68816419: You see most Nigerians want to live, work and do business here. So what most Nigerians do is get the tourist VISA that allows you to stay for upto 3 months but then they are not here for tourism. They head over to some cheap Nigerian neighborhood and hide there with fellow Nigerians and refuse to go back home Of course not all Nigerians do this e.g. Those hired by Andela and some other businesses have genuine long term visas. However majority of Nigerians living here are here have overstayed their 3 month visas and do not want to leave. 3 Likes |

By this time, the Company had established nine branches across Kenya. This local incorporation represented the first step in the localisation of the Company. In 1984, local Kenyan investors acquired 33.33 percent of the shareholding in line with government directives

68816419: Dude Thika is the most industrialized town in Kenya followed by Nairobi. If you are do industrialized why are you not able to refine crude oil produced in your country yet you are the largest producer of oil in Africa. You people make Africa look bad. Out of the top 10 producers of oil in the world you are the only country that exports their crude then imports refined oil products... Lol. Industrialized my foot. 2 Likes |

"We have always said ... the Nigerian space
program is not going to be an ego trip,"
Mohammed told CNNMoney.
"We are not part of the race for the moon,
we're not part the race for Mars," he
continued. "What we need to look at is
using the space program to look at how
we can create typical Nigerian solutions to
most of our problems."
Mohammed's goals include the ability to
locally design and build a satellite by 2018.
By 2030, he hopes to launch a satellite
from Nigerian territory. After that? He
wants to put a man to the moon.
Full coverage: Nigeria: An Economy Divided
Yet Mohammed faces intense scrutiny.
Critics want to know why Nigeria is
spending money on a space program
when 70% of its citizens live below the
poverty line. When the country's economy
is facing an imminent recession?
Moreover, what's the point of a moon
mission that would launch more than 60
years after Apollo 11?
Mohammed points to the country's three
existing satellites as evidence of what can
be gained from a national space program.
Already, they've helped document regional
climate change patterns and update the
country's outdated maps.
They've also been useful in tracking the
movements of terrorist group Boko Haram
in remote areas of the country.
Related: Can this massive refinery solve
Nigeria's energy crisis?
Mohammed's next priority is launching a
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite
capable of penetrating cloud coverage.
The images it produces should help
monitor activity in the Gulf of Guinea,
which has recently seen a rise in pirate
activity.
Mohammed says these projects are about
"capacity building" -- advancements that
will eventually turn Nigeria into a regional
space innovation hub.
A staff member works at NASRDA.
Look no further, he says, than NASRDA's
2,000-member staff. Mohammed recalls
that when he started at the agency eight
years ago, it boasted just six scientists
with PhDs. Now, the number of PhDs on
staff has increased to 70, and another 50
employees are studying in pursuit of
advanced degrees.
NASRDA has been granted $20 million this
financial year to keep operations going,
but it needs $65 million more to get its
next satellite project off the ground.
Mohammed says the money will be put to
good use -- after all, Nigeria is building on
the efforts of others.
"We're not reinventing the wheel," he said.
"The Nigerian model is a good model for
the developing world. We're not starting
all over like the U.S. or Russia."

