Keep up. I still dont understand why Ghana and Ivory coast cannot jointly ban the export of cocoa beans. Kenya tea is processed - but sold in bulk. Now gov is planning to ban the bulk sales - and force the industry to re-brand.

Instead of these small cocoa factories producing mere 200k thousands - Cocoa board of Ghana - should be one going big into this.

President Ruto said farmers stand to earn more if they embrace value addition instead of exporting raw commodities.

"There is absolutely no reason why we are selling 95 per cent of our tea unprocessed in a space where we have a competitive advantage," he said during a consultative meeting with manufacturers in Nairobi.

"It is not going to be possible and practical for us to continue to export 95 per cent of our tea unprocessed."

Mercedes Benz Trucks assembled in Kenya


NAIROBI KENYA, Oct 27 – Motor dealer DT Dobie has unveiled a Sh16 million locally assembled Mercedes Benz truck as demand for heavy vehicles rises.

The introduction of Actros 3340 truck comes after the Government introduced a regulation restricting importation of second-hand trucks into the country.

Under the 2022 Finance Act, which came into effect in July 2022, locally assembled vehicles are exempted from taxes unlike imported ones.

Here is kenya girl - telling us inflation in Ghana.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsI_2xbiOw8


We admit what is happening in Ghana is not unique. But should it be the Ghanaian Cedi that is rated the worst performing currency in the world? Should it be our economy that is rated junk? The IMF Africa director iterated that Ghana's economic woes are predominantly self inflicted. Before then, I had stated that exogenous factors constituted a mere 25% to the crisis we find ourselves in. The handlers of the economy have totally mismanaged it. Recklessly spending the fiscus even amidst clear signs of imminent collapse. I live in South Africa. Inflation is at 7%. Interest rate is only 8%. In fact, South Africa was the worst hit country when the corona virus pandemic struck. Over 100,000 people died of the pandemic. More curiously, South Africa's membership in the BRICS community makes it even more vulnerable to the current Russian/Ukranean conflict as Russia is South Africa's strongest ally in terms of diplomacy and trade.

Outside Africa - being skinny is considered beautiful - while your fat arse is considered lazy bone coming to smooche their system. Nobody has the time to distinguish btw Ghana and Nigeria - they are same criminals.

Any Tanzania who has been to kenya will instantly tell you we are FAR ahead. Next time visit kenya.

Less progressive but have no tribalism,that tells u how Tanzania is more progressive than kenya at least on aspect of social life.When u go into developments,again Tanzania is ahead,you won't see us dying of hunger,that is part of being developed.
The only thing u beat us on is at faking things.FAKING GDP.But Ukraine war will shake off all these fake economies starting with srilanka,now the next one is in in west Africa,then you will follow

That is crazy. 11,000 foreigners? For one company. You really making India very rich.
I dont think you understand local content - is for ownership.
Employees - is something else. In kenya for a company to get 50 foreign work permit is something!

Kenya total work permits - for entire country are less than 35,000 I bet. Do you even have work permits - or it's free for all

The Immigration Department issued 7,332 new work permits to foreign nationals in 2021 from 5,851 issued in 2020, representing a 1,481 increase.This was the highest rise since 2017 when 2,515 new expat jobs were created to 8366 from the previous year.Work permits renewed increased marginally to 11,973 from 11,395 in 2020. Registration of foreign nationals increased by 29.8 percent to 24,713 in 2021.

GeneralDae:
You are preaching to the choir here. Nigeria has local content law which means you must employ a greater percentage of Nigerians over foreigners. Dangote himself said he has 28,000 Nigerians employed and 11,000 foreigners.

Zero sum game. Why would you allow Nigerians to go work outside when there jobs inside. You need to fix work permit issuance and enforce them. This used to be a problem in kenya - but now getting work permit - is very difficult - you need to justify that you looked for Kenyans - and didnt find the skills.

Does Nigeria lack the skills, so you ship a million indians? Is there evidence Dangote advertised for those jobs and found nobody qualified? or it just Indian manager advertise the jobs in Punjab - and bring his relatives to work in Nigeria?

As for ownership - Kenya-Indian is kenyan - but if Indian or nigerian company come to kenya - unless they get waiver - they must find local partner with 30% shareholding.

GeneralDae:
But Nigerians are also working in Europe or America for European or American firms repatriating their funds away from America.

