The truth is that Kenya has more to gain from a Union with Tanzania. It's just like Kenyans want to reap from where they did not sow.
I dare Kenyans here to tell us what Tanzanians stand to gain by a joint union with you guys @Kikuyu1, mtisTheQubit, Kur17, Jonraid, gallivant.
Tanzania has a larger market, larger landmass, more minerals etc
This is just like Nigeria and other West Africans. I always wonder what we Nigerians stand to gain from other West Africans in a union. Well, in our case, I think LANDMASS. Other parts of West Africa have a larger landmass than Nigeria (Most of these lands are deserts afterall).
Kazikazi: That is not competition. Its taking what is not yours.A truly competition is when Kenya markets mount Kenya which is hers and Tz markets her Kilimanjaro. That why in businesses we have a patent.
Kenya has national park at it's side of the border around Mt Kilimanjaro, do you want us to put a curtain n cover your mountain so that our tourists won't see it or what.... TZ fears Kenyans aggressiveness we can't do business together bcz we're not at the same level of expertise,. TZ is jealous of It's neigbour, you'll rather get a bad service from somewhere else than to get a good one from Kenya...
Nowenuse: Zanzibar is such a beauty to behold. Tanzania is surely going to be my vacation destination next year.
Tanzania is truly blessed.
In as much as we have our differences, I really think a united East African republic with Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi will be a very progressive country.
By next year, all of West Africa hopes to use a single currency which will make us a single economy. You east Africans speak a common language (swahili) compared to we West Africans who do not even understand each other.
With the character of Kenyans here, I can definitely see that Kenya should be the major hindrance to East African unity. They are just so poisonous and obnoxious. Gosh! But hey what are we going to do? We already share skin colour and race with them. Whether we like it or not, the destinies of all Black Africans are tied together somehow.
You should do a research who really derails the East African process of moving as one... The laziest fears the strongest
Jonraid: I don't advocate for killings but Nigerians should stop loitering around Africa ! But apparently Kenya is the most useless of all countries while they come here !
Kazikazi: who doesn't modernize ports?who don't builds railways? Who don't construct roads? Actually we have better bridges,a longer railway network than you.This Amber resort(it will have underwater restaurant)is in unguja island,we don't need SGR in an island! The project perfectly fits the islanders
Lazy hammerhead, you're really strangling burning allot of calories trying to explain allot of nothing, and you're still on you're bed at this time of the day, LazyLazy
bantudra: their are many languages in africa....kenya surely doesnt have only Swahili...you domesticated fools....
english,arab and you are proud....take una heads out of una asses...
When different tribes of Kenya or East Africans meet they'll choose either to speak in English or Swahili, but what about you? You have options for English or molested English in the name of pidgin
jaycent: Just take your precious time and look at those rusty uncompleted buildings in that areas? and you want to compare your rubbish, dirty Nairobi with Lagos. make God punish your umjulubeng there?
They're underconstraction you guy what is wrong with you, I love seeing such a massive construction sites ...the whole of that section of Nairobi was a residential area.... that was two months ago, I'll show you the current one, and see how tall those buildings have gone
Here is a message for all the kenyans. Please please kenya you have to block aliko dangote from investing in your country the guys hands is not clean. Just look what he did to nigeria and zambia put these countries in massive debt. He will come to your country kenya and promise you heaven and earth in investments daddy is going to reduce the price of cement yes you will do that for 6 months then jack the price 3-4 times higher like what he did in nigeria. If you want to sell your cement company it is better to give it to the german company than to give it to him. Even south africa is beginning to regret that he invested in their cement sector because the price of cement has been going up steadily and he is to blame. Kenyans must not fall in this trap of empty promises.
Kenya is a hard nut to crack in terms of business competition
gallivant: You posted like 3 pages of ugly Nigerian hotels and we watched in horror. You are the miserable one. Lol
Somalia should be having better hotels than those of Nigeria, someone cld have a very horrible nightmare if he/she spend a night in those haunted like buildings...esp with their limited electricity
rvp2018: This is more realistic. Nigeria if about twice Kenya GDP wise - with about half of that being Oil production GDP. Anything else is cooked. South Africa is about 4-5 times richer.
Sure, this makes more sense and proves our arguments against the "giants of population'"
Kenya is the fifth richest country in Africa,& ninth on per capita.
Kenya’s total wealth at Sh10.4 trillion.
South Africa was ranked the wealthiest on the continent with a net value of Sh72 trillion, followed by Egypt at Sh33 trillion, Nigeria’s Sh25 trillion and Morocco at Sh12 trillion....(Tanzania Sh6 trillion & 8th)
Nigeria is no longer on top ten per capita.
Countries such as Switzerland and Australia have a wealth per person of over Sh20 million.
This is one of the few countries where ambassadors/diplomats from the first world have settled,even after completing serving their term...., including paupers and beggars from Nigeria and Tanzanian they never want to go back home... they never wish to leave this heavenly country
Kazikazi: Ho ho ho ho... What are you saying Mr kibera? Do you want all nations with other energy sources to abandon them and go for geothermal? Even if their reserve of geothermal is so low? What your saying a country like Tanzania,Egypt,Norway,Algeria,Mozambique etc shouldn't develop their propane gases for power so that we can compete in geothermal? Hohohohoho..why are Kenyans so low on technical skills? These are people who shouted on top of their voices when a Chinese built them a railway tunnel! I wish I could have bought them just one boring machine so may b they could know how simple is to bore a mountain!
Such a foolish reasoning. Lazyman you don't deserve my attention, continue laughing like a zombie that you're...
According to the Renewables Global Status 2018, the country tops in Africa with 700 megawatts (MW),
The US has the largest geothermal generating capacity with 2,500 megawatts followed by the Philippines (1,900 MW), Indonesia (1,800 MW), Turkey (1,100 MW), New Zealand (1000 MW), Mexico (900 MW), Italy (800 MW) and Iceland (750 MW).
Kenya beats technological heavyweight Japan which has been ranked tenth with an output of 500 MW.
The rest of the world share 950 MW.
Ethiopia is the only other African country with developed geothermal energy (7 MW).
When you ask Google such a question and it gives you Nairobi, then just accept you have nothing....this is not amusing any more it's a perfect example of failure
rvp2018: Great pictures. I think more such investment in Northern Kenya will accelerate poverty reduction - already poverty has come down from 80-90% 10 years go to 50-60%. I think one more decade and their poverty will reduce to 30%.
Hopefully the new Ethiopian gov and Kenya gov will finally spur trade btw the two nations - and help jump start the economy of the north - together with LAPSET.
True, these are the times for the marginalised communities/regions, the lappset project will open up the northern part, not to mention the discovered oil and devolved leadership...
