Which cities were left? Lagos and Accra looked better than most cities in Africa at independence. The rot is your own making vankelvin: |
Yes, I think rural developments, can provide nearly the same amenities like you have in urban areas. Kazikazi: |
What is the problem being rural? and having 70% slum population like in most Africa cities? Rural development can lift many out of poverty. Austine1213: |
Yes, East Africa for the last 20-30yrs have consistently grown at around 7% - and that growth is not resources based like West and rest of Africa - it that kind of broad-based growth that has lifted many out of poverty. Ethiopia used to be the biggest laggard but they have woken up. West Africa is now in a serious mess because they are dependant on natural resources. In terms of instability - Central Africa is in a big mess - starting from congo all the way to CAR. So North Africa>South Africa>East Africa>West Africa and finally Central Africa - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Carte_Afrique_CAF.png Kazikazi: |

At least you don't suffer from giant delusional temptation. But 7-10 yrs is a bit ambitious when poverty is tripling in Nigeria.+ Abohboy: |
Learn the difference btw an ill-informed opinion and a fact. A fact is a thing that is known to be consistent with objective reality and can be proven to be true with evidence. There is no Nigeria city that is near anything we have in Southern Africa. forgiveness: |
Brazil are at the apex. Don't celebrate so soon. Acadavah: |
Mzalendo - how are you holding up with COVID-19 in your little Magufulistan? There seem to be total media blackout. Mzal3ndo: |
You cannot decide which event is the most important All Olympic events are important human achievement and you have zero gold, zero silver, and only 3 bronze. Don't check kenya stats.Heck you don't feature in 100m top 100 of all times. At least one or two Nigerians is there. Just30: |
Hobbit that is some obscure ranking - Men's 100m (50m-55m-60m) - in some obscure months. That is scrapping the bottom of the barrel. You probably don't feature I bet in 100M hall of fame. There are only two events -100 and 200m - where we are not there - the rest we are in there - in big time. When you talk about "hungry" - where are you in rugby? boxing? Where kenya beat you blue. Just30: |
LOL which Althetics hall of Fame will exclude Kenya. I think you gave us a some list of 100m ![]() Kenya is a WORLD athletic giant. Maybe just two events where we don't feature much - 100ms and 200ms. The rest from 400m to 42Kms (marathon) we DOMINATE - THE WORLD. IAAF hall of Fame - has Kenya and Ethiopia - Kipchoge Keino and Abebe Bikila - in Africa. NO other country https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAAF_Hall_of_Fame Just30: |
That was already done - and Kenya is Africa's giant. Ghana you are probably no 30 in Africa. Zero gold, Zero silver. Just 3 bronze in 60yrs of participating in Olympics - just how untalented are you? And you want me to look at the least of half-nots. Kenya is a WELL KNOWN SPORTING GIANT> Just30: |

Rubgy - Kenya sevens - plays world-class rugby. We sometimes beat the likes of New Zealand All Blacks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8xyTURaKEQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCIfTbZTo1A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg-oU_jhcM8 Kenya reached 99 points their highest ever and Willy Ambaka making the HSBC series first ever dream team. Ombachi and Oscar Ouma making also making dream team in some of the legs. Kenya reaching their second ever Cup Final knocking out SouthAfrica and New Zealand And of Course their first ever win against fiji in HSBC series. (This is a compiltion of several clips) |
Cycling - Chris Froome - Born and bred in Nairobi - until he went to South Africa - represented kenya https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw0tVcgQeTA |
Crickets -Kenya's best performance at the Cricket World Cup was in 2003, where they reached the semi-finals. Hockey - we have been 4th in world cup. Volleyball girls - we have always represented Africa in world cup. |

