Ruto has done enough to rise from MP to Minister to Deputy President. If our president die like Yardua - he will become president like Goodluck. He is like your Obisanjo. You should focus on what Obisanjo promises to fixes Nigeria problems. Not listing 100 nonsensical things that he has done in office. If you need to list things you've done then you've done nothing. A good CV is one pager. If you've been a CEO of fortune 500 company - that is one line. Anybody intelligent enough should know what CEO of big company does.

So change the conversation from what Obina did or Tinubu did as state governors or Obisanjo did as VP - and focus on what they are promising to do - ask yourselves if they have their understood Nigeria contemporary challenges, and what are their proposals to fix those issues.

Obina, Tinubu, Obisanjo, Atiku - they are qualified - having been state governors or vice presidents before - so as much as you want to focus on their track record - it wont help solve the current problems. They need to be all over telling Nigerians how they can wipe the shame of lacking 24hours of electricity. It's totally completely insane not have 24hours of electricity - even Somali Mogadishu has 24 hours of electricity.

GeneralDae:
So what has Ruto done previously that makes him capable? How do you know he can do what he promised? I am sure Uhuru also promised Heaven and Earth.

By the time youre in consideration for president; then you meet some basic criteria; that is you've done something previously enough to be a serious candidate. Dont tell us about building primary schools and desks 25yrs ago - tell us their proposal to fix nigeria current problems.

What CHANGE are they proposing to fix electricity crisis? Any single idea. That is interesting debate.

Next Boko Haram/Fulani Cows/Cattle rustling/ Islamic extermisms? Any ideas?

Next poverty & unemployment? Any ideas.

GeneralDae:
Exactly why Governor Muranga is my preffered candidate. Trust me, Kenyans need those free cows.

But let me ask you this:
When you interview candidates for a job, what is your scoring criteria? Is it:
1) The Ideas they supposedly have( what they said they would do)? OR
2) What they have done before?

Heckling 24-7s will not help.
Uhuru grew our economy from 4 trillion to 12 trillion kshs in 10yrs.
From 40B to 110B usd in 10yrs.
Average growth rate is almost 6 percent.
And that is semi-functional drunkard
Nigeria you elected a dead man - that Trump described as lifeless.
And he is primary school dropout to booth.

Balogunodua:
The Nigeria corpse performed better then the living dead called Kenya President

Fix electricity first before you talk ZOogerian. You're not allowed to talk - mini zoo Ghana can talk - before functional nations.

Balogunodua:
Tinubu is greater than any Kenya politician dead or alive..including the drunkard Uhuru the failed Kenya Messiah


Now Ruto or Raila the upcoming drug addicts

Thanks goodness you're not me. But yes cows in Kenya are very valuable - because we are building world class dairy industry. That gov was head of Kenya gov milk dairy - and has done well in dairy in his county.

This Muranga county where he is the governor

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzWMAYP8QP8

There are cows in kenya that will cost you even 3 million Naira.

We have definitely built Africa best dairy industry - and if Nigeria copied kenya - you could eliminate lot of poverty and fulani mess.

GeneralDae:
If I were you, I would vote the Governor of Muranga.

Kenya politics - it's 2.5 months to the general election - the two leading candidates are well known - one has been prime minister - one is current deputy president.

Opinion polls indicate it's neck to neck...although Ruto has an edge. I also believe based on my tribal modelling of kenya mostly ethnic based politics that Ruto is going to win in 1st round.

The running mates (Deputy President) will be unveiled before the deadline on Monday...today or tomorrow.

Then manifestos will follow. The focus of the candidates is the future...to sell their ideas on how they will make life better for kenyans.

By time you want to be president your track record should be known - and focus should be on the manifesto or issues.

Nigeria will end up electing another Buhari for what he did in 1985 - this time it's Tinubu- for what he did in 1990s - then they arrive too old too weak too senile too tired to do anything except breath and other basic metabolism.

Nigeria politics is messed up. The focus should be debating and discussing solutions to problem facing it. They should be talking day and night on fixing electricity crisis, bringing millions of kids to school, solving security challenges, the collapsed federal infrastructure and growing internal revenues.

But it's about - what I did 20yrs ago to provide desks to 10 primary schools.

One would imagine these are well known personalities; and focus should be on their manifesto; what they are promising to do; their ideas; and the future. Not everything he did in the office 25yrs ago. What are they proposing to fix electricity crisis for example?

At least this focus of kenya politics - what will you do?

For example Ruto (who I am supporting) is promising amongst other things - universal health coverage -No Kenyan will pay for medication once we assume office this year because they will all be under the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) cover. That is our priority at Kenya Kwanza.

Raila who I dont support - is promising welfare cheque for every jobless or poor family of 6,000kshs (60 dollars) every month.

