What is wrong with cows crossing the road. Tell me exactly why that suspension bridge was built? To straighten the road? Why not just meander for a kilometer - along the shoreline - and save for some money. I was reading on KLM airline newspaper that there is only one ONCOLOGIST for children cancer in 60M people Tanzania. Why not save some money and go to Cuba - and get at least 100 children oncologists - one for every district.

Kazikazi:
I thought expressway was meant for vehicles only? But I was very wrong, a cow can also access it.


A cow? only in a failed state

The famous bridge to nowhere. Your LOW IQ country is just amazing.

See what Almajiri school of beggars did to you. Urgent issue is for Buhari to remove all tarrifs and customs for Africa products just as Kenya does the same. And of course try to keep Naira fairly stable and freely exchanging.

WB says if he does this 100M african will be lifted out of poverty with 200B dollars worth of trade. That is huge potential for intra-africa trade. Otherwise for now - we have to go to Europe or Asia or US - for things available in Africa.

Lame excuse is one currency and other such nonsense.

theenchanter:
ok.

Africa banks are expanding. Soon enough kenya banks will be in West Africa - and a Kenya trade can have his Cedis or dollar account deposited in Equty Bank branch of Accra - transferred same day to Kenya - and so will Ghana businessman with Access or UBA bank account in Nairobi.

Single currency is never an issue. China does trillion dollars worth of trade in USD.

Tarrifs, customs, and Logistic are urgent issues. Single currency we dont need it anytime soon.

theenchanter:
the problem with u is that u don't know anything and u're a talkative, bland talk tbh.

See - you dont make any sense. Why would the exchange rate differential be that much. And like I told you - traders will have no problem accepting CEDIS (if it become stable) - and KSH.

Removing tarrifs alone btw Kenya and Ghana - allowing free trade - will reduce the cost of trade by 40-50%. To enter England - kenya tea have to meet very high standards - then snake it way back to Ghana as Unilver Lipton tea (never mind England cultivate zero tea) - after all that changing hands - they become very expensive. For cocoa it the same - Swiss dont farm any cocoa - but Kenyans will import Chocolate from there. If Ghana want milk - they go to Europe - when Kenya is awash with milk.

If we export directly to Ghana with free trade - it become very cheap for Ghana and very profitable for kenya - its a win- win - currency exchange loss will be minimal - margins of buy/selling dollars that bankers will keep.

Once trade blossom - and countries keep their currencies fairly stable - intra-africa exchange rate develop - you dont need dollars - you just need to know Kshs to Cedis or Naira rate.

theenchanter:
let me tell u what u don't know. If we decide to trade in dollar while adjusting our native currencies to match the dollar rate, there'll be problem of prices.

By the time u adjust ur tea price to the dollar to sell to Nigeria, for example, you'll find out that Nigerians might not buy ur tea cos it'll be more expensive than what we buy here, might even be costlier than importing from foreign countries.

U still don't have sense.

You never make any sense ever. What is big deal with currency. If we trade in USD - isnt that trade important. COMESA is 19th countries and trade flourish there.

What is important is trade...you dont go to England to buy Kenya tea - sending USD to England - you send the USD to Kenya.

We also dont go to Switzerland to buy Chocolate or cocoa - we buy it from Ghana - sending USD to Ghana.

If we dont like KShs and Cedis.

TRADE is the core - the medium of exchange is secondary.

theenchanter:
u actually didn't make any sense, then u reverted to gold or USD and made everything worse.

Cooked books - remitted Zero.Zero to federal gov of Nigeria.

This is a month ago..

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) has failed to make remittances into the federation account for seven straight months in 2022.

This is despite a gross revenue of over N2.8 trillion from crude oil, and gas sales within the period.

This revelation was obtained from NNPC’s presentation to The Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) for July 2022.

NNPC was expected to pay into the federation N1.23 trillion, which will then be distributed to the three tiers of government.

obaaderemi:
It's still better than kq. At least it declared a profit in billions of dollars last year. What about kq, your flying coffin?

Lame excuse. If you dont like CEDIS you can always ask for dollars or gold. We have COMESA, EAC and others trading. You can change CEDIS to Kshs in airport of Ghana or Kenya as trade improves...in meantime we can take USD or gold. These are auxilary issues.

theenchanter:
don't forget that it's a continental trade agreement... So, if Ghana or kenya is trading with about 30 African countries, there will be demand for the 30 African currencies in Ghana or kenya

U don't have sense.

