Kenya maybe better managed does not make it richer than Nigeria though. Cameroon may have light 24/7 does not make it richer than Nigeria. Rwanda may have a National carrier does not make it richer than Nigeria Statistics still show that Nigeria's per capita income is still higher than Kenya. Nigeria's case is like that of Malaysia and Taiwan. Taiwan is much richer than Malaysia but not well run. They say in Asia if you want to sack a lazy employee and don't know how to go about it, simply say he is transferred to Taipei and he will quit immediately. Despite all that, Taiwan is still much richer than Malaysia. Lagos state on it's own has a GDP greater than that of the whole of Kenya. I had a friend who spent 3 years in Kenya and admitted the place is more better organised that Nigeria. He still says Nigeria is richer I also met a Kenyan lady (well cultured) who was in town for 2 weeks. Unfortunately, she did not go round She had a few complaints about Nigeria especially the unfriendliness of Nigerians who were impatient because of her accent ![]() ![]() ![]() We had to bail her out 3 Likes 1 Share |

grandstar: You're late to the party. We exhaustively concluded your REAL GDP is max 220 bn USD. Your stats Chief, Yemi Kale has for years taken you on a very cruel ride to lala land! THE TRUTH IS YOU SIMPLY DON'T PRODUCE ANYTHING! We looked at critical consumption data and even did a sectoral breakdown of your economy. All your stats, agriculture, ICT,construction etc,etc read more like Uganda or Zambia,nigga! Do this:look at the countries you supposedly group with on the global GDP per capita list and compare the following-steel/electrical use/vehicles per thousand/meat and milk consumption per capita and see the truth. Prof Johnson Falade was right when he said your REAL GDP PER CAPITA WAS ONLY 1154 USD IN 2011. Mind you this was 2011 way before your recession, so its even lower now. That comment on accent is ho babble,irrelevant feminine noise to which many of you are addicted as we've repeatedly seen. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

kikuyu1: Though you made a lot of strong points, it does not still change things. Crude oil, which is basically the foundation of the country gives it a heads up. If oil revenue was to disappear today, the country will be in crisis but I doubt it will hit the disastrous figures you gave. When you look at the Gulf Arab states, they may lack the similar stats of European economies with similar or even lower GDP's. The oil industry has played a disproportionate influence in their economies |

grandstar: Irrelevant! They're a world away from you. This is your real economy; Again reading thro the comments of your guys explain why Nigeria is the butt of jokes globally. Zero Critical thinking. We've looked at Nigeria budget - that include revenues - both at state and federal level - and the difference btw Nigeria and kenya came down to few billion dollars.Well I think you should I have quit at that point. You see the budget consist of revenue+ debt/deficit financing - and of course how realistic those projections are. I did look at you internally generated revenue and I was shocked! In 2017 - Nigeria Federal IFIS - collected about 4 trillion Naira with 1.4 trillion coming from petro-dollars - in total taxes it collected - is mere 12-13B dollars - with 1/3 of it's coming from oil.In 2017 - All the Nigeria states collected just slightly less than 1 trillion Naira - with Lagos collecting 1/3 of that - that is another 3B dollars - with Lagos collecting about 1B dollars.[/b] In total - Nigeria's states and federal gov - collected taxes worth 15-16b dollars (depending on which exchange rate one uses). In 2017- Kenya Revenue Authority - collected 14B dollars...and all counties combined collected (from levies & fees) around 1b dollars.. So in conclusion..Nigeria the giant of 200M people with supposedly 500B dollar economy grin grin manage to collect as many taxes ($15B) as kenya the dwarft of 50M people with 88B economy grin - and about 4.5B of that from oil. So if you remove oil - nigeria total taxes is about $10B - against kenya's $15B grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin. The paper tiger can only raise about the same tax (minus oil) that Tanzania raise...whose GDP is 10 times lower than Nigeria - I mean over-cooked GDP. Btw,naira to usd is 370. Read the whole thing twice and see Prof Falade was right! [b]If you can come up with reliable economic stats we can discuss. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Lying at the far end of Nkrumah road in Mombasa CBD and sitting on the edge of a giant coral reef is the mighty and historical Fort Jesus Mombasa. The massive and gigantic fort built by the Portuguese in 1593-1596 is one of the most visited and famous Mombasa tourist attractions. Fort Jesus Mombasa showcases Portuguese military power and is a present day evidence of the struggle to take over and control the island of Mombasa. Fort Jesus changed hands severally; it was initially occupied by Portuguese, taken over by the Arabs and eventually the British who later used the fort as a prison in the colonial times until 1958 when it was declared a historical monument. In 2011, Fort Jesus Mombasa received a major boost and international recognition when it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 2 Likes 1 Share

