A few lessons to my Nigerian brodas out there, the easiest way to resuscitate your Oil dependent economy is by first strengthening local brands and consumerism led economy. The bigger the purchasing power of the ordinary Nigerian the better for the local brands and institutions. For example the Kenyan economy took a big turn around by patronizing local products right from basic commodities, banking institutions, horticulture products, agricultural food crop and manufactured goods.

68816419:Hahahahahaha Your intellectual processing of things proves that you got nothing in between your ears. How can Nigerias 99% of oil be concession-ed to foreign multi-national companies that actually represent 95% of your total GDP!!! https://www.stratfor.com/the-hub/nigeria-and-multinationals Originally published in Financial Nigeria magazine, September 2013 edition. Nigeria receives the largest amount of foreign direct investment in Africa. Indeed, it is among the top twenty of such recipients world-wide. The major foreign investors in Nigeria are the big multinationals; those international conglomerates that are essentially anti-nation-state in outlook, and who prefer to see the world as a single economic unit. The objective of multinational activity is to transcend the nation-state and even in the process, some of them, like the big oil-companies, have become today's multi-states. Some of these multinational companies are actually bigger in economic size than Nigeria. The activities of these multinationals in Nigeria have primarily been in the oil and gas sectors, but they are also increasingly involved in trade, banking and insurance among others. Their involvement in the manufacturing sector has been limited. Nevertheless, there is need for appraisal and reappraisal of the cost-benefits of multinational activity in Nigeria. 3 Likes |

naijalander:What is the need of having "big" airports that are inefficient and extremely inhospitable. Here is an experts opinion on such airports 5 Worst Airports in Africa 2015 If you are thinking of travel that requires a stopover at one of the following airports, you may want to think again and rather pay good money to stay at a hotel. These airports seem to be embroiled in corruption, crowds, chaos, confusion and a total lack of cleanliness. Amenities across the board are decidedly scarce, if not entirely non-existent, and much of the architecture in these airports verges on decrepit. Make sure you arrive at these airport terminals equipped with your own snacks, your own entertainment, lots of patience and definitely a sense of humour. These airports are the stuff books are written about and horror movies are made of. 1.Port Harcourt International Airport, Nigeria (PHC) 2.Khartoum International Airport, Sudan (KRT) 3.Kinshasa N’djili International Airport, Democratic Republic of the Congo (FIH) 4.Juba International Airport, South Sudan (JUB) 5.Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport, Djibouti (JIB) http://www.atmmag.net/africas-best-worst-airports/ |

iblawi:NIGERIAS POOR AVIATION SAFETY RECORD AVIATION: Nigeria's record of 'systemic failure' — FT.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigeria_Airways Nigeria Airways Ltd., more commonly known as Nigeria Airways, was a Nigerian airline. Plagued by mis-management, corruption, and overstaffing, at the time of closure the airline had debts of more than US$60,000,000 (equivalent to $77,311,867 in 2015), a poor safety record, and its operative fleet comprised a single aircraft flying domestic routes as well as two leased aircraft operating the international network. It was succeeded by Virgin Nigeria. At the time of dissolution, the company's headquarters were at Airways House, located in Abuja. Nick Fadugba, publisher of one of the world’s most authoritative aviation magazine. Asked on why has the aviation industry in Nigeria in general been backward?He said the most pressing issue facing the Nigerian aviation industry today is safety. We lag far behind the rest of the world in aviation safety; efforts are being made by African governments and aviation bodies to enhance safety on the African continent, but the fact is that we still lag far behind. I am pleased, however, that following the conference in Abuja recently, African countries, including the African Union, committed themselves to improving aviation safety.

