Genius. .you have destroyed him.
So their gdp.is just $56bn.
I think you should still clap for me. I tried when I said $50bn, I was just $6bn short

$56bn is too big for a tiny country like Kenya.
You are too lenient and magnanimous with your stats.

NigeriaIsDoomed:
we help them na wahala we no help still wahala. Na envy and bitterness go kee these ugly and starving little indians

The thing just taya me

Ogbeni, Kenya is like a short folk who must make noise so that others can see them. Ask yourselve why short people talk a lot.
Kenya is just too tiny for Nigeria.
I wish I could meet the stewpid creature that created this thread comparing that tiny, hungry and starving people home with Nigeria, the Giant of Africa.

Hahahaha I am still coming with more (iibc).
Getting news on iibc is really hard.those guys has done a pretty good job in concealing the project from the media so it would be like a surprise to the world.
I got news from a reputable source that kinda works there he said they have finished land reclamation and are 75% done with all the roads and bridges in the city.
He said the minute you enter the city you must submit evert digital gadget so you dont take images of the city out.

It will be a surprise to the world when this is completed. Trust me.
I will be back with a video of the little progress they managed to put on the internet

Hahaha our lekki dear sea port will be completed this year and we will start enjoying it next year. Enjoy that lekki free trade zone video and it's progress




How Lekki Port will boost economy

With the financial muscle of the China Development Bank (CDB) behind it, the Lekki Port in Lagos is set for smooth sailing. When completed, an estimated 170,000 direct and indirect jobs will be created there. Besides, about $361 billion will be realised during the 45-year concession, including over $201 billion in taxes to the Federal and state governments, writes MUYIWA LUCAS.

The Lekki Deep Sea Port in Lagos Free Trade Zone on completion will boost the nation’s maritime trade in addition to lifting its ranking in port development globally. It will also provide an estimated 170,000 direct and indirect jobs beside helping to boost the Gross Domestice Product (GDP).


With the huge economic potential of the port, which will be among the top ports on the continent, the future of maritime in Nigeria is rosy. The port will host three container berths, one dry bulk berth and three liquid berths with a draught of 16.5 metres that will take larger vessels.

Lekki port will boost the nation’s port system, which lags behind the likes of Singapore, which ranks as one of the world’s leading maritime capitals with seven per cent of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from maritime, and South Africa, which has a port system comparable to those of developed economies in sophistication, regulation and technology; hence the widespread inefficiencies in the region.

Nigerian ports are rated among the most expensive in the world in terms of doing business. This is due to a combination of several factors, including poor infrastructure, inefficiency and corruption. The Lekki port on completion will change the narrative of Nigerian maritime.

Stakeholders have, over the years, insisted that the sector has remained largely untapped, pegging the potential from the sector at less than five per cent. Though there has been several attempts to rejuvenate the sector by successive administrations to meet global standard, the industry is still faced with many challenges, which include inadequate financing, deficit in maritime/port infrastructure, inefficiencies in terminal operations, lack of transparency and sharp practices. In the whole sector, the ports remain the biggest goldmine that can impact greatly on the economy.

Realising these inadequacies and determined to make a change, the Federal Government, in 2000, came out with policies that led to far-reaching reforms in the sector. These policies were rooted in the economic objectives of opening up space to increase the participation of private investment and initiative in the economy, thereby promoting a public-private sector-led economic growth.

As the economy continues to grow, trade volumes rose and the dependency of the economy on the ports, especially the Lagos ports of Apapa and Tin Can Island, which accounts for 85 percent of cargo traffic, became too heavy.

This led to the idea of a plan that would see to the development of Greenfield ports along Nigeria’s 853 kilometre coastline to match the country’s trade demand. One of these is the development of a deep seaport in Lekki-Epe area of Lagos State, known as Lekki Port.

Under the arrangement, an International Consortium-Lekki Port Investment Holding Inc. (Tolaram Group) holds a 75 per cent equity, while the Federal Government through Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) and the Lagos State Government, shares the remaining equity at five and 20 per cent.

The project, being executed on a Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) basis, under a 45-year concession, has the NPA as its port regulator. This arrangement, stakeholders say, will ensure that adequate legal and regulatory framework, as well as incentives, would be put in place in line with the concession agreement to avoid inconsistency and policy shifts.

The Lagos State Government has reiterated its commitment to play a key role in facilitating the ancillary works vital to the success of the port, such as enhancement of road infrastructure connections to the hinterland. With this, the chaotic situation in the Lagos ports, which has led to huge delays in clearing of goods from the ports and the parlous state of the port roads along the axis, will not be repeated in the Lekki Port.

According to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Lekki Port Investment Holding Inc., Binay Saraf, one of the unique features of the new facility, is that it would cover a large area, close to 90 hectares, within the Lagos Free Trade Zone.

