listen to that annoying "I'm better than the rest" argument they always push forward.
What makes you think south Africa can not beat Nigeria to qualify?
So are you in anyway saying south Africans are deserving of world cup participation?
You cheated south Africa to get to where you are and kamar visited you, paid you in your own coin and you're all over the cyberspace crying blood about how ronaldo "dived" yet Daniel amartey was a pillar of salt touched a south African water that had him collapsed without a touch from the south African.
Let's see what excuse you're gonna give again after Korea finishes you on Monday.
Na Mumu you be shocked whether Ghana qualifies to the next round or not it won't affect my bread and butter so continue crying.

I understand football is full of surprises but the South African team I know doesn't have that mental fortitude to qualify ahead of nigeria.
All these nonsense you are talking you will still find time to watch Ghana vrs Korea
Such hopeless human being grin

cry baby!
See how you're crying river nile cos you lose a match that everybody knows you're not going to win anyways.
It's injustice to but that terrible reefer decision against the south Africans is spot on.
Goes to show how simple minded most of are.
Loser feel free and support whichever team you want to support, nobody cares.
Anytime I'm interested in Black Stars match I come to nairaland to make my predictions but I forsaw this coming hence my silence before the match.
One thing you don't know is whenever our President comments or visits Black Stars in camp we lose so the moment I heard he's gone to Qatar I knew we would loss the match.

You on the other hand know very well South Africa would never have qualified ahead of Nigeria to World cup but here you are talking trash as if South Africa would have played any better

I sincerely don't even expect any Nigerian university to be in top 100 sef..... They've been on strike for much of the year!!!

However UI has been topping in some of the platforms meaning there's something they are doing right and I hope Buhari settles the lecturers to end the ASUU strike

GHANA COMMUNICATION TECHNOLGY UNIVERSITY (GCTU), Accra

It was formerly known as Ghana Technology University College, and previously as Ghana Telecom University College.

GCTU is a public-funded university owned by government and founded in 2005. The change in name of the university to Ghana Communication Technology University(GCTU) was by way of the Public Universities' Bill, passed in 2020.

No I live in a cave. Desalination for small projects are all over. To scale is very expensive.
Go back to proper school

Simply put your country is too poor to embark on such project. Those foreigners who keep investing in Nairobi and Mombasa are not interested in your Turkana regions else
they would have done it simple

You could have gone for a single track education and concentrated - cost-benefit analysis 101
Desalination is very expensive - only done by Oil barons like Saudis.
Turkana sits on a huge aquifer - but economics of desalination dont make sense.

If this is how being educated looks like then I would rather not be educated.

Water desalination is done by African countries as well, it's not only Oil baron countries that do it mumu

Most of kenya lakes along the rift valley including Lake Turkana there has salty or brackish water. Not drinkable by humans. Without expensive desalination. This is not Lake Volta. That is world largest alkaline lake. Some like Magadi is full of Soda Ash. The rest too salty except for Flamingos.

Salty water dont just exist in the sea - they exist in some of these inland lakes without outlets.
Excuses as usual
Have you ever heard of Desalination before?
Libya, Morocco, Egypt, Ghana etc have desalination plants that treats Sea water and the water is drinkable

No one has asked you to drink it
It can be desalinated and used for irrigation farming

Every African country have an infrastructure deficit... That of Kenya is even greater than Ghana.
Just look at how many roads your country have to build and you'll have an idea of the disaster you have.

You keep screaming drought yet you have enough water to pour into the ground and enough water just to grow tea... Meanwhile Egypt is more dryer than your country but they meet all their agriculture needs .

Do you even know how much Ghana had to spend from 2000 to 2012 just to fight desertification in order to make it possible for food to be grown in northern Ghana?

Borrowing 80 billion dollars and adding another 10 billion dollars just last month with nothing to show for it only indicate how backward your country is
On the emboldened

From your @ss or what? Do you know the meaning of BAILOUT?

Ghana with all the resources and infrastructure deficit is wallowing in debts( with 17 straightforward bailouts) how does this sound to you?

Kenya needs IMF more than any west African country. Ghana is not drought-infested like Kenya, why are you borrowing too much?

There he goes again with his 1845 mentality. Even desert countries are transforming their deserts into farm lands. They are making use of the sea and any water body available.

What is k-nyansh also doing with this water body in the heart of your so called arid land?

