@shma you said Nigerians are poor,is Kenya rich.pls and pls no kenyan can lecture us on poverty.we have nothing to learn from you.if there is anything you should be learning from us. Despite our woes an average Nigeria will forever be richer than a average Kenya.this is a wicked facts you gon’ have to deal with slumpig.

rvp2018:
English comprehension. They denied a report of full merger. KQ and SAA formed a partnership - a very common thing in airlines. Previously KQ had partnership with KLM and Air France.

Now full merger? Who will be acquiring who? Definitely as we speak it
1) ET
2) KQ
3) SAA - belly up and trying to crawl - they need KQ

Let me put it in succinct terms,they rejected KQ cause it’s a failure and no one,I repeat no one likes associating with failure except you are a fool.

rvp2018:
In a single year we invested 1 billion dollars in Ethiopia. We are again - 2nd to South Africa - in investing. Now we are putting our money in DRC.

For starters quit this cheap antics of shifting goal post.we are talking about fdi not some illusory investment in Ethiopia.

Second we are 2nd in investing in Africa not Kenya,you are a small fry and probably have Maghreb nation to compete with after us.we are all over the African market from tech to banking to real estate,just to mention a few. This is a story for another day so stick to the subject which is my first paragraph.

rvp2018:
How can they reject a airline that flies to 50 destinations - when they are starting from the scratch.

South African Airways announced last month that it had set a date (September 23rd) to resume operations. True to its word, SAA will relaunch today after a year of inactivity and almost 18 months without a commercial flight.

The carrier will initially offer flights from Johannesburg to Cape Town, Accra, Kinshasa, Harare, Lusaka and Maputo.

You tell me,I am just stating what is out there on the net.

Shma:
Aaah. My guy, do you need an analysis on this?

Look at united Arab nation for instance, see how they have turned their country with oil.

You have huge figures with nothing on the ground; Your cities are filthy, your people are poor, your country is messed up - Boko haram is wreaking havoc in your country.

Let me play your game like I did with the Kenya-Morocco thingy that shut you up for good.


You claim to be resourceless,well that cool.what happened to you 6 decades after independence.look at Japan,zero mineral,but they pulled themselves by the bootstrap and got to where they are today.

What of Singapore? They gained independence about thesame time as you zoo hit look where they are today with zero mineral and look where you zoo is.

I hope you provide your answers intelligently and not run around in olodo circles.

rvp2018:
SA is a failure...we are still flying. We signed a strategic partnership. Not a merger. Code sharing and all that.

But they rejected you like a plague,must be shameful and embarrassing. Just imagining how you took your ass back to Kenya empty handed.

rvp2018:
600M dollars is too small for Nigeria.

But bigger than your total fdi in that year.

Mind you tgat fir a single project ,so yeah go figure.

rvp2018:
It was already done - and the result - kenya is africa largest non-mineral economy - a well diversified liberalized economy that has grown non stop since 2003 - and will grow at same pace if not more for more years. It's the trick you will not get.

Gdp and fdi are the thesame thing? Mumu

rvp2018:
Dream on. In Subsahara Africa - KQ is now 2nd to Ethiopia - after SA went belly up.
KQ's subsidiaries like Precision Air or JamboJet - beat your useless airline.
Airline business is not owning jets - you can lease them - it's the entire operation that need to work like a clockwork
Something you lazy dull Tanzanians CANNOT HACK

Stop making noise.you went to SA fir a merger and they rejected you like diseased person. No one want to associated with failure.

Kazikazi:
Uhuru went to SA seeking a merger with SAA. But unfortunately, the SAA realized you own only 3 old planes. Now SA dont want a merger with KQ.How could someone with 50 planes merge with a poor man of only 3 planes? Who would've accepted that bullshit?

What Kenya was doing was madness. You were just looking for someone to drown with since you can't swim,you decided to hold on the feet of someone hoping you will survive the imminent death from tough waters which are ruled by big boys ( air TZ,Rwandair,Ethiopians, etc)

Lol I agree with you in this.it’s funny he is trying to denying seeing its was his govt that went to DA with the proposal,begging desperately for a merger but they were rebuffed and rejected shamefully.

GeneralDae:
@ the bolded. Why not speak of what you know? Do you know how many Nigerians possess oil wells? How can you say it makes mostly foreigners rich? Are you speaking of Shell, Chevron, and Total?
I agree though that more investments aside resources have to be made but even if we compare non resource investments, do you think Kenya comes close to any of these top ten countries on the list? aside probably Algeria?

