The muslim billionairre in Dangote should make sure more of Northerners access the highest office in the land. I think Dangote is now a power broker. Buhari is here to stay!

rvp20182:
The muslim north are very primitive and they are in the driving seat of Nigeria.

Yet again this year they are having a budgetary crisis.Their projections are strongly tied to price of oil per barrel. This dependacy on oil is detremental to Nigeria's economy! It's about guess work,low oil prices should be good for Kenya as we will lower our oil import bill hence easing inflation in our economy!

rvp20182:
The problem here is not per capita; it the gov revenues to repay that debt; our national budget is bigger than your federal budget; total combined state+federal budget for nigeria is 40B; kenya is 35B; but look at revenue side of things; and you'll know why you're in debt crisis and we are not.

We easily collect about 20B dollars from taxes (15B) and another 5B from AIA - so we are fine.

Look at your revenues collectons - all 36 states generates only 3B dollars - your federal gov generates about 10-15B dollars including from oil earnings.

You're in a bigger trouble. And this is not the first time - you've been through this again.

I can see the internal debt increasing with banks lending more to the Govt and decrease in the external debt. Treasury bonds in the local market are oversubscribed whenever they are issued . While banks lending more to the government will have negative effects on credit access to our SME's and Kenyans in general. Sacco's and mobile based lenders have been the biggest winners of this shift.Remember, we have the second largest if not the largest SACCO movement in Africa and we are the world's juggernauts when it comes to Mobile Money!

The decrease in the trade deficit due to increase in export values and the 6.2% projected growth of the GDP should lower our debt to GDP ratio easing pressure on the Treasury. The only thing that will lower us this year according to analysts would be the increasing political temperatures on stuff like referendum and the 2022 succession politics but so far so good !

Facts!

mtisTheQubit:
Electricity access rate in Kenya is the highest in East Africa according to the latest report from the World Bank tracking global achievements in sustainable energy for all.

According to The Energy Progress Report covering the period up to 2016, electricity access rate in Kenya stood at 56 percent, compared to Tanzania at 32.8 percent, Rwanda at 29.37 percent, Uganda at 26.7 percent and Burundi at 7.5 percent.



The electricity access rate in the country stood at 73.42 percent as at the end of April 2018 , owing to various national electrification projects that have been undertaken by Kenya Power.

now its 2019

It is the sixth most dynamic city in the world. The only one from Africa!

darfay:
Wow Nigeria got 30% of total tech deals in Africa despite having only 20% of the African population. Those bastards won't talk of per capita now

Get used to them doing that,those are the last kicks of a dying horse!

Just30:



NOW they've resulted to editting my posts

You have been a pain in the yansh for the Nigerians in here

Just30:
your sickness is really serious

Paste it here,paste the part which says Nigeria has the most funding. I'm having a problem accessing it.

Check the link

I admit that was a slip up but no one takes Dodoma seriously. You can have it as of now, it was a mistake

obaaderemi:
Dodoma is the capital of Tanzania. Are you sure you are a student of geography like you claimed. What's your school again? Kenyatta University. No wonder. Edit your post before we see it.

It's the fifth largest,not the third largest.

Kenyanstar:
Clueless is the right word to describe nigerians... You can add dumb too to complete a Nigerians mentality. No wonder your president's second name is clueless mumu.
ELDORET TOWN
Its the 3rd largest town in Kenya. Its economy is purely Agricultural, little tourism and sporting town. It has the biggest number of glorified sport men in Athletic competition.

Which country got the most funding? Leave alone the number of deals

Ibrahimanis:
African tech and start up ecosystem 2018 report.

According to the WeeTracker’s Venture Investments Report 2018, USD 725.6 Mn was invested across 458 deals — a 300% gigantic leap in the total funding amount and over 127% increase in the number of deals as compared to 2017.

In terms of the number of deals, all inclusive, NIGERIA outperformed all other location with a total of 136 deals. South Africa, which gave it a close competition stood second with 107 deals followed by Kenya with 73 deals.

The honest truth! Forest cover in rich economies is increasing whilst in poor economies it's the opposite. Something needs to be done!

The article is worth a read!

bantudra has a generator leasing firm. He makes a lot of Naira from it. It's a sad story that the Naira is so worthless!

What about nigeria
Generators rule

But but but but Tanzania is more connected! We are about to build another 90 MW of Solar power projects in two areas of Rift Valley just a few weeks after unveiling Garissa's 55 MW of clean solar energy!

