this, I believe. being chaired 2x at AU doesn't automatically mean influence, bro. AU is rotated among the five African regions and there are 10 or so countries in southern Africa, SA being the major country with a majority of smaller nations, where else do u expect the chair to go when it gets to southern Africa's turn?

I'm not disputing d fact that, just like many African nations, u're among several international bodies, I'm only asking for what has been done by those bodies to the continent, particularly because of SA.

And don't mention BRICS that one is more for the five nations, G20 will be better.......

in Africa we only have regional powers, no African country has the influence of China or the US,and neither did I claim such, what I said was SA has more influence thanks to having more soft power, because of the fact that we are in G20, Brics and aEU stratigic partner as well has the fact that we are the most visible African investor in Africa...
Everyone knows our products and franchises... The fact that you shop at Shoprite, watch your shows on DSTV and buy your airtime at MTN is what I mean by soft power...... I never said SA influences WA more than Nigeria does but that was never my argument in the first place

Economically yes, South Africa remain the Sub-SaharaAfrican giant with it's companies in almost all Africa countries, politically ever since you elected Zuma, and messed up Zim, nobody really look upto South Africa anymore for political solutions.

Kikuyu - look like some of manifesto is filtering through - the most exciting Ruto is promising to phase out fossil fuels in 3yrs - and make kenya electric...audacious goal by an African country.
I guess GoK will have to create industries to convert diesel and petrol engines to electric engines...do the conversion as loan for the motorcyle sector...and in few years diesel & petrol consumption will drop to bare minimum.
Doable for motor bikes...worldwide the trend is electric bikes.
Difficult for cars. But if gov zero rate electric cars...we could see many of them coming in.
We have about 500-700MW of power going to waste now.
Ethiopia can sell us 400MW of power cheaply.
We spend 3 billion dollars importing fossil fuel - with attendances shocks that come with prizes swinging widly.
This will provide huge opportunities for electric transport sector.

Tayser:


Herman Manyora's clip was very informative. He points out all the fallacies the KK team have swallowed. Like the 4.5 + 5.8

Absolutely.

Key takeaways:
The 4.5M Rift Valley population does not translate to Ruto's win. In fact - Ruto & Raila shares nearly equal votes in the Rift.
In mount Kenya, 5.8M does not translate to Ruto's win. Jubilee defeated Nasa in the mountain with Uhuru as the mastermind - not Ruto.
Ruto only helped Uhuru garner part of Rift valley votes( in Bomet, Nandi, elgeyo, ...those areas).
So, kikuyus are now seeing something in Azimio - with Uhuru & now Martha as the pioneers. So on the mountain, expect 40%-45% Raila votes.

The rest are AZIMIO'S strongholds & with others going 50/50. If you dispute that then you don't live in kenya.

I believe manyora and any other sober Kenyan hold the above opinion.

Rift valley population is 10m plus and it's voting block is 5.3m with kalenjin making 55 percent of it and Kikuyu follow with 20 percent then maasai and luhya and turkana the balance.. kalenjin is a huge political force that has realistic governor or deputy governor in 11 counties if you include sakaja..with potential 55 mps..Kikuyu come 2nd 9 counties as governor or deputy..in raw votes Kikuyu are joggernaut..with 4 million votes plus..and about 60 mps....luo have a chance in only four counties and are hardly 2 million registered votes..luhya 6 counties .Manyora should concentrate on writing primary school short stories.. politics is way above his pay grade .In few weeks you'll be fortunate because I broke the bad news to you earlier...Ruto is not only winning but will rout Azimio in parliament by 100 plus more mps.In 2013 jubilee won just by nicking Mt Kenya and kalenjin..scoring single digits everywhere... how do you beat Ruto who is very competitive nationally..and Mt Kenya doesn't look likely ready to trust someone they have been indoctrinated for 20yrs to hate.You will cry real tears but you will thank me for breaking the bad news this early .. otherwise I have seen people get shocked and depressed after election because they believe nonsense like 41 against 1 in 2007 or 40 against 2 in 2013...

Azimio, understand Mt Kenya and kalenjin are at least 80 percent in 17 counties..10 in Mt Kenya, 7 kalenjin and near 40 percent in another 6-7 (Nairobi,Narok, kajiado,tranzoia, lamu with significant number in isiolo, bungoma and Mombasa) that already is 24 counties.That is more than half the counties needed to win pork.How do you beat that unless you make Martha sell.. something that has failed..then stop Ruto from being competitive in luhya, coast and even ukambani & gusii

Nairobi streets are taking a new face. Electric buses have already been deployed in the CBD.
The top-notch pedestrian lane on course.

Maybe because I'm W.african I'm ignorant of this

jl115:

My bru and you think SA doesn't have the same influence? Are you good bro?

Also being on G20, BRICS ect ect means we have the ability to make decisions that affect Africa as a whole.... Also I've clearly showed you that SAs GDP is $436 billion

Nonsense. What decision have you made that has in anyway affected or influenced Africa.
Your tags are just as useless as the P in psychology.


