Sri Lankan food crisis, one would think Africa will be worst according to Global food index...

rvp2018:
Yes - it would greatly help - the urban sprawl is crazy.

jl115:
I was talking about the "Most Dynamic cities" not that other Alpha, Beta what what list of yours

Also as you've rightly stated, Dynamic cities are the fastest changing cities however nothing you have stated debunks my argument...simply look at GDP growth figures of Developed Countries vs Developing countries over the past 20 years.....same with infrastructure development, and the cause of these developments is pretty simple...population growth!

Don’t be stupid,Nigeria is no longer the poverty capital,it’s your actual ancestral zoo India. She has collected her crown back.so please save it.

rvp2018:
First Nigeria and Kenya cannot be compared. You got very very serious problems. Start first by fixing your education system - and getting millions of kids out of school back to school. Then fix electricity . Then fix pretty much everything that is broken in your country...which is almost everything.

Now let move to Kenya.

Yes Uhuru was always a drunkard. That we knew. That is why we gave him Ruto to help him steady the ship. The first term was great - gov functioned like a clock-work - a lot of work was done. Electrification rate that world fastest - paving of 10K roads - name it - it was huge success and they were re-elected by an even bigger mandate than in 2013 (when both were facing ICC crimes against humanity charges)

The 2nd term was premised on what they called BIG 4 agenda. Then fallout happened. I have spoken to people close to Ruto. They tell me It was down to Uhuru alcoholism, and laziness. DP Ruto was very upset when Uhuru said they should shelter the big four agenda and change the constitution - in misadventure called BBI (which was invalidated by high court, court of appeal and finally the Supreme court).

Ruto was like "BOSS, my job is only to advise and assist you. I think we should implement this thing to the end; let's stick to the promise we made to Kenyans" .The next day Ruto started getting signals. Soon, it was a total blackout. 4.6 years later we have a mess. Unbekonwn to many Kenyans - Uhuru seeing himself as "too young to retire" was trying to find means to extend his stay in power. Thankfully our independent judiciary stopped him right on time.

Uhuru with his known drinking problem has almost driven kenya to a ditch - he has borrowed in 2nd term more than in 1st term - with almost nothing to show - it's gone to recurrent expenditure (Nigeria style). The gov has become totally dysfunctional it last held a cabinet meeting two years ago. Covid and Ukraine thing have compounded the problems.

Now we are going into election - it's btw Ruto and Raila (the guy is trying for 5th time - but is frankly too old and weather beaten - another Buhari who is sleeping on meetings). Ruto on the contrary is very brilliant, very determined, natural leader and very effective. Ruto is leading in most opinion polls and I think if he wins - we would be in very good stead.

Kenya has to fix minor issues compared to Nigeria. What we are trying to fix is manufacturing, more food production for all, better housing for all and free healthcare for all (Ghana has done this).

samorobo:
Why the fvck you calling me?

leQubit:

Austine1212:
Much like Nigeria, Egypt,....

Tanzania will too, their population birth rate is very high

Not to say it's better developed

Austine1212:
It's not ahead as I've said, I checked

Austine1212:
Lol they will eventually

rvp2018:
Ethiopia doesn't beat kenya in textile - maybe in Shoes only. Kenya exports nearly 500M of mostly textile to US under AGOA - i think we beat Lesotho and Madagscar now.

Austine1212:
OK my bad

Yes Kenya manufacturering is slightly higher, I checked the figures

But by 2022 Ethiopia will be higher, it's growing at a much higher rate

Austine1212:
I checked Kenya manufacturering is 18% to gdp in contrast to Ethiopia 20.3% in 2020

Austine1212:
Lets not call each other by deragatory names,

I checked Ethiopia is ahead

Austine1212:
I'm correcting the point you commented that South Africa is dependent on minerals

Austine1212:
Bring figures as you disputing it!

Austine1212:
And also South Africa is not mineral dependent

Automotive industry alone contributes $30 billion to gdp
Tourism over $35 billion to gdp
Etc

I haven't included the entire manufacturing sector nor have I included the robust and advanced financial sector

Austine1212:
Ethiopia is manufacturing hub of east africa

Austine1212:
YOU Google it you the one disputing it

baziboy:
I have gone through the whole thread and oh my god. I mean I knew nigerians and black south africans were fairly intellectually challenged but I never guessed it would be to this extent.
Arguing over simple verifiable facts. But the common things among them are
1) Their economies are not doing well infact nigeria is quoted to be the largest contributor of extreme poverty in the world after India. South afruca on the other hand is still undergoing an economic mismanagement by those who took power after apartheid.
2) Despite their large GDP, the sad fact is that their economies are still heavily resource dependent.

Austine1212:
Come with definate proof that it's not

Austine1212:
Come with definate proof that it's not

Austine1212:
If we are to factor in population it will be tears

Austine1212:
Lol but you know flowers are not east African thing that's why you export it to europe

Ethiopia is manufacturing hub of east africa

Austine1212:
Ethiopia gdp is almost 100b you not controlling anything here

When Nigeria says the control things its true. They 450b the second largest in their region is 70b. Even the level of investment in that region speaks for itself

You 101 Ethiopia is almost 100, you not controlling
