The report says Nigeria’s social spending (mainly on health, education and social protection) is “shamefully low.” And those meager levels are reflected in reality as Nigeria is home to the highest number of out-of-school children

You sound like a stupid Tanzanian. But I could be wrong. Where is Nyamataro. Nigeria is only rich when Oil is earning top dollars. When it tanks - the country literally also tanks. In 2010-2014 when Oil was trading at over 100 dollars a barrel - they were having a party - but when it dropped to 40s - they've been crying in the toilet. If Oil drops to 20 dollars a barrel..the country will break into revolution or a civil war.

How can a country that pays it teacher or policemen or army men about half what they earn in kenya be RICH?

A country 5 times the pop of kenya with Gov budget about equal to Kenya?

How can it be rich - when malnutrition is rampant and when it's been declared the world capital of poverty - where 70% of residents are poor.

Or you watch too much nollywood movies

cossano:
i know Kenyans and our foolish pride, unlike many of you, am an open minded person, yes am Kenyan and i come from kisii, right now living in nyamataro if you care to know. no matter how hard you try to push it, Kenya is still below Nigeria, in sub-Saharan africa, it has always been Nigeria, South-Africa, then kenya, although angola is also richer than Kenya.

You don't need to grow rice to eat rice. Rice, Wheat, Maize and most of these low-value crops are produced and sold cheaply in world market. When you have small arable land like kenya - you want to concentrate on high value crops - that will earn you income - enough to buy cheap food and also retains some savings & investment.

You cannot plant maize or wheat in 1 acre small-holder farmers like you've got in Kenya. You have to think about high value high yielding crops that are exported to Europe and US. And you can buy cheap maize or beans or cassava in the international market.

Kenya is transitioning into such crops.....that fetch top dollar abroad...and most importantly adding value to their produce. We are going to stop bulk export - and start selling our branded tea, coffee, nuts, avacados....that is already underway.

Acadavah:
I mean your leading only those flowers, tea and avocado. Don't tell me people can survive while you concentrate to produce these.

Precisely - we need to raise enrollment from 200K to 1M - this is why Jubilee has been making it hard to get university - thro mass failures - that forces people to think TIVET.

Germany is industrial giant thanks to TIVET (vocational colleges).

We don't need all that many arts degrees graduates.

cossano:
these graduates includes TVETS graduate, and yes the government is trying to channel more students towards TVETS. in the former Nyanza province, the national government is building and equiping TVETS with modern equipment i have never seen before., there is one in Nyabondo,Kisumu county i visited last week, boy i tell you it is modern, i'll post the pics soon. TVETS are the engines that will power kenyas great leap forward. i agree 100%

Precisely

cossano:
Kenya has led Africa in allocation of funds to the education sector for the last 6 years, with allocation accounting to over 23% of the national budget, these is one of the reason, Kenyan graduates are more than the entire east Africa graduates combined. education is what will drive Africa going forward not natural resources.

You need to read it slowpoke.

samorobo:
Nonsense your post never said you earn $30bn.
Try harder

Africa has more than 1B people. You can keep the 200m poor nigeria anyway because honestly MNCs who have tried investing there have bad story....VW sold 14 cars a year...too much poverty before you deal with lack of basic infrastructure..like electricity and the grindlock at Apapa port complex. The ease of doing business index says everything.

samorobo:
Kenya nah.
Maybe south africa and egypt.
But that is not the main point.
We are investing too much in our manufacturing sector to just com and paralyse it by taking 90% off as tariff.
How are we going to boost that sector knowing we would definitely produce more than any african country all thanks to our able work force, while we get little import from others.
This kind of deals are meant for countries with smaller population as they would produce less but gain more not nigeria with its enormous population

Nigeria has the second highest burden of stunted children in the world, with a national prevalence rate of 43 percent of children under five - translating into 16.5 million children

samorobo:
Stop trying to console your self . You are dt as starving.
Nigeria & tanzania does not drag that with you

Easy Kid. I know you won't read. It honestly beyond your paygrade
https://www.knbs.or.ke/download/economic-survey-2018/

samorobo:
Keep your high school maths aside and show me where you now earn $30bn.
You had better wake up from that dream.
Not only $30bn both $100bn.
Nonsense