I tell you outside football - you don't exist - can't even play rugby football? We beat you in nearly all the rest of discipline netball, volleyball, hockey, swimming, cycling, tennis, boxing, name it. Where kenya struggle - like track and field - we are struggling against WORLD STANDARDS - not African standards. I doubt if Ghana has ever won Olympic gold in anything. Yes I checked zero gold, zero silver, just 1 bronze. What can you tell Kenya? Just on track and field athletes like Julius Yego (Javelin) has won more than all your althetes in 60yrs Silver medal – second place 2016 Rio de Janeiro Javelin throw World Championships Gold medal – first place 2015 Beijing Javelin throw Commonwealth Games Gold medal – first place 2014 Glasgow Javelin throw All-Africa Games Gold medal – first place 2011 Maputo Javelin throw African Championships Gold medal – first place 2012 Porto Novo Javelin throw Gold medal – first place 2014 Marrakech Javelin throw Gold medal – first place 2018 Asaba Javelin throw Bronze medal – third place 2010 Nairobi Javelin throw Swimming - Jason Dunford. During his swimming career he was predominantly a butterfly and freestyle sprinter winning gold medals at the Commonwealth Games, Universiade, All-Africa Games and African Championship[/b]s, and r[b]eaching finals at the Olympics, World Championships and Short Course World Championships. He also held African, Universiade and Olympic records. Just30: |
This year alone we were set to host two world events. WRC rally and IAAF U20. These are world events. What can we discuss with Ghana when it come to sports outside football? Even for Hockey - Ghana is nowhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana_men%27s_national_field_hockey_team https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenya_men%27s_national_field_hockey_team Just30: |
GDP (nominal) sub-Sahara according to IMF - Kenya now the 3rd - Ghana bigger than Tanzania. Big asterik on that - and of course Nigeria overcooked data.

Now that you have exhausted minerals - you are growing at -1 or 1 %. South Africa is going down. Austine1212: |
KTDA is model is of small holder farming and rural development - at least in Africa nothing come close. Just like nothing come close to Kenya Cooperative movements. Kenyans are hard on themselves but what we have done without any minerals - with minimal arable land - is incredible. kikuyu1: |
This was way before Kenya overtook India and China in tea exports When Charles Karanja joined the Kenya Tea Development Authority (KTDA) in 1964, it was small and young but firmly established. Its structure had been deeply influenced by the historical moment of its creation. Although the organization was to take on additional features in the future, it kept most of its initial structural characteristics. These were a major factor in its accomplishments. The KTDA is a success by almost any criteria of assessment. In 1959 the 1,000 hectares of tea grown by some 5,000 smallholders produced only one-fifteenth as much as Kenya's multinational tea estates. In 1980 the KTDA was servicing 130,000 growers with 50,000 hectares (110,000 acres), sold half of the country's tea exports, and had come to represent 5 percent of the international market. In the process the KTDA probably has become the world's largest tea corporation. The KTDA also excelled in quality. In 1959 Kenyan teas commanded prices 14 percent below the average London price; by 1971 they brought the world's highest prices, at 6 percent above the average. This leadership in quality has been maintained ever since. The organization has been immensely profitable for Kenya and its growers. The World Bank estimated that the KTDA achieved a 28 per- rvp2018: |
Loolk at South Africa - and all they had is nothing more than what Ghana has. But if you're an idiot - contended to eat cane-rat as a delicacy - you'll continue eating rats. Torture2020: |
Exactly. The guy who started it all Karanja nailed it. Mureithi nailed it for livestock but he somehow lost the plot. Botswana then nailed the beef industry. It could have been Kenya. The mad cow and all that has killed our livestock sector..now we would be exporting the best beef abroad. You should read about Charles Karanja role in KTDA. https://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpressebooks/view?docId=ft8p3008fh&chunk.id=d0e3782&toc.depth=1&toc.id=d0e3425&brand=ucpress kikuyu1: |

So many? Nigeria is leading in so many. We have poverty in Kenya. Extreme poverty. About 1/3 of Kenyan suffer-normal poverty. That is like 15m kenyans. Nigeria is about 10 times that 150m people. But obviously kenya without minerals or oil or name it has done well - As for Chinese - they only gave us a rail-line - that in my view is viable and will pay for itself. The gov is more a guarantor and because it will pay for itself the kenya railway corporation will handle chinese.. Torture2020: |

All Olympic events are important human achievement and you have zero gold, zero silver, and only 3 bronze. Don't check kenya stats.
