ArchieTaylor: same goes to many places in Nigeria, the truth still remains that, their are many cities in Nigeria that enjoys 24/7 electricity , the reason why the rest of other cities could not get constant electricity is because of the population and the large industries which are located in most of these states of the federation unlike Kenya where all the industries are situated in Nairobi |

68816419: There are also many Kenyans in the UK China, Italy, India etc. In fact the number of Kenyans in the UK is over 10 times more than the number of Britons in Kenya. See? It's like a mutual partnership. Enter Nigeria - so many of you living in pathetic conditions here yet there are barely any Kenyans in Nigeria. Why? What are you peeps running away from your country? |

68816419: Another figure thrown around. i already told you, you could announce to the world that you produce 1,000,000MW of electricity but as long as your citizens can't get 24/7 supply of electricity it's nothing. You can fool other people but you can't fool yourselves. 1 Like |

proudly Nigerian Nigeria celebrates first home-made warship By Will Ross Nigeria correspondent 7 June 2012 Africa "Proudly Nigerian" does not just apply to the people of this vast land - the West African giant is now building its own warships. After nearly five years in the making, the Nigerian navy ship or NNS Andoni was launched with a colourful event. At 31m (100ft) long, this is no giant of the seas, but the fact that it was designed and built in Nigeria, by Nigerian engineers, is a great source of pride. "We are all happy and elated," said Commodore SI Alade, one of Nigeria's senior naval officers. "This is the first time this kind of thing is happening in Nigeria and even in the sub region." Moments after stepping on board NNS Andoni, sailor FL Badmus said: "I feel on top of the world. "I'm proud to have been picked by the naval authorities to serve on this ship. "We hope this is the beginning of very good things to come and we thank God for it." The warship was named after the Andoni people of south-eastern Nigeria - and several chiefs travelled to Lagos to witness the launch - including his Royal Highness NL Ayuwu Iraron Ede-Obolo II, wearing a top hat, a sequin-adorned velvet gown and a brightly coloured necklace. The ceremony also featured multi-faith prayers, with an imam asking God to "protect and preserve this ship from the dangers of the day and the violence of the enemy", and a Christian praying: "May she sail with success like the Ark of Noah." The event had an interesting twist of symbolism for the guest of honour, Nigeria's leader, Goodluck Jonathan. Anti-pirate ship He is from a family of canoe makers - and that he is now the president launching a warship is a sign of how far he has risen. "This is the beginning of the transformation... and I believe in another 10 to 15 years, we can be thinking about starting a project to take Nigerians into the air," President Jonathan said. The NNS Andoni could be key in the fight against militants operating near Nigeria's oil fields as well as the growing threat of piracy in the Gulf of Guinea. Piracy in Nigerian waters is on the increase and incidents are happening over a wider area, according to the International Maritime Bureau. There were 10 piracy attacks off the 780km (485 miles) of Nigeria's coastline during the first quarter this year - the same number reported for the whole of 2011. "While the number of reported incidents in Nigeria is still less than Somalia… the level of violence against crew is dangerously high," according to a recent IMB report. The NNS Andoni is equipped with an advanced radar system and firepower. "With a speed of up to 25 knots (46km/h), this can quickly go to intercept the pirates," said Commanding Officer Adepegba standing on the bridge pointing out the ship's three machine guns and the automatic grenade launcher. Foreign orders The Nigerian navy reportedly wants to acquire 49 more vessels over the next 10 years. But how many will be home built? Orders are already in - for three from a French shipbuilder, and six from Singapore. President Jonathan recently approved the acquisition of two large patrol vessels from China Shipbuilding and Offshore International, a mainly state-owned company. In an effort to boost local industry, one of the Chinese vessels is meant to be 70% built in Nigeria. NNS Andoni was dwarfed when a 105m- long frigate steamed past during the ceremony - with all the officers cheering on deck. NNS Thunder, a veteran of the Vietnam War, arrived at the beginning of the year, a gift from the US. Eyebrows were raised when it was announced that the monthly fuel bill of the 45-year-old ship would be $1m (£650,000). When this year's navy's $450m budget was discussed at the House of Assembly in January, one senator described the donated ships as hand-outs that could become liabilities rather than assets. There were also calls for corruption to be plugged. "Corruption has sucked the blood out of our system. So we have to depend on hand- outs," one senator lamented. NSS Andoni's fuel bill will certainly be lower than NNS Thunder. 'No indigenous touch' After parading on the deck, the naval officers took photos of each other with mobile phones - clearly delighted with the new ship. "It's a great day. It's taken over five years but it's worth it," said a smiling Kelechi, one of the engineers. "We came up with the design, the expertise and about 60% of the materials were locally sourced. The engines, generators and navigation equipment came from outside." Nigeria is one of Africa's biggest oil producers, but this has not so much helped as hampered the development of local industries because the country has relied so heavily on imported goods. As he launched NNS Andoni, President Jonathan lamented the decline of industries that had been strong not long after independence in 1960. "We had Nigerian Airways, the Nigerian shipping line and a number of investments that were doing well. But because there was no indigenous touch, all these died," the president said. "We are told that some countries that were on par with us are now building aircraft, choppers and other things," he said, adding that Nigeria had for a long time not embraced technology. The president suggested sending the brightest students of engineering to the best universities in the world. "Then let them come back and work in Nigeria because we cannot continue to be importing. We have a very large market and even what we consume alone is enough to support an industry." "We have this market, we must use it," President Jonathan said - before laying the keel to mark the start of work on the second "Made in Nigeria" warship. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-18300358 |

