Are we talking about this KANO or you have another one.
Ghana look like Western Europe - get off weed - it's not good for your mental health

vaxx:
the cultural heritage of kano and her dynasty alone is way bigger than anything Nairobi.

And once you include west Africa , you will be getting stupid. .... If Ghana look like western europe comparing it with kenya , then how will cape verde look like ? Much more like paradise.

Pray what social infrastructure does west africa zoos have that beat ?
Musics and films

vaxx:
I disagree with you.northern Nigeria is better than anything kenya . Nairobi can't compare itself with Kano ( northern Nigeria) it is not about high rise building . It is about social Infrastructure.

Bankrupt power companies create a systemic risk on the entire economy
See Ghana in 2005, 2015 and now.
See South Africa since 2008.

You cannot saddle already bankrupt power companies with more expenses - by requiring them to compensate for financial loss.
When they are not ready. Ghana ones cannot even pay Nigeria for gas. They cannot even pay IPPS. They are making 1 billion dollar in losses sending economy to ICU every few years.

Kenya is going to move there soon - financial loss compensation - because our power is very reliable.

In a month - average interruption is just 4hours - 1 hour a week - and this is strictly due to maintenance

"Official data from Kenya Power shows the Customer Average Interruption Duration Index (CAIDI) – that is the average duration each customer was off the power supply in a month – stands at 4.03 hours. "

https://nation.africa/kenya/business/kenya-power-faces-fines-for-unreliable-electricity--3941918

Now regulator is about to allow for financial loss compensation...but we have to run the maths welll...otherwise bankrupt utilities can create a huge mess and turn kenya into a Nigerian zoo.

Just30:
At least make Kenya a little saner a place .....
Your utility companies need to be sued constantly so they can think properly before acting . Kenyans deserve better than bankruptcy.

Kenya is just another Nigeria with a twist of South Sudan

We had a narrow escape.
Otherwise, we were similarly staring at debt crisis - which is reflected by the sovereign credit rating cuts.

We first declined to issue eurobonds in 2021 and started cutting back.

Uhuru the drunkard though recklessly spend money to woo voters to back Ruto rival in 2022.

Ruto won and the big mend started.

Ruto took immediate action - cut subsidies (1 billion dollars), cut 3billion dollars in budget, restored investor/creditor confidence.
We have also borrowed less - by rejecting expensive credit.


Now everything starting to look good.
GDP will expand 6.2 percent up from 5.8% this year.
Ruto has cut the next budget - borrowing/expenditure.
And we are increasing revenue collection from 20B to almost 30B dollars.

Debt to GDP down to 62% from 68%; This year we take it below 60%; And by 2025; we will be at 55%;

Our only major problem is in 2024 - when we have to repay 2b dollars eurobond principal - but our revenues are growing.

We took action - Ghana did not.

Ghana was bankrupted by Nana.

vaxx:
Your vice president said she actually inherited a broke Govt,where everything is empty in the cover . You are so broke. Your treasure is empty.

Let Ghana and Eskom repay debt first.
Before you saddle yourselves with legal fees pursuing a bankrupt company.
Which might not survive...rendering any such claim a nugatory.
Use the legal fees to buy a generator


Eskom, which regularly implements electricity outages that choke economic growth, is saddled with around 400 billion rand ($24.32 billion)

Just30:
You're just not smart ... People pay bills daily
So there's enough money for them to pay damages

In Ghana people sue them all the time and the entire nation has been compensated several times


Kenya is broke, Bankrupt and insolvent hence the idea is alien to you guys

Childish.
Ghana is broke/bankrupt/insolvent - joining Zambia, Chad and Ethiopia in that club.
Also add Mali.

"Ghana last week requested a restructuring of debt it owes to other governments, becoming the fourth country after Chad, Ethiopia and Zambia to do so under a G20 Common Framework "

vaxx:
the visible shortage of hard currency in your country is a testament. You are broke and empty. Hence the reason your power authority is seeking to charge some category of customers in dollars . That is a testament. You are the stupid one here .

It stupid to lie that kenya is bankrupt.

Ghana is officially bankrupt, its former leader and opposition flagbearer John Mahama declared on Monday describing the situation as “tragic”. The government announced that certain external debts cannot be honoured per agreed terms.20 Dec 2022

vaxx:
Kenya is also broke and so ? You will not stop being stupid in 2023

Eskom is broke. Insolvent. Negative cashflow.
Ghana is broke. Insolvent. Negative cashflow.
You can't sue either.
They cant and wont pay.

Just30:
No wonder power companies are abusing Kenyans in that broke country Kenya..

You can always sue your utility company and they will pay from their cash flow .... I know this seem alien in Kenya

How will bankrupt Eskom pay for damages.

Lesson No 1: Dont sue a mad person like Just30 or broke one like Ghana or Eskom.

Just cut the losses and buy a standby generator

Just30:
It should be easier for him to sue for damages in the cause where the power cut wasn't scheduled

Look like you stopped building them long time ago. How did Nana bankrupt Ghana without at least one gradiose stadium. In meantime kenya is building several at the same time.

Obaaderemi2:
No lie. Ghana has better sporting facilities than Kenya. That's a given.

Last year also Kenya army built a 7,500 stadium for their Ulinzi football club - one kenya finest football team.

They can comfortably put seats as no hooligan can cause chaos in army compound.

In less than 5yrs - kenya will have more than 50 stadiums - as every county gov is building one

Football hooligans rip apart plastic seats.

vankelvin:
Rvp but this is not a complete stadium?
why do you guys keep building stadiums without seats

Please post more pictures

Kenya is building new stadias every year. This one is new one in Kiambu county.

Since 2016 - national celebrations are no longer held in nairobi - and are rotated in every county - therefore new medium sized stadias are getting built

In next five months - we shall have a brand new one in time for national independence day.

