Kenyans use generators lol
OKEWO newsdesk@nationmedia.com
The cost of installing electricity is still out of the reach of many Kenyans. Power connection beyond major towns is a key pillar to the realisation of Vision 2030, the country’s economic blueprint.
A group from England, determined to see low income earners in Nyanza spend less on electricity, is designing and selling micro wind turbines and generators to instal in homes at affordable fees.
Cheaper power
Access Kenya Limited (AKL), a local social enterprise, is making micro wind turbines to provide communities in Nyanza with a cheaper and cleaner source of power.
The six-man team of engineers constructs the turbines mainly from scrap materials and leases them out or sells them.
According to AKL director, Dr Sam Doby, approximately 85 per cent of Kenyans living in rural areas cannot afford electricity due to high the costs of connection.

Hmmmmm I didNT see the bolded earlier

Free education at all levels?? That's a fat lie OK.. Their country is in economic mess cos their president took a populist policy of free senior high school which has backfired on them now.. Before now, their citizens at all levels study under trees.. Now, because of lack of class rooms at the high school level, He's doing what they call double track which sees their students go to school for 3 months and wait for the second batch to go for 3months too

You are amazing. Thanks for this useful information.
So it 3months on 3 months off. As for their students studying under trees we have seen so many pictures of that here. Now please tell me how does kumasi looks because according to they called looks cos they said it is world class just like London (according to one of their brother)

well, you can't see what i am trying to do when you have never hear from me. you can only guess.


Anyway sowore wanted you guys to experience the what the dead victim of ipob experience? sowore revolution is a lazy attempt . maybe he needs to learn from the intellectuals ( baba wole soyinka is still there sound).

This is ridiculous. DO you even know he has the support of Wole soyinka and top lawyers in lagos

you're Demented.. When did you apes come out of HIPC (heavily indebted poor country) status?? Your debt to GDP is around 70 percent of your GDP of 47billion USD.. Even though your fraudulent govt quickly changed the base year of your GDP..

You this dude you are saying my mind.I fear that if their debt to gdp hits 80% it will backfire and send them into recession

This is really insightful

@Bolded you right. We have helped them so much. They're should be thanking us and not hating us because we're far better than them

We take care of not just them but the entire continent. THEY are our responsibility

pokuasi:
A country whose citizens still study under trees cos of lack of class rooms, undertook a populist policy of free senior high school.. Where did that leave them, massive failure at the just concluded WEAC exams due largely to the so called 'DOUBLE TRACK SYSTEM' where secondary school going kids will go to school for 3 months and stay in the house for another 3months

You appear to know to much about the country and I would like someone like you not to leave this thread as your information will be very helpful. By the way they told us they enjoy free education at all levels from primary to university level (absolutely free including uniform and textbooks). I was told they fill up their potholes with BANANA PEELS and charcoal stove is the latest in almost every household

[quote author=pokuasi post=80933745][/quote]You see I have known about this power of a thing all thank to one nigerian guys that busted the lies of this hypocrites. Their power crisis actually started since last year.I don't even want to start with their debt else whenever they hear the name nigeria they would take their heels

Theenchanter come and see ooo that Kenyan actress you told me about that acted"Tinsel"? She said Tinsel made her popular in Africa and both America and Europe. That kenyans should continue watching Nollywood so that they can pick up. I told these Kenyans that, watching olden days movie comparing it with now is not helping if they want to enjoy a movie with their families or siblings they should stick Nollywood movies such as. The johnsons, Tinsel, Hustle, the siblings, Jennifer's diary, Mr do good etc.


Kenya’s low cost film industry – dubbed Riverwood after Nairobi’s River Road area – has flourished in recent years, but is still dwarfed by Nigeria’s Nollywood. Lizz Njagah, one of Kenya’s leading TV and film actresses, has been active in both industries. Njagah has acted in long-running soap opera, ‘Tinsel’, as the character Tare Duke. She recently also co-started a film production company and is developing a Kenyan reality TV show. How we made it in Africa’s Dinfin Mulupi asks Njagah about the challenges of investing in African films and what Kenya needs to transform the industry.

How did you get started in this industry?

I got a two year scholarship at Phoenix Players in Nairobi where I studied everything from acting, directing, production and stage management. It was unconventional training. We were not studying for exams but [rather] to really hone our skills in film and theatre. I have always been interested in acting. My parents initially wanted me to go to campus after high school, but I objected to this because it would have been a waste of time. There were no drama schools in Kenya at the time, after all. We did not have money to send me to the US. So when I got the scholarship, I took it.