You can work for us as long as you are competent, don't just own the business.

It matters a lot. Those indians repatriate their earning to India.
Kenya-India invest in Kenya - because this is their home - they wont even fit in India - they have lived here for 130yrs - speak swahili.
The main beneficiary of Dangote manufacturing is therefore 1) Dangote 2) Indian foreign workers earning top dollar 3) lastly Nigerian in low cadre jobs. The economy suffers as he sell things very expensively.

In kenya biggest player is Kenya gov - followed by investors of all shades.

I really doubt there is a lot of repatriation of profit out of Kenya - except by few Western companies - old ones - like Unilivers.

GeneralDae:
Okay it doesn't matter whether or not they bring Indians or foreigners to work, the Nigerians own these companies listed in Nigeria not Indians or the foreigners. Big difference.

Dangote Cement
BUA Cement
BUA Foods
Seplat
Zenith Bank

All amongst the top 8 businesses in Nigeria.

1) Dangote - Salt merchant get import bans - bring Indians to manufacture for him - when not stealing cement plant from Kogi state
2) MTN - South African company.

Kenya biggest company is
1)Safaricom own by Kenya gov/public/vodafone.
2) EABL - owned by Kenyans & Diageo
3) Equity Bank - owned by Kenya & others.
4) KCB - owned by Keny gov/kenyans.

Etc etc - In kenya biggest player is mostly kenya gov - which owns everything everywhere including Hilton Hotel - name it. Unlike Nigeria who privatized companies and gave them to Dangotes completely - kenya SOES - those privatized - kenya gov always retain shareholding. Rarely was companies sold 100% - so kenya gov is in almost every business you can imagine.

Indians in kenya - are in manufacturing. This is because they were banned from retail trade - or dukawallas - in 1967.

I think in almost top 200 companies in kenya is in plant - from sugar plant, cements, hotels, banks, telcom, name it - kenya gov is all over.

GeneralDae:
Nah it just means the worth of their businesses in Nigeria are not bigger than the top Nigerian businesses. These are amongst the top six firms in Nigeria:

Dangote Cement (soon Dangote refinery would top this)
MTN Nigeria
BUA Cement
BUA Foods

Seplat should also be amongst the top five if I'm not mistaken.

No Indian firm in Nigeria comes close to this.

Why would an Indian be in list of richest of Nigeria. They take their wealth to India and feature in India list. The same with Lebanese. We are talkin about kenyans - on 5th generation - of Indian descent - versus Indian in Nigeria. Big difference.

68816419:
Although there are over 300,000 Indians in Nigeria and they are all doing well as laborers, we really don't have problems with genuine Indians who don't think they are better than black people. Instead, our problems are with Indians' tendency to be racist and the fact that we Nigerians can accomplish more than they can. and Even though they arrived in Nigeria before it became independent, Lebanese and Indians have never been on the list of the richest 1000 Nigerians and they never will. You must also be aware that only 5% of Indians who live in Nigeria own their homes.

Of course it could work in small countries but remember Somali is one tribe/language/religion - and they still fight. So this has to go in tandem with other things. Tanzania has less tribalism than Kenya but is less progressive or developed than Kenya. Basically you need to fix all the aspect - social, political, economic

Kazikazi:
I salute Kagame on the issue of tribes.what is even impressing me more is,þhis kagame copied Tanzania on how to crash tribalism.But Tanzania didn't go as far as to outlaw it completely. In Tanzania, they still ask u to tell your tribe when applying for ID,passports, etc.But Rwanda have actually done much more,I hope it bear better results so other shitholes who are still having these tribal clashes may learn if they have an inch of a brain.It's stupid in today's world for someone hating another based on tribal lines.You even get some fools voting for another bigger fool just because a bigger fool is ftom their tribe

Ohoo please Get grip of yourself.

lol.. all we care about is "being black"
You had best get used to seeing Dangote because nobody can stop him from invading Kenya soon . This guy is 100m times smarter than you, and you have to understand that there are hundreds of Dangote in many fields. The proprietors of companies like Arik and Airpeace are in the aviation industry. In IT, there are the Helios, Flutterwave, Moove, Paystack, and PiggyVest men. We have farms like OBASANJO FARM, MAIZUBE FARMS, SEBORE FARMS, and ANADARIYA FARMS in agriculture. Even in manufacturing, Dangote is facing competition from companies like BUA,Innocent Chukwuma(innoson motors), We have people like Michael Adeniyi Adenuga in the telecom industry, Tony Onyemaechi Elumelu in finance, and Femi Otedola and Folorunso Alakija in the oil and gas industry.
we are proudly black, and nothing can change that. In all these disciplines, you may see fellow Africans at the top, but no single Indian or white.