MPSA:Very true.... most Nigerians believe the bigger the structure or fancy aspects then it is efficient. As we all know Nigeria has one of the worst maintenance culture in Africa, let alone the inefficiency & ineptness of its authorities. Huge airport structures with corrupt immigration staff that manhandle travelers at airport launches doesn't make Nigeria look good in our eyes. Huge bridges but full of toll stations & traffic gridlock means nothing if it doesn't improve mobility within your cities. The reason why the initial post was put up by an actual Nigerian is reason enough to prove to fellow Nigerians that their country is lagging in many aspects. |

allcomage:Most Nigerians that have had the privilege of visiting Kenya can bare witness to the social economic aspect of the diversity that Kenya offers. Nigeria has a far bigger consumer power compared to Kenya but the diversity in the East African country is beyond reproach. The argument on the this thread was the fact that Kenya is making strides in very major infrastructural aspects that have far reaching economic impact on its economic growth. For the past 15yrs Kenya has had a 5-6% growth rate in contrast to Nigeria. The Kenyan GDP despite being 30 times lower than Nigeria's oil driven economy it has managed to construct major infrastructure that directly impact the normal populace. If the country will projectile beyond 5% growth then rest assured that it will surpass a few Asian tigers in the near future. |

iblawi:BIGGEST AND BUSIEST PORTS IN AFRICA http://www.portsevolution.com/news/item/africa-s-biggest-shipping-ports 1.Durban, South Africa Port of Durban as popularly known is Africa’s most active general cargo port. It is situated a block away from Durban’s central business district and plays a key role in S.A’s economy. Being Africa’s largest container port, it handles most of the seagoing traffic in comparison to the other ports in South Africa. This port welcomes about 4,500 vessels yearly and about 8,3000 containers per month, it conducts trade worth over $45billion.According to the Port Management Association of Eastern and Southern Africa, it handled about 44.8 million tonnes of cargo of cargo in 2013-2014. 2. Mombasa, Kenya Port Mombasa, often referred to as “the city of merchants” dates back to the times of Portuguese exploration, it has been and remains a busy trading post for the region which could be attributed to its strategic location between South Africa and the Gulf of Aden. It is a key gateway to East and Central Africa. It provides a direct link to about 80 ports worldwide and a railway line runs therefrom to Uganda and Tanzania. With 18,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (teu) and a container capacity of about 250,000 teu per year, Mombasa Port now handles about double this volume. The teu is an inexact unit of cargo capacity used to describe the capacity of container ships and container terminals. It is based on the volume of a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) intermodal container. 3.Djibouti Djibouti’s ports are crucial to its geo-strategic importance both in military and economic terms. They serve as a passage for Ethiopian trade and a platform for the transhipment of goods. This involves the outflow of container and bulk cargo from larger vessels to be redistributed to East Africa and Arabian ports. It provides a secure regional hub for transhipment and relay of goods. China is also directly involved in the Port of Djibouti through the state-owned China Merchants Group. Their interest in Djibouti goes beyond the benefits of being involved in East African regional trade rather Djibouti’s position as the only reliable port along the main shipping lanes between Europe and the Gulf and also between Asia and the eastern coast of Africa is essential. 2 Likes 1 Share |

