Funny enough, internet traffic out of Accra is almost 2 times that of Kenya... Which shows that, internet is a luxury in Kenya but not in Ghana...

Facts are stubborn

And guess what, you guys claim you have 53 million internet users.... i wonder why your leaders keep lying to you...
It means that, even a day old baby in Kenya is using internet

Ghana has 15 or 17 million internet users and their internet traffic alone is almost twice that of Kenya 53 million users.
This speaks volume

Kenya real estate has recovered - and cement production/consumption this year should hit 8m. There was a slump btw 2016 to 2019 as the interest capping dried lending to the sector.

Already 2021 looks better than 2020 which defied covid to grow by big margin

Data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics show consumption of cement stood at 3.35 million tonnes in January to May, compared to 2.64 million tonnes in the corresponding period last year.

My beautiful county of kericho

Kenya pursue 100 percent primary to secondary transition - as gov hunts for learners in slums to go to secondary. Most counties are above 95 percent...

You do realize cladding is not over and paint work hasn't began? Reserve your comments until your hear that GTC is opened. It still a freaking construction site.

Ignoring the rest of your aimless drivel,i’de say i don’t see the difference between the render and reality.both looks hideously completed. Shove that empty excuse up ur ass.

Nairobi need apartment right near the CBD - tall apartments like this would be ideal for people who work in CBD - including students. So the location here is big winner.

Shma2020:
Precisely. I will come with the other 4 30+ soon.

Yes for that price - it a good deal - it very affordable - and would find people to rent it - to avoid nairobi traffic jam.

Shma2020:
This project is massive. Edermand are not joking.

River estate? Yes poor Samrobo; it back on construction

Shma2020:
Nairobi is currently bulding 12 34+fls skyscrapers. We're in construction boom just like in 2018.

Simple - Cameroon itself identifies as Central Africa country - are not part of ECOWAS - but part of - Economic Community of Central African States. Yes but the southern tip that was part of Biafra is definitely heavily influenced by Nigeria. Just like Eastern DRC has some East Africa influence.

vankelvin:
- Some People claim it's a West African country sake if it's geographical location?
so what of Chad? are they not sharing borders with West African Countries(Niger and Nigeria)?

-Others also claim that tribes on Nigeria-Cameroon borders have a lot in Common but then the question is
*is Cameroon the only country having such issue*? is it perculiar to them only?
The answer is NO
Many countries including Ghana have Tribes and towns on our borders. In some instances, half of the settlers on the borders live in Ghana and the other half are in our neighboring countries but at the end of the day those in Ghana identify themselves as Ghanaians whereas those living on the other half also identify themselves as Togolese, Burkinabe or Ivorian depending on which side they live.

Out of the 6 countries sharing common borders with Cameroon it's only one country (Nigeria) that is a West African Country so why do you think Cameroon shares a lot in common with West Africa than Central Africa?

Anyway, in the records of AU Cameroon is a Central African country so let's not argue on this.. Even Camerooneans know they are Central Africans not West Africans

I know enough to know francophone cameroun have more in common with central africa than Nigeria. Of course the southern part is closer to Igbos. I have seen the same here in Europe. English speaking cameroonians are closer to Nigeria. Francophone are closer to Congolese.

theInterpreter:
you're getting it totally wrong
You know nothing about the ethnic groups in that area

Just keep up with arguing fake stats

Lol
Biafra and Ambazonia in one country?
That's Somalia on steroids

Maybe English speaking south-western Cameroon - that is mini Nigeria/Biafra- otherwise the rest of francophone cameroon are close to central africa's two Congos and Gabons - central africa - and the likes.

Biafra and that southern tip of Cameroon should be combined and made independent country.

theInterpreter:
it should actually be called a west African country
It has more ties with the west that the central African countries

Just like Mauritania should be called a north African country

Kenya transitioned to digital tv - totally - almost 10yrs ago.

AfriqueDuZuid:
DSTV 10 million subscribers
Open view 3m subscribers
Starsat +- 1 million subscribers
Netflix, Hulu, showmax, Disney +, viu, evod, etc also in millions

An average family of 4 in SA, basically majority on cable TV or streaming.

Analogue is being phased out in most areas

How many are Nigerian-diaspora kids and how many are kids born and bred in Nigeria. My guess is as good as your.

You're entitled to your opinion but if we examine facts; you will lose as always

obaaderemi:
Kenya is not making tremendous progress unless tremendous progress has another meaning.

Kenya's debt burden keeps getting heavier. Corruption is getting worse and the inequality is getting worse as well, with a third of budget getting stolen routinely.

The economy just stubbornly remains small in spite of all the padding with fake figures.
Ethnic politics is still rife and your agriculture is still at the mercy of nature such as locusts and drought.

Kenya needs to do more. You need to export more as well to help your foreign exchange reserve. Exporting tea and coffee and relying on remittances can not help you. I wish your country well anyway.

You only exit recession after posting two consecutive quarterly growth. So maybe in Q1 of 2021 did Nigeria emerge from recession.

obaaderemi:
Eranko.

