SUFFERInSMILIIN:
My Speciality is agriculture and I have been to more than 16 African countries. If you read my post before I said there are 20 to 25 ton farmers in South Africa I did not say all the Farmers the ones with overhead irrigation. Please read a statement well before you comment. In South Africa there is a club 20-ton per hectare maize farmers. I worked at pana which they were getting 20 tonnes per hectare with their overhead irrigation... I thought your speciality was mining and high syndicate.

don't raise your hopes.. Tanzania are like Nigerians full of ignorant people

Troy404:
The more you explain the worse you make it look, by your own admission they built a light rail in low residential area just for aesthetics.
The demand comes first then the supply not the other way round, its obvious the project wasnt a high priority one. Zero value for money - white elephant.

The whole Abuja is an expensive joke.LAGOS choking with human traffic meanwhile rots away.The investment needed is on electricity... otherwise the zoo will remain forever backward and source of problem as far down as south Africa.

This what Nigeria ministry of education has to say about Ghana education system.

Nice.Kenya started getting serious with TIVET 3yrs ago.Ghana is a very progressive nation.All Nigeria need to do is allow Ghanians to help them.In Kenya TIVET kids are getting higher education loans and bursaries like university kids

cossano:
Kenya is changing everyday, before 2002 kenya was a backward dictatorship, fast forward to 2019 the development pace is unrelenting, I tell you ten years from now we will be one of the most advanced economies in Africa, this is without a doubt. I know for sure that our constitution will be rejigged before 2022 to strengthen devolution which will in turn grow the peripheral towns into big cities. We only have a few things to sort out as a nation then bloom!

I am glad you finally see things objectively without being clouded by politics.Kenya turned the corner in 2003... and no doubt in 10yrs we will be in South Africa level...a modern middle class country... dealing with xenophobia against Nigerians.The influx from East African in Kenya is already noticeable.

Nigeria has170 universities with capacity of 600k.That is crazy... those universities on average I guess have 3000 kids like high schools.Kenya with 1/4 your population last I checked had enrolled more that 500k kids.Crazy zoo.At minimum you should enrol 2m kids in your university.And have like 10m in vocational colleges.No wonder you're population is mostly ignorant and hopeless

Abohboy:
Just Waite once Seyi makinde is done with his 8 years in Oyo state, the GDP of Ibadan alone will be higher than the whole of Kenya's. have you heard that education is now free so is Healthcare and all hospitals are to be upgraded. and finally to destroy them all the Ibadan Masterplan has been written and completed with an inner and outer circular road, and they will make electricity from waste let me show you some pics as well.

Pic. 1 Community market area there will be many of these places all around Ibadan
Pic.2 Ibadan light rail with traditional architecture
Pic.3 Ibadan masterplan overview
Pic.4 Tech U ibadan campus ( MIT of Africa

Wet dreams... anybody can dream...most of time while asleep.Nigeria day dreaming is on another level.

kikuyu1:
IIRC,construction began with this thread!

Yes first ship dock in a week time...there is already promotional offer..KPA have already shifted some staff from Mombasa to Lamu.

samorobo:
You mumu boy do you know how many unis we have let alone the total number of higher institution?

Does not matter... clearly they are not enough.You know university like Nairobi or Kenyatta enrol 100k students.Only you online university manages that.A country like Nigeria requires min of 400 universities.I doubt you have 100.You can save lots of Forex by building at least 10 new universities in every state.

samorobo:
You accused me of lack of knowledge but you are obviously lacking one..see vaxx you can get A1 Parallel and pass jamb 400 but once you write UI post utme and your result has been accumulated and you happen to be 0.1 mark below your departmental cutoff not even up to 1 mark trust me you've automatically lost your admission.The general acceptable requirement for o'level in Nigeria is c6 in all core o'level subjects which is usually 5 in numbers(for a science student it will be maths, English, chemistry, physics, biology/Futher maths).now if you should have D7 in just one of those o'level courses then congratulations you've lost your admission, infact you don't need to wait for admission list to know that....Most schools will still give you grace if you didn't meet up with your departmental cutoff mark to obtain change of course form which will still be a 50/50 chance as it will become a survival of the fittest things(people who couldn't meet their cutoff from various department but had high aggregate will come and compete and they usually end up picking just a few, because that department just need few people to fill up since they've already given admission to those that originally picked that course and met it requirement)...now by the time all this is happening pedigree form would have finished selling as 90% of Nigerian schools will start selling their pedigree form from July and end sale in August whilst admission list would be fully out by December/january.so after all the hoping and waiting you will end up back home "UNI HOME" where you belong to start over again..Not all parent can bare this most especially rich kids parent.After telling all your mates that you child will be in school this year and all of a sudden you will start chewing words. The next option will always be Ghana, Togo, Benin BEcause they don't want their kids to be too far so they can monitor them(mostly does overprotective parent). Those that can handle it ship them to UK, US, Germany, Canada or even Africa SA & egypt