Besides, it will have a draught capacity of 16.5 metres. With this, the country will be able to accommodate and berth the biggest vessels, which is impossible at the moment, due to draught constraints. At 12.5metres, Apapa port has the deepest draught in the country and Cotonu port, in the Republic of Benin, has 16m- draught capacity.

Saraf further revealed that the facility would be equipped with the latest super Post-Panamax Ship-to- Shore cranes and RTG cranes, which ensures it will be a modern efficient facility. These infrastructure will guarantee that the initial target of 1.5 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEU) container capacity yearly, expected to hit 4.7 million TEUs, will make Lekki Port the hub destination for many shipping lines in the West African markets, which will combine their destination calls to Nigeria with transshipments.

With these, Saraf is convinced that Lekki Port is positioned to serve as the gateway for the country and the surrounding West African region because the port will offer an opportunity to enter the rapidly- growing market and boosting the neighbouring economy.

Saraf further explained that the development of the Lekki Port would be in phases to meet the burgeoning trade coming from within and outside the country. “It is estimated that about 170,000 direct and indirect jobs will be generating approximately $361 billion during the concession, including over $201 billion in tax revenue to both the state and Federal governments,” he revealed.

A key feature of modern port is a world-class container terminal. To this end, Lekki Port has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with CMA CGM Group, a world leader in maritime transport, to operate its container terminal.

As the container terminal operator, CMA CGM, through its subsidiary CMA Terminals, will be responsible for marketing, operations and maintenance of the container terminal. He said with the latest technology in container’s screening and processing, the port will deliver smooth and efficient movement of goods to and from the site once the commercial activities begin in 2020 to ensure clearing of goods within 48 hours.

Determined to deliver a world-class port facility, the promoter has also engaged two global companies, China Harbour Engineering Company Limited (CHEC) and The Louis Berger Group. While CHEC, the engineering and construction arm of China Construction and Communication Company, was appointed as the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor, The Louis Berger Group, United States, one of the largest multi-disciplinary infrastructure consulting firm in the world, was hired as the project’s management consultant. Notably, China Harbour would soon have equity participation in the project, with a certain percentage to be infused soon.

“It is interesting to note that since the project berthed, the Federal Government has found it worthy to share in the success story. In several fora, it has continued to list the project as one that is in line with its Economic Recovery Growth Plan (ERGP), emphasising that it supports game-changing infrastructure projects directed at making an impact on trade and commerce in the country,” Saraf said.

At the flag-off of the project last year, President Muhammadu Buhari, represented by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, declared the Federal Government’s commitment to its success, noting its enormous economic benefits. And in line with this, the Federal Government recently directed the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), through the Federal Ministry of Transportation, to link all the seaports, including Lekki Port, to railway as possible shortest.

Upon the completion of Lekki Deep Sea project, Nigeria can stand shoulder high in the league of globally respected maritime capitals.

I personally call this the "wakanda of africa" cause it more like fantasy than reality even though it actually a reality.okay so I will be doing it like this for a better understanding of the plan of this magnificent city, so engineers in the house study the plan in the first video which is what the city would look like and then watch the second video which is an updated video on the progress of the city from August 2018, that way you can relate both videos and understand the city concept.Anyway engineers from kenya you are invited please.

Obaboon - you exceeded our expectations and you actually got to 14B - about 10B dollars less. Congratulations. You were doing great - (like we had minor disagreement on milk/tea bla 2018 quantities and prices) - but you did a somersault on 'Other Crops' for 2016 - and put a figure - you forget to do the same for 'Other livestock' - considering you only focuses on raw informal milk & meat -- But you tried - when I get time I will help you with my figures - and KNBS figures --- hopefully you'll learn something.

And then you'll take us through the Nigeria most kept secret - It's six world largest agriclutural sector - worth 80-100B.

obaaderemi:
Now to fishery.
Fishery production in Kenya has declined seriously in recent times.In fact Kenyans have to rely on cheap Chinese imports for even the commonest breeds such as tilapia.
Fish production is about 120,000 tonnes.
1tonne= 1000kg.
120,000*1000= 120,000,000kg.
Average price of fish/kg in Kenya= ksh350/ $3.5
120,000,000* $3.5== $420,000,000($420million)
$12bn+ $420mn== $12.5bn approximately

Forestry in Kenya is small as only about 6% of Kenya is forested.
So, total agricultural revenue in Kenya is about $13bn.
We can grudgingly throw in another $1bn as others that are negligible to be assessed separately. This is done a lot in economics.
Maximum Kenya's agricultural revenue== $14bn

All dreams in big plans, renderes, in papers, in software are valid. Keep dream on. But Nigeria will not amount to much until it wakes up, folds her sleeves and actually actualize those dreams - by making it happen. For now hope springs eternal.