What was your big break?

‘Tinsel’ was my big break. It let Africa know about me. ‘Tinsel’ shows across the whole of Africa and in some American and European countries. I have worked on many films, movies and theatre productions in Kenya and East Africa.



You are also an investor in the film industry. Tell us about that.

My husband – a director – and I started a production company last year. One of our projects was the movie ‘The Return of Lazarus’, which premiered last year. We filmed it in Greece. We also produced Me, My Wife and Her Guru’. We are also currently working on a reality show called ‘Meet the Konstantaras’. This will be Kenya’s premier reality show. It follows the lives of my husband Alex Konstantaras and I. We are a Greek and Kenyan newly married couple. The premise of it is the fact that many Kenyans watch reality TV shows. So why not? We do not have to be as dramatic as American reality TV shows because Kenyans are a bit conservative.

Our production company is planning to do several films. We are also in the early stages of developing a sitcom. The hardest thing now is convincing corporates to sponsor the production. In Nigeria, corporates are very willing to sponsor films, but not so [much] in Kenya.

Has Kenya fully exploited its potential in the film industry?

No. How many films come out every year? In Nigeria, every day there is a film being released. We are not even scratching the surface. This industry has the potential to create thousands of jobs.

Kenya is behind Nigeria’s vibrant Nollywood. What’s wrong?

We need a lot of local support. Kenyans need to grow beyond watching Nigerian films. Yes, let’s watch Nigerian, but also Kenyan productions. We need people to buy our DVDs and watch our films on TV. I know people say they want Hollywood standards. But, come on, we can’t do Hollywood standards without support. We also do not have distribution networks. The thing is, no one wants to sell pirated Kenyan films because they will end up in trouble. We would have wanted our movies to be pirated so all Kenyans would have access to them. We need our films to get to the people, even if it is through piracy.


What else is needed to transform Riverwood?


We are not just thinking Kenya but Africa as well. What makes the Nigerian industry so profitable? It’s because they have a population of over 150 million people. We don’t have those kinds of numbers and not everyone has a TV anyway. We are looking at around 100,000 people out of Kenya’s 40 million population. That is not enough. We need at least two million people to make any profit.

We need to think East Africa to reach more people. Musicians have done it. They are making a lot of money, although most of it is from appearances. We just need to get people to buy our productions.

@ bolded this cracked me up so bad..I have come to realise kenyans are noise makers and empty vessels

Keep on stealing pics from Kenya and other southern Africa countries


Meanwhile, when you show us your two zebras remember we're the crème de la crème of safaris #Masai Mara

You kenyans make me laugh ..you always believe nigeria and west africa as a whole lacks safari and wildlife well sorry to disappoint you we do have just like you guys, it's not only an east african or southern african thing .I am not surprised anyway most especially since that Botswana goat "sufferNsmiling " was surprised to see we have CAMELa and views that looks like those ones in UAE , the least he could do was question it

vaxx:
DO YOU KNOW? THAT MR REVOLUTIONIST HAS NO HOUSE IN NAIJA AND NON OF HIS CHILDREN LIVES IN The COUNTRY....think deeply.

So what's your point exactly. .
Comments like yours is what has made people neglect what's is wrong and not fight for what is right. This are trying times and having his family here can be so much of a danger..the fact that he left his family there and has been working his ass off and showing his undying interest and urge to redeem his beloved country makes me proud of him atleast for the first we are seeing people stepping out to question the govt just as they did to the COZA protest

vaxx:
Whoever suggest that sowore should be arrested has indirectly made sowore more popular and famous( it is a big mistake) I fear, sowore is the next big deal in nigeria now. international media will popularised him . sowore has gotten what he really want.

They obviously didn't think this through next is damage control

jaycent:
Well samo, now that sowore has been arrested. Are you sure that will work again

Hell yeah it will.that was the wrongest most silly move the govt made.to arrest a free man during the early hours of 1am by an unofficial force, infact they just added fuel to fire because they have now angered the youth and the protest was meant to be peaceful but because of this stupid irrational move I see it going the other way around. .They don't know the man has tHE backings of A USA SMITHSONIA.infact nigerians in diaspora has a hand in the US ban on nigerians most especially the politicians which sowore also as a hand in..They won't know what will hit them ..sowore arrest was anticipated and I am even more shocked and surprise that the arrest didn't come sooner than I expected. THE PROTEST IS STILL GOING TO HOLD WITH OR WITHOUT SOWORE AND MIND YOU THEY CAN'T HARM A HAIR ON THAT MAN HEAD, THEY ARE ONLY TRYING TO SEPERATE HIM FROM PROTEST TOMMORWO WHILE THEY LOOK FOR WHAT TO BLACKMAIL HIM WITH

and you are happy that only 30% of your roads are paved?

