"t[b]he group's operations commenced in Kenya in 1965 with the opening of the first office in Nairobi as a foreign branch of British-American Insurance Company Limited, headquartered in the Bahamas[/b]. A local company was incorporated on 14 November 1979 as British-American Insurance Company (Kenya) Limited under the Companies Act as a private limited liability company following a government directive that all branches of foreign owned insurance companies must be incorporated locally. By this time, the Company had established nine branches across Kenya. This local incorporation represented the first step in the localisation of the Company. In 1984, local Kenyan investors acquired 33.33 percent of the shareholding in line with government directives

You see most Nigerians want to live, work and do business here. So what most Nigerians do is get the tourist VISA that allows you to stay for upto 3 months but then they are not here for tourism. They head over to some cheap Nigerian neighborhood and hide there with fellow Nigerians and refuse to go back home

Of course not all Nigerians do this e.g. Those hired by Andela and some other businesses have genuine long term visas. However majority of Nigerians living here are here have overstayed their 3 month visas and do not want to leave.

Dude Thika is the most industrialized town in Kenya followed by Nairobi.

If you are do industrialized why are you not able to refine crude oil produced in your country yet you are the largest producer of oil in Africa. You people make Africa look bad. Out of the top 10 producers of oil in the world you are the only country that exports their crude then imports refined oil products... Lol. Industrialized my foot.

68816419:


what is the distance between thika and Nairobi, many people usually call thika extension of Nairobi plus how comes their very few industries outside Nairobi or may be thika ?

ArchieTaylor:


Thika is 50km from Nairobi. In Kiambu county. were you not the same person saying Nairobi is small>>

ArchieTaylor:

Britam is 200m tall, the tallest in Eko is around 158m tall if I am not wrong. You count height of a building by metres upwards not floors bruh. And I do not know a lot about Britam but you can see they say localisation

ArchieTaylor:
As for an oil refinery isht I wanted to confirm, have heard a lot of stories about Nigeria not owning a refinery

68816419:


obviously the developed part of NAIROBI is small, but how far is thika to kasarani, i am not talking about distance to CBD ?

68816419:


what is the distance between thika and Nairobi, many people usually call thika extension of Nairobi plus how comes their very few industries outside Nairobi or may be thika, so you think Nigeria don't refine it oil, u must be crazy,plus, the world largest refinery is under construction and will be commission in the year 2019 by dongete ?

WE Talking about real height(floors) not useless extension, how many floors is Britam?

Muafrika2:

I00 km.

Nairobi has been dreaming of absorbing all towns nearing, including Machakos, Mavoko, etc. Won't happen with the system of devolution

solbil:


the agriculture issue, we've dealth with it already and we have put it aside because we have proven our superiority over Kenya in that area.

As for BH, we have defeated them and have relocated back to their homes many of the people that were displaced.

Your cars are known no where else, fact! That if at all it is true. Our cars don't only ply our roads, they also ply the roads of other African countries.

As for being the largest producers of anything, we are the world largest producers of cassava, Yam, millet, etc.

you see why i said " only Nairobi is the pride of Kenyans" and the funny things is that over 70 % of people of Nairobi leaves in slums such as Mathare,Kibera, Huruma..............................."

Dangote invests N80bn in Kenyan cement
sector
ON March 2, 2015 12:05 AM / IN
Business / Comments
By Favour Nnabugwu
Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote
has invested N80billion ($400million) to
set up a cement plant in Kenya through
East Africa Portland Cement Company
(EAPCC). Dangote entered Kitui County’s
limestone mines through the Kenya’s local
cement in order to open $400 million,
representing Sh34.8 billion Kenyan
currency in Kitui County, Kenya.
Dangote Cement which also constructing
major cement plants in Ethiopia, Tanzania,
and Zambia, already has a license to
prospect for limestone in Kitui County
while he revised the upcoming factory’s
annual production capacity to three
million tonnes from the previous 1.5
million tonnes. According to him, “We are
reviewing plans for Kenya with a view to
increasing the scale of our proposed
factory from 1.5 million tonnes per annum
(MTA) to 3MTA”.
Dangote’s upcoming plants in Kenya,
Tanzania, and Ethiopia will give it a total
capacity of 8.5MTA, putting it ahead of
Kenya’s Bamburi and Uganda’s Tororo that
currently have capacities of 3.1MTA each.
“We are confident there will be sufficient
demand both in Kenya and neighbouring
countries”.
Besides being rich in limestone, Kitui is
also attractive due to its proximity to the
Mui basin which has large reserves of coal.
The coal is tipped to replace the relatively
expensive diesel fuel in firing energy-
hungry cement factories. The group plans
to have around 60 million tonnes of
production, grinding and import capacity
in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2016″.

"Britam Tower | Upper Hill | is just 200m | 31 fl | " meaning the rest of the building is just an extended steels .. Eko pearl(Lagos) can also decides to add same extended steel to its build and tag it "Tallest building in Africa"..so what?
