your comment make me laugh. you know what. am seriously laughing at your ignorance. If i have the ability to command mutilple language should that be your beef or your are jealous. Having mulitiple language,skills is an act of inteligence. I also speak a handy of german and french.making me more versatile than you.

you said i am making a disgraceful comment but you have not been able to debunk one and argue it out. dont you think you need a psychological cunsultation.you appear insane.

any logical mind that read my post must have note that my education background is impresive. no self praise. i was able to lecture you on nigeria economy and educate you on what you dont even know. unless you want to deny it.

here i will offer solution to your problem. it has been identify. it is madness . i will get you a theraphy which is good education to cure it before it get out of hand.you know in yoruba tradition a mad man must not enter market if it does. He will not find cure to his madness. So get yourself good education from intelectual like me. No self praise here it is just a fact.

Me jealous? of who? pls stop that joke, and what you call lecture is what I call display of stupidity, cos all your posts are pointless with useless comparisons, me learn anything from you? lol... you have to lecture yourself first on your ignorance bro

Wait oh, so there are water problems in Kenya too?

freshest4live:

Wait oh, so there are water problems in Kenya too?

Stay there let them be deceiving you.

With a population of 46.7 million, 37 percent of Kenyans still rely on unimproved water sources, such as ponds, shallow wells and rivers, while 70 percent of Kenyans use unimproved sanitation solutions. This translates into more than 17.3 million people using unimproved water sources and 32.7 million people using unimproved sanitation facilities.

u dey form patriotic nigerian bah?

9jakool:

No, what you don't want is context. So Nigerians should blame the state of their country on themselves and not on the people who stole from them? So the people who stole billions and billions of dollars from Nigeria have no fault in Nigeria's problems today. Lol, so Nigerians are just "blaming" their dictators since we all know the dictators didn't do anything wrong?
So you as a Kenyan know what Nigerians went through during those years, so when Nigerians blame their dictators, you as a Kenyan who didn't endure what they endured know better than them? Even other countries are willing to attribute many of Nigeria's problems to the neglect it endure during military rule.

Let me give you an example, communism was the form of government in East Germany, while capitalism was the form of government in West Germany from the end of WWII to Germany's unification. Till today, the unemployment and poverty rate in East of the country is significantly higher than the West. Till today, the HDI in the East of the country hasn't catch up to the West. Would it be fair to blame the state of East Germany today on East Germans and not the communism it endure for decades?

Gini is calculated by World Bank at certain times. The chart is based on World bank's estimation. Anyways, the number you gave for Kenya was from 2014, which is more recent than that of Nigeria which was from 4 years prior. Either way 0.5 is almost irrelevant, Kenya still has a problem with inequality just like Nigeria if not slightly worse. By the way, you haven't address the corruption problem in you country. I'm still waiting for that, stop dodging the question.

You say it's from world Bank, why can't you provide the link? You can't just say something is from world Bank and expect everyone to believe you.

Welcome to kenya home to the world largest and poorest slums. This is enough to attract tourist. Enough to represent what a slum looks like anywhere in the world.

Sometimes I wonder, do you guys have Google maps in Nigeria? You're so hell-bent on this slum thing pushing in everyone's face how 60% of Nairobi is slums. Why don't you go to Google maps and see for yourself? Why don't you view Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Kisumu, Eldoret, Kutale, Thika, Nyeri, Kisii, Machakos, Kakamega and every other Kenyan town and tell us if you can view those 60% slums? What do you get from repeating a lie that's been told over and over and convincing yourself that it's true?

Hbuyosh:
Are the Nairobi slums bigger concern than the slums of Lagos, before I respond to your other questions?

Lagos state has only one slum MAKOKO, i have proven that to you guys here countless times. Nairobi has the largest and most numerous slums in Africa and that is a fact.

NairobiWalker:


You say it's from world Bank, why can't you provide the link? You can't just say something is from world Bank and expect everyone to believe you.

The map is credited to the author, Macy Hunter, who claimed to get her sources from World bank. Now that that's out of the way, since I've done my own share, don't be a hypocrite and cite your own sources too with the date and source.
https://www.google.com/search?q=gini+map&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiS5-ni2O7TAhXI7YMKHYxGAa4Q_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=974#imgrc=OZxUq6IeUaCfiM:

Now, admittedly the credibility of the author might be in questioning as I just realized she's an editor on Wikipedia, I'm going to actually use the actual figures from World Bank. World bank's Gini coeficient is calculated sporadically and not on an annual basis. The last calculated Gini by World Bank of Kenya was back in 2005 with a Gini of 48.51. The last Gini index of Nigeria was done in 2009 with a Gini coefficient of 42.97, the previous Gini coefficient by WB was calculated from 2003 and was 40.06.
You can download the excel file from http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.POV.GINI?end=2014&start=2014&view=map&year_high_desc=true


In Oxfarm's report looking at the inequality in Uganda, it gave a Gini figure of 0.477 as of 2013.
News Article: http://allafrica.com/stories/201703310178.html

So, there you have it. Case Closed

Since you are focused on this particular claim, I don't see you refuting my other claims. Mmmmmh interesting...

NairobiWalker:


I'll give you Google images of Nairobi v Google images of Lagos to shut your mouth on this 60% slum stupidity.

Kenya's urban population is 35% not 25%. No much difference from your own 40%.

