Researchers in architecture from Namibia were in Lagos to study Oshodi interchange terminal. Link of struts at the parabola forming the multi level car park and trusses is the first of its kind in Africa. It'll rank the most structurally complex edifice in Africa when completed.

You are going to have to do more than thus minor explanation, try to be more elaborate. Kenyan are not use to such kind of infastructure and a simple explanation will suffice so they can understand .like we all know they are not use to world class infastructure except over cost failure highly indebted infastructure

No,MrMkulumuke. In 2016 total Benin rice import was 2million metric tonnes and not 2.2m. Now Benin has a population of 11million and they love rice even more than Nigerians. Let me help you a bit---- If 90%(which is not possible anyway) of all that rice comes to Nigeria, that's 1.8m metric tonnes.

In 2017 it was 2.5m metric tonnes and you will be super stupid to say all Benin's rice import came to Nigeria. Remember,they are 11m people. If 90% comes to Nigeria, that's 2.2mmt. Cameroon never did 1mmt.
If added up all the parboiled rice imported by those countries is hardly 3mmt.If 90% comes to Nigeria, then that's around 2.7mmt.

So basically if Nigeria consumes over 7mmt and out of this 2.7mmt is smuggled in,that means Nigeria consumes about 4.3 locally produced rice.It means by your own claims Nigeria is indeed Africa's largest rice producer.

This last part is pure unadulterated nonsense. The point is not clear.Please modify it when your anger and frustration cools down.

He can't believe that in 3 years nigeria as turned around its agricultural sector and we now produce 15m metric tonnes of rice. He wishes us not to become a diversified economy hence he keeps telling himself nigeria's diversification sector is a charade so he can sleep well at night thinking they won't rise as oil price is down and they will remain that way and suffer. All I see is hatred and foolishness on his part. If he think our stats are fake he should ask himself this simple question "WHY IS IT THAT NIGERIA AN OIL DEPENDENT ECONOMY THAT WENT INTO RECESSION WITH ITS FELLOW OIL DEPENDENT ECONOMY FROM MIDDLE EAST TO AFRICA, HAS THE HIGHEST GDP GROWTH AND CAME OUT OF RECESSION FASTER THAN ANY OTHER?

Apparently you are more obtuse than i thought. You have to quote me twice just to repeat what seems to be difficult for you to understand.


what are you saying? east Asia (particularly China has been known as most populated country in history and it has retain this position as far back as 2000 years. India too was not so much of a big deal. The current birth rate of India is 2.4 not much gap of difference from Nigeria with 3.2 growth rate. Africa largest country by population. Nigeria is currently about 2.6 of the world population while India is about 17.4 .

Not entirely true, China run a close economy during the cultural revolution of mao and she was sluggish opening up her economy. Some city like Shanghai were the the first to open up. And not all sector were open. China recently run fully open market not quite long age. And researcher have suggest China was able to run a successful close economy due to a larger size. Which will be impossible for a country like Togo to-do since she has a few population to stair up the economy. China will attribute her success rate to the base effect of her demographic boom during the close market.

You have challenge. Every one know this and nobody is arguing about that. The only issue here is why demographic boom can easily be overturned and programmed properly to the benefit of the economy, the former is seriously and damaging to the sustainability of the growth of a nation. It is one of the reasons why most declining nation in population are experiencing sluggish economic growth.


You are mad once again. Are you spoonfeeding an India like you here. In 2020, the average Indian will be 29 years old or Nigeria around 19 years compared that with an average age of 37 in China and the United States, 45 in Western Europe, and 48 in Japan. This simply demonsrate that there will be a large and growing labour force in India than above country yet unemployment rate keep rising in India from 5 percent to 7 percent rate. despite the econmy growth, india is Hardwick to fiill up unemployment holes. Since the growing working age are not SKILLFUL enough. India recently pull out of Pisa . Global education ranking which have continuously ranked India below . This is to show something is wrong with India EDUCATIONAl structure. Therefore , demographic dividend will only be an advantage on paper and if left un-utilized, it will sours into unbearable burden for the nation. Just like I said earlier, . But right choices of goverment in a populated country can transform balloon nation into a healthy, educated, empowered labor force. It is easier when such nation invested heavily on the critical sector ( health and education) This is what lifts people out of poverty in Japan, south Korea, China. We are taliking about the ability of government to invest more in child education and health care here. Doing this will be providing for a healthier cohort of working adults / with ready skills, ready to move into the economy’s expanding job market that primarily have a large populated advantage. You only benefit from demographic dividends when investment in critical sector are possible . Remember the base effect of a control population too. So a well grounded policy such as investment into above critical sector i made earlier will solve the pussle becuse it will create more entrepreneurial spirit minded population instead of job seeking population. Larger population with sophisticated idea have more entrepreneurial citizens than smaller nations. China , USA and south Korea. Even by absolute Nigeria as the largest populated black nation has more entrepreneurial individual than most of the sub Saharan black nations.

