With all the minerals, you have mined, you should be ashamed of yourselves. I saw in I am marwa - a huge refill landmine - all the gold out of that pit, gone, and you're left poor, and getting poorer. The minerals are not renewable.

Kenya has done "well" without any minerals or natural resources. That is almost unique in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Austine1213:
I'm stating reality of khayelitsha, did you see what soweto looks like from I_Am_Marwa? That's how it looks

Tarred all streets

Yes DRC under Belgians had 2nd best infrastructure after South Africans. South African Boers earned a lot of minerals royalties from jews and built their infrastructure. But now it's pretty much over - they are now left with useless minerals buried deep on the ground. Boers, Jews and British literally found gold and diamond glittering on the surface - like eldorado of south american - that the spanish and portuguese mined and use it to built their countries.

As for Nigeria - and entire west/central africa - the negroid in them need serious exorcism - otherwise with 20 trillion dollars proven deposit of minerals - all they need to get rich is mine it.

DRC- 24 trillion dollars worth of proven minerals - and all you need is to organize yourselves - be peaceful - and mine it. Everything the world need to transition to electric cars - if only they can fix themselves -enough gold, tin, cobalt, copper, name it -

Saddamochieng00:
I don't even know whether I should be dissapointed or mad at these stupid people. How do these four combined have more wealth than Europe and N.America combined yet they are the shittiest countries in the world. Some like Nigeria really need to be recolonised cause I don't even see them going anywhere.

yes very cursed by stupidity and blessed by natural resources.
South Africa - Was the Mecca of minerals - Saudi Arabia of minerals - all minerals now pretty much mined and they are left with open pits - at least they built infrastructure with minerals proceeds.

Nigeria - Oil and 2nd only to DRC on minerals - 20 trillion dollars worth of minerals- but so far - they've earned 1 trillion from Oil - and nothing to show for 1 trillion dollar. You can bet the 19 trillion still underground will go wasted.

DRC - 24 trillion dollars worth of minerals - worse country in every index - nearly everyone has run to urban centers just for safety - huge un-developed country - roads the world worst.

Ghana - Gold mecca - now add Oil - pretty useless - with I guess useless people. Ghanians like to talk BIG - but actually do NOTHING.

Kenya - Zero minerals - African most hardworking and enterprising people - who knows how to get shiet done without showing off.

Saddamochieng00:
Those two shithole are just cursed. Imagine bearing the name Gold Coast or African Giant yet you have nothing to show for it. Not forgetting the unequal zoo downsouth that pride themselves in having Jew overlords. Most of these shit countries actually have nothing on us considering where we have come from and the strides we have made moving forward.

As you religiously repost the same images - Kenya is moving ahead every year - without any OIL or DIAMOND OR GOLD - but through the sweat and brains of it's citizen.

A Potemkin economy - The Economist unveils KaziKazi make-believe sinking country

Quick history

After the cold war ended, much of Africa democratised and opened up. Few countries better embodied the feverish hope of the 1990s than Tanzania. It had suffered grievously in the 1960s and 1970s under its founding leader, Julius Nyerere. A nascent democracy was throttled by one-party rule. An economy with great potential was wrecked by “African socialism”. Some 11m peasants were forced into collective villages, where they went hungry.

In mid 90s - Kenya and South Africa - move in to save the sinking boat.

As state controls were relaxed, investment flowed in. Steady growth more than doubled income per person between 1994 and 2010.4

Now Magufuli is undoing all that.

John Magufuli, who was elected president in 2015, has turned back the clock on democracy by locking up opposition mps and journalists. He has also meddled capriciously in the economy. His government has shaken down firms for cash, arresting their executives and holding them without bail if they do not pay up. It is “almost ransom”,

The mess

Mr Magufuli sent in the army with orders to buy up the crop for 65% more than private traders offered. In the finest socialist traditions he did not pay the farmers for over 18 months. Since then the harvest has slumped by 30%. Farmers are reluctant to plant if they don’t expect to be paid

They forced IMF and WB to report their cooked figures
The imf raised doubts last year when it said there were “serious weaknesses” in the growth data. It pointed out that public-sector wages, lending to the private sector and imports were all falling while tax revenue was growing only weakly. The authors made it clear that the official 6.8% growth figure for 2017 was not credible. Publication of the report was blocked by the Tanzanian authorities. (The Economist has seen a copy.)

The economy is tanking neverthless.

Nonetheless, the concerns raised by the imf did not disappear like their report. Analysis by The Economist using the Tanzanian central bank’s own numbers for the most recent full fiscal year available (2018-19) shows that tax revenue has shrunk in real terms. Discrepancies such as these, says Thorsten Beck of Cass Business School, are “red signals” that gdp may have been overestimated.


IMF cannot do much when you decide to cook Nigeria style.

. “We’re not forensic accountants,” he says. Its latest health check in February has also not been published. The press release that usually accompanies these reports is positive

Magufuli wrecking their economy

Foreign direct investment has almost halved since 2013.
Exports and imports both fell between 2012 and 2018.
Imports of machinery and construction equipment fell between 2015 and 2018, despite claims of booming construction. “

The growth numbers are out of line with almost everything else we are seeing out of Tanzania,” says Justin Sandefur of the Centre for Global Development, a think-tank.

Poverty is increasing - Nigeria style.