Most importantly continue praying for OIL price to keep up because without it poverty will move from 70% to 90% pretty soon.

Child of hate chill! These are real projects.
Nigeria is not labelled the Giant of Africa for nothing, you haven't seen anything yet.
Let me break your heart dude, if you have ever thought that Kenya will measure up with Nigeria in this life, it is a wishful creation of your imagination.
There are so many projects going on right now in Nigeria as we speak, Dangote Refinery alone dwarfs all the projects in Kenya.
Dude! Kenya should look for her peer to compare herself with not Nigeria. It is an insult for anyone to make an attempt to compare that arid and famine ravaged country with a land of honey and milk.
Truth be told, Kenya is just to small for Nigeria even at our worst state.

samorobo:


C'mon shut up and go and pay your debt

We are paying our debt and borrowing

We have never defaulted

I don't hate Nigeria. I hate it's retrogressive citizens and leadership. I admire countries like Ghana, Rwanda, Botswana, South Africa and Namibia - who are progressing. You can add Kenya & even Ethiopia to that list. You pick any indicator of progress - you see those 5 or so countries always topping it in SSA - they are moving slowly to middle and developed world status. Their citizen are enjoying higher and higher quality of life. The people in those countries are more hopeful and optimistic than ever. They are not capsizing in Mediterranean seas trying to escape their country.

As for Dangote - he clearly has Nigeria in his pocket - and he is just tightening the grip - with oil & fertilizer refinery. The margins he makes from his cement company is crazy. He is obviously part of the Abuja protected businesses that Nigeria have to endure via the so called "Banned Imports". I bet his first business when he get refinery working is to lobby Abuja to ban importation of refined fuels - so he can do what he does - monopolize the market and canabalize the citizens.

I hope one day you get to ride in Dangote jet. It more likely to happen that seeing any of Nigerian big plans in renders off grounds - big dreams - big plans - zero implementation - or at best very very slow implementation.

I mean we have 8B dollar steel mill that has rusted to the ground before it produce 1 billet of steel.

You cannot engage in false hope like Samrobo. You got to face the reality. Your cannot move forward with gov budget that TINY.

Google has joined Kenyans in celebrating the 60th birthday of the late Kenyan novelist Margaret Ogola who died on September 12, 2011.

Ogola was an author, paediatrician, and a human rights advocate.

In addition to her writing career, she served as a paediatrician and the medical director of Cottolengo Hospice, a hospice for HIV and AIDS orphans.

17 & 18 floors should be celebrated by Rwanda's....what wrong with Nigerians.Nairobi alone has like 30 residential towers more than 30 floors under construction.Dont talk office space...where folks are going for 80 floors.Next time don't post anything less than 20flrs.

We told these guys about the Pinnacle as they screamed and screeched like rats with burning tails! Africa's #1 SuperTall is coming along nicely despite a court case involving a Ug shareholder. There's another one at the Coast in Watamu,the Palm to begin soon.

The building’s developers are investors from New York, South Africa and Italian billionaire Franco Rosco.
Towering at a height of 370 metres, the tower will add to the coastal town’s clout as a luxury tourism hub. Designed by Italian architect Lorenzo Pagnini, the Palm Exotjca will be a mixed use development.
The architectural design borrows from simple traditionally crafted art pieces of Kenya’s rich culture from the coast.

keep going...as of last year Kenya agriculture was 24b or around...26% of 90B gdp...you got dairy sector off by 3B..othr sectors by few points off.but let's se how far you get...I can help if you're stuck.Do cereals..maize,rice,sugar,wheat,barley, sorghum,millet...then go to tubers...Irish and sweat potato..go to bananas.. then go fishing...then forestry and tree farming...I can help even with bee keeping data...even livestock you just did meat value add...you're still got some livestock to do..eggs, chicken, pigs...keep going.

At least he's trying! Its much more difficult than he imagined,even for a genuine researcher. THE VALUE CHAIN (that term again!) is much deeper than most can even estimate. Eg,cow dung-A 10 ton load is 300 $ as we speak. How many truckloads are bought daily in Kenya?

Obaaderemi,I tried to tell you about self praise:

(Most) people suffer from low self-esteem issues and in the absence of other people’s validation/approval they feel lowly and start suffering from inferiority complex. To buck up their deflated spirits they resort to techniques like posturing and projecting a false but exaggerated image of theirs with the belief that with self-aggrandizement they would be taken more seriously and regarded highly than they were without it … hence the self-indulgence of self praise

So whenever You see a person singing paeans to himself/herself read him/her as screaming I feel inadequate … help me feel better by giving Me some validation

https://www.quora.com/Why-do-people-indulge-in-self-praise

I know its not just the likes of fellow comedians you want-you see writing is unconsciously cathartic for some. Your motivation for validation is deeper than you yourself know. At least I had to try!