What grows nation are investment in critical sector. Demographic devinded is only an advantage on paper when right choices are not taking.


You must be hyping yourself way above your reasoning. That advice actually is direct opinion you must take seriously. Don't pick nicketing, there are more chances that you might be subjective in your THOUGHT.


what is this madness?
This is called a free market. China benefit from her sheer size of her domestic markets during her close market perioud. She is so big enough to do so. Africa is not economically sustainable like Asia becuse it is not as integrated as Asia. Well, that story is about to change. By July 1 of this year. most Africans country are signing into a single trade zone. The market analyst predicted it to worth around 2 trillion dollar.

Yet India economy growth is not filling up unemployment holes. Because of the same similar structure of governance is running alonside african state. Those who are benefiting are those who already have enoghh capital and assets, the free market economic model takes wealth from the poor and gives it to the rich. China system was able to outsmart this.



India had the second lowest score rate of education standard in the entire south Asia. Not until when investment are largely direct to this sector, India will still remain where it is.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/wap.business-standard.com/article-amp/economy-policy/underinvesting-in-health-education-is-now-risking-india-s-economic-future-118092500110_1.html


Not just controlling the population growth alone but investing in the direct sector. Even if China China curb her population growth without pumping much investment into the critical sector. The case of China will still not be different from India today. Which further grounded my assessment that demographic dividends is adjust an advantage on paper if investment are not directed into critical sector of the society . Healthy citizens and skilfully population tends to change the dynamic of a nation more positively.

Countries where education levels are already high, where much investment in transport and communications systems is in place, and where political and economy systems are relatively stable, are well equipped to cope with rapid population grow than vice versa. Population growth should be maintain in accordance with the economy growth. Overrun it has is own downward effect. North America, Japan has experience economic growth by moderates population growth of recent. .


""india has the second-lowest education score (66/100) amongst its South Asian counterparts.

Poor quality education and the relatively high prevalence of certain diseases amongst the population means India is risking its future economic growth by underinvesting in two key areas important for workforce productivity, according to a new study. ""HEALTH and EDUCATION "

Indians work for just six-and-a-half years at peak productivity (compared to 20 years in China, 16 in Brazil and 13 in Sri Lanka), ranking 158th out of 195 countries in an international ranking of human capital"

http://www.healthdata.org/

Note . Human capital are just a combination of health and education which India lacks.

Nearly bullshilt. We not be able to cover all the flaws. There is what is know in economics as initial conditions’. India and China are historical known to have some of the world giant economy ( human and agricultural land) both China and India , accounted for more than half of the world industrial production before the Industrial Revolution.. And This is the same reason China and India GDP are projected to overtake usa accordingly. .there have been a permanent and industrial cultivation of agricultural product in Asia which has existed for nearly as 3,000 years ago.. India only face a major set back in the 60s and 70s due to political instability which is yet to get her self out till date. Modern China has never been poorer like africa . China was the world largest economy in 1820 and is about to take it in the next few years.well in compare to india , the whole of Africa is not historically disadvantaged. Ancient agricultural countries like Egypt , Tunisia and Algeria are fully on par with India in growth potential, and in fact, are much richer than India today.


About Brazil. That will be a story for another day.

You waste your time on this fellow, he is a ravey looney

edon21:
Nah Namibia looks far better than Nairoslve

Fact. Their roads alone say it's all

Jonraid:
He once did. Actually, Algeria looks nicer than the country with the biggest GDP in Africa!

I don't see that as a problem.china is Asia's largest economy but everyone knows that tokyo,Seoul, Singapore,Hong Kong is better looking than any chinese cities. In nigeria's case that is about to change let's say in the next 7-10 years.but our cities are better than any Kenyan city and that's fact

obaaderemi:
I always enjoy it when he weeps over nonsense. His tears gladden my heart when he tries to helplessly explain himself out of frustration like this man:

He doesn't know that the more he keeps arguing on matters that are obvious will make us dig deep and expose it's on their own part. He will soon cry when we analyse kenya agricultural sector then he will resort to making friend with 68881 so he can nurse is pain when heavily beaten. I.hope their failed sgr and cooked gdp will ring a bell to what I am saying

obaaderemi:
These hot tears of yours do not erase the fact that Nigeria is Africa's biggest producer of rice.You may kill yourself over that and we won't care.
Let me add to your pain. Total import of parboiled rice by Benin, Cameroon and Togo is around 3 million tonnes. (see attached table below).I am even being generous with figures to suit and help you.

