Foreign Affairs / Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by ThunderingHooves: 3:33pm On Nov 24, 2016 |
forgiveness:I saw a thread on this place some while back. You can imagine my surprise and shock that they grew tea in Nigeria. Coming from a country whose people are the most notorious drinkers of the beverage (yes, even more notorious than a certain island off the European mainland located in the middle of the North sea whose language we are using to communicate on this thread ). |

forgiveness:Okay. Wakanow seems an interesting start point should i ever visit Nigeria. What i really wanted to know as far as tourism is concerned is whether there is a concerted effort by govt/private sector actors to jointly promote your country. Having individual states do their thing is good but its not coordinated. I hope you get my meaning. Ps. On another thread completely different from this one i asked :do Nigerians consume tea? If so where do they get their tea from? I need someone who can give me a brief overview of the hot beverage market in Nigeria or send me a link to that effect. Thanks in advance. |

This thread won't die, eh? I am curious and would like to know something about Nigeria : 1. Does Nigeria have a tourist industry? 2. If so, what type is it? 3. Is there tourism portal for Nigeria on the internet? something akin to http://www.magicalkenya.com 4. Where can i get info on flight connections within Nigeria? Thanks. |

Pavore9:Hahaha about being high on tea you are very correct about kenyans and am very very very guilty in that respect. Am also at least a cocoa man 25% in compensation. Btw some churches in Kenya forbid their members from consuming tea and coffee. Its about the caffeine. Apparently its considered sinful owing to its addictive tendencies. LOL. One smaller question would be about the tse tse fly situation in that specific part of Nigeria. That is what will determine if dairying can succeed there or rather not. |
Agriculture / Re: Beautiful Tea Plantation In North East Nigeria Photos by ThunderingHooves: 9:26am On Nov 07, 2016 |
Nice. I just love the sight of green. @Pavore9 this is also the type of climate where dairy cows thrive. Someone mentioned that Unilever pulled out because the returns were poor: does this imply that most of nigerians still drink imported tea? Am curious on this, i need info on this, anyone who is in the know please respond |

naijalander:You sound very disgusting. In all the 10 years you lived, you have all this to say, what a pity. NYS in Kenya died a natural death because it was seen as a ideological centre for the moi regime, just get your facts right. Most of the posters here are sticking to idevelopment indicators like access to health services, mortality for mothers / infants, water supply etc etc and not an individual's personal experience which by definition is biased. Ps: I was robbed within my first 1 hour being in Joburg. It introduced me to the very serious reality of personal safety and crime n SA, but I'm not going to go around hating on all South Africans. 6 Likes |

chebeoc:You feel it is necessary to call the kettle black? Stick to the topic man! Why don't you visit Kenya with a clear mind, then assess things. Your ignorance of African countries is simply astounding, must you seek opinions from others? And the most important aspect of this thread is that a group was found living with expired visa, and were arrested after complaints by locals. You obey the law everywhere you go, brother, it's that simple. 2 Likes |

chebeoc:Kenya is yet (as i write now) to produce electricity from coal. A plant is being built even now, but still none. My advice to you, brother, is to keep abreast of happenings across the world, and speak what you know. Alot happens in Africa, a load of things. You seem to be under the impression that nothing at all happens, how sad. Most Kenyans do not take empty chest thumping and grandiosity very well, it would be wise if you heed that if you ever came here. Listen to our big brother @Pavore9 , he gives a balanced and true picture. PS: Kenya is not one huge safari park with rhinos and Lions roaming the center of every nook and cranny, it has alot of things am sure you don't know exist here. 3 Likes |

Literature / Re: The Current Most Celebrated African Author by ThunderingHooves: 7:13am On Sep 29, 2016 |
Many years after leaving high school, i look back with regret my sloppy attitude to reading set books for the national exam. My efforts were expended in answering exam questions around the books involved, rather than savour the beauty of the language within and appreciate the art of the wordsmith. That attitude was however impossible to bear when considering the works of Shaaban Robert who was and still is the undisputed King of the kiswahili language, and the best known exponent of works in that language (I am prepared for a fight on that assertion). Peerless, he wove a simple tale with such an extravagance of words, and a complex one with such economy, he often brought tears of joy to my eyes. In fact, so popular was he as a writer amongst both the common student and examiners, his books lasted longer than the norm on approved set book lists. His prose and verse were simply peerless, he is considered the Shakespeare of kiswahili language. Attached picture , his best known work: 3 Likes

[quote author=ifeanyi83 post=49649479][/quote] If the naira is 430 to a dollar as it is probably today, and the kenya shilling is about 101 to the dollar as it is today, it stands to reason that 4.3 # = 1 Kenya shilling. Simplest math. |

muredo:It beats me why alot of your countrymen think we are a dump, when we are infact a major diplomatic capital and alot of foreigners who want a feel of Africa choose Nairobi or Kenya as their first or preferred port of call. Am not trying to market ourselves here, am just stating a perception of Kenya amongst the outside world is overly positive and is by all means a leading African nation. As for pictures of native tribesmen they are bombarded with, i have this to say: we are a very multi cultural country and those images are more of a marketing gimmick. Loads of Kenyans i know feel that this approach by the country's tourism authorities does not reflect Kenya well and infact alienates 90% of them. Infact, many want a total rebrand of the country. Those tribesmen are no doubt a part of the nation ,but are by no means a ubiquitous sight, except where they are the indigenes. 4 Likes |

Oga @Pavore9 it just occurred to me, these young fellows could be useful in agricultural IT instead of trying to go far from home to do IT fraud as i suspect they were doing . They can build themselves and build Nigeria with their skills. 2 Likes |

Pavore9:It appears the arrested group thought they would simply just appear and blend in seamlessly. They didn't contend with their very noticeable accents, lifestyle, loudness, and all other "other worldliness" they were very busy displaying. The same way a ordinary kenyan would be bamboozled by a simple greeting like "how de body" in Nigeria, is the same way they might have been nabbed here when asked "niaje", where both salutations refer to your health or well being as a greeting. And am told walking styles are different too!!! Am not if the law, so let the law enforcers do their thing, and release them if innocent. It is sad when energetic young men scour the globe and think the law doesn't exist everywhere. Their energy, youth and prospects are wasted. 2 Likes |
