How about screenshots?

Here is Kano City as you land in Mallam Aminu International Airport. lol

These folks share lots of similarities with Tz cities.

This is Kano refugee camp not city!!!

As you can see, dear mod/s, I decided to share only two screenshots. Realize it could also have been worse had I shared more or the whole clip and let this one stand.

Hahaha exactly I wanted to show this sister called Nowenuse how evenly developed Naija is as he always claim.

Really bad. At least they should handle the truth. All you wanted is to open the eyes of the giant. We mean no malice.

Many refugees in Kenya would relate with Kano city.

rvp2018:
You must be an incorrigble idiot if you believe Innosen can manufacture even a bolt or a nut. I understand the pride & patriotic thing...but please if you want to talk about car manufacturing in Africa - start from South Africa, Morocco,Algeria, Egypt and land in Kenya.....not those idiots re-badging chinese cars and making you the butt of jokes. I mean if you issues that conman the certificate of origin you'd be damaging your country reputation - because other countries will demand to inspect it and it will never trust "Made in Nigeria". Okay what I am thinking...there is NO MADE IN NIGERIA thing anywhere.

Innoson exports his cars to several countries, I even heard Sierre Leone has had his cars for a long time now.. His factory has been inspected several times..

Meanwhile you keep doubting, Innoson is growing, as well as his exports.. sonn we'll see Innosn in Kenya... Infacts I almost want to make a bet with you that in 10 years there will be Innoson cars in Kenya

The Top Ten Countries For Investing In Africa

A new report published by the Rand Merchant Bank has revealed the top ten countries in Africa to invest in. The report talks of how the regional stalwarts have failed to adapt the prolonged slowdown in commodity prices and sluggish levels of production growth.

The top ten report on the most attractive countries to invest in shows some apparent omissions, notably Algeria and Nigeria. Significant improvements have been made by countries such as Tanzania, Ethiopia and Rwanda.

Here is the top ten list for the most attractive countries to invest in (ascending order):
1. Egypt

Egypt is now currently enjoying the cushy first position place, a place that was previously held by South Africa. Thanks to a diversified economy, large population, and a superior economic activity score, Egypt is the number one country to invest in Africa.
2. South Africa

Several setbacks have slowed down South Africa's GDP growth, but it still remains an attractive place for doing business. There has been regression in terms of institutional strength and good governance, but the country's overall economic scores have been strengthening on a yearly basis.
3. Morocco

For a third successive year, Morocco has retained it's same position. Talk of the country that placed its bid to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Since the Arab Spring, a vibrant operating environment has served Morocco well. So yeah, it's safe for you to go do business there.
4. Ethiopia

Okay, so here is the irony you may think of when you see Ethiopia mentioned in this list: The socio-political instability that plagues the country. Well, despite that, the country continues to register rapid economic growth rates, and boasts the largest economy in East Africa. Its market figures also boasts impressive figures. You could say that attracts a lot of business.
5. Ghana

Ghana has the fastest-rising economy in Africa, and thus makes the cut too for one of the countries to invest in. However, there have been lingering perceptions of worsening corruption and weaker economic freedom. Economic growth is picking up under the new political dispensation.
6. Kenya

Kenya is one of the best place to make investments in East Africa. Credit must be given to its diverse economic structure, pro-market policies and brisk growth in consumer spending, factors that attract investors.
7. Tanzania

Tanzania is making huge improvements in this regard. The anti-corruption drive in the country is a contributory factor thrusting Tanzania into the top ten. It has a good operating environment.
8. Rwanda

It's safe to say good economics have made Rwanda what it is now. The small East African economy continues to improve its business environment each year and is still one of the fastest-reforming economies in the world.
9. Tunisia

Tunisia completes the number of North African countries featured in the rankings. Tunisia is making some good improvements, and can even get to the eighth position.
10. Cote d'Ivoire

The country was also included as one of the fastest-rising economies in Africa. And for certain, business is coming to the West African country.

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?

Would you please show us the rockets Nigerians manufacture now that you look down on manufacture of creams?

rvp2018:
hahaha - baby steps - you mean you didn't have such - kenya have had all that for a very long time. Yes we inherited a very good industrial base from British. You got nothing. I see you even sell rubber but don't make tires.

What are you reffering to when you say you didn't have such?

