Let me put it this way

I'm referring to countries that have made huge progress to industrilisation but they are not developed yet.Talk of Brazil,India,SA,Malaysia,Turkey and so on.The emerging markets are ranked higher in development terms as compared to lower middle income countries.

Can Nigeria and Kenya as of now imagine of pulling a budget of more than 100 billion USD just like SA right now? SA produces closer to one million units of cars annually,can we compete against this figures?

Brazil manufactures jets and planes and it's heavily industrilised but not yet classified as developed.I'm talking of such countries.This are the emerging economies,you can add Vietnam,Mexico,Argentina and Morroco into the mix.

Ibrahimanis:
My understanding of second world countries is different from yours which is why I asked you the list of Second World countries.

But going by your definition, Nigeria is also a second world country then because it is also an emerging economy.

So is Kenya.
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Jonraid(m): 7:55pm On Jan 06, 2019
Contemporary definition defines second world countries as emerging economies.I hope you know what this countries are.
Ibrahimanis:
Show me list of Second World countries. grin

It's an international university.The Nigerians are here and they love it.I have even seen Israeli citizens here. The University has a mall which is gaining ground little by little.KU is bigger than this but thank you for highlighting it.

Forget about Kenya.Is Nigeria in this stage? Nigeria is still a developing country and so a 2 percent economic expansion shouldn't be tolerated.Fact is,your bosses at the treasury and even the president aren't happy about this.For Nigerians to treat a 2 percent growth as normal and equate it with the growth as seen in big economies is pure comedy gold!

I mean the Nations in transition to become developed countries.Talk of most of the South American countries and the BRICS countries. Is Nigeria in this league? Can you even much SA numbers in most economic indicators!
bantudra:
and what is a second world country....??...its either you have it or not....

or you want us to start postin photos of mandela ghettos....??

go fvck yourself....
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Jonraid(m): 6:29pm On Jan 06, 2019
Are you in the league of SA? Is Nigeria a second world country? The answer is a definite NO!
Daejoyoung:
We are making almost thesame point.
2% growth rate is bad especially with the growing Nigerian population. But putting Kenya's 8% growth rate on thesame level as other countries growing at 8% is rather too simplistic.
8% growth rate though is great for the Kenyans at their level, just like Rwanda or Botswana may be a bit satisfied with their growth rate, but if the comments from Kenyans here are anything to go by, they want to be in the league of SA and Nigeria in no time, in that case then an 8% growth rate isn't huge.

Yes the whole census exercise might cost us about 200 million USD.Satelite imagery and mobile technology will also be used making it more accurate and fast.Most of the cash would be used in paying of the staff conducting the exercise and running of the various technologies like Satelite Imagery that can also tell the number of residential homes in a certain town or village!

It looks like I understimated our own projections which from time to time proove to IMF that they are wrong!
rvp20182:
That is IMF projection.Kenya treasury thinks it will be around 150b in 2022/2023.Just look at MPESA now easily moving 60B dollars per annum.Our population is now projected at 47 by KNBS.Census this August will provides the data we need.Giant mess were unable to fund their census.Just imagine that.Kenya will spend 200m dollars on Census deploying mobile data collection.

Cytonn Asset Managers Ltd (CAML) says it has been registered and authorised by the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) to manage retirement benefit schemes funds.

This is what we were talking about, rvp2018 rvp20183

Pension monies can be turned into a valuable asset that can finance big money projects into our country.

About time cash from the pension coffers is used in funding imvestments.

A 2015 report

Kenya has the fourth largest number of dollar-millionaires in Africa and was the only country on the continent to experience the growth in 2015.
The number of Kenyan dollar-millionaires rose by 2.41 per cent to an estimated 8,500 in 2015 compared to 8,300 in 2014, stated the Attitudes Survey published in Knight Frank Wealth Report 2016.
South Africa had the highest number of dollar millionaires in Africa on the continent and was followed by Egypt and Nigeria.
SA's dollar-millionaires were 46,500 last year, a drop of 2,400 from 48,900 in 2014. Egypt also experienced a decline of 2,200 year-on-year to 19,700 millionaires.
Nigeria had 15,400 last year – a reduction from 16,400 individuals in 2014 – while Angola came fifth with 6,400 individuals, 100 less than before.

https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2016/03/10/kenya-only-country-in-africa-where-dollar-millionaires-increased-last_c1310634


Nigeria with all that population and GDP should have thrushed Egypt and South Africa.
It's nice seeing a non mineral resource country featuring in the list!

Anyone with the projections or the latest figures about millionaires numbers in Africa can share it here!

Here comes the 5 billion dollar EU War Chest for Kenya for 2018-2022. Investments have always and always will be critical for a country's economic growth.


The European Union (EU) and its 19 member states on Monday, 12 November 2018, announced that they will invest 519 billion shillings (4.5 billion euros) on development projects in Kenya over the next five years.
The development partners have identified priority areas to support Kenya’s medium term plan 2018 – 2022 and its so-called big four agenda.
The priority areas range from sustainable infrastructure, job creation, resilience building, governance and accountability and could also span to other areas of strategic interest such as environment and climate change.
