TayserMahri: make a point to visit nairobi to see it for yourself. no need to drama
Nonsense..when nairobi decides to turn the corner by developing (not that duplicitous facades from your photographers) then you shall have me visiting there for now I will stick to receive invites from sane countries that are developing fast not slumpolis...
Dlonra: Nigeria is a Very low standard country in the continent. What inferiority complex is making you imagine to be good is actually pathetic. Nigeria can't even Match small countries like Rwanda in road quality let alone afford to feature in list of Countries with the best roads in Africa.
Really YouTube...Anyway I discussed how those biased list are made....you want to impress me and not the cheap talk then show me something that beats the road in that video... Fyi that is an American style of road...if you've been to the US you will see it has similar style with their intersections over there..
kikuyu1: We covered this 2 yrs ago before you came: THESE GUYS HAVE MORE INDIANS PER CAPITA THAN WE DO!? IIRC IT'S LIKE 2.5 TO 1. Here's a link to Indian biz in Naij.
They along with Lebanese actually control shipping, large real estate projects and the little remaining manufacturing. I get banned whenever I copy paste the link. Google this Indian: stallion group Nigeria. Being the infantile pathological liars that they are Naijjans keep looping back to this ishyt when it would be wiser to remain silent.
Nonsense..nobody bans you...you barely get attention..
Stop saying nonsense to make what you are spewing important..
Dlonra: The areal views of Enugu vs Mombasa tells alot about Nigeria. Seriously can Enugu even rival Nyali estate in Mombasa? Nigerian standards are really low . In Kenyan standards only Lagos & Abuja qualify as Cities. The rest are Villages
Lol.i am quoting this for the third time cos your words are funny...you said Kenyan standard and one would think Kenya is really improving or operating in developed countries level or even SA level... I once showed you a modern monorail (I know you've never heard of it except when I told you) and I am yet to see your standard provide you a descent transport system in any of your cities...I know you can't afford a monorail (it's one of the most expensive kind of rail to build and that is why no African country has ever built it not even north Africa) but can't your govt atleast try introducing a BRT...this things are common in most part of the world...even Enugu has its own BRT... Anyway that's by the way...This is port Harcourt international airport...I can bet my last finger that it is more modern than any Airport in Kenya maybe aside JKIA..infact it is competing with JKiA....I am here waiting to see Kenyan standard in Mombasa Airport or Kisumu whatever...
Dlonra: The areal views of Enugu vs Mombasa tells alot about Nigeria. Seriously can Enugu even rival Nyali estate in Mombasa? Nigerian standards are really low . In Kenyan standards only Lagos & Abuja qualify as Cities. The rest are Villages
Lol what is this Kenyans standard cos I do think see it in your cities...I strongly believe that who ever is in-charge of your urban development be shot in the ass.... Is it this Mombasa with narrow ugly broken down roads you are talking about..
Lol watch this one to the end so you will see how this white man described mombassa..he talked about the poor ugly infastructure littered around and the poverty Vividly present in the people..
Dlonra: The areal views of Enugu vs Mombasa tells alot about Nigeria. Seriously can Enugu even rival Nyali estate in Mombasa? Nigerian standards are really low . In Kenyan standards only Lagos & Abuja qualify as Cities. The rest are Villages
This is very funny..I feel like you deserve an E-slap from me Dude your 2nd pics is not Enugu city but a townie-village(Nsukka) that is at the outskirt of the city (over 70km away from Enugu city).....and your 4th pics which is supposedly Enugu happens not to be in Nigeria.... Instead of being deceptive with your pics why not sit your ass down and chill on some videos about that beautiful green city....And lest I forget Mombasa us a joke...we shouldn't even be talking about that..
