This folly of wasting billion dollar starting a town in middle of nowhere - where only federal employees call it home. Nairobi is economic magnet - and if it's choking - we will fix it - not ran to a desert somewhere in Northern Kenya - and spend so much money - building a new city - that is described as one worst cities to live or visit .

1/4 of money use to build that waste land of Abuja would have fixed Lagos problems. Now you got an empty town without a soul for gov officials - who visit there once in a while when they are going for federal cheques

Dude stop disgracing Kenya here, these type of businesses are in almost every country. Gosh.

Big discovery - those are kenyan indians - 3rd generation if you want to be specific - and that is beside the point - unless you're obsessed with race & tribe - those are kenyan built companies - ran by kenyans and employing kenyans - and they are just the tip of the iceberg. Nigerians you cleary don't manufacture anything.

Obviously there are tonnes of black Kenyan owned industries

For example: EABL main competitor is Keroche Breweries own by a Kenyan woman.

I don't know the guy unfortunately.How high can temperatures get in Kenya?

Yeah I'm going to accost my slaves with a whip so that we get there quicker

rvp20182:
:LOL: once again - you bring the predictable list of Nigerian "MANUFACTURERS". You guys cannot manufacture even a button. Those guys are just re-badging finished Chinese goods. You cannot manufacture military cars or computers. PLEASE - next you'll manufacture a nuclear sub-marine

If you were to trade with any country - no country would accept NIGERIAN CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN - what local content is in there - apart from the paint work & the badge

Maybe the cable thing - We got many of those - East Africa Cables -- that have factories all the way down to South Africa - owned by black kenyans.

Once again Kindly manufacture a button, make it your own brand and dominate west Africa - and then come & compare yourself with kenya - if you come and pull that nonsense in functional country like kenya - eti you can manufacture a armoured car when you don't even have a steel industry to manufacture iron sheets - you'll get slapped very punitive taxes,'

I know it an ECOWAS thing - some idiot in Ghana who is also a pastor - alleges to manufacture cars (Kantrara or something) - and therefore you've made huge mess of what manufacturing really out to be - therefore Nigeria CANNOT DEVELOP. If you were to trade with other countries...we will come there and determine the "local content" of the chinese finished goods that you re-badge and re-package & charge you taxes accordingly. More tragically nobody will ever trust a "MADE IN NIGERIA" - Certificate of Origin - so your industries will never develop!!.

rvp20182:
Okay one minute you say - all our industries are owned by "indians" - the next you cry here?

And please we are not talking Nigeria companies that re-badge chinese finished goods - we are talking companies that have built brands for many years - which is why conglomerate all over world - are buying them. Brookside by Danone. InterConsumer by Lo'real. Haco by Tiger Brands of South Africa.

Kenya industries dominate East, part of southern & even Central Africa. In COMESA which spans about 20 countries - Kenya is only second to Egypt. We just signed AFCT - and you should sign so we can sell you products made in kenya.

Beside if Nigerian had any decent goods - your supermarket won't be dominated by SOUTH AFRICAN brands.

There is a ship with bout 600 nigerians stranded in the middle of mediterranean sea. The italians with their nazi-gov have said they dont mind if the die there, so is malta. Hopefully they send food and water. If they let them die, then the new world order begins where africans are trash to let die like bugs.

NIGERIA, GIANT OF AFRICA, SAVE YOUR OWN PEOPLE.

Ghanian - I saw that - must have been some outlier - or some Nigerians pretending to be Ghanians.

rvp20182:
Nwoke,

Innoson like Ghana's Kataranka or something close to that --- are not car manufactures - and if they were to try sell those car outside Nigeria - won't get "Certificate of Origin". Those one rebadge chinese cars - let not argue over rather obvious things.

Now when you come to real manufacturing - Uniliver type - you're splitting the hairs - 200 or 250M is very little money. I can tell you Kenya's Bidco which rival Uniliver makes sales worth 500M USD (aiming for 1B dollars in next few yrs). It hard getting Unilver industries revenue in kenya (only Uniliver Tea is listed) but I can bet they also make more sales in Kenya than in poor Nigeria.


