I'm so tired of the same animes when looking for Josei

you look cool in your profile pic

gallivant:
Quit crying.

Emotions aside
I feel there are things we post here that is unnecessary, it's like Uganda going to Mozambique and claim they are doing well because they went for peace keeping.

If you know a little about military you,d know not to boast about some achievement

NTSA:
From the deserts of Somalia to the forests of congo our troops are getting some world-class experience

do your peace keeping thing and held back to Kenya. peace keeping doesn't build a country's fighting force...

Amongs all countries involved with DRC fighting you feel it was Kenya that made them lift the arms embargo...

Welcome to international politics, play it and forget about boasting.

In Africa

rvp2018:
Many people are seeing Nairobi preminence as Africa capital


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lglUbYkncTY

Africa Capital in what sense?
You're neither the economic power house
Or military power house. In both you come 10th or far top 20
There's nothing you rank first or even 3rd in Africa. How exactly do you want to become Africa Capital?

rvp2018:
Nairobi has more skyscrapper under construction than any city in Africa.
I believe now if you count building of more than 10 or 20 floors it probably has overtaken Joburg or just about.
Nairobi is only city in top 20 of LLC most dynamic (or rapidly) growing city in Africa - infact number 4 worldwide.
As for Abuja and Lagos - when generators go silent - we might hear you.
There is too much generator din. We cant hear you.

Nigeria now generates 20,000MW of electricity, compared to 1200 for Kenya

Lagos

All of a sudden, GDP figure is now important to Kenyans,

Kenyans have feminine behaviour... They argue like house wives

On the Dressing part..
If your dressing originates from the western world, you should evolve with them.

Suits, trousers, shirts and the likes are supposed to be fitted these days,
But these Kenyans have refused to evolve,
They are left in the 60s when the fashion then was buggy dresses, oversized suits and trousers, big ties and odd shoes with pointed curved mouth.
In Nigeria, we tend to even teach the whites how it is worn,

And we pride In our cultural attires even at the govt level.

Kenyans talking if night life? when Lagos is the entertainment capital of Africa

kabe1:
It seems Nigeria has purchased the Magnus Aircraft

are they for NAF?
This one they are buying all flyables

Lagos Nigeria.

rvp2018:
Nigeria is a country. And this thread is about comparison. If you dont like country comparison - with a negative feel to it - please look for other good feel threads in nairaland. I am sure they are millions such thread.

Why are you hooked up with thread you dont enjoy. I enjoy comparing countries and learn something at end of the day

you're clearly not comparing but criticising.
Why are you about the Ghana Economy like it's your daily hustle.

The beauty of this thread is the pics and not some ' comparison '

rvp20182:
We don't have rationing...we have more than we need..deal with Eskom blackouts without dragging other countries.If you're manufacturing then have electricity .Fact is Nigeria,south Africa, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Zambia have blackouts now. Kenya we are enjoying power 24hrs a day

Congrats, next is to feed the people of Turkana, and you can now have something to boast of.


Besides, you keep dragging Nigeria yet, we are busy living our lives,
Just find some other engagement that can yield cash.

Rvp has mentioned Nigeria today more than 20times, are you obsessed with us?
Well, we still have cultural Influence over your country, they love us

Imagine someone saying we're butt-hurting when his country is literally infested by Islamists and pirates parading the latest state's toys....the scores as we stand!

Nigerian Army : 0
Boko Islamists : 1

Next round was like...

Nigerian Navy : 0
Igbo Pirates : 1


Judging by the state of things, Naijaland won't exist In the next decade....

PTSD...take time off bro to clear your head.

how many do you count?

I've heard your own side of the story and what Kabe1 did was bad. take heart



Peace.

NTSA:
Seems like you really enjoy the back and forth thing

Our Boer/Southie friend is yet to recover from the mental stress of defending SANs lonely ship proudly sponsored by Kabe1.

Always Thought their laughing emojis were for fun. Never new it was to cover up an inner pain.

Let's all enjoy the military photos in peace.

GreenandGold:
So the Jihaddists time travelled from 2021 to capture the ARA MRAP that was going to be in service in 2022?

If the above is true, then I'll pay these guys a visit, I'm in need of Powerball numbers

you read this post... And help yourself, ARA has been in the Northeast for 2-3years now, so can't judge by that.

I know Kabe1 hurt your ego few pages back but well Boko Haram have truly been "technically defeated".

The question is why would they be showing these weapons just now? In the previous years they did that anytime they scored a major success on Our troops.
I leave you to add things up.

Toju200:
ara had been around since last two years bro these are some deployed 2019

Lurker4Long:
What resource do you use for your data? My company uses ACLED and we're always on the lookout for something better.
The pic below shows the results when I filter for only terrorist v army attacks. I then added a 2nd filter with air/drone/artillery/IED explosions.
As you can see, the date commences fro 01 Jan, and when on the system clicking on any of the dots gives you a description of the incident, and the source of the information.

But your chart hasn't proven otherwise. No major military equipment were captured from the Nigerian army since January this year...
The PR is for them jihadists to appear still in good shape, but the military messed them up this year...they never had it this bad, more than 20k surrender, many deaths.