During the period under review , the total length of roads paved increased by 14.2 per cent to 21,295.1 kilometres as the government sought to open up the country to boost sectors such as tourism and to encourage investment.
rationalhuman: In free world, Except Defense sector and Nuclear Installation pretty much everything is always open to anyone. (By the law as well, If you are member of WTO). If company A is listed on any Share Market, that means its always ready for sale (just a matter of available share allocations for purchase and approval from shareholders to safeguard their interests,pricing).
So what RVP has said is Technically correct and Pragmatic. Economy and wealth matters Nationalism can take back seat.
Example: If a Foreign fund House like Vanguard or HDFC, arrive on conclusion that Nigerien FMCG demand will grow rapidly and Dangote Sugar will be in demand. They will just buy all available shares for that day (and put a demand as well). Prices will surge and common people like John and Peter will be ready to sell their share too (too earn good profit) investors buys more and once it reaches to 50.1% of total volume, Effectively Dangote becomes the Foreign controlled entity.
And yes this can happen to all Nigerian companies too(Everything that is listed on your share market is basically open for sale to anyone), Only if Foreign investors see bright future and are ready to bring so much money in Nigeria. Dont take pride, while you and me argues Mr. dangote is just waiting for that opportunity to come and cash that and make more wealth. That is business, Big Business. Below is the sources of todays trading details of Dangote suger on Nigerian stock exchange. Today 520538 shares were traded.
I cant explain better then this. I hope it will stop all this nonsense of "British, Indians and Chinese owned Kenyan economy" like crap illogical rhetoric. Everyone is for sale, You name any big company.
Dude stop spitting hairs... I am not here to further this infantile argument when I know vividly well that you've gotten the memo but just want dance around in circles...
To summarise it for you.. your example doesn't hold water... shares sales happen here very frequently and in other parts of the world but still the richest here and in any sane country like US is still the locals not some hungry investors... Listen to what rvp wants...he wants Kenya to be a colony of either the Brits, Chinese, Indians...hence why he easily succumb to them by saying they own the rest of the world and might just own kenya as well...he wants them to be at the top in every affairs of Kenya even in wealth while local Kenyans scoop their leftover... He once bragged that Kenya houses are more Victorian/European in looking than any nonsense indigenous Kenyan housing design... He once bragged about how Kenya parks to him are modelled after those in Europe and doesn't want it to be change for any form of local Kenyan creativity.. He believes if Kenya can sell themselves to this country they might find kenya as their second just like south Africa and bring in investment in business and mostly in infastructure like those in SA.. He feels Kenya has what it take to be a darling to the white and even strip SA of that postion of white love... To sum it all he wants kenya to be what SA is today even if it means going through worse things than SA in going through now ..all in the name of having white view Kenya as their second home away from Europe if not first..... He wants Kenya to be the first thoughts on whites,Chinese, minds even if it means Kenya will have to be their lapdog and watch them control every sector with nothing to show for it as citizens except the infastructures they will build for their own comfort and interest which is what you are seeing in SA today.... Richest people in Kenya are not kikuyu,Masai or whatever indegenious native black tribes you have in Kenya..
rvp20182: That is AP force - a paramilitary wing of the police force. We also have GSU who are more bad. arse. KDF have the bigger guns.
That is your kdf..this is not the first time they've proved to be incompetent and unreliable..rmbr how they ran for their dear life and hid in the bush when they saw al-shahab marching towards them
rvp20182: I watched that video of gold smuggling - and I saw their military are involved in civilian duties. It's crazy. It like Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria - name all these african primitive countries. Their army is like a better police force. And soon their army overthrow the civilian gov. KDF are only for external aggression unless on special occasions the police are truly overwhelmed. That way you keep the army in the barracks..not into the politics and eventually into coups.
I was going to include this when I quoted rvp bit I briefly forgot..I want him to see the honourable kdf that has 100 degrees and don't take nonsense else they send you home
rvp20182: Yes I said land would certainly be more useful to poor south africans - who live in slums and townships - at the very least they will grow their food - and hence their agitation for land rights. In Europe or developed world - land is so cheap - because the poor don't need land to grow their food. The Boers are free to relocate there and farm.
