Your link looks at GDP per capita (PPP) .. the other chart depicts incidence of poverty; thus the percentage of people living in poverty .. the two measures are not same

This list is based on purchasing power parity( which matters the most).
What is your chart based on?

NairobiWalker:


Definitely better than the average earnings of the 45% unemployed youth in Nigeria.

Sometimes l wonder where you get your own statistics from?

TayserMahiri:


Do you guys have rhinos btw? How about game parks?

Sorry am ignorant about that

Yes, we have. They are endanger, but there population is known increasing.

Yes, we have also game parks.

Photo I had taken last week.

NairobiWalker:


Why are you using 2015 figures? Bring us the 2017 figures buddy. are you scared?

What difference does it make bro?Can Ghana's GDP grow 15x in under 24 months? .

Hati13:

WOW!!!!. Ethiopia is beautiful!!

Mr. looolman, you always sound like your brain is always blank.

Take it easy,man. And you uzzyfire,this your 'looooooooooll' can be very disconcerting at times.

obaaderemi:
An illiterate like you who decided to compare a country and a company should know that GDP will be used for the country while REVENUE would be used for the company and in my post which u just requoted i said 'gdp'.so u dont know that after paying 83% of its $118bn revenue as tax, aramco gets less than $40bn in a year?'Akuri',that's what we call people like you in Yoruba.

e wo nkan ti ode yii tun so. Oponu so iwe nu. Ni won pe iru eyan bi ti e. You want to sound right by all means but you lied here again. Give me your reference not an assumption. Nigeria generate revenue likewise aramco. Do you know how much it will be left behind after nigeria dispose its expenditure from its 54billion dollar revenue. A aramco earn more and pay less tax if you dont know. Ma ko e.

Joonana:
Your link looks at GDP per capita (PPP) .. the other chart depicts incidence of poverty; thus the percentage of people living in poverty .. the two measures are not same

Percentage of people living in poverty in Nigeria varies from link to link, some say 33%, others say 45%, 70%, 80% and even 90%.
But think about this, about 97million people in Nigeria(more than 50% of the population) are active subscribers and internet users. How can poor people(living below 1 dollar a day, 300 naira) subscribe to the internet actively. Do you know the number of Niger people who troop into Nigeria all the time as their paradise? Only to come here to beg? Even our core Northerners would feed many of these people, and yet you put them above us? Lol. The person who made that chart must be high on some strange weed.

Khoda:


Where i come from doesnt matter here.
and Im not saying my country is paradise but not as currup as Nigeria.
And no dick measuring here it is just the fact.

Kikikikiki .. and u are begining to sound like a kid.
who is talking about forum here.?
How does ur forum helped u in ur countries present economy situaltion. Kwaaaaaaaa

Look at this otondo, check your first comment on this post and tell me who is sounding like a kid, When I saw the comment I needn't be told where you come from. When you type with so much hate and speak ill of Nigeria, you don't expect us to cuddle you, much more in our own forums... Now tell that your crap to this your Ghanaian brother and bleep off my mentions.

human index is the basic of development. if there is no human development then what do you called development.

A NI O GO PUPO,o go gan ni o. So you don't know aramco pays over 90%(i didn't even know it was more than 83%)as tax. Here is your reference,Dindinrin http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/10/news/companies/saudi-arabia-aramco-oil-ipo/ So what is left after paying 90% as tax?That's why aramco is being valued at just $400bn in some quarters.But u started by saying aramco is 3 times richer than nigeria.So because samsung earns $300bn,then it is richer than saudi arabia whose govt revenue is a paltry $190bn?Didinrin agbalagba.

arinzeejikonye:


Wonderful, you tried even though you didn't cover everywhere,
Benin is the capital of edo state,


So based on your travel and adventure, would you say Accra is more sophisticated than lagos, please be honest

@arinzeejikonye why has joonana not answered your question? I like to know a Ghanaian view on both cities because it obvious that lagos more sophisticated than the conurbation of accra - tema.

