Dude, stfu! You said no other black country is better than Naija in all ramifications. The typical Nigerian arrogance seems to have gotten the better of you.

Nowenuse:


Seems like you are insane. You don't just take people's comments and interpret the way you like from your confined mind.
What I meant was that no other African country was better than Nigeria in every sphere. Some are better than us in some spheres while we are better than them and others likewise in some other aspects.

Stfu and move on, the elections are over. Your man won. Get a purpose in life.

TayserMahiri:


Whats the irony? Not voting and asking people to keep political opinions to themselves is quite in resonance. And I dont see why the two men cannot be placed in the same box. There is more in common between them than there is between you and any of them.

Trying to reason with guys like some of the Kenyans here is like talking to goats and mules.

Expanding and deepening financial markets across Africa is a central condition for the next stage of the continent’s development.

That is a key conclusion of the Africa Financial Markets Index launched Wednesday by think tank Official Monetary and Financial Institute Forum (OMFIF) and sponsored by Barclays Africa Group Limited (BAGL).

Africa’s large and dynamic markets present above-average opportunities for growth, yet investment prospects – for both international and local investors – are hampered by underdeveloped financial markets and unclear legal and regulatory frameworks.


The Index ranks the maturity, openness, and accessibility of 17 financial markets in Africa, based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria.

Development of local investor capacity and ability to attract foreign capital are key points of focus.

Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), said: “Through expert analysis of the African financial markets, the Africa Financial Markets Index draws global attention to the considerable investment opportunities and uncovers the untapped market potential.”

The Index focuses on six fundamental pillars for financial market performance: Market depth, Access to foreign exchange, Market transparency and regulation, Capacity of local investors, Macroeconomic opportunity and Enforceability of international financial agreements.

The 17 markets surveyed are, Botswana, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Seychelles, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.

The Index intends to track progress annually, supplying a toolkit for countries wishing to build financial infrastructure.

African countries are implementing a growing number of national policy frameworks for market development.

One of the greatest constraints on growth-enhancing investment is the low capacity of local investors, partly linked to limitations on the range of assets for local investors.

Given its size and historical position, South Africa tops the 2017 list, despite poor recent macroeconomic performance, based on the strength of its financial markets as well as its relative openness and transparency for transactions. Others are closing the gap.

Mauritius and Botswana have strengths in tax and regulation and access to foreign exchange.

Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana provide signs of progress as Nigeria ranks sixth. Ivory Coast, with a low overall score, is home to a growing regional bourse, pointing to future improvement.

Ethiopia shows the highest GDP growth prospects of the 17 countries – even though it comes bottom of the list in terms of financial market prowess.

“The Index provides countries with valuable insights and tools to improve the state of their financial markets,” says Maria Ramos, Chief Executive, BAGL.

“By broadening and deepening their understanding of the requirements of local and international investors, Africa’s leaders can develop robust markets – a prime condition for sustainable, inclusive growth.”

David Marsh, Managing Director of OMFIF, said: “Liquidity, regulation, foreign exchange restrictions, and policy choices are among the chief concerns for investors considering their African engagement.”

“Our survey highlights the areas where specific countries need to make genuine advances to forge strong positions in the competition for sustainable investment.”

In addition to statistical analysis, OMFIF gained additional insights by surveying 60 top executives from financial institutions operating across the 17 countries, including banks, investors, securities exchanges, regulators, audit and accounting firms, and international financial and development institutions.

No.Just.No. Here's the problem. You presume to advise me on politics due to MY TRIBALISM. I've admitted many times I HAVE ZERO RESPECT FOR OJINGAISM for many many reasons I can't repeat. Like most Ojingaists you somehow imagine your choice is morally superior to mine so you always assume a preacher's tone,ati "true kenyaism"!? Dah fuq,my dude-but then intelligent Kenyans have known the Lord of Flies has a real hold over you people thanks to either brainwashing,voodoo or both.
Tell YOURSELF what you feel like-but don't lecture me,for real!

Before I check whether our pristine beaches have a soccer national team, stand up for the Champs

Kenya Crowned Cecafa Champions for 2017. To be fair, we ensured Libya did not get a chance to win it! Tho you guys refused to ask for an apology.

The bolded my fren..the bolded..thats what’s pisses me off. Respect is a virtue…an this makes you sound petty.

IEBC chairman nominee Wafula Chebukati’s association with ODM came back to haunt him yesterday as he faced tough questions from a parliamentary panel.

Chebukati ran for Saboti MP on the ODM ticket in the December 27, 2007, general election, but lost to Eugene Wamalwa of PNU.

He was hard-pressed to convince the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee, chaired by Ainabkoi MP Samuel Chepkong’a, that his links with opposition chief Raila Odinga’s party will not influence his duties.

Chebukati told the committee he resigned as an ODM life member a month before he applied for the job. He said he had been a dormant member.

TayserMahiri:


Lol. No actually, Wanyama who is our main engine wasnt even there. We did it with the smaller boys. As for WAFU, you guys can be quite suggestive with your names. That name means "The Dead" in Swahili

How those kits stolen by our team?

Dude, you need a better camera. The last three pictures look like the opening credits of Narcos when Escobar was still alive!!

What don't you understand?! The Lord of Flies is a swindler and mass murderer whose never ending tricks succeed thanks only to his low IQ fanbase and judicial infiltration. May last year he initiated civic disturbance to get rid of ex IEBC head Hassan for 'stealing' his 2013 victory and installed fellow ODM member Chebukati.


Upon losing due to the same 'tyranny of numbers,' as in 07,13 he denies the obvious and gets a reprieve WHICH HE THEN BOYCOTTS and refuses to accept results AND THEN CALLS FOR SECESSION AND PROMISES TO SWEARS TO HIMSELF IN AS FAKE PREZ!!? As all this happens his moronic followers scream with joy. Months are wasted useless politicking,the economy slows down and you don't see why we've no time for this nigga?!
FCVK YOU AND ALL YOUR STUMBLING OJINGAISTS!

Why can’t they have something like this in Naija for Pete’s sake… no pun intended

Danielnino00:



CECAFA cup? . A tournament, just like the COSAFA cup organized by the smaller African football regions to compensate themselves for their mediocrity in the big stage
They even invited countries from other regions just to ensure the tournament wasn't boring


Ahh well,congrats anyway but I hope those your kits weren't "stolen" again?

obaaderemi:
You know you are crazy.But since when did pictures of embassies become symbols of development? Anyway unlike what your aunty posted, American embassy in Ethiopia is actually the biggest u.s embassy in Africa. And I think the American embassy, Abuja below is actually more beautiful than the one in Kenya. Anyway, it's nothing since the Americans built the embassies.

mtis:


It’s your English Nowe. Actually you meant that no other freaking African country can measure to you guys. English my friend..English