I am not calling for land reforms (aka african taking back their land) - it's black south Africans doing it. I am merely echoing their sentiments.
I of course know of place you can buy land cheaply so the boers so take those offers like kenya whites did. Go farm in America, Australia, Europe and even Nigeria...where the locals will worship you as their hero and the kids will sing along your path...Onyibo.
Or wait for Zimbabwe.
You are a funny liar....your kdp also tagged along in the stupid display of your so called pragmatic approach..
Your kdf was actually the first to it before your police force followed suit
Kenya can't do those stuff just for a simple reason of being broke.
True I agree they are broke.. perphaps you should show them how you do it...I mean how you manage to fund so much infastructure..... I dont hink want them remaining underdeveloped....pls consider them and don't be selfish .
rvp20182: Our police image is in tatters for sure. Our military is miles ahead of many in Africa. Ghana ragtag army that overthrew your civilian force is known mostly fro cowardice. Our army is known for their discipline, incorruptible nature and their professionalism.
KDF is a mean well-paid force - and for their numbers - just well over 25k - they are amongst most the trained, educated and disciplined forces in the world.
For example in KDF - all officers must have a bachelor's degree in military science - and if you're not promoted in 8yrs to another rank - you go home.
Find a KDF office misbehaving - like you have in Nigeria. Not gonna happen in Kenya. You are sent home straight.
There is no GENERAL BUHARI whose primary certificate was eaten by a goat heck from being a commissioned officer - you need a degree in military science - in addition to any other degrees.
You are too mouthy..you should learn to talk less and think more...stop firing from your hips... The disgrace we saw during curfew hours from this lockdown was your kdf pragmatic approach to that situation...so much for not misbehaving.
rvp20182: Boers can do other businesses in south africa but sitting on land is inviting trouble.
This was not the only thing you said... You complained about black SA being so poor whilst a tiny white majority control everything...and now here you are saying white should control Kenya cos they supposedly control the world..
rationalhuman: American company GE Appliance is owned by Chinese American company Motorola Mobility is owned by Chinese British company mini is owned by Germans British company Rolls Royace is owned by Germans British company Cadbury is owned by Americans British company Jaguar and Land Rover is owned by Indians British Steel owned by Indians Hungarian KTM owned by Indians Indian Company Flipkart owned by American walmart
This is called Investment, Money does not grow on trees you need investment to sustain and grow. Let the free market decide. No need to go on Venezuelan path. Or do you think American, German, British, Indian, Chinese governments and their investors are stupid??
While you guys are bragging here, go and see how your government representatives, Ambassadors are trying to persuade investors from Britain, China, India, USA etc to come and invest. Trying to show them their "Investor and Business Friendly Environment". Atleast we Kenyans are open, pragmatic, We need more and More investment. If you think its not good for your country then why not protest to your own government??
Dude look no sane country ignores FDI and that is why Nigeria recieves more FDI than Kenya despite Kenya surpassing Nigeria by a long margin on ease of doing business....the below was what made me quote rvp..
I don't mind if Chinese can come and own everything in Kenya - as long as it's legal, they pay taxes and all that. I don't mind indian or whites investors owning everything
FDI exist in every country but that doesn't mean the country should be made a colony..for instance the Chinese own your transport now(sgr) with the wicked debt hanging on your neck like a gold chain on a bulldog...same is seen to be happening to Mombasa port....when you invest they are strict protocol that you must follow which are directives given by the govt...you don't go about controlling or interfering with the govt policies because you threw in a few dollar... investment doesn't translate to control and interference..what you have the Chinese doing there is not investment but neocolonialism....the Indians,brits are at the top of the wealth ladder whilst the laggard black roll in theuds like the dregs that they are.... Rvp wants Chinese,Indians,Nigerians,Americans to own everything(that means gaining total control) in kenya and that is exactly what is happening there today... And even when I confronted he went ahead and let his freak flag fly so high by revealing his inferiority complex...he said they own everything in the world and they might as well own Kenya.. we received FDI but don't get controlled and manipulated by this strange investment...we call the shots not them..