Let's assume all of this is planned to be exported to Nigeria. Now,some of this rice would not even get to Nigeria due to custom's disturbances. Some would be impounded. Let's assume 90%gets to Nigeria, that's 2.7million metric tonnes. Nigeria rice consumption is 7million metric tonnes. 7m minus 2.7m gives you 4.3million metric tonnes. Egypt, Africa's second biggest producer of rice produces less than that. That still leaves Nigeria as Africa's biggest producer of rice no matter how you turn and cry,boy.

And next time leave Brazil out of your stupid list of rice exporters if you don't want to keep sounding stupid.

You. Have time for this one.
Just insult him whenever he try to argue with the obvious so he can remain stupid. Not everything needs argument. Some folks are just too dumb to be reasoned with

Nigeria's Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, must by now have understood what it means to fight the rice mafia in Nigeria.

For about a week now, he has been in the eye of the storm over comments reportedly credited to him, relating to the fact that seven rice mills had closed shop in Thailand on account of the drop in the importation of rice by Nigeria.

Apart from the response of Thailand Ambassador to Nigeria, Wattana Kunwongse, denying remarks that rice mills are collapsing in the Asian country; many people had gone to town, particularly on the social media to castigate the minister for telling lies.

This was done rather than viewing the statement credited to the minister in the context that Nigeria is involved in a trade war that dates back many decades.

Kunwongse, in a statement, said: "The report is not only misleading but a distortion of the actual conversation between myself and the honourable minister of agriculture at the federal ministry of agriculture and rural development."

He narrated how he "praised President Buhari's Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), the essence of which is the endeavour to move the country to a self-sufficiency and export-oriented economy, and to that worthy cause, Thailand stands ready to work closely with the Nigerian government in the field of technological transfer and agricultural machineries."

It seems relevant and necessary to ask how the exporting country hopes to benefit from assisting an importing country in technological transfer and agricultural machineries that will end up stopping the latter from continuing to depend on the former. Some issues raise questions of correlation and causation.

What the ambassador did not explain is how his country imported 1,647,387 metric tonnes of rice to Republic of Benin in 2017 alone.

Mr Kunwogse also did not mention that Thailand's import of rice to Benin has been steadily on the increase, 805,765MT in 2015, and 1,427,098MT in 2016, while official import from Thailand into Nigeria was steadily declining.

Nigeria has an estimated 180 million people while the population of Republic of Benin is about 11 million people. In 2014, 1,239,810MT was imported into Nigeria.

It declined to 644,131MT in 2015, and to 58,260MT in 2016, reaching an all-time low of 23,197MT in 2017, and if this trajectory remains on a downward path, Nigeria may not be importing rice by 2020.

The flow of rice imported from major Asian origins to Benin for onward shipment to Nigeria is a factor that should not be ignored in the regional rice trade in West Africa.

ECOWAS data indicate that over half of the rice Benin imports is sold into the Nigerian market. Port of Cotonou statistics show about 2.4 million metric tons (MMT) of cereals arriving at the port in 2014, over half of which is rice.

Nonsense. Did you check the date of your wack article, or are you that desperate

Mkenya2019:
It's a joke of a country. When they banned 41 items - they only ended up boosting Benin & cameroun - who are smuggling about the same. If you check the rice Benin & Camereoun are importing & re-exporting to Nigeria - then you'll know Nigeria fake rice production cannot even pass the first muster.

Story for the gods

Algerian1:
Thats bullshit fake news . no one was enslaved in algeria . its rebels terrorists, smugglers groups in north mali , not algeria . they kidnap migrants enslave , torure , demand ransoms .

Thanks for the clarity. I hope you kenyans have seen this . Straight from the horses mouth

HAHAHA has obakillah gotten two phones

But they enslave you when you try using their country as the pathway to Europe.

Hahaha. .. are you trying to create an enemy for us .

We will whip you anyway Kumatako. Kenya came to Afcon to beat bongolala. The other two teams are too strong.

Hahaha what is with all this long stupid note.is it to say India your second useless home is better than china or it is a great country.

