Nope. I got it right that Ruto would win but I missed how tight it was going to be. That was Charles Hornsby who has truly outstanding knowledge of kenya politics. I overestimated Ruto gains in Kakamega, Matusa and Coast...these people after voting for Raila for donkey years though they'd give him a final push. They failed again! What miscalculation.

I definitely got - mt kenya/RV and some places absolutely right.

Anyway I will do postmorteum and post here - but so far I lost to Charles Hornsby

http://www.charleshornsby.com/kenya-blog

There were no shocks for me. Rmbr me saying Ruto had improved his Coast numbers? He took Kwale gov and while Hassan Omar won't beat Nassir in Mombasa he'll still make a decent fight of the race. The surprise for me was Ukambani: my own analysis and 3 or 4 Kaos own individual observations had assured me they were tired of Musyoka's journey to nowhere as RAO's shadow perpetually following him on endless tours and trips to nowhere. Also recall when he backed down yet again for RAO? I was expecting ruto to do 40%-it wasn't even 30%!?

Suppliers refuse to fuel Russian Antonov

A giant Antonov AN124 cargo plane registered in Russia was stranded at OR Tambo International Airport this week after the fuel suppliers there refused to fill it up for the flight back to that country.

I've noticed many Saffas support the J/Ukes wholeheartedly despite the 8 yr arty strikes on the Donbass and 14k KIA and the endless provocations of Zelensky and his crew.
Why?
I've my own suspicions BUT pls expound.

In other news things get even worse for the J/Ukes for whom I have ZERO fks.

Russia said its strikes on the central Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia targeted a Ukrainian military meeting, as rescuers on the ground continued to search for survivors from the attack that killed at least 23 civilians.

https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/07/15/russia-says-vinnytsia-strike-targeted-ukraine-military-meeting-a78310

The Russian Defense Ministry said Friday that it was targeting a meeting between Ukrainian air force officials and foreign arms suppliers in Vinnytsia’s House of Officers, a building locals say is used for cultural and social events.

Even the Je-,sorry NYT admits it was a valid target.

The missiles hit a military officers’ club, a potential target, though one in a densely built-up central neighborhood of the city.

Seriously! The entire post is a perfect example! You go on and on and on repeating the most childlike assertions with complete confidence but say NOTHING of substance. Come with facts and figures we can discuss as adults! Smth like this earlier post I had on random per capita defense expenditure:



Those comparisons are from OSI,ie ,the 'net. We and Saffas outspend you nearly 4x as does PNG. Fyi,one of the first things young niggas learn is don't ishyt talk people,especially those you don't know . The way you show constant contempt for those who don't slavishly agree with your POV reveals that you overestimate yourself, a recipe for endless drama and complications in life.

Back to the facts. While I've seen pix of new barracks housing it seems many if not most bases have a srs housing issue.

https://africacenter.org/publication/obstacles-military-professionalism/

This situation indicates a very very real budgetary shortfall.

I wasn't far from Pakistan defence expenditure per capita estimate!

This is their own figure:

[

b]On average, Pakistan spends $13,400 per soldier, India $42,000[/b], Saudi Arabia $371,000, Iran $23,000 while the United States allocates $392,000 per soldier annually. The difference, however, between Pakistan and other countries is that the size of their economies is far bigger than Pakistan.

[url][https://tribune.com.pk/story/2360953/rs152tr-allocated-for-defence-spendingurl]

[b]That, people is why they'll NEVER defeat India! [/b]It also shows how defence spend per soldier/sailor/airman is more accurate than the unadjusted gross total in comparing forces.

This 15 mn vid is 10 yrs old but worth a watch. Ideas of violence and it's prevention are discussed- without dogma or illogical doctrines by someone who actually knows his ishyt.

rvp2018:
Raila politics revolve around violence - and since he has resisted retirement - for long - kenya politics has become violent - once we retire him in a month - kenya politics will become peaceful again. The people that will feel impact of peace are his Luo people who are under 30yr siege where opposing Raila is met with gang violence and almost ex-communication.

Jaramogi his father was a very peaceful man.

This is an except of Raila long history of violence - that starts in 1960s - many attempted coups in 70s and 80s - ended up in prison for almost a decade - came back - we saw great violence in street of kisumu and then it shifted to Kibera. I remember in early 1990s - Kibra then led by a white man - saw great violence for 1st time as he shifted base from Kisumu to Nairobi - and the violence has continued in Nairobi slums since then.