Obi1kenobi:Maradona would envy your dribbling skills. ![]() You started by saying Hong Kong never[/b]wanted anything to do with China. Later you claimed you never said so.After your lie was pointed out, you came back to say [b]you had made concessions on your wild generalization.Now that lie is just "an oversight". ![]() And yes autonomy is synonymous with independence. But I was careful to use the term "for all intents and purposes" when referring to Hong Kong. Why?Because it functions as an independent country with its own constitution, economy, currency and relatively free press(which ranks far higher than China's) and representation at the Olympics. But point out where I said Hong Kong is independent since this "autonomy is independence" is the only fight you got left. I never said Hong Kong was independent,so what's your argument. Apparently, you are the one who didn't understand what autonomy is. If you did you wouldn't have made the statement below: Obi1kenobi (m ):Hong Kong citizens have not pushed for its autonomy. It has been autonomous since the British left.And no,that massive support by the citizens is not the reason it is an administrative region. It is so because the British negotiated a 50year autonomy for Hong Kong. [s]1) That was not the argument. The argument was originally about the fact that smaller nations are not driven by the same vain ambitions as big nations, and have no reason to "envy" them as you claim. Everything else about Taiwan, Hong Kong etc were tangential to that central point.[/s]Maradona again. ![]() ![]() 2) I harboured an erroneous notion about Hong Kong before researching polling data about independence support, and didn't even recall I typed that wrong notion in my post. It was an oversight, rather than a "lie" - it would make no sense to lie about something when your post on it remains in plain sight for all to see. You have abandoned trying to make sense with cogent arguments and kept on trying to score points with that oversight in your desperation. An oversight that is hardly central to the point I was making. You instead go on wild tangents that have no relevance to a point, all to misdirect from the simple fact you were wrong about a point. This is why several posts later, you can't concede that your earlier dismissive, smug claim that independence and autonomy are the same thing was wrong.It's a good thing this argument has pushed you to make some research and concede on your earlier generalization about Hong Kong. That's my aim from the beginning. Case closed on that affair. Good boy ![]() Taiwan hasn't declared independence because China has explicitly threatened military force if it does so:In your own case [b]lie=oversight[/b]How can a man say something and later say "I never said so.",then say again, " Oh,I didn't remember I said so before. " and expect to be taken seriously. Come on! I think I have done Justice to this. About bully thing---If you feared the big boy who bullied you in primary school,it was because it was clear to you, you stood no chance against him and inwardly no matter how small the desire-- you wanted to be strong and big too so you could defend yourself especially if there was nobody to defend you.Envy sets in especially if the other children in the class cuddled up to the big boy. ![]() India has over 2,000 ethnic groups with Hindis (about 40%) being the biggest (all the rest are less than 10% like Bengalis, Punjabis, Gujaratis, Tamils etc). It's a very complex society and they've had a lot of internal strife and military conflicts, and still have tensions with Pakistan today. They're ahead of us because of better governance. Has nothing to do with the Europeans. We are the architects of our failures. Funny enough, the amount of aid Kenya and Ghana receive has a lot to do with how progressive they are. Ever wonder why Obama visited both countries, but not Nigeria, the "giant"?This is weak.I already gave my thought on this and it's not clear to me if you have given your thought on the question I asked you. If India is ahead of Nigeria due to historical background concerning the formation of both countries according to me, which of course you are fighting tooth and nail to discredit, what accounts for the backwardness of say for example, Ghana and Kenya when compared with small and medium sized countries like Malaysia and Vietnam? Is it because the former are black and not as smart as those 2nd world Asian countries? Finally, since you have failed consistently to substantiate your fraudulent claim that Nigeria is the most corrupt country and to cite the fact that you are a Nigerian as your reason,I think I will let you rest on that case.It's clear that was another of your famous generalizations or just another " oversight ". ![]() And I don't know when an American president visiting a country means that country is progressive. Even Clinton visited Nigeria.