I don't know why you are so obstinate like a donkey.

That is some progress...the statistics he churns do not make much sense.

theenchanter:
just in case u don't know, yemi kale was replaced 2days ago after his tenure ended this month.

How did it get out recession in COVID 2020 Nearly all countries recessed last year. The growth is quarterly comparison. If I am not wrong Nigeria regress by -5 percent - for it to reach 2019 level (recession year still) - it has to grow 5 percent plus.

obaaderemi:
Nigeria exited recession since last year, so any growth now is positive growth.

Kenya is making tremendous progress but I am one persons who has admitted to it's graft and tribal politics - and even debt problem - is long recognized by kenyans - and is being fixed - as most of borrowing now is re-financing -not leveraging.

What you're engaged in is comparing kenya with dysfunctional country like Nigeria and kenya is laughable exercise gurantee to lead to premium teas. it's day and night.

One is progressively moving forward - one is retrogressing every day into state of total chaos and dysfunction.

Kenya I have told you was hopeless case until 2005. Kenya did not just get where it is with cheap loans or bla de bla nonsense - it go there by confronting it demons and reforming the country.

Just like Rwanda is doing. It just wont happen. Nigeria need to have very honest conservation. The country and Somalia are very similar in many parameters. Part of that honest conservation is firing Yemi Kale and doing proper honest statistics.

Part of it is maybe even splitting the country - but unless something is done urgently - Nigeria is already in Somalia type of state. Dont lose hope - Rwanda started from worse any country has started from recently - and in a generation Kagame has fixed it.

obaaderemi:
Nonsense. Shey I no talk am?
I also used to think Kenya was doing well until threads like this started to expose the country. I was shocked to see the inequality in Nairobi for example, where millions live in slums and millions more starve.
I was shocked by the crass corruption.
I was shocked by the fact that Indians and other settlers own the best of things in Kenya.
Who wouldn't be shocked by those pictures of starving Kenyans, while the corrupt government keep borrowing and borrowing?

But when we point out Kenya's backwardness, you get angry. How can people be starving and live in slums that keep growing like Kibera and others, with such huge debts. We don't hate kenya, we want the best for Kenya but stop gloating about Nigeria's problems.

If Nigeria was to genuinely succeed many people would be very proud; myself included. In fact until I came to this forum; in 2014 and around when Nigeria was growing at 10 percent; and I had no idea how messed that it was; I was very proud of Nigeria; Until I stumbled on this forum on Nairobi City thread..and I was suprised by how NIgerians were suprised by how Nairobi looked developed. Obviously we have had years here to see just how hopeless the country really is.

I am personally very proud of africa countries making real progress like Rwanda, Botswana, and such. I use to think Ghana was in that list - but nah - it's a little Zambia - a cross breed of Zambia and Nigeria.

I believe most kenyans want nothing but a progressive Africa.

obaaderemi:
Some people will be heartbroken by this news.

Obaboon, why would anybody lose their sanity over Zoogeria? Are you crazy or what? Your country for all practical reason is a FAILED DYSFUNCTIONAL STATE.

obaaderemi:
He has lost his peace and sanity. He's become completely delirious.
Ha! Please, brothers- take it easy on the donkey.

Kenyan take on Nigeria mess - at least the level of debate is way higher than here.

Chinua Achebe once said that, "the ambition of trying to pull Nigeria together is a huge, huge job. In fact, every day that Nigeria stays together is a miracle".​

Anyway, let us start with the demographic nightmare currently confronting this country. Here are some comparative figures (for context) that help you comprehend the nightmare ahead.

Population in 1980

Germany: 76 million
Nigeria: 73 million

Population in 2020

Germany: 83 million
Nigeria: 206 million

Projected population in 2050

Nigeria: 401 million in 2050
Germany: 92 million

Upon digging further, you will notice that it is bonobos in Northern Nigeria that are dragging the rest of the country down. First, is a toxic mixture of radical Islam and illiteracy. Worth noting is that 87% of Nigerian illiteracy is in the North, besides, the lucky children in Northern Nigeria who do manage to go to school spend 10-15 years of their life studying Islam.. Ujinga mtupu.

Yaani the young nigglets who can read and write only do so for the purposes of reciting the Koran like a bunch of robots. Worryingly, these young religious zealots are already demonstrating their fanaticism in very violent ways. It's not uncommon for students to kill their non-Muslim teachers for stupid shit like blasphemy or desecrating the Koran. It's like the situation in Northern Kenya on steroids.

Couple all that bonoboism with the abnormal high birth rate of Northerners. In Katsina state, Kano, and Kaduna, the average woman has an average of 7.1 children while in the southern states like Lagos it's as low as 3.0 children.

As a consequence, the North is experiencing unprecedented desertification due to overgrazing - most of the Northerners are pastoralists, meaning that Nigeria might be the only place on earth where there are more people in the desert/arid areas than in the greener fertile regions. :oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops:.

Sasa wadau jiulizeni how Nigeria will be like in 50 years. High population of under educated bonobos, religious fanatics who disdain modern education, dwindling natural resources like water and grazing land and endemic corruption. It will be Haiti on steroids.