By Opiyo Gordon.
You all saw the stoning. You all saw the violence. This is not propaganda cooked by anyone. This is reality.
This is why I hate Raila with pure unadulterated hatred.
Using young men to create havoc and then pretend to be "savior".
In October 1969, just a few months after he came from East Germany, he organized a group of young men in Kisumu to stone the motorcade of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. Jaramogi had no idea what his son was planning. And after the harsh trading of words Jaramogi thought things would end there. But his son had organised some "small discipline for Mzee Kenyatta" and several people lost their lives. The exact number may never be known. Some say 200 people died that day. Others say 100.
In 1982 he cheated several Luo soldiers in the Kenya Airforce to stage a coup lying to them that he had backup from Tanzania. Of course there was nothing of the sort. This led to hundreds dying. And in his usual style Raila betrayed the soldiers and Gallant Snr Private Ochuka was hanged as the cowardly betrayer bought his freedom. From 1982 to 2002, Luos suffered open discrimination after the aborted Coup. Raila effectively ended plans by Moi to bring Luos to the mainstream Government. The impact of the marginalization is seen in the population of Luos in Slums....
You know what happened in all elections that the cowardly betrayer lost..... No need to repeat.
And today, the stoning of the DP was just a continuation of what has been going on for decades. His intention was for the Security detail of the DP to shoot in self defense, and cause bloodshed. So that he gets enough blood to activate his evil altars.
But the DP, was wise and ordered every one not to retaliate.
Such actions may excite the short sighted people. But they are extremely dangerous. You cannot openly and violently attack the leading Presidential candidates and walk away like that.
Had anything happened to Ruto, do you think that we would be at peace?
My only hope is that in 50 days, this Era of bloodshed will be over. President Ruto should never think about any handshake with Raila after defeating him on 9th.
To us in Luo Nyanza, who are under the bondage of this wicked ruler, we are praying for the 50 days ziende haraka. We can't wait to see and taste freedom.....

RAO was already drowning in irrelevance til Wanjohi revived him. Less than 45 days til he's but a distant memory and a running joke in our political history.

obaaderemi:
And I ask you why there are no Indians living in kibera.
Explain how an Indian is the richest kenyan.
And as you know the biggest businessmen in Nigeria remain black Nigerians, not Lebanese. Of course, Lebanese like other people come to Nigeria and make money just like Ghanaians and ivorians and South Africans can do. But they won't and can't be the biggest businessmen in Nigeria.

And you especially don't strike. me as an adult of reasonable intelligence.

Northern Nigeria is more developed than the whole of Kenya save for Nairobi. You can imagine the level of insult we have to endure everyday when citizen from this backwater zoo with barely any infrastructure wake up to compare after cherry-picking a few road.this entire zoo need serious infrastructural reforms. I repeat Nigeria is not on this level,maybe 3 decades ago we where here. We keep quiet a lot and take their stupid shiit.

Spot on as usual, old boy Kikuyu!
You just described little Indians precisely.
There is this quirk in your character that always pushes to want to compare yourselves to others to the point of not having peace till you do. Low self esteem.

I NEVER asked you for my character assessment! I asked you twice about Miziara, the N Lebanese village of multi million dollar mansions built by Naij money and their hold along with other foreigners like Stallion CEO over your economy.
Pls respond to that. I debate, usually with adults of my intellect- if you can't or won't respond like a reasonably intelligent adult male, no biggie!

I DON'T do feminine exchanges,my dude! I discuss empirical evidence, usually with intellectual peers. Tell me why and how Lebanese build 2 mn $ mansions back home in an economy with a mere 1100$ per capita GDP according to Prof Falade and why they along with the likes of Stallion own so much of your economy.

The statistics according to him showed that, low figure for GDP per capital income of $1,154 and a high percent of the population that is poor, of which 54 per cent is said to be the population figure living below one dollar per day.

Out of 20, we only have 3 politicians.
The rest are Kenyan business men and women. But even with that, politicians are not paid enough to be ranked where they are, they also do business, Businesses is what placed them there.

Careful with these lists. Many hide their wealth. The Ndegwas of NCBA are dollar billionaires. Mwangi of Equity owns wayyyy more thanks to fronts, subsidiaries and and hidden holding companies. I personally know of 2 Kikuyus, both billionaires who should be on the list but are silent movers.

b]Sometimes, people with an inferiority complex show signs of being overconfident or narcissistic[/b], but this isn’t really the case. Instead, it’s a way of masking an overwhelming feeling of being inadequate. These symptoms may include:

Being highly competitive
Being a perfectionist or sensitive to criticism
Finding faults in others
Seeking attention
Having trouble admitting to mistakes

No. They can't. Sometimes I almost feel sorry for these Waffas. They're ONLY natural competence is professional lying in which they're mediocre.
Since 2016 they've laughed their nuts off at our slums while they've more. Similarly they say we're owned by foreigners but Lebanese have built 2 mn $ mansions back home off Naij money leaving them to scramble for kobos.

gallivant:


Do you know these folk?

