It dead on arrival.
Kenya has to pursue east africa strategy.
We focus on getting Ethiopia - we create 500M people market.
You can keep Africa Trade in Accra.
Ecowas doesnt even work. How will you make Africa free trade work.

Its only kenya that has been pushing for it - as it only africa country to trade 50 percent within africa.

Dead on arrival.

The logistics alone are crazy - what will work is Open Skies.

It wasn't a mistake , it was a contest between Accra and nairobi, but we know who took the shot at the end of the day. It is about soft power . Ethiopia already got africa union , rwanda is a nobody.


It will start when the rest of africa get ready to ratify their differences

I dont need to ask what my eyes can see. Ask for your medicine.

That area is far better than all of Nairobi...

You can ask pokuasi 😂🤣
He thought it was a first class residential area... Infact I myself was impressed when I went there last week by the level of development.... The mansions there, Nairobi will struggle to build

A Kenyan will consider himself lucky to live there

Slums as far as the eye can see.

Pokuase Interchange in Ghana vrs Belgrade-Surcin Interchange in Serbia.

Both interchanges were not built in the middle of the city but outskirts in order to control traffic in and out of the city.

It was a mistake to locate afCFTA in broke Ghana. You dont even know what need to be done to get it going. And you dont have what it takes. That should have been taken to Rwanda or Nairobi or Adis.

Ghana freely donated this building to Africa to host the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Ghana loves Africa....

If you want to know how Ghana finance many africa project , take a read from the Google and don't expect me to feed you.

As we wait for electric train from Tanzania - Kenya SGR is carrying 2.5M passengers btw Nairobi-MSA annually.

The ideas that we now take as standards & for granted - we have to thank the French Revoluton of 1789 - when french peasant overthrew their king Louis, killed almost all the french elite and then defined a system that was going to be FAIR to everyone. This was the watershed moment for humanity.

From ChatGP

The French Revolution had a significant impact on human rights and constitutionalism, both in France and around the world. Here are some of the key ways in which it influenced these areas:

Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen: The French Revolution produced a landmark document, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, which enshrined many of the principles of modern human rights. This document affirmed the equal rights of all citizens, including the right to liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression.

Constitutions: The French Revolution gave rise to a series of new constitutions, which aimed to establish more democratic and representative forms of government. These constitutions often incorporated the principles of popular sovereignty and individual rights, and served as models for other countries seeking to create their own constitutions.

International impact: The French Revolution had a profound impact on the development of international law and human rights. It inspired the creation of the International Committee of the Red Cross, which works to protect the rights of prisoners of war and other vulnerable groups. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations in 1948, drew heavily on the principles of the French Revolution.

Civil liberties: The French Revolution helped to promote the idea of civil liberties, including freedom of speech, the press, and religion. These freedoms are now widely regarded as fundamental rights in modern democratic societies.

Separation of powers: The French Revolution played a key role in promoting the idea of the separation of powers, whereby different branches of government have distinct responsibilities and are able to check each other's power. This principle has become a cornerstone of modern constitutionalism.

Two different concepts.
Democracy
Decentralization/Devolution/Federalism

China has devolved dictatorship by CCP.Thankfully it mostly run by meritocracy.

Democracy at core is what French Revolution gave humanity - Personal freedoms, human rights and equality. -Liberty, Equality, Fraternity - Liberté, égalité, fraternité

There is nothing like that in China. You cant say or do or etc what you want.

But again like I said - that has not stopped them from developing - because it has a well run devolved system of gov based on merit.

Like USSR before - you can have efficient dictatorship - that quickly industralized Eastern Europe.

Jerry Rawling in Ghana run such a system - but culled anyone who disagreed with him.

Rwanda is now example of such an efficient dictatorship.You know better in Rwanda than talk politics - right from the airport you're being watched.

Just40:
You're very dumb

China is not a dictatorship.... Infact it is the most decentralized country on this entire planet effectively govern from the very local of levels.
It has more political parties in it congress than both houses of the US combined

Or very strong federalism. Either another Sani Abacha or you allow States basically to act as independent countries like US - with federal gov in Abuja only dealing with foreign affairs.

