Don't be surprised bro, in infrastructure wise Windhoek maybe more developed than east Africa

These are Kenyan top exports in 2021.
Horticulture and tea are Kenya's leading exporting items. In 2021, the country earned over 165 billion Kenyan shillings (KSh), approximately 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, with horticultural products exports. Tea exports generated nearly 131 billion KSh (1.1 billion U.S. dollars). Coffee as well as apparel and clothing also ranked as Kenya's main exports.

These were Nigerian main exports 2021

The top exports of Nigeria are Crude Petroleum ($30B), Petroleum Gas ($5.89B), Scrap Vessels ($1.29B), Special Purpose Ships ($775M), and Refined Petroleum ($613M), exporting mostly to India ($6.27B), Spain ($4.8B), China ($2.54B), Netherlands ($2.24B), and South Africa ($2.17B).

In 2020, Nigeria was the world's biggest exporter of Scrap Vessels ($1.29B)

Top ten exports of Nigeria 2021

1)Mineral fuels including oil: US$42.4 billion (89.1% of total exports)
2)Ships, boats: $1.4 billion (3%)
3)Fertilizers: $949.8 million (2%)
4)Cocoa: $628.8 million (1.3%)
5)Oil seeds: $326.2 million (0.7%)
6)Zinc: $258.8 million (0.5%)
7)Aluminum: $190.3 million (0.4%)
8 Aircraft, spacecraft: $143.7 million (0.3%)
9)Tobacco, manufactured substitutes: $112.8 million (0.2%)
10)Lead: $94.1 million (0.2%)

You can see Ships, Boats, Aircrafts, Spacecrafts, all together at a value more than your top export Horticulture at 1.4 Billion dollars.

I have my doubt of scrapped vessels and special purpose ships data - otherwise it clear Nigeria main exports are natural resources - that have least multiplier - and ability to lift people out of poverty.

Kenya is doing well in horticulture - with multiplier as good as manufacturing - IT enabled services (outsourcing), tourism - that have huge potentially to transform the economy. This should be the focus - the high value agriculture (avacados earn Mexico 12billion dollars), IT-enabled outsourcing system- exports as good as selling machine abroad- (digital economy with investment in fiber all over the country) - tourism - high value services - as traditional manufacturing is a mountain to climb for now

That is why Kenya has been pulling economic growth almost non stop for 20yrs - while Nigeria is struggling - 10yrs of recession and now even with Oil at it peak - it appears the anemic growth rate will continue.

When this kenya v Nigeria started - somewhere in 2014/2015 - Kenya economy was barely 40B - Nigeria was 500B. Now Kenya economy has climbed - this year could be 120B - Nigeria economy osciallate btw 400-500B for a decade - and if they devalue the Naira - it will drop to even 200B.

Nigeria economy need serious re-configuration - that ought to start with fixing education sector - otherwise I dont see much hope - with pre-mature urbanization (at 50 percent) - endemic poverty in slumpolis - and total collapse of basic infrastructure (electricity is now a miracle)

In the meantime kenya economy is transforming - and in a decade - will have caught up with Nigeria and South Africa - who are mark timming btw 350-500B - depending on USD. Both have had a lost decade.

GeneralDae:
You are just blabbing. I gave you facts. Our exports from ships, boats, scrap vessels and Aircrafts are more than your top export Horticulture.

rvp20182:
And you believe Nigeria export spaceships, aircrafts and ships to Spain. Some of that data is crazy. Nigeria made aircraft - what it's the name INNOSON.

gallivant:
Lmao!!

rvp20182:
No pilot will accept to fly a made in Nigeria aircraft even with a parachoute - even for a training purpose. That is pure suicide. Not even spare part made in Nigeria will be allowed in any aeroplane.

gallivant:
Now show us Enugu...

rvp20182:
Only a demented fool would believe such data.
Nigeria export aircrafts
Facts is Nigeria economy been sick
Now even with peak oil prices - it even sicker.
Kenya economy is firing on all cylinders.
And we are just starting.

What about the zoo? No pictures..

I'm curious, when did we start manufacturing special purpose ships, and Aircrafts?? For exports

We started a long time ago. By the time we also start exporting electric buses and vehicles to African countries nearby, or we start exporting other manufactured equipments from Proforce, Nord, Innoson, and the likes, many would also ask: "When did we start manufacturing these things"?

Fourpockets:
When it comes to IT sourcing, Nigeria is tops in Africa.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Namibia gdp is $10 billion for 3 million people and Rwanda for 13 million

Even in terms of built infrastructure Namibia is far ahead.... Heck Rwanda will not be compared to any southern African country its disrespect

HDI is very vague it does not factor in infrastructure

ProblemChild1:
Chill bro, this is Windhoek, Namibia. Far more developed than anywhere in Rwanda.

ProblemChild1:
Don't be surprised bro, in infrastructure wise Windhoek maybe more developed than east Africa

Shma2022:
Do you have hearing impairments, glaucoma, Or are you not just attentive? My point was GHANA is better than Namibia. Since you brought Rwanda, we can also go with it.

Rwanda just plucked itself from an economic quagmire, windhoek and Namibia at large were enjoying the fruits of the imperial German army. Even to date, majority of Nice places are owned by Germans - who have built namibia from scratch.

If you check current Namibia and weigh dev dynamics; you'll notice that Rwanda is way ahead in progress.

Don't assume I don't know HDI. I can school you on that. If you are to drop pointers, don't cherry-pick. Start from human development then go to infrastructure as you go to economy.... That way, we will know how to weigh and give points.

I know about innoson and proforce military vehicles, but I don't know anything about aircrafts can you give me companies that manufacture tgem

Shma2022:
Are you sarcastic or you're abusing drugs, my G?
Lemme help you with quality pics from Rwanda.

AfriqueDuZuid:
If you really wanna compare Namibia and Rwanda you are really beyond repair

Shma2022:
I'm comparing Namibia with Ghana.
Also, Rwanda and Namibia are pretty much comparable.

AfriqueDuZuid:
different angles from same place

Convention center and its surrounding buildings

+ the failed estate vision city

AfriqueDuZuid:
Theres no comparison here