I wish we were a bush. Our target is to make the forest cover in Kenya to cover 10% of our land.We are on a nationwide campaign on tree planting striving to make Kenya green!

bantudra:
and kenya is a giant bush....

kiiiki....

A forest is better. Forests are important, Nigeria is a cesspool!

Nigeria is one big FOREST

I've proven my case with a map,why don't you do the same with a link or anything. Don't just say for the sake of it.


Arid and Semi-Arid Areas (ASALs) constitutes about 80 per cent of the land mass in Kenya and hosts about 70 per cent of the country’s livestock. They also host about 90 per cent of Wildlife that attracts tourism into Kenya. ASALs are also home to about 10 million Kenyans.

Kazikazi:
75% of kenyans can't be stacked in a few lit up areas.Or just be honest and say Kenya's electricity connectivity is way less than 75%.

Let's not forget, satellites haven't been taught how to cook data!

But it's the population map of our country. Notice that the more denser areas appear to be more connected. Far flung areas with low population might not get the same exposure when a satellite imagery is taken.

Someone knowledgeable might actually get my point.

bantudra:
not accordin to that map....

what that map shows is that few have,many dont have....you cant tell us the rest of kenya is empty...that dont make sense....

Let us be objective in our thoughts. Big Cities with large population will mostly reveal lit up areas. The Kenyan situation isn't bad. I don't know why Kazikazi is blowing things out of proportion. We have better connectivity than most countries in Sub Saharan Africa,that's a fact!

bantudra:
its sad that they are like this...its like the other kenyans dont exist....did he said the rest is mostly desert....??

The guy is such a joke! We never knew of it. I'm glad the building might either be thoroughly redisigned or demolished so as to pave way for a new one. About time we have a brand new state of the art conference facility. This is him explaining the donkey's dong part!

bantudra:
hahahaha....

Architecture and dicks go hand in hand too. This one was a bit overboard and Kenyans felt cheated but it's worth the read. We will never see KICC the same again!



https://hapakenya.com/2018/10/08/kicc-main-tower-design-was-apparently-inspired-by-a-donkey-penis/

bantudra:
uhhh....now its architecture....whats next....??...dicks....??

kiiikikikiki....i prefer we compare dicks.....i cant wait to compare my dick....

kiiiiikikikikikiki....

The second picture is everything!

Iamleefact:
Take notes

Our architecture is better! The buildings are beautifully designed!

Iamleefact:
Somewhere in nairobi

This figure will soon rise to 90% . And then claim that we are liars but yet he's the one giving us the figure

tylann:
Who said 85% of kenyans are connected ?
We said 75% are connected
You like putting words in our mouths to entertain Nigerians
Just show me where any kenyan said 85% people are connected to electricity

The biggest dot in Kenya swallows the one in Tz. The second biggest dot in Kenya is just a bit smaller than TZ's capital City of Dar Es Salam. Just check !

Kazikazi:
They are simply cooking data.In Africa, most of our statistics are unauthenticated.
Space satellites don't cheat.

They do and it's a fact. We have the ASALS region in Kenya. People forget that Kenya boarders other predominantly hot and dry countries like Somalia,South Sudan and hot and dry areas like North Western Uganda and the harsh dry Oromo inhabited Southern Ethiopia! We are in IGAD for a reason!

Kazikazi:
That's how you defend your poverty.If,as you guys claim, 85 of Kenyans are connected,so this lit up areas hosts 85% of Kenyans population?

The green areas are the typically hot and dry areas of Kenya. The population density in this areas per square kilometre is way low.Look at the yellow areas,that's where most Kenyans are. How can someone expect the Nyika areas to be more lit up. This beats logic !

Iamleefact:
They want us to light up deserts and Tsavo

Correct!

rvp20182:
Exactly.These are proper middle class countries with about 5-12k USD per capita.Majority though are stuck in the middle class trap and may never become developed or high income countries like most of western Europe,US,Canada, Australia,New Zealand, Singapore,Japan and South Korea.

Check the lit up areas on the map,then again check where most Kenyans live.Do you see a correlation?

On my first year at the varsity,I did 'Geography of development as one of my units'

Demography and development are two inseperable terms to human geographers.

The lit up areas in the satellite map confirm to this statement.My argument is closed! Where people are clustered together you'll find some sort of development as opposed in areas where the population density is way lower. You could have first studied Kenya's demography before showing us your idiocy!

Kazikazi:
Study the photo below.
Now answer me, why Kenya is darker than tz? Where is your electricity?
Now agree with me, You didn't connect many people into electricity.
You cooked data.Satellite images are exposing your lies!

Thanks for the guess but you are wrong!
