INSTALLED CAPACITY - in consumption - you're operating at half. And that data is really old

Nigerians are not complaining, we have the money Mazze, why do you think our consumptions keeps going up?

But it's has larger economy than any country in central Africa - and it belong to Africa.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Kenya is not a central African country

About 4-5 dollars -max 6 dollars - nigeria I think 10 even 12 dollars.

how much is a 50kg bag of cement in Kenya?

You must have bought bespoke designs - looking at the renders why would you need such an extravagant intersection? Lagos with world worst commute is crying for those.

Idle talks. PISA like assessment accross countries have been done over the years - and Kenya kids are only competing with Mauritus in Africa. You compete as always with Somalia and Burundi...though you beat them in number of kids out of school...in streets begging.

obaaderemi:
If Nigerian kids sit for exams in Kenya, the pass rate would be close to 100. If your kids are failing exams simply because they are asked to analyse stuff, then it shows they've been poorly prepared and frivolous on their own part.

Same goes for your nurses, who struggle to pass basic literacy exams. Kenya's education is bad. Simple.

Mad cow it's how Ghana measure electricity access - if a community or village has some wires - then you declare everyone has electricity - dont worry India has similar methodology - it's very misleading

For this reason, although MoP estimated electricity access in 2010 to be about 72% (meaning 72% of Ghana's population lived in communities with access to electricity ...

it's a simple question.... No need for your lunatic epistle

The fact that your country send electricity to communities and don't connect the houses does not mean we do same..

What is the plan to sell cement - about 3 times lower like Kenya. Otherwise this good for Rabiu & his few employees- and bad for Nigeria. It's better if you were to continue importing - for surely manufacturing something that is almost 4 times more expensive than global prices is crazy

Nigeria Industrialization sure, This what we call equal development across all region
Abdulsamad Rabiu of BUA will this morning host President Buhari to commission this newly built 3 million ton cement plant in Sokoto. [/b]The Kano billionaire and second richest man in Nigeria is building two more plants in [b]Edo and Adamawa to take their production to 20 million tons with a a 48 megawatt power plant for Sokoto Cement line 3 in Sokoto State

I was taking my niece to college recently - and I asked her about exams - and she confirmed - Kenya exams since 2015 changed from Nigeria type crap (List or Name this) - into analytical exams - she told me in all subject except maybe CRE and Agri.

If West Africa kids were to sit for Kenya exams - failure rate will be close to 100 percent. In fact I recall reading getting kids scoring an A in Kenya biology (should be one simplest STEM) has become so hard..medicine courses have issues.

In short - you get what you measure - I am sure kids in Burundi and Nigeria pass their easy exams - but when will you make the turn for better and really measure that critical thinking skills?

obaaderemi:
It remains to be seen if this will stem the woeful failure Kenya's final year secondary school students always encounter.

If we used Ghana method of measuring electricity access - we would be 100 percent - because you basically count community access - as electricity access

Between 2014 and 2016, the government of Kenya embarked on an extensive electrification project targeting all schools. Schools near the grid network were connect to grid electricity while those further received solar photovoltaics. This increased the share of schools with electricity from 56% in 2014 to 94% in 2016

Then we have supplied 99 percent of all schools with digital tools

Having long rolled out digital platforms in all primary and secondary schools - that involved electrifying all schools, giving them tablets, laptops and audio-visual equipment's - Kenya has launched virtual lessons to address teacher shortage.

You are too slow..like Nigeria. By time you're done...Kenya would have build 3 times more projects. PROJECTS NEED TO BE EXECUTED ON TIME, ON COST AND ON QUALITY. That mean you only begin a project when you have the money and you hire competent firms.

Dont be Ghana - my peace corp friend told me - it mortuary of failed projects all over the country.

