We stole the contract from South Africa

Buhari alighting from the Nigerian made Proforce Armoured Personnel Carriers.

And recently we are moving into Military technology.

Nigerian Defence company Proforce recently exported armoured personnel carriers to Chad after South Africa failed to meet the initial agreement.

And Proforce already exports APCs to the UN peacekeeping missions in East Africa.

rvp2018:
Remove your blinkers and you'll see the beautiful kenyan flag - representing the only large non mineral economy of sub saharan africa - showing what is possible in Africa - if Africans engage their brains and their muscles.

There is nothing wrong with a mineral economy as long as the economy is diversified.

America exports oil. China exports rare Earth metals.

Nigeria exports oil as well as many other agricultural commodities.

But it doesn't change the fact that our manufacturing, tech and financial sector are only rivalled by South Africa in subsaharan Africa.

rvp2018:
Looking at 2022 - Ethiopia birr has collapsed (lost 1/4 of it's value) so nominal gdp will be down by 1/4 - Angola kwacha has appreciated by 20 percent - so will swap places with Ethiopia. Ethiopia civil war plus COVID-19 has taken them back - and unless resolved quickly - they will be down for sometime.

In medium term - Egypt will overtake South Africa - and Kenya to overtake Morroco.

Eguyt has already overtaken south Africa.

South Africa are in decline and are now the third largest economy in Africa.

Kenya overtaking Morocco?

I don't see that happening.

Shma:
We're talking about the productivity rate, your country is shrinking, Kenya is growing as usual. Focus!

Small - non-mineral economy, but we're doing better than Nigeria. Your country is stagnant - take lagos for instance, a zoo that you claimed to be having more GDP than Kenya, can't even smell a city of less than $50b.

I don't care about AFCTA. Don't be deluded too. Nigeria is known as a failed state, don't expect anybody to get worried about your absence.

Bring Abuja - your capital city, let's compare it with Mombasa, the second biggest. You'll realize that those figures are inflated. Despite your city having nearly the same population as Kenya, you're still struggling to maintain your city's economy. Which at max should be $7b... Mombasa is doing better than Abuja, and Nakuru is doing pretty much better than both - your logic does not hold water.

Is Kenya overrated? I didn't know that? I thought we're underrated and we need to do more to earn recognition. But luckily, papers and data put us on the map, so we good.

Your economy is fueled by population - oil is irrelevant in 2021, expect a huge loss in revenue. Your economic growth rate is dropping year in year out - your zoo was relevant when oil was everything.

Our economy is fueled by population?

Really?

So population will suddenly translate into money?

You don't know that you have to feed and provide Jobs and healthcare for that population?

You don't know that you have to maintain security and safety for such a large population?

You are a clown.

Your country is a tiny insignificant country.
I shouldn't even be talking to you.

You people don't own anything in your tiny economy.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Lagos GTP can be one trillion US dollar but still it does not matter the country is a shithole. 90% of the GDP is out of the country

Another nonsense.

What do you think the people in Nigeria are doing?

They would have all ran away like you if they were not contributing to GDP.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Thank you for telling them and hitting and nail on the head. Explain to me what tech companies do Nigeria have. Also the banking sector in Nigeria is dead nobody invest in bank, Nigerian banks and just invested in other countries because there is no future back home

Guy, go and sleep.

You are writing nonsense.

The problem with many of these African countries is that because Nigeria is always in the news for one reason or the other and with very little positive Publicity, they erroneously think their tiny shit-holes is better than Nigeria.

A Kenyan bragging to me about productivity.
A country dominated by foreigners.

SMH.

President Buhari commissioning Nigerian made Navy ships in December.

Post that of Uhuru Kenyatta

Shma:
Mr, I'm giving you raw facts. Facts that are not sugar-coated or salt-coated. Buhari is a nobody, And you know that.

What has Buhari done for your country? Nothing. Your country is in a taterdemalion state - rotting and stinking to the high heaven. A perfect leader should build a country, not destroy it.

Secondly, the numbers at hand is not the bone of contention. we're discussing your cooked figures. Your state economy at max should be $200 b, forget about $400b that your govnt lied to you.

Again, facts will set you free. you know very well Nigeria is a failed state. how can you equate it with a progressive country like Kenya?

For starters - with no mineral, and with the dismal economy, we've one of the biggest seaports in Africa- not comparable to anything in Nigeria, of course SA and Egypt can have a say.

