i am very disappointed right now...i already took a picture my zongzong.....

mmmh i can only imagine

bantudra:
now i wonder how you kenyans would even manage a population of nearly 200million people with una mindset....
you people are already complaining because of some immigrants here and their....

nawa....

That's what happens when you have a redundant population, ...economy should grow faster than the population

bantudra:


lagos was not planned to accomodate such a large population....abuja is a planned city.....
lagos just keep growin and growin although the capital is in abuja now....

that place is a peoples magnet.....we nigerians dont even understand why....

even the governor is complaining.....

lagos is a great place it just needs proper infrastructure and planing most africa cities need that even nairobi and they will be able to perform globally

Kur17:


With $400B fake GDP, by the time we reach 200m our GDP will worth some several trillions of dollars

you are trying to argue with people that dont even know what gdp is....

i dont know what gdp is.....

i just dont care....we nigerians think completly different than you kenyans....

who gdp epp....?

The whole Africa is in a mess, because of the decision of our government has made. It is embarrassing! Our government keep borrowing money with out permission or willingness of the people, but even 100% of the money isn't given to us but to their stomach. Then we or the next generation is obliged to pay for that. All we inherit here is a bid but nothing else.

Mrembo,I must disagree! I always see this and just run out of words....Anyway,here's why we're poor-WE WERE ALWAYS POOR! Uncolonised like you settler colonies like us and Zim and non settler countries like Uganda and Naij were always poor! Immediately after we attained uhuru there was an immediate jump in longevity and a drop in child and maternal deaths across the continent-WHY?
Pls do some research,that goes to everyone else here;we're caught up in easy dishonest narratives that have us believing we were all once Finland or Canada when the truth is even Kenya will reach the 'Phils 3000$ per capita in another 5 years. Point being:we need to remember some facts!
By the mid 60s with increased educational investment;coupled with better health and increased spending the sky was the limit for Africa! This was the time of water for all/schools for all/food self sufficiency for all by 1980. It seemed possible ,and it was,actually. The 70s rolled in and came with the oil shock-A BARREL ROSE FROM 3 TO 12$ IN ONE YEAR!!?
Social spending was slashed,all the ambitious plans were put on hold and African countries independent for merely a decade struggled. Ishyt got worse:as stagflation worsened,the price of our commodities,coffee,copper,cocoa,tea etc etc fell. As obvious macroeconomic problems appeared a new problem rose. The WB/IMF and their structural adjustment policies,ruthless rigid rules presupposing our economic problems were caused by overly structured top heavy economies when nothing could be further from the truth!
They insisted basically on these measures with little difference
-free floating currency
-privatisation of all parastatals
-sharp reduction in social spending,when health and education were already underfunded
-regardless of social costs,joblessness,strikes,riots,screams,tears etc etc

We Africans had to learn new things very very quickly-blaming our leaders is like blaming the drowning tsunami victim;they're equally powerless!! I wish you'd talk to guys who were senior government officials in the 70s and 80s and the shock at how a never ending train of mutually reinforcing problems derailed all national progress;how everything seemed slanted against us and truly it was like the unravelling would never never end!

you dont first insult people and then await the same people to listen to you.....

TayserMahiri:


You cannot downplay the catapulting effect your minerals had on your economy initially. Your gold alone let alone all the others. Im pretty sure its only lately (and by this I mean a few decades) your economy has properly diversified. Back then the draw to SA was your Gold. We should have started on an equal footing (i.e with no minerals) and by now you would have realized why we tend to be the loners in this league of big boys as the only major non-mineral economy. Its not a joke.

Thanks for the clarification to him or her,I don't even know which gender he or she is.

Since then Nairobi has added 3over 20flrs and more than 15are under construction, even your lazy backup is ahead in this case

Skyscraper is not determined by numbers of floors but by It's height which must be 100m.

As it stands, Lagos has more skyscrapers than Nairobi. EOD

20 floors are built every year in Lagos. I know we have more than you claimed.

Now, show me your source and list the 30 floors you have.