You're just afraid because you cannot hack competition. You don't export anything now beyond Oil and few cocoa beans. You biggest worry is Kenya, South Africa and Egypt companies rolling over you.

samorobo:
I pray we don't sign that deal.
It will crumble our manufacturing sector.
Imagine us manufacturing a car and take 90% tariff off because we want to sell to a neighbouring african country.
Enjoy your deal

Precisely they don't get it. They are busy producing tonnes of sorghum, millet, cassava, yams and such useless food. Check their malnutrition rate. Nigeria is 2nd leading worldwide...the same with Tanzania...nearly 40% are malnourished. Don't even talk about the mental stunting. That is why they cannot communicate in English despite being the language of instructions in their schools.

The fools are here after eating lots of yams for breakfast, cassava for lunch, fufu & plantain for super - and then sorghum beer - and they wonder why they are malnourished. Their meat intake is very bad. Their milk intake very bad.

Baliv254:
.

Kenya little arable land produces high value agricultural cash crops often exported through planes to europe ,china and america as it buys low value cheap food crops from tanzania.
Kenya is actually the agricultural giant of East Africa and makes more money from agriculture than all countries in east africa including tanzania..

How have you exposed it? Kenya agricluture GDP is roughly 30% now - And Kenya GDP is roughly 100B by end of this year....so fool 30% of 100B dollars....30B dollars.

samorobo:
Long story.
Show ME where you are now earning $30bn anually from agriculture.
Liar I have successfully exposed your boastful lie

While you are busy producing useless yams, sorghums and millet (check your MALNURTITION RATE....Kenya is producing vegetables and fruits that are dominating grocery stores of Europe.

NAIROBI, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Kenya earned 153.68 billion shillings ($1.53 billion) from horticulture exports in 2018, 33 percent higher than 115.32 billion shillings a year earlier, according to a joint statement by three industry bodies issued on Tuesday.

Flowers earned 113.17 billion shillings, compared with 82.25 billion shillings in 2017, while vegetables fetched 27.69 billion shillings as against 24.06 billion shillings, said the statement by the Kenya Flower Council, Fresh Produce Exporters Association of Kenya and the Fresh Produce Consortium.

Fruits earned 12.83 billion shillings as against 9 billion shillings in the previous year, it added. ($1 = 100.4000 Kenyan shillings) (Reporting by Omar Mohammed; Editing by George Obulutsa)

Kenya is well known agricultural giant - despite being 89% Arid and Semi-Arid. We don't do maize, millet, cassava, sorghum and such useless crops anymore - but are transitioning into high-value crops. We will leave Nigeria and Tanzania to produces all those useless cereals and garb..for cheap. And even if you don't starve - such kind of foods - can never meet your calorific needs - and you end up physical and mental stunted like the average Tanzanian or Nigerian.

For example last year:Kenya overtakes South Africa to become Africa's biggest exporter of avocados
Kenya's impressive volumetric growth rate per year and access to new markets have helped the country to overtake South Africa as the number one exporter of avocados from Africa. The East African country became the largest exporter of avocados in Africa in 2017, exporting a record volume of 51,507 tons to the world. South Africa, traditionally the lead exporter of the world fruit from the Agriculture-rich continent, relinquished the position and trailed Kenya for the first time ever in history with 43,492 tons.

samorobo:
@bolder that is the dumbest shiitest lie you have ever told on NL.
Just ask you self this honest questions if your agricultural sector is worth $30bn anually do you think you would still be $89bn economy which is filled with debt and white investment.

Or do you think your people would still. Be starving?
How could you even come up with such lie knowing fully well that you only possess 11% arable land?

Take it easy with these lie.
So if I should get you write agicultural sector alone can make you a $120bn economy.
Boy you lie

We don't depend on you for anything - there is enough food in high seas if we ever need. It you maize and beans farmers who depend on Kenya to fill the small deficit once in a while. Kenya agriculture is now worth 30B dollars annually..while TZ entire gdp is around 55B. Kenya export food (tea, coffee, horticulture, milk, nuts & fruits) worth billions of dollars. And all these from just 11% of Arable Land.