They can’t ,he is a noise maker. Our non -oil fdi is still bigger than Kenya’s fdi.

just few of the numerous Highways in Abuja ( reason why Abuja is the most planned city in Africa)

No city in Kenya will ever get to the level of development of Abuja

Murtala Mohammed Express | Katampe Extension Interchange, one of the best in Africa

It’s appear Abuja has more serious highway in length,quality and quantity than Kenya as a nation. I mean look at this.

Shma:
This is what we call development. Lagos should learn.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAP4wvkLnVU

Mumu.Lagos has numerous flyovers .we are on to big stuff now like modern light rail like those in developed world and few advanced African cities(Morocco,Algeria and the likes),new cities just to mention a few.

rvp2018:
We are attracting the right FDI - you're poster child of what is now called Nigeria Oil curse. The FDI you're attracting is more harmful than receiving nothing.

Africa needs to attract more non-resource based FDI: FDI in Africa is concentrated in
natural resource (Asiedu et al., 2015b). Furthermore, natural resources have a direct and indirect
effect on FDI. Specifically, there is an extensive literature that shows that natural resources have
an adverse effect on economic growth (i.e., the natural resource curse literature).

You are a fool. This happened in 2020 amidst COVID.now tell me did Kenya get up to $600m fdi in the year 2020.And pls bear in mind that this is just for a single project,they are other projects/sector that guzzled investment as well.

I repeat our non-oil fdi is bigger than your entire annual fdi,Facts.


Managing Director of African Industries Group of Companies, Mr. Alok Gupta, Monday, said the company’s $600 million Integrated Steel Plant will be Nigeria’s biggest non-oil foreign direct investment, FDI.

rvp2018:
Nairobi is well planned city - something slumpolis of WAn can only dream of

No one is interested in your maps.if I want to see your hodgepodge I head over to YouTube to view the mess not maps.

rvp2018:
Mineral resources FDI. Kenya is key source of FDI in Africa. After South Africa - we are next who sent investment to Africa.

Our non-oil did in 2020 is bigger than your fdi in 2020. Go figure idiot.

Kazikazi:
We have many stuff on ground. Too many to count.
In reality,what TZ has,naija should have 9 times of that since your GDP is almost 9 times

Okay but pls have it at the back of your mind that TZ is a small fry.Don’t waste my time here.

Lmao,rejection can be painful

Nice one from Senegal, West Africans are really doing well when it comes to infrastructural development

I must confess,Senegal actually outdid themselves here.great one coming out from there.

Are we now safe to say, our rail system would be the longest elevated systems in Africa , since the system is 37km long , elevated and even longer than Nairobi highway

It will have eight train stations from Agbado to Oyingbo, to be fully operational in the last quarter of the Year 2022.

Red Line was to raise mass transportation capacity in the state by complementing the Blue Line that extends from Okokomaiko to Marina, and which is at 78 per cent completion at present, vowed to ensure that the Blue Line and the Red Line were completed to the memory of the late Governor Lateef Kayode Jakande.

“The State’s Strategic Transport Master Plan, which encompasses a number of projects that are germane to achieving our vision for a Greater Lagos, is founded on imperatives that seek to increase transport choices for all users and make the transit system integrated, attractive, convenient, affordable and accessible,” he said.

It will have six overpasses at strategic level crossing points along the rail corridor to facilitate smooth operations of the Red Line and eliminate interactions between the rail system, vehicular and pedestrian traffic, adding that the overpasses would provide grade-separated crossings that would enhance safety for the rail system and road users.

“The unique characteristics of the Red Line is its integration with the Ikeja Bus Terminal, Oshodi- Abule Egba Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lane, the future Orange Line, which goes from Ikeja to Agbowa, and the General Aviation Terminal One of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport through a skywalk.

“Another unique feature of the Red Line is that all the stations have elevated concourses with either at grade island or side platforms for easy boarding and alighting of passengers. The Red Line also integrates with our Bus Terminals at Oyingbo, Yaba, Oshodi, Ikeja and Iju, giving modal options to our people in their daily commute, either for business or leisure

Yes our light rail will be the most elevated and longest on the continent but to me it’s just a light,only timid Kenyans would have carried that tag on their head and tried to make it more relevant just like they did with the elevated expressway flyover thingy

rvp2018:
Alaro is by Tatu city - and most of stuff happening there are from kenyan companies. Konza has been slow - no doubt - because it still a gov project - but it's unique city - a technopolis - not just any other city.

