As for an oil refinery isht I wanted to confirm, have heard a lot of stories about Nigeria not owning a refinery
Yes we do have problems with our refineries. Bad governance of many years made them moribund. Yes it's bad for a gigantic country like Nigeria, so you can laugh over it all you can, but trust me your jests are gonna be short-lived.
One of the biggest refineries in the world is already underway. With a production capacity that will see Nigeria exporting it's excess by 2018/2019, just two years from now.
The construction has numerous effects including the generation of 12000MW electricity as well as fertilizers and many other derivatives for export.
This time it's not a government venture, it's private and the antecedents of the owner have always proved successful and timely.

Kenya offers 46 oil blocs to Nigerian
investors
ON September 8, 2013 5:35 PM / IN
Business / Comments
Nairobi – Kenya has offered its 46 newly-
discovered oil blocs for interested
Nigerian investors in the oil and gas
industry to develop.
Minister of Petroleum Resources Diezani
Alison-Madueke announced this
on Saturday in Nairobi.
The minister said that the offer was part
of the outcome of the dialogue group
preceding the Nigeria-Kenya Investment
Forum held on Friday in Nairobi.
President Goodluck Jonathan, who
concluded a three-day state visit to Kenya
on Saturday, and his host, President Uhuru
Kenyatta, presided over the forum.
The forum had in attendance more than
500 prominent investors from both
countries.
Among the delegates were influential
Nigerian business magnates who flew
into Nairobi, aboard a fleet of seven
private jets.
The Minister said that beyond giving the
opportunity to Nigerian investors to
acquire the oil wells, Kenya also sought
Nigeria’s assistance in the formulation of
right policies and framework to manage
the sector.
“It is well known now that Kenya had
recently discovered hydro-carbon reserves
and they are very keen to move quite
aggressively in terms of exploration
activities.
“They felt as sister African country, Nigeria,
having many years of oil exploration and
production, that it only makes sense that
we exchange agreement in cooperation to
hand over knowledge, capabilities and
experience learnt.
“They seek various templates that we have
formulated including policies, processes
and a sort of templates that form
Petroleum Industry Bill, among others.
“We also looked at areas surrounding
Nigeria’s investments possibilities where
we think that Nigerian business men and
women could come into the oil and gas
sector in Kenya.
“They are very keen that Nigerian
operators in the upstream, midstream and
downstream service sectors of the oil and
gas industry look to Kenya as a burgeonis
frontier for investments in the oil and gas
sector.
“They are also very keen that we robustly
support them in setting up the right
framework, policies and processes and
technology to help them drive the
exploration activities,” she said.
The minister said that among the seven
MoUs and bilateral Agreements signed by
both countries was that on Oil and Gas
which spelt out details of the co-
operation.
Kenya recently announced that its oil
resources met the threshold for
commercial exploitation, raising the
country’s hope of joining the league of oil-
producing nations.
Specifically, Africa Oil, a Canadian oil and
gas company, together with British
explorer, Tullow Oil Plc, had estimated
Kenyan oil reserves at 368 million barrels,
a level capable of commercial exploitation.
Minister of Trade and Investments
Olusegun Aganga said the maiden
economic forum between Nigeria and
Kenya had recorded a huge success in
terms of trade and economic development
between both countries.
He said the forum was a door opener to
new range of opportunities that would
increase the volume of trade and value of
investments between Nigeria and Kenya,
which had hitherto so low.
Nigerian business mogul and Forbes
Magazine richest black person in the
world, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, who led the
Nigerian delegation and chaired the
dialogue group, said a number of Nigerian
investors would be willing to invest in the
oil sector in Kenya.
Dangote, at the forum, announced the
decision of his conglomerate to invest 400
million dollars (about N64 billion) in
cement production in Kenya
The CEO of Forte Oil and Zenon Oil, Femi
Otedola, Forbes Magazine’s 26th richest
African and Chairman of
Honeywell Group, Oba Otudeko, prominent
bankers and investors, Jim Ovia and Tony
Elumelu were in the Nigerian delegation to
the forum.
Minister of Culture and Tourism Edem
Duke said more than 70 per cent of
interest by the Kenyan business men
at the forum was focussed on tourism.
He said the sector, a greenfield and new
frontier with low entry barrier, aroused
the interest on many Kenyan business
men and women.
According to him, the area of focus would
be wild life development, horticulture,
hospitality, training, leisure and
entertainment facilities. (NAN)

Well I responded because I had seen you spam the last page with your jests over the refineries. So there's no need to make a turn around right now. Continue to laugh.
Power had always been government too until recently. Transmission is still in the purview of the government. We can't even generate 3000M properly. Don't stop tho, if it makes you wanna laugh, then laugh, you can't be lynched for it.
But like I said earlier, Power is one of what will be sorted out by that infamous construction.

All of those sports you are quoting you are not even in the top 3 world wide. Kenyans are known to be the best long distance and 800m runners in the WORLD.

We still hold the Africa javelin record by Julius Yego who got a silver in the Olympics despite having an injury.

We are the best in volleyball in Africa.

We have held a world record in swimming. We are the only African country to have a chess grandmaster.

You keep saying Nigeria is number 5 etc in the world. Who cares about number 4, 9 etc. Last time I checked only the top 3 are given medals... Lol

I was actually shocked since I was told those were the most affluent places to live in Lagos. In fact on my way back there were 2 blackouts at the mutala airport. I was so shocked. From an honest view, with the large GDP I never expected something like that in Nigeria. I was told there are political cartels who sell generators hence don't want the country to have efficient power

I live in Gigiri, Nairobi. I have had 2 blackouts for the whole year lasting a total of less than 4hrs in total. Even the so cold poor estates always have electricity. I am from a small town called Kisii in western kenya which also has consistent power 24/7.