Kenyan Cries Of Re-Colonization As Nigerian Entertainers Take Over 2016-04-18 13:44:27 Emmanuel E. A Kenyan blogger and publisher for Nation.co.ke, a popular Kenyan lifestyle blog has cried out to his fellow Kenyans, to stand up against the current unnoticed colonization of their economy by Nigerians who are taking over every industry in their country. According to his article, the publisher stated that Nigerian musicians such as flavor and davido had taken over their entertainment industry, especially their music industry, stating that their radio stations would almost old up if they didn’t continue in their unpatriotic acts of playing Nigerian songs. See his article below: The growing social and cultural influence of Nigeria in Kenya is the natural precursor to full Nigerian musician. Nigerian music is so well liked in Kenya that a radio station that purports to play ‘urban African music’ has a playlist of mostly Nigerian music. Name the biggest musicians in Africa right now. Now name some of African films’ biggest stars. Go ahead, I’ll wait. How many of them were Nigerians? I interviewed one of them last week, the “highlife musician”, Flavour, most famous here for his Nwa Baby song and its Ashawo remix. Like the most conceited of eternally sunglass-wearing stars, he was a fragile personality, treated by his management like a precious piece of china always at risk of breaking if not handled carefully. Even for one who massages egos for a living like me, his egregiously cocky demeanour was over the top and supremely annoying, almost as if sucking out all the air from the studio. The smugness that travels along with Flavour is not unique to him. His compatriot, Davido, is no different. A big star on the African music scene, he is also well aware of his stardom and acts as you would expect of a rich, spoilt brat. I was in Mauritius in late June for a Multichoice content showcase for their DStv and GoTV channels when I met the 22-year-old musical force. I didn’t get an on-camera interview; he had to run off to a busy night of partying before leaving the next morning for a different part of the continent. On my return flight, I had the misfortune of sharing my cattle-class row with two Nigerian journalists. The men demanded to be served before everyone else, and despite having flown economy, wanted the services of a private suite on the upper deck of an Airbus 380. “Nigerians have a highly defined sense of self- belief,” entrepreneur Mike Macharia told me. “If you meet a Nigerian somewhere, it is not someone you’ll look down upon because you’re prejudicial.” He has spent the last few years trying to expand the company he founded and still leads – Seven Seas Technologies – into Africa’s most populous and biggest economy. In Kenya, Nigerian movies are some of the most popular on television, much loved not just by housewives and househelps, but by many who would probably never publicly admit to watching Nollywood productions. Nigerian music is so well liked in Kenya that a radio station that purports to play “urban African music” has a playlist of mostly Nigerian music. It might as well be called Davido FM. So powerful is the “Nigerian” branding in Kenya that the Nigerian-Kenyan comedian, Obinna, has channelled it into a radio and TV show, performs to large crowds and is even launching a singing career.v“What makes Nigerians so different is that they’ve accepted themselves, they’ve accepted their loudness, and they embrace their African-ness,” former TV business journalist Cynthia Nyamai told me by phone. She says her eponymous communication consultancy is doing good business in Nigeria, just a few months in.v“They allow themselves to dream big – you think of owning a Range Rover Sport, they are dreaming of owning a jet or buying a holiday home in Spain.’vObinna says his Kenyan fans love the boisterous nature of his character. “Nigerians are flashy, they wear loud colours and drive big vehicles and Kenyan women especially love that.” He plays into the overconfident stereotype that many Kenyans both love and admire. “Kenyans feel mentally superior in East Africa, but Nigerians feel mentally superior to most Africans,” Macharia says. “That level of self- assurance works for them across Africa.” He points out that Nigerian businesses are making more investments in the country, such as GT Bank’s recent acquisition of 70per cent of Fina Bank. ‘They find us weak, so when he comes here and buys a small bank, $100 million (Sh8.7bn) is something he can easily do.” There’s a Nigerian everywhere you look, anywhere in the world. A friend took me to Croydon in South London two years ago and we found Nigerian influences there suffocating. A large immigrant community in a former colonial master is certainly admirable but the growing supremacy of Nigeria in Kenya remains unexplored. That Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, is investing in the cement and energy business here and President Uhuru Kenyatta is noticeably warming up to President Goodluck Jonathan are just the latest signals. One of Africa’s biggest writers, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, was in Nairobi for a literary festival late last year to a prodigious reception. Not only are Kenyans attracted to Nigerian music and film, their modern literature is taking over from the Chinua Achebes and Wole Soyinkas of yore. No wonder Nyamai says Nigerians are “very pan-African” and she now gets business on her own without facilitation from the British partner who first introduced her to the market. But that continent-wide thinking may also be working against Kenya’s in the East-West interaction that remains heavily imbalanced in the West Africans’ favour. The growing social and cultural influence of Nigeria in Kenya is the natural precursor to full economic domination. Though China is investing millions of yuan in Kenya, it is the colourful folks from Africa’s West coast with their agbadas and distinct accents truly capturing the hearts and minds of Kenyans. It is only a matter of time before the naira gains currency with the population here. The Nigerian colonisation of Kenya is here. You might not recognise it just yet because it is wearing sunglasses and acting up. http://m.pzimedia.com/people/articles.php?title=Kenyan-Cries-Of-Re-Colonization-As-Nigerian-Entertainers-Take-Over&a_id=25030 |

Dangote invests N80bn in Kenyan cement
sector
ON March 2, 2015 12:05 AM / IN
Business / Comments
By Favour Nnabugwu
Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote
has invested N80billion ($400million) to
set up a cement plant in Kenya through
East Africa Portland Cement Company
(EAPCC). Dangote entered Kitui County’s
limestone mines through the Kenya’s local
cement in order to open $400 million,
representing Sh34.8 billion Kenyan
currency in Kitui County, Kenya.
Dangote Cement which also constructing
major cement plants in Ethiopia, Tanzania,
and Zambia, already has a license to
prospect for limestone in Kitui County
while he revised the upcoming factory’s
annual production capacity to three
million tonnes from the previous 1.5
million tonnes. According to him, “We are
reviewing plans for Kenya with a view to
increasing the scale of our proposed
factory from 1.5 million tonnes per annum
(MTA) to 3MTA”.
Dangote’s upcoming plants in Kenya,
Tanzania, and Ethiopia will give it a total
capacity of 8.5MTA, putting it ahead of
Kenya’s Bamburi and Uganda’s Tororo that
currently have capacities of 3.1MTA each.
“We are confident there will be sufficient
demand both in Kenya and neighbouring
countries”.
Besides being rich in limestone, Kitui is
also attractive due to its proximity to the
Mui basin which has large reserves of coal.
The coal is tipped to replace the relatively
expensive diesel fuel in firing energy-
hungry cement factories. The group plans
to have around 60 million tonnes of
production, grinding and import capacity
in Sub-Saharan Africa by 2016″. |
