Althetics - almost all the many events
Boxing - we already saw kenya is behind egypt and algeria in All Africa medals.

Let try swimming next.

Balogunodua:
Why not start with yours

Nigeria - sports you're ahead of kenya - Football, Table Tennis, Basketball - let even throw scrabble, chess and other board games
Kenya - the rest of the sports.

Balogunodua:
Their are also many sports in Nigeria...but we are talking about the ones you are good at and have won international recognition with .

Name sports you're better than kenya : and those kenya is better than you. It will end in premier tears.

Balogunodua:
Running is your thing....but in other sports you are inconsequential

Today, many sports are popular in Kenya, played both professionally and as recreational physical activities. The most popular sport in Kenya is football. Sports played in Kenya today include athletics (track & field and other running events), cricket, field hockey, motor sports, Association football, rugby union, volleyball, basketball, swimming and diving, team handball, netball, rounders, baseball, shooting, softball, bicycling, martial arts (boxing, Shotokan karate, Goju Ryu karate, Shorin Ryu karate, kickboxing, judo, Mantis kenPo and taekwondo), Lawn Tennis, Table Tennis, Squash, Badminton, Golf, Canoeing, Chess, Goal Ball, Horse Riding/Equestrianism, Polo, Weightlifting, Wrestling, Archery, Roller Sports, Ice Hockey and Mountain Sports – Kenya. Globally, Kenya is mainly known for its dominance in middle-distance and long-distance races.

Now Nigeria you can count the sports you engage in with single hand.

Balogunodua:
You are must be high on expired weed


List those sport and stop saying rubbish.

Kenya revolutionary Hustler Fund in less than 24hrs has registered 1.15 million people.

This akin to Chilean economic miracle that made it only LATAM country to become developed country aside from Argentina.

The Hustler Fund offers four different products: start-up, micro, SME, and personal loans.
2. Annual interest rate of 8% calculated per day,if you borrow KES500 you pay back KES 501.53 after 14 days - daily interest of 0.012%
3. If not paid within 14 days, you'll be given additional 15 days.

The Hustler Fund has a mandatory savings element. For every loan disbursed, the govt will deduct 5% and place in the borrower's savings account.

This will be split into two:
1. 30% for short-term savings
2. 70 per cent for long-term (pension) savings.

The gov will pay 1shs for every 2 shs saved. So within a year - this fund will be locking lots of billion in pension scheme for everyone - however poor. Few years this pension fund can be used to buy a house or something.

“We are establishing a culture of saving, investment and social security,” Ruto.

Football- Yes remove age cheating - in junior league in football - and they are pretty as average as any african team - in the only sports they have some semblance of functioning federation and league.

gallivant:
Your thing is age cheating in soccer tournaments. That's pretty much it.

Yet you were overjoyed when that women won hurdles gold? The whole of 220m had never won a gold.
Sports has it's role in a country development.
It's not like developing sports come at expense of manufacturing. They are not mutually exclusive.
or Althetics come an expense of football.
If you feel your sports is running or chess - you have more chance of sucess in Kenya than Nigeria - because our sporting industry is more vibrant.

obaaderemi:
We don't need long distance running. It's not our thing. We have different athletics meets across the country.
You have 23m poor people out of a population of 50m and running will not ease their poverty.
You need to improve manufacturing in your country. This can lift them out of poverty.

You have 130M poor people who should be busy running out of poverty.
Kenya has robust althetic program that just didnt happen.
They are running competitions every week...both track and road races.
You now at least have one Lagos Marathon.

obaaderemi:
You have only poverty induced long distance running. The rest are not worth anything.

For motor sports alone - they are so many discipline - from auto-cross to even gp karting - at least 12 in kenya with different leagues from kids to senior.

Apart from Football and basketball what else do you have? You can only dream of the depth of kenya sports. Its definitely second only to south africa.

From motor sports, golf, horse racing, hockey, name it, there are professional sports in kenya with vibrant leagues. Every weekend all sports in kenya have something going on.

That explain why Kenya is Africa sporting giant...the depth and breadth of our sport industry

obaaderemi:
Rest In Peace, you are just stvpid. Our professional sports are bigger than yours in all ramifications. Even athletics. We have a vibrant football league. Our basketball league is far bigger than yours.
Kenya is nothing in boxing. How could you limit yourself to amateurish boxing? Look at South Africa and Nigeria, our amateur boxer transmit to the professional stage and do well. When are we going to see a single Kenyan world heavyweight champion?

Obaboon, when will you post something logical. Almost everyone yet kenya sit at top of sub saharan africa boxing in medals? Kenya has proffesional boxing right in kenya - and few players went to US. South Africa has proffesional body in their country. You dont need to go to US or Europe for everything...like most of you are accostomed to.

