Yes what mad-man. 60K employee company would be one of world largest corporation. Here is Hawassa industrial park - mostly textile - only 18K employees - with capacity for 60K employees
Honestly I am yet to be impressed by anything I have seen in Nigeria and Ghana. Something is wrong in that sub continent.
Saddamochieng00: To say the truth Nigeria is nothing but a shame to this continent. This is a bitter truth and I know it's painful for most of them to admit it but it's the truth. Not saying that we got everything right for ourselves but at least we've done well for a country of "tea and flowers". Ironical that they mock our tea yet all of them combined in this thread can't afford an acre of tea plantation.
The problem is that when you criticize them they always think you're hating on them. Screaming out African Giant with no shame. This a product of the consistent brainwashing by the political class. So you have a whole generation of arrogant pricks walking around feeling as if they own the world. But look at their country is their anything to be really proud of. You'd expect this from people from rich countries like Luxembourg but no its the citizens of the shiitiest country on earth.
Nigerians can you please stop embarrassing us Africans.
I suspect their stats office mistakenly googled Lagos Portugal for Lagos in Makoko - apparently they export 3B dollars worth of ships and helicopter spare parts . Like their fake agri sector - that places them 3rd in ship building after China and South Korea
kikuyu1: Haiyyeeee! Mzee you may be wrong. The indigenous ship building in Makoko and Lekki is on par with ANYTHING in Spain. BEHOLD! The building processes are BOTH world-class and the end results are IDENTICAL, as even Stevie Wonder can see.
theenchanter: our carpet and rug section of textile industry alone employs more than the 52,000 people ur EPZ employed.... We export rugs, carpets and synthetic grass overseas.
That's just a section. What's huge over there in kenya is miniscule here.
The 52,000 people employed in our textile industry celebrates - and so does the kenyan economy. I know for the gigantic mess that is your country - the best you can hope for now is OIL - and maybe Import Substitution. You're still some years away from exporting anything real - maybe helicopter jets and steamship like your fake data shows - is exported to Spain - who believe that?
theenchanter: the problem with u is that little things seem gigantic to u or whenever kenya breaks a little ground, u always think it's d end of d world.
Who in pete's name celebrates making of t-shirts and shorts or boxers in this modern day if not u?
Unless they found use of the cowdung - I doubt Abuja has any industrial base - that would rival Mombasa - leave alone the entire Kenya
68816419: Nigga,Don't u know that Abuja's industrial areas is far bigger than what you have in Kenya . And do u also know that Abuja's IGR is far bigger than Mombasa and Nakuru IGR?
Nobody want to invest in a city of gov employees and cattle - Abuja need to find something else - maybe the diplomatic city of West Africa? . Yes I can understand having industrial-commercial city like Tatu or Northland. Or a Technopolis like Konza. But a city that is just federal gov employees and fulani cattle roaming on the streets?
68816419: Why? wont u like to have a city like this?
Those figures were half results; Kenya earn about 1.5B dollars from tourism.
Kazikazi: While you are busy coming to borderline and showcase Tanzania's mount Kilimanjaro and mount meru, The same tourists u try cheating are busy coming to Tanzania and you remains with empty pockets

Semenya is what sex. And why isn't he allowed to run as woman anymore. It like saying there are only two races - black and white - while human races as shown by genetics is a continuum.
jln115: although I agree that LGBQT should be legal the bolded is utter trash spread by the radical left.
Ethiopia doesn't beat kenya in textile - maybe in Shoes only. Kenya exports nearly 500M of mostly textile to US under AGOA - i think we beat Lesotho and Madagscar now.
tylann: Iam disputing nothing Kenya manufacturing beats Ethiopia as simple as that
Ethiopia is closed economy - the moment they open up - kenya companies will overrun it. As for being manufacturing hub - that is very funny. They started manufacturing recently. Kenya is a regional giant on nearly all sectors.
