Two Nigerian housemaids killed by their bosses in Saudi Arabiahttps://www.lindaikejisblog.com › two-nigerian-housem...
Aug 26, 2018 — Two Nigerian women have reportedly been killed by their employers in Saudi Arabia. The women were trafficked to Saudi Arabia to work as ...
.....
Shoddy oversight and poor regulation and implementation of extant laws by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment are aiding trafficking of women to Saudi Arabia in the name of searching for greener pastures.

Recently, through the intervention of the Nigerian Embassy in Saudi Arabia, 1,000 housemaids were deported to Nigeria.

These housemaids are airlifted to Saudi Arabia by private employment agencies licensed by the Federal Ministry of Labour.

Information obtained from the ministry through the Freedom of Information Law indicated that two agencies were fully accredited to recruit Nigerians as domestic staff in Saudi Arabia. It, however, said a total of 22 of such agencies were licensed.

Kenya has a deal with middle East countries to send maids there. It's called Kafala.

How would such a ban be effected by gov? I dont think it's all gloom and doom; what gov need are to open offices in middle east to assist their citizens in distress including rescue centers;

Saudi has climbed to be Kenya 3rd source of forex. We cannot condemn it all - the problem is with live in maids - but drivers, operators and others have no problem.

QuietMynd:
Africans don't have leaders, when will they ban this nonsense of going to the middle east to do house keeping job, the same job they won't do here. Since these Arabs re animals wearing white Jalab, they will be claiming Muslim but they re more ruthless and barbaric than the devil.
It seems these animalistic behavior is a cultural hereditary thing, this can't be a coincidence, it is happening too often.
They re still in the old age but always want to show they re a developed people by building shining glass city, little did they know development is a things of the mind you can build the most advanced city in the world but if your mentality is still stuck in the 9th century, the development is just a facade.
Everyone has a blame, from the useless leader to the greedy citizens that won't mind going to a dangerous unknown place because of little pay raise despite seeing some people suffer for the same adventure.

What is total enrollment to vocational colleges in Tanzania. This is critical if you want to industrialize.

Shma2022:
I hate tribal rhetoric. Kalenjins are capable humans. any component Kenyan can rule this country. Let's not stoop this law in the miasma of pettiness. Luo men should relax. You guys have produced a very competent USA president. No need for this sh*t.

So far, I've only seen 2 nonsense by this government: GMO revival plans, and forest encroachment. The rest are positive and I can't complain.

Sakaja identifies himself as a LUHYA. Sakaja can speak luhya more eloquently than he can speak sabaot. Sakaja stood his ground and claim he is a Luhya. Maybe you should start thinking about why he doesn't want to identify himself as a kalenjin.

Nothing wrong with shamba system and biotech like gmo is long overdue.We need to allow experts in forestry and biotech to guide us..not listen to everyone.I knew Sakaja father long before his son went to politics..he is Sabaot and Sakaja grandfather was mt Elgon mp.Obviously to win Nairobi he has identify by his mother tribe.If he perform in Nairobi he has chance to become president against likes of Gachagua and Nyoro.Ruto definitely going to outperform any president in Kenya history... because he is extremely driven to achieve sucess

MzeeMwenyewe1:
By 2027 all Kenyans will agree that kalenjins cannot run a cattle dip let alone a country

2032 another kalenjin sakaja takes over

We dont eat cane rats.

vankelvin:
If Ghana wants to export to Kenya we will export food because you guys need it

What do you call COCOA

vankelvin:
You call this food? madness dey knock on your door

You always blame Kenya for your own mess. Kenya media, kenya opposition, etc. It's always Kenya fault that you cannot do anything

Kazikazi:
Ugandans are angry with these Kenyans. Remember these Kenyans have been campaigning in European countries to halt the construction of oil pipeline from Uganda to Tz.Uganda have been pissed off.What Uganda wants is for kenya to stop siding with the opposition parties who are caimpaigning against that oil pipeline which these opposition parties believe it will make museveni family to gain more power of ruling Uganda. For Kenyans,they are just jeolous of this pipeline because they wanted it to pass through kenya.

Not necessarily. Africa need to grow its brand. If this Niche guys will do it in US and Europe - while keep it's root in Ghana - that would great. What is even greater is if Ivory coast and Ghana - who control the market - met and decided to ban raw export of cocoa beans - or at least begin a graduated process where eventually at least 50% of cocoa beans are turned to chocolate bars right in Ghana - and ivory coast - doubling the value chain.

Fourpockets:
Misplaced priorities, too bad cos those billions if could have been invested in other African countries with cheap labour, it would have made the company more money and also it would have created more jobs on the continent, the US already has plenty of jobs

I dont log off

obaaderemi:
It's nairaland destroying you, not me. When you wake up in the morning and you log all your devices onto nairaland like you admitted, shows something is wrong somewhere.

