- Welcome back to BantuCityDiaries. This channel compares the various African cities to Lagos and Abuja. We would not euphemise our language to entertain your feelings as long as we stayed honest with the truth. If Lagos is A, we would say it. If Nairobi is B, we would do the same without caring whose feelings were hurt.
The truth is primary to us, and your feelings are secondary. We have compared both cities physically, and our report has arrived.

Am starting to appreciate Kenya nowadays 😂😂
Not with this government
Hawajui hii ni deni 😅😅
@@briandol7474-Even the US has a 14T dollar debt 😂😂
Wow Its like what we take for granted in Kenya is a blessing to others
Kenyan in the house, I just subscribed
Nigerians in here are mad ..they cant stand truth being told
Nigeria's many problems revolve around 3 issues... Widespread corruption, huge population & poor leadership.
Only God can help Naija.
How is a huge population an "issue'? Responsible countries understand the value of a huge population and use it to their advantage.
As a Kenyan I even feel we don't follow traffic rules 😅
Say you don’t . Wewe na nani?
You mean you don't follow them! Do not speak for the rest of us
Years ago, when there was a lot of road construction everywhere (around 2007), I was in Kenya (I'm Kenyan), and I came to realise just how polite Kenyan drivers really are.
I was being driven by an Irish guy who was so chaotic. Trying to use newly carpeted roads that were not open yet, and even trying to compete with makangas in tao 🤦🏿♀️😅
Meanwhile, Kenyans patiently endured the inconveniences.
I've also noticed/agree that Kenyans are not quick to hoot even when other drivers are clearly doing annoying things. I'm the one in the passenger seat getting agitated 😂
So yeah. Kenyan drivers are so chill compared 😅
Ooh ok, soon I should love my country more
Nairobi wins again Lagos or Abuja. Lagos is huge than Nairobi but Nairobi is cleaner than Lagos and it looks modern with CBD while Lagos is outdated and generally messy due to vendors occupying most of the streets in the city. Nothing special there to catch our attention.
@@AfricasRealitiesFor your info we have several towns in Kenya which are more developed than those state headquarters in Nigeria. Nigeria can be huge in terms of GDP but when's it comes to urban planning and development, It lugs behind and no where to be seen.
@@AfricasRealities. Huge population should not be an excuse for mediocrity. For more information, check out the following towns: kakamega, thika, kericho, nyeri, kilifi, malindi, kisii, meru and kitale. Maybe you will delete the comment above; if your ego allows😅
@@AfricasRealities The Nairobi metropolitan area has over 10 million. That's not a small city either. Nairobi is more organized & sophisticated than west African cities. And it only gets better as it grows bigger
@@Danorous😂😂 Abuja is nowhere comparable to Nairobi. Westlands alone beats Abuja ten nil. Nairobi is the closest city comparable to Johannesburg in Africa. The Malls in Nairobi are better, it has 3 airports, very modern railway stations & Some of the tallest buildings in Africa.
@@Danorous She also prefers Mombasa to Nairobi in Kenya. Abuja is more relaxed generally than most African cities. But when it comes to infrastructure Nairobi is on another level. The Nigerian girl Ebaide also confirmed
I appreciate my city Nairobi ♥️
Lagos is my favorite
Best in Africa
You know what'sup
The problem is that Nigeria still struggles to organize its affairs. Any countries that’s intentional to be developed and puts even meagre effort into it, would easily surpass Nigeria.
It’s not that Nigerians can’t be civilized; the problem is that we are not used to it. And this is due to the political history in our country. Essentially, the Nigerian leadership has never bothered to provide much intentional leadership and direction over the years since independence.
Be that as it may, Nigerians have far more potentials than Kenya. Lagosians are very entrepreneurial and energetic, and this reflects in the fact that they’re significantly richer than Kenyans on an individual basis. This energic and entrepreneurial tendencies also reflects when Nigerians are in the diaspora.
@charlesugochukwu9283
Seriously, I take off my hat for you. I agree with everything you wrote there. Your intelligence, candour, decorum, and fact-based submission totally humoured me.
Thank you!
lol this sounds like a propaganda sponsor video 😂😂😂
This is not a propaganda sponsored video
Lagos for me...better.... Abuja, even better....You should have compared two capital cities. So obvious that this video was just to bash Lagos. Its never even right to compare African cities. Its better to point out the uniqueness in each city and the great qualities...that will bring more views.
@@AfricasRealities Just because you bought your drivers license doesn't mean we all do.... Speak for yourself only....
@@AfricasRealities Your blanket statements about Nigerians are extremely ignorant and prejudiced. It is wildly inaccurate to claim that all Nigerians obtain their driver's licenses improperly or flout traffic laws. There are millions of law-abiding citizens in Nigeria who follow proper procedures and driving regulations.
Your assumption that no government agency administers legitimate driving tests is patently false. While there are certainly issues with corruption that need to be addressed, the Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) under the Federal Road Safety Corps absolutely does conduct driving tests and issues licenses to qualified applicants who demonstrate competency.
Furthermore, your claim that "people don't keep to their lane in Nigeria" is an outrageous generalization. Yes, there are violations by some drivers, as there are in every country. However, many Nigerian drivers do obey traffic laws and drive responsibly, maintaining their lanes and following proper rules of the road.
The systemic problems you cite, such as police misconduct, are real challenges that responsible Nigerians are working to overcome through accountability and reform efforts. But to disparage all Nigerians as lawbreakers is both inaccurate and counterproductive.
It is people like you, making sweeping negative judgments, who perpetuate a cycle of disillusionment and cynicism that holds Nigeria back from progress. The majority of Nigerians are upstanding citizens striving to improve their nation through ethical, legal means.
