Yes - and I think we are - we need to think about Africa Free Trade - and then we really need to look up north - Ethiopia if they ever open up - would be 100M - more than TZ, UG, RWA, BU & South Sudan. I think as strategy we really need to get into the 3 laggards - Ethiopia, DRC & Nigeria - and make money before they wake up - esp in services sectors.

We just have to go it alone. The protectionism in East Africa and the petty beefs are dragging EAC's integration.Look at Uganda and Rwanda for instance! It's high time we think the rest of Africa and global!

Barely two months after its proposal, the Federal Government on September 19, 2018, announced the suspension of the Nigeria Air, describing the move as a tough decision[6].

I wonder if they were even re-admitted to IATA - they owe huge debts. GoT has to buy the planes - like Kenya's presidential jet - and then lease it to them - because if Air TZ start owning anything - their creditors will seize it.
tylann:
Air tz has no planes all the planes are leased from the govt
Kq has 20 planes the other 20 are leased
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rvp2018: 12:39pm On Mar 12, 2019
I doubt Air Peace own one functional Boeing Jet. They signed a sales agreement at US Embassy smiley - and somehow Boeing delivered the plane.
68816419:
why are you avoiding Nigeria? grin grin grin Now compare the (3 real owned KQ aircraft ) with what "Nigerian-Privately" owned airlines got
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rvp2018: 12:33pm On Mar 12, 2019
The two laggards are at it. Nigeria has no national airline. It probably no private international airline that flies across their border.

KQ has 40 airplanes - that it operates - it also owns subsidaires including JamboJet that fly regionally now to Uganda, Burundi & Somalia..it also owns majority shareholding of Tanzania's Precision/Flamingo Airline. KQ also operates Cargo business.

Now let look at Nigeria airline industry again. Nigeria airways is still dead as dodo. Their private airlines are the world worst contraption tied together with duct tapes.

And what about the laggards Tanzania. Tanzania Airways is dead as dodo. It has zero planes. It still owes huge debts that it failed to service when it was declared bankrupt few years ago. And GoT has bought and leased 4 planes to TZ Airways. TZ Airways cannot even dream of buying or owning one plane....

You cannot compare the Kenya Airways that generate 1B dollars of revenues with your jokers.

Every major coorporation has debt. South African Airways is indebted - but still has planes it owns and operates. Name any other airline. This is not Kiosk business.

68816419:
well said bro, I love your style bro, Tanzania is the real giant of east Africa, less foreign debt, real owners of airlines .

Nigeria is surviving thanks to Oil. If oil prices tank - Biafra will happen. Nigeria will not be able to function without oil - the gov will basically collapse -the military will take over - and then civil war will start.
vaxx:
Biafra will continue to failed because it was NOT supported by the real power brokers of the world at the beginning and at present. and as for now, Nigeria isn't ready. At least judging from all indications it will hardly come light. reasons :

1 The Igbos leaders supposedly to lead the movement are divided

2 Those in favor of this movement have little-to-no knowledge on it.

3 They dont follow the necessary procedures.
Some of the movement leaders are massively corrupt.

but in some cases I support this motion, if a particular group wants to break out and are having necessary plans and materials to run a Country with human welfare then they should be granted freedom but that is not the case, they are about to form another south Sudan while i guess those illiterate supporting actualization of biafra are simply seeking for Goverment attention. they don't really want biafra deep in them.

You're very daft indeed. Put the link here. Nigeria revenues is about 6% of it's GDP. THE WORLD WORST. I am not sure what you're pasting there.

The data I know - Federal IGR are about 10-13B dollars - all the states IGR are about 2B dollars(with Lagos shy of 2B in 2018 - and about 1B dollars in 2016). Total revenue excluding LCA is about 15B dollars.

In fact Nigeria federal budget is something like 25B dollars. All the states budgets despite crazly ambitious estimates are less than 15B. And this include deficit financing - lots of BORROWINGs.

68816419:
Are you daft of what?
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rvp2018:
When did Kenya external debt rise. And Kenya total revenues is about 20B - more than Nigeria total federal+all the 36 states.

And madman - Lagos will generate IGR of 20B dollars in year 2150 or about. Maybe 200 yrs from now.

Lagos IGR is not even 2B dollars.And that is about the combined IGR of the rest of Nigeria states.