You need to advance beyond planting maize, beans and cassava to be taken seriously. Uganda are following Kenya footsteps - and are doing great in coffee, dairy and other high yielding crops.

Planting cassava, millet and potatos - will only lead to the obvious - MALNUTRITION- those are LOW QUALITY FOOD that feel your stomach with nothing really.

Acadavah:
Kenya has irrigated land of 1030 sqkm(est 2012) while Tanzania has 1840 sqkm(est 2012) and we still have plenty of seasonal rain that's why your government beg ours to sell you maize when you are starving. In Tanzania we produce rice, maize, cassava, potatoes, banana, millet, sorghum etc and you Kenyans depend on us to sell to you. We are not lazy, infact gallivant, your so ignorant with blatant claims. I have respect for tylann, he have some reasoning but only not in Turkana issue.

You banned export of maize and beans - and there was no mass starvation. Kenya is an agriclutural giant - doing a miracle on 11% of it's arable land - compared to TZ farmers just growing dirty-cheap low calories maize, beans and cassava...year in year out...and ending up in penury.

In meantime Kenya farmer are transitioning to high-value crops and livestock - because we can always afford to buy your dirty cheap maize and beans.

At the moment Tanzania is feeding Kenya.Without Tanzania, Kenyans will die from massive starvation

Too hungry to find a link

Situation
As of March 2019, Nigeria’s Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states hosted an estimated 1.8 million internally displaced persons. Additionally, the insurgency had forced nearly 237,000 Nigerians to flee into neighboring areas of Cameroon, Chad and Niger, according to the UN.
More than 2.9 million people in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe will face Crisis (Phase 3) or worse levels of acute food insecurity and require urgent food assistance between June and August 2019, the most recent Cadre Harmonisé (CH) analysis indicates. This figure represents a slight decrease from the estimated 3.0 million people who were in need during the same period last year.
Violence and resultant displacement in northeastern Nigeria continue to undermine agricultural, market, and livelihoods activities in the region, according to the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET). As a result, many conflict-affected households remain reliant on humanitarian assistance to meet their daily needs, and Crisis (IPC 3) and Emergency (IPC 4) levels of acute food insecurity will persist in much of Borno, as well as parts of Adamawa and Yobe, through at least September.* FEWS NET also reports that food security outcomes in areas that relief actors cannot reach are likely similar to—or worse than—conditions in adjacent, accessible areas.
* The Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) is a standardized tool that aims to classify the severity and magnitude of food insecurity. The IPC scale, which is comparable across countries, ranges from Minimal (IPC 1) to Famine (IPC 5). The CH, a similar tool used in West Africa, has a separate scale ranging from Minimal (Phase 1) to Famine (Phase 5).

Response
USAID’s Office of Food for Peace (FFP) has provided emergency food assistance to crisis-affected populations in northeastern Nigeria since FY 2015. In partnership with the UN World Food Program (WFP) (link is external), FFP delivers cash-based and in-kind food and nutrition assistance to vulnerableNigerians.
FFP also works with non-governmental organizations to assist an estimated 800,000 people in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe by distributing locally purchased food, cash transfers, and food vouchers, increasing access to healthy foods and fostering the recovery of local economies. FFP’s partners also conduct complementary nutrition and livelihoods activities—such as malnutrition screenings, cooking demonstrations, and business-management trainings—that help families meet dietary requirements and strengthen their income-generating opportunities.
To improve crop production and increase self-reliance, FFP collaborates with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) (link is external) to reach an estimated 156,000 individuals in northeastern Nigeria with agricultural starter kits of seeds and fertilizers.

You probably did spend 12 years being schooled in English and you cannot construct basic English sentences...and dare call anyone else low IQ.

The same tragic scenario is seen in Tanzania.

Kenya is more food secure than Nigeria and Tanzania. And we are talking real food - not useless cassava fufu - but balanced diet kind of meals.

between Nigeria, Tanzania and Kenya which country club s hopeless and retrogressive, ehn you chang'aa drunkard you called countries that are more freedom than you cow blood drinkers those two great countries Naija and Tanzania are feeding well.