Instead of stubbornly confirming your prejudiced views by accusing those who disagree of "living in denial," I advise you to open your eyes to the reality. Educate yourself on the many honest Nigerians in all walks of life who embody integrity and diligently follow the law, despite operating in a flawed system.
It is arrogant and misinformed people like yourself, applying broad negative stereotypes, who are part of the problem in Nigeria - not the law-abiding majority you wrongly defame. If you want Nigeria to improve, start by rejecting your own biases and cynicism. Support and amplify the ethical citizens working to create positive change through legitimate channels.
@@AfricasRealitiesto be fair driving school is more expensive in Lagos Nigeria.
Driving school is only for people who can afford it.
No bashing here, most cities east and south of the continent look much better than lagos....you just don't know.
@@interestingthingstoknow8975 If you visit East & South African cities you'd realize how overrated cities like Abuja and Lagos are.
You forgot to say population in Lagos is over 22 million while Nairobi is below 5 million, that what you're comparing, compare Nairobi to calaba city in Nigeria
How is calaba? He can show us videos as well you can't fail your city and argue it's because of population that can't an excuse Lagos isn't the only populated city in the world put your house in order guys.
Does calaba have good expressway like Nairobi or even buildings
@@stevestephen2122 yeah, come to calabar the most clean city in Nigeria with good paved roads, high raised building doesn't means beauty
@@laylandstanley4992 The Nairobi Metropolitan area has 10 Million people. Nairobi is not a Small city either.
@@laylandstanley4992 share a link I see and compare with Nairobi
Stop getting mad guys, he is talking about his experience! You are free visit then make your own comparison video!😂😂😂
the capital CITY of Egypt also we need to see
You are right I'm Nigeria
Wewe said Nairobi drainage don't smell,bro they smell a lot
It’s funny how you compare your capital city to a state in Nigeria with a population close to your entire country. Nigerians can’t be mad. As at 2016, Lagos state had a GDP of 145.141 billion dollars while Kenya as a country has a GDP of 113.4 billion dollars in 2022. Lagos is just one state out of 36 states that make up Nigeria. Nigeria isn’t comparable in any way shape or form to you guys but we are not perfect Rome wasn’t built in a day. I welcome your criticism, it’s fun to watch. We are growing and wont stop growing forever.
Your argument is based on emotions..I ain't a Kenyan btw
@@ajnar7317 that’s your rebuttal 😂. Did you even comprehend my position before jumping to your keypad?
Well DAMN, tell me how you really feel about Nigeria. 😂😂😂
He really needs to express his opinions more openly and directly 😅
You guys can only boast of Nairobi but Naija has more than 10 cities to boast.
😂 You only know Nairobi. By the time you get to the coastal City of Mombasa you'd be shitting in your pants 😂. Kenyan cities are far more advanced than the funny townships you call cities in Nigeria
@@nairobinyeusi5811be nice bro...unasema atakuwa na shonde juu ya wivu
Can i remind you it was a Nigerian that made this video, and please, all those cities and still feel threatened by Nairobi, go go giants of populating😂
Stop comparing Lagos to that of Kenya.
bias review, bad content because you only show the good sides of Nairobi. We have areas in Lagos that are better than what you showed us about Nairobi. You only do hatchet job to de-market Lagos by generalizing the negativity observed in some part of the city which is also common in other densely populated African cities,
He has actually shown the city center of Nairobi. If he went to Kilimani, Westlands & Parklands areas you'd think Nairobi is London or New York 😂
This is not to de-market nigeria
Oga, tell yourself the truth. Nigeria is a disorganized mess.
Although we are far wealthier and have more potentials than Kenyans (my opinion) we still struggle in terms of organising our affairs like civilized people.
It’s no surprise other countries will overtake us in terms of organization and development. We Nigerians are not intentional about development. We develop quite alright, but not in an intentional way.
New subscriber👍
Thank you
Truthful facts 😂😢😮😅😊
Pls compare naurobi to s.africa not lagos/abuja
We will look into doing that very shortly. Thanks!
I never went to driving school but I can drive 😂😂😂😂
Sounds like a typical Nigerian. An Uber driver once said the same to me while I was sitting behind him in the passenger seat. I didn't waste time lecturing him on how it's done in civilised nations of the world.
In addition, I said so I'm risking my life ridding in your car? If you had told me this before you picked me up, I would have canceled the ride. Nigerians are absolutely out of tune with the international community when it comes to following international standards..
That is the problem right there. The end result of many people like you is road chaos. Kenya every person behind the wheel passes through driving school. We don't even think twice about it we just know you have to go to school.
Compare Nairobi to Abuja.

😂I think this Bro is trying to dissuade people from coming to Nigeria. He believe he as seen it all.
Even Nigerians in Kenya would advise you to leave 😂
This is not to let people come to nigeria.
You are talking nonsense
Another stupid video. Nairobi has just over 4 million people while Lagos Nigeria has over 20 million. The entire economy of Kenya is smaller than the city of Lagos ALONE!
Kenya GDP = $133.593 billion
Lagos GDP = $102 billion
No Lagos GDP is over to 200 billion, 40% of the Nigerian Economy. The Dangote Refinery Alone is worth 40 billion dollars, only an ignoramus would try to claim the Lagos Economy is 100 billion!!! Which clearly that is what
@@BantuCityDiaries 102 billion estimate comes from 2021, prior to Dangote refinery, and the population census from 17 million to over 22 million people with an average per capita GDP of $7,000. So, you do the math... You get 200 billion dollar GDP!
@@Naija4K Even with Google readily available at your fingertip, you're still throwing numbers to pump up Lagos' figures?
Okay, let's do this; would you please share your source?