"Interior and National Administration Principal Secretary Dr Raymond Omollo has said that the 20,000-capacity stadium at the ASK showground at Njukiiri in Embu will be built in the next four and a half months"

vankelvin:
please surprise me

The last time I checked we have more than you so I would like that you update me

Actually even in normal stadiums - Ghana is no where near kenya. Sports is now decentralized function in kenya - and most of 47 counties are building one.

vankelvin:
Which other sports facilities do you have ?

Ghana doesnt have better sport facilities than kenya. Maybe in football.

vankelvin:
My problem with you is your incessant stupid arguments.

Is it in dispute that Ghana has better sports facilities than Kenya?
If not stupidity why would a grown ass man like you post pictures of ordinary parks and Accra stadium which obviously those pitches have not been watered during this dry season to challenge what I said time past?

This is how your Abuja stadium was like some 2 years ago so can we equally say Kisimu stadium at the time was better than Abuja stadium? Sometimes you need to think small

Even your Teslim Balogu, Kano and Enugu Stadiums have had terrible pitches at some point in time

Not so fast.
The situation will go from worse to worst.
ANC will either form minority gov or coalition gov likely with Malema.
All scenarios point to weak unstable coalition or minority gov that might be unable or able to govern and get reforms?
Or well weaken ANC may accept reforms.
It really depend - they merge with Malema - it chaos. They merge with DA - better. They form minority gov alone - total chaos
All parties gang up against ANC - malema with DA and action party - total chaos.

AfriqueDuZuid:
from +74% in 2009 to barely getting 50% in 2021

2024 they will be out

Obaboon mode activated quite early in the year I see.

Obaaderemi2:
Indeed. I never knew Mombasa was behind Mogadishu. The same way you once proclaimed Ghana was above Kenya. At times I wonder why the Ghanaians are still replying you. You are right at least. About Mogadishu being better than Mombasa.

Mogadishu look more modern than Abuja.
Again west africa cities fails in basic - regular painting, planting flowers, trimming grass, trees.

Your governor should enforce exterior re-painting every 2-3 yrs.

Nairobi Lower kabete has some world class building - just basics

Obaaderemi2:
Dirty and barren. Is that Somalia?

its insanity to compare the desolate Aso rock with Mombasa.

I am dead serious. It's one of cheapest way they can make Abuja and Lagos look modern and liveable - and instragramble.

Mombasa has done a good paint job. Though last governor went overboard with requiring painting all buildings white and blue.

gallivant:
Lmao!

Give that building some fresh paint. I bet since Abacha built it - it has never been renovated. Does the lift work?

Obaaderemi2:
You are saying nonsense. Abuja towers above Mombasa.

You are free to use either of these as a postcard.

That lots of assumption. What we know for sure until ANC loses election, until Eskom is fixed, until whatever else has stalled south africa economy the last 15yrs - all economist agree - that medium term projection for south africa is grim. South Africa own treasury project 1-2 percent growth for next 5yrs - below 2 percent plus pop growth rate.

I am not crossing my fingers that black south africans will let go of their party soon. welcome to africa mr Afrikaan. africa time is the best time. TIA - this is africa. There is no hurry in Africa.

jl115:
The above is why you talk nonsense on nairaland and don't do economics for a living....And eskom is a blessing in disguise , it will be the main reason why the ANC will lose next years election and why SOEs will be privatised.

Smell the coffee...since 2010...South Africa economy has been dead. I think per capita has been on decline - as pop growth exceeded gdp growth rate.

Sounds like there is strong correlation btw Eskom troubles and South Africa economic nosedive.

2010s were lost. Now the 2020s look definitely gone - 2023 - your best bet is 1% --- and I dont see quick resolution to Eskom - so we are looking at medium term - next five years of 0-1%.

The bean counting geniuses at Pwc didnt see that trust me

jl115:
Load shedding existed since 2008 and Covid and Ukraine war effected everybody, so yes I believe PWC projections to still be accurate.

Also our economy has been much more resilient than economist predicted despite loadshedding

Egypt looks like sick man of 2023 - inflation and currency devaluation. Ghana have finally made peace and accepted their newly minted bankruptcy.

Dont feign ignorance. Mombasa is far better than your second city Abuja.

Obaaderemi2:
Gademn it!!!! Can you believe I wasted my time watching that nonsense, just a garden and markets! And that's their second City. it's either the place is that bad or the documentary didn't do justice to it.

Do you still believe in PWC projections I bet they never saw Eskom shutting down your economy - after Covid - then Ukraine war.

jl115:
This post is misplaced since I wasn't even talking about South Africa, Kenya or Eskom for that matter.........What this does prove is how obsessed you are with SA

West Africa cattle kraals has a lot to learn from Kenya 2nd city.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzp1WT0bjBs&t=521s

Yet another misplaced aggression. Your problem is not us - it's Eskom.

Look like we have another lost decade in RSA...and kenya is just merely 5yr to economic take off.

This year - Kenya likely to pull off 6% - South Africa will be lucky not to recess.

A flat earther telling me that a dude that believes in unicorns and another dude that doesn't know how to calculate basic GDP has been passing me like a spliff?? maybe it's just that you ret@rds have been smoking to much spliffs

Typical Nigerian. Lame excuse after lame excuse.

Obaaderemi2:
Ibadan never took part until 2009 when they came to Kenya and won it on Kenyan soil with your students left holding the empty bag. 720 to 610 is a big margin. The following year Ibadan relaxed and didn't do well. After that the show didn't go on. If it had continued where would you have been?
Besides it was more or less a show for Kenyans. It was hosted in Kenya and the moderator throughout the years was a Kenyan.

What is the basis of this claim?

Obaaderemi2:

Kenyans are not good at science subjects.