I tell you they own their biggest outfits ! The 2 biggest tax contributors are Dangote and Stallion. See who owns the latter. Along with Lebanese they own 90% leaving Okadamen to screech how rich they are here on NL fighting for scraps.
Seen this?

A recent story by the middleeasteye.net reviewed how urbanization of a Lebanese nomad town of Miziara was transformed by streams of revenue from Nigeria.

[url][https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pulse.ng/bi/lifestyle/miziara-a-lebanese-village-built-with-wealth-from-nigeria/16rcsgp.ampurl]

Pierre Daaboul, Deputy Mayor of Miziara, noted that “…everything was built with money from Nigeria; our entire economy relies on emigration to Western Africa. Today, about 80 percent of the village works there because they make much more money there than here.” This is a statement of facts with the management of many industries being headed by a Lebanese or expatriates.

The Eko Atlantic boosters, the Chigoury bros are Lebanese and have a street named after them here. #3

This is the largest villa in Miziara and has 30 rooms and costs $20 million. The owner is Elias Daaboul, a Lebanese businessman who made a fortune in the Nigerian oil sector.

Fkn scandalous!

If you've ACTUALLY read it and understood it srs questions remain: it's been 2 yrs since signing and nothing has happened.

Two years after President Muhammadu Buhari, the German Government and a German company, Siemens AG, inked a 25,000 megawatts (MW) Presidential Power Initiative (PPI), work is yet to take off at any power station under the phase one that ought to raise the electricity grid to 7,000MW by the end of this year.

Also

Recently, Nigerian author, Chimamanda Adichie, asked the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, on the Siemens-Nigeria Power project progress, at a public event in Germany.

Chimamanda and Chancellor Merkel were guests speakers at a panel held at the Düsseldorf's Schauspielhaus Theatre.

Responding to Adichie's question, the German leader said, "I will get back to you. You will get your answer."

A commercial German loan is meant to fund the project, hmmmm...at the same time I see no mention of what imo is the real issue - top to bottom replacement of extant transmission infrastructure ie, the cables, transformers, step up stations etc, etc.
As I said that's your real power problem.

samorobo:


Nice one

We told you if your transmission system is FKed beyond repair it DOESN'T matter how much you produce! 700, 7000, even 70000 MW - it DOESN'T matter if the rickety transmission grid leaks like a leaky bucket!
Ishyt may be beyond fixing as consumers DON'T even pay the distro companies anyway. You're in a double bind

If ONLY these Okadamen were literate enough to see what we see ! Idk the past time I saw any large biz balance sheets even a third of that figure. Even 8% is cause for celebration in the West: the senior VPs in US banks would get 7 figure bonuses easily.

He's made a 15 yr career following RAO around with FA to show politically. He ignored real gains like allying with Uhunye back in 2011 for RAO's grand promises and ACTUALLY thought RAO would fallback and support him this time round? Srsly!? A recent opinion poll had him at 1%. Ofc he denied it but WT actual FK!?

Kazibure, ever heard of James Joseph Mungai? He died 2016 and the late Maguful attended his burial. He was made minister at 29 yrs?, the youngest ever and had a bro as a TPDF Maj Gen. Apparently the parents settled on Iringa tea plantations as workers in the colonial era.
The extended family here were the Kenyatta in-laws of Kikuyu town, the Mungais who had Njoroge Mungai as defmin late 60s, early 70s.
I've heard post Uhuru a number of Kyukes settled Morogoro and between Tabora and L Tanganyika. The land was surveyed by as much land as you can comfortably walk around.
Problem was a fly that laid maggots in your flesh with no healthcare whatsoever and complete lack of marketing of planted maize and cotton. This, NOT dangerous wildlife, lions, leopards and ISHYT made many give up- a few stayed.
In '65, some 300 or so more settlers were headed to Zambia but in a typically byatchlike move Nyerere warned Kaunda NOT to ACCEPT them. A, pity as maize grows in Zambia WITHOUT human intervention. A few did reach Zambia by individual effort and are STILL there.
[b]This idea should've been taken further! We've a shortage of cultivable land here being 80% + ASAL. [/b]Instead many African leaders drop their pants bending OVER for displaced Boers and Rhodies to farm their soil! By now we'd have had a sizable regional diaspora akin to the massive NRI numbers in these parts.
Question: heard of Kikuyu settlers in Tz and numbers? I've only rough estimates.

Reminds me of the AACC centre Waiyaki Way. Every time passing by in the 80s I'd see it half finished. Construction began in the 70s! FINALLY, Moi said " finish the building or FK off and I'll pull it down!" IIRC it was completed by 87 thereabouts.
