This better than trying to teach kids who can barely comprehend basic maths and english how to code.Software engeneering is highly speciliazed skill

Nowenuse:
Hahaha, thank you for exposing rvp2018. Kenyans are such pathetic shameless liars.
Imagine them still learning how to reply emails in 2018 and bragging about it

Educate yourself first.Kenya has developed as SSA biggest non mineral economy thanks to its unique service sectors that are far advanced than their peer economies.Let me know if you need that broken down.You cannot compare prices of services in kenya with nigerian or tz or eth on price alone...its likely our services are world class.This is mostly thanks to our strong private sector and highly skilled proffesionals..so stop thinking the hair cut youll get in Nairobi is comparable to lousy one in Lagos.The internet or housing or hotel or transport service youll get here are not comparable to Tz or Nigeria.Your dafno is not comparabe to our nganyas matatu with wifi & personalized video screen.We export a lot of services regionally.Our hotel workers are globally reknown n well sought after.We are top 40 logistical efficient economy.We beat US $ likes in internet speed.The quality of goods and services count.No lazy TZ can survive in Kenya service sector.Multinationals are tripping themselves to set up in Nairobi because even quality of house help baby sitting or housekeeping is not comparable to peer economy.

Nowenuse:
Kenya is still a freaking 3rd world country!
And as a thrid world country there is no freaking reason why it should be so expensive compared to countries like Nigeria & Tanzania which it still ranks very closely with.

Ok let me help your dumbness!
Take a look at Malaysia & Indonesia below!
Both countries rank far better than Kenya in every index, yet I want you to compare their relative nominal GDPs and ppp GDPs. You can see that their ppp GDPs and per capitals are thrice as much as their nominal GDPs and per capitals just like Nigeria and Tanzania.

So, according to the theories propounded by you little Indians, can we now say that Kenya has better quality services than Malaysia?

I hope everyone can now conclude with me including yourselves, that you guys are big time clowns?
Like I said earlier, go back to your alma mata and ask for a refund of your school fees!

Some countries are just cheaper than others cos of the policies and way of life in those countries and not because of quality services!
Even among the equally advanced countries, some are still more expensive than the others.

It was nice educating you sub-Indians.

You skipped this....Nigeria is now at 2007-2010 - when Kenya is already a matured ICT Hub - our broandband speeds beat US & even Isreal - and we are building techno city.While you're busy at first stage - of building hubs....we are building an entire city for technology companies - and clearly Kenya's Silicon Savannah will be answer to Silicon Valley of San Francisco. Not Nigeria's Yaba valley

The rise of Silicon Savannah...

Most discussions of the origins of Africa’s tech movement circle back to Kenya, which laid down four markers between 2007 and 2010 to inspire the country’s Silicon Savannah moniker: mobile money, a globally recognized crowdsourcing app, Africa’s tech incubator model, and a genuine government commitment to ICT policy.

[quote author=Daejoyoung po
st=68770148]Increasingly, Nigeria is becoming a centre for big tech investment and commercially oriented start-ups. Whatever the country’s challenges, investors and entrepreneurs are attracted by the prospect of scaling applications to Africa’s largest population and economy. Many have set up shop in Lagos’s Yaba district. There you can find the headquarters for e-commerce start-up Africa Internet Group and digital payments venture Paga, located near incubators Andela and Co-Creation Hub.

Nigeria’s tech sector is becoming representative of repatriate entrepreneurs reversing some of Africa’s brain drain and IT reshaping the continent’s global linkages. All three of Africa’s most recognized e-commerce startups – Jumia, Konga and MallforAfrica – were founded by Nigerians who earned their university degrees and initial private sector experience in the US. A noteworthy portion of the roughly $600 million in VC to these entities comes from American and European investment firms. And the management of Jumia’s parent, Africa Internet Group, is a mix of repatriate Africans and MBA types from the US and Europe attracted to the continent’s IT opportunities over development work.