We have the best airport in Africa outside bole and SA airline. Your failed state, which supposedly should be having the brand logo of the airline is busy holding the title for the biggest open defecation center in the world.

Should I mention the best City in Africa?

Should I mention the biggest shipyard outside Egypt and SA?

HDI is the best yardstick to measure a country's prowess. Your country is nowhere when Hdi is something to go by.

Mpesa stretches all the way to India. Get your facts right.

You are a clown.

If Kenya is so great, how can your productivity be so paltry?

What is your greatness?
Wgat do you contribute to the continent?

I am not here to argue about if Buhari is good or bad.
I am talking about his influence as president.

Nigeria is many degrees more influential than Kenya will ever be.
The president of Nigeria is more influential than Kenyatta will ever be.

When Nigeria refused to sign the AFCTA, the entire continent was worried.

Nobody would give a rat ass Kenya with the GDP less than that of Lagos refuse to sign.
Who cares?
It's one of those tiny overrated eastern Africans countries like Tanzania, Rwanda and Kenya.

You are all the same crap.

A lot of feel good sentiments but no real substance.
Even the tiny Kenyan economy is dominated by foreigners behind the scene.

You own nothing, you have nothing.

The Nigerian GDP is significantly bigger than $400b.

Our music and movie industries alone are in billions of dollars worth.

Manufacturing, Telecom, agriculture, tech.

Nigeria has the bulk of africas's wealthiest indurialists.

You are talking about your tiny shipyard.
Lol
It's definitely not in comparable to the one in Lagos.

Which ship or boat has Kenya manufactured?

Nigerian Navy has been building ships since 8 years old.

President buhari commissioned 2 locally manufactured Navy ships this December, 2021.
https://guardian.ng/news/nigeria/buhari-commissions-made-in-nigeria-navy-ship-others-to-boost-maritime-security/

Our next Target is to export these current products, and then upgrade our ship building technology.

We are not mates in anyway.
Our many challenges is a result of our big potential.

Tiny countries like Kenya with low potential have low challenges.
That is why you think your country is the best thing ever.

You are a insignificant irrelevant tiny African country destined to always be behind Nigeria.

Below are pictures of Nigerian made Navy ships and boats manufactured in the Naval Dockyard in Lagos Nigeria.

Pls post the ones that Kenya manufactured from your "shipyard".

Shma:
Do you even believe in these figures?

Nakuru for instance has a bigger economy than Mombasa, but Nakuru is sh"t to Mombasa.

Yes, I believe in those figures.
It's clear to the blind.

GDP of Lagos

https://agriculture.lagosstate.gov.ng/lagos-economy

The GDP of Kenya is $106 billion.

The GDP of Lagos State alone is $145billion.

Kenya has 55 million people, Lagos has 30 million people but with a much higher GDP.

Small yansh sef wan shake.

Shma:
come on! Buhari is a nobody as far as Africa is concerned. Your country is rag-tag because of an illiterate president like Buhari. In total wealth? Buhari is nowhere. progress? nearly zero.
https://ugwire.com/10-richest-presidents-africa-forbes/

Do you know what Nigeria is on the continent? Yes, a zoo and a poverty capital. We can't overlook the positive side; talk of good music and banking sector driven by huge population.

Growth: Nigeria is growing at an insignificant rate. while Kenya is growing at a whopping 9.9%, your country is doing a mere 3.9%.

In the tech-related sector, you're more or less on a Kenyan level. Most of your tech companies don't thrive in Kenya.

Richest presidents?
Really? Is that how you count influence?

Is Biden a rich president?
I don't want my president to be rich.
He is a civil servant.

The power of a president is derived from the power of its country.

If Nigeria is rag tag, then Kenya is non-existent.
Apart from Nairobi which doubles as your capital, there is no other notable commercial city in Kenya.
Don't mention Mombasa. I don't rate it.

No wonder your entire productivity is less than that of lagos State alone.

Nigeria is a manufacturing giant, Nigeria is a financial giant, Nigeria is an agricultural giant, Nigeria is an entertainment giant, Nigeria is an oil giant.

The cummulative sum of these industries is what makes our GDP the highest in Africa.

Kenya growth is 7-8% of GDP which is tiny.
Your GDP is small in the first place, so 8% of the Kenyan GDP is Peanuts.

Tiny GDPs tends to have greater growth percentage because the economy is small in the first place.
So there is a greater tendency for growth.

