Obaaderemi2:The manager says he simply executed a Mourinho-esque defensive masterclass after his team went a man down in the first half. The boys played really well though, completely comfortable in the fact that Hakimi was not in the team.

The new Lamu Port which is barely five years old (since first berth was completed in late 2019) is now receiving cargo vessels so large that no East African port in history, including the biggest Mombasa and Dar es salaam ports, has had the capacity to host. Lamu Port is capable of comfortably handling Post-Panamax ships with plans to expand it to handle ULCVs as the port and industry grows. The Port of Lamu today received MV Nagoya Express, the longest vessel ever to dock at an East African port, in what KPA said is a game-changing moment for regional maritime trade. The 335-meter container vessel picked up 140 TEUs destined for New York. The cargo had earlier been discharged at Lamu by MV Tolten, another Hapag-Lloyd supermax ship. Super massive cargo ships are now routinely dropping off their large cargo for smaller ships to pick, making this port a transshipment hub. The arrival of MV Nagoya confirms that Lamu’s deep-water berths and wide turning basin were built for ultra-large vessels that cannot be accommodated at Mombasa, where turning space is limited to 323 meters. The vessel was guided in by KPA Chief Pilot Captain Suleiman Bakari, assisted by Captain Abdulaziz Mzee, the General Manager for Lamu Port. Both were on deck to oversee safe berthing at Berth No. 2. Two CMA CGM vessels are expected next week, reinforcing Lamu’s position as the premier regional transshipment hub. KPA said the port is no longer testing waters — it is now anchoring East Africa’s maritime future. Lamu port is now getting regular shipping. Its niche is transhipment of cargo to regional ports with smaller berths such as Mombasa, Dar, Zanzibar, and other ports alongside the east coast of Africa as well as cargo destined for far flung areas such as the Americas and East Asia. Super massive vessels drop their cargo in Lamu port instead of waiting for weeks to dock at Dar. Saves them time as they move to next destination. Smaller ships come to pick cargo later. Meanwhile our business-hostile neighbors to the south are still wondering how to start constructing Bagamoyo port, which was supposed to be Lamu's ultimate comeuppance. By the time they start building Bagamoyo, Lamu Port will be something else altogether with new berths being constructed every financial year. In the images below, MV Devon, a Singaporean-flagged Korean container and an important transshipment vessel that runs the Dar-es-Salaam-Lamu route is seen transporting containers from Lamu to Dar Port, which is now already playing second fiddle to a much younger Lamu Port.

The grand opening of this 60,000 seater colosseum (Talanta City) is set for Dec 2025. This will be the premier stadium for the 2027 Afcon showpiece, hosting both the opening and closing ceremonies. Talanta Stadium is planned to have "cool night light effects" on its exterior, drawing comparisons to the Allianz Arena in Germany.

Kasarani Stadium hosting CHAN 2025. This is Kenya's Wembley. Don't forget the brand new Kenya's Santiago Bernabeu (talanta stadium) is nearly complete. The 2027 edition of Afcon is set to rock with the pamoja bid (KE TZ UG).

See how Kenya's SOG (Special Operations Group) deals with Somali militant group Alshabaab who try to infiltrate the heavily defended Kenya-Somalia border. This unit is not part of the army or police. It was created specifically by the National Intelligence Service as it's own armed wing to ease operations against terror groups. Previous operations using the army or police had been unsuccessful in dealing with these terrorists due to rigid command structures hence the creation of the special group. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lhHhF_o0g8?si=Llk_FDhTMhTxzv29 |

Black Americans are dead serious promoting medical tourism in Kenya. Very different from the s3x tourism promoted in Thigh Land https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Fv_oO48G8?si=m765HTW-ecYWxAjd |
QuietMynd:I warned sometimes back that if the govt of Kenya fails to respond to youth demands there will be dire consequences. People still think its a joke. The tone deaf leaders would rather fight protestors than do the right thing. Youths will storm the president's statehouse in millions one of these fine days and send the entire govt packing. |
Just30:Huge difference because Black Americans are not coming for tourism but to settle permanently. |
AfriqueDuZuid12:You havent explained how Black Americans have destroyed tourism in Thailand. |
Konza Technopolis. Konza Technopolis has a wildlife corridor designed to protect the local ecosystem and its inhabitants, including ostriches. Before construction of the city began, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) moved some animals out of the fenced area within the city limits. However, some animals, including a few ostriches, remained in the fenced up area to spice up the natural ambiance and promote eco-tourism within the smart city's boundaries.

AfriqueDuZuid12:Tourism in Thailand is facing a downturn due to a combination of factors, including a decline in Chinese tourists, concerns about safety and scams, and a weaker global economy. |
AskiaHarem:If you had bundles or access to wifi you'd have watched the videos and seen that none of those people are ''passport bros''. They are black americans who have settled in Kenya for years now with their own businesses. I blame the generator fumes for clouding your medulla. |
''Passport bros'' continue trooping and investing in Kenya, unapologetically. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKYGOceVI0M?si=5d33zyfOoEAGkPk4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4J0SLZp6Mo?si=0d5tossTh0i_w_Nu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dtm6VHVuLnk?si=3BbbUt9ZCakmytOm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJLvRUjyFTc?si=EHS_UcpukEtkFoO1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og_ph_XBN3M?si=X-SfKRYqOHN7IAF5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXaKSYqMabI?si=RSiBtsFCPWI4FgN4 |

Nigerian paratroopers tried pulling this landing off during their independence day celebrations and ended up crashing onto stadium rooftops, trees, billboards, vehicles, toilets, and roads. Its a fairly easy move that Kenyan troopers regularly pull off on such occasions to pinpoint precision.

GeneralDae:The fall is not sudden but gradual, starting immediately after you rebased. Nigeria's GDP is just about in its proper place right now at around 180B — The Kenyan GDP is almost catching up at 131B. In fact if Tinubu does not pull up his socks the catchup will be complete before the decade ends. Whichever the case, dont confuse exchange rate dynamics and rebasing, the latter is done to keep up with the evolution in prices. Your president's decision to let the local currency float freely has seen naira lose 70% of its formerly artificially high value, which is exactly what we are seeing because your GDP has dropped nearly 70% from the heydays of the 2014 rebase. Just a point of note, you could have a trillion dollar GDP and I would not say its fake, even though I know it is. I never said so when it was 576. GDP is a very artificial number that depends heavily on how you measure it — exchange rates, inflation adjustments, and rebasing can all drastically shift the figure without reflecting any real change in people’s daily lives. |
vaxx:That is just abominable |
QuietMynd:Which figure? I quoted the entire trend and highlighted two significant areas showing the GDP fell from a high of over 500B when you rebased on 2014 to a low of 188 this year, is that outdated? You might need to rebase again or tell your president to do his f#cking job! |
vaxx:OMFG! If this was my govt the president would be literally sh#tting his pants. |
