Individual end up in hall of fame- not countries. if we were talking individuals - a random ghanian will probably make it

Just40:
Boxing is a professional sport ... Pls stop dragging it into amateurism

You have to dominate on the global stage to end up at the Hall of Fame.

So far, theres no international boxing champion from Kenya

I thought ivory coast was better than other west african backwater - but this look like drc congo

Ruto launches Hustler Fund - this SME loan of 500M dollars initially to be added annual - with lowest interest - 8% per annum or 0.002% daily. The loan will be disbursed through the phone. Already kenya mobile micro-loans are approaching 10 billion dollars.

Banks including Equity Bank - will add 2.5B dollars to Hustlers fund.


We have approx. 8 million Kenyans that can’t access credit because of their bad credit history. For every Kenyan locked out of the credit system, the government of Kenya is giving you a second chance. Those who will get a second chance, please do not abuse it.
Today we are replacing the collateral system that has been built around title deeds, logbooks, etc, we are building a collateral system based on credit scoring. They can access credit based on their credit scoring.

“Hustler fund will be 500 times cheaper than the average lender in the market.”

Well that is your opinion. Kenya rugby 7s is world class level. Our 15s need more work.

The Kenya national rugby sevens team competes in the World Rugby Sevens Series, Rugby World Cup Sevens and the Commonwealth Games. They are currently one of the 15 "core teams" of the World Series, with a guaranteed place in all 10 events each season.

jl115:
bru... You are not on our level.... Not in 7s or 15s....not even remotely close

Most footballers are mentally retarded. In fact majority cannot even read or write. Football is considered a sports for poor low IQ people. Rugby is middle class sports for mostly bright kids.

obaaderemi:
Football of all sports( if you count chess out) requires critical thinking the most. East Africans are not particularly bright as you can see from their representatives here. They will never play football well. I heard Ghana once beat Kenya 13 - 2 or so.

When Ghana is booted out the next game this irrational exuberance will be over.

vaxx:
there is nothing equalizing between fifa world cup and olympic. Olympic comprises many sport event while world cup is just about football , so where comes the equality, mr idiot. You actually love blind argument.

World cup is a single football event , the one month event is characterised with competition and excitement. I am not even going to talk about the economic impact .


Qatar just did what france , brasil and germany had once did before and when the aforementioned country did it , no alarm was raised . So we now know it is bribed scandal because it is coming from less known politically powerful country.

Slumdog, why didnt you not speak about it? Are you cherrypicking where South Africa is ahead and leaving the biggest competition outside world cup for 15s?

World cup for 15 and world cup for 7s is ultimate championsip - not the league or series.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Lol again you trying too hard to act smart. No one ever spoke about 7s world cup

We been speaking about world rugby 7s series

This crazy.
There is perhaps no training in world as hectic as althetics.
I am not awareof training booth where people go for 4 months without seeing their families or wifes.
Althetics training for marathon is toughest thing you can imagine.
Those guys run around Ghana every week - repeat that for four months - they can circle the earth.

Heck I dont think there is training schedule as punishing as althetic....i have seen it up close.

You wake up 4am - run until mid morning - sleep from total exhausation - wake up in afternoon - 4pm - run till 7am.

Then sleep - rinse and repeat for months.

It takes incredible discipline and mental strength.

vaxx:
stop the madness , you dense kid, Althletic training camp are only for a limited time . No one goes to Althletic academy because it is stupid to do so. Running required the least skills ever , even a dense idiot like you can pull a leg over another to move forward

That is what I thought. They do well in series because it you need lots of resources. In the world cup - we are fairing as good as they are.

Shma2022:
South africa has never won any world cup 7s.
Our team under coach ayimba was the best -- we used to beat New Zealand and fiji everytime. He died, Our senior players went on strike and that was over for our rugby. Nowadays we struggle, but the young players are slowly gaining momentum. We will come back stronger than we left. We will teach those white Boers how rugby is played.

We have same record when it comes to Rugby World Cup 7s.
You beat us in World Seven series - which is a league - and kenya struggle because it has to finance it's operation from smaller budget.

AfriqueDuZuid:
South Africa has won the world series +-4 times before Kenya is just another uganda


Kenya has never.... Kenya best finish was 3rd during covid while countries like nz, Australia, figi, France, England, etc were not competing

If you can't win while they not competing you can forget about winning a world series

After all you you can't differentiate a series win and a leg win, you hopeless

Which year did South Africa win the Rugby World Cup Sevens (RWCS). Never. Dont confuse with HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series

AfriqueDuZuid:
Lol always trying to act smart you not at all, I don't even watch soccer

Try arguing with a Ugandan or Somali on rugby maybe you might come out tops

Obaboon this how Saudi Arabia beat Argentina. They worked on their players mental blockade.

Lipstick on pig + erecting flyover over slumpolis. I lost count of the people I have heard describe driving in Ghana including Accra to be akin to dancing. Your roads are completely potholes. If you find a single - just one pothole in Kigali - come and let us know. I have driven 200kms from Kigali to Lake Kivu - not a single pothole.

