when I hear Nigerians say white ppl control and has been brain washed ppl of kenya, Ghana SAS and other countries without Nigeria other countries in Africa are useless. I laugh till my tummy hurts. The iphones, Internet , cars, oil dwelling machines, computer, dangote oil refinery was built by the white folks. Stop using them if ur economy you been bragging about every day can survive a second. illiterate mediocrity hypocritical stupidity ppl. As we talk now with country is most useless in Africa. thank God I'm not a Nigerian and. Africa knows you Nigerians talk big but empty like their empty brains. lol how can so called educated ppl elect an illiterate to be a leader how lol

My man, it's always dangerous to think with your anus, every Tom, dick and Harry knows the whites built everything, what we are saying is that they shouldn't also be the leading business men and/or capitalists in your country.

How do Indians own Kenya? Because they have big manufacturing businesses?

I think it has been stated here roughly one million times that Indians found themselves in manufacturing due to circumstances. The first govt after Independence knew Indians had a headstart in business, having been treated more fairer than indigenous Kenyans. So they didnt want Indians competing with locals in every businesses. So they banned them. Indians couldnt even own a hotel! Only a few sectors of the conomy were left open for them and the smart ones ventured into manufacturing. In any case, the govt knew Indigenous Africans didnt have the skills and resources to venture into the capital intensive sector and there is no better way than to allow a section of your population to venture there than to allow foreigners to venture there. So Indians were always a safer bet in that sector. Why? They are patriotic Kenyans, they produce goods and pay taxes here, none of it goes abroad. As opposed to your foreign oil companies that mine your oil and the money they make they repatriate abroad leaving Nigerians staring at empty shells. So indians dominate manufacturing, and we appreciate that. But dont think indigenous Africans dont do manufacturing, its just that the Indians got a headstart and lead in that sector. There are countless manufacturers who are indigenous and they are doing probably better than 99 % of other African indigenes, and no disrespect to Africans.

This is why we are telling you it's not reasonable comparing Kenya ( with this kind of history you just narrated now) to Nigeria. indigenous Africans didn't have the skill in manufacturing because they were largely illiterates compared to the lndians and others , but now at least education is almost widespread, the Kenyans should be competitive enough to begin to dominate manufacturing and not leave everything to the lndians. At least you are smart enough to identify the problem, the rvp2018 of a guy would rather mask his shame by claiming the lndians are a so called 44th tribe.

rvp20182:
You have 1M Nigerian indians & Lebanase - why not show-case what they are doing - I guess like everyone - they are running kiosk & selling chinese manufactured goods.

We are proud of Kenyan Indians...and we recognised them as INDIGENOUS. They are doing great in manufacturing...kicking white owned global conglomerate in their butt..and black Africans are learning from them...and spinning their own industries.

Hindu officially is 44th tribe of Kenya.

https://www.nation.co.ke/news/Hindu-officially-becomes-Kenya-s-44th-tribe/1056-4027242-12m5ygj/index.html

wow tell me something, l hope this 44th tribe can also be found in large numbers in Kibera?

rvp20182:
We are talking about Kenyan industries - if you want we can talk about Hausa industries and declare Dangote is Hausa-Nigeria.

Dangote is a black Nigerian man from Kano state. Hindu Kenyans are originally from lndia and they do not have the population of the original black Kenyans in Kenya, yet they own Kenya. lt's as ridiculous as having South Africans telling you whites in their land should always be on top of their business chain because the whites are also South Africans.
This is so simple to understand , l don't know why you don't get it.

rvp20182:
Some me Nigerian brands that are rivalling Uniliver Nigeria - which of you companies say rivals Uniliver Omo's in detergent. Let start there. Then can a Ghanian name any 10 or so brands from Nigeria? How many are those Nigerian brands in super-market in Nigeria and regionally in ECOWAS - I am told NADA - Shoprite has to import tiger products from South Africa

Even Ghanians themselves can testify of the number of Nigerian businesses and companies in Ghana.
lf you wanna know about Nigerian brands across West Africa, you can do your research, it's your homework, or other Nigerians here would help you, l just don't have the time to go into all that because it's not something hidden.

TayserMahiri:
running which things

rvp2018 posted your top companies and they are all by the Hindi Kenyans, except for a few by the President, so I'm asking why this is so.

rvp20182:
Okay one minute you say - all our industries are owned by "indians" - the next you cry here?

And please we are not talking Nigeria companies that re-badge chinese finished goods - we are talking companies that have built brands for many years - which is why conglomerate all over world - are buying them. Brookside by Danone. InterConsumer by Lo'real. Haco by Tiger Brands of South Africa.

Kenya industries dominate East, part of southern & even Central Africa. In COMESA which spans about 20 countries - Kenya is only second to Egypt. We just signed AFCT - and you should sign so we can sell you products made in kenya.

Beside if Nigerian had any decent goods - your supermarket won't be dominated by SOUTH AFRICAN brands.

To help you get my point, Nigerian brands and companies are so many. So it is strange to me that you are bragging about a few black Kenyans who manage to manufacture body creams, and yet you want to compare with Nigeria?

My man, brands of soap and body creams are in almost all countries by local business men, not just in Kenya or your small East Africa. l believe the Kenyans here are even ashamed. lf these brands are that big then why are they only in East Africa? Dominating the East African market and some parts of Central Africa is not a big deal. Nigeria has so many of her brands too, but isn't it shameful that you think this is an acheivement for Kenya.

Dude stop disgracing Kenya here, these type of businesses are in almost every country. Gosh.

rvp20182:
Big discovery - those are kenyan indians - 3rd generation if you want to be specific - and that is beside the point - unless you're obsessed with race & tribe - those are kenyan built companies - ran by kenyans and employing kenyans - and they are just the tip of the iceberg. Nigerians you cleary don't manufacture anything.

