Some fools would still commend this rubbish!

When are we gonna start building factories and industries that manufactures capital goods?

Mkenya2019:
Konza is a technopolis campus - don't expect to see huge skyscrappers there - the plots will not be sold - they will be given free - right now - we are fixing horizontal infrastructure - roads, electricity, sewage , fiber - and then investors will rush in to take advantage of free land - maybe tax holiday - and it will be full before you're out of recession. Oil doesn't seem to be getting out of recession soon.

Mkenya2019:
There is progress but not as fast as we want. I think it was started earlier - with Land acquisition - 5,000 acres - and being 60kms from Nairobi - there is a lot of work that need doing. Admittedly it as slow as your Eko City with has 2 or 3 towers completed in nearly 20 yrs.

Mkenya2019:
Not true. Konza has been allocated funding every year - the office complex for Konza secretariat is complete - the horitzontal infrastructure for Phase 1 is ongoing (awarded to some Italian company). The Korean Institute of Science & Technology deal has been signed and just awaiting financing agreement.

gallivant:
We don't want anything like Eko in Kenya, get your facts right. We also don't want anything like Abuja or Dodoma in Kenya. Konza, Tatu city will be completed before your Eko sand dunes.

gallivant:
Very well, we will continue this discussion in 2026!

gallivant:
Well Mr proforce ARA was on YouTube and he swears it's almost complete. There are just waiting to deploy the cargo ships!

gallivant:
It's almost as complete as the Eko sand dunes.

Which project are you talking of...I hope you are not mistaking Lekki deepseaport with badagry deepseaport..

One thing you should know is that LFTZ is greatly ostracized from the rest part of Lagos.. the distance from VI to LFTZ is quite far..LFTz is a very remote area with gated property so not much lagosians are aware that such place exist plus they have strict drone policy..You can't just walk into the property if you don't work there or you are not an investor let alone going to.places close to the port ..Lekki deapseaport is almost complete..you can watch latest update On YouTube

For the lekki deep seaport the people that are doing it only tweet milestone accomplishment so I only have 1 or 2 images from when the construction started in March 2018 and when the breakwater was completed in September 2018 over than that construction work has been ongoing but silent for most members to the public.

Abohboy:
You can see which countries are going to be leading Africa and I am loving all of this news of new ports and railways Cameroon canceled their port because of lack of funding so now they are looking at Nigeria for the bakasi deep seaport which is very close to Cameroon and when the coastal rail line is complete it will be extended to Benin and Cameroon

Who just may start using our ports and buying our goods because well ours is better same case for Kenya as they as more people will use their ports because it is faster more efficient and much larger creating Kenya a lot of money

I did a bit of research and the Lamu port is much bigger than the lekki and the bakasi deep seaports Lamy will handle 25 million TEUs whilst lekki will handle 10 million TEUs and bakasi will also handle 10 million TEUs

Lamu is a massive project and I am sorry to say kazi it seems extremely feasible for people on Malawi, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and some parts of Ethiopia to start using lamu port for their imports

Wonderful, Ghanaian doctor perform heart suggery without opening the patient heart at Ghana second largest hospital located in kumasi .......


Ghanaian doctors at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) have for the first time performed a successful heart surgery without opening the heart.

The new procedure which according to the doctors takes between 30 to 35 minutes, is one of the safest procedures to adopt.

This according to the hospital management is the first time such a procedure has been used successfully by local doctors in Ghana.

Speaking on behalf of the hospital management after the successful operation, Head of Nursing at KATH, Georgina Afua Sam noted that the feat achieved has been made possible as a result of a collaboration between the hospital and a Chinese Hospital, Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital.

According to her, doctors from the Chinese hospital usually visit KATH to help perform surgeries using this method but this time around, a team from Ghana alone performed the surgery using the method.


“In April this year, we signed an MOU with them in China for continued collaboration, capacity building and providing of facilities. For this fifth time, normally when they come, (all the missions) they do open heart surgery and pacemaker. For this time, they didn’t do any open-heart surgery, they did the valve and the replacement in which the heart was not opened. This is the first time in Ghana and this time too it was done at the Komfo Anokye Teaching hospital. We are so happy that our cardiologists had the opportunity to do the first pacemaker surgery which had a lot of benefits for the patient”.

After the successful operation, the hospital management is confident that they are in a better position to handle such issues in subsequent times.

Georgina Afua Sam then called on the general public with heart conditions to visit the facility to ensure that they are adequately treated.