GERALD710:

Dude
1.Port Harcourt basically....Stinks. The place smells of fish and crude everywhere.Please do not say it is because of the oil industry.Mombasa has a refinery and imports pertoleum products for the entire region and does not smell like that.
2.Can you show even a single beach on Port Harcourt.And I mean a beach, not a sand collection site like virtually all beaches in West Africa, save for Senegal ,look like. Because they are all composed of rough yellow sand, the one used in construction.
Ours are made of sugar white soft powdery coral sand
The place is all mangrove(which we have in Mombasa, in creeks, not at the beach.And the beaches are littered everywhere!!

3.Port Harcourt has better transport facilities than Mombasa.That I very much agree!!Mombasa does not have a mono rail.However, the road system is currently being upgraded and so is the commuter rail system.
But on an estate level, Port Harcourt is a big FAIL.Most estates are covered with dirt roads.Mombasa as of 2015, is more than 70% carbopaved
4. Port Harcourt has better health amenities than Mombasa
Lawd!!!In Nigeria, not even Lagos measures up to Mombasa in terms of health facilities, leave alone Nairobi.Nigeria's health sector both public and private is CRAAAAAAAAP!!!
5.Port Harcourt has better city and more highrise than Mombasa. The last two pages showed 25 highrise already top up with others already on ground. Pls, take note that highrise is defined as structure with 12 and about floors.
No it does not.Who told you Mombasa's high rises are concentrated in the CBD alone
Port Harcourt has better vibrant Estates than Mombasa.}
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!Woooooi!!I actually come from Mombasa, we live side by side Arabs,Swahilis,Coastal Africans,Asians and more recently, Europeans like the Brits ,Italians and Germans.
Port Harcourt is dominated by one community, the Ijaw followed by Ibos, all dark skinned fellows, making the place look boring and very very very very very very very!!! Poor English!!!
Port Harcourt has better Sport amenities than Mombasa .
Yes it does.Our staduim construction has been delayed for several years now.
Port Harcourt has more refineries than Mombasa
You mean refineries that have not been working since the 1970sDude, who are you trying to fool We all know Nigeria has been importing fuel despite it being a crude oil producer.The entire Africa knows!!!
We had a functioning refinery until 2013 and according to the BBC, West African fuel is 'Dirty fuel' imported from Europe.The fuel in East Africa is actually the cleanest on the continent!! We actually made several reformes in 2005 where we banned dirty fuel.Meanwhile even plastic bottles in Nigeria are not safe!!http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-37373414
As for Industries in Mombasa.Mombasa is the second most industrialised city in Kenya and the third in East Africa. A simple google search gives you 3000 resultshttps://www.google.com/search?q=Mombasa+Industries&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b#q=Mombasa+Industries&rflfq=1&rlha=0&rllag=-4060012,39656432,940&tbm=lcl&rldimm=6504144230609431674&tbs=lrf:!2m1!1e2!2m1!1e3!3sEAE,lf:1,lf_ui:2
So what are you talking about Mombasa has the largest Dockyard on the continent after Durban.We actually do ship repairs here!!


Port Harcourt has better public schools than Mombasa
Lawd!!!At no point has Nigeria's public school system ever been superior to that of Kenya at primary or secondary level.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Index
So No.
Plus Mombasa's public schooling is waaaaaay above even that of most Nigerian cities. Leave alone Port Harcourt.

bla bla bla bla , abeg guy how do u know portharcout smells like fish and crude oil abi can u smell portharcout from Kenya

NairobiWalker:

not far from Kenya's

DonnieTheGreat:


WOW!!!!. Ethiopia is beautiful!!

This place had been annexed to Tigray from Amhara after the fall of Derg gov't.

There are also many other beautiful landscapes in Wage Himera, Wollo(formerly known Beta Amhara), Gondar, Begamider, Gojjam and north Showa. All those zones are in Amhara regions.

Oromo, Tigray and southern states regions are also beautiful.

NairobiWalker:


Kenya has a larger middle class by percentage than Nigeria. So what's your point?

