Since we are on the topic of rallying...

Toyota Gazoo racing South Africa won its second dakar rally in January with Nasser Al Attiyah at the wheel.... Its also Nassers second win with the team (4th overall) , the first being in 2019....Team mate Giniel de Villiers was 5th....his 14th straight top 10 finish... He also has a record of 18/19 top 10 finishes in his Dakar career... With his single none top 10 finish being an 11th place in 2007 he also won the Dakar in 2009 and has placed on the podium on 8 occasions making him easily the most consistent driver on the Dakar

POKUASI2:
At least we have DANGOTE to be proud..
What you do have in ghana?
Richest man/woman in ghana =Indian..
Second Richest =Labanese..
3rd Richest=Chinese..
Ghanaians are laborers and proud

theenchanter:
baba, wetin Ghanaians do u? the guy u quoted is Kenyan but u still chook Ghana for there.

What's is with u and Ghanaians?

Kuruptnigga:
Ghanaians don really show him shege for ghana no be small he doesn’t want to know if the world are against Nigeria. but rather attack only ghana/ghanaians.

theenchanter:
it's absurd, no matter how u try to swing it, it always fall back on u, yet, u asked for apple-to-apple comparison but u ended up uprooting a source of "foreign" investment startups in Nigeria while I dug out ur local startups for u.

Well, ur link is about foreign investment in Nigeria and won't pass in our discussion, try to bring out Nigerian startups and compare with Kenyan startups that dominated by foreigners right opposite u in Kenya.

theenchanter:
he knows what he's doing. He knows Kenyan startups are mostly founded by foreigners unlike Nigerian startups, he's only feigning ignorance while bring up incoherent sources.

gallivant:
Stay winning...

I can see whites are dominating this sector.

You are conflating two things here. All four of our tech startups with Unicorn status such as Flutterwave, Interswitch, Jumia, Andela, Opay, etc have Nigerian founders or cofounders. The funding mostly comes from abroad, of course I would give you that.

However, apart from Google and MTN on your list, it's not a case of mostly foreigners coming in to create tech from scratch here. Remember you have India has a 46th tribe and you have more White Westerners going into East and Southern Africa than West Africa.

Flutterwave- A Nigerian was the founder. Jumia- Nigerians were initially involved before selling most of their shares.
Andela- was cofounded by a Nigerian, Interswitch- was founded and still maintained by a Nigerian,
Opay-same thing, etc.

The reason we don't have many white founders like Kenya ( though we have mainly white funding like Kenya) is that unlike Kenya, we have always been the most travelled group from the continent, hence the most educated black immigrants in the U.K and U.S.
Even without the Diaspora, there are a good number of tech startups founded by purely Nigerian based founders.

If you want to know how dysfunctional a society Nigeria truly is then take your time and go through this Twitter thread.

https://twitter.com/ButterBibi/status/1506574215906005001?t=c8nhmC_C4RZvuoSPNGHojQ&s=19[/quote]Fool, Nairobi or even Kenya as a country is a crime scene

gallivant:
Was the guy lying about Ghanaian labourers? Stop deflecting.

Just40:
Ghanaians owned almost everything here except the steel industry which is 70% indian dominated and even with this, we still ensure local content.
Our local content laws are quite strictly enforced
We are not like you guys who have left everything to other while your people are poor labourers.

The people who go to dig out these things against Nigeria, usually have it worse in their countries. It's easy to dig out anything about any nation. I recently watched a SA news channel where the guest was saying South Africa is more or less a failed state because of corruption, deteriorating road infrastructures, dwindling power supply, rise in cost of goods and services, crime etc. I was shocked, because I grew up thinking these problems were so unique to Nigeria.

The more you learn about other African countries and even carribeans, you'll see it's almost thesame story afterall.

When a hungry dog barks everybody knows it is backing for food when is starving dog barks it is vicious. Your major problem is you are starving and do not know it. You can try getting the indomie hungry man's Park. This would definitely call you down at your stress levels. The biggest business in Ghana today from what my friends tell me there is export. There is no business as profitable in Ghana today as export. Cocoa prices are skyrocketing coffee prices are going up tea prices are going up I know Kenya will benefit from this . Most foodstuff prices including grains are going up even the price of pineapple has now increased by 25% on international market. Just look at it if you produce the same amount you will get 25% more money this year what else is better. I wish you are not borrowing money to pump oil. Because of the huge time difference with Brazil it is difficult for me to come on this forum. In the daytime I am extremely busy

Shma:
Apple for apples approaches only applies during comparison. I dropped a link to dispute lies, not to compare anything. know the difference.

You already proved a point on Kenya startup founders with this link - I don't know why you're wasting words.
https://startupstash.com/kenyan-startups/

Out of 21 companies, 8 were founded and co-founded by foreigners You keep on arguing notwithstanding the evidence at hand.

So basically, you're just ignorant or a liar.

My question is, Who are these foreigners "dominating" Kenyan startups? Or DOMINATING has lost its meaning?

theenchanter:
out of the 21 companies in the list, 12 are founded and co-founded by foreigners while 9 are founded by Kenyans.

Companies founded by foreigners.
• M.Kopa. • Copia Global. • Aza Finance. • Lendable
• Paygo Energy. • Kune. • Flare.

Companies co-founded by foreigners.
• Twiga foods. • Sendy. • Kibanda Topup.
• Ajua. • Eneza Education.

The remaining 9 companies are founded by Kenyans.

The point is, u can screech as long as u want, it won't dent the founders pocket.

gallivant:
Foreigners, because they are not black? I have to break it to you, Kenya is a civilized country. We don't discriminate law abiding, tax paying citizens based on race, creed or religion. You are only displaying ignorance.

gallivant:
You were scared to say this to the Nigerian?

Kenya is soon going to have a level 4 biosafety lab. Which has been in the works for some time now. This is going to be the second such facility in africa after south Africa. The facility will be part of a wider network that is developing in Kenya starting with the Dedan Kimathi semiconductor lab, KDF biotechnology hospital, and Konza City and as well UON/JKUAT.