Mkenya2019:
From Thailand and India 2.5m tonnes are imported by Benin all nearly destined to Nigeria in 2016.Let not add other imports from Indonesia, Pakistan,Brazil and the US.If you add Cameroon smuggling routes then we can conclude Nigeria cannot produce even 1million metric tonnes of rice per year.At least 90% of Benin imports are re-export to Nigeria through smuggling routes .Benin import a billion dollars worth of mostly parboiled rice...they consume white rice.

ranting goat . Various report has it that we have overtaken egypt as africa largest rice producer and it will grow even double this year.reports also has it that rice import has decline in nigeria focus on your illusory $30bn agricultural sector annually or should we focus on that of india's

kikuyu1:
Indirectly,this is what he's trying to tell us:every Beninese,babies,elderly,poor,rich,thin,fat and everyone in between consumes 600 GMS OF RICE DAILY!! In other words 6 servings of this cup.

https://www.cooksinfo.com/rice#equivalents

So Beninese actually EAT 1.8 KG OF COOKED RICE A DAY-they'd spend most waking hours preparing and eating rice of this quantity without time for anything else!! These guys have jokes but some jokes write themselves! This is what happens when you try to take refuge in lies.

You are you talking to

Mr.Mukulumuke would still think this is China

Olam Rice Mill,Adamawa....Does Kenya have tea factories?

Hahaha the idiot won't believe

Mkenya2019:
Just swap Benin with Nigeria.Why would a tiny country like Benin be leading importer of Rice in Thailand,India,Brazil, name any big producer.Why they are importing parboiled rice they don't consume.They like Kenya prefer white rice.Dont be obtuse and like Kikuyu like to say autistic.You should at least have some social awareness to know you're making a big fool of yourself .There is no doubt your stupidity is cogential and that is probably related to endemic poverty in Nigeria. That explains your longetivity in this thread...while any sane Nigerian know the battle was long lost and took their seat to learn from progressive Kenyans..here you're pushing the most inane of arguments everyday.

Idiot.. thanks to oba for detecting your vivid ignorance. I bet you didn't read that link you dropped hence you would have noticed the salient point that showed nigeria decrease In rice import. I doubt you if wold have proceed to post that having read all that.
Stupid citizen from to slummish capital of the world.
Read my lips India is a shiithole and should not be compared with China. That what you should be discussin. You need to see the way your Indian brother are.living to like rats here

Mkenya2019:
Talking of rice..and Nigeria unreliable figures (AND FAKED GDP). You need to study how much rice Benin - that small country is importing.

This is more India-Bangaldesh cow situation - where Indians clandestinely sell cows across the border to Bangladeshi against their religious beliefs. Bangladesh then become the world largest exporter of cattle/beef - while we know India has the largest hardest of cattle.

In Nigeria - Benin now import million tonnes of rice - that obviously end up in Nigeria. Nigeria as we know banned rice importation and claims the local production miracously grew to 7m tonnes .

Benin a small country of 10M people- now easily import 2M tonnes of rice destined for Nigeria from Thailand alone. We haven't checked the imports from Pakistan, India, US, Brazil.

Check that list from Thailand - rice association - as of 2017 - Benin was leading importer of their rice - 1.8M metric tonnes. Also check Camerooun figures...another smuggling source of rice to Nigeria.

Well, the Chinese are no longer pushover.

True but did you see the combination of force you listed earlier . Or maybe worst comes to worst china might connive with its asian brothers for victory.Russia should be a good example and would be willing to join hands in taking US down should US try to start an actual war from these trade war .bad blood has always existed btw Russia and America and Russia will not hesitate at an opportunity to expunge that greatness of America. These trade war is going to last long china is indeed ready to take over the world but America is too paranoid and can't believe that a day will come when another country will overtake their influence in everything most especially the chinese of all people. The same chinese that they humiliated and subjected to cheap labour in Chinatown San Francisco, the same chinese that they called filth, poor and trash when they came dumping themselves at the docks of San Francisco as slaves.

Usa should just accept it , they where too busy with whatever took their time too notice chinese growing influence in africa.now they want to erase an effort of over 20 year of long term patient investment and structural planning. The difference btw china and usa is that the chinese planned for this day and the days ahead while America did not.
I have this feeling that the US might be keeping tabs and planning some really bad moves on them.Don't be surprised that they have been monitoring chinese conversation all this while . Snowden come to your mind, but then the Chinese are not stupid

vaxx:
why? America and the EU are currently challenging China for influence in africa now. Competition still goes on. China has become a major player, the better , the faster, the world power are aware.

Hahaha if US is conniving with EU then I must say china should be prepared to be taken down.The battle is going to be tough owing to the fact that US is very stubborn and they always make sure they get what they want