iblawi:AIR TRANSPORT NIGERIA- Population-173m Nigeria’s principal airports are Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. Three other international airports are Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano, Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu and Port Harcourt International Airport in Port Harcourt. Overall, Nigeria’s airports, whether international or regional, suffer from a poor reputation for operational efficiency and safety. Private domestic air carriers began to win business at the expense of Nigeria Airways, the former government-owned national airline which was declared bankrupt in 2004. The national flag carrier of Nigeria was Air Nigeria, in which Virgin Atlantic owns 49% and the remaining 51% by Nigerian investors until Virgin withdrew from the partnership on September 18, 2009. The national flag carrier then became Air Nigeria which suspended operations in 2012. Arik Air is now a large airline serving Nigeria and has transported over 10 million passengers. KENYA- Population-44m Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, is Kenya's largest airport and serves the most destinations. Some international flights go to Moi International Airport in Mombasa. Kisumu Airport was upgraded to an international airport in 2011 and a second phase of expansion is under way. In 2012, US Navy Seebees built a major new tarmac runway at Wajir Airport that can take heavy aircraft. Kenya Airways Ltd., more commonly known as Kenya Airways, is the flag carrier of Kenya.[4] The company was founded in 1977, after the dissolution of East African Airways. The carrier's head office is located in Embakasi, Nairobi,[5] with its hub at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.[6] The airline was wholly owned by the Government of Kenya until April 1995, and it was privatised in 1996, becoming the first African flag carrier to successfully do so.[7] Kenya Airways is currently a public-private partnership. The largest shareholder is the Government of Kenya (29.8.%), followed by KLM, which has a 26.73% stake in the company. The rest of the shares are held by private owners; shares are traded on the Nairobi Stock Exchange, the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange, and the Uganda Securities Exchange.[7][8] Kenya Airways is considered one of the leading Sub-Saharan operators;[9] as of January 2013 and was ranked fourth among the top ten African airlines by seat capacity, behind South African Airways, Ethiopian Airlines and EgyptAir.[10] The airline became a full member of SkyTeam in June 2010, and is also a member of the African Airlines Association since 1977. They have local domestic flights which include Jetlink, Fly540, KQ and Jambo jet. Conclusions: Kenya has a more vibrant air transport with 1 international carrier and 4 domestic carriers serving a population of 44m. Kenya airspace enjoys different flight carriers from other reputable airlines. Nigeria lags behind in Air transport KENYA WINS AGAIN. 4 Likes 1 Share |

iblawi:NIGERIA- 3,984 kilometers of track Railways in Nigeria are operated by the Nigerian Railway Corporation. Nigeria's rail system has 3,984 kilometers of track, most of which is Cape gauge. The country has two major rail lines: a western line that connects Lagos to Nguru, and an eastern line that connects Port Harcourt to Maiduguri. The Lagos–Kano Standard Gauge Railway is being built in segments to replace the western Cape gauge line. KENYA- 2,066 metre gauge kilometers of track & Standard gauge 800 kilometers of track Kenya boasts of two railway tracks, the old and the new modern SGR standard gauge Railway line which is 90% complete. Kenya-Uganda railway- The former Uganda Railway, was run by the company East African Railways. It jointly served the present countries of Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya. Since the dissolution of the EAR corporation in 1977, the national company Kenya Railways Corporation runs the former Uganda Railway and its branches in Kenya. The most important line in the country runs between the port of Mombasa and Nairobi, sleeping car accommodation is offered for tourists. In 2006, the Rift Valley Railways Consortium led by South African companies took over the operation of the Kenyan and Ugandan railway network on a contract lasting 25 years, with the opportunity of renewal. After criticism from the Kenya Railways Corporation, RVR doubled the frequency of service, and also imposed restrictions to reduce train derailments caused by the ageing infrastructure.[5] RVR run passenger trains within Kenya only, primarily from Nairobi to Mombasa but also to local towns such as Kisumu. Passenger services on these lines are offered on peak periods only. Freight services are the bulk of RVR's operations. In 2008, agreements were made with Uganda about gauge standardisation. The Mombasa-Nairobi SGR is the biggest infrastructure project in Kenya since independence. It will shorten the passenger travel time from Mombasa to Nairobi from more than ten hours to a little more than four hours. Freight trains will complete the journey in less than eight hours.The Class 1 line will have a superior design catering to robust and low-maintenance requirement. The new line will run parallel to the existing meter gauge railway and the Mombasa-Nairobi Road or A109 Highway for the most part. It will deviate at certain points to attain the desired gradient and curvature.The freight terminals will be located at the Mombasa port and the Inland Container Depots at Embakasi in Nairobi. The railway line is designed to carry 22 million tonnes a year of cargo or a projected 40% of Mombasa Port throughput by 2035. CONCLUSION- Kenya has a far superior train system compared to the length of the total kilometers of both rail systems. Kenya cant stop winning in this variables. 6 Likes |