220M Nigerians can sustain well paying football, boxing, name it proffesional sports right there in Nigeria.

obaaderemi:
You don't have professional boxers. Almost everyone had good boxing in the 80s. Stick to the long distance running.

Okay you're a head - kenya is 2nd in 7s in Africa.

jl115:
nope we came second in 97 and third in 2018

In 2009 there was no 3rd place playoff.... Hence you didn't win any medal

As predicted kenya inflation eases after peaking
https://www.citizen.digital/business/november-inflation-eases-to-95-marking-first-drop-in-nine-months-n310329

The cost of living as measured by inflation has eased slightly to 9.5 per cent in November from 9.6 per cent in October according to new KNBS data.

The year-over-year change in consumer prices has marked the first decline in nine months since February when inflation fell to 5.1 per cent from 5.4 per cent in January

They go out with some dignity

Just40:
What a drama

Franch just had their equalizer cancelled

Tunisia has beaten France

Old videos. Proffesional boxing bouts should be happening every other week or month if you had developed your boxing industry.

This is what professional boxing looks like

popizaino:
Ivory coast is french best kept secret in the whole of Africa and as such they cannot allow it to deteriorate to the level of DRC. Never! .They are just polar opposite. Besides the president Alhassan ouattara is a great reformer that has been transforming the country ever since he took over from Laurent Gbagbo who ran the country to the ground. I leave you with this link to read further about the country.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Ivory_Coast




Off my head I know the country has also placed a ban on importation of any used car above 5years and i am certain it cut across every form of vehicle. Your video is a bit old,forget when you it was uploaded,the rickety trucks are probably the ones in the country before the ban was placed besides, it is no big deal if they were been used to transport cocoa from the thick tropical vegetation to the city centres.

Yes that only sports they have figured out - at african standards.

gallivant:
I asked them already to stick to football. They can't hack it in physically and mentally challenging disciplines.

I think they dont even have proffesional boxing in Ghana. They have to go abroad.

gallivant:
You fools are just daft. Define professional boxing; you don't seem to have any idea of what you are talking about?

Kenya has had 8yr rule for all cars being imported as second hand since 1990s.
You dont see old cars in kenya roads...rare sight
Now we just banned any car 7 meter long being imported as second hand
Poor Ghana you still importing 30yr old cars.

The Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) in April issued a notice freezing importation of used vehicles more than seven metres in length from July 2022. Trucks with load capacities of 3.5 tonnes and above were also banned. Imports of tractor heads and prime movers not older than three years were allowed access until June 2023 after which only new units were to be allowed into Kenya.

Just40:
There are worse on Kenya roads

Yet the cars I have recently seen in Ivory coast and Nigeria are crazy.
I will check Ghana again

Just40:
Did you just introduced that into your country?

West African countries have been doing it for 60 plus years now

Some of the jalopies being driven in west africa you can only see in Drc Congo.

Every year in Kenya you must take your commercial car to be inspected unless it's a personal car.


For any car to be allowed to operate in the country, it must have an inspection sticker issued by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).

The sticker confirms that a car is fit to operate in the country without endangering the lives of other road users.

Inspection is done in collaboration with the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and supervised by the government through the National Police Service (NPS).

During the exercise, car owners are expected to present their automobiles to inspection centres set by the government

To ascertain if a car is fit to operate in the country, the government confirms the automobile's date of manufacture, steering wheel, condition of tyres, electrical wiring and equipment and lighting system.

Under electrical and wiring, the car's battery is checked, and so are warning lights, headlights, rear lamps, direction indicators and hazard lamps.

During the exercise, the braking system and components are also checked to confirm if a car is fit to operate on Kenyan roads.

Suspension, windscreen glass, seat belts and general condition of the vehicle structure are also inspected during the exercise.

"Defects to be checked for condition of the body shall be body panelling and guard rail, PSV flap type doors and PSV luggage compartments," KEBS stated in their inspection checklist.
"Defects to be checked for doors shall be missing door, hinges, stiff doors and worn out door hinges," the checklist further adds.

However, the conditions vary depending on the car, such as Public Service Vehicles (PSV) and personal cars.

It goes without saying that amateur boxers graduate to professional boxers. The only difference really is they drop the head gear - there is nothing more to it - except receiving punches on the bare head - and risking injury. Everything else is the same.

vaxx:
and yet , with your ameturish explore, you couldn't give africa a single professional boxers ? How dumb is that? Ghana has given the world more than than three professional boxers , this people individual boxing career are bigger than entire east africa population

When you check the common wealth boxing competition which is arguably the most common event for professional boxers , we leads . Of the 57 medals won by Ghana in 16 previous appearances, boxing alone accounts for 32. Just check your brain and see if you can compare .