Why not build more universities like Ghana and save those Forex so you can fight poverty.But I gues we are talking hopelessly disorganized country..all the money from oil disappear thro such basic stuff like expanding universities.Kenya use to have same situation but we expanded from 7 public universities and 3 private to now 70 universities.Enrollment is approaching 1m.And now we have changed focus...we are building 300 Vocational College for the bulk of kids who can't make to universities

68816419:
not really, In Kenya, all development are situated at around the cbds and got countless slums around it at the same time.

Why doesn't Nigeria have a CBD worth talking about...let's start from there

gallivant:
Are you still flying to South Africa and India or have the creditors shut down Air Mzembe?

Apparently they are afraid the xenophobia gangs down south will hurl missiles at their bought by cash dreamliners so they suspended flights.Air Zembe now flying once a week to Mwanza.

gallivant:
You flew in Malaysians to plan your cities and are proud about it? Ask them to revive Nigeria Airways too stupid morons.

They probably spend 2b dollars annually or more on air tickets benefitting foreign airlines...don't wonder where oil money goes.Surely if Rwanda a very poor country can afford to run an airline..why would Nigeria not fly their own flag.Pretty shameful.

tylann:
air tz carried 6 passengers in a dreamliner to Entebbe

air Tanzania is managed from the office of the president

It's crazy.magufuli will drive them to bankruptcy.just wait n see.foreign investment is drying up.Magufuli will do 10 yrs and possibly remove term limits

tylann:
just simple business restructuring


by the way jambojet has bought another plane and kq is selling planes

Tanzania airlines ..4 dreamliners ...are now afraid to fly to South Africa... their only long haul destination..they are deploying dream liners to fly empty to Mwanza or Entebbe.Just imagine that.Jambojet makes more money than Air TZ.Nigeria should not talk airlines... until they get Nigeria Airlines flying again...after 40yrs out of air

vaxx:
well, for their parent to be able to avoid 10, 000 dollars annually shows they are not just every day Nigerians. they are among who is who in Nigeria and simply want the best for their daughter.

No right thinking individual will pick UI when legon is an option. medicine is not hard as you may try to paint it. (try admission at igbinedion university).


so far webometric and Qs ranked legon ahead of any Nigeria uni is enough for them. that is a global recognised ranking . even in THE ranking ( golden age uni) legon is well ranked.

They are clinging to the obviously corrupted times higher education ranking the last two years and ingnoring the rest of university Rankin out there that shows their universities are not up the scratch

Abohboy:
Look at what the Lagos state government has planned for makoko it is actually so beautiful

Planning is wet dreams.Do it.

obaaderemi:
I told them last year that University of Ibadan will beat University of Nairobi and university of Ghana again this year,they thought we were joking. University of Ghana and University of Nairobi can only compete with the likes of our university of Ilorin. Even from the way you see the Ghanaians and Kenyans argue here,it's a testament to the fact that they are products of useless university systems,if they are graduates at all to start with.

Something wrong with Times Higher Education ranking the last few years...it doesn't correlate with other ranking by other institutions.Probably some Nigerian is corrupting them.

Kazikazi:
Why are u complicating the obvious?
Let me help you..

KQ oparates 40 planes,out of those..
20 are leased from unknown guys( politicians and foreigners)
17 are under higher purchase( rent to buy),
3 are fully owned,or fully paid.

So,KQ is selling some of those in those last two categories above. It means they will sell,pay back the some money to the manufacturers and they will remain with some cash.Mind you,they do that to reduce the loss but not to make profit! The total money they gave the manufacturers for years is less than what they will get in those 7 aircrafts!

