We are a country that values long distance driving. On that you need a beast with a tank capacity of not less than 90 litres. Not forgetting you can't just use any type of car when driving inside national parks or reserves or when patrolling arid and militia infested areas bordering South Sudan, Southern Ethiopia and Somalia !

You also go for durability or capability when buying a car!

samorobo:
Yes that is because of the nature of your roads..it is so rugged

If you want to go to the desert, take a four wheel drive and if you want to come back ,take the defender!

Cheap might mean crap!

Abohboy:
And they said Innoson cannot make off road drive it is freaking Africa you have to do that here is one of the old ones from 2016 and just so you know th ey have started to export to Mali and Niger added to that they are opening two new factories one in Lagos and another in Enugu will open in 2022 to increase output employment
And make the cars cheaper

No wonder the first new generation land rover defenders were tasted in Kenya.

Mkenya2019:
Like SmillinnSuffering says these guys are just illiterate. You see someone using public money to buy police/army/prisons crap like IVM - chinese knock-down - and they fill a stadium to celebrate - ululating about 'Obiona' or some idiotic governor . There was a time China donated their crappy vehicle to kenya police - I don't see a single one on the road. You can still see Land Rover sold to kenya police in 1960s.

Now this is a dream off -road car for Africa - Land Cruise 70 series is a pure beast. Now our police get brand new cars every year and Toyota sell them to market after 3yrs - if you have get one - just buy it.

Few vehicles have a heritage and reputation that matches that of the Toyota LandCruiser 70. It’s been the go-to vehicle for the toughest of jobs for 35 years and still going strong. You don’t drive it for its comfort, high-tech options or performance, but for its functionality, capability and the fact that it won’t stop for anything.

I still see some senior police & prov admin (DOS) with the legendary Land Rover Defender - only downside it's damn expensive.

Kenya

Mama Ngina waterfront taking shape

Mombasa City

The thread has the name Kenya on it. They started the thread. They are obsessed with us, I've seen threads about Nairobi being beautiful as early as when I was still in highschool. They were busy discussing us

gallivant:
If it's not a big deal why did you tag Kenyans on your post? Don't start something you can't finish Mr proforce ARA!

Sam,are you angry?

samorobo:
Shut up . I am not even using opera mini..and even if I was, is it not a browser? Is it not meant to be used?

mtisTheQubit:

No comment but I like to take ths opportunity an wish the owner of ths beautiful machine a happy ride day..

The 3G Opera Mini guy won't get it!

gallivant:
You can't compare apples and oranges.

Here is our unemployment data. It's becoming boring now.

samorobo:
That is because you are not a resource based economy so the US- China trade war coupled with the brevity deal has little effect on you....

But what I can't seem to understand is how an economy growing at 5.6% will be experiencing rising unemployment rate (about 40% . Hakuna kazi ) , a diwindling real estate sector, companies packing up and laying off workers amongst other thing going on there...


Hmmmm Hakuna kazi

Massive!

Olkaria 4 done and dusted

It was full and up on running by 4th October. More than 160 MW of clean power injected into the grid as shown on the monitor screen below.

The next project is Menengai. Rebecca the Female KENGEN CEO is truly heaven sent. Brilliant woman!

Thank God you can edit your posts

You were relishing Nigeria not being an LDC, well... it's not that big of a deal.

samorobo:
You were implying that I called nigeria a develop nation and I simply cleared you on that if you were getting me wrong.......being an LDC is retrogression and stay out of it is commendable but that not to say I was hyping that .....

It's just that you are out of words , that is why you force/ project your shiit on me......

World Economic Forum report

Global competitiveness index ranking

Nigeria and Tanzania just close to each other in the ranking,in that order

Spotted just near your hood
MtisTheQubit is it yours? The one that you talked about the other day?

We've been posting a more than five percent increase in GDP growth despite the global economic slump. We've been resilient. We're yet to taste a recession, I can't tell how a recession feels!

samorobo:
Okay so tell me what your fdi have done (with your high ease of doing business) , so we can move back to what I was saying.....

Not being an LDC is not really an achievement. We're not an LDC too.

samorobo:
I never said Nigeria is a developed nation but rather I state that it is regarded as a developing nation in Africa but not a LDC.....

WHEN I developed I never meant China...sorry if you got the wrong vibe ....it was simply meant for America and Qatar......
China still has a long way to go despite her economic progress

Sam, you never sounded this much defenceless?

samorobo:
Oga you were shifting goal post...I gave you mine first which you were expected to prove me wrong on if you thought I was telling a lie

Cool!