“What we are saying is that we’ve started. We want the community, the entire nation as a whole to know that Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital has started and patients can come. They are warmly welcomed,” she added.

Speaking to Citi News, the team leader from the Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital, Prof. Lin Chunying said in order for Ghanaian doctors to be able to apply the new cardio technique, her outfit through the support from the Chinese government sent some Ghanaian cardiologists to be trained in China.

“From 2014, we have been training doctors in Ghana. The first Doctor is Dr. Francis from the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital and subsequently, we trained other doctors from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. All of them were under training for one year. They studied PCI, Intervention Operation including Pacemaker. After their training, they came back to Ghana and they tried to do operations themselves. So from 2014, I carried my team to Ghana to help them build their capacities and now they can do pacemaker themselves”.

She is hopeful that after the successful surgery performed by the Ghanaian team, the Komfo Anokye Teaching hospital will be able to perform subsequent surgeries using the new procedure (Pacemaker) in order to save more lives.

“I think in the future, the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, since they have a Pacemaker team, maybe every week, they can finish Pacemaker themselves to save more lives”.

Some doctors however disclosed to Citi News that some equipment needed is not readily available and as a result, in order to facilitate their work, such equipment should be provided.

They are appealing to government and other philanthropic individuals and organizations to support them in that regard.

spare my ribs bro Compairing what!!? Please bro leave south Africa alone. That is the only country in Africa that can tell us such nonsense. But Naijeria!!!? Oooh no please yes you are developing but not to that level of giving such silly comparison. Personally I love Naijeria and how it is developing. The last line you wrote shows how stupid uneducated you are.

Jonraid:
Well, it's only Nigeria in Africa that has its own indigenous car manufacturing plant. The rest of us just assemble. Congratulations! I hope that sounds good to you ?

Jonraid:
A new Toyota assembly plant

Mombasa, Kenya


The cars assembled will be the Hilux, Rav 4 and the Fortuner.

Made in Nigeria gets another big boost as Afri One a company that has a factory in Lagos opened in 2016 and is in full gear now I think they are planning on increasing production to start exporting to other countries in west Africa Benin, Togo, Ghana, Niger etc

Lol amazingly creative innoson..Your future is bright...just keep going

Just one more industry than we have the overview image and the completed buildings the free zone is divided into districts for light and heavy industrial products and for liquid and solid products the overview image is of the city part which is situated around what I call eagle lake and near the Atlantic Ocean

Abohboy:
A few more industries

Abohboy:
So I will be showing man images for now here are a few images of companies that have already set up their factories this is after 2 years and you know when we said Chinese cbd we meant it

Abohboy:
The Kenyan government is not spending 2.3 billion dollars on the port I searched it even the official website of the Kenyan prots authority says it is being funded by a development bank and a private Chinese company the Kenyan government may have a 40 or 20% stake in it but they certainly are not funding it on their own otherwise they would have done the same for the SGR but did they no.

And I took Google Map photos because I wanted to see how updated Google maps is I can show you real deal photos if that's what you want but don't be surprised by how many industries are already in the lekki free trade zone when the port comes online we will secure our place as one of the industrial hubs of Africa

samorobo:
Lol.i beg every Nigerian, no one should bother showing him pictures.thst would be you stressing yourself

..hahahaha trust me he will definitely chew on his word by the time it is completed

Mkenya2019:
Yes there have to be massive investment to bridge the infrastructure deficit in Africa. Africa Dev Bank is doing a good job. But what especially need to happen is for intra-africa trade to improve. Africa Free Trade needs to happen. Nigeria need to stop blockade their borders and deal with the smugglers.

As for KaziKazi he is just as usual - envious - otherwise their Dar Port is targetting countries that are further away than LAMU - Ethiopia. From Dar to Kigali in Rwanda or Bujumbura in Burundi or Lusaka Zambia or Lilongwe in Malawi or Kampala...you're talking minimum of 1,500kms - to 2,000kms (Zambia) - and probably further for DRC Congo.

Now LAMU to Ethiopia is just about 1,000kms. How cannot not be feasible? First we will grow the transshipment business, then get oil tankers to Lamu and eventually get Ethiopia & South Sudan using the port.

We need massive infrastructure investment in Africa - railway, highways and airlines - should be cross cutting countries - to boost intra-africa trade and travel - and improve the economy - rather than trying to trade with countries 10,000 kms away.

Mkenya2019:
How did I force you? Or the poor grasp of English coming to bite again?

