It is not our fault that

Nairobi to Mombasa road have so many killer potholes on it.

You have a smooth ride from Accra to Kumasi without bumping into a pothole.
Secondly, the road to Kumasi is a 4 lane dual carriageway.

rvp20182:
Just look at road trip from Lagos to Onitsha. It like a hell-hole. I saw one from Accra to Kumasi or Takoradi - and it was such a nightmare.

Here is the nightmarish Accra to Kumasi road - connecting two most important shanty towns of Ghana - I think we need to reserve the Slumpolis for Nigeria cities like Lagos, Ibadan, and Abeokuta.

The biggest highway in Kenya is just 2 lane single carriageway to Mombasa.
This is such a shame.

Drill as much oil and gas as you want, in macro economics you will remain small fish. Just like Mauritania, Liberia, Gambia and other small shitholes surviving on hydrocarbons.

too bad all those countries you mentioned are better off than Kenyans

Kenya will forever remain in the league with Somalia

develop first

then we can compare
For now, you are underdeveloped.

gallivant:
Small fish, bottom of the food chain.

gallivant:
Ghana is a small fish. The sooner you understand the sooner you will get out of the pond for safety. How bad can Accra be that you won't post it here?

another attention seeker from the poverty capital

seeking attention again


go get your people in an economic position where they will be able to compare themselves to Ghanaians else they will keep living in the slumpolis of Nairobi and Mombasa

Enjoy the views
see how the houses are big

Austine1212:

gallivant:
For a cheapskate.

cheap shot

gallivant:
Kwere^2.

no

Austine1212:
Do i have to show buildings one by one?

Nah lol

that is like 1100 barrels a day

is it a water well?

Danielnino00:
They intend to export 400,000 barrels this year according to their government ..

Those bastards don't know how to do business..


But u can't blame them...they are still new in the game

gallivant:
Ghana exported less than $14 million worth of oil and gas in 2019? Are you dumb?

[/s]

he is overclocking his graphics card

wait small

Austine1212:
What is tourism according to you?

samorobo:
Lol it's called the power of imagination

rvp20182:
You should consider writing fiction.

nice

your innuendoes will always be busted

Danielnino00:
That's over a billion shillings..



But those lying bastards will tell you that they have no mineral resources..

Lol...

so Kenya exported more oil than Ghana and yet earn way less than Ghana.

rvp20182:
So you see our beautiful cities and you think tourism is all we do. My friend kenya economy is simple 25% is agriculture. Manufacturing 10%. Financial and Intermediation 10%. Real estate and construction 10%. Transport and comm 10%. Retail and Wholesaling 10%. Energy 10%. That is already 85%. The rest share the remainder..with tourism account for 1.5%...we get total earnings of 1.5B dollars. Last year tourism earnings were 1.6B in 100B economy (roughly) - so 1.5%!!

useless comment as usual

Tourism is responsible for 10% of all Kenya employment
1.5 million people

That is a cascading effect of loss of employment on your economy.

All the sectors you mentioned
transport, real estate and construction thrives because of tourism and they were busy contracting last year.

Danielnino00:
They can still make do with aid from China

China is rolling back on Belt and roads

They are not in the best of situation to give aid.

They can only give food aid and loans

rvp20182:
Yes of course, we want kenya to become middle income country. South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Mauritus - those are good examples. But GHANA come on dude.

Before you can become a middle income country like them
You first have to catch up with Ghana .

By early next year, Ghana Nominal GDP per cap will be 3,000 dollars and PPP per cap between 9,000 - 10,000 dollars.

rvp20182:
So they didn't devalue because they want their exports to be cheap. The rand collapse has everything to do with a sick economy. Minning down. Capital flight. Name it.

If you want to know if an economy is doing good or bad - just watch USD VERSUS THAT COUNTRY CURRENCY RATE.

USD NEVER LIES.

The rand did not collapse

it was a controlled devaluation and this is dont to keep the competitive edge.

As more companies choose Africa as their next money making market, SA needs to keep that attractive competitive advantage that it has over all of Africa. This is the best time to do it, just so they dont loose investor confidence

SA mining capacity is not down.

The rate at which Trump is pulling monies out of various NGOs

They wont get enough aid, so more debt

Danielnino00:
They will have to make do with tea, flower and more aid for the time being

rvp20182:
Tourism is only 1% or less of our economy. And 50% of it is domestic. As sector include many other things - I think 7% of the economy.

Tourism makes up 30% to 40% of your economy and 80% of the money earn comes from foreign tourist.

He badly want Kenya to be on the level of SA



He doesn't know that it doesn't take the kind of laziness of Kenya running a huge trade surplus to be SA

Austine1212:
Why are do you envy SA so much?

Why the need for you to mention it for you to look smart?

Why would they devalue like Chinese ?

all economic needs are different and no two economies is the same.

The mine in SA is less productive and that is why AGA is leaving SA.

rvp20182:
Except they didn't devalue like Chinese. It's was a free fall as a result of capital flight. As you noted - even Anglogold Ashanti are running away to London.

rvp20182:
We will be fine..1-2% - and our tourism is long haul travels - it is not meant for people who lose their jobs - because even air fare alone to Nairobi from Europe or US is a lot of money.

Exactly why your economy will take 4 years to recover

The people who will come as tourist have lost their jobs

Danielnino00:
The oil you exported last year fell from heaven??

im not interested with alliance

just stating facts

South Africa is a trade surplus nation that is heavily self-reliant

A devaluation of their Rand is in their own best interest.
It makes local manufacturing cheaper and makes their exports more competitive.

rvp20182:
You're really trying to build alliance hobbit. South Africa rand is the best indicator of their economy.

rvp20182:
Kenya is expected to grow by 1-2% this year and 6% next year - but COVID-19 is fluid situation. Nigeria is back to recession lasting years. Yours is double if not a triple whammy. COVID-19, Oil, and Buhari.

Kenya will not even grow by 2% next year because debt repayment will bite hard

and Tourism will not recover for the next 4 years because 25% - 30% of the developed world workforce have lost their jobs.

The kind of people who take vacations in Kenya.

will you stop assuming again

South Africa has already placed all the pieces in place to recover.
They were doing that before COVID arrived hence they werent caught pants down like Kenya

rvp20182:
If we are doing 1% - South Africa will do -10% - if we take 4yrs to recover - they will take 8yrs. Their economy is seeking,.

its the order of the day



they say, Kikuyus are fvking lazy drunkards

samorobo:
I feel like foolishness in Kenya is preponderant over common sense..

samorobo:
If Nigeria ever experience a contraction this year we are expected to be on the recovery part come 2021 according to Fitch ratings..

Btw the bolded got me lamughing hard

It got you laughing because

just listening to rvp2018 will make you think you've been teleported to Mars where all reasonable reasoning escape the pod