KQ on it's deathbed remain the 2nd most successfully national airline in SSA - with long history of profitability = in a sector that is very brutal- unlike NNP who have 45yr long history of making losses - in a sector - of oil n gas - that is ver lucrative.

obaaderemi:
It's true o. I've even forgotten about that one.
You see, the problem with the little Indians is that they are contented with the mess their country is. Unlike Nigerians and Ghanaians that you see here talking about the problems of their countries. The little Indians do not know their country is a terrible shithole.

With Naira collapsing against the dollar - maybe KCB will accept groundnuts for payment. I am expecting both Equity and KCB to soon eclispe all Nigerian banks

Shaytun:
Don’t mind him.

There’s no possible way Kenya banking sector will ever catch up to nigeria.

We are not even in the same league.

I see either gtb or AccessBank acquiring KCB in the nearest future.

Yes especially because CEDIS is like South Sudanase pound. By time you're in back - it would have depreciated by a lot. Otherwise it will be south sudan expereince - hell on earth for business.

gallivant:
They can pay in gold. That's my final proposal.

If Nigeria gov owns it 100% - the board will still be 100% gov appointed. You cannot call that independent. Unless you sell at least 40-49 percent - just enough to bring in private sector - hopefully strategic partner who knows oil n gas - without losing control - you're wasting time. Next gov will fill up NNP board with relatives, girlfriends and boyfriends

Shaytun:
Independent of government in its day to day running.
As it should have been, government have no business running enterprise, they are very poor in capitalism.

The Nigerian government is a shareholder.

Owned by NNPC 49 percent.

Shaytun:
Ever heard of NLNG?

It’s controls 10% of the world liquified gas market.

When nigeria new gas train comes on board that number is bound to increase to around 16%.

The company will soon be bigger than Kenya itself.

We trade in East Africa in our currencies. As long as trade is both ways - there will be demand for kSHS in Ghana - and Cedis in kenya.

theenchanter:
the emboldened are things that needed to the sorted before rushing into the trade agreement.

I don't see it working sha.... But that's just my own opinion.

As for the currency, it's also very important because of the difference in exchange rate of African countries. If u sell ur tea to Ghana, what currency will u collect from Ghana? Cedis or KSh? Knowing fully well that there's exchange rate difference in the currencies.

Some countries will even cry over it, mark my word.

It's a good start. I dont see one currency as being impediment. Transport system require urgent work. There a lot of hardwork required to remove tarrifs, change laws, open up borders, remove passports requirements for travel intra-africa...so many low hanging fruits...before we go for one currency, one language, one president..on united africa...in 200yrs from now.

theenchanter:
I still reiterate my stance over acfta that not until there's a common currency and interconnected transport system..... Acfta might not work. Only some paltry goods here and there will be traded.

Kenya tea export to Ghana - look like this Africa free trade might work.

Youre comparing 70 business that are operational...Tatu city already has thousands of workers...Alaro..with 59 committments..with zero operational factory. Stop smoking weed this early. Tatu city phase 1 sold out. Phase 2 is selling out. Alaro?

Seem it's just one factory and the universal homes under construction.

PROVERBZ:
there are 59 businesses in alaro.
And only 3 have something to do with Kenya.

1- Ariel foods owned by and Indian man masquerading as Kenyan.

2- universal homes owned by australians,new Zealanders, Americans and Russians.

3- nova pioneer. Registerd as a south African company but owned by a Nigerian who's dream was to build schools in his home country Nigeria.

There is no glory for Kenya to claim here.

Oil and gas investment since 1950s

obaaderemi:
You always talk like an illiterate. That's why we always have to lecture you here like a baby.

Nigeria is not ready for investment yet it routinely gets more fdi than your dirty slummy little India. Always talking without facts like a fool.

Turn out NPPC has not made profit in the last 40,yrs.

obaaderemi:
Govt shares in nnpc is worth over $10bn. You don't count in the same league as Nigeria.

Yet it's worse in oil producing countries... Algeria one is behemoth and so is Angola..Saudi Arabia Aramco is a beast

You will look back on uhuru's time with nostalgia.

You simply don't know Ruto capacity and capabilities... Kenya after 10yrs will be unrecognizable

Kenya gov under Ruto lift ban on GMOS and now BT cotton will be launched soon plus other crops

Just40:
great you ask for that ...