Obaboon,
Stick to stubborn facts.
120kshs is one dollar.
1000/120 - highest it got this year is not 10 dollars.
That is 8.3 dollars.
Generally cement in kenya is about 550-600 - for donkey years.
That is generally 5-6 dollars.


As for Nigeria - as of last year - you were already 12 dollars. I am sure right now if you were to honest state how much you buy at hardware - it close to 6,000 naira.

Your cement industry has been studied - and conclusion - Dangote is killing you. There is NO competition. There is serious protectionism.

We didnt just complain.
We kicked out Uhuru and his project...for economic mismanagement.

Kenya went south the moment the drunkard took the sails from Ruto who had generally be running the gov.
Raila is feckless fool who cant hack anything.
That is why Ruto became president and country is on a serious mend.
Guys you are wasting your time on this guy.

Uhuru is bad but his Vice Ruto is good.

Uhuru mismanaged Kenya's economy but his Vice Ruto is a good manager of our economy

Uhuru is a drunkard but his Vice Ruto is a saint

Uhuru is this but Ruto is that

Question: What do Kenyan Vice Presidents do in their Government?

How can you insulate your Vice President from bad decisions taken by his Government? was he not part of the rots and stupid decision taken in Uhuru's government?

Any answers?

Why would you want to extend your debt payment? It's because you are highly indebted, broke and cannot pay as per the original contract stipulates

The often repeated story about Nigeria taking 90 percent cut and Indonesia taking 10 percent cut applies here.
Kenya SGR was built in record 2.5yrs - and has been operational for 6yrs now - carrying almost two million people from Nairobi to Mombasa every year.
That is almost 10 million passengers - without accident, in half the time, comfort and bliss. It was 13th most magnificient ride in world because you get to see few elephants and wild on the way.
That I believe is why Coastal tourism has breezed through COVID - domestic tourism from Nairobi & elsewhere are supporting coastal economy.
Mombasa port is few notches from Durban in terms of efficiencies thanks to SGR.
We can go on and on - Mombasa-Nairobi highway has less congestion - has lots of trucks been removed - 5Million tonnes per annum - is lots of trucks out of the road.

I choose to see the elephant in the room...Chinese are only folks who seem to get stuff done in Africa...except in Nigeria.

Let move on to Nigeria. Your SGR started way before ours...you recently finished the 150km Ibandan-Lagos - and the stats are crim.
Suffering says the same fate belies Kaduna-Abuja - infact it been abandoned.
The least said about 1 billion dollar Abuja to Airport the better for you.

Is there corruption in kenya. Absolutely. I believe at minimum 10 percent of almost every project is budgeted corruption. This Chinese are normally willing to pay tje "Project Managment Fee" - and in turn whoever get 10 percent - Uhuru I reckon for SGR and expressway - ensure the project never stops - chinese make their money that way - because if project delays like Nigeria Julius Berger towns all over - it will be costly for them. What values does Uhuru or Ruto now bring - they take 10 percent - and ensure the project never stops - police, judiciary, name it - cant stop - because the president is superivsing it even at midnight.

This "good" corruption. Bad corruption is Sani Abacha - take all the money and bank it in Switzerland.

rvp20182:
I have seen report that SGR has contributed 2-3 percent during and after construction.
If you do the calculation at 115B dollars...1 percent GDP is 1.15B...therefore every year...SGR is contributing about 2-3B dollars annually to our economy.
For a 5B investment - that is great multiplier.
One good example - impact of SGR on coastal tourism - nowadays domestic and foreign tourist find it easy to hope into train and go to Mombasa to spend their weekends at the coast.
Before SGR - you either flew or took an 8-10hrs bus ride or drove - which discouraged lot of people from visiting the coast.
As of now SGR is fully booked until January.They are going to add more coaches.
Those are kind of impacts you cannot measure - on tourism, port, transport, safety, - nobody goes measuring the impact of our road infrastructure...but because it's shiny chinese built railway...people want to have it profitable. Anti-chinese propaganda.
Basic infrastructure dont turn profitable in that sense...they dont have to...gov will use taxes to pay for it...they turn profitable as a multiplier or enabler.
How much do countries invest in road infrastructure annually? Is there anyone going out there measuring when the roads will become profitable??
Heck I doubt there is a railway in the entire planet that is profitable - almost all are subsidized - because they are like roads - they are the enablers/facilitators of the economy.

He of course took a huge cut - possibly anything 10 percent - which is a lot of money - but the SGR has paid off more in its multiplier - and as much as we should backward - we need to move forward. Rent seeking is almost standard in Africa.
