Kenya's SportPesa - Arguably Africa biggest betting firm and quickly racing to become a global player - to sponsor F1 Team Racing Point - 30M dollars sponsorship.

SportPesa is understood to be paying $8 million for its first year followed by $10m in 2020 and a further $12m if they remain for 2021

rvp2018:
While Nigeria couldn't afford to conduct census - Kenya which has conducted census every 10yrs - is set to spend about 180M dollars to conduct a comprehensive paperless census using 160,000 digital devices this august.

Nigeria stats like anything Nigerian is unreliable.

you are absolutely right.

In 1921 when the first census was conducted.

Nigeria Population: 1921 census.
1] Hausa/Fulani - 2,000,000 [Including Kano: 1,112,000]
2] Yoruba ---------- 2,113,000
3] Igbo ------------- 3,927,000
4] Edo ----------------- 472,000
5] Ibibio --------------- 960,000
6] Ijaw ----------------- 174,000.

In this modern times, just Google the population of ijaw and that with Edo.

You'll see the fraud called Nigeria

They do but not that much it seems!

tylann:

You mean those alliances don't profit airlines in any way

Speaks volumes that Kenyans had the largest delegation to Tsishekedi's swearing in which both had Uhuru and Raila. Ruto was aforetime in Congo too.

Seems there is an interest in both Mozambique and Congo. This two countries are mineral rich. Humphrey Kariuki already has ties with Mozambique. We are yet to know fully Nairobi's intentions on this two countries!

kikuyu1:



Pedestrian-as to be expected from our media. Tutsis ,Belgium and France have indirectly ruled through their proxies for 2 decades,killing millions and stealing resources worth billions. Will they accept the new status? Imo, the DRC is even more important to V 2030 than S Somalia-do you know their known mineral reserves are 20 tn$?? The sooner this unhappy place is under our orbit,the better.

TayserMahri:
So Nigeria sent a special envoy Ibrahim Agboola to Kenya with a delegation to convey a message of condolence and goodwill following the terrorist attack at 14 Riverside Drive, Nairobi. Nice.

Hoping they live in Kenya, otherwise its another ripoff. Obviously we're close friendly allies facing similar problems but you just cant get on a plane and travel 3000 Miles to deliver a condolence message in this day and age. Unless Kenya is too special in your hearts.

Nigerians and several other African countries are going thru hell, the killings and instabilities are too much and the world is ignoring them...
Kenya is a very special country that the world pays attention to...

Nigerian census like it's stats are rigged. The population is probably 150M - not 200M.Lagos city probably has 7-8M - not 20M the state governor claims. The economy is ridiculously overstated. The agriculture sector is the most inflated.

Thanks, Michael Joseph recently spoke of KQ needing an overhaul. Maybe this withdrawal was part of that!

Yobeezy:


As for me I think the Airline KQ shouldn't withdraw itself from the Skyteam alliance because alliances do assists its members in some way or the other like reduced economies of scale and boost in efficiency thus the member airlines will incurr little cost to run their operations to some extent.
On the other hand,KQ should continue joint venturing with other airlines such as KLM Royal Dutch Airlines,Air France and just last year Delta of the US carrier signed a partnership deal with KQ in prior launching of Nairobi New York direct flights,this has enabled KQ to expand its routes around the world and also codesharing to further increase connectivity.

For now we can leave the plans being uncemented but I think KQ isn't supposed to withdraw itself from the alliance even if it rakes in little profit from there.

Nigeria has a population less than a 100 million if the real census are conducted.

Many people you think are Nigerians aren't really them. Many northerners are from Cameroon, Niger, Chad, they come here to vote and cause violence on election day.

This country is cursed.

same moniker, was only defending this useless country because of self pride

Even their states budget are a big joke. Imagine coming up with a budget of more than 60% your states IGR( internally generated revenues)

Other states 'tried' and their budget didn't go past 40% of their revenues.

They like creating big impressions about things that don't really exist!

do you really think the west really care about African development, our woes are their succes one just need to listen to news networks and one will seldom see an African country making headline news for anything but its internal strife, war or some rampant plague like Ebola. War is often a cause of “influence”, but obviously for all the wrong reasons.

Nigeria's population is 20m-50m Max.

And states do not claim population, NBS does.

And I told you IGR is not the only source of income for the states, they do get Federal allocation too.

Anyway kwantinue

CIA, IMF, WB and name them have no option but accept whatever Nigeria says is their stats. They cannot come and count Nigeria or it's economic activities so they can verify. Generally countries want to get those stats right for their own planning sake.

NBS that has not held one credible census since Nigeria became independent. I think the only credible one was initial results of 1962 census undertaken by the British consultant.

You see Oil revenue is great incentive to lie. As long oil is the main (used to be 95%) of gov revenue - then every states will manipulate the stats. NBS staff will work with their states to inflate their population figures.

In Kenya we recently saw some attempts - to inflate population - but this is mostly by refugees in some counties - passing themselves for kenyans. KNBS disputed those figures - about 1M - but they counties went to court and got judgement. So as of today Kenya population is inflated by around 1-2M.

This year because we are having devolution that shares national taxes to 47 counties - we might see Nigeria like attempts to manipulate census. But thanksfully this is digital and data will be transmitted daily.

What's your note on this?

wasnt following much on the congo stuff till i saw uhuru,raila,Ruto even kalonzo prepare for inauguration..i was whats the dang is ths..he just an opposition dude who just won election in a rich country duuh someone talked about Kenya being the link for minerials from congo heading to china..guess its happening..i might be also wrong you know

Where will the money come from? One of your officials posed when he saw the ridiculous budget proposals by the states. The fed is already stretched. With all those years practising federalism,you should have by now cracked how the states will no longer be relying on the fed government.

When we said that our counties receive allocations from the central government,you couldn't fathom how that could even be possible. You went on saying how your states budgets are independent from the fed government one! Little did we know that your states look up at the fed govt for additional funding!

its like internet never reached naija ...why cant naijas just for transparency in some ofths stuff....

The most ridicolous was cross-river state budget this year. It jumped from 300B Naira to 1.2 trillion Naira surpassing even Lagos

The whole Nigeria budget is classic nigerian - delusional.

You still have no reasons to believe otherwise, CIA is an America inteligent unit which is much interested in Nigeria figure for economical reasons, it makes them plan ahead in the matter of investment or any issues that relate to economical benefit. . there was a time Nigeria was recorded to be a suitable ground to japan for a direct investment . these are part of tbe statistics study to come with such conclusion.

Lagos state roughly may even be more than that figure, if uncounted figure like thousands of birth and deaths that still go unrecorded on a daily basis are factored in.

And why are you explaining yourself? I already agreed with you. Nigeria's population is 20-50m Max.

sufferNsmiling:
I am now in Ghana for holiday.I am shocked with the amount of Nigerians sex workers in Ghana and they look to be suffering .some of them have not change their whee in 6 months

it is surprising how they even get here

Why not 0-1M. Why 20-50M max. You see if you went to school and have something btw your ears you won't throw figures carelessly. I have a reason why I think Nigeria population is 150m. I also have a reason why I think it's economy is 200B tops.

Ibrahimanis:

First I don't even know what CIA you're talking about because you gave me a dead link. But I know no official body like CIA or IMF will engage Nigeria on it's fake numbers. Academians have that license though.

you haven't give a valid reasons as to why the number is fake, you cant just compose a statement and hold it as true. if you have gotten the fact that is opposite of that figure, present it here , and lets examine it.
