Exactly the GDPof west Africa is 750 billion dollars and the GDP of East Africa is about 320 billion dollars. So do your rally want to compare, even the population of west Africa is much larger then that of East Africa.

What is the average cost of a house in Tanzania?

jln115:
Fair comment, I simply gave my opinion!

Danielnino00:
Kiberans,what was that u said about our agriculture?

Abohboy:
More and it’s spread out from Bauchi to borno, to cross river to ogun state. Nigeria is building 500 000- 1 million housing units every year, this will continue till 2050 to meet housing demand that is probably more houses than Tanzania will build in the next 5 years, we would do it in one year

Your screenshot said it was Southern African country just off the coast of east Africa.

never said it was an East African country

Just30:
did i mention EAC or mention geography.

I corrected your ill informed attempt to place Madagascar in East Africa.

when did Malawi become part of that convo?

Just30:
you just made my point for me

Just30:
Unless you want to say Mozambique is in East Africa, then Geographically Madagascar is not in East Africa

vankelvin:
So by this accession, you now accept the fact that WEST AFRICA is a no going area for East African comparisons abi? So this has been settled.

Don't see yourself so important here.
Kenya which is the ''father'' of East Africa Countries cant beat Ghana nor Nigeria in development wise.
If Kenya were to be in West Africa, like your position will be at 3rd and 4th position,
and your mates will be Cote Devior, and Senegal.

The EAC is a model for Africa btw in case you didnt now. Used to have same currency, public service, anthem, etc.

Danielnino00:


EAC was established in 1967 before it was dissolved and reestablished...
You haven't achieved sh*t...and you are nowhere close to achieving sh*t..

That's why other East African countries prefer to join SADC.. at least under SADC they can benefit from South Africa...

TayserMahrii:


My bad. Some of these small things escape me. Ask me about bigger things like the local cluster or bootes void I have them at my finger tips. But some of those like Somalia and Ethiopia are considered horn of Africa. Anyway, the issue here is that Africa is not a perfect shape. A nation can fall anywhere within the four directions. Eg Mozambique can be considered east African or southern African.

Okay you have good central business districts, but what about the percentage of the population that lives in slums, outside of Kigali, Rwanda is very poor, Nairobi, Mombasa, eldoret and kisumu all have quite big slums, same applies to dar es salaam, the average person is living in a shack or a dilapidated house.

rvp2018:
Mzalendo - how are you holding up with COVID-19 in your little Magufulistan? There seem to be total media blackout.

Just30:
the pecking order

rvp2018:
GDP (nominal) sub-Sahara according to IMF - Kenya now the 3rd - Ghana bigger than Tanzania. Big asterik on that - and of course Nigeria overcooked data.

rvp2018:
Very laughable. The total budget is known. The breakdown is unknown to the public but not to budget offices, parliament security committees, etc ect. The security budget generally is un-audited publicly - but still audited - which KaziKazi has explained could lead to corruption. Your misunderstand opaqueness.

When you talk about coups - what will Kenya or Tanzania say - countries that have never had any successful coup.

In most modern democracies (exclude Ghana) - including Kenya - the security budget is still somewhat audited - verified - but parliament and audit office that swear to secrecy - and there is civilian authority of the military.

Now if you country has a rogue security sector that is un-supervised - and have a budget - nobody - not even parliament knows about - then no wonder you're just little Nigeria in the number of coups.

leo552:

In the last pic,only kenya military special forces uses that kind of a gun (FN SCAR ) in Africa and very few countries in the world,in the USA, navy seals own it.

Austine1213:


Tanzania is very very poor, So Tanzanians thinks big GDP means you better?

Namibia better than Tanzania :fact

Mkenya2019:
But surely who borrow a commercial loan to build a railway of doubtful ROI. As far as I know Tanzania is still part of HIPC - HEAVILY INDEBTED - country - like Ghana.

Austine1213:


$500b per month?

300b to service dept, isnt Tanzania gdp less than $70b?

Mkenya2019:
Interesting. I haven't checked your figures lately. I know your revenue to debt was high -45% last I checked.

Austine1213:


I see Tanzania in dark shade of green, on The HIPC map

Mkenya2019:
Paris club - is IMF, WB kinda of loans - IMF, WB, IDB are multilateral - you know who own each - if you owe WB - then you owe the US of A 20% - now Paris club is mostly bilateral loan to rich nations - and get called when you're struggling - and they decide who takes the hit. You can say these are bilateral donors - but IMF, WB, ADB - sit in Paris club - because they are also owed.

London club - is for private lending - if you like Tanzania borrow a commercial loan to build a railway and COVID-19 come in - and South African bank come for your pound of flesh - you call for London club. Those are not very forgiving. That is why Tanzania's stupidity is legendary. Nigeria got away with murder because well nobody like poverty and Nigerians will emigrate and spread poverty..but borrowing from commercial debt is a VERY SERIOUS business that can mess you Argentina style. Imagine Tanzani asking a South African bank to forgive 1B dollars

For public lending/creditor(Paris Club) - the loser is just a tax payer of rich nation who has to yet again subsidize Nigeria - but commercial loan(Londo n club) is someone lifetime savings or pension on the line.

Baliv254:



that will be extremely difficult
Did you know Nakuru town in kenya has more road overpasses/flyovers than the entire nation of Tanzania
in fact they just got their first flyover since independence in 2018

Mkenya2019:
Yes, it very likely, they will get another debt forgiveness soon. The world doesn't like a poor Nigeria breeding Boko haram, immigration, international crime, and drug trafficking. To some extent they are smartly hopeless. Multilateral and bilateral loans are more AID than real debt.

What I really pity is Tanzania and Ghana who have taken lots of commercial debt. If they get into turbulence - and say South African bank is being asked to let go of a billion dollars. Ohoo men they will demand an Island!! or start seizing embassies, airplanes and anything written Tanzania and sell it.

Countries like Ghana, Zambia, and now Tanzania when they get rejected by multilateral or bilateral donors - they rush to commercial banks - and get loans - and start building nonsense - and then they fail to pay - and they go Argentina way.

So killing tribe is forcing everyone to speak swahili..dude i know Tz an can tell you tribalism is rife..you can even pick the opposition tribes from the ruling party ..
anyway kazikazi its stupid to kill your tribe coz the next thing is to become a slave to another one..

TayserMahri:


Do you know how quality tests are done? You dont test every kit. You simply grab a test kit from a bale containing many and see if its faulty, the assumption being if it is, then the whole bunch is. The single kit you test could be faulty but the rest in its bale are not or vice versa, the whole bale could be faulty except the one you test. There's no 100 %. The only way to ascertain would be multiple tests, which is why in Kenya for instance for you to be declared cured you must have a minimum of two consecutive negative tests.

Anyway, your country continues to be a threat to all its neigbors. Yesterday, we confirmed 47 cases positive, 23 of whom were Tanzanians (thats half!). Today, we tested 8 Tanzanians positive out of 21 positive cases. Continue celebrating the firing of your lab executives instead of supporting them to help you combat the virus.
