Any reasonable Nigerian left Nigeria. Only the zoombies are left there and they too are trying to cross the Sahara to escape Nigeria. The brain drain is real. Those left are either daft or resigned to their fate or crooks. They've imported 70M generators - the zoombies cannot think straight. https://i0.wp.com/www.icirnigeria.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/generators.jpg https://www.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/generating-sets.jpeg [img]https://informationengine.files./2017/03/e28098nigeria-imports-70m-generators_.jpg[/img] https://i0.wp.com/www.herald.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Generators-at-work.jpg?resize=474%2C515&ssl=1 Tell me one country in planet earth that would ran generators for 20 or 30 yrs without a national revolution. You can imagine 1hr black out can make blood boil for many - but having electricity on average for 4hrs every day - out of 24hrs - for generations. kikuyu1: |
I guess Nigeria replaced Niger. Not too bad. And you think East African just starve for fun. People who starve in Africa are mainly those living in ecological unstable zones prone to drought & of course those affected by war. In East Africa - Ethiopia was the poster child - but it's made tremendous progress. Now it's just Somalia & South Sudan. Nowenuse: |
And with all oil money you're blessed with - you still need UN to feed them? Nowenuse: |
It's Nigeria which is in big trouble - because every minute - there are many Nigeria joining poverty. bantudra: |
Kenya this year marked a milestone - when WFP exited from feeding 1.5M kids in semi arid & arid areas. This a program that ran since 1980s. So the narrative of northern kenya starving is pretty much on it's last chapter. We have to thank M-pesa mobile money for make it possible for gov to quickly intervene when there is drought by wiring money to people in need. You should know China exited from WFP school feeding program around 2000s. So this important milestone for kenya. https://www.wfp.org/news/news-release/government-takes-over-school-meals-kenya-world-food-programme |
Kenya long moved from UN begging bowl. You should ask UN WFP. In fact even our school feeding is now funded by our gov. In meantime Nigeria - the whole of North East - now depend on UN agencies to feed. And yet you've got all the oil. Just compare http://www1.wfp.org/countries/nigeria And http://www1.wfp.org/countries/Kenya Nigeria is on the red...WFP is in the process of exiting Kenya..because there is no more people starving here. The poor are getting monthly transfers from gov every month. You have 7.7 million in need of humanitarian assistance in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe states. bantudra: |
Many kenyans use to starve - not many now as social safety consisting of cash transfer has lifted many out of poverty - but as far as UN WFP goes 2017/2018 - Nigeria is one of four nations on the brink of famine. Yemen, South Sudan and Somalia are also facing dire hunger, in what U.N. officials say is the largest humanitarian crisis since the international body's creation. https://www.voanews.com/a/world-food-program-warns-severe-/3815169.html And with all the OIL The U.N. agency needs $200 million to keep feeding Nigeria's hunger-stricken population.

They starve. Niger, Nigeria, Mali, Kenya and many africa countries have citizens still facing starvation. We have at least 10-20% of our population constantly staring at starvation and we are working on building a social safety net for them using mobile money - and we are suceeding. Nowenuse: |
Idiot. Those are very large countries. Russia has enough land to produces all the wheat we need. Tanzania all the cheap maize & beans we need - although Maguful will ban export to Kenya so we starve . We have very little arable land that we need to maximize...and our model should be to follow Isreal & Netherlands.Kazikazi: |
Nope. You import everything including tomato paste. You only excel in producing yams and cassavas. Nowenuse: |
Niger & Mali obviously starve every year. I was just trying to dissuade you from thinking Northern Nigeria is the same with Northern Kenya. Northern Nigeria is arable and produces a lot of food.Northern Kenya (2/3 of Kenya) is mostly semi-arid and arid. We have a desert named Chalbi. Nowenuse: |
Sell us maize - well your cheese! Sell us beans - we sell you avacados! Kenya has a very small arable land that it cannot afford to waste farming cheap cereals which are plentifully in global markets. Nowenuse: |
They live in very rough place - even the mighty British could never colonize them - they were left alone. What do you propose they farm here? Only the Camel can survive northern Kenya https://www.worldvision.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Kari-Kenya-Blog-Feature-850x478.jpg https://mobile.nation.co.ke/image/view/-/3878152/medRes/1607623/-/7lx6a8z/-/4.jpg [img]https://advancinganimalhealth.files./2013/10/imag0410.jpg[/img] Nowenuse: |
Nobody is starving in kenya. We have surplus food. They only starve when there is drought - rainfall fails - otherwise we have put in place to ensure they nerve starve again. There is cash transfer to such poor families. Nigeria are the guys starving in North East. Nowenuse: |
The Queen gave German Prince Mt Kilimanjaro because we had Mt Kenya Mt Kilimanjaro - Technical in Kenya - Lazy Tanzania have had to literally police the mountain so tourist can go to TZ to climb it.https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7377/12252579634_583877a1ed_h.jpg Mt Kenya - gave the country it's name. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7261/13221116515_dc91b34d53_h.jpg |
Those are turkanas. Not Maasai. They are many indigenous tribes in Kenya. Something you Nigeria don't even have. Slaveryisgood: |