And yes your gdp is nothing close to the figure you are quoting. It’s a mere $320bn economy. You only showed me estimates not the real deal.

Twitter is still twitter just like shop rite is still Shoprite.... And it not a superior move to buy a business..... Its just business, either way we make money.

- there has never been loadshedding for longer than 2.5 hours....that 10 hours you talking about is a made up story

Nope Twitter belong to Elon musk,whoever created it is now largely irrelevant.

Somewhere along this video this nigga talked about the previous load shedding before this one last up to 10 hours and he had to leave his house for somewhere else,so yeah .

Bully MTN? If you wanted to bully MTN you could've kicked them out of Nigeria or nationalised them.... But no you gave them a slap on the wrist for potentially aiding Boko Haram......MTN has bullied the Nigerian government, not the other way around

You running over to ado rock on your knees doesn’t portray you as the bad gut with all the cards, rather it’s portrays you are a scared pussy begging to survive.
That doesn’t speak influence now does it?

It's this toxic positivity and wishful thinking that will lead to shouts of electoral fraud come August 9. Statements like Rao and Ruto share the same votes in the Rift is what makes people not take you seriously at all. You know what, I won't even bother arguing as the writings already on the wall.

I was underscoring manyora's sentiments.

And What makes you think manyoro's, tayser's or shma's submission is wrong and yours is right?

Why are UDAKU fanatics so entitled and certain about the BS they peddle around? Or are AZIMIO(winning team) supporters generally dumb to decompound Kenyan politics?

Attack the point like RVP is doing, drop data or stats - and convince me with them. Don't be emotional.

I'm sorry if this came out in bad taste.

Ok, Thank you

To be precise. Mandela started as global icon. Mbeki was doing fine until he started believing conspiracy theories on HIV-AIDS and when Zim issues exploded - South Africa choose to be quiet. Then they elected Zuma - a corrupt slowpoke - and from there it has never recovered.

Read my responses to GeneralDae and theentancher

Secondly it not a debate.... Our GDP is 435 billion as per the IMF..... Hence why nobody questioned it..... Even you agreed it was 435 billion when I debated Shma.

I had the good doc on ToT 6 yrs ago. A reminder of his career.

Hanke's first academic appointment was at the Colorado School of Mines in 1966, when he was 24. During this time, Hanke developed and taught courses in mineral and petroleum economics,[29] while completing his Ph.D. dissertation on the impact of meter installation on municipal water demand.[30]

Hanke then joined the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University, where he initially specialized in water resource economics. After six years at Johns Hopkins, including a one-year visiting professorship at the University of California, Berkeley, Hanke attained the rank of full professor,[3] one of the fastest promotions to that rank in the school's history.[31] At present, Hanke teaches courses in applied economics and finance[32] that are widely recognized as a gateway for Hopkins students to gain employment on Wall Street.[33][34][35][36]

Over the course of his career, Hanke has held editorial positions with a number of academic journals, including the Journal of Economic Policy Reform; Water Resources Research; Land Economics; and Water Engineering and Management. He currently holds editorial positions with The International Economy, The Independent Review, Cato Journal, Review of Austrian Economics, Economic Journal Watch, and Central Banking.[37]

In 1995, Hanke and Johns Hopkins University history professor Louis Galambos founded the Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health and Study of Business Enterprise.[3] Hanke is also a senior fellow and director of the Troubled Currencies Project at the Cato Institute,[1][38] a special counselor to the Center for Financial Stability,[39] and a member of the Charter Council of the Society for Economic Measurement.[40]

Hanke is a senior advisor at Renmin University's International Monetary Research Institute, along with Nobel laureate Robert Mundell of Columbia.[41

A full Johns Hopkins prof under the age of 30!? Read the rest of his CV-people would need 6 lifetimes to reach a fraction of his accomplishments. Iow he knows his ishyt!

Looking for his CV and only found this.

I have wide experience in university teaching, administration, research, program administration, project/program evaluation, fundraising and grant making. My primary interests are in HIV/AIDS, sexual and reproductive health, poverty reduction strategies, education and sustainable development. He also has interests in health care provision, policy formulation and program development around issues related to poverty and health. AREAS OF ACADEMIC SPECIALIZATION: Qualitative Research Methods Evaluation Research Methods Sociology of Health and Illness/Medical Sociology Sociology of Development Sociological Theory Other Competences • Good training and communication skills Advocacy and publicity creation skills • Resource mobilization, fundraising and grant making skills • Strong research, analytical and writing skills • Excellent skills in proposal development and report writing • Excellent team participant and a motivated independent worker

IME, poliscis,literature,media,history and sociology grads are only slightly less useless than those who studied philosophy. At best their learned skills prepare them for pedestrian careers-a 1000 apologies to any such students in here!
