That's bad. Another thing I don't understand is how maize has become a political issue in Kenya. I heard some of the big men create artificial scarcity of the stuff so they can import from Tanzania and Uganda while Kenyan farmers are left holding the sack.

Dude,

What is your take on this issue of xenophobia in Kenya.Currently, your MP from Starehe constituency have issued 24 hours for businesspeople mainly Tanzanians,Pakistanis,Rwandese,Ugandans etc to leave immediately.

yes ooh, it's a scandalous situation we find ourselves in year in year out, you see maize is the staple food in Kenya, that means virtually all Kenyans consume ugali, so this greedy politicians make the cost of growing maize in Kenya very expensive through taxation then conspire with other shady people in and out of govt to import cheap maize often tax free, making the locally grown maize very expensive, this criminal act is driving many maize farmers out of the business.

He once did. Actually, Algeria looks nicer than the country with the biggest GDP in Africa!

And Tanzania looks better and cleaner than Kenya.

You would better need that. Statement was stupid.

Mine is very well. Quote your statement and justify it instead of doing personal attack.

East Asia which was epicenter of global growth in past decades and South & Southeast Asia who are becoming now have very low population growth rates. Africa has higher population growth rate (even large part of its GDP growth rate comes from population growth rate) while Asia has stagnant and even declining population even with poorest Asian countries outside greater middle east.

Market demand increases when living rise, market doesn't only lie inside country but exported too. Prosperity comes from stability, then free market, then diversification and most important factor is demography.

Both declining and rising population are a threat to future of any country.

I think I had asked you to study DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION MODEL. BUT YOU DIDN'T AND CALLING ME MAD??

Let me give you a clue, suppose two countries with same and stable population (say A & B).
Both have stable populations.
A: Low population growth rate
Low and same death rate (may be developed country)
B: High population growth rate
High and same death rate (may be a least developed country)

Once you start infesting facilities (say healthcare), population will jump suddenly in B as death rate falls. Population growth graph will form a paraboliv curve. Population will grow, stablise with awareness and will decline with falling fertility.


The median age of population determines how much skilled than can be, how much they can earn, how much they can consume and how much they can produce.

Read on internet yourself. And my humble advice to you, say what you KNOW about anything and not what you BELIEVE about anything. Making up things will only bring embarrassment to you.

You are engaging me in argument with me in anger because I conducted a personal attack on you. But your argument was still foolish. You are defending undefendable and wrong by default.

Population growth doesn't increase market size in general. Increased circulation of money in country's economic system does because it increases purchasing power of people. This is called free market.

India has one of fastest growing markets since 1991. Africans moreover should be last people on planet to call Indians poor. We are poor as compared to countries we want to compete with, not against you.

Poverty? We have different standards and we have finished those.
We will apply new ones from 2021 on.
https://worldpoverty.io/index.html

India invested very much needed with all its funds wherever it should and could. And that's why economy boomed since 90s.

How many times are you going to insult yourself?

China curbed its population growth forcefully while Japan and Asian tigers ran awareness programs. All their populations are declining today. Seriously, what you are smoking?

Underfunded? India has annual budget of $750 billions!! It will even cross $2 trillions by 2030 if keeps on growing as planned.
Poor performance? India was biggest gainer in HDI in this decade.

Market is never formed unless people have purchasing power. They won't have until they earn high and they won't til their skill is high. What do you expect from countries where median age is 17-18 years? You think they will grow?

Asians started from tapping western markets. We all from Indians to Japanese, still rely on western markets for most of exports.

You said exactly what I said just minus population growth from it. High population growth demands money for development of more people and consumption of more resources.

Saturation doesn't cover entire population but the population which can afford it. It explains why Apple jumped from USA to China and now India without tapping all phone users. It will find even a smaller market in India.

Simply, it was an argument for bigger & better. For a smaller country, size of population and city will be small so will be bigger for a big country.

The thing that makes difference how they succeed is their income per person. Hence, population different between nations ultimately losses its relevance. It's internal matter of a country.

Total size only defines power as US is far far more powerful than other developed countries but its no way worlds most developed country or fastest growing developed one.

Most certainly. People just don't wake up and run towards cities.

My input makes very much sense here. You quoted it just because YOU HAD TO REPLY ME.
Read that part again.

India's PPP GDP per capita is nearly double of Africa and makes very much difference as seen on ground.

India's nominal GDP per capita was deliberately held by government by manipulating currency to keep Indian exports competent. We keep on buying $, selling ₹ to maintain a huge forex reserve. US had put us on currency watch list multiple times.
India's real nominal GDP per capita will be around $4,000 and total nominal GDP nearly double of Africa for same population if India's sets ₹ free. But it will create an economic crisis.