You do realize you quoted me on something that has nothing to do with Ghana right.before telling me that lie of us having 30%paved road why not go and make your research on how ghana shamefully has 23% paved..I showed this to chrisagyei a few months ago and he was surprised

Hope you have a plan for it?

Hell yeah we do have a plan and it's starts tomorrow. .watch out

Fidha254:
And perhaps you have forgotten that your population is 4 time bigger !!! An urban place like Lagos needs enough roads for 22 million people, while A place like Nairobi needs roads for atmost 4 million... And that is why we rank higher than you in both quality of infrastructure index and logistics index even if you have more roads in absolute measurement.

It's like saying you have more airports and supporting infrastructure than us, while that could be true, it's also true that you have bigger population than us, but when it comes to ranking of airport index, don't start crying when you find our airports bieng ranked higher than yours for having better infrastructure, less delays, more accommodating..etc. Our relatively small infrastructure support our relatively small population, does your relatively large infrastructure support your relatively large population

To be honest i could barely go through the first 4 line before I hit the "quote button"..what those population has to do with what I am saying or is it just a way to awkwardly shove this crucial and salient point down the carpet...We are talking of your CBD which tends to be if your most important international and local spot In your entire 500,000kmsq of resourcesless turkana-kibera,kikuyu $1500 gdp per capita poverty land which you have absolutely nothing to show for there except bad roads which you constantly blame on nigerian contractor which were poorly financed by your corrupt politicians,open gutters,no water system but folks lifting bucket at cbd to go in search of daily water, dirtiNess as silt are allowed to parade randomly at both side of your cbd roads,lack of pedestrian lanes except if you are ready to walk it out inside those dirty pit of a gutter.
Even if you are talking of your entire country road it is equally a disgrace as you are meant to always obtain a chinese loan funded road of about 600km per annum and that if your govts are willing to oblige that year. In total you have just 9,323km of tarred road and if your govt decide to fulfil their annual promise of 600km new road this year despite all that chinese loan you will end up with 9,923km of tarred road as your entire achievement after 56 years of independence. .A shame will be what I call this, that's the reason a kenya can't speak road and infastructure to nigeria most especially when now use light rail, monorails to commute through our cities as well as good roads at any place we call a cbd..An by the way neocolonization is on the way as I just recently heard the chinese are now seizing most of the infastructures they gave to you through their loans and manpowwe only for you not to pay back because they pragmatically made it so

Improve on your infrastructure index before talking nonsense on others as if Nigeria doesn't have any problem with infrastructure.

It can kiss my ass mostly when it is highly influenced by your politicians. .if it is so good then why haven't I seen it or do you hide them in the forest..if you don't know your country has less than 10,000km of tarred road since independence so I ask where is that infastructure huh..seeing they say is believing ..if it is not at your city then where else is it..infastructure my ass


Where did all that chinese loan go to if not kenyatta'a pocket. .pls hold that man responsible

Origins
Afrobeat began in Ghana in the early 1920s. During that time, Ghanaian musicians incorporated foreign influences like the foxtrot and calypso with Ghanaian rhythms like osibisaba (Fante). Highlife was associated with the local African aristocracy during the colonial period and was played by numerous bands including the Jazz Kings, Cape Coast Sugar Babies, and Accra Orchestra along the country's coast.[citation needed]

Nigeria later joined the Afrobeat wave in the late 60s led by Fela Kuti who experimented with different contemporary music of the time. Upon arriving in Nigeria, Kuti also changed the name of his group to Africa '70. The new sound hailed from a club that he established called the Afrika Shrine. The band maintained a five-year residency at the Afrika Shrine from 1970 to 1975 while afrobeat thrived among Nigerian youth.[2]

They have not financial bearing on our economy.

same as the economy.

And for the next 100 years, you will keep having illiterates rule you instead of governing.


We can sack every Nigerian student today and by the end of August, Gambian, Liberians, Togolese, Burkinabes, Ivorians, Americans, Brits, Koreans and Chinese will fill the spot