What is paved in Rwanda is well done including drainage & pavings. It almost like Europe.

As for Ghana - you cannot even measure to kenya - Kenya is like 10 times better - in road quality - leave alone Rwanda

Heck from videos I have seen of Ghana - and Nigeria - I dont see any difference - both countries have completely broken-down road infrastructure. In kenya we last had such potholed roads in MOI regime

vaxx:
Then talk like well- feed child , are you part of the underfeed turkana adult suffri from the drought? my dear registered idiot , Ghana is acknowledge Internationally for having one of the best road network in the region .

Are you talking about rwanda which most roadways are not marked and with a high absence of streetlights ?

You mean the country that just constructed it's first and only flyover in 2022. better than Ghana? You must be mad. I have lost count of flyover in Accra .

Anyway Accra has the highest flyover in west africa, second longest interchange in africa , the longest is in south africa .

Of course I know Rwanda - been there severally. You should ask why I deliberate did that. Rwanda generally even remote towns have nailed basic like good paving/no potholes. Kigali is on another level.

You can drive in Rwanda and not hit a pothole. It surreal. Wherever there is tarmac - it tarmac - not potholed roads like Ghana - which form videos & youtubers reviews has one worst quality of roads.

vaxx:
What is kigali and rwanda, isn't kigali the capital city of rwanda, you are just a registered idiot. Gibberish full this your mouth .

Nairobi starting to nail paving. Still long way to get to Kigali and Rwanda but good progress the last few years

Tribal difference are not because kids have never mixed. That is most pedestrian view. People meet on the streets, fall in love and marry.
Heck even in most apartheid of south africa - it had the most prolific mixed marriages - people dont have issues with each other at personal level.
The main issues that divide countries are political exclusions - unfairness in gov jobs, development and opportunities
This is what breeds tribal divisions and cause civil wars.
We got a metldown in 2007 - very tame compared to many countries - but luckly realized we had to change.
We enacted a new constitution that is fairer to everyone...even Indians or Whites are now feeling Kenyan.
Kenya is addressing this through modern 2010 constitution that requires all gov appointment to reflect the face of kenya.
If Akan is 50% - their appointment should be 50% - split into women, disabled, name it - and subtribes. If they are 1% indians - they deserve 1 percent appointment. If they are 0.005 percent they deserve 0.005 percent of money/jobs.
Every county or region in kenya now receives their allocations of national budget.
Every Const in kenya also receive fair allocation for development.
Kenya is also addressing such issues this through strong institutions like judiciary and independent bodies.
The results - we have risen from bottom of fragile nations with Nigeria - to now No 30.
The schools teaches kids Kiswahili, English and national ethos. That is more than enough.
You can board them - all year long - and they are likely to become gay - than less tribal.
Because if you discriminate them in jobs, development and opportunities - they will become tribal afterall.

Good example - Kenya high court has stopped Ruto appointed PS - because some people feel it was not representative enough.

The High Court has stopped the ongoing vetting of permanent secretaries by Parliament, pending the determination of a case filed by the Law Society.

The LSK says in the petition that the list of 51 PSs presented to Parliament for vetting and approval for not depict the national representation including the youth, persons with disabilities, the marginalised and gender balance.

The LSK says in the petition the list as presented to Parliament does not take into account the regional and tribal balance, two-thirds gender rule principle, persons with disabilities and the youth.

And this also true for all gov tenders - certain percentages in kenya are reserved for women, person with disablities and youth.

All gov institution, SOES and agenices are regularly audited to ensure there is regional, ethnic, women, youth and disabled balanced as required by constitution

mdntiri:
So you guys NEED the boarding school system the most with your 'no dominant ' ethnic group, unlike Ghana where the Akans dominate with almost 50% peopling

Your kalenjins, kikuyus, luhyas etc don't command even up to 20% of the population.

All I hear everytime we argue is that black south africans get measured by African standards and the Boer by world class standards. That is Apartheid drilled into you.

jl115:
- its not relevant...you only use it when you are losing an argument.

- And yet Black South Africans still have a better secondary and tertiarily attainment rate than Kenya....nearly double in fact, hence your argument still holds no water.

- see above

I dont care about such provincial details of Ghana. The point is your tribal differences are mild compared to kenya and your boarding school contribution to national cohesion is exaggerated.

vankelvin:
We all know Akan Ethnic group constitutes the largest percentage of our population but what ignorant people like you don't know is the Akan Ethnic group consists of Twi and non-Twi speaking tribes

The Nzema's, Sefwi, Ahanta and the likes are Non-Twi speaking tribes so when they speak their languages the Twi speaking Akans can't comprehend. And even among the Twi speaking tribes the Fante's(which others consider as non-Twi), Bono and the Akuapim tribes speak totally different Twi.

Moreso all the other Ethnic groups together makes up over 55% so what's your point?