Now if all your big industries...Unilver/Nestle/PZ CUshon/...all combined are struggling to make 1B dollars...where will you get 39B dollars...for you to declare you manufacturing is 10% of 400/500B - over-cooked GDP.

Kenya which has more sophisticated manufacturing with homegrown companies like Bidco, Brookside, Mabati Rolling mills & many others along the agricultural value chain - are claiming 8B dollar worth of manufacturing -- while Nigeria stats office is over-cooking their nascent industry to crazy figures like they do to their yams & cassava!

Innoson motors has transformed into a continental business venture, with the Mayor of Bamako leading a delegation from Mali to the automobile manufacturing plant in Nnewi, Anambra State, to purchase about 400 vehicles.

Nigga, keep deceiving your selves, No company manufactures it content from one location, but they still tag it made in so so country, Nigerians business guys can actually manufacture all what these so called INDIAN KENYAN DO AND EVEN DO IT BETTER .
PLEASE READ MORE ABOUT THIS GUYS BELLOW.

mtis:
So true..An also internet access..Nowe an Oba guy uses bundles you now

nwoke39:
Notice that the mayor inspected the manufacturing plant before he could purchase the vehicles

Daejoyoung:
My man, brands of soap and body creams are in almost all countries by local business men, not just in Kenya or your small East Africa. l believe the Kenyans here are even ashamed. lf these brands are that big then why are they only in East Africa? Dominating the East African market and some parts of Central Africa is not a big deal. Nigeria has so many of her brands too, but isn't it shameful that you think this is an acheivement for Kenya.

Daejoyoung:
Why is it only the Kenyan lndians running things? where are the original Kenyans?

Daejoyoung:
To help you get my point, Nigerian brands and companies are so many. So it is strange to me that you are bragging about a few black Kenyans who manage to manufacture body creams, and yet you want to compare with Nigeria?

TayserMahiri:
running which things

Some me Nigerian brands that are rivalling Uniliver Nigeria - which of you companies say rivals Uniliver Omo's in detergent. Let start there. Then can a Ghanian name any 10 or so brands from Nigeria? How many are those Nigerian brands in super-market in Nigeria and regionally in ECOWAS - I am told NADA - Shoprite has to import tiger products from South Africa

Daejoyoung:
rvp2018 posted your top companies and they are all by the Hindi Kenyans, except for a few by the President, so I'm asking why this is so.

You mean informal traders operating kiosks and perhaps "manufacturers" re-packing chinese finished goods & selling them in their small pop & mom shops . That is what I know happens in Nigeria. You're not capable of building companies like BIDCO, HACO, INTERCONSUMER, BROOKSIDE - that can rival UNILIVER, PROCTER, NESTLE, JOHNSONS & PZ CUSHONS in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods - in EAST, SOUTHERN & CENTRAL AFRICA --soon West AFRICA.

Daejoyoung:
Even Ghanians themselves can testify of the number of Nigerian businesses and companies in Ghana.
lf you wanna know about Nigerian brands across West Africa, you can do your research, it's your homework, or other Nigerians here would help you, l just don't have the time to go into all that because it's not something hidden.

rvp20182:
We are talking about Kenyan industries - if you want we can talk about Hausa industries and declare Dangote is Hausa-Nigeria.

Daejoyoung:
Dangote is a black Nigerian man from Kano state. Hindu Kenyans are originally from lndia and they do not have the population of the original black Kenyans in Kenya, yet they own Kenya. lt's as ridiculous as having South Africans telling you whites in their land should always be on top of their business chain because the whites are also South Africans.
This is so simple to understand , l don't know why you don't get it.

TayserMahiri:
They should open up very soon the likes of Nowenuse need skin care products. Oba needs a facial facelift, lip reduction surgery and some dental work

rvp20182:
Yeap - now that Ghana have signed - we need to move to Ghana - and prepare all the bleaching products they'll ever need.Although I won't be excited about Nigeria - many companies who've gone there have been disappointed - but kenyan companies know how to sell to the bottom pyramid - Kadogo economy - they'll need very small doses sent to their shops - so they can afford.
