Oga at no. 2, i think milk drinking is very much a serious part of culture in my part of Africa - kenya. We produce so much and consume so much, even supply cannot match demand.

TayserMahiri:


Guy, I like the way you shifted the focus of this thread. I know Kwameh was a good fella, probably the only popular west african independence figure. Its funny because I have never heard of any nigerian liberation heros... These countries who were handed freedom on a silver platter tend to go haywire somewhere along the way.

Not to be biased but I prefer nations that FOUGHT for independence not those who got it by peaceful means. It says alot about that country.

Now to the meat of the matter, Nyerere was just an awesome leader politically, not economically. He created a homogenous country with no divisions on a tribal basis and has stuck since. His economic policies however were those of a very naive person. I dont know much about his academic credentials but his policies could only have been from those of a philosopher, not an economist. Tanzania was the laughing stock of the region by the time he left office.

Mr. Idi Amin was just a terrible swahili speaking dictator with a very very low IQ. He is only popular among radicals, the same sorts you'd see supporting Mobutu Sseseko. He had ambitions of grabbing about half of Kenya and Tanzania because he had a few fighter jets he thought made him invincible. Man of little knowledge. Tanzania kicked his @ss outta Uganda.

Jomo Kenyatta was just a charismatic capitalist. Fulstop. Not the kind of guy you'd talk to about social welfare. His philosophy was every man must work for himself or die !!! He was very economically smart though and he foresaw a country that was easily the weakest in E.A grow to become the strongest to this date. In my opinion, most of Kenya's advances can be traced directly to him. He had great foresight. Which is why as soon as Kenya got independence and white people were leaving in droves with fear of this Mau Mau tyrant, he called a meeting and assured them that those who would remain would not face any form of revenge or discrimination. He also made sure Kenya got the UN HQ by providing all the land and other facilities such a huge organ would require. Not many leaders in Africa at that time would have done that.

On the other hand, the man was strict and not tolerant of criticism and mostly disavowed leaders who had communist ideologies. He is even accused of having murdered a few. Not to mention that the traces of tribal politics can be traced to him. As one guy pointed out, he was at one time called to order over government policies that seemed to favor his own kikuyu peoples in a parliament session and his reply was simple and candid : My people get milk in the morning, your people in the afternoon. He sowed much tribal hatred in kenya.
My sentiments exactly about Jomo, a complete and utter tribalist! Idi Amin was a psycho. And Nyerere was a great African, without an economic master plan.

I am disappointed and lost. People, try and be productive, both Kenyans and other nationalities. This thread is lost, am very disappointed!!! If there's a moderator, please close this thread.
To the Kenyans here : Sipendi nachosoma hapa,. Japo nimekawia kuingia huu tovuti, naona hatujaendeleza chochote. Sioni dalili hapa. Nasonga na kusongea zangu, tujadili kiutaalam ndo ombi langu tuu!
To Nigerians and other nationalities : I don't like what am reading here. I have been away from this thread for a long time and i see no tangible developments. I don't see a future for this thread. Let me go and do things that elevate me, and mankind in general. Let us have intellectual and nformed debate, That is my only wish.

i think like mtumsuper said, let us hear from the kenyans living/working/studying/doing business etc in Nigeria come out and give us a balanced picture. Surely there must be some kenyans living there. Come out ,come out, wherever you are.

I have missed alot, and i now see this is a free for all brawl with Ghanaians and South Africans entering the mess. Very sad about the insults, its not good, lets be focused people.

Kenyans who eat fish have preference for tilapia, most of them don't feel comfortable with catfish as they say it reminds them of snakes! grin
Okays. I think this fish has a huge future in Kenya.I have eaten it before and it tastes good. Most fish eaters are not actually lakeside people or coastal people (read luos and coastals), but a growing number of highlands originated people are the major consumers of fish according to my local fish mama!!!