Why is it only the Kenyan lndians running things? where are the original Kenyans?

HAHAHAH I now see why the likes of obaaderemi calls KENYANS little Indians , why on earth would u guys celebrate what Indians and white built ?, the only"Black Kenyan " i see on the list is the corrupt KENYA President ,
Plus, Brookside is not the largest in Africa rather in East Africa.
"Brookside Dairy, established in 1993, is the largest milk processing company in East Africa, controlling about 45% of the market, having expanded both organically and via acquisitions. Currently the company has processing plants in both Kenya and Uganda. Products include fresh and powdered milk, yogurt and butter with distribution in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania." Brookside website

1. Safal Group - Indian
2. BIDCO - Indian
3. EABL - owned by British Diageo plc (50.0%) and 45% foreign companies owned

This is pathetic, only major black owned business belonging to the president No wonder the little Indians do nothing but pour out their frustration day and night on Nairaland. They truly deserve to be called little lndians.

nwoke37:
They're obviously other many states that manufacture... There's even manufacturing in Northern states..
It's spread out after the key states

Aba is not a state... it's a city..

You even have time for these people, imagine comparing Kenya to a big country like Nigeria, and wanting to compare both manufacturing sectors, lol.
Nigeria don suffer, l don't blame dem sha, l blame Nigerians and the failed leaders. l tell you the truth, if Kenyans can be so confident to believe they have a bigger manufacturing sector than that of Naija, the likes of Gambia and Senegal may also begin to feel thesame way soon. lt's a pity actually, all these Ghana, Kenya don see us finish and it's not their fault.

Jonraid:
I can see! I feel for you.Why go to Europe in the most dangerous way? Are Nigerians that desperate to leave Nigeria? Big economies in the continent don't do the things that Nigerians do! Why not Kenyans,South Africans or Egyptians?

Don't be fooled, that guy is your fellow Kenyan.

Kenyan Comedian MC Jessy making fun of Nigerians and their accent


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfJndbJec-8

But educated Nigerians do not always speak that way(what he was trying to mimick in which he failed). Educated Nigerians can easily speak like that and speak like the white American if they want. He tried though, but that's not the Nigerian accent (Yoruba and lgbo accent from Nollywood). it was even strange to Chindima when he started if you observe but she just played along
l'll give him 4/10 though.

These are the kind of awards we should be looking forward to.

rvp20182:
That make sense - but why would Dubai spend billion of dollars building a new city - without working on the security of the city. Or you think a city is concrete ugly jungle I see in most of Nigeria? You talk terrorism - like it cannot be defeated - look at Nairobi - we had a lot of that - but we invested more than 150M dollars (or around 500B NAIRA!!) in CCTV & such technology everywhere - number plate recognition - chinese gave us latest phone tracking & secure radio communication etc - now terrorism or kidnapping in Nairobi has reduce to nearly zero.

Nairobi & Mombasa is now under serious camera surveillance...we have managed to foil so many attacks from Alshabab. These are intelligent cameras..with facial recognition...number plate recognition...and we continue to make heavy investment in security.

Why are you spending 1.6 billion dollars on military...how is that suppose to provide security to 200M people. Poor Kenya without oil is spending 1B on the army.We spend another 2B plus on the police.

Boko Haram is home-grown terror - why hasn't nigeria defeated those idiots? With you oil - you cannot even beat Uganda - who have latest fighter jets - SUkhois!

Are there no other resources in this world apart from oil?
As for Abuja, the reason they ranked it poor was due to the fear of the Boko Haram threat, that was the reason given in the article ranking those cities. Abuja has almost 24hours electricity and water, at least from what l heard from family members and friends who have lived there and some who still live there. Boko Haram is the major problem with Abuja according to the website that gave the rankings.

Guess in your dream. You must be an aggrieved IPOB member or a jobless folk to be sleeping on nairaland.

He is not a Kenyan, probably a member of the pdp or something like that. Not that I'm a fan of Buhari though.

nwoke37:
Abuja is like first world inside a 3rd world country.. In upcoming years Abuja might even dust Capetown

Yeah and it's a city of not more than three decades.

To be honest Abuja is a place to be, lots of beautiful places. l know l'll visit some day.

You mean this..

Dangoteland architecture can't compare with us or SA,fact! I saw a boxy gold plated mansion on this thread they were ululating about and was like,"WTF,really,niggas!?" Sorry, but their aesthetics,like everything else are stunted,underdeveloped or totally FUBAR.

Are you Kidding me? ln all of Africa, no country comes close to Naija when it comes to architecture.

NairobiWalker:
Helios is not a Nigerian company lol. It is an English company..................and a few shares in a company doesn't make you have influence in a country. People from third world countries have shares in companies in first world countries. You guys are so desperate for recognition you'll jump on anything for it. One of you was demanding an applause because your teachers teach in other African countries.

Helios was founded by Nigerians in the U.K, that makes it a Nigerian company.

NairobiWalker:
So that makes Telkom Kenya Nigerian property?

But you guys claim Nigeria is completely useless and have no influence in Kenya. One of you even lumped Nigeria together with Somalia as a failed state.

NairobiWalker:
......and you seriously believe that slowpoke? Nigerians are stupidly funny. lol. Next you'll tell us Nigeria owns the Central Bank of Kenya. LAWD have mercy.

Helios investment Partners have 60% of the shares in your Telkom Kenya.

Taysermahiri, blackboys, here's Basketmouth in Tanzania and Kenya and Kenyans loving the Nigerian accent... Note that with pidgin the joke comes to life but even with English, he is still articulate. Do you have Kenyan comedians who can make West Africans laugh by speaking just English?
