents of Africa's largest and most terrible slums.

They would rather live in slums than risk drowning in the Mediterranean to wash toilets and ashawo in Europe.

that $10t is the overall worth of the company,not the amount of money it generates,u can never calculate a country's worth that's why GDP are used on a yearly basis......to make u understand clearly Aliko Dangote is currently worth $12b,thats not the amount he generates yearly but the amount of all his assets,his shares,his plants and factories,his everything which he has acquired over the years.

a nation's GDP is yearly while a company deals with asset.

if countries are run on asset.....do u think UK and Japan will be among the top 10 nations cos they don't have natural resources or very little.

True. But at least they are making some progress and are not regressing.
I think TZ took the swahilinization thing too far. It somehow secluded them and made them quite local in mentality.

But the way Tanzanians portray themselves in their musics, movies an tv shows seems very contrasting with what we are saying about them. Why is that so?

(I may be wrong) but they seem to have a higher urbanized and lively social population than other East Africans from what i have observed. They also tend to appear more beautiful, neat, reserved, civilized, friendly, classy, easy-going and cool-headed than Kenyans (am very sorry if i seem too indiscreet), that's just my sincere and personal observation from Tanzanians and Kenyans i see on TV. Why is this so?

What's wrong with you dude? are you deliberately trying to start a flame war between Kenya and Tanzania?

gallivant:

now tell me....what is the percentage of Nigerians that risk drowning in the Mediterranean sea?

forget it........no qualms

one thing I've noticed is that people on this forum will join at half way and instead of them to check the last page in order to see the latest development.......they'll rather start at where they stopped and begin to give unnecessary comment that can stirrup what has already died down.

so, I'll implore us to always check the last page and see if we're learning or bashing each other before we comment.

TRHANKS....

I met a young Yoruba fellow today in Nairobi..he taking CS related degree in local University.very nice chap..so the question is like whats wrong with ya Nigerians when you seat behind ya keyboard.its like ya possessed. Many Nigerians out here think ya country is not great like you sound. OK Kenya is not perfect either but we always demand change..but you guys is like the ship is sinking but no one gonna tell the captain about it.You looking at other ships passing by an bad mouthing them not caring that ya ship is sinking.

that is why i base it on revenue. i knew quite alright that it is wrong to compare a company with a country just like it is wrong to compare state with a country. Base on the revenue generation. Aramco generate more revenue than nigeria . Brother uk have a natural resources but not significant.

So you are not a Nigerian sef and you kon dey lie give your ancestors that you are truly a bas.tard as you said in ur previous quote
You are a shame to humanity and Ghana so you had to deny your country just to display your hate for naija. Well if continue like we might just wish you RIP in advance coz Naija issues go kill you lastly

exactly the problem everywhere...........all African countries are still in developing stage so expect anything.
another key topic bolded.......no African country is great like everyone sounds but no one wants anyone to tell him/her their problem without minding theirs....u gerrit?
why do u say we are like the sinking ship?

Nowenuse:


Can you see how you cheaply evade facts?

Okay, my facts are wrong.
Give us the official data for Kenyan metropolitan area population and it's GDP/GDP per capital, or is that too much fact to ask from kenyans?

Kenyan metropolitan area........u meant Nairobi I assume.

If u want the GDP of the Nairobi metropolitan region, the satelite suburbs or towns within the fringes of the Nairobi boundary, u'd then need to look at the GDPs of the counties (Kenyan equivalent of states in your country) in which they belong. If u reread ur BD report u presented here, they mentioned Kiambu and Kajiado counties as having the highest per capita incomes in Kenya. Now these counties, including Machakos border the county of Nairobi, and there are huge comcentrations of settlements in the parts of these counties bordering the Nairobi county, that people would consider them really parts of Nairobi, however noy really within the Nairobi county jurisdiction.

Thete4, the Nairobi merroplitan area refers to these settlements that bave sprung ip invthe edges of Nairobi county boundary, its residents working in Nairobi but commute back to these outlying towns.

That's the part I like most and that's what many Nigerians are crying about. With the resources we have we could have done better. It's not that we are not moving but we are moving at a slow pace.

you are the one lying here and you need to hide your face. Nigeria revenue as of 2016 is just 56 billion dollar. Wiki is available. even 116 billion revenue of aramco is more than nigeria revenue from last year to this year in combine. Aramco as a company is to rich to be compare with nigeria as a country

Okay, i know all this, but the buttom line is that core-northern muslims are more fanatic than the middlebelt muslims on average and there is no point of debate about it.
The higher illiteracy and seclusion of the core-north is part of the disadvantage of the core-north.

Both d MB and d CNrth fanatics r from dsame religious group " Birds of a feather, flock together."

This is about the only kenyan or ghanaian post that tallies a bit with reality.Sub saharan African countries are generally doing poorly.kenya,ghana,nigeria;not one of them has a per capita close to$5000 or100% energy satisfaction,no meaningful manufacturing,high paying jobs are scarce,all are far below 100 in hdi ranking and yet everyone's been making it sound like all is well.at least some nigerians admit things aren't smooth, unlike the others.

iblawi:


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

What are d mentalities of a northerner?

Then why is the North dominating you guys politically.does it mean that they have strong balls than you.You guys describe them as poor an academically challenged but they do control much of Naijas politics. Actually have heard that they control Naija's oil (not sure about that)