Nonsense.KQ has leased out planes.It cannot lease when it leases them out

Actually Frederick De Klerk grandfather was amongst Eldoret founders https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nation.co.ke/counties/uasingishu/Where-Boers-made-their-laws-and-prayed-/1183334-1139264-view-asAMP-vxvtv3/index.html

Kazikazi:
It looks like you are just obsessed with Tanzania. How can we plant maize everywhere? Do u think all of Tz land has the same PH? Do u know 32% of Tanzania is under conservation? What about our Dodoma vineyards? Sisal?cloves,coffee, tea,beans,cashews etc? Do u still talk about maize everywhere?

Your article has holes! No seed type,no little details like spacing etc. Because by giving out those details,we could get the exact amount of maize produced per hectare.

Anyway,I agree, average farmer in Kenya gets 10 bags per acre! Which is about 2 and half tonnes per acre.

You have nearly 5m hectares under maize..Kenya barely 1.5m hectares.Serious maize planting in Kenya is done in former white Highlands.Many Boers moved to Kenya Eldoret in 1900s after Anglo-Boer war when they lost Transvaal.Eldoret is a city started by Boers.I think De Clerk was born in Eldoret.They are still a few boers but majority of farms are now owned by Kenyans.If you know farming youll know Dutch including those Boers are the best farmers worldwide running farms from Brazil,canada, us name it https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessdailyafrica.com/lifestyle/society/Eldoret-the-town-that-South-African-Boers-started-/3405664-1323654-view-asAMP-lvycrnz/index.html

Kazikazi:
Those guys are not in 2019,Probably they are in stone age.
But is there any other people in Africa in such a terrible state?

Not seen indigenous people even down south like the Khoisan before

Kazikazi:
There is no farm in Kenya,TZ,SA or anywhere in Africa which makes 100 bags per hectare ( 10 tph). If u argue,just bring a proof. The only nation does that is USA not even Europe.

And to get that that,you need to use GM. SA with their GM gets only 4 tph. Kenya is less than 2 tph.

Its very hard talking agriculture to fellows who starve and knows nothing about farming

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nation.co.ke/business/seedsofgold/How-I-harvest-40-bags-of-maize-per-acre/2301238-2226170-view-asAMP-tnca3lz/index.html. In Kenya serious maize cultivation is done mostly around Eldoret.. about 100kms radius from Eldoret is Kenya maize planting region...not everywhere like Tanzania where maize is grown without any care.There farmers produce on average 3-4 tonnes an acre...10-12 tonnes an hectares... so maybe you should visit and learn serious maize farming

Stevoh18:
Do your research again as I said you nothing apart from ' food"...

I did an extensive research about your residential estates without any biased or intentions to get the negatives or bad sides..., and this what I found, this is where Tanzanian "middle class" live, these are the equivalent of Nairobi estates like South B, Buruburu, Donholm, Greenspan

please they have no concepts of estate like Nigeria don't....think free for all... build anything you can afford

Kazikazi:
You with big brain just go and eradicate hunger in Kenya.Go and "unslum" your nation of that shame in kibera,mukuru kwa njenga,mathare, huruma,majengo,kahawa,mathare shamba,Bangladeshi in Mombasa,and all others like that new slum in kariobangi
Hohohohoho

Nairobi has slums but your entire city outside tiny CBD is one huge slum.Darslums.

I'm eagerly awaiting the latest total national bank assets-they've grown significantly this year alone!



https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/business/Equity-KCB-regional-buyout/2560-5274950-aphqv5z/index.html

IIRC,rvp2018 had our TBA at some 40 bn$ as of late 2017. Also Equity and KCB are cementing their presence regionally while the Giant repetitively reminds us all of their 'domination' here with the GT nobody has heard of doubtless due to their stealth market capture campaign. Ohh wow! Apparently they're closing one of their major branches.

I think Congo is new play.. francophone.We really cannot expand South coz of South Africa deep pockets...so central Africa and north Africa is on play..I think if we get Nigeria and Ethiopia..we would have cornered Africa.But DRC is big pie.If you the avoid the mineral and focus on other ignored sectors..it a sweatspot.Equity and Serena hotels...are discovering what KQ long found out... Africa is very profitable.You just have to avoid South Sudan kind of crisis where you're stuck with worthless money...so play hard currencies.We need to buy Ethiopia power..that way we can get a legroom inside..they will want to do business.

