Why would they? This is for your own good? your own planning. You lie..you get exposed..by poverty for example..nobody stopped the communist from faking numbers. The deaths from famine and poverty exposed them. Closer to you...Ghana.
Hahahaha you want to see what a cooked economy is..okay fine grab a sit and sit your ass down let me enlighten you..you don't need a B.Sc heck even a High school certificate to know that your economy is cooked...if your son is lucky enough to escape the circle of dumb-ness that runs in your family he too will know his 500,00kmsq of resourceless land is a fraud...
Let's see..you have a country that supposedly grew above 5.5% last year with a GDP supposedly towering $100bn(about Ksh100trillion using your last year currency in the foreign exchange market) suffered the following..

Extremely high unemployment rate which rose tremendously last year
Constant massive monthly layoff of workers
Shrinking income and disposable income
Sharp decline in the real estate sector
Poverty skyrocketed to 94% of your 53m pop
Middle class shrunk and sinked like the Titanic ship hence why mall investors are crying to the banks..
Empty houses,empty mall...demand for this luxury commodities drop like oil prices..
Your external reserve nearly depleted.....


This is just to mention a few ..wake up rvp ..Even if it is to lead a coop and shoot the idiot Kenyatta off his seat then do it.

Angola GDP in 2018 was 105B. 2019 they had serious currency devaluation. Do the maths and talk to WB. Angola is small Nigeria - Nigeria the tears are coming.
I am not here to test you on anything arithmetic or numerics..you suck at it...common multiplicstion that a kindergarten will soar with flying colours you flunked laggardly right before our very eyes....WB did the calculations and said Angola has never in the history of mankind be surpassed by the kikuyu republic of kenya grin..
Tell me when will Kenya achieve this glorious dream of surpassing tiny Angola with her tiny pop of 28m pop....it's a shame on Kenya part..

Kenya overtook Angola in 2019. Kenya had 95B economy. Now as we speak today - even Ghana has overtaken Angola - add Tanzania and Ethiopia - and soon pretty much everyone. Angola is back to where it came from. Oil without building a diversified economy is like snorting cocaine. You get a big high..and a devastating drop/
Dude I want to see all this from WB before I believe it...I. am Not here to entertain skyscrapercity gossip ..
WB report from last month labels you a primitive liar..you can continue licking our butts whilst I mock you Fromm here...so hungry to rule yet tiny Angola with her 28m pop sits on your laggard skull..deal with that or unseat Kenyatta and change that yourself grin it's your choice grin

Of course I know more. You cannot have ports dealing with 1.8M TEUS a year and claim to be anything but a small economy. Your data is cooked. COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKEd. Which is why poverty is so endemic and you're the world leader.

You can cook local data - but you cannot cook international data.
What is all this rvp..I say you are losing it..
Take a break from this thread..it has affected your mental health...
In the meantime you continue trailing behind Nigeria,SA,Angola asses like the lapdog you are...no need to be in a hurry cos Ethiopia will soon steal your position and unseat Angola but not the dying Kenya with her cooked stat..

Angola is probably out of Africa top 10. It's like Nigeria. Oil. Nothing more. As we speak Nigeria economy might be below 300. South Africa economy was down to 270B last month. Angola down to 50B. We have had Libya before collapsing on us and Sudan too.

Nigeria if it doesn't cook it's stats is not even 200B worth - it's maybe 150-180B.
Dude talk is cheap.. whether Angola uys like Yemen or Syria world bank still calls you a freaking liar..they said never in history has Kenya ever surpassed Angola..it has never happen...swallow that bitter pile and go lie to your kibera educated populace grin

my fellow Nigeria and Ghanaian this hibiscus flower is same as sobo in Nigeria and sobolo in Ghana.

Hope rises for Enugu coal mines a geometric power is set to develop a coal plant...

In 1909, coal was discovered in Enugu, Nigeria. The Ogbete drift mine opened six years later. The Ogbete mine's operations and others in the country were merged into a new corporation in 1950: The Nigerian Coal Corporation. The NCC was tasked with exploiting coal resources, and held a monopoly on coal and coke mining, production, and sales until 1999.

In 2002, work stopped at NCC-operated mines, and till date the coal industry has been lying idle.



But the good news is, Geometric Power is currently working on the development of 1000MW Coal fired Power Plant, (500MW in the first phase expandable to 1000MW in the second phase), in Nigeria. According to the company, the inspiration for this project is based on Geometric Power’s founding philosophy of developing power projects which will result in immediate commercial advancement and development of the host community while making economic sense for the investors.

With a generation type mix of 70% Gas and 30% Hydro, Nigeria is mainly dependent on gas for power supply. With the underdevelopment of gas infrastructure for domestic use, gas supply is even more precarious. The country now has more installed generation capacity than can be adequately supported by available gas. Secondly though the hydro is a renewable source of energy and in fact the cheapest source, it is seasonal and the country cannot be said to be hugely endowed with hydro potentials. A situation where it is constantly used as a peaking source whenever the gas plants are down, perennially places the country in short supply even when the gas stations are up during seasons of low water levels.



Coal as fuel for the proposed power plant provides a triple edge advantage; it provides the needed diversification, cheaper overall electricity and its abundance locally effectively mitigates the fuel supply risk factor that has bedevilled gas as a source of fuel for power plants in the country.

This project is envisaged to supply power to the national grid and all classes of consumers within the country. It will also help diversify fuel source for power development for both Geometric Power and Nigeria at large.

The construction of a coal power plant provides multiple benefits to the nation, especially the people of the State where the plant will be located. A key benefit is that it provides immediate employment opportunities (for both skilled and unskilled labour) as well as infrastructural development in the area. Given the integrated nature of the project, it is expected to attract an influx of allied businesses that support both the coal mining and power plant operations. Thus, the most significant benefit when the project is commissioned will be a major economic transformation of the area.

Nigeria sits comfortably on billions of tons of coal. Yet businesses die for lack of power which can be generated from coal.

Coal production started in Nigeria in 1902 and it was the main energy source for the country until 1960. Enquiries shows that coal is in about 19 states in Nigeria. Expert put the coal deposit at about 2.8 billion metric tons. A study by Behre Dolbear & Company (USA) Inc shows that the Anambra Coal Basin is of seven coal mining districts; three of the basins have been explored to an appreciable level, and they are the Kogi, Benue and Enugu Coal Districts and they further have two or more coal resource areas each.

The coal deposit in Enugu was used to power the Oji River Power Station. The power station served industries, such as the Premier Cashew Industry in Oghe, the P&T Corporation, the Nigerian Railway Corporation, Niger Gas and Niger Steel.

A visit to Iva Valley, Oji River Power Station, Onyeama Mine, Amansiodo Coal Field, Ezinmo Coal Field and Inyi Coal Field revealed that they have all been abandoned with dilapidated buildings as reminders of the mines in the coal city.

Some industrialists in the country have resulted into importation of coal from South Africa to power their factories, for example, Dangote Cement Plc, which had placed an initial order of 30,000 tonnes of the commodity from the continent’s second largest economy.



Experts also said that coal power plant can supply Nigeria with not less than 4000 megawatts of electricity yearly for the next 20 years, if harnesed.

If geometric power will keep to their promise and establish this coal fired power plant, it will be of immense benefits to Enugu state economy and Nigeria at large. This will also be a dream come true, for communities who have be waiting for when their abundant coal fields will be exploited.