From Nigeria to Kenya, and Rwanda to Ghana, tech innovation is starting to influence multiple sectors: energy, agriculture, banking, healthcare, entertainment, transport and fashion.

Having researched the topic for the past six years, I believe technology in Africa has the potential to create more impact faster than anywhere previously in the world. There’ll be a lot to unpack on that prediction. To start, here are some trends to watch in the continent’s wired future.

Go slow on cheap insults and I may be able to get what you mean.I suspect this is beyond your paygrade hence the insults.... The de-facto comparison for countries is nominal GDP (in USD). GDP (PPP) is only good for estimating the size of economy internally --- otherwise you'd have to assume the international basket of goods & services prices also reflect the quality but if you wanted to internally find if Nigerians were becoming poorer or richer...GDP(PPP) is more accurate than nominal GDP. But to compare your GDP with Kenya - Nominal GDP (USD) is what matters.

theenchanter:
what a fucktarrrd!!!!! It's not about u believing or not, u're unknown in d economics society. So u can shove ur 'belief' down ur arse.

U see why u're a dunce? Where on earth is PPP usefull internally to track poverty and whatever ur brain remits


https://www.investopedia.com/updates/purchasing-power-parity-ppp/

U Kenyans are jokes.

Actually checked the so called CodeLagos - this open competition for kids above 16yrs & above - basically university level. So far trained about 15k Lagosians out-of-school and they are hoping to roll out in schools this Dec 2018.

I am not sure what end goal is - of training everyone basic coding skills

Something similar to kenya's Ajira - training kenyans for online work - including coding.

So far Kenya Digital Ajira has trained 40,000 plus kenyans...with a target of 1M kenyan working online in 2022.

First before we get to distinction - does yours exists? How many kids are learning to code as we speak.

theenchanter:
As I said earlier, ours n urs aren't d same.... Urs deals with digital literacy n ours deal with coding.

Kikuyu1 - I believe PPP cannot be use to compare countries against each other - because quality of a hair cut in Nairobi is not the same as in Lagos - for example a country like kenya that has very good service industry cannot compare to laggard like TZ- If you see the quality of good manufactured internally in Uganda - you simply cannot compare to kenya.

PPP is only useful internally for stuff like tracking poverty & internal/domestic indicators etc - therefore for this thread - anyone quoting PPP figures need to study econ 101 again.

kikuyu2:
Mwenzangu,I've just seen somethings missing. We've established beyond doubt the Dangoteland GDP nominal,which is very easy to calculate. There are 2 broadly accurate figures of 1300-1400,or as their own Housing minister said,some 1130$ to our 1800$. What about GPD PPP per capita which some say is the more accurate measure ?
Everyone else Purchasing Power Parity attempts to account for local conditions.


https://applebutterdreams./the-difference-between-gdp-nominal-and-gdp-ppp/

On paper ours is 3500$ while Dangoteland's is I strongly suspect as hilariously inflated as everything else at 5900$.

Care to give it a go?

We also play soccer/football - and other sports - and we compete at international level in more sports. Our football is getting better - we now have couple of players playing proffesionally in Europe. We've sorted financing internally - Sport-Pesa & sport betting are now global players - so for first time we have domestic league where players are fully proffesional.

In perhaps the only sport you "excel" in you're ranked 48 in latest fifa (average 38) and kenya is ranked 112(average 101) - so basically you're as crap as we are here. You're only in world cup because Africa need to get 5 teams there.

Again let's talk football after your game with Argentina. You have won only 1 game against a country of 0.3M people.

obaaderemi:
U.S and China play football and put a lot of money into it. Some big names play in the chinese league. China will be a force in football in ten years the way they are going.Both countries have been to the FIFA world cup. Please don't lump them up with your sorry Little India that can never qualify for neither football world cup nor rugby world cup. It's an unforgivable insult.

This thread let me remind you again is all about comparison btw NIGERIA & KENAY. Therefore I'll discuss or most likely rip apart anything you say with that in mind. I just hope to be objective. If you want to discuss the "plan" of training 1M nigerian to code...open another thread.

