What will you say when we hit 200B in 5yrs time . We are due for re-basing soon. We normaly rebase after every 10yrs. We did the last one in 2013 - so I think next year we will start rebasing. Our current base year I think is 2009. We might see another 25% jump in GDP.samorobo: |
Go for it. The Egyptians cannot do anything. Empty threats. ednited: |
More like you cannot handle the truth. If we keep growing at same rate we have done the last 15yrs - nothing can stop us. samorobo: |
Nairobi will overtake it very soon. By 2030 latest. JaceBlaze: |
We have nearly eradicated that Africa round hut. Nigeria also. Most black south africans in rural areas live like Lesotho or Swaziland. Very little development. samorobo: |
Now imagine if we urbanized 50% of our population. Our cities already look decent. When we get manufacturing working - and create jobs - enough to urbanize - to 60% like South Africa - in 2035 - what will you say. Nigeria already urbanize to 50% - but it's one slumplis after another. Austine1213: |
Development is not linear. It's like a plane taking off. On the runway - it very slow - but once it hit a take-off point- it become something else. Kenya is about to hit an inflection point - and will leapfrog - like many other countries did. If somebody told you China would be what it is today - 30yrs ago - you would think they were insane. China recently was rural - teeming with bicyle riding big hat poor chinese farming rice. Shenzen was fishing resort - now it's has more glitzy than new york. I believe in 2035 - Lamu will be probably be better than Durban - Crazy thoughts.Mombasa will be better than CapeTown. Thika will be better than Pretoria. Joburg residence will be coming to Nairobi to look at Skyscrappers. Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Nyeri, Meru and even my little Kericho town will be big cities. Countries once they hit a take off point - and enter a fast growth pace - can do in 10yrs time what they never did in 100yrs. For example look at Kenya - btw 1963 - 2013 (50yrs) - it managed to only pave 8-10K of roads. In the last 7 yrs it has done paved 10K - double what it did in 60yrs. Kenya until 2007- had only 15% connected to the electricity - about 300,000 household - in 7yrs - it has connected 7million. I believe Kenya will hit a take-off point in 2025 or around unless we have more exogenous risks like CORONA. The piece of the jigsaw are about to fall in places - they are so many varibles that you need to get right And Kenya is 5yrs from getting them right. samorobo: |
Zulus live in villages in Africa round huts. samorobo: |
What is positive to report about Nigeria? Maybe Dangote refinery. samorobo: |
We are creating and building many murram-gravel roads. This is work of our counties - more like Nigeria states. We are doing more rural development that Nigeria will ever imagine. Abohboy: |
Has been...key word. Once we open up the 2/3 north with LAPSSET project I believe we will discover many minerals. The area from turkana to somali border has been very insecure for any investor to go there. We are taming it now. We hired Chinese to do some mineral mining recently...I am not sure when the will report. Roan77: |
Well, without the most up to date figures, you cannot plan nothing. Nigeria is too poor to even conduct census. Officially you have 195k of roads. Kenya which is about half your size - has 246K. Abohboy: |
How do you know we don't have them. You haven't done a geospatial survey of kenya underground. Austine1213: |
I didn't invent that figure. I quoted newspaper article that quote data from KRB Road Inventory and Condition Survey (RICS) 2018 report, Austine1213: |
Lesotho and Swaziland are not developed. That is where you would be without the minerals. Austine1213: |
Not exactly - Zim, Malawi and Zambia are kind of one people - they are darker skin peaceful bantus. The Southern Africa - from Botswana - Namibia-South Africa-Lesoth-Swaziland - have lots of Khoisan influences - more light skin - they are a bit 'weaker' and easier to dominate - that is my own view - but Zulus can be tough Shma: |
You're obsessed about my moniker. Now that you have my attention, what are you struggling to say. Try plain English. Maybe a lot of the misunderstanding stem from your pidgin. This is an international thread...so spare us the mangled English. theenchanter: |
The zulu still live pretty horrible life in Kwa Zulu Natal. Not any different from Lesotho or Swaziland. Shma: |
That was 10yrs ago. I gave the 2018 figure 245K. Now it should be well over 250k. Austine1213: |
Kenya total road network now surpasses Nigeria. As of 2018 - Kenya now have 246,000km - Nigeria has 195,000 - despite being twice larger than Kenya in landmass. This thanks to Kenya rural development focus and 9B dollars investment in road network the last 7 years. https://www.icrc.gov.ng/135000km-road-network-nigeria-un-tarred-icrc/ https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/the-standard-insider/article/2001380893/kibaki-vs-uhuru-a-tale-of-two-presidents-through-kenyas-roads The survey, done by the Kenya Roads Board (KRB), documents the evolution of the country’s road network from 63,000km in 2003 to 161,000km in 2009 and then 246,700km in 2018. Tanzania road network is 86,000 km - very shameful - for a country larger than Nigeria and nearly equal South Africa. Ghana road network is 67,000 kms South Africa has one world largest road network at 750,000kms. Nigeria and Tanzania need to aim for that. Kenya for about half that - 350,000kms - so we still have 100,000 kms of roads to go - before we start talking about paving them. |