Actually, I have gained a lot of African knowledge. I could become AFCTA expert now . I have been online forums since 2000 and have grown a very thick skin. You cannot destroy me however much you try.

obaaderemi:
Just take it easy with Nairaland. It has destroyed you enough. Brotherly advice.

obaaderemi:
Check again. There's a grey line under Ghana. From Burkina Faso to Ghana is a broad grey sector. The countries in that grey sector are classified as "Balanced"

The three countries under the grey sector are classified as "Net Exporters". They are South Africa, Madagascar and Cotedivoire. It's too early for you to start displaying your usual little Indian stupidity. Bloody illiterate.

Splitting hairs as usual obaboon

Just40:
the exporter gets only 30% of it and the retail gets the rest plus transport.

I think we all know cereal cost more, 300% more

Mexico world largest producer of avacado make more money from avacado than Ghana the world largest gold producer makes from gold...that is green gold...with huge multiplier including transport and packaging

At Midnight...

Just finished the final meeting at Harambee House....

In 5yrs Kazikazi and the lazy bones will be thinking what hell happened

Goodnight

Based on the tractor per area - definitely 3 times more.

GeneralDae:
So how many is in Kenya? and show me where it is second in Africa?

I think so; I am not certain; but suspect it
Look like you have only 7,000 active tractors - about 50k including broken down ones;

GeneralDae:
You said after South Africa, you have the second ownership of tractors in Africa, now you are reducing it to just tractors per arable land ?
The question is: How many tractors are in Kenya altogether?

One data source.

Mechanisation: World moves without Nigeria - Businessday NGhttps://businessday.ng › agriculture › article › mechanis...
Mar 6, 2019 — Kenya had 25 tractors per 100 square kilometres of arable land in 2009 while Nigeria has almost seven, according to the most recent data .

Now if you consider that arable land in Kenya is tiny sliver - then you know real tractor usage is intensive.

GeneralDae:
Stop speaking from your ass. Do your research first.
According to the report, ‘Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization: A Framework for Africa’, published last year by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, in 2000 the tractors in use in Africa were concentrated in a small number of countries, with 70% in South Africa and Nigeria.

Ethiopia is hopeless - landlocked. Nearly all manufacturing has to happen at coastline - anything else is not scalable - logistic wise. Tanzania is even more hopeless because they are just lazy.

African countries with coastline should develop free port linked to SEZ - if they have EXCESS LABOUR. Africa population doesnt generally have excess labour - it's still very youthful. kenya for example has abou 15M people - who are working age but half are farmers - so you're talking about 8 million people - remove traders and all that - you have real working population of 4 million spread in wide area.

Cities like Lagos have that opportunity - that likes of Dhaka and Veitnam cities have - If they can fix basic stuff. If Lagos can turn Lekki deep sea and sorrounding into SEZ - they can get manufacturing for export going. But stupid Nigeria gov is focused on ABUJA - hopeless Potemkin village that is USSR/Russia like.

If Lagos get the Deep Sea Port - give it to chinese to run it , give Lekki as SEZ with it's own electricity, security, taxes, laws and etc, and make it special economic zone - it has the ingredient for a successfully manufacturing hub - they will have huge desperate labour force - willing to sweat in manufacturing sweatshops - and with AGOA - few kilometres from the US shores - they will be very successful

GeneralDae:
So you are saying Ethiopia do not have all or most of these problems? So why do we not see the signs already in Ethiopia and Tanzania? Why are they not some of the top manufacturers of finished goods in Africa??

KaziKazi - without Kenya - you'd still be like Nigeria or Ghana - producing low tech agriculture.

State-owned Kenya Seed Company Ltd (Kenya Seed Company) researches, develops and markets field crops and vegetable seeds, alongside the sale of pesticides and fertilizers. It was incorporated in 1956, and in 1979 it acquired Simpson and White Law, a vegetable seed company that trades under the brand name Simlaw Seeds. Kenya Seed Company also established the brands Kibo in Tanzania and Simlaw Seeds (Uganda) in Uganda.

Bigger than South Africa now

AfriqueDuZuid:
Small amount

Typical fool.
TARI like KARI develop breeds or clones....these are researh institute
Kenya Seeds and Simlaw propagate them in large scale and sell to farmers
Kenya Seeds and Simlaw do this for entire East Africa.
Most of you crops are not hybrid - they are useless low quality maize - millers in Kenya reject.
I have done maize business - you have to blend with Kenya maize to sell

Kazikazi:
Tanzania agriculture research institute (TARI) has research centres all over across the country.One of their key mandate is to provide us with the best seeds which are suitable to our environments. While kenya imports most of her seeds,Tanzania does the opposite. We make most of the seeds ourselves.

