Mkenya2019: Dangote is not Nigeria. 130 million Nigerians live in absolute poverty yet Nigeria gas all it needs to make poverty history
yet all Kenyans have to show since 2019 is an elevated express aka bridge.
We now have functioning light rail in two of our cities, imagine if they were in Kenya, it would have been photographed a million times from a million angles to show Kenya is developing. Ordinary BRT you can't hack.
I'm glad countries like Nigeria are there to show you what real development is, not some lip stick flower planting projects
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
ProblemChild1: Largest Rice Mill in Nigeria begins bagging in Lagos to produce 5 million bags of 50kg rice at full capacity. It's called Eko Rice and will create loads of farming jobs for Paddy rice farmers . Eko Oni Baje O!
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
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
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
GreenandGold: 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....
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.
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..
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.
