ArchieTaylor: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.

ArchieTaylor: 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. |

Nigerian movies audiences in Kenya, ftleir
motivating factors and the purpose why
Kenya Television Channels air Nigerian
movies . It begins by considering the
antecedents to this industry, in an attempt
to identify the Nigerian movie audiences
in Kenya, Why Kenya Television air
Nigerian Movies and the factors that
motivate Nigerian Movie audiences in
Kenya. The research methodology used
was qualitative analysis and the study was
based on two television channels: Citizen
and Kiss TVs, Households at Shauri Moyo,
Nairobi and focused Discussion groups.
The units of analysis were Nigerian Movie
audiences. The study revealed that
Nigerian movies have audiences from
people of all ages, gender, levels of
education and living standards measure.
However, the more people advance in
their level of education, the more they lose
interest in Nigerian movies. The research

packed with African culture which is
incorporated in the songs, the setting in
the movies, the proverbs and idioms, the
Pidgin English and direct translations
which are typically African. These are the
factors which motivate audiences to
watch Nigerian movies. By watching these
movies, audiences gets entertained, their
knowledge on African culture is enhanced
, and above all they gets educated through

these and more are discussed in this
study. The research ends with a
recommendation that Nigerian movie

more research, which should encompass
more media, audiences and longer period.

forgiveness: Hahahahahahahahahahaha hahaha... Which facts... Lol. Get your head out of your arse. In the recently concluded Olympics. Nigeria had ONLY one MEDAL, a bronze medal while Kenya had 13 medals. 6 gold, 6 silver and 1 bronze. The best a country with 180m people can do is get a single bronze metal... Hahahahahahahahaahahaha We are only 2nd to South Africa in the continent when it comes to Rugby and recently won the world HSBC sevens in Hong Kong. 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 wonde |

forgiveness: 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 2 Likes |

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. http://www.kenyaforum.net/2012/07/31/the-kenya-film-industry-why-nollywood-has-the-edge/ |