A dead city you mean

Kazikazi:
In GDP numbers yes,naija is way above TZ.
Naija has 500+b while TZ has 65b .Almost 1 ninth.

But on ground? Can naija have 9 times of what TZ has?

Kpekelekpele,arugbo je gbese
Lol what does tz have?

theenchanter:
it's called talent city. I think it's inside lekki free trade zone.

Talent city was announced just a week after d announcement of ocean city, Lagos.

Well that’s just great.I believe it will succeed since it will be tied to the economic benefits of that axis.

68816419:
Boss, konza can never be completed, Konza were announced on June 10, 2008, as part of Vision 2030 and nothing tangible has been recorded, Nigeria's recently embarked new city tagged "Alaro city" has more infrastructures and building than Konza and Tatu cities combined
here is an extract from one Kenya's best writer and reporter

1 JUNE 2021 • NAIROBI, KENYA
". On either side of the road, a cacophony of ranches, mile after mile. Most of these are white-owned or formerly white-owned, the hinterland of an enduring colonial presence. Cows graze forlornly in the distance. I miss the turn to Konza, as there is nothing to suggest a city here. Only once I’ve driven past it do I recognize the complex where the Konza Technopolis Development Authority (KoTDA) is located. It is the only building for kilometers around taller than one story .

At the main gate, there are security measures: a look into the car, a mysterious mirror thrust aggressively underneath its chassis, a demand for identification, and the temperature checks and dabs of sanitizer that have become a permanent part of security ritual. Then I drive up to the KoTDA headquarters. All around are workers in hard hats, trucks filled with sand, excavators, and the other normal detritus of construction sites. This is the headquarters of the so-called Silicon Savannah By the looks of the Konza Technopolis Development Authority, there’s little to indicate that 13 years have gone by since the launch of what was first trumpeted by the Kenyan government in 2008 as being the future “best-planned” city in Africa. With promises of mass job creation and investors “trooping in,” Konza City’s
groundbreaking was meant to be a source of national pride and a marker of progress — a sign that Kenya was on the cutting edge of global tech. "

Lol I told them.this is yet another kiajado white owned tea farm. Anyone expecting a city there is just a deluded fool wasting his/her time.

Roan77:
Clown, stay at economics, stick to the troll you are.

Lol I told him.

obaaderemi:
That's how to know a pained individual.

And an olodo one jumping into argument his intellectual capacity can’t accommodate.

Shma:
Kenya is a step ahead of you. We're already doing tech city - 90% of horizontal infrastructure, done.

Konza (Konza Technopolis ) is a key flagship project of Kenya’s Vision 2030 economic development portfolio. Konza will be a world-class city, powered by a thriving information, communications and technology (ICT) sector, superior reliable infrastructure and business friendly governance systems..

Don’t lie to that new guy.this is a dead zoo project. When next you want to sell this lie Atleast try banning me. Thanks

rvp2018:
any fool investing in Nigeria will soon lose their shirt.. nothing works there ..not even electricity or security or internet..soon like MTN n DStv discovered their broke gov will charge your an arm n leg in fake backdated taxes and penalities.You have to be total nuts to invest in Nigeria outside oil and gas

Let’s wait till then.I am sure they are smarter than you and carried out their research before throwing in their money. You are very bitter cos Kenya is loosing out fast.

CSTRR:
The Andela founder plans to create a tech city in Lagos and another Nigerian city, starting this year.

They are still sourcing for funding though they have already bought the lands.

A place to congregate the best African tech talents located in Nigeria to build and create.

Can I get a link or something?

Shma:
Argue till you turn green.

Cornered street urchin.just loud and empty.

Shma:
Most of your thriving companies are subsidiaries. The rest are failing due to test of time.

You don’t even understand a thingy you just said.

Shma:
Dumbo, what are you're talking about is not economics. These are basic information that a grade 2 can google and paste here.

For starters, you should be able to tell the difference between macro & microeconomics and decompound data appropriately. Those are fundamentals of the basic economy, dimwit.

No it is geography.
You are too stupid and olodo to be associated with.so you knew that info yet you said china is developed.Again stay off economics,you just contradicted yourself again. The more you try to impress me,the dumber you sound.