Look at your SGR - you're now going into 6yrs - you began in 2017 April - and it still far from over - you may ride that train 10yrs later

Kenya we pulled SGR In 2yrs almost - 18 months ahead of schedule - started in 2014 and by 2017 it was operation. And it MSA-NBO - twice your Morogoro project - that will be completed in 2027

Look at Nairobi Expressway - almost one year - nailed.

Kazikazi:
....and Tanzania is building more projects than Kenya.Just on railway alone,we are pouring more than 14b for Africa's longest SGR project!
I can't mention little stuff like road constructions and gov buildings,that is too much,imagine in Dodoma alone,we have about 5b worth of projects.

What makes a country part of a region? DRC the biggest Central African country just joined EAC or say Great Lakes Region or Sub-Sahara region or Supra-Sahara. It also factual to say XYZ is biggest in East, West and Central Africa - or simply say outside South Africa in Sub-Sahara Africa - or even to say north of Limpompo river and south of Sahara desert? All those are innocent geographical constructs that should not make you angry.

You should contribute to substantive issues - not tangential issues - in an argument

AfriqueDuZuid:
You cannot be biggest in West and Central when you are not part of those regions.

It's impossible for a Ukraine to say biggest in East and West Europe while it's located in East Europe.

So Kenya cannot claim biggest in Central while its not in Central or West regions

Usual nonsense.Your budget tells us everything.Kenya is building things all over the country and at faster rate than Nigeria can dream of.Dont console yourself with its only tiny CBD.To match Kenya you need to do things four times..more.

68816419:
man, on a serious note, there is nothing spectacular about these projects, these are types of projects you find in smaller states in Nigeria. Our major issue with Kenyans is the fact that , %90 of your projects are concentrated at around Nairobi CBD. In Nigeria, take Borno state for example, the state just recently completed a huge flyover/underpass bridge , while the second one is ongoing, the state is also expanding it's sporting facilities and dualizating all it's roads, mega schools are also been built across the state and not only at Maiduguri(state capital) .kaduna buit massive 5 flyovers bridge in spate of 2 yrs,63+ dualized roads, massive sports centers among other massive projects, Ebonyi is also building 7 new beautiful flyovers, New international airport, new stadiums, massive road projects, and one of thelargest mall in Nigeria.
Rivers State is a no go area, the state is about completing it's 9 and 10th massive flyovers Bridges, akwa Ibom state is another state with countless flyover Bridges projects, new International airport, new stadiums...
I wouldn't dare to even mention Lagos and Abuja trust me,the projects in these states are mind blowing. Just today the state starts another massive flyover bridge at around Ojota asis of Lagos mainland, 4th mainland (34km) bridge is about to begin, 15km alternative lekki region road is getting completed, 6 lanes lekki epe express way is nearing completion as well,30km+ 10 lane oshodi expressway will be completed very soon, and countless other projects
Man, Nairobi can only compete with states like kaduna or even Borno when it's comes to road and highway Infrastructures.

Use future tense. Eko City is currently a lonely white elephant in the corner of Victoria Island.

samorobo:
Look I know a lot about waterfall city and most development in SA owing to the fact that I watch “livinginSA”. So yeah I can confidently tell you that waterfall is yet another menlyn city,rose bank,sandton and the likes,nothing futuristically impressive.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zVMC0F3B5s

The canal is an advanced transport option created to ease traffic and faster Urban movement in peak hours.
And your gautrain is just a drive through or stopover at the city,EAc has its own private train moving throughout the entire city not sharing with the rest of Lagos .

Waterfall like the rest of sandton and South Africa is anything but smart.eko Atlantic is 21st century city with cutting edge technology .you are basically replicating more previous south africa not future South Africa ,get the difference.
EAC is an energy efficient smart city that has a mandate for all its building to meet the “green EDGE standard”,same cannot be said fir sandton ,waterfall or the rest of SA likewise Europe and US.For starters no where in SA is even a smart city just some basic 20th century stuff.

https://www.ekoatlantic.com/our-green-commitment/

And I said eko Atlantic development phase 2 couldn’t take place so they sold it off to new developers which has incorporated airport,stadium into their city planning and its just adjacent eko Atlantic,nothing seperares both. Once they both developed it would look like they both grew together not knowing they are entirely different projects with different developer.by extension of their closeness visitors,residents can equally use the airport if this other city to get to EAC.

