Like Nigeria you engage in bottom of the food chain cereals - where you plant 10 times the size of land we do - to produce about the same quantity. Our productivity is nearly 3 times yours. And we are transitioning from useless beans, maize and rice - to highly profitable crops. That big difference. You have 10 times Kenya arable land and all you do is grow poor quality rice, beans and maize.

You dedicate nearly half of you land to plant maize - and all you can do is mere 5M metric tonnes. We do it on very small scale and we manage easily 3.5-4.5M metric tonnes.The maize you produce are of such low quality - it fetches about 1/3 or even worse of kenyan maize -- and we can only buy to blend it with our high quality maize.

You have Africa's worst yield per hectare for nearly all cereals (maybe with exception of the beans from Kagera region).

In short all Tanzania seem to do is to expend the least energy and brain growing the most basic of stuff.

rvp2018:
You don't want us to talk about Sisal and seaweed Let talk about your dirty cheap cereals that you sell to us. Why would we continue to grow rice, beans and maize - when we can easily buy from you - and instead focus on horticulture, floricluture, tea, coffee, dairy, nuts and such very rewarding agriclutural ventures?.

When it comes to hunger and malnutrition - kindly check the stats again. And then be ashamed because in kenya it's only in ASAL north where people struggle to feed themselves...kenya is 2/3 semi-arid - while you land is 2/3 arable - and yet you're still malnourished.

If kenya had your arable land - we would be competing with the Brazils or Canadas... but you guys are too lazy and too illeterate to use thaat land. Keya's arid and semi-arid regions make up 80 percent of the country’s land area...and yet we still kick arse globally in agricluture.

The truth is that, Nigeria is beautiful than Kenya. Take it or leave it.

[s]Firstly, it's a bit of a jerk move arrogating victory to yourself in an argument with delusional claims about "dealing with" or "schooling" someone. Juvenile, playground, embarrassing stuff. Perhaps, allow others do that for you based on their own appraisal of the cogency and lucidity of your points. Else, you just look desperate.[/s]

Secondly, there was never a place I claimed Hong Kong wants nothing to do with China. That was a specific claim I made about Taiwan, which is true. For Hong Kong, I specifically said the overwhelming majority of the population favor it's broad autonomy from China, while an emerging youth population favour a complete break. But I guess when you're more interested in one-upmanship, deliberately misrepresenting one's argument and arguing against the strawman you fabricated is the way to go.

A German has
nothing to brag about over a Norwegian or Swiss,
just because his country is bigger - neither would
any Japanese, South Korean or Taiwanese swap
their countries for China. Hence why Taiwan (who
are ethnic Han Chinese) have resisted China's
attempts to annex it and why Hong Kong has never
wanted anything to do with China.

You continue with the distinctions about currency, as if that changes anything about your absurd, broad claim that autonomy is the same thing as independence in politics. Again, autonomy has degrees of power separation and not every autonomous enclave have the same levels of autonomy. Hong Kong is the only autonomous region of any country in the world with its own currency. This makes it an exception. An extreme. You cannot define autonomy by employing an exception. The same way Nigeria's Federal system of government massively differs in structure from America's Federal system, or the same way the Danish or Finnish socialist model is different from the Venezuelan socialist model. You're only exhibiting a limited grasp of the nuances of political terms and systems, and thinking you're scoring any points with pedantry.

I didn't drop any claim. I'm not sure whether you expect me to keep chanting it like I'm reciting the rosary. I said I didn't give a shiit what TI's Corruption Perception Index states. For one, TI has an army of critics of its methodology. Secondly, by the nature of perception indexes, it is not based on hard statistical numbers, but "perception" in an array of categories. Thirdly, if you put so much faith in such indexes, this thread should have beeof shut a long time ago considering Nigeria ranks below Kenya in the UN Human Development Index. That should be enough to shut every other argument.

And I'm sorry I bored you with my personal anecdote. Though I suspect, you'd have found it more favorable if the tale was about a negative experience in Nairobi. But apologies for the crime.

Nowenuse:


Sorry. I mistook you for Omambala. A notorious Igbo supremacist here on this thread and nairaland at large.

jaycent:
Because the arguement is meaningless!