In fact 99% of estates and schools in Kenya don't have generators since there is power almost 24/7

Generators are only found in industries and hospitals which cannot afford to lose power at any time even for 5mins obviously

Also there are very many Kenyans who've never been to Nairobi. We have other cities, MSA which is one of the largest tourist destinations in Africa and Kisumu.

In fact, Nairobi is not among the top 5 counties in per capita wealth locally.


How many slums are in Lagos? I didn't say Lagos State.

I am asking about Lagos. Name the slums.

THE KENYA FILM INDUSTRY: WHY
NOLLYWOOD HAS THE EDGE…
Posted on 31 July 2012.
The popularity of Nigerian films in Kenya is
massive especially among the ladies. They
have grown in this country to a level where
some local TV stations have even dedicated
the majority of airtime to them. As if that is
not enough, Kenyans are even picking up
the Nigerian accent and it has now become
a commonality to find people in the streets
or around you speaking like Nigerians as if
they were born in the most popular country
in Africa. Words like “oga” and “chineke”
have become standard words in the streets.
You also won’t be surprised to find that
Kenyans know almost all Nigerian actors and
their full biographies and yet they hardly
know our own actors.
This is not that surprising as the Nigerian
Film industry is the largest in Africa in terms
of value, and the number of movies
produced per a year. According to Wikipedia
the cinema of Nigeria grew quickly in the
1990s and 2000s to become the second
largest film industry in the world in terms of
numbers of annual film productions, placing
it ahead of the United States and behind the
Indian film industry.
This is quite remarkable, and makes the
Forum wonder what really makes Nigerian
movies tick better that our locally made
movies (and also other African movies).
Interesting Storylines
It is possibly their plot lines that have mostly
contributed to the popularity of Nigerian
movies as they have got everything from
romance, betrayal, witchcraft, religion,
murder, history, revenge and folklore. Their
popularity has really grown fast, but this has
been at the cost of the ‘quality of
production,’ as critics put it. But in spite of
the fact that some movies are of poor
quality, they are able to get away with it
because of their strong story lines.
Speaking to Nairobi Business Monthly (June
issue), Brenda Okoth, a Nairobi-based
journalist said that people love them
because of the Pidgin English and the
accents. She further said that Nigerians are
bold, and the story lines are not the kind
that you can find in our local productions. A
Forum corresponded who also loves
watching Nigerian movies agreed with
Brenda’s views. She stated that she loves
Nigerian movies because they tell the African
story, something everyone can easily identify
with. She further stated that Nigerian
movies are diverse and creative and also the
scenes are actualized. If it’s a rural setting
then everything from the accent, dress cord,
houses and environment shows rural.
Mr. Eric Wainaina, a creative specialist who
also spoke to Nairobi Business Monthly said,
“We are conservative, we do not want to
push the envelope and we are scared to say
the truth. Our storylines are the same where
a rural girl comes to the city, meets a rich
boy who marries her and then mistreats
her. But Nigerian stories are longer than
that, and that is how their movies draw
locals in.”
Investments and Marketing
Any industry that is estimated to be worth
around US$250 million is indeed a big
industry. And when it comes to investments
in the movie industry, Nigeria is ahead of
the pack in Africa. This is seen in the
resources they use and the quality of sets in
their movies. In most of the Nigerian movies
for example you’ll find things like flashy cars,
beautiful mansions and villas, they would
even travel abroad to places like London and
the United States to shoot their movies if
they need to. The industry mostly referred to
as ‘Nollywood’ (Nigeria’s film industry) has
grown to an extent where investors and the
Nigerian government are planning to
develop a film village in Abuja among other
investments like the Plateau Film City. They
also do have systems in place for marketing
their movies
‘Nigerians got talent’
Nollywood is rich in talented actors who are
skilled at bringing out the character they are
given. They’ve got the likes of Patience
Ozokwor, Ramsey Nouah, Desmond Elliot,
Yemi Blaq, Mike Ezuruonye, Genevieve Nnaji,
Ini Edo, and Rita Dominic among many
others who are talented at mesmerizing
viewers anytime they feature in movies.
Nigerian actors know how to bring out the
right emotions when they need to, if it’s
crying, they really cry if its attitude they
know how to show it. Critics say that
Nigerians show more emotions in acting
than our local actors and that most of our
local actors lack star power due to a fact
that most of them only take acting after
failing in other careers.
The Forum thinks that the only way to make
Kenyan viewers ditch Nigerian movies for
our own movies is for stakeholders in the
film industry to up their game and work
towards being better than the Nigerians.
‘Being better’ would mean more training for
actors, bigger production budgets, more
‘outside the box’ thinking in scriptwriting,
plus higher levels of creativity and style in
costumes, makeup, lighting and
camerawork
Kenyans love things that are different from
the normal and the only way to capture
them is to come out of our shell. We need to
push boundaries and create a stir.
Most of all we need to convince our Kenyan
TV program commissioners that whilst
‘playing safe’ is a short term way of saving
costs, it is also a sure route to blandness
and mediocrity. Any industry that fails to
invest in itself will surely be overtaken by the
competitors who do.
Bigger budgets means better programs and
bigger audiences.

I live in Gigiri, Nairobi. I have had 2 blackouts for the whole year lasting a total of less than 4hrs in total. Even the so cold poor estates always have electricity. I am from a small town called Kisii in western kenya which also has consistent power 24/7.

In fact 99% of estates and schools in Kenya don't have generators since there is power almost 24/7

Generators are only found in industries and hospitals which cannot afford to lose power at any time even for 5mins obviously

I am doubting the regular supply of electricity in Kenya because I know we have problems in that area. I am asking about the impression you had about those places you mentioned.