vankelvin:I don't have all the time..I expect you'll correct me and we can have sound argument.Not try to shout me down |
The whole point is for you to refute it with facts. Not emotions. We can then decide which figures are credible. vankelvin: |
Yes, US higher education is well funded and endowed. It like everything successfully. It create a self-sustaining ecosystem. The alumni donates billions - and those billions provide the resources - to attract the very best students, lectures, name it. As for Africa - Nigeria has this thing where if one Nigerian (mostly in diaspora) is doing well - then all Nigerian are doing well. The average Nigerian is cattle herder in Minna or Jos or name any of those fulani-hausa. The south Nigerian is probably a thug or kidnapper... Kenya - ask them Tanzanian or Ugandans or name them. obaaderemi: |
Nigerian diaspora. Start from Obama and count that for Kenya. Per capita - Nigeria dominate the diaspora. But for every one brilliant Nigerian - you have 1,000 drug dealers and street urchins. Every street in western world - you'll find the Nigerians selling drugs in train stations, parks and name it - and acting like complete monkeys - throwing garbage everywhere - breaking all the laws - behaving totally like animals. West Africans - like African American - you totally messed it up for Africa and black people. You behave in ways no asian or any other race can behave...like animals. Abohboy: |
You're the guys who think I am an economist. The only economics I did is econ 101 as common course in my degree course. If we go to my domain - you'll see dust. My English is arguably the worst - I failed it - I got A- - everything else I scored a perfect A. obaaderemi: |
My friend US white kids who come to Kenya are in another level. I work with most of them. They are top brain worldwide. These are kids from harvard, yale, name them. Kenya is incredibly lucky to attract that kind of talent - nearly for free. These are the best brains anyway in the world. We are losing to Rwanda because of our stupid work permit policy. Nobody can beat the US elite higher education - which is why China, Vietnam and even Japanese are paying anything to send their kids there. Kenyans have best brain in Africa - but US kids from silicon valley and ivy leagues are on another level. These are incredibly smart people coming to kenya to launch social enterprises - using their high grade brains. I have worked with some of them - and I have tremendous respect for them. obaaderemi: |
Maybe. To be admitted in our year to study Computer Science at the University of Nairobi - 30 kids - nationally - you had to score an A - and there like 5 A-s in 8-9 subjects. I know Nigerians think you study - come to kenya - and see China or India like super-focus on studying. By 3rd year nearly everyone of us was employed. Those were arguably the smart people I ever met. We could hack shiet. From just the grammar alone here - you can tell the Tanzanian, the Ghanian, the Nigeria, the South African and the Kenyan. We have done very well without minerals and all that because of our super-focus on EDUCATION. obaaderemi: |
When you heard TIVET (Ghana TVET) you thought we had touched Ghana. Kenya TIVET model borrows on German successfully vocational training And is our current focus. We are done with basic education - 100% primary enrollment - 100% secondary education - we have changed our education system - 3rd time now to competence based model We know our education quality is highly ranked and respected.

You're funny. With tiny memory powered by puny brain fed by rat soup. This started when TZ fellow attacked kenya tech sector for being led by whites. I explained to him our focus was TIVET Your rushed in with 10 Technical universities and I was shocked.A country with 10 polytechnics. You refused to talk enrollment and run for nebulous performance. I checked the high school - first results 700 - from Ghana US embassy ![]() And I was truly intrigued now. I discovered you had double track because more than half the kids could not be admitted in high school. And I went on to discover your education is UNDERWHELMING - right from basic education to universities. Just30: |
I doubt there is anything remarkable anybody can attribute to you in this forum. The data, the pictures and videos have turned all of your Ghanians into embittered little fools. It's very sad. The day KaziKazi focused the attention on this forum to little Nigeria is the day you all unraveled. Now you're engaging us in the asinine arguments like we are Nigeria. We only respect facts. Not cheap insults like a street corner slut. We will continue to expose Ghana for what it truly is - a little version of the Zoo. Just30: |
The data quoted relates to when double track started - about 2-3yrs ago. The cheap potshots should at least be cerebral. You are starting to sound like your fellow country men. Angry and Stupid. Deadly combination. I bet you can even burst a vein or worse your bile. Engage in sound arguments. Data for data. You become abusive when you are beaten. vankelvin: |