You log off quietly. Not everyone is in your timezone. or working 8-5am. You do not need permission to log on or log off.

obaaderemi:
You may continue arguing with yourself, unlike you I have important things to attend to in the morning.

One would think you've done anything praiseworthy with all the oil. It has been more of a curse. You'd have faired better with Palm Oil.

obaaderemi:
Apart from oil royalties, oil production in Nigeria is still taxed. You are just embarrassing Kenya's poor level of education here.

That is just Corporate Income Tax at a higher rate for oil companies - otherwise, you do not tax oil or minerals - because your gov owns all the oil - therefore you lease it out - and companies pay royalties - which more a lease than a tax.

More free lessons for the day

A royalty is a payment made by one party to another that owns a particular asset, for the right to ongoing use of that asset. Royalties are typically agreed upon as a percentage of gross or net revenues derived from the use of an asset or a fixed price per unit sold of an item of such, but there are also other modes and metrics of compensation.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] A royalty interest is the right to collect a stream of future royalty payments.[8]

obaaderemi:
There's something called the Petroleum Profit tax in Nigeria. You never learn. The petroleum industry is like other industries. It brings in taxes as well.

Which oil is taxed. Are you confusing oil or mineral royalties with taxes?
The downstream or the upstream?
Do we have to break down everything for you?
Most of the oil revenue is royalties - meaning you lease out your natural resources.
Of course, oil companies would still pay corporate taxes on their profit.

obaaderemi:
And you keep shooting your own foot in the process.
Oil sales are also taxed, you donkey.

I have to spend half the time explaining stuff to you thanks to the poor education you got from underfunded education in Nigeria.
Taxes - PAYE, VAT, Custom
Non-Tax revenue - Oil and related - A-I-D
They are all fruits - but compare apples with apples - and oranges with orange.
This is indeed very annoying - what do you learn in school in West Africa?

obaaderemi:
According to you Kenya total tax is $17bn, while it is $22bn for Nigeria(according to you again).
Nigeria's total tax is still higher than yours making nonsense of your claims that Kenya collects more taxes than Nigeria.

I am beyond infantile puerile rants of school kids.
I am interested in facts and data.
Total taxes are not total revenues.
Kenya Total Ordinary Taxes are 17B.
Kenya Total Revenues are approaching 22B.
That is why Kenya can spin a 36B dollars budget.
With a total expenditure of 32B I think

obaaderemi:
You are still pained by this revenue thingy? Why are you bringing it back? I thought we ended it already.

Nigeria total revenue is inclusive of oil royalties and the rest. You can't remove those.
And you brought a chart which showed Kenya's total revenue to be $17bn not $22bn.

Do you want me to post it again? Go and rest your overheating brains. It's past 1 am in Kenya.

Meanwhile the Zoogeria is on his way to Zoomalia

Both banditry & terrorism in Nigeria have reached a new level with the attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy & killing two officers while abductimg another. They are getting more confident and bold because of incapacity of the State to respond. No where is safe in Nigeria today.

School yard kind of Lame diversionary tactics cannot explain away Nigeria-cooked GDP that collects less revenue than Kenya.

If you remove oil and related royalties - fact remains your total taxes are about 12B at the federal level - and about 2B dollars for all -

Way below kenya's 22B dollars.

obaaderemi:
I knew you were stupid from the very beginning, but I never knew you could become completely wasted and worthless like this.

Just read what you posted and see how incoherent and frustrated you appeared.

Mr Standard Vat rate, I will advise you to go attend to your mental health.

There's no world wide standard for vat rates. Even if you take the average like I have shown you with example earlier, it's still not 15%.

And I never claimed you are overtaxed because of your 15% vat rate. There are other taxes besides vat. Now, go and rest your overheating brains.

Verbosity. They should have taught you how to summarize and elucidate your point succinctly like I did. The most important context that you missed was Obaboon allegation that Kenya tax payers were overtaxed due to 16 percent VAT. My retort was simple...kenya was actually paying 16 percent which would pass as the standard VAT worldwide - which is around 15 percent.

This level of obtuseness is shocking. Would never happen in Kenyan forum.

theenchanter:
context, idiot..... Rvp's idiocy is really contagious.

Even though we're talking Economics before Rvp20182 reverted to English language to save face .In Economics, "standard" and "average" aren't the same, was never and will never be the same.

Now, in English Language which u & ur tin god are using as a saving grace.

some synonyms can't be used in place of another in some sentences because they aren't 100% the same, and if used, they'll change the context of the content, those types of synonyms are called PLESIONYMS ..... That's why ur dictionary said "used or accepted" as emboldened.

Another example of plesionym is "long" and "extended", as u can see, they have near-same meaning but can never be interchanged in some cases, if u do, u'll definitely change the context of ur sentence.....

Same with "standard" and "average", they only have near-meaning but are definitely not the same meaning, though may be used in some context..... And in the discussion that leads to this English class, "Standard" and "Average" can't be interchanged.