Listen to a sane and well travelled Nigerian speak...

chineji:
I really wish I could show more pictures from my trip but the others had my face in it and I dont wanna show my face. We are really suffering in Africa. I used to be one of those who believe in this continent but I don't anymore. We are living like animals especially here in Nigeria. Nigeria especially is the worse amongst all African countries. Nigeria lacks the basics a country that can't provide electricity nor water for its citizens or even healthcare. In all of Italy, healthcare is free. They live so long. You see so many old people on the street. They get sick they go to the hospital and get treated for free and they got quality healthcare. We got absolutely nothing in Nigeria. I am back to Nigeria now and at the moment I am confused on what I wanna do. Everything here feels so strange and so weird. Everyone in Nigeria is suffering I mean it everyone. You have to really go outside to see how bad it is here.

Anyone that wants to leave Nigeria should do so ASAP. This country and by extension much of sub Sahara Africa will never get better. I mean even Gabon that has so much oil and very few citizens has so much poverty and really shit infrastructure same with equitoreal guinea.

The most painful aspect is that most African leaders travel to this countries regularly and see how things are done here and see how people live like human beings but cannot replicate same in their home nations.

Anyone that has an opportunity to leave Nigeria should waste no time. We are suffering in Nigeria. Life is not all about money quality of life matters too and quality of life in Nigeria is shit real shit.

I just love the Nairobi nightlife

forgiveness:


Who cares? Does it change the fact that Lagos has more skyscrapers than the whole of Kenya? No!

in 2005 when i went to kenya. The plane could not land and we hovered around for like 20mins . From the skies what i saw ehn. Light everywhere. NIGERIA can never be great or have basic amenities

You Chugwoo and Kim Ki Hyun have been arrested some minutes ago with fake Dollars and Euros... I think u should know

bantudra:


no,thank you....keep your visa.....i no wan die....

Real Nigerians talkin

Hadampson:
I disagree with the "will never be part because nigeria would be great ONE DAY, maybe in 5,000 years time

The question that usually infuriates me the most is WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO DEVELOP THIS COUNTRY?

Please do i look like a builder or politician?
I know the development of a nation depends on the people and the leaders. In Nigeria, people are not that powerful, our leaders are but what are they doing? they are doing what they know how to do best, that is to embezzle the public funds and run to a sane country to enjoy the money with their families.

I have done alot of things to change people's mentality. Guess what, they are far from changing.

Seriously, as i am o, i no fit work for Nigeria, even if i get work for NNPC. I don't care. What i care about is myself and if possible, i want to invest, Nigeria would be the place... That is the least i can do for Nigeria.

g down here

my Kenyan fools bragging abt places like Nairobi dat only their rich men can live

68816419:

fool, so u support the deportation of other Africans and you allowed Indians, Brits and Italians to be citizens .? , how stupid could that be, why don't you deport these guys(Indians,Brits and Italians) and see if your country won't be worst than "Zimbabwe".
I will keep saying this, Kenyans have been mentally defeated and it's only devin redemption and intervention that can help out.

Real Nigerians accepting reality down here

Skyscrapers Nigerias biggest achievement I wont even argue on that, just wondering how those skyscrapers get their electricity . How can you climb your skycrapers without a lift

From today i will be quoting sane mature Nigerians as part of answering you guys.

A Nigerian answer

zubino:

Earlier this year I travelled out for a training, I cursed Nigeria from my day 1 till the final day I came bck. At some point I questioned God for allowing me be a Nigerian.

When I came bck, I told some of my friends that anyone that dies in Nigeria without travelling out missed a huge part of life everyone should experience. Nigeria is almost a curse considering our level of hardship & uncoordinaion.
No wonder some Nigerians would rather die in foreign prisons than return to Nigeria.

Algerian1:


Africa in the antiquity was a region in north africa ( now days all tunisia , east algeria and north west libya ) . so the first population called africans are the north africcan berbers . and it was hundreds years before the name was generalized to the rest of the continent . and ancestral berbers even if they had not a black skin but they are the original and first inhabitants of maghreb .

So its funny when i read that north africans are not africans

My goodness! Early N Africa and ME from the Fertile Crescent ,the Saudi peninsula down to Yemen WERE AS BLACK AS THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS!! I knew some modern Egyptians claim to be the Original People, but you mean all Arabs do the same??