Logobenz0:
View this Link and see the reason why they're calling Nigeria the giant of Africa

You're too small for Nigeria

Only 50 with some office.We are talking those that have chosen Nairobi has its regional HQ including United Nations only HQ in the whole of Southern Hemisphere.Nairobi is taking over from Joburg.Oxfam moved it's global HQ from London to Nairobi.

samorobo:
Obviously your stupidity has blinded to the point that you no longer knows what goes on in your country..fool all contractors be it chinese or kenyan were arrested for defying the county planning laws by encroaching on the chiromo close public lane which feeds chiromo road then waiyaki way plus your real estate sector is dwindling. Your only hope for that project completion should be the fact that the project has reached a reasonable height else i would have just said you should forget it

GTC resolved those issues quickly ,all the six towers are topped out and cladding is now being done

Kazikazi:
Why don't we just count everything which is in Dar vs that of Nairobi? Let's start with completed towers.30 floors and above!
I start..
Ppt headquarters in Dar es salaam.35 floors,

We have done this severally.Your empty towers...that your ujamaa built to compete with Kenya...are nowhere near NAI.Dont even talk about those approved or under construction.Nairobi is Africa most dynamic city.Darslums like Lagos has office glut lasting 10yrs.Who occupy that desolate building.Another Abuja cattle kraal with empty office blocks. Your inferiority complex against Kenya is your downfall.Building 35 floor skyscraper in a bush.My friend we build skyscraper's coz land in Westland or upper hill or CBD is damn expensive...so you maximize vertical.Its not an ego thing.Ask Abuja.A cattle kraal full of civil servants

Acadavah:
That is shit you are talking. You say of pictures, videos and rankings of which comparison? Is there any picture, videos or ranking which you show that gave us the numerijcal estate worthy of Nairobi? The only data that you can currently get is that from the world bank that estimate Dar estate worthy USd 12billion while Nairobi only USd 9billion. If there is another data from WB just give us!!! I know that is so hard for you Kenyans to swallow.

If you think Nairobi real estate is worth 9b dollars then can't be helped.That is like Mombasa to Naivasha SGR...5B dollars.Do you know an acre in Nairobi can go as high as 10m dollars.A house... residential house as high as 5m dollars.. majority in residential upper class start at 1m dollars...youre saying only 12k of those are in Nairobi.and typically rent as high as 10k dollars a month.Kenyatta undeveloped land in Nairobi is worth more than 12b dollar punk.Upperhill alone in land value is worth more than 12B.punk.Average land in Nairobi upper hill and Westland is 5m dollars.Punk Safaricom alone is worth12B dollars.

tylann:
How many should we compare our skyscrapers

Dar has only 3 blue skyscrapers it should compete with Mombasa not Nairobi

He doesn't even realize in Africa no Africa city come near Nairobi in skyscraper under construction....that is why Nairobi is only city in top top 20 in most dynamic cities.. actually number six...competing with Indian and Chinese cities.

Acadavah:
Can you give us any data from any organization which estimate the estate worthy of Dar and Nairobi so we can compare. I have asked this to Tylan to give thatf 2019 or 2018 report from the world bank and he failed. This is a fact according to current Word bank report Dar worthy more than Nairobi, if there is any new report you can show us here.

What do you think we have been doing in these 5000 pages.Darslums is not comparable to Nairobi unless you're blind, deaf and dumb.We have provided videos, pictures, rankings, name it...not just one story...get it ujamaaa dude.Dar, Kampala, Mombasa,Abuja,Addis...those are comparable.Nairobi is in another league.The only thing Dar has an extra is TPA twin towers.. Mombasa is getting soon.Mombasa port is twice bigger than Dar.Mombasa hotels twice bigger than Dar.Only Zanzibar competes.Etc.Maybe Darslums has more slums like Kinshasa or any DRC city....than Mombasa.Nairobi Moto ya kuotea mbali.Ask Joburg.

tylann:
Largest in terms of population nothing else

Maybe he find us corroborating or supporting evidence apart from that strange news from Kenya Daily Nation.