Daejoyoung:

Congrats, though at least Nigerians most educated immigrants in the U.S, at least that one is precise. Hardworking is a meaningless word.

OMANBALA1:



I am a supremacist because I am proud of my homeland ? I have always said Africans and Nigerians precisely are very dull. Little wonder Nigeria elected an uneducated, unexposed and witless octogenarian as a President. Keep my mention off your mouth please.

obaaderemi:
Well,I don't see that as arrogating victory to myself.And "dealing with" as I see it means I've had dealings with you on that before which I proved for all to see. If it angers you,sorry Sah.

Oga Obikenobi,softly softly with your lies o @the bolded. No be you talk this one below in glorious color? I am the last person to be interested in fabrication and oneupmanship. But please don't twist things here to wriggle out.

Those distinctions are actually important as Nowenuse has shown you at great length. I am not interested in giving an extra treatise on that.Sorry.

And my friend, when you use the word "Autonomy" in politics you are referring to independence.

Of course you will take it when Nigeria is ranked below Kenya or even Somalia in any developmental index but the TI ranking Nigeria above and better than any other country in corruption level? Then you will remember the methodology is questionable. Kwantinu.

Personally I don't care if you say anything negative about any place be it Kenya, Ghana, Somalia or Nigeria. It's just that your blanket and prejudicial comments were childish to say the least. On your personal anecdote, that's actually your problem and what I said was just brotherly advice.

wizzzmike:




I laugh and it's funny when lazy youth Nigerians call us Ghanaians lazy

gallivant:


Be honest with yourself.

sufferNsmiling:


Ghanaians are not lazy at all. One of the things I like about ghanaians is they are willing to learn. Anybody which is hardworking nigerians will run them down and start making fun of them.

gallivant:


Africans are not dull. If they were dull they would allow miscreants like you to run a mock. Your type only strengthens our resolve to crush or simply ignore your little silly movements. Just the fact that Igbos feel superior on nothing guarantees zero surport in Africa. Your Biafra is a pipe dream.

OMANBALA1:


You should be the last person to talk about African brotherhood, you witless ffool. Secondly, I dont see how Igbo found it way into your post. Haven't you just proved me right that most Africans are unintelligent....lol

rvp2018:
Digital lending that is happening now in Kenya is the cutting-edge stuff these nigerians bozo cannot comprehend. They are so backward - it no wonder they are siamese twins with our lazy & primitive southern neighbours TZ.

Kazikazi:
Your southern neighbours are teaching u..are feeding u; they hosted u as refugees each time u held ur elections! We even helped ur tribalist nation to have peace but yet u r insulting. You are a fool.period

obaaderemi:
I am going to take the trouble to reply you because you sound like someone who is smart and calm,not like the old idiots Kikuyu1 and rsvp who know nothing about economics. They should face their fundi vocations. [b]Yes, what you see in that chart relates to household debt and I want you to pay attention to how it affects national economies. Higher household debt like in the case of little India Kenya results in more consumption by households and individuals and a larger share of your economic output coming from consumption . At the same time it results in your country running a current account deficit with the rest of the world especially the western world and China. I tried to discuss this with rsvp and Kikuyu in the past but they thought we were enemies and couldn't learn anything from one another. They were ignorantly boasting about Kenya's trade deficit. The illiterates!
So,your imports increase with consumption making up a larger share of the imports. For example, a 20year old Nairobi boys gets a loan and immediately spends it on a second hand Nike shoes . Check Kenya's balance of trade and you will be dismayed unless you are one of the economic illiterates here. FYI, the world bank and IMF are already warning Kenya. Plus the fact that the whole thing is a big danger to your already puny banking sector. So you see why sensible people came up with that chart and why I have posted it. Honestly, I have not said all of this to shame Kenyan education but for the benefit of a few sensible Kenyans who might be students[/b].

Hbuyosh:


The operating word in that headline is "May", meaning unless something is done about the situation, the 3.5m people would starve. But did 3.5million Kenyans really starve? No, cos our govt always has contingency measures to offset the situation, mainly by stockpiling foods from various places including your poor, malnourished Tanzania.....