We have doubled our GDP in ₹ between 2011 & 19 while in dollars, we grew only some 60%.

China was a net exporter so chose to appreciate its currency and added a trillion dollar every year since 2006 (when it was $3 trillions economy). Most of by currency appreciation and inflation than real GDP growth.

Mr.Mukulumuke You really need to stop making a monkey of yourself. You are desperate.
Let me break it down to you like the idiot kid you are:
Brazil : Brazil doesn't export rice anymore, except for a few metric tonnes.You really need to prove to us that Benin buys rice from Brazil.

Pakistan This is funny. Pakistan sells mainly basmati rice. The few metric tonnes of non- basmati rice it sells go to East Africa, particularly Kenya.

Indonesia How can you be this stupid?!! Indonesia is a major importer of rice.

United States I have this for you from an American agricultural website:

You should have refrained from tackling this. It's above your paygrade. But you can keep it coming. I am sure you will always have kikuyu1 to continue slavishly sucking your bum.

Kwani tumekosa wachezaji?’ – Magufuli in furious tirade after Tanzania’s AFCON loss

Tanzania President John Magufuli on Monday, June 24 was an angry man after Tanzania’s loss to Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Lions of Teranga began their AFCON campaign by beating the East Africans 2-0, courtesy of goals from Keita Balde and Krepin Diatta.

In a match that was clearly dominated by Aliou Cisse’s men, Tanzania, throughout the full 90 minutes, only managed three shots at goal, with none of them landing on the target. Senegal boasted more than 65 per cent ball possession and averaged twice the number of passes completed by Tanzania.

Most fouls were committed by Emmanuel Amuneke’s men, leaving the West African’s at liberty of initiating attacks towards the Tanzanian goalkeeper.

In a video extensively shared on social media and captured by Game Yetu, Magufuli laments how Tanzania is incapable of producing ‘class’ players to compete with other big football nations, with a population of more than ‘55 million people’.

“Nchi kama Tanzania yenye idadi ya watu milioni 55, inakwenda kufungwa na timu yenye idadi ya watu milioni mbili? Kwasababu ni lazima mujiulize, Katika milioni 55 tumekosa wachezaji 11, wakuweza kuliwakilisha hili taifa katika mchezo huu muhimu unaopendwa duniani,”

In translation, Magufuli seems to be asking why a team like Tanzania, which hails from a nation of 55 million people can be beaten in a football match by a team whose home population is ‘two million’. He also questions the availability of good players in the squad.

Though he might not have got the populations quite right, Magufuli’s pain at seeing his team lose to Senegal is understood, considering the amount of work they put in to qualify for the tournament.

The loss left Tanzania at the bottom of group C, tied on zero points with Harambee Stars who saw their return to the continental showpiece after 15 years begin with a humiliating 2-0 defeat at the hands of Algeria.

Kenya will now face Tanzania in a crunch match on Thursday, June 27 at the 30 June Stadium in Cairo, Egypt.

Mkenya2019:
Okay - let say Benin import exclusively from Thailand & India - I have seen in 2016 - they imported 800M dollars worth of rice - 2.2M

Mkenya2019:

- in 2017 - they did 2.5-2/8M worth nearly 1B dollars - now I don't know what they did last year - trend is UP UP. Maybe they have already reached 3M metric tonnes. Cameroun are probably doing 1M tonnes.

Mkenya2019:

We can, therefore, say - rice smuggled to Nigeria is whopping around 3-4M metric tonnes.

Also Nigeria themselves still some imported rice.

Mkenya2019:

So basically you vaunted rice production only exists in BOOKS. It never happened. What happened is you stopped importing - and Benin & Camereoun started importing and re-exporting to Nigeria.[/b]

Mkenya2019:

The same is replicated in many other sectors - where Nigeria Stats cOkay figures to claim production - while smuggling is really the man economic activity

Amongst the main importers were Cuba, Senegal and Benin. Up to the end of the year a total of 400,000 tons should be exported, according to forecasts by the institution.

Indian women have 21 thousand tonnes of gold valued at 1,135 billion dollars .

That is, 11 percent of the total gold in the world. So much gold is not even in the top five countries of the world (8 thousand tonnes), Germany (3,300 tonnes), Italy (2,450 tonnes), France (2,400 tonnes) and Russia (1900 tonnes) of total foreign reserves.

This doesn't take into account the other private gold holdings sources neither the gold holdings of the government.

And funny thing is that is official estimate , as far as I am concerned unofficial estimate will be almost double. Almost nobody declares their entire gold , silver and precious stones holdings if at all to tax authorities.

Fuccking Brits etc stole estimated 45 trillion dollars ( current value ) from India.

What goes around comes around and so ........ time will extract it's toll