Batteries or what... cuz those industries have been in Nigeria for a longgg time now... I think Nigeria was actually one of the more industrialized African countries at independence..

wizmikeee:
when I hear Nigerians say white ppl control and has been brain washed ppl of kenya, Ghana SAS and other countries without Nigeria other countries in Africa are useless. I laugh till my tummy hurts. The iphones, Internet , cars, oil dwelling machines, computer, dangote oil refinery was built by the white folks. Stop using them if ur economy you been bragging about every day can survive a second. illiterate mediocrity hypocritical stupidity ppl. As we talk now with country is most useless in Africa. thank God I'm not a Nigerian and. Africa knows you Nigerians talk big but empty like their empty brains. lol how can so called educated ppl elect an illiterate to be a leader how lol

DAMN!

nwoke39:
And for your info, Nnewi where his car manufacturing company is located is a huge car parts trading and manufacturing hub.. Everything from cables, car plastic, batteries, etc is made there..I don't want to be tribalistic here it's just that igbos are industrious.. the other tribes in Nigeria know this

We had a horrible civil that made many igbos poor so they wen into trading, from trading they went into manufacturing..

Also while you're stressing on Innoson, He plans to also manufacture the engines in Nigera in the next 5 years(count from 2016)
He also plans to go near 100% local content from the 60% he was doing in 2016



Like I said even Innoson admits it. He manufactures some parts in Nigeria and gets the rest from abroad

The fool doesn't know that the days of fully integrated car plants such as Ford's River Rouge factory have been over since the 70s. Most car companies now source their parts from Asia and eastern Europe. Please you've disgraced them enough. If not for the fact that we warned them not to post Möbius, they would have littered the thread with images of Möbius.

rvp2018:
Being acquitted in corrupt country like Nigeria count for nothing. Being actually tried for fraud in Nigeria count for something.

Let him show us the certificate of origin for his cars. The chinese found suckers in west africa - in functioning countries - they won't be allowed.

Let Nigeria stack their "made in nigeria" brand on those chinese models - and you'll know nobody will not take your seriously.

Like i said b4, ur argument is really biased... Even facts won't change your mind

If you notice, i try to balance my patrioticness with truth.. I admit sectors Kenya wherein is more advanced in than Nigeria... There's no use being patriotic about something false

Which Are Africa’s Most Competitive Countries?

Africa is known in the world as the continent of contrasts. Its population is particularly impressive with more youths than most other continents. But this also means that the people getting into the workforce on a daily basis are also numerous. This would require the continent’s level of development to keep up so as to provide opportunity to these youths.

There are certain countries that have made it a full-time job to raise productivity and competitiveness in their spaces. Some have in fact made it to impressive positions on the global competitiveness report. They have provided better facilities for the growth of their populace and helped them increase in knowledge and thrive as a result.

The following are the top 10 economies on the continent according to the global competitiveness index for 2017:

South Africa
Rwanda
Botswana
Morocco
Namibia
Algeria
Tunisia
Kenya
Cote d’Ivoire
Gabon

now scrapping the bottom of the barrel - my wife also manufacture biscuits at home.

His biscuits enjoy patronage on major foreign airlines like Lufthansa... What kenyan biscuit do major airlines buy??

In 2005, Yemisi Iranloye founded her cassava production company, Psaltry International Limited, with personal savings from marketing farm produce. Six years later, in response to market demand for processed cassava products, she expanded the business with the establishment of a factory in Alayide village, Oyo State. Demand for these high-quality cassava products among Nigeria’s manufacturing industries continues to grow due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and scarcity of imported grains such as wheat and barley, which make locally-sourced and readily-grown raw materials like cassava more cost-effective.

“Connection to the market has not been difficult because our product (food-grade starch) is a raw material used by the industrial sector and our quality is very high. It can be compared to quality anywhere in the world,” Iranloye explains. Large Nigerian companies such as breweries, pharmaceuticals and food processors use food-grade starch to manufacture their products, whilst confectionary and flour milling companies use HQCF as a cheaper alternative to wheat for incorporating into their sweet treats and flour. Since expanding, Psaltry International has become one of the largest starch producing companies in Nigeria with two production lines each producing 20–30 t of food-grade starch per day, amounting to 10,000 t per year.

Financial investment
Even with this scale of production, Iranloye is aware that demand for starch in Nigeria still outweighs her company’s current supply. However, investment from manufacturing companies is helping to address this shortfall. For example, after trialling the use of cassava starch in its brewing process in 2014, Nigerian Breweries Plc partnered with Psaltry International, and the International Fertiliser Development Centre (IFDC) under the Dutch-funded 2SCALE programme to improve the cassava value chain, and ensure a steady supply of high-quality cassava from within the country. Through the partnership, IFDC and the NGO trained Psaltry’s outgrower farmers to improve the quality and output of cassava, and as a result, Nigerian Breweries Plc is now the largest buyer of Psaltry International’s food-grade starch.

