Even basic like GP karting - is beyond west african mind - stick to football; that only sport you can do; kenya is advanced country

This is beyond your nigeria brain. Kenya has long history of motor racing, superbikes, bicyle racing, horse racing, with leagues and name it.

Uganda tries to copy kenya - otherwise it South Africa and Zimbwabwe

He already ran away with his tail between his thighs. Subaru

Uganda has some respectable motor racing...I know this too much for your west african backward brain. Assembling a few BMWS is not motor racing.

1) When it come to motor racing - kenya is far ahead in Africa - South Africa come 2nd.
2) When it come to bike (motorcross) racing - kenya is also far ahead but South Africa come top
3) Biycle - you well Know FROOME learnt racing in kenya.

These are sports that happen every seasons in kenya like you got football.

This is NOT IDLE WEEKEND by some people exhibiting their old second hand BMWS or Ferraris.

How will Uganda compare to our bike levels when Kenya couldn't?

After making a fool of yourself with the racing car noise and running away, you want to talk about bike too?

You don't know what you're talking about. Maybe Ugandans can talk motor racing; This is embarrassing even for a mad man like you.

Your obsessions are real


In Ghana, we dont use those cheap cars you are mentioning.

Our boys use BMW and Mercedes, Lamborghini and Ferraris, McLaren and audi, golf and Nissan GTR, Dodge Hellcat, Porsche, Alfa Romeo and etc.

Cars with between 600 and a 1400 pound feet of torque
We are talking about proper racing car and you are here mention 1993 Subaru?
Madness is doing you
I can bet, there are no proper racing cars in kenya.

Kenya Subaru petrol heads. Kenya with long history of WRC safari rally has long tradition of car racing - Subaru still remain the first car for many. Mostly because Subaru release their WRC edition for public - with turbo and all that - next would be Mitsubishi Evos.

Lol accra: and racing; to where; Juju gods; Most kenyans grew up when easter was the Safari rally - the biggest and toughest car racing event in the world (there was no dakar rally then) - and nearly every kenyan grew up wanting to own a racing car - then it was Subaru WRC edition, Toyota Celica, VW Golf and of course Mistubishi EVOLUTION. Then it was competion btw Japanese and Europeans with maybe Ford once in a while.

Ghana - racing cars Man - South Africa admire Kenya when it come to racing.

Kenya young kids mosty start by buying either Subarus Impreza or VW GOLF edition or Mits Evolution for rallying - Toyota seem to have given up.

Obviously the Ferraris and Lamborghinis - are luxury cars - mostly now interested in F1 - with Mclaren and the likes.

I CAN BET THERE IS NO SINGLE RACING CAR IN GHANA. Dont think racing car is just any type of crap...first the iron cage inside there to protect the driver is serious worker...the shock absorbers world class...you cannot drive 200kms on rough road on normal tires or shock absorbers.

IN Africa - its kenya then down down down to South Africa - and maybe in even Zimbabwe and Uganda.

Dont think this small event - this is World Racing Event

Vlain:
Thika is predominantly 8 lane(about 85-90%) and a few section(< 10%)is 12 lane. This in Abuja is 10 lane .

Classic oxymoron. WB didn't not just conjecture data...they have explained their methodology...and this based on empirical data. South Africa I keep telling you has a failed education and health care system. Of course it does have word class part to it ....but the majority of blacks...are emerging from schools...slightly better than Ghanians....and health-wise - HIV-AIDs has wrecked them.

obaaderemi:
Oga, go and sit down. You don't know the meaning of Oxymoron. Stop saying rubbish like the idiot you are.
A person can't be an oxymoron. Even if a person personifies an oxymoron, how is that a bad thing. Meanwhile an oxymoron is just a figure of speech, eg... Bitter Sweet.... and such.

Back to the issue- people no longer swallow line hook and sinker what the WB says. I know Togo very well and there's no way a study that places Togo and South Africa together as equals in terms of hci can go unquestioned.
We are talking about South Africa and Togo, not South Africa and Kenya, but in your desperation you keep telling us what you are doing in Kenya. Why don't you tell us about Togo?

And you even went as far as equating Togo and Ghana. Well, that's between you and just30.

We really can't tell how far lower they could go . I think their score was 320 or lower - while countries in OECD and likes of China - do about twice that.

The average ghanian kid is just as dumbo as our friend here.

https://www.pulse.com.gh/ece-frontpage/poor-education-ghana-ranked-last-in-global-school-ranking/f4qwd0x



Rmbr,on ToT we saw their kindergarten (mis)education. Imagine the net GDP gain if their kids had basic skills!

The Global Educational ranking that placed Ghana at the bottom of 76 nations in Science and Mathematics, was based on a 2011 Data, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, Education Minister said on Tuesday.Other countries in the lowest ranks together with Ghana were Oman, Morocco, Honduras, and South Africa which were ranked 72, 73, 74 and 75 respectively.