Just in case you missed this infrastructural marvel. Watch.

Somalis taught the US a lesson they will never forget - so much when they were told to intervene in Rwanda genocide - they said - Not Africa again

Gen Farah Aidid taught the US best squad a lesson in war


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ApfDyeP7Zk

Why would BH storm Lagos or Abuja when they control territory, drive tanks and levy taxes - appoint governors and administrator in Nigeria.
Alshabaab and jihadist have been in somalis for 30yrs.
They never dared attack Kenya
When they tried with small grenades - kidnapping tourists - we crossed the border - and kicked them out of large swatche of Somalia.
They were shaking in their booths denying they were responsible for kidnapping but we went ahead and kicked them out

BIG difference btw Kenya and Nigeria - day and night..

GeneralDae:
US does not fight Bokoharam for Nigeria, they just assist with weapons and some technological know how sometimes in the use of the weapons (which we buy actually).
Besides, while Al Shabbab could stroll into Nairobi anytime attacking mostly Nairobi (and still can, left to Kenyan military alone), Bokoharam and ISWAP for the most part fight within the chad/Nigerian Borders and mostly some villages in Borno state.

US after being beaten blue by Somalis in 1990s will never put troops in Somalia. They only use drones to kill Alshabaab. Alshabaab unlike BK is not just homegrown terror - it has fighters from American and European citizens - and those are the ones that interest the US.

Dont ever compare your cowardly Boko Haram with Somalis - that send chill down the spines every Western Army. Somalia= Afghan - because they can fight and fight and fight.

Somalis fought US Navy Seals for 24hours non-stop - brought Apache helicopters down, killed the Navy seals and dragged them in the city. US will never dare go to Somali again...they just cowardly shot them from the air using drones from Lamu and Djibutti...and Kenya troops are on the ground.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mi-MESF4cO0

GeneralDae:
Why do you need U.S to fight Al Shabbab, I thought you said Malians are Cowards?
Besides you are wrong, France has done nothing in Mali, they've only caused more problems since they arrived. This is why the Malians are going for Russia.

We are fighting Alshabaab in Somalia together with US, Ethiopia, Uganda and Burundi. That is our contribution to global peace. That is why Kenya is rank top 5 in world for contributing to global good.

They are not coming to assist us fighting internal terror - like US did in Nigeria - and French basically babysit the entire region.

Appisko:


NAIROBI, Kenya 

The US will send troops to Kenya in a bid to aid East African countries in the war against al-Shabaab terrorists, local media reported Sunday.

Al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Shabaab terrorists have plagued East African countries since 2006, leaving a trail of death, injuries, and suffering in their wake.

In a letter to the US Congress, “President Biden said that he had approved sending special operations troops to Kenya, which are expected to collaborate with the Kenyan military in combating Al-Shabaab. The number of troops is not indicated," Kenya’s Nation daily reported.

Where in Mombasa? We only have US airfield in Lamu Manda Island at the tip with Somalia - and the Airbase is used for joint operation against Islamic terrorism in SOMALIA - never in Kenya.

lunatic rant

You guys are cowards. Ivory coast, Mali, Burkinfaso, Chad, Niger - without french forces - Islamist will simply overrun those countries. My Ethiopian friend was based in Mali - he tell me the moment the Islamist attack - gov forces basically run south. He told me he's never seen such cowardly people. And French literally have to be flow in - to take care of it.Look at Nigeria - the entire country is a mess - if it's not kidnapping, it's illegal gangs, it's boko haram, it's cattle rustlers, it's jihadist.