Nigeria’s national banks have also played a role in financing the company’s operations. Psaltry’s Alayide factory was built with funds from the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Commercial Agriculture Credit Scheme, distributed through FirstBank Nigeria. Two years later, the subsequent growth in the company’s profits enabled Iranloye to build a second factory.

Putting farmers first
According to Iranloye, Psaltry’s inclusive business model — based on sourcing raw material from smallholder farmers — is the key to the company’s overall success. In 2012, Psaltry began its first outgrowers’ programme by deliberately targeting smallholder suppliers and offering them higher prices to encourage subsistence farmers to expand and commercialise their cassava production. The programme’s success enabled Psaltry to expand its sourcing to other rural communities within a 50 km radius of the Alayide factory and increase the number of outgrower suppliers to about 2,000 farmers.

The Alayide factory was strategically positioned near to these smallholder suppliers to reduce post-harvest losses. Through her experience in the cassava sector, Iranloye had observed that when farmers transported their cassava over very long distances, the starch content could drop from 17% to 5% and tubers would often rot. The proximity of the Alayide factory to the farmers ensures that good quality, mature cassava tubers with high starch content are processed within 24 hours, avoiding unnecessary losses. The steady and reliable supply generated by these local farmers has allowed the company to maintain a relatively stable price throughout the year to undercut international pricing.

GPS monitoring
Busari Dauda, the Alayide village head, who has farmed cassava for 30 years, states that with the introduction of the outgrowers’ programme, “the first major improvement was the increase in my farm size from 2 to 20 ha in 2 years as a result of the services rendered by Psaltry. Currently, I have over 60 ha of farmland.” Psaltry has been able to support the growth of smallholders’ farms with help from a cloud-based app called Farmforce, which uses GPS technology to track outgrowers’ yields and monitor their needs in terms of extension services. The app can predict the yield and date of harvest for each individual farm, allowing Psaltry to oversee its supply. This data not only discourages farmers from side selling, but also helps them to obtain bank loans for planting material and inputs, such as herbicides and fertilisers, which Psaltry supplies at a subsidised rate.

To ensure the company receives its expected supply, farmers are required to sign a memorandum of understanding committing them to selling their produce to Psaltry alone and adhering to the company’s cassava quality standards before receiving the loan payment. However, to further increase outgrowers’ commitment, as well as their economic empowerment, Iranloye is keen to grow the shares that the outgrowers themselves have in Psaltry so that they collectively own 10% of the company.

Capacity strengthening
In addition to building the capacities of smallholder suppliers, Psaltry International concentrates on strengthening the capacity of its employees, which have more than doubled since 2013 to nearly 300–40% of whom are women. The company holds an annual staff training programme in partnership with Nigerian Breweries’ Training School at Ibadan, and technical training from Sino-Food Machinery has made it possible for Psaltry staff to carry out in-house factory maintenance to reduce technical breakdowns. At the management level, Stanford Institute for Innovation in Developing Economies Seed Coaches, provides strategic training for Psaltry staff. “In the last 17 years, I have received several trainings — training on entrepreneurship, on how to lead as a woman and in agriculture itself,” emphasises Iranloye.

foreigners(whites,indians) dominate big business in Kenya and South Africa while in Nigeria it's not the case... We weren't talking about whites and Indians owning businesses in Ghana... soooo

So what if Indians and whites dominate big business in Kenya and south Africa. Anthony Joshua was born in UK by Nigerian parents if I'm mistaken, but we talk about who dominating Britain boxing right now is Anthony Joshua does it mean the British are fools? Nigerians you need to start learning and stop celebrating the past and individual ppl

Do you know how absurd you sound right now?

Let me give you a clue. If you give an average Kenyan an Innoson car for free, he would immediately start looking for a customer to sell it to and buy a Toyota..................too bad he won't find any customer in Kenya for that.

That's why l have the example of larfrage in Nigeria, they once dominated too, they had the head start but today it's lbeto to the East and Dangote to a large part of the country. Larfrage is still there but the Nigerians are playing the game in a big way too.This is not about oil money, it's about having people who believe themselves and who want to make it big.

Lafarge isn't as big as it used to be in Kenya either. It's embarrassing though for a country of 190M to only speak of one person as if he owns everything over there. It would be understandable if Dangote was Rwandese.