Lagos IGR in 2018 in 2018 average 34B Naira monthly - which is less than 10M dollars - so total IGR is definitely less than 1B dollars.


Nigeria GDP is overcooked.

68816419:
how Dfck do you even compare these two countries ?
Kenya=
50million people with 47 counties, $90B economy, Fx $8B, external debt of $48B,Total counties(states) IRG(2018) $11B,
Nigeria=
200million people with only 36 states, $490B economy, Fx $46B, external debts of $11B,Lagos states IGR(2018) $20B.

Sound like South Sudanese primitives. North Nigeria need to be recolonized.

That one is very popular. Especually in the north.. cities like Kano. In Lagos they are a little discreet. You wake up in the morning and see shít. In Kano they squat by the roads , at roundabouts, in broad daylight and do their business not giving a fúck. Ironically if you stand and pee they will frown at you and call you infidel. If you squat and pee ita okay
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rvp2018: 1:36pm On Mar 07, 2019
It's leadership induced. Nyerere was anti-kenyan because we rejected his communist ideology. He took his tiff with Kenyatta so hard eventually EAC collapsed and Kenya & TZ border was closed for years. Mwinyi-Mkapa-Kikwete had no serious issues with kenya - just the usual national interest. Mwinyi & Mkapa restarted EAC with Moi & Museveni - and EAC integration was moving full speed until the current slowpoke Magufuli came into the scene.

Their current president is so anti-Kenyan - and what is basically remaining for him to top Nyerere - is to collapse EAC (he has stone-walled it) and close the border.

You can imagine Kenya-Uganda trade nows is 1.2 billion dollars - with Uganda in 2018 for firs time enjoying a positive trade balance. TZ -Kenya trade under Magufuli has dropped from 600M dollars to 180m dollars per annum and failing. I also checked communication - voice & sms calls btw Kenya & TZ - it is dead - the hostility against kenya is so much - what remains basically is for TZ to close their border. Last year when Kenya had drought and there was maize shortage - TZ banned export of Maize. They found natural gas but they would rather sell it to anybody but Kenya.

Kenya and TZ are suppose to be very close and friendly. Closer than Uganda because of Kiswahili but their MYOPIC leadership has basically turned brothers and sisters into enemies. Rivalry is okay but Magufuli TZ is basically a Kenya enemy like Alshabab.

I am not sure why Magufuli hate kenya - he tends to be a little child in emotions - but maybe because he feels his friend Raila was rigged and kenya did support his opponent (LOWASSA) - because he is Maasai.

TZ & Kenya are basically about done. If Magufuli stays another few more years - I see even border at some point getting barricaded.

That is what Nigeria never gets. They talk about GDP to Debt but wait until you read their debt to revenue - their ability to service the loan. They are definitely the worst in Africa - which explain why nobody can lend them any serious money.

Kenya seem as dry as Somali - yet produce & export lot more agricluture goods than all it's lazy neighbors with favourable climate.

Look at Tanzania - huge arable land - and incredibly lazy witch-craft practicing primitives.

Let not even talk about the ZOO - Nigeria - where everywhere is nearly arable - but poverty is now out of this world.

On a good day in Nairobi - you can see Africa highest point (mt Kilimanjaro) and 2nd highest (Mt Kenya). Both of which lies roughly 150-200kms from Nairobi.

1) Mt Kenya in background.
2) Mt Kilimanjaro

Huge snow-capped mountains - and once complete - The Pinnacle - will be Africa tallest building at 300 meter plus.

I am glad they retained all that content - after reducing the subjects. Kenya education is pretty awesome. They don't need to change a whole lot of it. They just need to focus on vocational training.
Jonraid:
A pity indeed,how could the curriculum not give mentions to some of this history movers?

Before age 14, a Kenyan child would have known of Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt,Ahmed Ben Bella of Algeria,Siad Barre of Somalia,Leopold Senghor of Senegal,not forgetting the likes of Nkurumah,Nyerere,Milton Obote,Haile Selassie,Nelson Mandela and among many others who leaved a mark in the trails of African history!