Ghana debt servicing to revenue stands at 48%
Kenya parliamentary report put Kenya's debt servicing to revenue at 63% while Bloomberg puts it at 74%.

Unfortunately you can't meet your expenditure hence your borrowing for your budget and to pay salaries.

Kenya ordinary revenues are more than 20b dollars..debt repayment around 8 billion per year..stop inventing your figures

Just40:
Ghana has every means to repay it debt, Kenya does not.

Hence why your country took budgetary support IMF bailout last year and this year you have taken another IMF bailout to start repaying the Chinese loan despite several years of debt restructuring and freeze on debt repayment from china.

check debt servicing ratio..debt is repaid from taxes... Kenya ratio is not even at 40 percent.. Ghana is soon joining Nigeria at 100 per cent plus meaning being broke completely.Kenya problem is having to cut development or borrow to develop but we can meet our expenditures including debt repayment . Nigeria is borrowing to pay salaries.. Ghana going there

Pseudo history zanj and kambas ..the slaves DNA point at Ghana, Nigeria,Congo, Angola and Mozambique.

Justnotyou:
The Maa stance on slavery had been documented by scholars long before naira land was even a thing so you're literal inventing your own version of history on the Maa by suggesting otherwise. "The Maasai people stood against slavery and never condoned traffic of human beings; and outsiders looking for people to enslave avoided the Maasai. Essentially there are twenty-two geographic sectors or sub tribes of the Maasai community, each one having its own customs, appearance, leadership and dialects."
https://www.google.com/search?q=the+maasai+stance+on+slavery&oq=the+maasai+stance+on+sl&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j33i160l4j33i22i29i30l3.11906j0j4&client=ms-android-huawei-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#:~:text=The%20Maasai%20people,leadership%20and%20dialects.

The Kamba, Kikuyu... arrived in Southern Kenya fairly recently & were surrounded by the Maa to the west & the coastal bantus to the east, their earliest ancestors left their genetic imprits in Kenya during the 3rd - 6th century CE, so most of their slave raids happen to have involved mostly Tanzanians, & the buyers were the Zanj who re-exported the slaves to the Indian Ocean market.

The only east Africans that were sold to the west (Brazil, Caribbean, USA) were from Mozambique & Madagascar by the Portuguese, lol the Asante had enough slaves & were the ones selling each other as slaves for meager things like rum, clothing, & the likes.

Maasai like most nilotes escaped from Sudan after resisting Arabic slaves trade way back before 10th century..Arab Islamic conquest were around 2nd to 5th century..they moved with horses converting Africans in Sahara to Islam when not enslaving them..there is no way the Maasai could condone slave trade back in Kenya in the 15th century after battling Arab horses previously.Maasai defended East Africa hinterland against slavery and colonialism until their civil war and rinderpest weaken them.. allowing the Brits and German to move in and sign peace treaty.The Arabs feared Maasai.The European were told not even think about attacking Maasai

Justnotyou:
Somehow you're even more pitiful, Zanj was the name adopted for the swahili coast by the middle eastern traders. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanj

Obviously as I've put it in perspective in my earlier response to just40s misguided stance, the Swahili/Zanj traded with their fellow middle eastern Muslims in slaves, the slaves came mostly from central African & southern African slaving grounds, Muslims rarely turn their fellow Muslims into slaves & guess the predominant religion for most of the swahili.

You're driving sense into the two morons with admirable patience's.Slaves in East Africa were mainly from Kongo and Buganda kingdom.They were bought by Arabs slave traders and taken to the coast to be sold.. mostly in Zanzibar

obaaderemi:
Indeed. You are really hard up for ass to kiss.

I will be last person to lynch him because he speaks facts...he only patriot who calls Nigeria what it is..out of deep love for your zoo.The zoo will only change when you call it what it is...not better than Zoomalia.Kenya has got to where it is through such patriots.You cannot call a zoo where electricity is a luxury, security unheard of,basic pipe water..name it..it's a zoo.. hopeless despite oil..last in almost every indices out there

Just40:
Take er..


The Arabians specifically set up breeding programs for your women slaves that were transported there

There are 44.44 million Afro Arabians whose ancestry can be trace directly to East Africa

Maybe in Egyptian Nubian .In era of genetic you're just incorrigible

When you go so low as to lick the arse of that illiterate, then I know you are having a bad time here.