Austine1212: Lol but you know flowers are not east African thing that's why you export it to europe
Austine1212: Ethiopia gdp is almost 100b you not controlling anything here
When Nigeria says the control things its true. They 450b the second largest in their region is 70b. Even the level of investment in that region speaks for itself
You 101 Ethiopia is almost 100, you not controlling
Kenyans speak upper class British English. This due to settlement of mostly upper class Brits in Kenya. South Africans speak lower/middle/common class British English because Brits of all classes settled there in large numbers - so common English accent is more common in South Africa.
The reason is historical... In fact, the East African Protectorate(Kenya) is claimed to have attracted more peers and members of the upper classes than other colonies (Nicholls 2005:57).
The difference - btw Southern Africa English and Kenya English - I'd say is heavy British accent in Southern Africa - while Kenyans try to remove all accents and pronounce words "right".
Tayser: The variety of English you speak is British, since they colonised you, same to kenya...as opposed to Filipinos who speak the American variety. Dont confuse that with accent. The accent is always south african or Filipino. We were saying that your accent is very heavy , too heavy infact that you need foreigners, Kenyans especially, to broadcast internationally on your proud behalves
Do you know N3B useless Naira is not even 10M dollars. In 2019 - Nairobi-Mombasa passenger services alone was worth 50M dollars.
The least you speak about Airline the better for you.
68816419: Nigeria Airline Industry is dominated by private players such as Airpeace, Arik,Azman and the rest, and all these firms are making huge profits and flies same locations as your dead KQ, same applies to our rail sector
You sound embittered. KQ is still on of Africa biggest Airline - after SA went down - it's only 2nd to Ethiopia Airline in Sub-Sahara Africa. Nobody knows about Airpeace crap outside of Nigeria
68816419: @RVP: Kenya Airways pre-tax losses deepened to KSh13 billion ($120 million) for the year ending December 2019 despite increasing passenger levels and revenues , its full-year 2020 revenues drop by bet 60 billion shillings ($555.30 million) and 70 billion shillings, higher than its previous estimate, your over priced rail programs is also making losses and may never generates profits .You guys fake almost every figures to boast your egos and attract investors, u fake figures in the Retail industry, Tourism, Aviation, Agriculture.... Indeed Uhuru is worst president ever in Africa, You borrow huge sums of Money only to build loose making ventures and put Kenyans in massive debts ?
SGR Kenya - nobody expected it would be profitable soon - but you can see it's approaching the breakpoint
For instance, between January and May last year, the cost of operating the SGR was Sh7.5 billion compared to the Sh5 billion that was realised in revenue.
The cost of running the SGR was the highest in 2019, hitting Sh18 billion against the Sh13.5 billion in revenues generated for the year.
In 2018 and 2017, the cost of operating the SGR far much outweighed the revenue.
In 2018, Sh14 billion was used to run the project against Sh5.5 billion that was generated.
Between June and December 2017, Sh7.5 billion was incurred in operational costs against Sh1 billion in revenue.
Living in dictatorship like TZ is hard - Minister of Finance - clearly suffering - has to deny like everyone in TZ that he has COVID-19. Doctors are not even allowed to mention COVID - because the president declared the country healed after praying for 3 days
This and Kokota airport are the only pictures that show all is NOT lost in the golden STOOL backwater. I see a lot of flags - is that hotel or gov residence.
When you have a diversified economy - kenya exported more flowers last year than ever.
It seems that in times of crisis, more people want to express their Red heart with flowers, too: This February, our #Swissport colleagues in Nairobi, Kenya, handled 10% more roses Rosethan in the same period last year.
Theories compared to 80% community land ownership Anybod can spin nonsense but the facts are stubborn; You remain a communist backwater.
vaxx: Your country is largely rural because you are villagers, the few city land that are available are shared by Persia traders and your kleptocrazy government who owns about 70 percent of your land and live the unproductive one for you villagers to drabble on.
Your rural living lifestyles is associated with your high unemployment.