Akan is the largest ethnic group in Ghana, making up 47.3% of the population of Ghana (Ghana Statistical Service 2013:61). They comprise the Bono, Asante, Adanse, Twifo, Asen, Fante, Akuapem, Akyem, Akwamu, Kwahu, Sehwi, Awowin, Nzima and Ahanta (Buah 1998:.

What pray are you uniting in boarding schools?

vankelvin:
[b]
Typical of you, so stupid and confidently ignorant

Apartheid is a germane issue in South Africa - sports, education and everything. The racial disparity is the elephant in the room. How do you want us to discuss the squirrels?

In fact if you understood the reality of that racial disparity, it won't suprise you when I say kenya has better education than South Africa.

It because of that racial divide - where bantustan inferior education lingers on - next to world class white minority education.

jl115:
typical Kenyan argument....we went from debates around rugby and education, but when you get destroyed you bring race in to the equation

That is not true. The level of disparity btw provinces is still very high. Schools in Western Cape and such white/colored majority are doing great versus the rest . There is still lingering apertheid that you're too embarrassed to admit let alone address. Of course kenya has regional disparities too...but it mostly climate related...remote/arid lag behind. It's not racial..like South africa...that condemns majority blacks with poor quality education.

jl115:
nope if you compare SAs educational ranking with countries of similar development rates we are on par

Overall - Kenya is doing well considering it's level of development - and South Africa underperforms (outside Cape province & such) - a legacy of apertheid in education - that condemned African kids to low quality Bantustan education lingers on.

Kenyans use to fail to go to high school - because of poverty - but now that is changing.

jl115:
You don't have the highest tertiary attainment rate from the best universities in Africa if you don't have a quality education system....there isn't a debate, Kenya has a good education system, one of the best in Africa...but you are still way behind SA

Almost every Ghanian or Kenyan who has gone to both countries admit it no contest. We just have a mad cow here on the loose.

gallivant:


Ins't this exactly what we have been telling the dwarf men for years now?

Again lagging versus leading indicators; Kenya has started to push for 100% enrollment; that mean completion or attainment rate will go up; but of course it will take some years before we get to South Africa level - as many older kenyans would already been out of that net.

Again most important - we are now on QUANTITATIVE education measures...when we were talking quality /qualitative measures.

So in short South Africans stay (or stayed) in school longer but their quality of education is poor.

jl115:
we are talking about attainment rates of secondary and tertiary students

And SA has a 103% Secondary enrolment rate

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SE.SEC.ENRR?locations=ZA-KE

Maybe because kenya participate in world maths contest - not something Ghana can lead in.

Just40:


Now your argument has shifted ... How many schools were you expecting to represent Ghana?

Kenya hasn't ever qualify from Africa math and science competitions.... The best has always been Ghana, SA Egypt Tunisia and co.

Should I should you outcome from other schools doing exploit in science math engineering law economics and etc

Good - lagging indicator - kenya has fixed this - now we are leading in Africa.
They should update their figures.

Now we are doing 100% transition to secondary.

Kenya has adopted a policy that will ensure that all learners transit from primary to secondary levels of education until they attain 'basic education

jl115:
https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SE.TER.ENRR?locations=ZA-KE

That individual school - slowpoke - not representative of the rest of the country. PISA measures randomly basic reading/math skills of kids. And Ghana came last of last. Worse than South Africa.

Just40:
Does these look like international educational outcomes?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSV6bI7Qfsc

I'm yet to see a Kenyan school on this level

And it also a fact that you're mental insane

Just40:
it's a fact that Accra consume 1000mw of electricity

It's a fact that Accra has 9,000km of paved roads out of Ghana's 44,000km currently.

It is a fact that Accra has better hospitals than Kenya as a whole

It's a fact that Accra schools produce better outcomes than Kenya
Housing, Accra provides better options than Nairobi where 40% lives in mud or zinc housing

Where has Nairobi gotten to on this.

This also vindicate my view that you dont have critical thinking skills to know we are not talking about one or two random schools that excel. Those are everywhere. Heck my kids schools are somewhere in MIT doing those kind of competitions

We are talking national educational outcomes. I want you to pick random kid in the village and see if they can logically think or read or write.

This girl nails it

watch this and you'll see why Ghanaians are excelling globally in Mathematics Science and Engineering


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSV6bI7Qfsc

Easy put the data

jl115:
SA has higher tertiary and secondary attainment rates....also your education system must suck if you don't know what secondary or tertiary attainment is

Stop talking rubbish. Kenya quality of education is best in Africa.

Zain/Airtel had Africa university challenge - kenya won everything except one year when Ibandan sneaked in.

Rest of years it was kenya from quarters.

Ghana never made it to quarters.

Just40:
Ghana is not a part of Pisa ... What we did was compare class 2 children outcome with Pisa.


Why are Kenyan school outcomes not excelling like Ghana school outcomes globally?

Why are Kenyan outcomes not competitive at universities?

Those are the questions you should be asking yourself

Actually starts from 3:45 She nails Ghana like a jelly on the wall; and she has no idea about PISA or such