Kenya ;30million

Nigeria; 183million . some people are really don't undstnd

sugomu supo. Wikipedia put aramco revenue on 311billion dollars and value the net worth of aramco to be over 10 trillion dollar. My question is this to you apoda omo kekere. If nigeria finish its expenditure from 54 billion dollar revenue how much will be left out. Saudi arabia is richer than samsung even if it earn 300billion dollar. Saudi arabia gdp stand at 1 trillion dollar. Have you seen pe olodo ni e.

the varied incidence of poverty is a reflection of the varied exchange rates in Nigeria .. depending on the exchange rate considered, a certain level of poverty is arrived at ..

Now consider this .. the minimum wage in Nigeria is N18,000 .. from this figure, what's the daily wage in USD? do the calculation and compare to the poverty line $1.9 or working poor $3.1 .. let's know the exchange rate you'll use for this .

It is 45% of unemployed graduates. Youth unemployment has never been higher than 25%.

NairobiWalker:


I laugh when you use military rule as an excuse. Were those militants foreigners or fellow Nigerians? If they were Nigerians then it simply shows how effd up Nigerians are.

guy just shut up and stop guessing rubbish, u don't know anything abt Nigeria so just leave it

lol so you are not as smart as i am thinking. germany is the most populated country in the EU behind russia. it perform well above france with almost population size and uk . infact germany human development index is better than uae ,bahrain ,qatar ,austria , finland and many smaller country.

1.9 dollars which is about 600 naira or at least 400 naira in 2015 would feed you well in the north, these people also have the largest populations and they are usually farmers( Agriculture contributes the highest to Nigerian GDP not oil). The north is the food belt area of the nation. You have lived in Nigeria yourself and you should know better.

Hey dude . what do you want to know .. Lagos is a bustling city, it's an economic nerve centre, no doubt .. but why would over 21 million people be cramped in a space barely 2/3 that of london? Accra is much livable than Lagos, no doubt ..

popizaino:

boss dont say that.. its the only thing Naijas can brag of ..if we do away with it there will be mass suicide

yah dats true, and I guess we cannot brag abt having d biggest movie industry in Africa and 3rd in d world , it we cannot brag abt having d biggest music industry in Africa , or we cannot brag abt how d richest blackman in d world is Nigerian or how d richest blackwoman in d world is nigerian or how most of d biggest companies in Africa are Nigerian companies or how we are building Africa's first mega city yes our GDP is d only thing we can brag abt

Omg who is dunderhead please!.
China and india has the highest poverty rate?
Kikikiki anyways im not suprised.
A country who can only provide an illiterate to rule over 150 million people.

Let me lecture u dunderhead.
The worst part ur country is BELOW the normal benchmarck for pover. Meaning it is worst.

Now look at the chart here and look at the list of little poor countries u are battling poverty top spot with.. and just very soon u might overtake them and be at d no1 spot.
Im not beefing u here just dishing out the truth.

u see how useless and hatefull u are , Burundi has a population of just 11million so where did d 68million people living below poverty line come from chai, they will just cook up useless facts just to bring down a giant

Joonana:
Generator? i don't know how to operate that .. in fact i am allergic to generator, to be honest ..

loooolll OK oooo but wen Accra becomes richer than Nigeria ,then I acknowledge this fact

Khoda:


U are a dunderhead!.
That chart is for countries with worst economic rate'!.. ur country is reach but the masses ar poor and are dying of hunger.

UR COUNTRY IS NUMBER 6 in the list of countries with worst poverty rate

but d GDP of one state in that poverty stricken country is larger than d Kenya's who are u really mocking

NairobiWalker:


Are you disputing that Kenya's GDP is $75 billion?

no but Lagos GDP is higher

ok ooo .. when you get your share of the GDP in your pocket .. i'll acknowledge the fact that you're living a better life now .. till then, let me enjoy my power, water and peace .. i'll learn to operate a generator and water pump in my dreams ..

In a day, 600 naira is good to go. Have you lived in kano before? In kano for instance, bread for two people for one day is not up to 300 naira.