Youre worse than South Africa...worst ever...in TIMSS.

Just30:
your kind can't even add 2 to 2

I wish, putting together a sentence in English was a measure of intelligence but it's not.

Math is universal

Marking scheme of course changes with questions every year. The grading system - what constitute an A or B or C or division 1 or 2 - is normally moderated to achieve a normal curve - sort of predetermined pass and failure rate . You're just too obtuse.

Ghana cannot produce nothing world class.

You graduate when they go abroad - have to basically dump their previous papers in the sea - and start on a new clean slate - go back to school - and learn everything.It like Nigeria.

Educational outcome we are talking about is not a Ghanian who go abroad - redo - everything and excel. It's homegrown kid from your basic to university who excel without stepping out of Ghana.

Just30:
you are really dumb

Exam moderation has nothing to do with changing the marking scheme or not. Go and learn more.....
So tell me why Kenya was messing up with marking schemes.... was it that desperate to end mass failure?


Yeah let's stick to what the outcomes are

A better educational system will never have mass failures on the levels that exist in kenya.
The Ghanaian educational system produce world class expertise in all field from nuclear science, to medicine onwards to engineering and tech.

Something that the kenyan educational system can't match

That puts WASSCE above KCSE the other useless one

The ones we have seen here can barely string together a sentence in English.

Just30:
The Ghanaian educational system create world class human resources that can compete worldwide in all fields of specialty they choose.

Look here slowpoke. Exam moderation is done to ensure that normal curves is reflected - that means the marks/grades varies year to year. In kenya we do not do that. Not anymore. We keep it constant. An A is the same - even if exams were a tad difficult or candidate weaker. So we have many failures because gov has refused to keep changing the normal curve....this deliberate policy to ensure kids study hard.

As for west africa's useless WASSCE. - let stick to World Bank and such comparison.

Your word really count for nothhing.

Just30:
The is nothing like normal curve in exam outcomes because each year, the curve varies.

Here is my lecturer reply.
https://medium.com/edwell/how-kenya-became-the-strongest-education-system-in-africa-70cdc72024c4

Before even this WB report

2017, the World Economic Forum rated Kenya’s education system as the strongest on the African continent. In 2018, the World Bank ranked Kenya the top African country for education outcomes (1st out of 43 mainland countries). In 2019, a Kenyan was named the most outstanding teacher in the world and awarded a prestigious $1 million prize.

Just30:
Lunatic

Go and give it to a lecturer in Kenya to explain it to you.

I knew you won't understand what exam moderation is - and what normal curve is - and hello - kenya has highest HCI scores in Africa - by far. Kenya kids badly taught

If kenyan kids sit for that WESSCE thing of yours - all the top 1000 positions will be kenyans

Just30:
Its because of terrible kenyan education, that is why you can't read clauses to understand.


I wonder what you mean by not moderated and moderated, again, let me repeat what Obaaderemi told you.... "dont throw about English words you dont understand".


Sorry, it's only in barbaric countries that teachers get killed for exam outcomes.

Kenyan kids are badly taught and the result is what we see from you.... bad at math, Science, English, Engineering and Tech.

Madman what exactly are you trying to say

Just30:
No one invest in HCI


You are a confuse kid. All the countries you are trying to compare Kenya to, spend more per child in both education and health.
Hence why SA, Ghana and Nigeria have more productivity than Kenya.


Resources is not what makes a person productive, it's the grooming and the available opportunities.

This explains why Kenyans are so poor despite a huge arable land that remain fallow because kenyans are not smart enough to acquire irrigation technologies.

Despite all the natural resource in Kenya, the country cannot even afford to carry out geological surveys.

Kenya does not invest in it human capital and that is why the country lack critical experts needed to run it.

The first part don't make sense. That is an indictment of the Ghana education. I guess you went for afternoon track. You cannot communicate.

The 2nd part - Kenya exams are not moderated - they were times they were moderated to achieve a "normal curve" but not anymore.

Most exams worldwide are moderated to get that normal curve. Normal curve mean an A could be go as low as even 50 percent...so even if exam is done in worst country...you get normal pass rate....now in Kenya an A is an A so kenya kids will fail - because it expected same standard of exam would apply to say kids in Finland or Japan...an A is 85 marks...if nobody get it...too bad..it will not be moderated to get a normal curve.

I hope with your poor Ghanian education you understand normal curve and moderation of exams.

Kenyans take exams seriously - and has historically does that - teachers can even get killed for school underperformance. Kenyan kids definitely study harder than most countries in Africa....at least the one I know.

Just30:
It is base on averages that a person will readily pick education in south Africa over education in Kenya, because of the world class graduate SA schools produce.

