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.

well the are not but they drop out of it because it is too rigorous
No wonder Kenyans steer far away from it for concert programs

Definitely if they are airheads from Ghana.

half of pre med school drop the class before even the exams starts.
It takes good grounding

That makes her achievement even more remarkable

Just30:
Cry

She aced it because she had done all those things in high school here

Show started as Celtel Africa Challenge in 2007 - The inaugural Celtel Africa Challenge ended in a photo finish with Egerton University beating Kenyatta - both are kenyan universities
2008 - kenya won - all kenyan final
Zain (Kuwait telcom) bought Celtel from the Sudan-Briton Mo Ibraham.
2009 - Ibandan won - with kenya second
2010 - kenya won - all kenyan final

Bharti Airtel (india) buys Zain Africa - and stop the shows in 2011 .

It was really embarrassing for 16 africa teams to always have kenya teams from quartes - all kenya quarters/ semi finals/ finals.

The gulf btw kenya education and Sub Sahara Africa is HUGE

Obaaderemi2:
What lie? That your education in Kenya has failed or that the program was cancelled in 2010?

Why didn't egerton or any Kenyan University walk away with pride in 2009 when Ibadan destroyed them?

The show continued for another year.
Ibandan got whalloped by some dunderheads in Ghana.
Kenya won everything from quarters.
I know you come from a society a zoo really where lying is a virtue.


This was final show 2010
After fifteen weeks of intense brain-racking academic exercise, Egerton University of Kenya walked away with pride as the undisputed champions of the 2010 Zain Africa Challenge competition, Africa's top television quiz show

Apart from 2009 when Ibandan fluked through kenya won everything from Quarters allmost for rest of years.

Almost all finals were kenyan affair

Nairobi — It will be an all-Kenyan final at the ongoing Zain Africa Challenge.

Debutant Africa Nazarene University has already secured a slot in the final and will battle for the top position with the winner of the Sunday semi-final duel that will pit Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology against Egerton University.

Obaaderemi2:
Beating someone 720 to 610 is no fluke. And that was the first time they took part. If the show had continued, the pattern would have changed.

So all the ululations were because of she aced foundation courses

Just30:

Kenya has 87 universities. Again Nigeria the main zoo represent the small zoo in west africa. Stop struggling to compete with big countries.

Kenya public sector education.

Ruto said that there are 32,594 primary schools, 10,482 secondary schools, 12 national polytechnics, 259 technical and vocational training institutions and 87 universities which shows progress in improving academic standards in the country.

it is easy to identify our product . Some of the top finest brain from africa are Ghanaian . Be it in science or art related decipline. Apart from us having the current fourth best university in africa currently . ( This in itself placed us ahead of any Kenyan university , we are only top by egypt and south africa. Remember this is a country with only just 16 public universities and less than half of your population and we are doing wonders.

Naturally Kenyan kids lacks the correct nutritional food that will have reshaped and fashioned up their brain for future challenge but there isn't much food for such development. There is food crisis in your country which proportionally leads to stunted educational performance . We eat well here and deliver exceptional academic quality . At least UCC recent fourth best africa university point out to this.

You and fellow madman keep ranting on and on. What sold you out is the allegation s/he was doing medicine in harvard as undergrad.

If he or she is in harvard - cant be studying anything pre-med or med before s/he get a first degree

https://extension.harvard.edu/academics/programs/premedical-program/#content-1
You are eligible to apply if you meet the following criteria:

Have completed a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution.
Are a US citizen or permanent resident.
Have English language proficiency.

vaxx:
another thing is , he taught pre- med program is a full fledged four years decipline major like the normal degree. Thinking you will be getting a degree award for it. Infact in usa, it is possible to study business administration and run a medicine program as post first degree, even any courses. just a matter of some little foundational pre-medic will just kick start your efforts. And likewise you can go straight for a pre medic program just after college.

The airlift education scholarship that changed the world.

This is where the story of America's first black president, Barack Obama, begins.

The Kenyan trade unionist turned politician Tom Mboya, who studied at Ruskin College, Oxford, wanted members of his country's government to be adequately prepared for a post-colonial Kenya.

He recognised quite early on that there were not enough professional Africans to run an efficient civil service.

To make up the shortfall, he set up a scholarship fund that would take young bright Africans to the US and Canada.

The idea was for them to acquire the necessary skills and come back to help build a new country when the white civil servants packed up and returned to Europe.

One of those students was one Barack Obama from Kogelo, near the port city of Kisumu on the shores of Lake Victoria.

Just30:
so basically none achievers
No wonder

The next year they didnt even get thro the prelimanires - Egerton won it again in 2010. They had done it in 2008 then 2010. It really was competition btw kenya universities. Ibandan fluked through - quick on the buzzer.

And kenya best university remain UON = the mother and father of all universities in kenya.

Obaaderemi2:
They beat your University 720 against 610, over a hundred points and you call that a fluke.