Whatever is there is totally dysfunctional.

popizaino:
I have come to realise that this what Nigeria needs most but we are not ready for such conversation yet.

Refinery is great. The rest are waste of time.

Oga your brain is paining you . What about the world's largest single train refinery, the Largest free trade zone in Africa, The newest and the most advanced city outside of Egypt ( Eko Atlantic) and the rest? Was Rice mill the only thing you saw?
1- $25Billion Dangote Refinery Lagos, Nigeria Ready to Use
The cost of this project is far more than the cost of all projects in Kenya,and not even in Nairobi, and what makes it unique is that it is privately owned rather than being held by the government.

Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia and of course most of middle east are example of dictatroship that transition into proper developed countries - and eventually build institutions.

Dictatorship has nothing to do with development. China is good example of great dictatorship that has developed.

They are NOT mutual exclusive.

Yes of course democratic strong independent institution is great on its own but a country will not go down for lacking one.

Ghana is good example - Jerry Rawlings - eventually transitioned you back into democracy - from military dictatorship.

Rwanda has certain peculiarities that make democracy now and in the future difficult - as minority Tutsi at 10 percent - will simply be killed by 90 percent majority Hutus like happen in 1960s (sending Kagame to Uganda as small boy refugee) and in 1990s.

Rwandese Tutsi have to find a formula of democracy that will work for them - popular vote is an existential threat to their very existence - and Kagame & his successor are likely to have tight control of institution - just like Isreal has to deal with Palestine in Isreal using crude methos.

vaxx:
So many things wrong bro, A developed economy don't build just strong men but strong institution, with strong men , the development only last when they are alive or with the power but with strong institution, the development last forever.

Using libya as an example , Libya was already a fully developed country when Gaddafi was in power, Gaddafi was so strong , he made Libya achieved almost all the millinium goals development agenda set by UNO way back early 2000 but libya failed and become a third world country after gaddafi died, Assuming it was strong institution libya built, the development agenda will have continued like what we have in UK, germany and western power, No matter who becomes a leader , there exist a pattern of development every leader must follow regardless of who you are. What africa needs is strong institution not strong men who keeps holding on to power as long as they care.

Strong men only last for a limited time , strong institution last forever .

There is nothing worthy of progress in Rwanda , if you talk about neatness , do you mean clearing all the homeless children and placing them in concentration camp is the way to go? When we can gradually build a formidable economy to absorb them all. There is poverty in rwanda more than Benin republic, rwanda is only hiding it(Kigali is not just Rwanda , Even kigali is not a standard city that can measure up to cotonou) .

Even in the street of london there exist homeless beggers , they aren't put in concentration camp like rwanda kigali , the economy gradually absorb them and they gradually reduce and off the street .

Stop believing in propaganda, nothing works there .

Codein. Rice mill

68816419:
Lagos is arguably the African city that is developing the fastest.
The largest rice mill in Africa was launched some time ago, the world's largest single train refinery will be finished this year, and the largest free trade zone in Africa, the Lekki free trade zone, is also under construction. We also shouldn't forget about the Lekki airport, the 4 mainland bridge, and the Eko Atlantic

I have gone to kigali and deep into rural Rwanda. Rwanda is real. The question of whether it can outlast Kagame is poignant. The same fate has befallen Ethiopia and South Africa. Yes, strong institutions are important. Kagame has done excellent job. He just need to find a succesor like him to the mantle forward.

QuietMynd:
U re one of the few people that understand Rwanda, almost everybody that discuss Rwanda on the net always repeat thesame propaganda fed to them by kagame, if u want to see Rwanda in its true colour, use Google Street to tour Kigali urself.
I have many colleague in Rwanda, they tell me things re not the way the media shows

some kenyan drove all the way from Nairobi to South africa through Angla to Zoogeria. Last I heard his car broke down in Zoogeria in place without even cellphone connectivity. We pray for him.