You are talking as if Kenya kids are not massively failing in schools. How does that even happen?

You personify an oxymoron - I would have called you a slowpoke but here you're a rare specimen. Togo and Ghana are on the same plank and south africa...under performing. The methodology is solid.. HCI..is based on solid emperical data...maybe they are few outliers..but generally it cannot help Nigeria at the bottom of any index out there.

What will help Nigeria is facing her's problem head on. The myriad of problems.

Kenya we keep telling you is very progressive country - a country that is largely semi-arid and barely any minerals or natural resources - and yet does better by African standards - and is clearly a regional north star - is to be admired.

If you were not so obtuse - you'd have realized - that kenya without 2 million barrels a day of Oil like NIgeria or Gold like Ghana or arable land - is able to achieve this thanks to it's investment in HCI.

And it no doubt not only World Bank - but many others have noticed - Kenya very impressive HCI scores. For how else would you explain Kenya impressive progress ? No natural resources? Human resource.

Kenya high quality of education and it's outcomes have been praised and recognised long before WB thought about HCI index. Heck Airtel/Zain had to cancel their African show coz kenya teams won nearly everything from quarters.....except for a fluke by Ibandan in one year.

For example - this not World Bank.
https://www.biznews.com/africa/2018/03/05/south-africa-kenya-education-schooling

To get a sense of Kenya’s historical overperformance, consider the 2007 results of standardised tests for sixth graders conducted by the Southern and East African Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality. Kenya’s average score was 557 points. That’s well above South Africa’s average of 495 points. Kenyan children’s basic literacy and numeracy skills were stronger than South Africa’s.

obaaderemi:
Your bovine character always shines through, doesn't it?
If you still believe data from world institutions are infallible then you know next to nothing, especially with what covid19 has taught us.
And I thought we were talking about South Africa and Togo, not South Africa and Kenya. You are desperate.

And yes if you picked a random child in Nigeria to read in English or do basic maths, they can.

And finally, a person can not be an oxymoron. Don't throw English words around like a slowpoke, please.

Study the law of averages. That may help you. Otherwise South Africa has a world class part of it - and the part - where the KwereKwere are killing Nigeirans and Somalis for stealing their jobs...a typical Somali has no schooling except Islamic basic education of Koran in Madrassa...and yet a typical Somalis is better than a typical South African.

South Africa outside western cape and outside the seggrated enclaves in cities; it a hell hole. A kid in Soweto doesnt receive the same education with a kid in Sandton.

In a place like a kenya - you find a kid in Turkana competing with a Nairobi Kid. Nigeria obviously is messed up..Northern kids are in BOKO HARAM western education is evil movement.

Just30:
what's with all these conjectures and plenty of talks..?

Any country that utilises its Human resource will not have the kind of poverty and unemployment in Kenya.
That country will also have a higher per capita production and productivity.

The list is based on assumptions and not reality.

Kenya is not a match for SA in education or health care, SA has one of the best educational systems on the continent and the number of foreign students trooping there is a testament to their standards.

The advance medical treatment happening in SA that can not be found in Kenya is a testament to their level of healthcare provisions.


Now you can continue with your mediocre write up

It more like USA - black Americans education is totally messed up if not absent - it almost a misnomer to find blacks getting to good universities without affirmative action.

kikuyu1:
True. All my cousins who've studied down South are shocked at the quality of most of their Black Saffas colleagues, be it STEM or arts courses. We're talking of Wits/UCT/Western Cape and Rhodes 94 to date . They routinely struggle with the basics! We can agree to disagree on AIDS/HIV, though.

You're a typical oxymoron. Don't argue about empirical data. Argue about your understanding or interpretation. You think WB just randomly place countries? Kenya and South Africa have been assesed on educational outcomes...for many years...for example SACMEQ since 1990s..and Kenya kids...randomly sampled...outperform South Africa kids..nothing complicated...just basic reading and writting at a certain level. Of course you have literacy by UNESCO...that bit like can you understand general English...but we are talking a little more serious here....can a Nigeria kid randomly picked be able to read a paragragh in English and understand or do basic maths.

obaaderemi:
No way! This explanation is not tenable. If we go by UN stats, life expectancy in South Africa is higher than in Togo. SA 63. Togo 60 years. Literacy level in SA is 87% while in Togo it's 62% even lower than Nigeria. Let's not talk of poverty level. I told you we know Togo very well, its people are economic migrants in Nigeria. There's absolutely no way you can mention that country and South Africa in the same breath in terms of human capital index.

And there's absolutely no way Nigeria can be at 0.36 except when the enumerators factor in terrorism in northern Nigeria which most of them assume affects the whole country like it affects the north.
Nigeria has not done well over the years, especially with the current government but it's not as bad as the media make it.