Tanzania’s recent growth ought to be evident in ordinary lives. When incomes rise, people buy more beer; yet revenue for Tanzania’s biggest brewer fell in 2018 and 2019. According to door-to-door surveys done in 2012 and 2018, the share of Tanzanians who are extremely poor, 49%, did not change at all over the period. That is almost unheard of. And because Tanzania’s population is growing, the number of extremely poor people has increased by about 4.5m.


Conclusion
Bernard Membe, a former foreign minister who has defected to the opposition, says growth is “exaggerated” and “in fact is less than 3%”. What about Tanzania’s middle-income status? “A very big joke,” says Mr Membe

According to our findings, there are over 2000 hotels in Lagos state alone. One can therefore wonder how many hotels can be found in the whole of the country
In a report by Financial time, Nigeria has the highest number of hotel rooms in Africa as at the year 2016, closely followed by Angola and Egypt who have about 7,560 and 6,660 rooms respectively. This shows that there are many hotels in Nigeria. Also, hotels in Nigeria have been known for their amazing cuisine, from their intercontinental dishes to the local dishes. The local dishes in Nigeria have been described by both foreigners and indigenes as one that is unique because of its spicy nature and its exquisite taste

I think you are confuse - hotel beds under development maybe

We are trying. Post 2012 - we began with devolution - nigeria like states - counties - with governors and all that.

theenchanter:
u should tryna develop many areas of ur country simultaneously. A person like u shouldnt talk slumpolis when its right there in ur backyard.

Nairobi sell itself; You've seen the pictures, the videos and name it.

obaaderemi:
He thinks Nairobi's slumpolis label would somehow miraculously disappear if he denies it hard enough.

Our GDP calculation factor the falls in cement - you can see it construction and real estate sector data - but you know - we have a well diversified economy - so one sector cannot bring us down like Nigeria.

obaaderemi:
You really should stop lying to yourself about your 99bn phantom GDP.
Your GDP can not be growing when things like cement consumption keeps dropping since 2017!!!

It's actually 2000 - easy maths nigga - 47.5m census 2019 population and 0 98-99B nominal GDP - so as of 2019 - we are talking more than 2,000.

Just30:


kenya GDP per capita is 1700 please

The word is projecting. You slumpolis are nothing to be proud of.

theenchanter:
stop potraying ur shortcomings on others.

Exactly. Why move to city if you don't have a job. You'll end up in slums and squalor. You can stay in rural areas, engage in profitable farming, enjoy electricity, internet, water and all the amenities you find in amenities. But if you're in Congo or Nigeria where rural areas are totally neglected, you are better off in Lagos slumpolis than in your village.

Just look at Lagos - 20M city - bursting in it's seams - no jobs, just hustling, and hawking, and prostitution, and crime, no water, no electricity, raw sewage flowing. Kenya cities have issues too - and we need to slow down urbanization until we fix housing.

Nairobi ought to be about twice as big to accommodate the current residence. It's need probably 0.5M housing units.

Saddamochieng00:
This is very true. Why move to Nairobi when you can get all the amenities in your rural area.

Heck there's 4g coverage in every county, 24/7 uninterrupted power, water supply, one of the best road networks in Africa , malls are all over the country....the list goes on.

Kenyan villagers enjoy more benefits than some West African city dwellers. FACTS

popizaino:
And they will always play catch up to Abuja when it comes to BEAUTY

Abuja is only beautiful in the minds of Nigerians

I can tell you for a fact that Nairobi has got nothing in Dakar..every sane mind knows this...just cos they don't make mouse doesn't mean they au t developing...it's probably cos they aren't mediocre and petty over little things...

samorobo:
Rvp.i remember popizaino telling you about Owerri and hotels...you think your stupid Mombasa sex lounges can hold a candle to the quality and taste of hotel owerri has to offer.....you would even see better luxurious hotels that this one I am posting in Owerri with more understand construction... according to their governor Owerri has about 150 hotels and is fast developing spit for supermarket,malls and hotel...the city is driven by this three things..

You sound as knowledge as you high school teacher now acting as your dictator

68816419:
how dare Kenyans comparing Mombasa with Enugu ?

Mombasa is better than Abuja

We are at 100b dollars. South Africa are at 350 (pre covid). 15yrs ago - Kenya GDP was 15B in 2005 - and South Africa was 25B- we have grown 7 times more. Now if we repeat the same magic - we will be - 700B in 2035. About twice as rich as South Africa now.

South Africa I doubt can double their GDP - they are very sick from a terminal disease called the middle class trap.

In 15yrs they have grown from 250 to 350B - and that was not so bad a period for them - now they are very sick - so they be able to do 400-450B in 15yrs....after COVID-19 they will be back to ground zero.

As for kenya - our relentless population control and huge investment in education - is just about to payback - we are I think 5yrs from entering the demographic transition/dividend.

samorobo:
In 15 years time you will be in your Africa level development..nothing near first world...I can get my last finger to that....you need to be brutally told the simple fvcking truth...you are too allergic to hearing things like this becos of your inflated ego...

I have said severally that Nairobi is very very near Joburg. The first time I went to Joburg about 15yrs ago - I don't think I could ever say that. But 15yrs later - I can say Nairobi is 10yrs from Joburg.

samorobo:
You claimed to be a TZ right so I wonder why you are hurting about a convo that has nothing to do with you ..Afterall again it was rvp that brought SA cities in a d made it the topic of discussion...everyone is free to air out their opinion had regards to the topic he created..