So 5 for every weight category. Very impressive by West African standards. I dont want to include the women
I think kenya women proffesional boxers are more than that.

Just40:
Ghana has 47 professional boxers


Keep your amateurist

Growing up in kenya - we had boxing competition in every primary schools - we had gloves and the gear. But somewhere along the way we dropped the ball.

gallivant:
Professional or amateur, Ghanains should stick with football.

First of all seeing some of those trucks - in kenya - unless you're driving in the dead of the night - kenya is indeed far ahead. We cannot have such beaten road unworthy cars in any corner of kenya. How will they survive? There is no where police are not in kenya and not effective.

Heck now kenya has disallowed import of any used truck - even if it's 5yr old - now it's brand new trucks and buses.

Every truck, pickup and lorry in kenya MUST have ANNUAL road inspection of worthiness. The police have USSD application - they see your truck - they just send number plate - and they know if you've been inspected or not.

And everywhere - there are weight bridges - some temporary - you cannot exceed weight limits and damage the road.

[quote author=popizaino post=118800444
What's your reason?[/quote]

You have severely limited vocabulary of invectives. You cannot excel in any sport if you don't build the pipeline from school competition to amateur to professional.

You'll be left desperate like Ghana talking about one boxer - like it matters.

vaxx:
Are you an idiot? Who recognised ameturish boxing ?

Today the mention of the Kenya boxing team does not capture the imagination of anyone. Whenever the Kenyan boxing team participates in any tournament, be it the All African games or the commonwealth games, one can expect perhaps a bronze medal or two if Kenya is lucky.

There was a time however when the mention of the Kenya boxing team would send shivers down the spines of other countries and sheer raptures to Kenyan boxing fans and in fact Kenyans in general. The Kenyan boxing team, aka the hit squad was a source of pride.

No moment captured this glorious era more than the 4th All African games of 1987. Keep in mind that in those days, the All Africa games was a premier event to which the entire continent of Africa paid attention. And when Kenya hosted this event in 1987, the entire country was engrossed. Kenya sent 8 boxers into the boxing finals held at the Kenyatta international conference centre. That day the hit squad put on an exhilarating performance of power punching, quick feet, stylish moves and accurate punching that overwhelmed all the opponents. All 8 memebers of the hits squad. won their matches thus netting 8 gold medals as the partisan local crowd went into a near delirium. Even cabinet minister, Robert Ouko, who was in attendance could not hold back his exhilaration as he leaped up and down the dais each time a Kenyan won.

Kenya’s gold medalists on that occasion were:

Light Welterweight David “DK” Kamau Towedros Michiku of Ethiopia
Bantamweight Stephen Mwema, who beat Ndaba Dube of Zimbabwe
Featherweight Patrick “Mont” Waweru who beat Charles Lubulwa of Uganda
Lightweight John Wanjau, who beat Haritora Rapotamanga of Madagscar
Light Flyweight Maurice Maina, who beat Emmanuel Nsubuga of Uganda
Mohammed “Body” Orungi, who beat Martin Nougle of Nigeria
Welterweight Robert Wangila, who beat Sahelu Mekuria of Ethiopia
Superheavyweight Chris Odera who beat Tschibalala Kadima of Zaire.

There is nothing kenya can learn from Nigeria in any sphere of life; that we already concluded. We had very good boxing in 1980s and 1990s - that was unmatched in Africa - we dropped the ball - and we know what we need to do.

obaaderemi:
So how did we win 6 medals in boxing at the Olympics, 3 silver and 3 bronze? You have 1 gold(fluke), 1 silver and 5 bronze medals. You see we are at par with you in amateur boxing, Even though we can't organize cock fights(shouldn't you be ashamed of yourself?)

In professional boxing? Don't let us go there. You are not even a bleep on the radar.

You need to learn from Nigeria and see how your amateur boxers can get into the big international scene. Build the international appeal into it and support your athletes.

Same ghana disease - one player is not equal to country boxing. Kenya Robert Wangila remain only African to win gold in olympic boxing

Show us a sporting pipeline - not a random freak dude - that could emerge from any country

Next you will declare yourselves giant of women hurdling because some freak nigerian girl won gold and broke the record.

obaaderemi:
This is amateur boxing. You like splitting hair.
In professional boxing, Nigeria Trump's you. Dick tiger won more accolades than the whole of Kenya.

Jokes. You only beat kenya in soccer. Nothing more.Boxing records at africa championship and olympic speak for itself

Just40:
We are the best boxing nation on the continent after SA
We are a dominant footballing nation

Kenya hasn't gotten there yet

Developed sporting discipline in your country and maybe you'll get there someday
