You cow, Covid-19 limitation only caused Obudu to be abandoned; it has since been lifted, and even the well-known Carnival in Calabar was abandoned as a result of Covid-19 restriction.

rvp2018:
You cannot afford shoes. Bata is global company. Fatima runs her thing and she is queen. I should also come and become a king...sit my bum on the golden stool and excrete golden stool. That Briton who threatened to sit on the golden stool unless he is given golden bars is a legend.

rvp2018:
I make my living as software engineer - and maths is an essential skills. I roll numbers out of my mind. You have to get a calculator to compete with my mental maths. The come and proclaim he is wrong

Like I told you Obaboon - I was a math savant growing up. The entire primary school use to sit back and marvel at my mental maths abilities...and by high school..I was nicknamed computer...and I hadnt even seen a real life computer.

We have better shoes companies
Bata was just a useless brand selling shoes that no one will wear.

Fatima is an employee in a Ghanaian company just like most Ghanaian companies who have given employment to other Kenyans.
Horseman and the rest

The whole calabar thing is depressing. My friend why dont you visit kenya or south africa or botswana - and study tourism. You think investing billions in shitty show will attract tourist.

Calabar has decayed. I have seen that ranch - it decayed completely. You want to close it down - any bad review is multiplied.

There are countries that I have seen tried - Uganda for example - from war zones - now tourist love it - in some years they beat kenya.

Dont waste money building vanity ranches with vanity shiet shows - gov should focus on their job - allow private investors to come in.

Let a white dude come and set up what fellow white people will like - who told you they want a cattle ranch. Maybe they want to see monkeys? Do you know how much they pay in Rwanda to see Chimpanze? More than 1,000 usd.

But you will likely kidnap the white dude.

Focus on basics. Elect a gov that is serious. see your banking sector...it can be done. Suffice to say no tourism will happen in Nigeria when risk of kidnap is high than seeing a snake. Ghana can try

rvp2018:
Only those two - and they appear like newbies?

You work as a software engineer, but you were unable to free your fellow Black Kenyans from enslavement and from white, Asian, and Nigerian supremacy in startups. You software engineer are such a waste of space.
Can we examine any of your projects if you are actually a full stack developer so that we can compare our work? I at least have experience deploying certain IT solutions in Kenyan industries.

68816419:
Why should we imitate Kenya when we have a higher tourism revenue than Kenya?. Do you even understand what that means?

Just40:
there are as many as 20 shoe companies producing as many as 2 million shoes

rvp2018:
I formed my first startup with two white men and one kenyan lady in 2006. You were probably in primary school.
I dont know what you do in Nairobi.
I think Nairobi has vibrant tech ecosystem they dont need anyone coming in except if they are linking them with silicon valley.
I was 24yrs when I formed my first startup - I needed the white guys for finances.
Now I dont know what you deploy in Kenya industries - I have really limited experience working with kenya companies.
I have generally worked for global companies or international organization.
I have always thrived to earn in dollars.

rvp2018:
What are the 30million Ghanians wearing. I assume one shoe per year.

68816419:
This guy fit lie for Africa , Oga, Who is lying to whom? You founded your first startup when you were 24 years old, so why is your name not on this list?

Just40:
Go to bed you have nothing to say

This is not Kenya where you guys are used to those synthetic nonsense and rubber stuff

rvp2018:
So 32 millon Ghanians wear 2 million shoes per year - even if it's made from horse hooves that is something

Just40:
so 60 million Kenyans import just 6 million pairs of shoes per year?

Now I understand why kenyans can't afford shoes and walk barefooted

rvp2018:
Because you know a lie when you see one unless you're a dumbo.

68816419:
Oga, we don't need to fabricate evidence to support our claims; we are aware that Nigeria performs poorly in terms of site tourism . but when it comes to cultural tourism, religious tourism, Entertainment tourism and even corporate tourism. Nigeria is a king.
Also, do you have any idea how many Kenyans or other East Africans will travel to Nigeria this December for a variety of religious events? Additionally, how much will they spend on flights, hotels, and other expenses while there?

rvp2018:
Kenya produces about 40 percent of it shoes consumption..that was 8 million pairs out 40m five year ago...now should well be 45-50m shoes

Five years ago

Local demand for leather products exceeds supply providing an opportunity for investors to tap into this need. The industry’s production is only able to meet approximately 40 per cent of the domestic demand having supplied just 8.1 million pairs of shoes out of the 40 million pairs demanded by the market in 2017. This demand is projected to grow to 46.8 million pairs by 2021, signaling great opportunity in value addition.

Just40:
sorry to burst your bubble..
Your country does not produce shoes of significant quality hence spend 770 million dollars importing 6 million pairs of shoes.

Next assuming

black Kenyans you guys are nothing
These Are The 12 Most Funded Startups in Kenya

I just looked at The 12 Most Financed Startups in Kenya, and none of them are truly owned by Black Kenyans. In fact, Nigerians actually control Kenya's tech industry, as evidenced by the ownership of the highest funded firm in Kenya (CELLULANT) .

rvp2018:
We are very rich if we can buy each shoe for 128,000 dollars. This makes us the richest nation to ever exists.

Just40:
good luck

It is more like a forex smuggling scheme .... This is how your country lose 6 billion dollars yearly in outflows

rvp2018:
I got a job with Ken Njoroge - he was CEO of 3Mice - as university student.
They were building websites. Those days you could get 10 million Kshs to build websites - html mostly.
I didn't take the job - I decided to go elsewhere - ended up working for UN.
Anyway, Ken met with Nigerian- and later started Cellulant.
I dont know if M-pesa had started - but Ken was very ambitious
Obviously, everyone knows Cellulant is Ken Njoroge ...not NIgeria.

If I recall the Nigerian was working for world bank in Nairobi

rvp2018:
We didnt have list;
There were no venture capalist.
There was no silicon valley for Africans.
These are small boys swimming in money.
We had to boostrap our resources.
We started literally in the garage.

These kinds of startups started less than 10yrs ago.

Now things are easy beezy

rvp2018:
No, it's more like you should go back to grade 1 and learn basic arithmetics. For a country to import 770m worth of shoes - they must wear golden shoes, sit on golden stool and dsheit golden stool.

68816419:
crap

Just40:
Focus on curbing the massive forex smuggling in Kenya that cause you to lose 6 billion dollars yearly through dubious schemes like this... Your central bank says it gave 770 million for shoe import and your country only imported 6 million pairs.


Kenya has the highest forex outflows on the continent and it all has to do with the fact that Indians and Chinese own everything in your country so the have to repatriate that much money yearly

rvp2018:
Mad man..take your meds. The redundancy is starting. It's downhill from here.

rvp2018:
It was hard but we didnt have to sell equity and most of us succeeded. Now they fail almost 99 percent.
It easy but also hard to survive because of easy money

68816419:
My concern is that, while black Nigerians own 99.9% of startups companies in Nigeria, there are not a single black Kenyan on the list of the top startups in Kenya. why is it so?
