Most of the countries in your list have had a coup one time or the other. Give me a list of disciplined, well paid professional armies. Don't give me bandits in uniform.

That's the latest army ranking.It has nothing to do with coups or else Zambia army would not be ranked higher than yours.Your excuse is silly.

TayserMahri,

How is your and the country in general preparation for the upcoming African cup of nations? Do you have plan to physically go there?

I think we are doing a commendable job so far. The squad is in Paris France prepping. They have at least two friendlies with DR Congo and Madagascar there, though I understand one of them will be in Madrid (hopefully at the Wanda Metropolitano ). That should be the second major clash in Spain after the Liverpool one . There was an issue with the Japanese club refusing to let go of one of our foremost strikers Olunga (the one of the rocket when we last met). But I understand Kashiwa Reysol have finally released him. I dont have plans of flying to Cairo unless you want us to go. We can make plans. I know you are behind team Kenya Our motto is Obama-inspired - Yes We Can.

If you insist, I will agree the Zambian military is ahead of Kenya. A free token. In spirit of good sportsmanship. Free goal. Fair play. You get my gist?

In fact, Nigerian soldiers had to come save your skinny asses in Kenya during the world wars.

Combat deployments
East Africa
The first Nigerian units to see combat in WWII
served in the British campaigns in East Africa . In
1940, the 1st (West Africa) Brigade was the first
Nigerian unit to be deployed against the Axis
Powers in Kenya.

.

Nigeria has always known as an oil destination but the govt is trying to also make it a minning destination that can be recognised by the world. Since last year govt have been on the move all over the world looking for investors to invest in our minning sector and last time I checked about 7 foreign companies and local companies are establishing their minning company down here . This can only tell you one thing that the sector is been "privatised".which means it would have effect on the lives of ordinary nigerians.

Now let move to oil. You asked me what we have done with our oil, let me answer that by saying that over the last 40 years oil has been controlled by our government and not the private sector which tells you that our wealth has been on the hands of corrupt officials who are only interested in their pockets. All this years we ignored repairing our four refinery due to corruption and also ignored the gas sector that would have saved us now that oil price is down. But still nigeria is the largest economy in africa despite the fact that it's oil has been the only source of income and it's still remit alot of cash to get refined oil along side the ignorance of the gas sector. Now I ask you if oil laced with corruption alone could make us the largest economy what happens when we include the gas sector which has now been privatised alongside oil sector (DANGOTE REFINERY, SAUDI ARABIA REFINERY, NIGERIA LNG TRAIN 7) let's not forget minning sector,manufacturing sector,agriculturAl sector,aviation,telecommunications, banking sector and many more.
Instead of asking us that jealous question of what we have done with our oil, why not ask yourself what kenya has done with it resourcesless land all this years.
Let me cite Singapore as an example.
Singapore is also a resourceless country just like kenya and it had 95% of it population living in poverty after its independence in the year 1965. It was also colonised just like kenya but developed itself over the years to become one of Asia pride, I mean with a population of just 4million it's has a gdp of over $300bn plus while Kenya with a population of 50million has just $89bn.
Kenya has more chances at being greater than Singapore because if it's population and young workforce. That the reason why i laugh when you guys attach success story to kenya cause those two words does not go along with what kenya currently is.
So I ask you MR TAYER what have you also done with your resourcesless land?

Ok But you have been in the thread long enough to know the proclamation "Nigeria is largest economy in africa " is a joke to most of us. Nations with your caliber of GDP look like it. You on the other hand naah Goodness! Just look at Nigeria. I hope you say it tongue in cheek.
As for us, we have used our resourcelessness to become the largest non-mineral-based economy in Africa. If I may put that in other words, Kenya is the largest brain-intensive economy in Africa. Why we are not like Singapore is a whole different matter. In the African context we are brainiacs. Though to be honest if we could fast forward this convo into the future, say 2080, you would flip the question around and ask Singaporeans why they arent like Kenya. We are heading to the very top.

Kazikazi:
They must thank that British SAS dude for saving them. Otherwise, al shabaab were going to occupy the whole land

When they saw the British soldiers, the Kenyan soldiers hailed him with shouts of "Our Mzungu has come!"

Remember,when alshabab attacked the Westgate mall,the Kenyan soldiers were shooting one another in error instead of the terrorists. And they wonder why KDF is poorly ranked.

Some countries like Algeria are an enigma wrapped in a mystery. That country has excellent infrastructure and military but yet their internet penetration is a meagre 49 %. How do things work in that country? How is that possible?

Victory Parade Nairobi 1945

There could never be a victory parade in countries like Nigeria and Tanzania that are eternally at the periphery of world affairs. Nigerians had to be flown in to Kenya to dine at the high table of global affairs. Tanzanians on the other hand were vehemently pro-Nazi and lost Many of the elderly Kenyan veterans will tell you how they flogged those bloody Nazis in Tanganyika during WWII.

It was rwanda and Uganda who want to overthrow kabila until SADC countries include Tanzania interfere.
This is a pic of Kabila Tanzania National Service.( JKT) Kabila came to Tanzania with his father at 10yrs old left with 30yrs old.