They had to wait this long to bring out this PR

They were messed up from leadership down to their foot soldiers.

rvp20182:
You cant hate the mirror. We are the mirror. You have got here because of electing Buharis and other military dictator. This thread is the MIRROR in your bathroom.

oh shut up and logout.

rvp20182:
Look like only African team we will have is France as usual. Poor senegal. The English counter attacks & finishing just too clinical.

I know you are happy that African countries are crashing out of world cup,because Kenya isn't involved.
Kenyans are terrible people really.
If others make progress, it pains them.
Wicked souls.

Guys this thread needs to rest already,
Ain't you Kenyans tired of comparing youe country to others?
Gush!!! Just post your photos and rest.
You channel all your energy digging up bad reports about other countries daily.


All African countries are developing..

We need to lock this thread too.. it's disgusting, what goes on here

rvp2018:
Ruto hustler Fund driving savings and pensions up as side-effect of zero interest micro-loans for the informal sector. Kenya has 3 million formally employed (South Africa has 10 million) but bulk of Kenya's 30million adult over age of 15yrs are informally employed (8 million are small holder farmers, 4 million in schools/colleges, 15 million in non-farming informal trading/transports/name it. South Africa has close to 40m working age population...with only 10 million formally employed...and whooping 33 percent unemployed (majority blacks).

The story is the same for all Africa countries - tiny formal sector - gigantic informal sector plagued by zero savings/pensions/lack of affordable credit.

Kenya's Hustler Revolution gov has made that informal sector it's basis for it's economic revolution - otherwise also called Bottom Up Economic model - and it's getting started.

Improving the people at bottom fortunes even by a dollar every day - can scale up into massive economic push.

What Hustler Fund does is to allow them to borrow micro-loans almost every day perpetually - 5 dollars every day - repay- they are "forced" to save 5% - and gov matches that 2:1 - end of the year - everyone will have substantial savings - end of 5yrs - everyone will have substantial pension scheme.

Savings are what will drive the economy forward....as debt is using someone borrowing which you pay interest. With their pension scheme - they can afford to put down payment for a house or start big business - graduate from informal sector to formal MSME.

Kenyans who have taken out loans since the Hustler Fund scheme's inception had saved Ksh.147.21 million as of Sunday noon.
This is according to figures provided by Co-operative and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Cabinet Secretary Simon Chelugui on Sunday, who also stated that the savings were obtained through a Ksh.2.9 billion in loans

Kenyans have so far repaid a total of Ksh.129.1 million, according to CS Chelugui.

He said that a total of 8.4 million Kenyans have registered, with a total of 5 million transactions already made.

Savings from the Hustler Fund scheme are deposited into a savings account after 5% of the borrowed money is deducted.

so you mean the informal economy you were against is same one you now rejoice over. You need help sire

rvp2018:
Not a long booring debate on GDP PPP
Ten yrs ago: Kenya GDP was not even 40B; Today as we close 2022; we are likely to get 120B:
South Africa is stuck where it has been since 2010 and will be in 2030...400B...lows of 350..highs of 450.
Middle class trap is real.
Only Mauritius has escaped it
South Africa is facing LATAM situation.

you're officially the king and clown of this thread, you spend more than 18 hrs of your daily life here..


Nigeria alone is more than 50% of Ecowas economy.

Yet you feel ok mentioning you baby companies.

rvp2018:
Africans team should really work on their mentality - otherwise all the talent continue going down the drain - and it just tears in Ghana now

so you think other Africans have your kind of mentality?
Don't push your inferiority complex on others..
If you were from another country I would listen not a Kenyan, no na.. Turkana still needs food, hope you know.

Lurker4Long:
CaptainStephen, or anyone else who knows. Not speculate but knows.
When the NA unveiled the bike squad, they had proper off-road bikes. All the pics I'm seeing lately seem to be commercial bikes not suited for off-road.
What gives?
PIC1: Off-road COIN bikes at unveil;
PIC2: typical pics accompanying bike squad stories.

I always wondered why The NA didn't convert some of those commercial motorcycled to something more fit for off-road ride..it may be unethical to do so but hundreds if not thousands of those bikes have been destroyed...
If they can work on it with little modifications, as far as coin is concerned they are good to go..
And should serve well in the North-Eastern terrain.

block 2 my friend

yeah seems so

Nemesis4you:
Myanmar bought block 2

I read sometime ago that they had to go for block 1 cos the block 2 was taking to long to produce, can't find the article now. Guess I was wrong then

Stormtrooper11:
It's an Indian article tho. I didn't expect them to be neutral

The purpose is to demarket the plane. But as much as they tried, the article still points to lack of maintenance on the part of the Burmese military Due to sactions.
Same issues that grounded the Nigerian Airforce Jaguars, which the Indians still use till date.
But I trust NAF, and with her good maintenance culture the jf17 is in good hands.