Now Oga - this code school thing - as of now - how many kids have they actually taught to learn to code. You see Nigeria and big expensive dreams are well know.

Our digital literacy program exists - we had to build infrastructure for it - electrify all public schools - include those in remote dry north - then we supplied all schools with tablets - with projectors & laptops for teachers - this is for all primary kids - starting from class 1. We have done the same thing - labs - for high schools. And now we are rolling out fiber.

theenchanter:
oga, is everything competition to u? did I talked about Kenya in my post? Since u reek of inferiority complex, I'll show u d difference between ours n yours.

Ur digital literacy was initiated in 2013, its aim is to let Kenyan students learn d use of digital platforms like computer, smartphones, tablets and others, it's like learning with digital gadgets.

Ours is much different from urs because ours is inculcating coding, programming, artificial intelligence and others into d students.

Let get latest cement consumption n production and end the debate

obaaderemi:
If cement production in Nigeria is 30m Metric T, how then can we consume just 18mMT if we are importing like you said earlier? Kenya on the other hand has seen massive decline in its cement consumption. You are now lower than 6m metric tonnes. 6 against 30 for Nigeria. Which one will you see as the dwarf?Of course, it's Kenya.

Kenya has rolled out digital literacy in all schools from primary 1.We are in process rolling out fiber to all schools

theenchanter:
I just love the codelagos program by Lagos state government, it is geared towards training 1m primary n secondary school students by 2030 on coding, it'll turn out big since young, I mean very young guys are undergoing d training.

4 Nigerian states have adopted the strategy too, Edo launched it's innovation hub last two weeks in partnership with Microsoft n Siemens. Infact, Siemens signed another partnership with d innovation hub tagged hack Edo series . Nigeria should rank higher in tech in some years to come.

US $ China $ Kenya dont play Football that good but are still great sporting nations

obaaderemi:
Football is the king of sports. If you are not there you are nowhere. I know it hurts you your country can not play football. That's your tough luck.

What makes Nairobi Africa's 'most intelligent' city

CNN) — For a second year in a row, Kenya's busy capital city of Nairobi has been named the most intelligent city in Africa -- failing, however, to make it to the world's top seven finalists.
According to the Intelligent Community Forum, "intelligent communities" are those that have taken "conscious steps" to create an economy that can prosper in the "broadband economy." The group has recently released its latest rankings, recognizing the achievements of communities that have built inclusive, prosperous economies on a basis of information and communication technologies.


Nairobi was the only African city to appear on their shortlist of 21 hubs throughout the world for 2015.
Intelligent Community Forum co-founder Robert Bell says: "We see a strong foundation being put into place [in Nairobi]: sensible, pro-growth government policy, a more diversified economy, and an innovation ecosystem of startups, international companies and universities.
"Nairobi certainly has the opportunity to build an exciting future for its citizens, businesses and institutions."
The Kenyan capital, however, didn't make it to the next round that will see seven communities around the world contesting in June for the 2015 Intelligent Community of the Year award -- in alphabetical order, the 2015 Top7 Intelligent Communities were Arlington County (U.S.), Columbus, (U.S.), Ipswich (Australia), Mitchell (U.S.), New Taipei City (Taiwan), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and Surrey (Canada).

China can afford to be dictatorship because it an homegenous country with hans chinese making 95% of the population. Ethiopia like Nigeria is hobbled by tribal competition btw Oromos, Tigrayans, Amharas and Somalis. I don't see it staying intact for a long time. The same way Nigeria will have to find a solution to it's Biafra problem...Ethiopia have to deal with all squabbling tribes. As regard the economy...yes they may industralize..but they need to do it fast..their fundamentals are "screwed" right now..they are basically bankrupt.

nwoke37:
You don't have to be democratic to succeed... Look at China... I predict Ethiopia will be the next China... Ethiopia will grow and overpass Kenya's economy rapidly and may become more industrialized

I see you long lost any semblance of sobriety. Kenya is one of the greatest sporting nations of the world - not Africa. Our indians do well representing us in Cricket - all the way to world level.

