I was in Nairobi a few days ago for my premiere and I spent a few hours with @wmnjoya at the Sarit Centre rooftop area.
You could barely move because of how many people there were. People were out with their families spending money and enjoying a day out. Literally hundreds of people. By the way, Kenya is not by any means a successful economy, but the visible symbols of commercial activity in Nairobi are undeniably busy. Commerce is actually taking place there.
And then there is Nigeria. Every single time I meet someone who just came from there, I hear the same thing - all the shops and malls are empty. People go into malls to buy one item and take pictures, because the mere experience of going to the mall has become out of reach for most regular people. You have no idea how much this pisses me off!
I've been warning for years that Nigeria is being deliberately steered into complete irrelevance. Uber makes more money in Nairobi than Lagos - and Lagos has 4 times Nairobi's population! Africa's largest population centre is increasingly being treated as if it has no more economic importance than Lesotho or Eswantini!
I fucking hate this shit!
If I wanted to maintain my current standard of living, but in Nigeria, it would cost too much to be realistic.
Nigerian prices are way too expensive in USD terms despite having such a devalued currency, and I don't understand how everyone is quiet.
That country is stupidly expensive for no reason at all🤷🏾
