Then why is Kenya receiving more money from Tourism than Tanzania?

You should not talk about cruise terminal cause you don't even have a shade.

Don't you trust the figures from your government? Show us 2021 figures.

Kazikazi:
Most nations were under lockdown in 2020,2021 so we can't read much from those figures the sector is not fully recovered

Balogunodua:


In Kebbi State and Sokoto it 3200.

He thinks Nigeria is Kenya where they buy cement for almost$10.

If you want to understand why Nigeria is messed up. Start with cement. Read this world bank blog
https://blogs.worldbank.org/developmenttalk/why-price-cement-so-high-africa

Everywhere in Africa - cement prizes have fallen - case is kenya - 20yrs ago I use to buy it 600-700 - as I built my first house - and for rest of years it has been 550-600 - retail - 450-500 if you buy wholesale. Cement has almost been inflation proof. And it should be - because cement is just made from useless limestone & clay as binder - most useless production that is plentiful everywhere.

Conclusion For Nigeria - Dangote & his friends are enslaving you. DO NOT PROJECT. Dangote cant do his crap outside Nigeria where he has to compete with others...he sell cement cheaply. Nigeria together with 3-4 others - they enslave you.

Nigeria should have cement plants in every city - as cement is just bulky grinding of limestone - it should not be a big deal - it like salt.

In Kenya banana, table salt and cement in are some of things that remain the same price almost for lifetime - banana has always been 5shs - salt 5shs - and cement now stuck at 500-600.

Almajiri with your esteem education in Islamic begging you dare talk about cerebral stuff.
Biggest cost of cement is transport cost...you want to build your factory smack right in the city.
It's bulky useless thing. Only expensive in Africa.
It cost 2 dollars elsewhere....that is why people just pour it.
Look at Kenya now...there are cement factories in every city...Mombasa, Nairobi, Kisumu, Nakuru and even now Eldoret.
That only way you can keep price down....reducing the cost of transport
I have transported cement with my trucks in Uganda...there were at least every 100ksm form nearest cement factory.
I charged half a dollar for 100ksm..200ksm..another half a dollar per bag...by time if get to Juba south sudan...you can imagine the transport cost from Uganda nearest cement factory in Tororo...700kms...that is already added 4 dollars per bag.
Truck takes about 600 bags...depending on the allowed axle.
Nigeria twice kenya should have maybe 50 cement factories...or at least one per state.

Now what do you have - Dangote has 3 or 5 plants - cements has to be trucked miles away...transport cost is huge..by time it get to Kano or your city...it already 15 dollars a bag....while in Egypt it's 2 dollars.

To get to 2-3 dollars Nigeria need to have cement factories in every major town - produce both limestone and clinker locally - and only variable really would be power cost (it needs lot of that) - and usual machinery+profit.

Perfect title

Kenyans just recently secured an IMF deal like Egypt. What I don't understand is why the Kenyans here are trolling Ghana, as though their situation is any better. Worst of it all is that while Ghana is seeking 3 billion dollars like the big boys they are, Kenya is seeking a paltry 433 million dollars.

IMF Reaches Staff Level Agreement on the Fourth Reviews of the Extended Fund Facility and Extended Credit Facility for Kenya
November 8, 2022

IMF staff and the Kenyan authorities have reached staff-level agreement on economic policies to conclude the fourth reviews of the 38-month EFF/ECF arrangements. Kenya would have access to about US$433 million in financing once the review is formally completed by the IMF Executive Board.
The new government has expressed strong commitment to the IMF-supported program.
The economy remains broadly resilient. However, volatile international commodity prices, tighter external financing conditions, higher inflation, global slowdown in growth, and continued drought have created a challenging backdrop for economic policy making.
Kenya’s program is helping the country through these global shocks by anchoring policies to support inclusive growth while addressing debt vulnerabilities.

Europe imports soybeans worth $14.2m from Nigeria, then go on to process it into oil and make thrice the money. In 2017, Alhaji Gerawa built a $50m processing plant in Kano, with a potential for export . Production has begun, 5,000 workers engaged,valued added and Nigeria wins.

rvp20182:
This could make more money than crue oil and with more multiplier -value chain - from millions of farmers to transports. Nigeria has huge potential go back being cooking oil giant it was before crude oil. Palm oil, soyabeans, name it... africa imports lots of cooking oil...i think 2nd to crude oil..if not cars or machinery.

Obaboon, you dont get any shame left in your zoo, comparing yourself to kenya. Save your generator. You're under the firm grip of Dangote. Tell Dangote to come and make money selling cement for 10 dollars He cant.

obaaderemi:
Your country is a mess, R I P. Selling cement for Ksh1000 is daylight robbery.

rvp2018:
Of course it's daylight robbery that has made Dangote the only odd man in room of billionaire..only dude rich from selling dust and salt.In Kenya it was period of insanity that lasted three months...fuel sudsidy led to shortages as supply chain came unstuck and we became like Nigeria..Uhuru Kenyatta dropped the ball in desperate attempt to stop Ruto and failed.Now imagine Nigeria you have been buying cement all these years at more than 10 dollars everyday despite fuel subsidies...

obaaderemi:
Nigeria has other billionaire businessmen aside Dangote. This is not little India.
I'll rather have these local businessmen run our economy than Indians and Jews who rob Kenyans blind selling cement at almost $10.

rvp2018:
The color of a thief doesn't matter to normal humans.Obaboon Kenya cement is 5 dollars...it should go even lower to Chinese level of 3 dollars..I wish we get Chinese investment on the sector.China itself started off by inviting Americans and like Xi once said...it doesn't matter the color of the cat..what matters is whether it catches the mice or not...an Indian or a Jew company in Kenya employ people, pay taxes and save each kenya 5 dollars that Dangote type connected gov industrialist would have occassioned.10 politically connected billionaires in a world poverty capital...more poor people than whole of India.There is no difference btw Sani Abacha and Dangote...both sucked Nigerian blood like ticks ..Abacha political type steal your gov revenues...Dangotes steal your savings... everytime you buy anything that uncompetitive political connected player impose on you...you're being robbed.I guess it okay if Abacha is black as blue just as Dangote in the Zoo messed up country of bonobos n baboons