According to this website - that ranks great sporting nations across all discipline - Kenya is at position 19 globally (RANKED NO 1 in AFRICA) - and Nigeria at position 90(13 in Africa)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

obaaderemi:
It's jealousy. Rvp is mad little Indians can't do well in any competitive sport.

Both TZ & Ethiopia - despite being nearly twice kenya in size and pop - cannot catch Kenya anytime soon - both are hobbled by marxist/communist tendencies like Nigeria is - TZ nominal GDP (USD) is nearly half that of Kenya - Ethiopia had "reach" kenya - before they devauled by 15% - the real market rate of birr to usd is still higher by 35% (so their GDP will further shrink by 35%).

TZ & Ethiopia - are more like rapidly improving Nigerians. Their fundamentals are just weak. I don't see them ever catching up with Kenya - an open,democratic,liberalized, progressive,modern & well-diversified economy.

Nowenuse:
Kenyans cannot even dominate East Africa successfully let alone Subsaharan Africa.
Ethiopian economy is as large as your economy. The most expensive project in East Africa is currently in Ethiopia.
Tanzanians dominate the entertainment industry of East Africa.
Tanzanians are also as rich as Kenyans in terms of gdp income per capital (ppp).

Rugby is football. And unlike Kenya - you do not dominate anything globally. You can win only in Africa.

Yungkid101:
And you wanna compare RUBGY to Football LMAO

I am not sure what you're asking for - maybe you need some bullet points? Nairobi is 3rd in my view after Joburg and Mauritus as financial center of Africa. We are already in the process of making it a formal financial center -- ala london, newyork, hongkong, qatar - with help of Qatar & Chinese - we are hoping to have yuan clearing house in Nairobi. Nairobi has nearly all major banks of the world with office or rep office here. It already the major HQs for many top companies of the world. We have sub-sahara second most sophisticated securities market in Nairobi. We have some of world leading global commodities exchange - mombasa tea exchange for example is world leading black tea commodity market - WB.

nwoke37:
Again as I said back up your statement concerning Nairobi being a financial center outside SA... stats, data??
Yes, Nairobi is known for attracting multinationals.. i don't doubt that

We have very good RUBGY FOOTBALL team that actually win stuff at global stage. Yeah that is football team. Of course we excel in far many other sports than Nigeria - and we do it in GLOBAL stage. We have our own music industry that good enough for us. Again why is it a problem to be very black? or very bald headed? Nigeria last I checked was BLACK nation.

Yungkid101:
I don't even know if Kenya has Music Industry or a Football team. They ain't really relevant in Africa. They hardly talk about them in Africa. The only thing i know about them is dat they're all Bald Headed and very Black like those guys from Ghana and Senegal.

Apart from his English - SufferNSmilling is a rare Nigerian. You guys need more of him. Honest people who can tell you the kind of mess your country is. As for him being Kenyan - that is rich No sane kenyan will want to be associated with Nigeria.

jaycent:
Do you know that you are the most useless and foolish person on this thread...you're busy promoting your stupidy and your foolishness.. Are you sick in the head or what. You're here displayin your foolishness and nobody seems to take you seriouse...we know you're not a Nigerian and you keep hyping your foolishness are you mad or what. Sometimes this kenyans are just useless and stupid...you guys are just whack for my liking..useless people!

You won against Iceland - 200M country against Iceland with 0.3M people. You do not even feel ashamed? wait until Nigiria win against Argentina and advance to group stage before bragging here. KQ is ready to bring your team back home.

Nowenuse:
Hahaha, nor be small thing o. TayserMahiri dissapeared ikewise his girlfriend NairobiWalker.

I hope they do not commit suicide especially now that their Arab colonizers too like Saudi arabia, Egypt and other North african countries lost all their matches and are going home.
I hope these arabs do not vent their anger on Kenyans and collect their swahili language back .
You know that the Arab-originated swahili language is the only cultural pride of Kenyans

God bless West Africa. Nigerians and Senegalese are still in the game fully! We keep on making Africa proud.

