Yeah they have

Well,we apparently don't have a railway!

obaaderemi:
Ethiopia has a SGR that links it with the port of Djibouti. Ethiopia is poised for great things.

We've heard all this mentioned before.Kenya's tittle is here to stay with a projected 10 trillion shillings GDP by the end of this year.Get to know what they are paid in Ethiopia and then see the monsters that benefit from that country's cheap labour and electricity!

thats true, Kenya has a sophisticated economy, but on infrastructure, i think Ethiopia is leading Kenya on these race, power in Kenya is very expensive, its the most expensive in the region thereby stifling industrialization, Ethiopia will soon unveil the grand Renaissance dam further strengthening their position as the leading power producer in the region, again china is shifting most its labor intensive industry to Ethiopia, the entire Africa will soon buy stuff from china only to be shipped from Ethiopia, Ethiopia has a brighter future than all the east African economies

Not to mention the fact that Ethiopia has twice the size as population than Kenya and it's landlocked!

rvp2018:
You're writting nonsense as usual.

Nigeria economy - is not even 300B - if you need to see 270B economy - look at Algeria - both produce about the same size of oil per day and Algeria has lot more gas - and obviously Algeria has lot more manufacturing. Nigeria GDP cooked. Right from agriculture - they have no data to back their agricultural activities - I mean the quantities of yams or sorghum or rice they claim to produce. They seem to just do kamikaze surveys and extrapolate national figures. When their own agricluture minister was asked about their rice production figures - he quoted IndexiMulli

Ethiopia has not overtaken gdp in nominal gdp - maybe in PPP - and there is no projection it will overtake Kenya anytime soon. Ethiopia obviously has some promise if they open their economy - but they also face many serious ethnic risks - debt risks - and etc. Ethiopia is progressive nation and I hope it continues it reforms.

Kenya is on another level....has invested in human capital (education), is about to reap the benefits of demographic dividend, has well diversified economy and only way is up.

The meth effect can only get stronger!

cossano:
Nigerian economy is one of the largest informal economies in the world alongside Thailand, current credible sources put Nigerians nominal GDP at about 500b dollars, but in actual sense Nigerian economy is at 1trillion dollars. i don't know what people gain by denying the obvious, plus Kenya will never surpass the Ethiopian economy again, Ethiopia receives the largest share of FDI in the entire east African region coupled with their large population and consistent growth rates year in year out. remember Ethiopia doesn't suffer fluctuations in economic growth due to elections such as Kenya,and with the recent arrival of their reform minded prime minister in the the name of Abiy Ahmed and the normalization of ties with Eritrea, only sky is the limit for Ethiopia. Kenya from now onwards we will play second fiddle to Ethiopia until infinity due to the bad economic decisions from our economic gangsters masquerading as leaders. it suffice to say HAIL the new king in east Africa. ETHIOPIA

You are too dumb and slow to even benefit from whatever you've been given!

Kazikazi:
Very good analysis. I think its better for Kenyans to stop mentioning the word GDP,they have no room to grow further due to high debts.While resource rich Tanzania is just starting to unearth her massive minerals

Kenya Rugby!


Catch Amonde if you can! (Picture 3) #BeastMode

The team taken through their paces!

They don't have a caliphate in Kenya or capture towns,that's nothing close to running the show!

Problemkid1:
While alshabaab and Somalians are running the show of your capital. Shame on you

I guess they'll have to give investors huge incentives among many freebies so as to get them invest there.They should come up with a clear plan and focus on key areas they'll want to base their economy on.With such in place among many other enablers,investors confidence might shoot up a bit over good days to come in Angola's future! This might be the best times to invest,when someone is weak...you are bound to get many exemptions-talk of tax breaks,a relaxed and sound regulatory environment that is geared towards maximising investors confident/comfort and so forth.

rvp20182:
They should have done it before the mess...now who want to invest in such a climate when you could lose your hard currency to inflation...if not capital controls...even getting usd down there now is not easy...Angola is choking in foreign denominated debt .You invite people to the party when the house is on fire.

Boko Harram must be pissing themselves laughing seeing Nigeria there! Let's look at the reality,Boko Harram are running the show in Northern Nigeria.That's the reality!

Problemkid1:
Show us your weak military here let's see. Even top 10 you're not there. And you're still talking.

They are now on a massive diversification drive! They are welcoming everyone now to come and invest in their country,the dependancy on oil is now haunting them!

Kenya is set to pounce on opportunities Angola will offer!

Officials from Lesotho’s Ministry of Education and Training are in the country on an eight day benchmarking exercise of the newly introduced Competency Based Curriculum (CBC).

Speaking on Monday a t Jogoo House Nairobi, Head of Lesotho Delegation, Bertha. M. Seutloali said that this exercise would help them not only learn from Kenya as a country on the implementation of the new Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) but also improve their education system.

“Like Kenya we are also having a paradigm shift in education. We started these reforms in education in 2012.We were able to get a loan from the World Bank in 2016 which will enable us improve our institutions,” Seutloali said.

She added that absenteeism, high levels of dropout and repetition in their schools and also poor performance in all levels prompted them to seek to improve the education system.

“We identified 312 primary schools which we wish to improve. We are also willing to share our experiences with you so that you can learn from us too,” she added.

The Kenya Primary Education Development (PRIEDE) Project Coordinator, Martha Ekirapa commended the country for the competency based Learning and Policy sheet in terms of provision of textbooks.