>>Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has defended his decision to give unemployed Kenyans Ksh6,000 monthly stipend noting that the state had enough money to set up the Ksh100 billion Social Welfare Fund.

One joke - governor of muranga - is promising every kenya a cow

>>“Some say that they will give out Ksh.6,000 to the needy but my government will provide every Kenyan citizen with a cow.One home, one cow, and I will make this come true. I want to start it before being elected as President,” he explained.

GeneralDae:

Nigeria politics..are you going to list every tiny thing each candidate did?

Way ahead of schedule; Nairobi expressway today opens for public use.

You get what you pay for; if you want chinese to build you a gold plated road; they will;

Kazikazi:
What is more strange about these Chinese is,when they are building something in their homeland,you will see a very good infrastructure, but when they come and build something for Africans,then the whole hell will broke loose,all the shoddy work will be at display.
May be they take these ignorant africans for granted?

You're kidding yourself.
Just remove hotels - that is more ridicolous than word itself.
Not even Nairobi come close to Mombasa in that.

Now do you port like Mombasa port with all related industries that stretches all the way near Mariakiani?
Nope - that would be Lagos - right?

So Mombasa has Lagos in it (port city - sitting on natural harbour) - and resort city on world class white sandy beaches (nothing like that in entire west africa)

Nairobi is business+industrial city.

Mombasa is port +resort city.

Kuruptnigga:
The only thing mombasa is ahead of Abuja and Port Harcourt is just that beautiful beachs/island. But when it comes to environmental, roads, shopping center, Housing estates, World class hotels. Infact infrastructure as a whole, Mombasa is not even at the level of kaduna.

Dont make me laugh. People fly direct from Europe to go and spend their time in Mombasa. Your totally useless soot covered port city should concentrate in being an oil city.

Not even Abuja come close.

Mombasa to Diani - 40kms
Mombasa to Vipingo - 40kms
That is coastline - that gives 80kms of world class beachfront with hotels.

Mombasa to Mariakani - 40kms- this towards the mainland - to Nairobi

Mombasa port - is larger than anything you got in Nigeria. Mombasa has a large industrial base - 2nd only to Nairobi.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA9SvQRj3EU

Kuruptnigga:
My friend? Mombasa is a castle kral. Port harcourt has a world class airport, railway, stadium, Hotels, malls, parks, estates etc which mombasa dose not have. Mombasa should first aim Owerri before getting to Port Harcourt

Unless beauty to you means something else - mombasa as resort city is incredibly beautiful with world class beaches, hotels, resorts and name it


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOAsrfE9aus

Mombasa is more beautiful than Nairobi. Cant be compared to that dirty soot covered Port Harcourt.

Mombasa if define as metro - including diani, north coast (all way to vipingo), and mainland to mariakani is huge.

Mombasa has more hotels bed than entire Nigeria - I am talking of proper hotels and cottages - you're talking almost 40kms of hotels on both direction from mombasa main city (Island) - that is almost 80kms of world class beach front with hotels.

Kuruptnigga:
Nairobi is beautiful and still developing. But i’m talkIng about mombasa and Port Harcourt. Nairobi is the only beautiful city in kenya. No doubt.

Nairobi Southlands - South C/B - and Nairobi National Park edge. Also visible is the Nairobi dying Industrial area - as industries are moving to the metro.

You can see Nigeria first import to Kenya - the Winners Chapel South B huge church - I remember my brother joining it circa 1996 - so many Nigerian to this day come to Kenya as missionairies to spread their prosperity gospel.

Joburg in 10yrs will be seeing dust from the former dustbowl of Nairobi.

If you're very idle watch this

Kuruptnigga:
But you and i know that Port Harcourt is more developed and clean than Mombasa

Maube you have your own Mombasa.

Kuruptnigga:
Port Harcourt City.
Far more better than Mombasa

You cannot compare darkness (TZ) with light(kenya)

Kazikazi:
Each type of governing system has its shortcomings,I can't bury the head on a sand and day the central gov in TZ whivh appoints governors they are always getting good people for a job sometimes political favours deddies who should go where.
But again in issues of your expensive system, the cost factor is a huge setback for almost all of African nations,we can't afford and its stupid to pay a huge money to politicians in those tiny tiny areas u call county. Then there is tribalism.Federations increases tribalism.And there is no proof to say federations work better than centralization type on any African country.
Just check kenya,with all ur praises,the poorest region in Kenya if compared with the poorest region in Tz,our Tz region wil still look better

Can we compare?

China is 95% hans - they are homegenous. Federation and democracy yes worsen tribalism but also unleashed 'free market' like competition for resources which makes it more efficient than your dormant one-man or now woman systems. Instead of one Magufuli - TZ has a chance to create 10 magufulis every election - leaders who can transform their country.