NairobiWalker: Ghana woos Innoson auto plant with incentives I’ll consider offer later –Chukwuma By Moses Akaigwe Friday, July 30, 2010 Tour Ghana Visit Ghana Accra in Ghana If recent developments at Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited (IVM) are enough foretaste of what the future holds for the Nnewi-based auto plant, then it is well on the way to becoming the corporate version of the biblical prophet that is respected more abroad than at home. Though production is yet to gather full momentum, the plant and the vehicles that have so far rolled off the production lines have been attracting attention from the ECOWAS sub-regional markets, particular Ghana which last week sent a top-level delegation to Nnewi, to discuss business with the management of Innoson. This is ironically coming at a time when the Nigerian auto makers, including the new Nnewi plant, are as usual going cap-in-hand to the Federal Government, appealing to be keyed into the N10 billion mass transit scheme being packaged by the Urban Development Bank, which has already advertised its preference for imported fully built-up vehicles. Led by the Deputy Minister for Transport, Madam Dzifa Aku Attivor, the visitors toured various sections of the auto plant (and briefly watched production in progress), the plastics-making sister company in Emene, Enugu, which supplies some of the vehicles’ parts and accessories, as well as a new tyre manufacturing company, General Tyres and Tubes Limited, also a member of the Innoson Group. The Deputy Minister who repeatedly expressed how “very, very impressed” she was during the tour of the auto plant, said she and her team were on a fact- finding mission. She disclosed that they were in Nigeria to explore the possibility of not just introducing some of Innoson Group’s products to the Ghanaian market, but also setting up similar auto plant in Ghana. Assuring that Ghana has a very friendly business environment which enhances quick return on investments, Madam Aku implored the Chairman of Innoson Group, Chief Innocent Chukwuma to come over to her country, adding, “I want to appeal to him to set up a plant in Ghana, and he will have return on his investments”. A package of incentives, according to her, is awaiting Innoson, if he decides to take the offer. The delegation showered encomiums on Chief Chukwuma, for his foresight and entrepreneurial acumen, which they said were evident in the Nnewi auto plant and his other investments in the manufacturing sector. Both the Deputy Minister and the Deputy Chairman of Ghana’s ruling party (NDC), Sinare Saleh, who was also part of the delegation, harped on the need to do away with the drawbacks of the economic cooperation agreements by the ECOWAS sub-regional grouping, in order to ensure that business transactions boon among the peoples of the member-states, as against the present situation where scarce resources are lost to imports from outside the African continent. If Innoson vehicles are good, reasonable priced and suitable for West African roads, it would amount to wastage to continue to go far for imports, Saleh argued after the tour of the auto plant. Commenting earlier also a brief reception for the visitor at the plant, both the Chairman of All-Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh, and a well known campaigner for a viable auto industry in Nigeria, Chief David V.C. Obi, made a case for the patronage of the products of Innoson plant and other locally made vehicles. Dr.Obi who is the Chairman of ALCMAN, an association manufacturers and suppliers of vital components to the auto makers in Nigeria, told the guests that vehicles made by Innoson meet very high international standards. Taking the visitors through the production lines, Chief Chukwuma said the product range so far includes mini, midi and luxury buses, pick-ups and SUVs. The buses have air-conditioners and video entertainment. However, he disclosed that there were plans to widen the product mix to accommodate more commercial and purpose-built vehicles, including refuse collectors/compactors. Reacting to the offer by the Ghanaian government to avail himself of the attractive incentives in their country and set up a plant, Chukwuma said he would give it a serious thought, after the Nnewi auto maker has stabilised. He said: “I consider it a big honour and privilege for the government of Ghana to make me such a rare offer. I will think about it. But for now, the important thing is to make sure that there is enough patronage for Innoson vehicles in Nigeria, and that Innoson itself meets the demand of the local market in terms of quality, volume and after-sales support. That is our major target for now. Of course, after that, we will be glad to hit Ghana”. Innoson auto plant is presently producing vehicles according to orders placed by customers. Some of the buses were sighted on the East-Lagos route, while a popular transport firm, Autostar recently took delivery of some units of the air-conditioned midi version. It was learnt during the visit of the Ghanaians that a football club, Gabros International, which purchased the midi bus last year, was among the first customers to patronize the Innoson vehicles. Other members of the Ghanaian delegation were Dr Muta Idrissu from the office of the President; Dr Nichodemus Gabe; Richardson Jonah; Mr. Dawood Muhammed; Ellis Hugh Tamakloe; Ahmed Tahiru; and Kudoto Kobla, a journalist. They were accompanied by a Nigerian, Mr. Tony Ulasi, Innoson Group’s representative in the West African sub-region. http://www.nigerianbestforum.com/blog/ghana-woos-innoson-auto-plant-with-incentives/ |

They the go to malls and posh neighborhoods to take pictures and floss to their people back home As for South Sudan, Kenya controls the largest businesses there. All top 3 banks there are Kenyan. And no, Kikuyus were not deported. Due to the war that resumed between Salva Kirr and Macharia, Kenyans were advised to go home and planes were chartered by the Kenyan government The number of Kenyans in Somalia is very dismal except for our soldiers who are kicking ass over there.