Yet you still couldn't even influence their last elections. Kenya supported Tshisekedi and he won. You see why Tanzania will always be the beast of burden. Thats the problem of using might instead of brains. Without firing a gun we installed a man as president of Congo. Now we are set to benefit immensely from their mineral wealth. In fact we are already benefiting. But you? Decades of clandestine and overt military and intelligence intervention and the Congolese still cant listen to a Tanzanian speaking. They think you are weak. They would rather overlook you and kneel at Kenya's high table.

rvp20182:
one ambush cannot be the yardstick when Kenya overtook alshaabab from most of its southern Territories including their hq Kismayo in few months with little causalities despite us and Brits misgivings . Uganda and Burundi army were moving one inch a day in Mogadishu and to this day have only secured the presidential palace and the airport.Mogadishu is under nearly daily attacks while Kismayo is thriving..a vassal state of Kenya ...jubaland is cooking

Even in the unfortunate ambush KDF still killed over 500 Alshabaab.

Nice.kenya still leads.

Ednited can you recommend ethnic federalism to any african country

No. I mean, that's just a killer. I think we Africans should come together, make a research and come up with a system that fits us. Not using alternatives the white people have made for themselves.

Jonraid:


I guess you shouldn't!

Why not? No one calls me mother Theresa when I do that

TayserMahri:


Which stuffs if I may ask.

On my school project and all

rvp20182:
Their kwacha has collapsed and that is bad news.Nigeria is actually trying. Hahahaha The same with Sudan.Kaput.Kenya is now easily the 3rd biggest sub Saharan economy.

Angola uses Kwanza. Kwacha is Zambian

Wait................are you getting influenced by Kumamoto when we are trying to get him to change?

Mauritania is not Kenya!

Kazikazi:
Don't complicate "stuffs".We Africans never drew our maps.These were done by your white masters.They did what pleased them.We adopted these maps and African union states agreed not to temper with pre independence boundaries. in case of Somalia vs Kenya,the colonial map says it all.

Its not that the somalia wants a new map.no.They want what was there since colonial times to remain. Mauritania have that kind of situation and agreed to be the same way the colonialists left them with.Have u seen cameroonia's boundaries? Or Nigeria's?

NairobiWalker:


Angola uses Kwanza. Kwacha is Zambian

Yes the Angola Kwanza and economy is going through the Nigeria disease of depending on one sector.The broad based well diversified economy like Kenya bis harder to take down...next we need to overtake Morroco in 3-4yrs..the aim for Algeria.

No wonder Congo has been a failure with him(Kabila).He studied from the daft fellas(Tanzania). Tsishe with all the Kenya's blessings would do a great job than him I reckon!

Officials from Lesotho’s Ministry of Education and Training are in the country on an eight day benchmarking exercise of the newly introduced Competency Based Curriculum (CBC).

Speaking on Monday a t Jogoo House Nairobi, Head of Lesotho Delegation, Bertha. M. Seutloali said that this exercise would help them not only learn from Kenya as a country on the implementation of the new Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) but also improve their education system.

“Like Kenya we are also having a paradigm shift in education. We started these reforms in education in 2012.We were able to get a loan from the World Bank in 2016 which will enable us improve our institutions,” Seutloali said.

She added that absenteeism, high levels of dropout and repetition in their schools and also poor performance in all levels prompted them to seek to improve the education system.

“We identified 312 primary schools which we wish to improve. We are also willing to share our experiences with you so that you can learn from us too,” she added.

The Kenya Primary Education Development (PRIEDE) Project Coordinator, Martha Ekirapa commended the country for the competency based Learning and Policy sheet in terms of provision of textbooks.

“In terms of provision of textbooks to the learners, all our children now have textbooks in the ratio of 1:1 where each student has a textbook for himself/herself and our institution. PRIEDE has been given the responsibility of facilitating the distribution across the country,”Ekirapa said.

She stated that major presentations will be held at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) where both teams will engage positively.

“Since most of you want to see the impact the school improvement programme has had in the country, we shall take you to a field trip tomorrow. The trip will involve visiting two counties which are close to Nairobi; that is Kirinyaga and Embu so that you are able to see the impact of community involvement in school management,” she said.

According to Ekirapa, Lesotho is the fourth country benchmarking in the country after Malawi, Zambia and Somalia.The benchmarking will last till June 9.

samorobo:


Whatever... don't ask us what we have done with our oil cause you haven't done any better with your resourceless land. So what are your govt plans to develop your resourceless land

We have done better with our resourceless land

We beat many african countries in every development index including nigeria and tanzania which have plenty of natural resources

samorobo:


I honestly don't see any reason why I should be jealous.
It not as if it has added anything to your gdp. Like I said it just a mere award be it wooden or glassy.

As four our tourism we have privatised some of our parks, resort, and also we are building our standard world class safari at centenary city through the help of some white south africa company

It will add something in our the countries which scoop the awards will attract more tourists hence increased revenue and employment

samorobo:


Abuja is beautiful.
The first pics looks like table mountain cape town

I was surprised, we also something like that in our capital

samorobo:


Yeah sure uyo roads are wonderful.
Uyo is also freaking clean

This is what I call greenery not forest

Exactly

If someone tells you Nigeria has one of the best armies in Africa, slap him to bring sense back into his head before he goes mad.