How can Adis do that when they worse than Nigeria in banking and finance. They do not allow private banks. They have even stricter control of forexs. They do not even have stock exchange - while Nairobi securities is already ahead of curve with many companies cross-listing here - complete with liquid debt market - nearly all major banks of the world have representative office or branch here - you can buy dollars or euros or any currency anywhere - chinese yuan have clearing house in Nairobi - KSHS is very stable --and you can move money in & out without any hassle - I can go on and on. Nairobi is already HQ of many companies with operation in Africa - so they will be sending money to Nairobi for onward transmission. UN alone has nearly 500-1B dollars worth of transaction annually. Globally we are now known for innovative mobile banking - m-pesa - and

Our competition is South Africa and Mauritus. Not Lagos. Leave alone poor Adis.

nwoke37:
I never even said Nigeria(Lagos) was the financial center of Africa after JO'burg... Back up ur statement about Nairobi cuz i sincerely doubt it... Once Ethiopia opens up, It'll dash Nairobi's position of being the financial hub of eastern Africa

I am talking latest figures...2016 it was around 20M..last year ...18m..and dropping.

nwoke37:
You just proved Nigeria is self-sufficient in cement production... Nigeria produces wayyy more than 18m tonnes of cement...
And just for reference what is the cement consumption per capita in USA

It actually is. First you guys need to remove forex controls before anybody serious can bring their money there to Lagos. Nairobi is the financial center of Sub-Sahara Africa outside South Africa.

As you speak I think we have passed a law that makes Nairobi an INTERNATIONAL financial center - We established Nariobi International finance trade center- so this is not IDLE talk.

http://www.fsdafrica.org/newsite/project/nifca-onshore-financial-services/

The Nairobi International Finance Center - will be officially established in upper-hill after we pass laws to make it a tax haven - but right now Nairobi is already the financial center of SSA outside Joburg & Mauritus.

nwoke37:
When you said Nairobi is the financial center of Sub Saharan Africa after Jo'burg.. i knew u were joking... Maybe Nairobi is the financial center of Eastern Africa but not Sub Saharan Africa..

Just share you figures. You consume around 18M tonnes per year for nearly 4 times our population(198M). We consume around 6M with 48M folks. Basic maths - you need to consume around 24M metric tonnes to catch kenya per capita

As for Lagos - it's pretty much irrelevant -coz you sit in francophone region - so Ibandan most likely has more kick than Lagos.

Nairobi is definitely the HQ of many multinationals in Africa, regional HQs of many embassies, the only UN HQ in developing world, the financial center of SSA outside South Africa, the regional Airport hub (with Joburg & Adis Ababa), etc.

That thread at SkyeScraperCity that rans 42 pages - has list of companies that have chosen Nairobi to be their regional if global HQ (like Oxfam recently did - moving their international HQ to Nairobi from London).

obaaderemi:
Even your dog Kikuyu agrees Nigeria beat little India in cement consumption per capita not to talk of absolute numbers. Facts are stubborn. . Lagos is far more relevant than your nairobbery.

8B dollars importing refined Oil - is reason why Nigeria to me will remain forever hopeless. If you cannot refine oil that god has given you - then country is cursed. Cursed with pathetic leadership.

sufferNsmiling:
See how much nigeria spent on importation and why the country cannot move forward we spend more than 60% offer oil money on importation legally. These charts does not include good smuggled like food stuff, cars and machines. So if you spent more money on importation them you generate.


Nigeria’s Top 10 Imports
Top 10
The following product groups represent the highest dollar value in Nigeria’s import purchases during 2017. Also shown is the percentage share each product category represents in terms of overall imports into Nigeria.

At the more granular four-digit Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) code level, Nigeria’s most valuable imported goods are refined petroleum oils, wheat and motor cars.

