Which 3B dollars annually worth of ship and boats do you export smiley. At 3B - you'd be 3rd after South Korea and China smiley smiley smiley
And you also export jets, helicopters.
Please your country data is just for doddy like anything Nigeria.

You only export Yahoo! Yahoo! after Oil.

Vlain:
A little research will save U from embarrassing urself.

I give helped U with inflating Ur figures.ur total export in 2019 wasn't even up to $6bn.let not even forget Ur unbalanced deficit books. Also we expect a decline from 2019 figures when 2020 data is ready. Thanks to covid19 that hampered trade access nation.

Do the simple arithmetic urself.

What does Nigeria export outside cocoa and shrimps?
Vlain:
Yes and that is still below. Nigeria's non oil export.

Yes - if we were to build 0.5Millions unit of housing, get proper light rail, fix the few remaining roads and fix water issues - we will be Africa premier city - streets, carbos, etc - those are the icing.
Shma2020:
precisely. Nairobi needs to focus on roads and streets, we're good enough to compete with jorburg when those two have been fixed.

South Africa are scared because their main city Joburg is dying (outside Sandton) while Nairobi is fast catching up - in nearly all aspects.
Shma2020:
stop talking like a zombie shackman ;.

Nairobi has taller skyscrapers in africa and you're here crying about highrises! you think we're bongolala nation where no single project of skyscraper is going on?

Nairobi will be the home for the tallest skyscraper in africa, tallest apartment in africa, and of course ultra modern road(best road in africa outside SA)
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rvp2018: 1:51pm On Jan 08, 2021
No, you were an LDC - and were entitled a lot of 'privilege's' that poor countries are - including favorable trade agreement, favourable lending terms, debt forgiveness and of course donations/grants.

Now that you're out of LDC - prepare to behave like Lower Middle Income Country - because you'll now be treated differently.

Yes I understand the need for a country to protect infant industries - but it cannot be blanket blocking of trade. You can say in this sector - say kenya has issues in Sugar - you get exemptions to protect infant industries - but not live stone-age and protect your little economy.

Also even if you have the best trade deals - if you're lazy - it useless. Without kenya buying your agricultural input - you'd probably be stuck with them.

Under AGOA - US allows Africa duty free entry of nearly 2,000 types of items - Tanzania has exported almost zero.

Kenya is leading - if you remove Oil that Nigeria/Angola export under AGOA.

The same with EAC. Kenya is also 3rd in COMEA after South Africa and Egypt.

And I expect definitely Kenya to be 3rd in AFCFA - after again South Africa and Egypt.

Mzal3ndo:
I will tell you why.
Since Magufuli came to power Tanzania has been taking a more cautious approach when it comes to trade agreements with other nations since most nations will push for a deal with out fully out weighing the effects of the deal just for the sake of it.
In 2016 (correct me if I'm wrong) the EU wanted to push a deal between EAC and EU for the free movement of goods but when you look at it the only nation in EA that would have benefited from the deal would be Kenya since where market is all full of European goods while at the same time the transport horticulture products to EU. Kenya had 1 or 2 sectors that could benefit but a lot more would suffer to to importation of better brand and quality name products as well as better trained experts killing all small industries in not only Kenya but also EA while also making it hard for locals to get jobs.
When Tanzania said that we had to first build an environment that when we sign the deal we can also be competitive she was seen as a witch and they even started like casting her aside.
The same thing is with the AFTA, most countries lack the environment to be competitive in the trade zone, while with the case of Tanzania is that the government wants to build a manufacturing economy that when we sign the agreement we can actually be a competitor in the market not only importer of goods and labor.
We are all for intergration thats why we agreed to a joint EA stock exchange, but before we go all in on the agreement, we want to make sure that we can benefit from it.

The real Ghana access to electricity is 30% rather. Rubbish undecided

Kenya access to electricity is 99% aboabi ba grin

Abohboy:
Once again another fool, those are estimates for if majority of Nigerians population spent taxes and the standard of living was at par with that of South Africa just learn the facts before speaking,
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rvp2018: 10:11am On Jan 06, 2021
Those figures are doubtful. Ghana registered metered electricity users are about 3-4m. The number of household in Ghana are maybe 8M now. So the real Ghana access is about 50%.

Kenya was touting about 80% access - but during census the figure was down to 55% - which make sense because registered meter users in kenya are about 8m now - in a country with about 12m.

I suggest you wait for the now postponed census in Ghana this year - and hopefully they will collect electricity access figures.

vankelvin:
Even your "updated" stats are also outdated grin

Ghana's electricity assess was 82.4% in 2018 so it can't be same in 2020/2021 after all the works that have been done in that sector in the past 2 years.

From about 17B taxes now to 170B - you're smoking something illegal.
Abohboy:
Guy your a fool Nigeria has four times the population of SA you clearly don’t understand ratios, I can’t be bothered to argue with someone as foolish as you if Nigeria was as rich as SA, and had a gdp per capita of let’s say 10 000 dollars, and they taxed all citizens let’s just say 1000 dollars per year, and let’s assume that 170 million of the 200 million are of tax paying ahe, that means 170 million times 1000 dollars, plug that into a calculator, that would out tax revenue at 170 billion dollars, you keep on showing that you didn’t get past grade 5, so stop replying to me if you don’t understand basic maths.

