Who needs a new double track when you can do double-stack?

Remember we are refurbishing the old railway which is still much in operation!

Are your poverty numbers increasing or decreasing? Answer me this!
What have you done to tackle poverty? What are the results now? Is poverty in Nigeria on a downward trajectory or is it incresing?

Poverty is the elephant in the room that Nigerians don't want to adress!

PROVERBZ:
same as Kenya and every other African country the difference is that Nigeria is building the future by turning to tourism and diversifying its economy

Building cities hospitals and schools included
Also focusing on home produced foods
Hmmm future is bright

Get people out of absolute poverty.That is where it matters most for Nigeria.This Eko City will soon habour lots of small shops and kiosks all over when it's done !

PROVERBZ:
South African minster posted about eko Atlantic
A few comments from them

If they think 6billion USD eko Atlantic city looks like Dubai what will they say about 18.5 billion USD centenary city

Hmmmmm one day Nigeria will achieve its goal of world power

What was he doing here though? Was he a yahoo boy,a tourist a business person or a student?

NairobiWalker:
You really had to stoop to the level of Obaboon and No-ones-anus? Lol, you've lived in Kenya enough to understand the jokes Kenyans crack online via troll accounts man.

This was a troll post.Nigerians are now scrapping at the bottom of the barrell!

naijalander:
When NairobiWalker or Kikuyu11 tell you Kenya is better, this is what they mean: Kenyans have better access to small loans and that makes them perpetual debtors. These guys are probably using borrowed data to browser Nairaland. Can't same the same for the Nigerians on this thread.

Cheap is expensive

No wifi,no stable electricity and no insurance in those houses!

rvp20183:
And there is houses for any prices.from slum costing 5-10 dollars a month to some that can fetch near 10k dollars.The problem I see with Nigeria is the slumification of everywhere that drive rental and properties down.So you pay for what you get... Nigeria slum cities are cheap of course and are also very bad.

Our tea firms generate their own power,our godowns also do the same,Strathmore University does generate its own energy,our malls too generate some power,Moi International airport would soon run on solar power.

Most enterprises in Kenya are doing this.We will see more of this in the years to come!

sufferNsmiling:
You need to explain more in detail to this nigerian people. The biggest horticulture farm in kenya have their own geothermal power plant. This is what we call development. Not like dangote which import 200 million us dollar of diesel a year into nigeria. A lot of big industries and companies in kenya have their own geothermal or wind turbine plants.

They are the masters of fictitious data!

sufferNsmiling:
I have now come to realise that nigeria does not know how much electricity is generated just look at these pics in the last 6 months. You can see the country does not know how much electricity is generated. The power generation is between 2000 megawatts and 10000 megawatts. A country which cannot even generate constant electricity it is better to generate 3000 megawatts continuously than to generate up and down electricity

Soon affordable housing will be a thing for everyone. The housing fund will be collecting almost a half a billion dollars annualy in the housing levy fund.This affordable housing agenda will be a game changer in our real estate industry!

NairobiWalker:
The fact that your Nigerian brothers can't afford them is not because they're expensive but because your brothers are poor. Housing in Nairobi is cheaper and better than in Lagos.

They can't fathom that people from those houses can pay 1,200 dollars a year rent.It's normal here!

NairobiWalker:
The fact that your Nigerian brothers can't afford them is not because they're expensive but because your brothers are poor. Housing in Nairobi is cheaper and better than in Lagos.

The guy is right

Kismayu's amphibious attack by the Kenya Defense Forces

How it happened...