Go back a few pages and see sources tabled by Hbuyosh on sizes of African middle class. Maybe that will wake you up from your slumber of bliss.

Why do you lie recklessly?

According to the world fact book on urbanization, Kenya was only 25% urban in 2015, while Nigeria was 47% urban.
Check the link below

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2212.html

Google map cannot estimate the population of a slum because slums are irregular settlements, hence a slum occupying a smaller landmass can house more people.

Hbuyosh:
These Nigerians dont want to face the facts that Nairobi is morr developed than their Lagos. Nowenuse, perhaps we should start inundating this p
thread with the Nairobi suburbs here. We should start comparing the suburbs in Lagos and Nairobi here.

I can say this quite straight facedly that, in the ssAfrica, only the South African cities trounce the Kenyan cities in terms of the quality of the residential areas.

I have dared all the Kenyans here before to a challenge of pictures of Lagos VS Nairobi average and low middleclass suburbs, but they all evaded and chickened away.
So, are you up for the challenge now?

I corrected him on this too, but he didn't respond. You can see he's trying so hard to relate Kenya's urbanism to Nigeria's by stretching the figures.
I mean it's not a surprise, Lagos alone is the largest city in Africa. It's not even an argument, it's hard fact that's difficult to refute based on the stats.

Islamic sects r not a core- northern stuff, but a general Muslims tin. D fatanics up north hv dsame affiliation wit dere brothers in d MD nd d southern part of d con3.

D 2016 Zaria massacre was an example of such: Military did d killings, but does who celebrated it are nt only d northern fanatics, but d SW fanatics as well.

Fighting doesn't necessarily means carrying arms only. You can also fight nd support a cause with ur mouth or by writing. Check most of does justifying d Shiites killing on NL to understand beta. Besides, was d Nyanya, bomb blasts mastermind not an " Idoma" from d MD( Benue)?.

Does fanatics irrespective, of wich region u r frm don't consider u r complete muslim unless u r part of Dem.

I'm from d core-north( Jigawa precisely), but a friend of mine said; " musuluncin ka dama- dama tunda kafi Yan shi'a( meaning: Your Islam is manageable,because its beta Dan dos of d shi'ite')."

Kai, abokina, na gaji da wannan musu.

I wonder how you really intend to dispute the fact that yoruba and middlebelt muslims are more peaceful and tolerant than core-northerners on average.
The whole world knows this.
Go and educate your people (core-northerners) out of their ravaging illiteracy and high poverty rates before you come here to argue anything. Your people have some of the highest poverty and illiteracy in Africa and not just Nigeria.

I didn't say it. I've posted many sources here before now that claimed Nairobi alone have over 200 slums. Kibera have nothing less than 13 communities and it's in the heart of Nairobi, Kenya. Please tell us how many communities are in the other slums.

The recent source I posted still claim 2/3 of 3.5 million people that live in Nairobi stay in slums.
The good part of it is that you have the largest slums in the world with the poorest set of people living in them.

I bet people like Iblawi fell for your written yoruba. I cannot fall for your written hausa because i know that many Ghanaians can speak and write yoruba and Hausa.

You claim to know Nigeria, but first of all you disgraced yourself by claiming that Abuja has 66 districts instead of 37, and now you claim that Kawo is in Jos instead of Kaduna.

You are either a Ghanaian or half Nigerian half Ghanaian or a naturalized Ghanaian from Nigeria, but you are not fully Nigerian (born and bred in Nigeria).
So, CHALI, stop claiming Naija and stick to your Ghana!!

That's cool. So, what are works on ground?

The satelite town development agency (STDA) of Abuja was created specially for the development of Abuja satelite towns.
There has been a lot of construction and renovation of roads linking and within the satelite towns. Estate developers are being given plots in satelite towns and forced to develop them by the govt, and you won't believe the beautiful, standard and comparatively cheaper estates being built in some Abuja satelite towns.
Niger and Nasarawa state govts must put their hands together with FCTA in this, because many Abuja satelite towns have developed into Nasarawa and Niger states. Nasarawa state governor is trying here but Niger state governor is something else.

Nasarawa state government is serious because they generate more revenue from Karu local government area which shares boundary with Abuja than Lafia the state capital.

I hope you'll shut your mouth now.

I have checked out almost all these places you mentioned and what i observed is that most of these places you listed are just estates and neighbourhoods. Whereas some of the places i am listing for you in Lagos are entire local govt areas and towns with hundreds of thousands to millions of people, dozens of estates, streets/neighbourhoods that function almost independently of Lagos city.

I have now really concluded that there is no need to compare Lagos and Nairobi.

There is nothing to argue with you, because all Nigerians know that you core-northerners are the ones dragging Nigeria backwards with your religious extremism. Don't try to drag middlebelt muslims with you in your backwardness.

You can imagine what that shameless Zamfara governor came out to say, that God is punishing his citizens with meningitis because of their sins.

I asked you, why don't Kwara, Kogi and Nasarawa muslims or yoruba muslims fight for sharia law in their states as core-northerners if they so much practice the same kind of islam? You could not answer.

How many times have you heard Igala, Ebira, Gwari, Nupe, Bariba or Alago muslims burning churches, beheading people or fighting people of other religions in their homelands?
Or you think all Nigerians don't know how core-northerners discriminate yoruba and middlebelt muslims as fake muslims ba?