Shma: if I start posting investors group photos for Konza I will end up feeling the thread
. No need for that...we don't want to see investors faces but progress...I mean it has existed since 2009...look at Eko Atlantic (it is bigger than upperhill,CBD, Westland combined..it is even bigger than the Manhattan business district in New York) that took land reclamation serious in 2013and before 2016 they have reclaimed land from the sea that is bigger than all your cbd's combined...fast forward to today six building are standing completed with over eight and more underconstruction...look at iibc just less than two years and land reclamation is almost completed..can I say the same for the tea farm konza
Konza has pumped billions of shillings already just for road layout , electrification, drainage system and the Konza headquarters which will facilitate all other activities..
We're now waiting for those signed structures to start rising Take a look.
You better show me what this pumped billions has achieved on that empty forest land....cos all I see is a tea farm...talk is cheap sh*male
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode]upcoming activities for the Authority.
[b]The first phase of the implementation status is as below:
1.Access roads Main Street and Phase 1A Access Road opened up to gravel standards. 2. Konza Complex (KoTDA main office) Construction on-going. Building completion Expected by November 2018. 3. Electricity 132KV power station completed. Will provide 50MW power supply. 4. Water 1200 cubic meters for construction from equipped site boreholes. 2000M3 for Phase 1 from Nolturesh pipeline. Thwake Dam for future Phases 2-4. 5. ICT National Optic Fibre Backbone Infrastructure connection (NOFBI) link by MoICT through ICTA. Konza National Data Centre and smart city facilities. 6. Phase 1 Infrastructure Development (EPCF Contract) Commercial and Financing Contracts Executed. Contractor mobilizing to the site. 7. Kenya Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)
All of this is what konza will feature but unfortunately it doesn't exist...I thought you guys ridiculed the ground infastructures at Eko and insisted to see more of buildings..atleast Eko Atlantic has completed all its ground infastructures and even better ones...and pls forget that sgr except you intend connecting that overpriced rusty metal the Chinese gave you to that open parch of weed encroached land..
Funding from Korean Government secured. Expression Interest for consulting services concluded. RFP for design and construction supervision underway.[/b]
As I said billions of shillings have already been pumped, road layout has been done, sgr station is on the site.. This is what am talking about.
The entire amount Korean have invested is not up to $300m.....there is nothing up there..
Just30: especially when they've sold all their lands to Indians, Chinese, Brits and Arabs for small loans
That zoo Kenya is so pathetic..atleast try to be expensive if you are going to sell your glory...don't allow every tom,dick ,Harry on the street of Shenzhen,London,Ridhya,Mecca own everything in Kenya for a small chicken pay...I spit
rvp20182: I have clearly explained why Boers should not own land but should go into other fields. It about historical wrong that need to be corrected. Boers did much worse but I think south africa will heal when no Boer has such big landholding.
I have no problem with chinese - they are damn good in building stuff - and starting business - but illegal gangs minning gold, ivory and etc - need to be arrested and deported.
I have no problem with whites, nigerians, etc.
Nonsense you told black SA to man up and be like Kenya that supposedly kicked Brits,Chinese,Indians and took over the wheels if their lands, properties and wealth...and I was like is this guy bluffing? Are they now two Kenyans in this world....you threw a stone when you lived in a glass house ..
Hahahaha so you have no problem with native Nigerians own stuff in your country and infact ruling over you in wealth right there in your own country...who knows maybe that's our plan..no wonder our companies are rushing over there so in the next let say a decade we will join the Brits,Indians to rule of you guys on the hierarchy of wealth whilst you trail behind us with your laggard asses