Subsaharan:
where did your long legs take you to this time?

If only the Zoogeria could invest in basic infrastracture including security - breathtaking views

As I finalise the formalities, I ask about the route ahead.

Weeeeh 🙆‍♂️

You know when you really want to hear a good report but nothing is even closer. Actually one guy tells me "You will enjoy the views, fresh air but no the roads broda"

Ladies and gents, Welcome to Nigeria


The last pic is Nairobi - just to remind the zoo -

Nigeria customs office to clear vehicles. (If you zoom, you'll notice the signage)

THE ZOO!

Great leaders have a lifelong commitment to learning

Bill Gates

In the fall of 2008, I transitioned from being full-time at Microsoft to full-time at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. After decades of focusing maniacally on software, I finally had the time to get a better grounding in physics, chemistry, biology, and other sciences, which would help me in my work on health, education, and climate change. I was also curious about all these subjects for their own sakes. So, I looked around for the best science books and read as many of them as I could find. Weather for Dummies was one of 25 titles I chose:

Obviously the last three days you've refused to take your medication. No house can be approved in Karen without paved road.

Karen has the most powerful resident association - established in 1940s. For a long time, the min acreage was 5 acres - then 2 acres - now even 1/2 acre is allowed.

Obviously not a match for where I posted

https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/lifestyle/design-interiors/karen-makes-list-of-top-10-luxury-homes-globally--2208650
The lush suburb of Karen has been ranked in the top ten Luxury home hotspots in the ‘Wealth report 2018’ by Knight Frank.

Karen, home to some of the high-flying figures in the country including playing host to official residence of Deputy President William Ruto, former prime minister Raila Odinga, former vice-president Kalonzo Musyoka, a large expatriate population, as well as wealthy Kenyans being among high-end home owners, is ranked in the league of the global real estates giants like Potsdamer Straße, Kurfürstenstraße and Gleisdreieck in Berlin, Germany and Sant’Ambrogio in Milan, Italy.

Take you drugs then watch Karen - about 60km squared.

Fortunately this is not cantonment

I am yet to find anywhere in Kenya as good as this , what went wrong in Kenya?

That is fair. Sometimes you can be reasonable. Magufuli had right intentions - he was just a fool when it come to running a country. He was a guy who knew nothing about economy. Good intentions. But high school science teacher with limited economic knowledge.

Running a country requires someone to read and understand how many things work.

For me I consider the late Meles Zenawi the epithome of Africa leader. Kagame and Museveni come next. Sankara maybe. I was not alive.

All of the three never really read much as they went to war early - Meles left meds school to go fight - Museveni immediately after BA in Dars - went to the bush - Kagame I doubt has a degree- In kenya - Mboya was also self-read.

What is important these are very serious leaders who are very committed to life long pursuit of learning.

Ohoo I forget definitely Mandela and Khama of Botswana. Those are greatest leaders in sub Sahara africa.

Mandela, Khama, Meles, Sankara? - all dead

I would personally rank 1) Nelson Mandela 2) Meles Zenawi. These were African leader the rest of world including her leadership would stop, listen and admire their intellect and leadership.

Mandela wins for being such a rare globally acclaimed charismatic leader while Zenawi wins for having highest IQ an African leader has ever possessed.

Kids should be taught about these heros - not Kwames or Nyerere or Jomos - who later betrayed their country or messed up.

Kazikazi:
I know Kagame to be one of the intelligent folks around east Africa or Africa. But Ruto,I think it's too early to judge.I will give him 1 year to see what he have done or achieve

Best part of accra - cantonment - look again like middle or lower middle class estate

They are most serious leaders in Africa now - working 15hours daily - great thinkers - great executioners - great effective leaders. Magufuli with brains.

Kazikazi:
Best in what sense?

You have a long way to go in avacados. Kenya produces 300,000 - we just eat a whole lot of it. Those coming to TZ - were trying to beat the ban - imposed now on seasons.

Kazikazi:
[url][/url] You should thank Tanzania

Many kenya firms are coming to buy Tanzanian avos and do exportation.