Maasai - are Africa most popular tribe - for something. They are proudly African. The nearest you got in Nigeria to this? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CcORacsW8AEf2b7.jpg Slaveryisgood: |
We should let lazy Tanzanians and Uganda farm Maize & Beans - and then sell to us cheaply. I don't think kenya can afford to waste it small arable land farming cheap cereals - like Wheat/Rice/Maize/Beans - If I had my way that is - I'd let our farmers do high intensive farmng - tea, coffee, nuts, dairy, horticulture, floriculture, fruits. Nowenuse: |
That of course is false. Most our agriculture is at back of small-holder farmers and big farms are not owned by Brits - save I told very few. Our big success has been tea - the major contributor - has been Kenya Tea Dev Agency - small scale farmers. KTDA is a success by almost any criteria of assessment. When British left only about 1,000 hectares of tea grown by some 5,000 Africa smallholders produced only one-fifteenth(1/15) as much as Kenya's multinational tea estates. As we speak now KTDA has more than 500,000 farmers and produces more than 70% of kenyan Tea. Kenya has slowly climbed it's way to become World LARGEST EXPORTER OF TEA and 3rd in production after China & India. Farmers were able to build this skyscrapper in 90s -from tea windfall. https://static.flickr.com/101/302707752_99fa540183_o.jpg We also host the WORLD BIGGEST TEA AUCTION in Mombasa and price of TEA worldwide is determined there.

You need a girl like this - from rural kenya - to calm your nerves. [img]https://jeengichuhi.files./2017/05/img-20170528-wa00571.jpg[/img] bantudra: |
Our tea - Africa most successfully - is on the back of smallholder black africans. It Africa success story. You see in most countries including Zim & South Africa - conventional knowledge is that plantation large farms by whites are only way to farm - Kenya has proven by it's agriculture that small holder farmers can kick arse. This is rural kenya - our economy is on the back of small holder farmers. Nigeria you have a long way to go. Majority of rural farmers have piped water & electricity. The problem we have is few people scattered in deserts of our norths - somalis, turkanas and such people. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DqR0Bb5WsAEk0xi.jpg Slaveryisgood: |
Kenya land - No British or white farmers - apart from very few Limuru https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DM6c2PqWkAIQ-Hk.jpg |
Long diatribe based on falsehood. British left kenya in 1963. We dealt with land issues in 1960s and by 1970s that chapter was closed.More than 1M acres of white highlands(British Settler farms) had been handed over to black Africans by 1970. We didn't delay it like South Africa or Zim. As we speak now - the number of white farmers owning land is very small..you can count them in one finger..and they are Kenyans. Slaveryisgood: |
He is very crazy. But Nigerians don't know better - their best left the country - leaving Ethiopia's Adis Ababa Alumni to churn laughable stats. Brain drain will kill Nigeria - that is why you've got Buhari & Yemi kale doing their thing. I mean Kenya is big in tourism..and yet it contribute I reckon 1-3% of our economy - not 34%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jonraid: |

Upper hill - Giving Sandton a ran for their money. Now the preffered destination for multinational companies interested in setting up regional office in Africa- with constant supply of Grade A offices. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CzOSMsKWIAAoXvv.jpg |
I am not sure about the methodology but it probably a lot of monitoring the forex coming by Central Bankers, surveys to hotels, look at their numbers at point of entry, game park fees and bit of extrapolation. What I am sure about is Tanzania always claiming to make double from the same tourist that we receive.Jonraid: |
British left Nigeria in 1960s - and they don't see to have added anything except slums. They left us in 1963 - and see what we have done with little we got. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DDonJFZXgAA4M3q.jpg |
Hahaha - British - left Kenya and Nigeria in early 1960s! That around the same time. They left us with tea & Coffee - they left you with gazillion cubic liters of OIL. Nairobi https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dme-uLnWwAAZlbV.jpg 68816419: |
Thanks for helping our slow-minded brother - a product of nigeria collapsed education systems. Jonraid: |