TayserMahri:
Launch of Nairobi Expressway construction, same day

I've seen it on twitter and it is so bad. RIP to the victims!

SUFFERInSMILIIN:

AS Roma serenading Kenyans with a Swahili Twitter account. It seems they have a pidgin one as well. Brilliant brand marketing!

I just gave you a tonne of indicators debunking all you have been saying about Kenya

samorobo:
Nah except that you were practically shifting goal post

Prove it.I don't think China is classified as developed nation yet regardless of their impressive numbers. It's obvious that you are uneducated!

And when did Nigeria become a developed nation?

samorobo:
They are all developed nation which I used in citing an example whilst Africa is a continent filled with developing nation ....And last I checked Nigeria is largely regarded a a developing nation not LDC

Why don't you prove me wrong instead of looking at my wordings?

You cannot be these much petty? Kenya is doing good in PE investment deals,that's the point!

samorobo:
The fact that you think(@bolded) show that uncertainty which vividly reveals that you don't even believe you shiit... It is pretty obvious you this things to feel better, feel progressing and neglect what is on ground hence you living in denial.

As for our economy, economies grows and drops . And sometimes growth just remains stably high or stably low....the rest things you said about fdi is just yet another lie...oh no scratch that ....it is just a myth

.

What's your literacy rate ? I'm trying to see something

Logobenz0:
This fool is typing from his skull just typing lots of jagons I don't even understand one single thing here sef see who's calling Nigeria Illiterate. Chaiii God, nothing Musa no go see for gate you're the biggest Illiterate on Earth. The largest Illiterate on Earth all you need to do is to just shut up and post your useless shitthol country

I think we are one of Africa's success stories in private equities.

Most of the FDI's going into the mining sector in Africa are just phantom FDI's that do little to the economy.

Why are you struggling to quote an economic growth of more than 3 Percent with those huge FDIs?

samorobo:
And with your so called success story why do do still generate a tiny fdi...business should be booming with investor fighting to establish a foothold there

A light argument!

samorobo:
The bolded is just you being a good student by ripping a page off one of those rvp deluded jealousy driven topics....

95% of what I wrote focused on kenya but yes you quickly ignored it and made it about nigeria ....I am not denying that our budget is too small but rather I am simply trying to understand where you decent and yet perfect tax and budget been going into cause obviously we do not see it in your infastructure rather we keep hearing news about another loan waiting to be collected every month.. and the funny things is that you don't pay and your debt are never forgiven so it just keeps piling and taking one step closer to NEOCOLONIALISM

We do not pay tax down here so there is amost no revenue generated

All of those countries you have mentioned are actually doing great no matter where they will stand in different rankings.

What of Nigeria?

samorobo:
Don't ignore what I originally told you......in most of those stat smaller countries like Singapore, Kuwait will do better than the almighty America and make China look out of the league..so you argue with fact and stop grasping at straws

Sad!

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
In fact it is getting a lot worse Nigeria is not even a country to begin with. We are going to 2020 and they are still slave camps in Nigeria

Cut the bullcrap, the facts remain as they are!

samorobo:
Don't ignore what I originally told you......in most of those stat smaller countries like Singapore, Kuwait will do better than the almighty America and make China look out of the league..so you argue with fact and stop grasping at straws

Argue with these facts!

samorobo:
You focus on national budget but fail to understand that each 36 states have their own budget..

Yes our budget is small because we don't pay tax. Our tax to GDP is probably one of the lowest in the world... We are glad that by next year tax will be aggressively collected with the new law and implementation put in place which is expected to kick off in 2020...

Buy my question is this...you that collect tax and supposedly have a decent budget

what is the state of your infastructure?

Is your tax money not suppose to reflect in your infastructure? SA that collect decent tax we see it in her infastructure but In Your case it is lacking

Why borrow aggressively to fund every little project as though not even a cent is regularly been collected from you?

What is the essence of paying tax and having a supposedly decent budget when your paved road network still remains mockingly at 7% since independence (over 56 years) with about 4% of that 7% in bad condition? (Honestly I can't imagine what you people are going through. Road must be hell over there with so many bare soil that has never taste bitumen)

What is the essence of paying tax and having a decent budget that funds Kenyatta and his cohorts luxurious trip to Namibia, Carribbean, Emirates, Asia just for holiday?

What is the essence of paying tax and having a supposedly decent budget when it is constantly been looted aggressively?...


Let me just stop here cause the list is endless
