tylann:You're at it again This same city in some minutes hosted over 58 countries of the world,for Africa's biggest city marathon and one of the worlds biggest An Ethiopian won,followed by your brother. Its like as if your brothers came en mass for the event. Lagos host several African Festivals and awards in spprts,fashion and entertainment, lifestyle, Tourism etc I know you have to hate Lagos for Nairobi,you are defending your country and well done. Kenyans were just so excited, I beat my chest to tell you that its only you e - wars rant about Nairobi being better than Lagos. I guess you should come for the marathon next year,Marathon race is exclusively for East Africans, we have surrendered it for you guyz Those Kenyans can tell what they saw from the mainland of surulere city to the prestigious EAC for the finish. Experience Lagos in HD...... |

tylann:Quality of life can be Great when there is infrastructure. In Lagos,deaths and accidents fade away because The government has invested in emergency and disaster management Ensured that every major cities in Lagos has pedestrian bridges. Increased no of road signs,every road in Lagos surely have road signs. Invested heavily in health care system by upgrading all general hospitals and healthcare systems to world class. Electrity, we aren't having adequate power but we know that there us a power project ongoing Transport projects scattered across are to improve the welfare of its commuters,like wise the introduction of new buses and ensuring WiFi in public places and bus stops. Ibrahimanis posted pics of the progress of the Lagos light rail. The government has created a satellite town in Epe,about 1,000 hectares. Lagos next governor plans to build more world class school and re modernize the existing ones I can almost say that the government has done too much in investing in human capital. There are low cost housing Estates on the mainland for low income earners Nigeria has huge challenges but Lagos is lifting the burden for Lagosians. We are not even contempted with Lagos because we want the whole Lagos mainland to be like or even better than the island |

ednited:If we are going to tell ourselves THE TRUTH .... Africans generally aren't smart at all and no truckload of excuses will ever change that.IQ tests are computerised so the excuse that the tests are genetically and racially biased fly out the window immediately,how does a computer detect who's African and who's not? besides,do we really need an IQ test for proving that Africa is inhabited by mentally slow beings who are subjected to eternal damnation?,there is so much hunger in Africa yet the continent itself is naturally blessed with fertile soil and endless natural resources that God has given us.What good use have we put all these diamonds,gold and platinum to? zero...and them come the most pathetic excuse of them all "the reason Africa is behind the rest of the world is because white Europeans stole our ideas and intelligence",like really? intelligence is now a tangible thing that can be snatched? Africa has a bad record of IQ test because Africans are ignorant,infatuated with stone age life and the lack of abstract thinking that is very vital when it comes to innovative ideas.We are incapable of thinking out the box and that is why in millions of years of our existence we haven't invented anything that helps in the advancement of humanity. |

An average Kenyan primary school kid knows what a tribe is and what an ethnic group is! tylann: |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rvp20182: 11:44am On Feb 02, 2019 |
JaceBlaze:At some point you lost me.Yes African have low IQ but it's not permanent.its temporal.There is enough evidence that as country grows richer it's IQ also improves.More than 1/3 of Africans are physical and mentally stunted because of malnourition.Improving nutrition alone will over time see IQ improve by a third.Obviously the critical period is when the kids are under 5 when most of growth including brain development happens.30% growth of IQ would imply IQ around 100 which is pretty good as anywhere else.Everyone probably know kids are getting smarter.All that due to better nutrition and environment for brain activity at crucial age.There is also huge negative effect from viral diseases on brain development.Anyway for now let's stop under 5 mortality.Those countries that have done that like Kenya and Ghana..plus of course southern Africa countries can focus on better nutrition and disease control. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Jonraid:Of course a tribe is subject when compared to an ethnic group which is more diverse. How many tribes do you have before we talk of etnuc groups. The Yoruba tribe alone has many languages, which still means ethnicity The IBOs and Hausa etc have various languages I will put the figures when I get them I mean for us having over 300 tribes,we are most likely to have larger ethnic groups |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rvp20182: 12:14pm On Feb 02, 2019 |
samsobo24:Strictly speaking there is no difference btw Kenya and Nigeria.Niger-congo dominate with significant afro-asiatic and nilo-saharans.Nigeria is definitely the cradle of niger-congo so is the diversity of that ethnic group.Sudan possibly for NiloSaharan.Afroasiatic has to be either Egypt or Ethiopia or Sudan or Libya. |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by samsobo24(m): 12:27pm On Feb 02, 2019 |
rvp20182: I think the issue of Ethnicity is very broad and complicated. For instance Yoruba in Nigeria is spoken in some parts of Brazil,Cuba,Jamaica etc its something very deep |