But your joy will be short-lived. Air Tanzania is now bringing cargo planes plus we have gotten access into India and China,with U.S. on a waiting list.

Afterwards,we will close a tap,u won't get a single avo, then I will see how those numbers will fall like a ksh

Here is kandia fresh,the Kenyan company sourcing avos fronTS


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU5MKwH5oaY

That was Kenyatta and related families who had captured kenya industries. All those have been corrected.

TZ has gotten his license.

Uganda milk Latto are back in Kenya

Kazikazi:
Kenya is much worse on issues of protectionism. Ýou banned Ugandan milk,again you denied many Tanzanian businessmen a license to oparate in kenya. I remember this dude sometimes ago he told u guys how backward you are,denying him a space to expand his business into kenya.
But as usual,as we know,most Kenyans have been fed lies by their politicians. A LIE which says "Kenyans are hardworking, most foreign companies can't compete due to the harsh competitions from local companies " That is a big lie.

Here is the truth....

Of course I know but there is really no border - it contiguous.

Blitzkrieg254:
Bomet is the leading by a bigger margin.
Fanya more research.

Kenya climbing the avacado production fast.

List of countries by avocado 🥑 production in tonnes per year:

Mexico 🇲🇽 - 1,889,354
Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 - 601,349
Peru 🇵🇪- 455,394
Colombia 🇨🇴- 309,431
Indonesia 🇮🇩- 304,938
Brazil 🇧🇷 - 195,492
Kenya 🇰🇪- 176,045
USA 🇺🇸 - 172,630
Chile 🇨🇱- 137,365
China 🇨🇳- 122,942


Kenya now wants to double its avocado exports from Sh15 billion to Sh30 billion annually in the next five years after expanding its target markets globally.

In June last year, the country achieved its China market access and its initial shipments took place in July and August.

Avocado Society of Kenya (ASK) Chief Executive Officer Ernest Muthomi said there has been increasing appetite for avocado both locally and internationally, expressing optimism that its export base will increase to Sh50 billion annually.

Looks good.

This yesterday. IPPS havent been paid nothing despite the desperate attempt by ECG to collect debt. Where will you collect 1B dollars ?

And you broke gov cannot borrow.

Conclusion: Prepare for DUMSOR

https://www.myjoyonline.com/independent-power-producers-demand-payment-of-debts-or/
Independent Power Producers (IPPs) are demanding immediate payment of over one billion dollars owed them by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).

According to the IPPs, shutting down plants remains a viable option if debts are not settled.

ECG has in the last few weeks been embarking on an aggressive revenue collection drive geared at enabling it to raise the needed funds to run its operations and to settle its creditors.

Just40:
The same way you got a Bloomberg link, just use that se process and you'll see ECG mop up revenue while Ghana is fully powered

Lunatic rant 😂🤣

I ask for a link. Not long stories of a mad man.

Just40:
Yes and ECG has managed to kul them down by going on debt collection. No dumsor will happen here untill 2024 when Ghana will have fully consumed all of it surplus electricity.

Ghana does not use diesel for electricity, learn sense. And they don't have to pay for gas, they just have to owe Ghana Gas and ECG and govt will sort it out.😂

You're so desperate such that you can't even type properly..


Half of Kenya is still in darkness in this day and age while Israeli companies rip you guys off. 😂🤣

That article is last week. Any link to that breaking news where broke Ghanian electricity money paid 1.4B dollars. Prepare for dumsor as IPPS will shut down operation as they wont be able to pay for diesel or gas.

Just40:
Sorry it ain't going to happen

We are not in a bankrupt Kenya.

ECG effectively collected a lot of the debt owed it last week to pay a good portion of the debt it owe.

Next desperate dream 🤣😂

Maybe next year Ghana will start having power problems again because we will be close to 5,000Mw consumption

Latest news. Take your meds. The last two days I can see detoriation.

And prepare for BLACKOUT DUMSOR? - as your broke gov is now unable to pay for power generations.