grandstar: Here's what happened when we looked at your agriculture. First I when I said Nigeria GDP was over-cooked this was merely an hunch based on all COMMONSENSE - but the more I digged in the more I was convinced it was totally over-baked.Okay I guess all that didn't prepare for the SHOCK I got 1hr ago when I actually took the trouble to check GDP figures from the SOURCE. Okay so at it's apex (and now) - NIgeria GDP was 500B plus grin grin grin Impressive yeah. Dig down a little bit.... Agriculture (farming), Fishing and Forestry accounts for what WHOOPING 40% of that GDP. Forget that Nigeria's agriculture long collapsed for a second...and actually the talk is to revive? So just stop there. Nigeria Agri/Fishing & Forest is 40% of 500B. That is 200B dollars worth of GDP right there. I am not sure which country in planet earth has really BIG AGRICLUTURE/FISHING/FORESTRY - But I started from US ( I think Netherland, Brazil, Russia, Canada etc are some good examples). And you know when I checked..US's FARMING, FISHING AND FORESTRY HAS NEVER BEEN WORTH 200B dollars. [img]https://policyinterns.files./2015/06/imagegen-ashx.png?w=374&h=299[/img] In short Nigerians are telling us their AGRICULTURE/FISHING/FARMING IS WAY BIGGER THAN US. US that probably has 10 times Nigeria farm land...and 10 or 20 times it's productivity. Grandstar,without oil,I'm sorry to say there's very very little of anything and the little remaining is massively over exaggerated with quite comical scripting like your Stats head,Yemi Kale's unemployment figures. Read here his accounting methodology. This is a dude who'd been arrested for fraud anywhere else! Using a new method, Nigeria's official statistics agency announced that unemployment stood at 7.5% for the first quarter of 2015. Previously it would have been 24.2%. Here's what has changed and why.https://africacheck.org/factsheets/factsheet-how-nigerias-unemployment-rate-is-calculated/ See how he artificially reduced your unemployment rate yet your people risk rape/starvation/death and slavery crossing the Sahara. At the same time Prof Falade,UN Habitat head,specifically stated back in 2011 TO HIM SHOWED THAT,LOW FIGURE FOR GDP PER CAPITA INCOME OF $1,154.https://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/10/half-of-nigerians-live-in-slums-un/ We're growing in other ways too. Kenya is at a demographic transformation stage. Fertility levels are declining gradually and Kenyans are living longer. There is reason for optimism that Kenya can benefit from a demographic dividend within 15 to 20 years. I[b]t is estimated that its working age population will grow to 73 per cent by 2050, bolstering the country’s GDP per capita 12 times higher than the present, with nearly 90 per cent of the working age in employment.[/b][url]https://www.nation.co.ke/oped/opinion/Demographic-Dividend-Youth-Kenya-Society-Population/440808-2840490-15hihh6z/index.html [/url] In my lifetime we'll be an Australia or at the very least a Malaysia. Addendum: Brazil's Agriculture ( Which in GDP mean ISIC divisions 1-5 -includes forestry, hunting, and fishing, as well as cultivation of crops and livestock production) I told you about Yemi didn't I? Any literate person would scream with laughter looking at these stats,really! Only illiterates or people suffering Borderline Personality Disorder would find them believable.

kikuyu1: Agriculture does not account for 40% of GDP. Nigerian is a lower middle income country. Such a very high Agric ratio are for low income countries like CHAD agriculture: 21.6% industry: 18.3% services: 60.1% (2017 est.) You are focused on the productivity of the farmers in Brazil. They are commercial farmers who sell almost all they grow, Here, the farmers are mostly subsistence. They eat a large portion of what the grow. They also sell large amounts of foods primary they are a large army of small scale farmers. I have nothing wrong with Kenya being richer than Nigeria but its not true. Kiberia is the biggest and sadly the biggest testament to the size of Kenya's wealth. To have the largest slum in Africa when compared to the size of Nairobi tells a lot. I can even glean further Kenya's wealth from the suits you wear. Kenya's are of lower standard than Nigeria's. 2 Likes |

Indeed according to Yemi Kale Nigeria agriculture is so huge its 6th globally as of 2017 just below China,Usa,India, Brazil and Indonesia.Note those countries in terms of land mass are like 10 nigerias.Note those countries appear in top exporters of agricultural products.Nigeria compete with bottom 10 in africa agriculture exports.Nigeria apparently has a hidden gem producing yams,cassava and millet worth 80b dollars now..with high of 100b few years ago.With just 0.9m km sq they are neck and neck with Brazil,India, China and USA with rougly 9m sq kms each.The nearest they can compare is Indonesia with 2m sqm kms.And 60% of nigeria is semi arid North.Please cook if you need to but dont overdo it.That is why nigeria is capital of poverty.Nigeria are desperately looking for zim white farmers to resuscitate their farming as they try to diversify .Their agriculture died in 1970s..but like any poor nigeria con job their gov is claiming despite being 10 times less than brazil they neck to neck output wise..step aside israel or netherlands...here come nigeria the garden of eden.Turning 0.4m sqm of land farmed exclusively on low dollar value crops like yams and sorghum into 100b dollars.Obviously those whove gone to nigeria will tell you of thousand of acres of fallow land like no where in earth.Everyone in 70s basically ran to towns to partake in oil money.Well that is just nigeria wash wash tech..turning a dollar to a million..with special chemical that you need to buy.Never mind most of oil money is used to import food including tomato paste..11b dollar spend to annual import just rice, fish and sugar. 5 Likes |