Ethiopia is a huge country - Asmara and Sudan port make sense for northern ethiopia. Central Ethiopia (Addis Ababa) & Eastern Ethiopia make sense to use Djiboutti and Somaliland ports (Hergeissa). Now the southern Ethiopia - and there are many towns - make sense to use LAMU.For example - from industrial city of Hawassa - all the way to Moyale - will find Lamu port very competitive. It will be max of 1,200kms to LAMU port - about same distance from btw Nairobi & Kampala...so if Ugandans find Mombasa competitive...Ethiopeans in Southern region will find LAMU equally good for business.

I know you're envious as we deepen our relationship with Ethiopia and dump your lazy arse .

First we are going to buy 400Mws of their cheap hydros - and they are going to use LAMU port.

We are nearly done building the infrastructure for both export of power and the road network. Eventually we will build a railway network from LAMU to both Ethiopean and Sudan border.

We are going to see lot more trade, tourism and travel btw Kenya and Ethiopia. It's already starting to happen after Isiolo - Moyale road was completed. The plan is to build expressway from Nairobi to Isiolo in near future. Nairobi to Nyeri is already ready to start.

Pray for your maize & beans farmers - because Kenyans are going to be buying a lot of Ethiopian cereals.

Abohboy:
You see this is where I got the funded by development bank of South afirfa and a private Chinese company

Mkenya2019:
Ethiopia is huge country - like Tanzania - and will need several ports - the distance from Adis Abab to Moyale is 700kms - the distance from Lamu to Moyale...is about 700kms.

Now imagine if any one in Southern Ethiopia want to ship something...from Eritrea (Asmara) to Adis Abab is 1,500kms. The add another say 300-700Kms - so basically on average to ship something from Asmara to Southern Ethiopia is 2,000Kms.From port of Djibouti to Adis is 900kms. Then add another 500. Roughly 1,500kms for any southern ethiopean company to ship.

That makes LAMU with roughly 1000kms to most of Southern Ethiopia the best option.

So LAMU port make economic sense for Southern Ethiopia - it's near the border. The road btw Lamu to Isiolo is being built. Isiolo to Moyale is already built.South Sudan will grow - they have oil. They just need peace.

Here is their ambassador in Lamu last month
The Ambassador appreciated the commitment of the government of Kenya and pledged support & commitment of The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia in realizing the #LAPSSET projects to expedite regional growth.

"I was present on March 2nd, 2012 when this project was launched by the 3 partner states' Leaders & I appreciate that #LAPSSET is no longer a dream but a reality" Ambassador Meles Alem of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia

Show us pictures of construction - we are 2 months to next year - And please we don't have a magnifying glasses. I went through the Lekki deep sea website - and there is NOTHING happening.

LAMU Deep Sea Port is gearing for business...follow their twitter https://twitter.com/lapsset

Mkenya2019:
Dreamland. 561 Billion dollars That port will not be completed in next 10yrs. That will be another Ibandan-Lagos expressway or Ajakouta steel mill or name any public project in Nigeria -

see the poor kid seeking to spank his rich neighbour


someone whoes economy is dependent on import from Ghana
once we stop importing your gas and crude oil, you economy will go into recession

Abohboy:
I made a mistake turns out the it is 60/40 shares in it 40% for the Nigerian and Lagos state government than the 60% is for a Singaporean group who own the port of Singapore one of the world's busiest ports in the world and they say they will actually expand on to about 15 million TEUs by 2030 making it he biggest in Africa

It is also very strategically positioned right in front of the lekki free trade zone where lots of factories and industrial parks are you also have the new city area located around the eagle lake

Mkenya2019:
You're confusing Tanzania and Kenya. South African banks are biggest in Tanzania and Uganda - and do a lot of heavy funding for public projects.Kenya their subsidiary are small potatos. There is nothing any south africa bank fund in kenya now - I think we had a syndicated loan from them around 2010 - and we retired it.

LAMU port is funded by kenyans. It being build by Chinese. Most of our loans are from China, Japan, France, Africa Dev Bank, EU, WB and IMF.

Abohboy:
Mombasa has not overtaken Lagos first off second off lekki deep seaport was mentioned only seven years ago but they only started construction February last year that picture us from January today they have finished the 1.5km long breakwater and they are going to start the construction of the actual container port now

The first berth will come in Q2 2020 and when fully completed in 2025 it will be able to handle over 6 million TEUs making it the largest and deepest seaport in sub Sahara Africa