Kenya we moved forward post Moi regime because of that. We had TZ like pronvincial system of une-elected gov appointed DCS and PCS. That never works. Accountable leaders are those elected by people - not picked by national gov based on whims.

We have CDF - each MP is given money for development - so they can fix issues facing their people - schools, roads, water, transformer for electricity.Now we have counties - with governors and their small parliament - fixing issues at that level. National gov the same.

There are many great mps and governors who have used little money to transform their areas - there are thieves - and useless ones - but rarely do they survive re-election. The firing rate is 70% of leaders go home every 5yrs.

Now imagine you useless DC or PC will retire - perform or not - at 60yrs.

Kazikazi:
How is China governed? China is so similar with Tz system of governance.
Actually,the federal system have been a failure in most African countries.Most africans are filled with tribalism, if u give them federations,their tribalism worsens as the case of Ethiopians. And again,federation are costly to run, just think of kenya,where many county's gov fails to pay salaries.

Change your constitution first. Tanzania is too big to be controlled from Dar. You need federation. More small Zanzibars will unleash the potential of the country. Magufuli possibly died of fatigue trying to macro-manage that huge country. TZ and DRC - need to be either split or federal system like Nigeria is needed - or even kenya devolved system.

Kazikazi:
They really depend on tanzania's favour to grow their economy

Nairobi Marathon on expressway - the road to be open to public in a week...completed in record 1.5yrs - way ahead of schedule despite covid-19


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cdGYdeL7J4

Even their hotels - name it - my friend normally sneak there and design them - and sneak back - they can never allow kenya proffesional to get work permit - but their useless proffesional cant hack it.

It a very cold day in hell when you have lazy dull Tanzania competing with Kenya

gallivant:
All the buildings in Dar are designed and built by Kenyans. Even your parliament was a Kenyan project, am I lying kumakazi?

Same bad reputation worldwide. You cannot blame Kenya Immigration for profiling west africans.

Just40:
As usual... Kenyans are dumb and unexposed

Crazy backward people

GeneralDae:
Where you also in their capital? and when did you go there?

Natural resource curse or paradox. Nigeria airlines suspend flights - they cannot afford to buy oil - that is found plentiful in their country

Nigerian airlines are to suspend all flights from Monday over rising jet fuel prices, an umbrella organisation of operators said on Saturday.

https://nation.africa/africa/news/nigerian-airlines-suspend-flights-over-soaring-fuel-prices-3808566?fbclid=IwAR0LzMjHDW9j4Zd6TzSqT_PfnkzFiiJrKEcy2L2KzqK_D0Yz2KGv8kKvyag

I guess they have run out of military generals. They should re-cycle Obasanjo once again. He seems to have some clue of managing the mess that is Nigeria.

gallivant:
Lol

Or a sick senile drug baron.

Not the same. EABL is kenyan company that is now majority foreign owned (Daigeo 50% - Kenyans and other investors 50%). It's HQ in Nairobi and all its operation run from Nairobi.

GeneralDae:
It would be the equivalence of saying Jumia is a Nigerian company. Though it was founded by two Nigerians alongside two Germans in 2012.

Stick to Nigeria politics and dont elect a primary dropout nex tyear

obaaderemi:
I told you that one is more stupid than rip2018.

Ruto is even a bigger thief than kenyatta. How they expect a landgrabber who is never known to build any meaningful business in his life to do better than a kenyatta who is business oriented. Kenya is really hard up.

TZ & Uganda do British system- A-level (six years of secondary) - Kenya finish secondary with O-levels (only 4yrs of secondary). Kenya 8-4-4 (copied from Canada/US) requires one to go for pre-university of one year to study A-level maths and such. Those kids were therefore being taught A-level maths. If they had gone to kenya university - the first year is for such kind of things. Uganda or TZ should do 3 yrs of university - a Kenyan 4 yrs.

Kenya dumped the British system in 1984 - with end of East Africa community - and adopted Canada system of education - the 8-4-4 - extra year in primary - then 4yrs in secondary and 4yrs in university. What 8-4-4 did was to remove the A-level bottleneck that had choked our education systems and continue to choke TZ and Uganda....because they are few A-level secondary schools..

Now we have dumped 8-4-4 and adopted CBC - what likes of Finland uses.

Kazikazi:
I see u go too far.let me put brakes

These are your fellow Kenyans talking while studying with Tz students in turkey

IPPS cost nothing in capitation. We stopped them before we had to pay too much excess capacity. You're going to pay a billion dollars annually for idle turbines for a long time. That is stupidity of highest order. It almost all your oil royalties gone like that.

Just40:
It will cost your country almost 20 billion dollars of investment into electricity production in order to get to where Ghana is currently. And you'll need 40 billion dollars plust to get to where Nigeria is in energy production is.