obaaderemi: No ambiguity exists. You pretend it does, so you can rehash the point again and again. I long conceded that poll numbers show less Hong Kong people are inclined towards independence than those favouring the union with China.
How many days of preparing this response and this was the best you could do? Firstly, the emboldened in disingenuous horseshiit. You said and I quote: That is a generalized comment. You weren't referring to Hong Kong alone (in which case you'd still be wrong). Even in this very post, you have continued with the line that autonomy and independence are synonymous, while in another breath earlier, trying to contest my claim that Taiwan is independent. And you were talking about Maradona? ![]()
I'm guessing you were in a coma during the Hong Kong protests of 2014 where hundreds of thousands marched on the streets. Hong Kong's retention of its privileges depends on vigilant observation of China's overreach. China has already violated a number of provisions of the Sino-British treaty, but it's in a position to bully Hong Kong, so they can't do anything about it.
If you thought that was the crux of the argument, you have attention deficit issues. That was where the argument got sidetracked into a tedious back-and-forth about Chinese geopolitics, but was hardly the actual point. What's my business with China? I was refuting the absurd claim that every small country just wants to be like all the big countries, nevermind that many of such small countries are willing to die to free themselves from the big countries. That is what the argument has been about and addressed to the vain, nationalistic egos of many chest-beating Nigerians who think many African countries give a shiit about their country's size. Taiwan's long past history with China is irrelevant to the aspirations of Taiwanese today. Run around in these circles all you want: the fact remains a plurality of Taiwanese citizens are very proud of their country and fiercely protective of their Taiwanese identity and don't give a shiit about China.
Maybe. Sub-saharan Africans mean/median IQ test scores consistently rank at the bottom of all global territories evaluated. ![]() Why not compare India or Indonesia's development to their small neighbors like Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Myanmar etc? Wriggle around all you want, population should not be an excuse. There are many small failed nations in Africa and around the globe. Nigeria's failures might be rationalized with partial attributions to its political complexity, but there is so much more that explains the rot. If Nigeria, the "giant" had any real regional credibility (since apparently everyone is so envious of us as you keep telling the Kenyans), we should be regarded more seriously for American leaders to pay us a visit, don't ya think? Bush or Obama had no interest in visiting Nigeria for the same reasons they don't visit Somalia or Sudan? ![]() 6 Likes |

The Kenyan juniors led the match from start to finish, cruising to a 16-9 lead in the first set and allowing the neighbours only six more points as they neatly tied up that set with a 25-15 score. Tanzania offered some commendable pushback in the second set, and were trailing 8-6 and 16-13 at the first and second technical timeouts before ultimately succumbing to a narrow 25-21 loss. The hosts continued in their winning ways in the third set, leading 8-4 at the first technical timeout and never looking back on their way to a convincing 25-11 finish. 8/26/2018 Kenya blank Tanzania in U-20 opener - Daily Nation https://www.nation.co.ke/sports/Kenya-blank-Tanzania-in-U20-opener/1090-4729886-41huj6/index.html 3/9 Team captain Mercy Likhayo was breathless but elated after the match, saying that that was the good start that she and her fellow team mates had prayed for throughout the week.

Agriculture is indeed the mainstay of our economy and everything you see in Kenya has been built on the back of that sector.Its Kenya account for around 23-5% of GDP - right now that would be anything around 20B dollars. That is when it's strictly restricted to agri as per UN classification - however much of manufacturing is also agri-based and so are many things. We produces 20B worth of agri output and export around 4B dollars. We are world leading exporters of tea, horticulture, flowers, nuts, coffee and many such goods. We have deficit in few foods - small deficit in maize , rice and wheat - . I don't know much about Argentine (apart from their world class beef industry) - but looking at data - it agri is 6% of it's 640B GDP - that put it around 40B dollars. Or twice kenya. So you're wrong. Mr Obababoon your patriotism on anything Nigeria is admirable but Nigeria requires honest conversation because it truly a shit hole - the world capital of absolute poverty - with nearly 70% of it's people living below 2 dollars a day!! You can cook your GDP (which is essentially OIL) but you cannot cook reality. obaaderemi: 3 Likes 1 Share |