Anyway,while you are busy importing tractors, Tanzania is busy making her own tractors..

We are not equal

You have no soft condition when you're under a protracted debt sustainable ECF and EFF ..... Your economy will be strangled

My Govt was never hoping to go to Eurobond because last time they tried going, they didn't have a favorable condition.

Your govt can't access the Eurobond market, China will not loan to you and it only option was IMF because theyve been defaulting for long now.

i live where one avacado is almost 3 dollars...that is half sack of your cereals

Just40:
you're just dumb....

Only fools do not produce cereals, cereals run the world and tea can't compare to any cereals you may think off.

Yet your fruits, nuts and veggies combined do not earn you even 1 billion dollars

You call avocado a high value crop? which world do you live in?

Sounds like primary or lower secondary schools elucidation of manufacturing. It doesnt work like that on real life.If it was easy like that many countries would have done it.
It's about many factors all coming together....at the right time.
Now it's happening in Vietnam and Bangaldesh.
Most important is having excess labour that you can hire at slavish cost.
Then there is logistics of moving raw materials and finished goods
Tanzania is 30yrs from being nearly ready
Kenya is pretty close

Kazikazi:
I mentioned some factors which gives Egypt, Tz and Ethiopia an edge,but you didn't bother to check them.

Yes there is a war in Ethiopia, but I believe it won't last long.

Most of these manufacturing business as we know are foreign owned,since you know very well most afticans are behind in technology,knowledge and the capital to enter into a real manufacturing business.As a result,foreign owned companies will dominate in Africa.And by that,there are countries which are considered too riskyfor foreigners to do manufacturing business in a large scale like those we saw in the far east like China,south Korea,Vietnam etc.And these risks are everywhere in most parts of Africa
Lack of cheap and reliable power
High gov corruption
High labour costs
Availability of raw materials (industrial minerals and agriculture stuff)
Lack of peaceful and stable policies

Uhuru the drunkard messed up farming - but give Ruto a year or two - and we have too much of the useless grains or cereals - until they turn up farmers.

Your hoe-powered agriculture with low quality maize cannot ever be compared to kenya.
Infact without Kenya Seeds moving to Tanzania - you'd still be producing the worse maize full of afflotoxin.

I have helped people import tractors from Europe. I can tell outside South Africa - Kenya has probably 2nd highest tractor ownership in Africa.

What can a starving nation do? Can they manufacture anything?
Before u even start talking about manufacturing, start solving your hunger issues. No nation, I repeat,no nation have been successfull on manufacturing while starving.

People who starve dont lack food; they lack money; Drought kills their livestock; they become poor; cant afford to buy food; otherwise they can never grow food on sandy desert.

Keny grain basket is North Rift that include Turkana and other drier parts - food is always available - but of course it's NOT FREE. They have to buy it.

Kitale-Eldoret produce high quality maize that Tanzania can only dream of - useless LOW QUALITY Tanzania and Uganda maize have to be blended to be accepted by milling plant.

Our intervention on drought now is CASH TRANSFER.

This is North Rift - that include Baringo, West Pokot and Turkana

Main maize, wheat and barely growing region in Kenya is around Eldoret, Nakuru and Narok

Cereals for fools . But u lack the same cereals and u starve like a fool. Khekhekhekhekhekhekhekhekhekhekhekhe

And again, u wanna start growing GMOs of the same cereals! You don't want organic, but GMOs.

Very stupid

From a Tanzanian - even a Kenya hawker on the street - would die of laughter. The only thing you can manufacture is bong music,witchraft and begging at industrial scale.

Kazikazi:
Kenya's value of manufactured goods is around 2b per annum.that I too little to talk about.You are still an infant in this big game of manufacturing. Kenyan workers contribute almost zero on that little manufacturing.Actually most of those little stuff you make requires very little brain.

1870 nearly has a million views already. Breathtaking - starting at mere 9Million. Worth investing here.

We went to IMF when they had their hands open for everyone due to COVID. We have soft conditions. Your gov refused to go to IMF then hoping to float another a Eurobond. Shock on you - Eurobond shut the doors on you. Now you're going to IMF on all your fours and IMF have set pre-conditions that would entail doing the unthinkable - default on the local debt - never mind eurobond investors have dumped Ghana bonds and dont even care if you pay - you wont pay - but you will never borrow again.

Just40:
Youve been begging IMF since last year and you'll be begging them for the next 5 years because without them, you can't run your country .. they are busy paying workers salary on your behalf.

Ghana is okay without IMF but we can't say same for Kenya, there already a hiring freeze in your country, you've been pushed to remove subsides what's next, reduction in your spending for the next 5 years and a freeze on spending for 5 years...

Kenyans will end up poorer
