Between Nairobi and Lagos which capital is a slum

I will answer for you.; Lagos.
Now now, I know the guy was talking out of pain but do you think Lagos will take 50year to catch up with Khayelitsha? .
Am asking this because Lagos is aiming at Nairobi beauty ...

Awwwwwn weak trolling game...I am not even trolling but being fair and factual...

My post answers the bolded..

Lagos doesn't generate more taxes than Kenya. Nigeria as whole do not generate more taxes than kenya.

Federal Nigeria including all oil taxes - struggle to generate 14B dollars. That is like Ghana.

Of all the 36 states of Nigeria - Lagos generate 1-1.3B dollars. The rest generate very little in own resources.

Do the maths -

Now move over to kenya. KRA generates 16-17b dollars as ordinary revenues - and 4B more as A-I-D - total 20B dollars.

Counties are not allowed to levy taxes - generate 1B - in total - from user fees and license.

Now do the maths.

and the funny thing is that , Lagos is in the league of countries "state" with no natural resources just like Kenya and Lagos generates its revenue from mostly taxes

Shma:
In reality though, Lagos and Nairobi has potential to outsmart big cities in South Africa.
If Lagos just took one concideration of impelmenting zoning laws and eradicate slums it will be a great city in Africa.
Nairobi should fix its roads and upgrade or eradicate the 2% slums.

Nairobi is already the 6th most dynamic city in the world, we are the capital for multinational organizations e. t. c.

We only have very little to do unlike lagos.
But the best move for Lagos is the initiative for building different city with the same effort will definitely work.
@forgiveness, I need your attention here.

Did you know you did what you do best...you just re-echoed rvp's noise 100% ..like 100%...from start to bottom is so rvp....
What a fool that cannot function on his own brain power....you even re-echoing noise without knowing if it's true..

Lagos GDP is bigger than anything in Kenya..that is the main point, the rest is noisy drivel..

Simple psychology.

If you see a guy insinuating something over and over again, it shows the character is a good model on the subject matter. you have been crying over and over that am re-echoing what rvp is saying and yet you're the master in fabricating. what a low life.
Anyway, that was not your topic cos you can't stand it. that's why I called out forgiveness.
I will only be engaging you in issues like slums, ugliness, bi*chness, tomboicness, measure of downloaded jargons and noise Making.

Lagos generates 1B dollar in revenues and Kenya generates 21B dollars. That is money in the account that is used to pay salaries, build roads and etc.

Let us know where Lagos GDP is banked. Which account has that 100B dollar annually? Heck would be nice to have 140B dollars somewhere in some bank account. Nigeria won't be a zoo.

You can estimate your GDP to be ANYTHING YOU WANT. But the money in Lagos state coffers cannot even pay salaries.

I know.
I have noted him since the day I introduced hodgepodge. , the guy has been using that word since time immemorial.
I have also noted the bombshell of words he fabricated from you and a number of kenyans, he's actually learning anyway.

More pics of ilubirin, completion date for 2022

The land was first reclaimed,approximately 15.1 hectares (Larger than Nairobi CBD) ;DLaThe project site area is approximately 15.1 hectares. Ilubirin aims to combine the benefits of affordable housing with mid-market luxury

of course you dont calculate it, you are bad at math just like the person who is intentionally doing it to present fake data.

IMF and WB dont do calculation, they rely on your Finance Ministry data that is gotten from the statistictical office



No one is spending money on Kenya's manufacturing sector.
Neither are investors investing in Agricultural production, hence why you import everything into your country.
The little investment that Kenya receives goes into investment properties that does not create sustainable jobs.

Hence the high unemployment.

rvp2018:
1) I don't work for Kenya Gov - and I don't calculate it. IMF are doing projections and calculations together with WB using the same figures.
2) We don't have a problem with investment - Ghana is attracting mining dollars - we are attracting broad-based investment.
3) PPP is useful for internal stuff - like calculating poverty. No sane investor will come to a country whose currency is as useless as CEDIS. Unless they are coming for GOLD - or OIL - which is not sold in the country or in CEDIS anyway.

This back and forth argument is not really what I am looking for right now...I just say the fact and watch you weep.
IMF/WB says Lagos GDP is $136bn...you can go argue with your keypad or have Kenya as a nation compete and surpass Lagos as a city...it's that simple in succinct terms.

Well, I don't blame him. Kenya's high-quality education shines always. This guy is doing what we did in primary school - learning to write an essay.

This is just phase 1 ooo..phase is more larger...
It will also be a tourist hotspot and trigger a new CBD ....things like this what the govt which to replicate in Lagos island .

GDP is an estimate. A guesstimate. A figure you can just cook.

What matters I keep telling you is the money in your country coffers. In your country VAULT. This is revenues - both ordinary (taxes) and other revenues.

If we agree that Lagos GDP is 140B - and we know it collect about 1.3B dollars...then we are saying Lagos is able to collect just 1% of it's GDP.

Now you're a south African? Defend your poor poverty capital.

Kenya is doing wonderful - we lifted nearly 1/4 of our population out of poverty last decade.

https://www.nation.co.ke/kenya/business/wb-says-10m-out-of-poverty-in-the-past-one-decade-in-a-decade-96030
Kenya lifted 9.82 million people out of poverty between 2005 and 2016, even as millions more languished in abject want, a new report by the World Bank shows.

The bulk of the people who recorded an upward change in fortunes during the decade was a result of an improved economy which grew at an average of 5.3 per cent, significantly above the 4.9 per cent average for sub-Saharan Africa.

“The share of the population living below the national poverty line fell from 46.8 per cent in 2005/06 to 36.1 per cent in 2015/16, reflecting a modest but sustained improvement in living standards over the decade,” says the Kenya Gender and Poverty Assessment 2015/16 report by the Bretton Woods firm.

“However, Kenya’s poverty rate is roughly twice the average for lower-middle-income countries worldwide.”

The poverty line denotes those living on less than $1.90 or (Sh191.88) per day.

you lifted 1/4 of your population out of poverty by putting them back in slums right, U must be stupid my guy? and how comes 94% of them still cant own their own houses and urbanization in Kenya still very low ?, u can only deceive ur selves and not we West Africans

Like I told you I am not here for this back and forth argument..we've done this numerous times.. anytime we remind you of Lagos GDP which makes the effort of your country despite her cooking to looks like a child play you resort to noise and tantrums....Nigeria and lagos is larger an informal economy and lagos taxes Majorly the formal sector..so it is save to say Lagos GDP should even be about $200bn since the informal sector is larger than the formal sector...

Take your noise and go cry somewhere else...Lagos GDP is lager than any thing in Kenya..we have IMF/WB report as evidence for that..

Kenya is developing it's rural areas. Big difference with Nigerian villages. Majority of kenya rural areas have as good amenities as urban areas. You'll find electricity in nearly all kenya villages, piped water, and name it.

I was watching Mambila tea estate - and market center is shocking - the poverty in rural Nigeria is shocking.

In kenya - small rural centers have street lights.

You're describing poverty that make it impossible to have 140b dollar gdp. 1% tax to gdp. Nigeria as country is doing 5%. You have overstated or overestimated your GDP. Actually overcooked it.

no rural area in Kenya is developing

hence why most rural areas dont have roads in Kenya.