“In terms of provision of textbooks to the learners, all our children now have textbooks in the ratio of 1:1 where each student has a textbook for himself/herself and our institution. PRIEDE has been given the responsibility of facilitating the distribution across the country,”Ekirapa said.

She stated that major presentations will be held at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) where both teams will engage positively.

“Since most of you want to see the impact the school improvement programme has had in the country, we shall take you to a field trip tomorrow. The trip will involve visiting two counties which are close to Nairobi; that is Kirinyaga and Embu so that you are able to see the impact of community involvement in school management,” she said.

According to Ekirapa, Lesotho is the fourth country benchmarking in the country after Malawi, Zambia and Somalia.The benchmarking will last till June 9.

No wonder Congo has been a failure with him(Kabila).He studied from the daft fellas(Tanzania). Tsishe with all the Kenya's blessings would do a great job than him I reckon!

Acadavah:
It was rwanda and Uganda who want to overthrow kabila until SADC countries include Tanzania interfere.
This is a pic of Kabila Tanzania National Service.( JKT) Kabila came to Tanzania with his father at 10yrs old left with 30yrs old.

Mauritania is not Kenya!

Kazikazi:
Don't complicate "stuffs".We Africans never drew our maps.These were done by your white masters.They did what pleased them.We adopted these maps and African union states agreed not to temper with pre independence boundaries. in case of Somalia vs Kenya,the colonial map says it all.

Its not that the somalia wants a new map.no.They want what was there since colonial times to remain. Mauritania have that kind of situation and agreed to be the same way the colonialists left them with.Have u seen cameroonia's boundaries? Or Nigeria's?

As if I have seen it all! Nigerian soldiers are seriously neglected!

As ever the per capita reveals all! Our 2019 def budget is 1.1 bn$
https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/economy/Africa-with-Sh109bn-military-budget/3946234-5093376-gl63s6z/index.html

Theirs was 1.6 bn$ for a 100k sailors,soldiers and airmen. [url]https://www.apnews.com/Business%20Wire/0232e8721dff40cfa3460d0b4e55dac0[/url]

The breakdown looks like this US example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_budget_of_the_United_States

Per capita we're spending 50k$ per soldier while Naij with 160k spends 10k$ per capita. You can see the difference in performance,welfare ,morale and effectiveness!

Guess which nations military enjoys this condition of barrack housing?

How can one law BE applicable to Kenya and not on the other nations? If the maritime boundary is the extension of the land boundary,then the status quo changes on all and this decision will open up a litany of cases.If the maritime boundary runs parallel to the equator then the status quo remains. I thought Hague was going to be felt in Kenya,well they did nothing...what of ICJ?

Kazikazi:
You are funny. U can't even understand a thing about those islands,yet u try to be an experts.

Let me help u.Pemba is Zanzibar. Don't mix up things.

The revenue is on the increase though.As of now,we are yet to default!

Marathoners are mastering the form of going beyond human limitations.It looks easy but it's pure torture when you run such kilometers ! Your body is screaming to stop but you just keep going! Terrific stuff!

kikuyu1:
There's a reason Naijjans would never understand as to why Kenyans,specifically Kales,Masaais and Kyukes always win distance races. Basically a cultural 'scarring' helps them absorb pain, a necessary skill in marathons when lactic acid build up in muscles makes you want to just sit down. Don't ask for a pic!

More and more division federalism will bring.Our safe bet is the new generation that isn't shy of tribal intermarriages and which is highly educated!

cossano:
let me tell you something, either you don't live in Kenya or you are feigning ignorance, Kenyan politics will never mature or be tolerant, we missed that train 50 years ago. corruption is rampant in the counties i agree but at least for the first time the turkanas are building there own infrastructure despite the corruption. before, did you ever heard of such projects there, the NFD region was neglected and forgotten land, but with devolution they are slowly emerging, before where were those monies going, if not the the private pockets of criminal kalenjin and kikuyu elites. they impoverish this country for 50 years, 50 years, thats why many Kenyan tribes demanded true federalism in the bomas draft except the kikuyu politicians who ganged up to water it down, mark my words, Kenya will get federalism. its only a matter of time

These houses are ugly! Grey structures all over! No greenery!

popizaino:
Keep your stupidity away from my mention and to even think you called it a posh estate because you reside there makes you a special kind of idiot.Nigeria too on the other hand is a developed country because I live here at least you don't have the monopoly of joking around.only a caveman from turkana will take nyayo as a posh estate. In Nigeria, its no difference from the social houses provided by the airforce for the internal displace citizens. See pictures below

South Americans do carnivals better! The girls aren't that beautiful!

obaaderemi:
I would rather be at Calabar Carnival. It's closer home and why should I take my foreign exchange out instead of putting it in the local economy? The weather at calabar in February during that carnival is excellent, the girls are hot and there is the breath taking Obudu Cattle Ranch thrown in for good measure. Besides, it's the biggest and most glamorous of its kind in Africa.

No wonder they didn't want to sign the Africa free trade pact!

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Nigerian economy fragmenting from all corners. For other countries to move forward and four other African countries to go forward Nigeria must the beat or the sacrificial lamb. The destruction of Nigeria repeat the prosperity of Africa. What's the Nigerian people are destroyed African will move forward 80% of Africa's problem will be solved here and then. The only place you will find Nigerians is in the museum next to the extinct species like woolly mammoths and dinosaurs.

1500 MW in a country of 180-200m? Shocking stats really!

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
Power generation drops to 1500 megawatt in Nigeria very soon Somali and will generate more electricity than Nigeria. I just got the latest Sunday punch from a Nigerian which leaves 200m from my house
