rvp20182:Nigeria has never been known for her tourism(which is a shame because the potential is there). Other factors like security fears may have played a role as well, but then Kenya is just 68(which is a shame), and this report makes it clear that there are more global chains coming up in Naija than anywhere else. 2 Likes |

Global chains counted here excluded tourist lodges and camps. The global chains are mainly for business travelers. Nigeria will never ran out of excuses! You want to diversify the economy - start with tourism - domestic tourism! Daejoyoung: 1 Like |

They used to be many such footballers in Umoja, Nairobi. Like this one who was arrested for defilling under-age girl. They mainly play for lower leagues - if not engaging in drugs or trying to get to Europe or Asia. You see for Nigerian - it very hard to get VISA unless they have travelled around - having Kenyan stamp on their passport increases their chance of going to Europe or US next time they apply for VISA. http://allafrica.com/stories/201202100387.html TayserMahiri: 1 Like |

Launch of the Early Oil Pilot Scheme (EOPS) from Turkana, Northern Kenya. The EOPS is aimed at testing the oil market, learning the trade/tricks, etc before full phase oil production in two years. That note is President Uhuru Kenyatta's on the visitor book. Just below (not visible) is a note in red saying "The idea is to avoid being like Nigeria". ![]() 1 Like

Meanwhile, Kenyans dont take cartels lying down. With the launch of oil exportation, calculative Kenyans have come together, formed and launched their own oil marketing company to take on the Oil Big Boys of the world! There is no way these cartels that run Nigerian oil industry will make it here. The brand goes by the name Eqwipetrol and is sophisticated enough, officially becoming the largest chain of fuel marketers across the country in one day. They are giving Kenyans Eqwipetrol prepaid fuel Mastercards besides providing an App that enables independent retailers to plan for their fuel demands, order for fuel and track fuel consignments through a GPS tracking system. The Kenyan People's owned brand will dominate the Kenyan Oil market and protect Kenyans from profit hungry international cartels. As you probably figured, the oil sector is dominated by foreign brands in Africa. Wont happen in Kenya! Expect Eqwipetrol to grow into an international brand rivaling Total, Shell and BP in the future. The Tagline for Eqwipetrol is "Hii ni Yetu" translating to "This (Oil) is Ours". 3 Likes

It's Time for Treasury to sell National Oil - so it can benefit from private sector expertise. Otherwise this idea is good.Eqwipetrol is owned by National Oil if am not wrong. TayserMahiri: 1 Like |

Not in one index - but so many indices Nigeria lies comfortably with Burudi, Niger, Chad, DRC & Central Africa. Kenya as always lies up there with progressive nations - South Africa, Rwanda, Botswana, Mauritius, Namibia, Ghana, Senegal, Cote-divoire - in SSA - and most of Arab Nation of North Africa - of course.

Marsabit Town in Kenya's remote north is slowly growing into a beautiful Metropolis with excellent infrastructure. Kenya's north is quickly starting to thrive after a decade of serious and very deliberate government focus and devolution of resources. A decade ago if you were offered a parcel of land in this town you would be hesitant to take it. Now the North also has Oil, Phew! The population density of this area is 4 persons per square Kilometer. In fact, many areas here have a human population density that rivals that of the moon. 2 Likes

The most famous resident of Marsabit was Ahmed the Elephant. He was so famous that the then president, Jomo Kenyatta, declared he be given presidential protection via decree. He still remains as the most famous elephant in Africa to date. He was famous for his giant size and giant tusks, which led people like me to speculate he carried the condition Mammothinitis, the quality of having mammoth genes (their distant cousins). lol am kiddin, theres no such condition. ![]() ![]() ![]() The great animal now stands outside the National Museum, mounted in fiberglass and resin. He died aged 55, meaning he lived as long as men in Nigeria expect to live in 2018 ![]()

TayserMahiri: I watched this on Aljazeera yesterday. But the kind of poverty I saw in this Turkana community was terrible. They were like people living in the stone age. A particular girl was shown, she had to walk 30 minutes just to fetch some very dirty water from a hole. I hope the communities and county govts get a lot of derivation from this oil wealth cos it would be very unfair for all the wealth to go to Nairobi. 2 Likes |

Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by rvp20182: 4:52pm On Jun 04, 2018 |
That very true - Turkana are basically the wretch of earth. But with oil they are getting 30% of it. But yeah at one point 98% of Turkana were poor. Now after devolution and the last decade of investment - poverty has come down to 70%. The whole of Northern Kenya requires a marshall plan and I am glad that seem to be happening now. We need to complete LAPSSET so these areas can be opened up for investments, tourism, for security and generally to unleash the 2/3 of kenya that is now too remote. Nowenuse: 2 Likes |

TayserMahiri: From discovery to market was a mere 6 yrs,actually very very short. No corners were cut as the locals have been included in all production sharing agreements to avoid issues seen in a certain W African country. I also hear more deposits have been made in Narok,Pokot and Baringo but are yet to be properly quantified. Uganda discovered oil on the DRC border in 2006 and was supposed to have a pipeline running to Lokichar to save costs but M7 as usual conned us and is making a one man show of everything slowing down his own production plans. Once we have our pipeline running imo it'll be difficult to build the Ug/Tz pipeline. Rvp20182,unaonaje? Dangotelanders,just think what we can do with modest oil money of 3.5 bn$ annually,seeing what we've achieved with tea,coffee,flowers ,real estate and tourism? WHOOOOOA!