Kenyan military planners duped Al-Shabaab into believing that a land invasion of their last remaining bastion of kismayu was imminent before making an amphibious landing from the sea.
While Al-Shabaab planned its defences based on that assumption, the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), part of the African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom) in the Horn of Africa country, was training at sea.
“As the KAF (Kenya Air Force) engaged in aerial attacks the other forces were moving in by sea, from where they were to disembark. Essentially, it was intended to divert attention, especially from the Al-Shabaab.
That’s why you (the media) did not know about it yesterday (Thursday),” said Col Cyrus Oguna, the KDF spokesman.
The surprise landing in Somalia’s coastal city of kismayu by Kenyan troops on Friday was the culmination of a three-day secret undertaking, the Saturday Nation can reveal.
It involved attacks from the air, land and sea, all happening at the same time, and was codenamed Operation Sledge Hammer.
It was the first time the KDF ground troops set foot in
kismayu , the stronghold of terrorist group Al-Shabaab, since the Kenyan troops crossed the border into Somalia in October last year. (READ: Kenya declares kismayu fall imminent)
Landed in middle of the night
The operation involved bombing by KAF F-5 jets and more shelling by Kenya Navy ships from the Indian Ocean with the ultimate aim – landing Kenya Army troops in the city – being executed in the middle of the night.
Col Oguna, the operations officer in charge of Information at KDF, said: “By 2am (Friday), the last forces had gotten out of the naval vessels and were safely on the ground. It has been on for the past three days and that’s why there were air strikes in key Al-Shabaab logistical bases.”
The high-ranking officer left his usual station in Nairobi for
kismayu and arrived with the fighting troops so as to provide regular updates from the battleground.
Col Oguna said the capture, a secret undertaking, was an “amphibious operation”, an organised military landing by means of combined naval and land forces.
Military officers and analysts have since dubbed it the first of its kind in Africa.
The strategy was all along to make the Al-Shabaab believe that the attack on kismayu would be launched by ground troops advancing by road, most probably the ones at Jana Abdalla, the most recent township to be captured by KDF before Friday’s onslaught.
‘KNS Jasiri’ sees action
Recently acquired naval warship KNS Jasiri, which arrived in Kenya in August, was among the vessels used to transport the Kenya Army troops. Col Oguna said the naval vessels carrying the ground troops left “one of the maritime bases” in time for the fall of kismayu .
By Friday afternoon, KDF and Somali National Army had not suffered casualties, according to Col Oguna. The SNA has been fighting alongside the KDF in southern Somalia under the banner of Amisom.
“So far we have encountered minimal resistance. So the casualties on the side of Al-Shabaab are mainly due to airstrikes that are ongoing as the ground troops advance towards kismayu ’s CBD (Central Business District) from the port,” said Col Oguna.
He said the attack was given a codename because it was the ultimate prize in Sector 2, the area assigned to KDF by Amisom.
“The major operation in Sector 2 was kismayu,” said Col Oguna.
“Removal of Al-Shabaab would signal the complete destruction of its control of all the financial and logistical operations.
“We needed a hammer to accomplish it; hence ‘Operation Sledge Hammer’. kismayu supported all other sectors, including 1, 3 and 4.”
Military headquarters in Nairobi described the operation thus in a post on its official Twitter account: “KDF and SNA undertook meticulous planning on the operation and executed it with utmost effectiveness never before seen in Africa.”
It said an “amphibious operation” was of the kind which are “complicated, delicate and highly dangerous to execute.”
Situation in kismayu ‘stable’
However, the Department of Defence (DoD) described the situation in kismayu as at 2pm on Friday as “stable” while advising residents “to stay calm and controlled”.
Besides arriving at the sea port, other military personnel, mainly drawn from Special Forces, an elite squad of KDF, landed at kismayu Airport and took control.
By Friday night, the troops were going on with the operation aimed at taking control of the whole of kismayu .
The airport was on Wednesday bombed by KAF fighter jets, destroying an Al-Shabaab armoury and warehouse.
The airstrikes were described by the DoD as “surgical operations,” because only specific targets were targeted and hit, including training camps, defence posts and other areas where the militias were concentrated.
KDF urged kismayu residents to keep off areas with large number of Al-Shabaab fighters to be safe from crossfire.
It also urged Al-Shabaab to lay down their arms, adding that Kenyans who had joined the terrorist group in Somalia would be granted amnesty after they surrender.
After the combined force of ground and naval forces struck the port, the majority of Al-Shabaab fighters fled.
“Some of them just melted into the community but we still expect some little resistance, which we are ready to neutralise,” said military spokesman Emmanuel Chirchir.
The KDF destroyed several technical vehicles left behind by the fleeing militants during the take-over, which is said to have lasted less than three hours, he added.
By daybreak, the Kenyan troops had taken control of most parts of the town.
“We have sufficient ground and naval forces in kismayu as we speak. We are controlling three quarters of the city,” he stated.
Friday’s operation had been preceded by an aerial bombardment of Al-Shabaab positions in kismayu which destroyed the militants’ armoury and a warehouse at kismayu Airport on Tuesday.
“At this point in time, we are not able to know casualty figures but we will be able to give you that information once we get it,” Col Oguna was quoted by a Somalia news channel as saying.