Very good. I see Kenya, Egypt and South Africa as the key beneficiaries of this; the rest of Africa countries need to build internal capacity. Nigeria is hobbled except Dangote will continue to underperform.

But first we need to complete the road infrastructure.

Please - Tanzania cannot even become East Africa super-power - how can a country of lazy people with small dreams become a super-power?
Kazikazi:
Did I say Tanzania has more influence than Nigeria? Did I say Tz is a superpower now? Don't put words in my mouth.
What I said is Tanzania has a greater chance of being a superpower than anyone else. Yes Nigeria, DRC, SA,Ethiopians, all has a potential,but the problem of those nations is their internal affairs. There is a huge issues which need a big miracle to overcome. From home grown terrorists, to separatists groups, corruption, tribalism,etc. All these issues are bombs waiting to explode. The same stuff happened to Sudan,a huge chunk of the land succeed and formed south Sudan.It happened in Ethiopia with Eritrea. There are a lot of same issues are still working in naija.even as we speak,some Ethiopians are still working hard to form a new nation.
For you,the only thing you look at is hydrocarbons and minerals! And what is funny is,you undermine TZ just because Tz don't export oil and gas! And may be you have no idea,TZ has oil and gas,waiting for extraction. So your story of small GDP don't hold water.Even your africas 3 big economies are exporting a lot of oil and gas or other minerals,which many folks in Africa can easily do the same including Somalia.
So yes,in the next 20-30 years,TZ will be a superpower. In those years..
1.Tanzania will be the biggest producer of electricity mainly coming from our huge reserves of coal, uraniums,etc

2.TZ will have Africa's biggest manufacturing sector.Thanks to our cheap labor,massive investments on electrified sgr across TZ and connected to neighboring nations.

3.Tanzania will have biggest tourism industry.Thanks to our superb tourist attractions and our peaceful environment.Mind you,Tz has more tourist attractions than any nation in Africa.

4.Tanzania will be home to Africa's medical tourism.Thanks to our huge investmants and governments seriousness on the matter. With lower operational costs,big investments on health sector,friendly folks,peaceful and beautiful environment,no African will think of going to India for specialized medical care.

5.Tanzania will have the biggest transport sector in the region.How!? Yes,we have many landlocked nations surrounding us,we will extend our electrified sgr up to Kinshasa DRC. That will make it a "new Suez canal"crossing from Atlantic to Indian ocean! You can guess how much money will be made by that! Many ships from the west will drop off their cargo in Kinshasa and two days later,another ship will pic it up from Dar es salaam Tanzania en route to middle East and far east Asia!

6.Our agriculture sector will be the biggest in Africa.We have the land,we have the will,we have the peaceful environment, we have the ports for easy exportation,we have the fastest and cheapest sgr to haul farm produce from inland areas to the coast much more efficient

7.Tanzania has almost all natural resources you know of. No need to elaborate on the obvious.

Let me stop for now

Nonsense. AREMA is equal to Chinese Class 2. Chinese are now best railway builders.
Kazikazi:
Mr Juakali,
Let me educate you for free one more time.

Tanzania don't have class one or two.We have a European type of SGR. We are not in those Chinese classes.
Ethiopians have a 120 kph,Kenya is at 80 kph, meanwhile, TZ a big boy has 160 kph SGR. Are we in the same level?

Yes you can electrify? But will you? Definitely not. You lack a reliable power. Tanzania has a very reliable electricity, thanks to our low level of corruption and our good no no sense approach

And again,we can also electrify our BRT too! But that is just a wish from me. The same as you,you wish to electrify that awkward thing

Tanzania's sgr axle load is 35 tonnes,Kenya has 25 tonnages.
Tanzania's sgr has more capacity. Blame your corruption

You can't run faster by simple electrifying a line.Ethiopians have electrified theirs, but it stops at 120 kph!
A railway need a design which support a certain max speed. Yes,curvature plays a role. Do you know a curve radii for Kenya's SGR vs Tanzania's? Stop your juakali theories

Ethiopia has class 2 electric SGR like yours - and it stall mid-way. Don't run before your crawl. Our SGR is electrifiable - once we are ready - you don't jump into electric train before you fix 24hrs of electricity - and it more than just generating more power - and it's making sure there is redudancy - and all the work.

We had two choices - build class 2 SGR electric like Ethiopia - or build class 1 SGR - we went for SGR class A that can haul more and is also electrifiable.

Once we electrify our SGR - ours will be FASTER and WILL HAUL MORE.

Yours is class 2 - has more corners - and the works - therefore even with electric is as slow as our SGR - and haul less weight.

As always - you went for FORM over SUBSTANCE

Kazikazi:
What sgr are you talking about? A diesel powered? Why are even mentioning that awkward thing in this day n age?
Do u think Tz is only doing SGR and hydo?
We have built more clinics,hospitals and other health facilities than any nation in Africa.
We have the fastest rural electrification than anyone in Africa.Only 2,000 villages are left to complete the project out of a total of 12,000 villages in Tz
Water access have jumped to 80%
Primary and secondary school enrollment have increased massively
Farms under irrigation system have doubled
I don't wanna talk about aviation sector.You know a story
I can't talk about industrialization. You know a story

Look like for 10yrs - your lazy lazy gov will be just be doing that SGR and maybe the dam. Kenya is executing mega projects all over. Mombasa-Nairobi SGR took 3yrs - and Naivasha 1.5yrs - and it's been operational for 3yrs now going.