Technical Problems Ground Myanmar’s JF-17 Fighter Jets Bought From China

Most of the newly acquired Chinese and Pakistan-made JF-17 fighter jets that the Myanmar regime has taken delivery of have been grounded due to technical malfunctions, according to analysts and former Myanmar Air Force pilots who monitor the junta’s air capabilities.

The JF-17 fighters—lightweight multi-role combat aircraft jointly manufactured by China and Pakistan—that the Myanmar Air Force has added to its fleet have structural cracks and other technical issues, they told The Irrawaddy.

The aircraft, which are supposed to be capable of interception, ground attack and bombing missions, have turned out to be unfit for service, and the Myanmar military lacks the technical expertise to fix the problems, they added.

Myanmar reportedly inked a deal in early 2016 to procure 16 JF-17s from China at a cost of US$25 million each. A first batch of six aircraft were delivered to the Myanmar Air Force in 2018, but details about the other 10 are not yet clear. The deal made Myanmar the first country outside China and Pakistan to buy JF-17s.

Myanmar regime chief Min Aung Hlaing put four of the malfunctioning JF-17 fighters into commission at a ceremony at the Meiktila air base in December 2018. Two more were commissioned in December 2019 as the Air Force celebrated the 72nd anniversary of its founding.

Jointly manufactured by Pakistan Aeronautical Complex and Chengdu Aerospace Corporation of China, the JF-17 was initially designed to balance India’s Air Force. They are equipped with Western avionics and powered by the Russian Klimov RD 93 aeroengine, and set up on a China-made airframe, according to analysts. They can be armed with air-to-air mid-range guided missiles, 80-mm and 240-mm rockets, and 500-lb bombs.

The critical part of the JF-17 avionics is the China-made KLJ-7 Al radar, which has poor accuracy and maintenance problems, analysts say. The aircraft does not even have an effective beyond-visual-range (BVR) missile or airborne interception radar.

Malfunction of the Weapon Mission Management Computer has caused launch zones of BVR air-to-air missiles to shrink during combat exercises, according to experts.

Furthermore, the airframe is vulnerable to damage, especially in its wingtips and hardpoints, when the aircraft encounters strong gravitational forces, according to a former pilot of the Myanmar Air Force.

Problems after purchase

As the avionics and electronics installed in JF-17s are made with parts from Western countries, the Myanmar military purchased the fighter jets through middlemen between 2015 and 2020. Following the coup, the European Union imposed sanctions against the Myanmar military and arms brokers, and the Air Force now has no spare parts for the JF-17s, according to analysts and former pilots.

The trade embargo also makes it impossible for the Myanmar military regime to directly buy missiles and bombs for its JF-17s. The regime meanwhile has forged a partnership with the Pakistan military, sending weapons system officers from the Air Force and Air Defense units to Pakistan for training from time to time.

For the Myanmar Air Force to carry out deadly air strikes on ethnic armed revolutionary organizations and civilians, it mainly needs air-to-surface missiles, and it reportedly held talks with Pakistan to order these as well as bombs and rockets. Around May this year, a cargo plane from Pakistan loaded with JF-17 spare parts landed in Myanmar.

Technicians from the Pakistan Air Force made a secret visit to Myanmar in September during which they set up a JF-17 simulator for pilots of the Myanmar Air Force at Pathein air base, and also solved some technical problems. A JF-17 weapons system officer however said the weapons system of the JF-17 is too technically complex for Myanmar pilots to handle, according to former pilots.

Current situation

Thanks to the JF-17s’ poor accuracy, the Myanmar Air Force still can’t use them for combat four years after they were commissioned. This has led the Air Force to rely on Russian-made Yak-130 and MiG-29 fighter jets and China-made K-8 fighters, said analysts.

While the Myanmar Air Force has spent a large sum to procure malfunctioning aircraft from China and Pakistan, arms broker Dr. Naing Htut Aung has earned millions of US dollars from the deal, The Irrawaddy has learned.

At the 72nd anniversary event for the Myanmar Air Force, Min Aung Hlaing boasted that the Myanmar Air Force started with Tiger Moth planes, but now has hangars filled with modern aircraft including supersonic jet fighters, transportation aircraft, and assault and transportation helicopters.

He made no mention of the Air Force’s unusable JF-17 fighters.

Myanmar went for block 1, there's a reason the Nigerian airforce waited long for the block 2
According to NAF the Aircraft is good, and are making good use of it.

vaxx:
most of the known ranking institution have consistently ranked Ghana university. It is a known phenomenon. Way back it has always been the best in west africa and one of the top seven in africa by any known reputable ranking institution like times higher or QS ranking.


I graduated with both chinese and india students and too many Lebanese.

higher times has always placed UI ahead of any Ghana University let's be guided when making bold statements in comparison.
Only recently did I start seeing GH University and it was like a major news to notify Unis here to wake up.

Village mindset.

ma'am I thought you slept already,


Well.

Okay


City Mindset makes you think, foreign military coming to train your military means they are now professionals.

Y'all are learners in Kenya.


Reason, you budget $1.2 dollars with zero new military purchase year on year.
Outdated war machine.
With more than half of the $1.2billion, stolen by your pot bellied generals whose shirts cannot be buttoned due to excess stomach fat