who knows a thing or two about trains ?? do those really fast trains require a different type of track or will this type be good enough ??
|
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rvp20182: 12:46pm On Feb 02, 2019 |
PROVERBZ:Fast train requires sgr that is continuously welded and with curved corners and probably with dedicated lines or some automatic signalling to avoid collision.The rest is the rolling stock..the capability of the train itself. |

Quite possible but not wholly possible? Fair enough As they say-Necessity is the mother of invention. The Bantu who lived in the African Savannah was quite comfortable with life,this is to say that he didn't need much innovations to better aspects of his/her life.Food was plentiful in the Savannah-he didn't think much about inventions such as irrigation to add more food stock.The weather was quite favorable-the need to build strong weather proof houses wasn't a concern,there was no snow or desert storms.There was no need for hot showers,no heating technology was needed .It is this kind of life that made us not think 'outside the box' The environment made us who we are.We were also socialists in nature and religious.When Europeans separated the church from the statehood,they greatly made gains in science and tech.Read about the renaissance.In Europe we had the royal families and the noble men,educated men and the common men.This structure made them more capitalistic that they even thought of conquering distant lands to add more into their wants. Africans couldn't come up with world changing ideas because of our diversity.We are so diverse.Our continent was so large.How could we communicate to even effectively share ideas in this large continent or even move about.In Africa,you'll have a small country like Kenya with 42 tribes,in UK you'll have the English,Scottish,the Irish and who else? It is more like the tower of Babel,everyone speaks differently so that renders communication impossible! THE SHEER SIZE OF THE CONTINENT AND OUR DIVERSITY ARE ONE OF THE MAJOR FACTORS THAT MADE US LESS DEVELOPED IN TECHNOLOGY THAN EUROPEANS. We only have Eight major linguistic groups in Europe,large tribes enjoy large advantages.A piece of information that landed in Greece,would quickly reach the English group.You couldn't have this happening in Africa! Because this good innovation would have to bypass several languages and massive distances. There are so many factors that make us have this 'low IQ' that everyone is talking about.However, you might say that you are more 'intelligent' than a bushman or a Khoisan but you probably won't survive if you were dropped inside the Kalahari or the Amazon simply because you aren't intelligent enough to survive in such an environment! You might have to rethink what intelligence really means and how to measure it effectively! Justnotyou: |

rvp20182:thanks OK we are not getting electric trains anytime soon new tracks have to be laid for that abi?? what kind does Kenya have and is it the same with gau trains in south Africa rank them for me gau train better than Senegal's electric trains or the other way around |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Jonraid(m): 1:06pm On Feb 02, 2019 |
This might actually support quite a fast moving train,the purpose of the bridges and embankments is mostly in cutting the gradient.With a raised and flat platform with less curves,the train wouldn't need 'to climb' when the topography of a place is hilly.The functions of the rail too will weigh on,a passenger dedicated rail would be fast,a cargo dedicated rail wouldn't be so fast.For a rail dedicated for both passenger and cargo,many factors would have to be considered as the number of trips,signaling stations,distance of the railway and the rolling stock specifications among many other factors will weigh on the speeds!