Mineral fuels including oil: US$8.2 billion (28.2% of total imports)
Machinery including computers: $3.9 billion (13.5%)
Electrical machinery, equipment: $1.7 billion (6%)
Vehicles: $1.5 billion (5.1%)
Cereals: $1.4 billion (5%)
Plastics, plastic articles: $1.3 billion (4.6%)
Salt, sulphur, stone, cement: $720 million (2.5%)
Fish: $691.8 million (2.4%)
Articles of iron or steel: $679.1 million (2.3%)
Other chemical goods: $646 million (2.2%)

Imported salt, sulphur, stone and cement had the fastest-growing increase in value among the top 10 import categories, up by 302.1% from 2016 to 2017.

In second place for improving import purchases were miscellaneous chemical goods (up by 19.7%). Nigeria’s imports of cereals also showed modest year-over-year improvement (up by 14%) led by higher purchases of wheat and corn.

Machinery including computers were the laggard category among the top 10 Nigerian imports, posting a -36.5% decline.

Please note that the results listed above are at the 2-digit Harmonized Tariff System code level. Information presented under other virtual folder tabs is at the more granular 4-digit level.

Officially Nigeria (Dangote) claims to export cement. And here they are importing cement.

sufferNsmiling:
Do you know nigeria import cement And your richest african is doing nothing we import marine cement quick dry cement and some other types of cement

Lies and insults are not substitute of facts and sound argument. We have higher cement consumption per capita (around >150 kilos) than Nigeria somewhere around (130). Kenya is also not a small irrelevant country - whatever that means - but are certainly the biggest dog in regionally - with Nairobi the most important city outside JoBurg in Sub-Saharan Africa.

obaaderemi:
This thread has exposed Little India beyond repair. Every problem Nigeria and other African countries suffer from is there in Kenya. Even if 70% of Nigeria is in poverty (which is not the case) the remaining 30% is still 60m which is far far far ahead of Kenya's total population. That's a huge market and a lot of leverage.What I find surprising is how a big country like Nigeria can beat a small country like Little India in cement consumption per capita. It's like comparing Chile and Brazil. No matter how you look at it, Nigeria will always be Africa's most relevant country. I guess that's the source of bitterness coming from the Little Indian pigs here. The pain of coming from a small poor and irrelevant country.

The answer is obviously NAY - this plant was designed and built in 70s & 80s - and we are in 2020 - that nearly 50yrs - that is just a rust belt - I bet Nigeria can go to US and buy themselves something that is not as rusted as Ajaukota stillborn steal plant.

kikuyu1:
I'm not happy with waste and I've explained why I doubt Ajaokuta will get off the ground! I'm not an expert as I admitted but its moribund and in Dangoteland which is enough for me. I know how the world works,son! Ofc,Oyinbos don't want you getting started-even China,Brazil and India would be against a potential competitor.
Which is why I still say in this day and era too many vested interests are against such a project. Rvp2018,come and give us the receipts on this project. Yea or nay?

It probably was...but whatever the case..Ndakaini..saisuma...are not enough to supply water to Nairobi & it's metro. We really need huge investment there. There has been dearth of investment and lack of outrage as people got used to dry taps. It shouldn't be that way. Dry taps should be so rare it ought to make news. That is one sector where we have let ourselves down. We should not get so used to living like Nigerians...where everything has been dysfunctional for some many years - it became new normal.

TayserMahiri:
True. Was it really water levels?

Nairobi water supply has become more like Nigeria electricity supply. Pple are so used to water rationing - dry taps are normal.Just like poor Nigerian with their generators...nearly all Nairobeans have some storage tanks to store water to deal with shortage. This need to really change. We need to invest in 3-5 Ndakainis just to meet the current demand in Nairobi alone.

TayserMahiri:
Ndakaini Dam, Kenya

I have data showing Kenya is second leading source of remittance to Uganda after US. I don't need data for Somalia. I am also aware of many Nigerian now eking their lives in Kenya and of course remitting to Nigeria.

nograv:
After rvp2018's recent post stating "I am pretty sure we are now one source of REMITTANCE" no citation or data just an anecdotal feeling..

I have come to realisation we are dealing with a clown...