The french do a great job in your cowardly nations.

GeneralDae:
rvp2018 some French guys have been caught in time past selling weapons to terror groups. Ever since they established military bases in West Africa in 2012, terror groups got strengthened and ISWAP grew wings. Frances have their drones and Military base in Chad not far from the Lake Chad Basin where ISWAP operates, yet they do nothing, they've only been interested in maintaining the leaders they want in Chad even resisting democracy for Chad. The Francophone West African people are tired already except their puppet leaders.

Usual madness

Just40:
That is where the have their forward operational base

They have 7,000 to 8,000 stand by force in Kenya

Not it doesn't - Djibouti is where they have troops.

Basically US run one of the biggest military base in East Africa from your country ....


So you guys are just like the french countries in West Africa.. learn to defend yourself than to be dependent

Very likely in Nigeria than Ghana. You're totally dysfunctional as we speak.

obaaderemi:
He is really stvpid.
Coup in Ghana or Nigeria.

Yes we cooperate with US, Isreal & UK to fight international terror - but we dont have troops on the ground babysit us. In Manda Island we allow US to fly their drones from there. In Nanyuki we allow British soldiers to train in Kenya. We allow CIA/MOSSAD/M16 to operate in Kenya and share intelligence on international terror. That is how we arrested Nigeria KANU and shipped him back home. We spend more than a billion dollars annually on defence budget - and total security budget of nearly 3b dollars. Your military budget is 200M dollars How do you hope to defend Ghana? We got troops in Somalia fighting international terror - and we are on of the world top UN contributor of peace keeping troops.

Just40:
The French military themselves are jihadist just like the US military in your country..

Unfortunately Kenya can't do without them else Al shabab will over run your country

What freedom when you cannot handle jihadist? You need the french back ASAP otherwise Islamic Jihadist will drive you to the altantic.

Sorry kiddo... Our days of coups are our. A coup in Burkina Faso does not stop business from going on..

The Malians and Burkinabe are seeking their freedom from all French influence..

If Kenyans were sensible like them, you'll kick out the foreign control kleptomaniac

Burkina faso that just got a coup - joining now 5 countries in West and Central Africa. Once the Malian kicked out the French soldiers - I knew the West African cowards will not survive.

Watch out for a coup in Ghana and Nigeria -

Tema LNG making bigger moves to capture the West African Gas market


Ecowgas -- an affiliate of the Tema LNG Terminal Company (TLTC) that owns the soon-to-be-commissioned LNG import facility in Ghana -- had already won exclusive rights to build and operate storage and regasification facilities in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

The award of the Burkina Faso contract is based on Ecowgas utilizing the Tema LNG terminal in Ghana, which will act as a storage hub for LNG in the region.

You've spelled it very clearly for that dunderhead. There is nothing impressive about EkoCity except it's renders of a future Dubai.

jl115:
as I said nothing about Eko Atlantic makes it more impressive than even waterfall city.... Not to mention other bigger developments in SA.... Also there ain't anything about airports being built in Eko Atlantic either.... You making up random things doesn't change that.......if you think a simple canal is the be all end all of all modern transportation infrastructure then I have some seriously bad news for you my laaitjie.... They have existed even before roads!! Canals are literally less developed than a simple road..... And yes Waterfall city already has metro rail, gautrain and brt services....

You build capacity by executing small projects well - and progressing. There are kenya contractors doing small raods. Chinese started from there - worked on delivering on time, on cost and on quality. You cannot climb the tree from the top like the shoddy Nigeria contractor who took 5yrs to do 4kms road - and in the end they damaged it's own reputation and entire Nigeria contractor reputation in Kenya road construction.

obaaderemi:
So how can you build your own capacity if you keep giving all the major contracts to foreigners?

You little Indians are always so gungho about anything foreign be it Indian, Chinese, white or even Nigerian. No wonder you gave a major road project in Nairobi to a Nigerian company.