Compare that to Nigeria's GDP.
3% of Nigeria's GDP is huge.

We should do better, but the mathematics still has to be said.

3% of Nigeria's GDP is greater than 8% of Kenya's GDP in dollar terms.

Andela is a Nigerian tech company.
Employs thousands of kenyan software engineers and others all across Africa.

Nigeria has two tech companies entering unicorn status just this year alone, which mean they are now worth a billion dollars.
Just this year alone.

Flutterwave and Opay.

Apart from Mpesa which is only domiciled in Eastern Africa, there is no Kenyan company worth a billion dollars.

vastolord4:
The number of guns in rivers state is twice as much as those of our security agents in ss

They are the Texas of Nigeria in more ways than one.

Shma:
Don't compare Kenyatta with Buhari, Kenyatta is so so powerful.

Kenya is growing - not just economically. That is how powerfull Kenya is.

Kenyatta is not even a quarter as powerful as buhari or any past or future president of Nigeria.

Do you know what Nigeria is on the continent?

Kenya is growing, so is Nigeria and most African countries.

Our indigenous companies in Nigeria especially in tech are scaling up and expanding to East African countries like Kenya, Rwanda.

Nigeria and Kenya is not on the same level.

This is heavily skewed towards the Yoruba side.

In the old days, music was region centric.

The South East and the south south had music that ruled their airwaves.

.

dejt4u:
no, we only have a nuclear research reactor in zaria

Nigeria had a functional reactor and we gave it away.

China took it away through pressure from the US.

Very convenient to say.

When you already have Nuclear weapons.

yoged:
mumu. Oponu. She is Igbo

Nah.

Her father is Yoruba. By all intents and purposes, she is Yoruba.

Masterito:
Lol he many nonsense. Man you can be at Chelsea and say Inter has the best fans in the world. Chelsea has an office for coach/manager where Lukaku can go and shout at the manager but the fool chose media to distabilize the team. Chelsea needs Tuchel more than Lukaku.

And to think idiot has cost us the signing of erling haaland.

We will sell him off when the time comes.
Trying to go to war against a champions league winning coach.

Maybe he thinks Chelsea is psg.

frankson1:
Huncle, you guys should take it easy o. He grew up in poverty but he's left poverty behind now.

But there is a wisdom that someone like him should have.

He is not an ajebutter.

ANDREW91:
Do u know if he spoke with d coach b4 coming out. If he doesn't play, who loose, him or Chelsea?. They bought him for 98milli and he never play reach 20games. He signed 5years contract. He can decide to stay in Chelsea for the 5years and collect free salaries or Chelsea will terminate d contract and pay him the full benefits. In anyway, Chelsea loose

Chelsea can afford to wreck his career by benching him for the next five years.

It's chicken change.

Osas187:
Lukaku
"I've kissed Everton badge,Man utd badge,West brom badge and Chelsea badge but none of them tasted like Inter badge"

He is behaving as if he was born in wealth.

Someone that grew up in poverty should not be this stupid.

Afamsi:
Its not only Lukaku, there are other unhappy players at Stamford Bridge

The only unhappy players at Chelsea are Christiansen and Rudiger.

And they both want more money which would be resolved.

Lukaku is an idiot.

Sell this idiot, please.
He is not a Chelsea caliber player.

Honestly, I don't doubt this.

Tech has been phenomenal in attracting investments,capital and innovations.

And this is inspite of the govt, not because of it.

Iran is begging Putin for SU-30s when Isreal already had F-35s stealth fighters for years and have made those fighters even more lethal.

They have US made missiles specifically designed to destroy underground bunkers.

They have access to top line US weapons more than even the UK.
And they have the licence to modify and improve on these weapons to suit their pecuilar needs.

The latest toy they want from Washington is the air tankers so that they can refuel their planes in the air while they pound Iran to the dust.

President Biden is still delaying the delivery but it is only a matter of time.

Isreal versus Iran is like an adult fighting a child.

Zaggafrank:
Talk is cheap. Iran is not hamas or Palestinians that Israel specialises in annual massacres. They can't even defeat Hezbollah armed by Iran, it's Iran that some boko haram in Christian clothing think they can

Forget story.

Isreal will pound Iran to the dust.
The pounding will be total.

And that is why they are provoking Iran to a full scale conflict.
Isreal already asked America to stay out of it.

The only problem is that Iran is a great and ancient civilisation.

We don't want Isreal to end it.