Lekki Port- Deepest Sea port in Africa is ready for lunch :
6 million TEUs of containers and a significant volume of liquid and dry bulk uncontainerized cargoes. The port is to be equipped with ships able to transport over 14,500 containers.

The port is being developed in phases. Its phase one, be operational in 2018, chiefly comprises it three container berths equipped to handle more than 1.8 million TEUs — one berth for dry bulk goods and two berths for liquid cargo.

The port is financed by private investors and a consortium of banks who have funded the project with $1.5 billion as of March 2021. The seaport is to occupy up to 90 hectares of land. It is expected to be completed in 2023 and operations to commence in the first half.

Why does it matter who is the richest; does Dangote being black as soot allow you to fly his personal jet; what matters is how these people made money. The richest kenyans are black - Kenyattas and Mois - no indian can come close to them - because they transferred state wealth to personal wealth - just like Sani Abacha did in Nigeria. Kenyattas real estate in Nairobi alone - about 15,000 acres - is worth trillions of Kshs - an acre is at worse a million dollar - they are therefore worth 15b dollars in real estate in nairobi alone. You go to Kiambu, Nakuru, name it - 0.5M acres - that is min 30B dollars in real estate - 3 times Dangote in land alone. The real wealth in world is not ranked - because it mostly very dirty money - forbes and rest rank "clean" money.

Is Dangote making clean money - far from it - he is a Sani Abacha of the private sector - Sani Abacha stole oil - Dangote get Indians to manufacture for him - after he get sweat deals in Abuja. Who is making Dangote rich - every Nigerian being forced to buy something 2-3 times if it was imported so he can provide jobs - majority of whom are done by Indians of INDIA.

If a black king enslave you - will it be sweater than if an indian or chinese or white dude did it?

Africans have to differentiate a good indian from a bad one; good white due from a bad one; good chinese from a bad one; a good african from a bad one.

The good one is guy who is giving you a fair deal; it could be chinese or indian or white or black.

The bad one is guy giving you a bad deal at best or stealing from you;

Color or nationality is irrelevant. If Elon Musk want to come and become a Kenyan - he is welcome.

QueenNyakim:
Yet all the richest Nigerians are black. In Kenya half of them are black and the other half are Indian or Lebanese.

You won't see a single chink, kebab, curry muncher in the top 50 in Nigeria~

Of course. It's imperative for tribes to collapse into nations - otherwise you'll find countries in africa - dominating the most fragile nations - because they are few crisis from civil war - like is happening in Ethiopia, Nigeria (Boko haram & Igbo) and others. Kenya has been dogged by ethnicity - but at least we are making progress towards building a nation - from tribes - with help of new constitution - I am confident kenya has made huge turn towards building a strong nation - based on fairness, justice and eventually issue-based politics.

Europe/China started their nation building in 10th or early centuries - and they slowly killed their tribes/languages - into the few we have now - Italian, French, German, English, etc.

Africa has what 2,000 tribes...they need to collapse into at least 50 tribes/nation. Europe or Asia before had that many tribes - but they were killed over the time.

Let see how Rwanda will go - they have outlawed tribes. Might be a lesson for others in Africa esp small countries to just outlaw tribes and have everyone become their nationhood.

Kazikazi:

obaaderemi:
A Kenyan doesn't have that. He has to wear bangles to be identified.

They wear out sheer pride of their nation ..part of a long process of building national identity... nationhood and nation building is a topic beyond your comprehension. Few African leaders did as much as Julius Nyerere to create nations out of the colonial created artificial states randomly diced by Europeans in Berlin conference of 1885.Tanzanian is more likely to be proud of his nationality than his ethnic background. Kagame in Rwanda is outlawing tribes..let see if that will work creating a Rwanda national identity.As for Nigerian..they first swear by their tribes long before they even care about Nigeria..they they swear n kill for their religion.. maybe when playing football..rest of time they don't like Nigeria