rvp2018:
We kicked them beyond Kismayu and installed a puppet gov in Somalia.They cannot control a single kenya area for a single day.At their best they were gorilla fighters using suicide bombers.We have made that nearly impossible with world class surveillance and intelligence.Right now the plan is to kick their arse beyond kismayu.They can never match Africa most disciplined and professional army.The army that help restore peace in places like Kosovo and Eastern Europe.One of most regarded UN peacekeepers.A lean well paid army of 20k.An Army that requires every officer to acquire a military degree.For a long time our criminal and intelligence service were Africa best.You cannot post nonsense online and fail to get picked.We have cameras everywhere in main cities.Our gov lead in asking google for cyber criminals..majority Nigeria.Our corrupt police force is pretty effective.They take the money and puncture your vest with lead.That is what Nigerians are discovering.Finding them in Nairobi now is like trying to find an alien...our coppers are no joke.

The stats that matter!

Yeap Kenya beat Nigeria in private Equities.South Africa has 39% followed by Kenya at 14%then Nigeria the giant mess trail at 12%. There are around 250 PEs with 300 offices in 27=countries of Sub Saharan Africa.We always beat Nigeria in number of PE deals. In 2017 according E&Y..coming 3rd after South Africa & Morocco.https://a.storyblok.com/f/43998/2500x2049/1717e18c5c/ai18_private-equity-funding-bracket-1.png

Where did KENYA soldiers participated in second Liberia war? see snapshot 1 and 2.

Did you see Kenya or UN flag among those who fought the war?

See those who participated in the war. Your general war general came after the party was OVER.

Does it work like in the case of mutual funds? ACTIS is founded by the British but anyone can drop their money in it!

They cashed out of Equity.This is not their money.This money they pick in London to invest in Africa.

A sea of humanity!

NairobiWalker:
Her Hypocrisy the Queen, yet you were justifying Nigerians living in this crap below? Wow, you just hit a new low..............FYI, your Nigerian brothers crowd in those houses so much we often wonder what poor people live like over there if your better off can come here and be comfortable living like that. Of all Africans, it is a Nigerian who's pretending to never be able to survive overcrowding. Lord have mercy.

Corruption?
Has any Kenyan denied graft practices in Kenya?

Let us please be mature!

But we had Kenyan soldiers there and a Kenyan commander !

Ibrahimanis:
Again tell me how Nigeria fail to contain the situation.

Mind you, UN force commanders are generally chosen from a country not participating in a particular peace mission.

Yet again facts that Nigerians want to brush under the rag!

Good I have caught you in your own trap look who is talking that they are enlightened. At first I thought u was somebody I cant reason with but you are just a dreamer which dream is big.

A mission that West African giants failed to contain.A general with no knowledge of West Africa political terrain had more successes than your men who also were in the peacekeeping mission!

Ibrahimanis:
Good of him! Now my question was "what did he show Nigerians"?

Here is what he did than what most could not do
. You can ask Brigadier Okonkwo his deputy of how the man did things!

Where can I get 300 dollars per annum rent in Nairobi? Can someone direct me!

tylann:
Your are an ignorant woman
Those places are not overcrowded and that is where your Nigerian brothers live ten per room now living ten per room is overcrowding
And in kenya rent is paid monthly not per annum

How much have we collected so far? How much did we get in 2017 ? We are still doing aerial mapping on all the minerals we have! We are yet to benefit much from the sector!

forgiveness:
1.6 billion dollars worth of raw gold.

And another $62b billion dollars worth of niobium in Kenya.


No wonder the government of Kenya is bold enough to borrow money from China.

No wonder, investors are trooping to chop natural resources money. Bhuhahahaha!

A significant portion of revenues should come from their generator sector! So we can add about a billion or two

rvp2018:
The 40B I gave them is their budget..which is not realistic like anything Nigeria.In reality their real budget that get funded and executed is not even 20B..maybe 15B tops..revenue of 13B plus maybe 2B of borrowing.Its a zoo until the next oil boom.Remittance keep families alive like Somalia.Oil keep gov running.You can imagine their banking sector is basically remittance plus oil.When they talk business..they arw talking igbo man opening a shop to sell cheap chinese electronics..petty informal trade..that is not taxable