We would learn of gold mining in Ghana and South Africa,copper mining in Zambia and Uganda,Diamond mining in Tanzania and SA,crude oil extraction in Libya and Egypt.The curriculum gave us all these,we would be tested on what's being mined in Witwatersrand,Mwadui and Kilembe.You'll be asked when Ghana gained independence and the nobel prize winners of Vilakazi.You might also be asked of the Aswan high dam of Egypt and the Danakil Alps of Ethiopia.All these was just at primary level.It was even more expanded in secondary where the social studies was broken into two subjects in history and geography! It's impossible for me to just write up on what we really got from the curriculum,it's impossible to say the least!

Okay that may explain it - Nigerians are using Ghana to make fraudulent applications - because they are no longer eligible for green card. I think Ghana need to really work on that - you cannot be happy to have 2.3M application (assume each applicant has a family of 2 or 3) - that is huge number of Ghanian expressing their lack of confidence in the future of Ghana. The future that appears to me to be bright and really hopeful. As for UK - all commonwealth countries - of course consider UK - their second home - just like France is for the francophone. That though is changing - UK is now completely over-shadowed by it's rogue colony the US.

The sentimental reason about US being great or liking Ghanians is lame excuse. People are migrating for practical reasons - to get good paying jobs, education and enjoy high standard of living in the US.Bottom-line: If your quality of life is improving; you should see reduce need for immigration.

chrisagyei:
You know,we just love our America,The land of the brave and home of the free.And about UK,in the 70' and 80s,that's where our intellects considered their Academic homes when Ghana was having developmental issues.And we still regard it as our spiritual home.There is still traditional connection.And they offering our nurses free and automatic employment because they were well trained until our government introduced automatic employment of graduate nurses.That has helped minimize the brain drain of our nurses.And we're the highest winners and biggest beneficiaries of US visa lottery.Nigerians were disqualified so they applied through Ghana and they also apply most of their US and South African visas in Ghana in thousands with fake and original Ghanaian resident permits because they say it's much easier and faster to obtain these visas in Ghana due to our high positive reputation and track records.America recently built its 1 billion dollar US embassy facility in Accra, Ghana.In Ghana,when you tell anyone you're emigrating to Asia that's Dubai,Qatar,Korea or even Japan,they will first tell you what the hell are you going to do over there.Better stay in Ghana.And the mass immigration in the 198Os due to severe draught and famine and hardship in 1983 has hunted us till now.We still feel insecure upon our unprecedented and unmatched progress and development and America is what comes into our minds first.
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rvp2018: 11:53am On Mar 04, 2019
That doesn't explain why nearly 30% of Ghanians are 'desperately' applying for a green card when they have the world fastest economic growth. Its not like immigrants will find streets paved with Gold in the US. You'll end up literally cleaning toilets. I can understand people from desperate countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia, and war torn countries trying to immigrate to US and any other country.

Why Ghanians fed up and desperate to go to US?

Anyway in Kenya and most of East Africa - I think middle east (Dubais, Qatars) are now probably where most people immigrate to. US long lost it allure because people know you'll end up either a nurse or janitor with very limited upper mobility. UK is dead and buried. They don't even allow students to work anymore.

chrisagyei:
It's because firstly we are the second country worldwide with the highest favourable ratings of America after the Philippines.Over here,we don't regard you if you claim to be an immigrant of all the European countries except UK which we see as our spiritual or second home due to the exclusive relationship with the King of Ashanti Kingdom(one of the most powerful Kings in Africa),the King of Akyeam Abuakwa State and Queen Elizabeth II with the UK Royal Family.They visit eachother regularly.And about America,that's the only country we deem fit to call Abroad.The rest are highly disregarded with high underratingsWe are visa free and visa on arrival to Singapore and about 74 different countries buh we never use them.It's America or stay in Ghana.Buh that is reducing drastically.We now travel verv less cos we say Ghana has everything we need now so it's the affluent ones that travel for holidays and job or business purposes or to visit family
Foreign AffairsRe: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rvp2018: 10:57am On Mar 04, 2019
Vax - Why are nearly 1/3 Ghanians (I assume 2.3*4 in each household) trying to immigrate to US in such shocking numbers? Or these are Nigerians who are trying to beat their ineligibility.

Globally, Ghana had the highest number of entrants at 2,227,5230. Other countries with high numbers of entrants included Uzbekistan (2.1 million), Iran (1.6 million), Ukraine (1.4 million), Egypt (1.2 million), Nepal (1.18 million), and Ethiopia (1.05 million).

400K kenyans want to immigrate.
