LOL. Now they are afraid of flying . You see they tried to con their way out of Air Tz old debts by claiming the new aircraft belong to the gov - which then leases it to the airline. But apparently the gov is also indebted.

Nigeria should not even dare fly abroad. The Irish conman has 9B dollars bill waiting for Nigerians.

You manufacture drugs. Confirm that the whole of Pretoria is Tanzanian drug territory as explained in this video

Stop sucking things out of your thumb...
African foreigners do not make up even close to 9% of SAs gdp....... They don't even make up 1%!!

Kazikazi:
Go Tanzania Go

Kazikazi:
Do u think they can fight with the communists? We don't fly to SA due to looting and xenophobia. We will resume when things are calm.Do u want our air hostesses to get injuries?should we loose these kind of ladies because of xenophobia?

Mkenya2019:
Kenya made 1.57B from international tourism receipts with more tourist than TZ. TZ always claim to make twice kenya with half the tourists. I find such allegations incredulous.

Kazikazi:
Tanzania's tourism competes with south Africa's. Kenyan tourism depends on local travelers.While Tanzania's tourism is way way ahead with more international visitors.Tanzania has more tourist attractions than any nation in Africa.Tanzania is more peaceful.Kenya's tourism was destroyed by Somali militatants.blame Al shabaab.

Go Tanzania go

Kazikazi:
Look at this kibera fool! But let me give you a glimpse of things..

A guy from Rwanda owns a cigarette manufacturing plant in gauteng.
Dangote owns cement plant
Tanzania's Azam has a food manufacturing plant in Durban
A Cameronian owns a 5 star hotel and an estate in port Elizabeth,he is said to be the richest in that city
Another cameroonian owns more than 5 storey buildings and a shopping complex in Pretoria.There are many more who are unknown.
Ethiopian and Somalians are wholesalers of foodstuffs and clothing. Many Africans have bought shares in JSE
Cape town upmarket homes which are owned by these Africans are numerous
There are about 3 million African foreigners in SA,some of them are doctors,teachers who owns schools,engineers, traders,and others who are importing and exporting stuff.You can hardly see an idle foreigners in SA.
Its easily estimated,the African foreigners contribute about 9 to 10% of SA GDP

NairobiWalker:


Dude, stop going round in circles over nothing trying to impress people with your stupidity. Your plane was held, I don't care which plane it was - the point is, it was held. The last time I tried to engage you in real engineering you faltered like a pig. Just stop.

jln115:

My friend go do your research before making a fool out of yourself like @Samorobo.

The total contributions off all Immigrants(including short term immigrants who work in SA for only a few months) in SA is less than 9%.....but you want to tell just African immigrants who only make around 40% of legal working immigrants in SA contribute 10% to GDP??.......Cool story bro!!

Kazikazi:
You have never been to SA.But let me help you..
Most African foreigners in SA are not employed.Mostly are self employed.And you should know most monies in the world is made out of employment! You can't be rich by working to someone.

As I said,it is an estimation.We don't have a clear numbers on the real wealth of these African foreigners

Kazikazi:
Which engineering do u know? I started engaging you on sillicates,you fumbled.I have no time for u.fake engineer

jln115:
my bro I am South African....

And yes there are very clear statistics on the matter.

jln115:
my bro I am South African....so understands his sense of accomplishment when he speaks stuff south african.

And yes there are very clear statistics on the matter.

jln115:
my bro I am South African....

And yes there are very clear statistics on the matter.

NairobiWalker:


Lol

Which institution did you study for one? ..........and which discipline exactly did you study?

PS.

The word is silicates and that's more of geology and Chemistry than Engineering. At least learn what engineering is before pretending to be one.

rvp20182:
If you must know; Tanzanian dream is to get to South Africa so KaziKazi has already "arrived" when he got to your country.

NairobiWalker:


My husband will learn the definition of precipitation and next minute claim to be a meteorologist. Here we just laugh at him. He is the resident fool on this thread. Ignore him.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
please everybody read this you can see Nigeria does not have a economy the largest food importer in the world



Ifeanyi Onuba, Abuja



The Senior Agriculture Economist, World Bank, Dr Adetunji Oredipe, on Thursday said the neglect of the agricultural sector when Nigeria’s economy became increasingly dependent on oil has proved to be a “disaster”.

He said if Nigeria had held to its market share in palm oil, cocoa, groundnut and cotton, the country would be earning at least $10bn annually from these commodities.

Oredipe said this while delivering a keynote address at the agriculture summit Africa in Abuja, sponsored by Sterling Bank Plc.

The event was attended by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo who was represented by the Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, Mustapha Shehuri; Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs Paulen Talen; Governor of Kebbi State, Atiku Bagudu; Chairman of Sterling Bank Plc, Asue Ighodalo; and the Managing Director of Sterling Bank Plc, Abubakar Suleiman.

Painting a picture of the country’s agricultural sector, the World Bank agric economist said Nigeria was now one of the largest food importers in the world.

He said in 2016 alone, Nigeria spent $965m on the importation of wheat, $39.7m to import rice and $100.2m on sugar importation.

Oredipe said the decision to spend $655m on fish importation seemed financially irresponsible given all the marine resources, rivers, lakes, and creeks in Nigeria.

He said, “None of the above transactions (importation of rice, fish, sugar) is fiscally, economically or politically sustainable.

“Nigeria is tragically living on borrowed time, a typical case of robbing Peter to pay.

“For instance, each time we spend money to import rice, Nigerian local rice farmers are negatively affected in terms of morale, sales, and realisable income.”

He lamented that despite the huge agricultural potential, Nigeria which used to be the major player in agriculture in the world has lost its place in the global community.

He said, “In the 1960s, we had glory. That glory was visible and significant for the global community to recognise and applaud.

“Nigeria accounted for 42 per cent of the world’s exports of shelled groundnuts. Our total export volume was 502, 000 MT.

“This declined to 356 MT by 2016. Nigeria lost her leadership position and was overtaken by the USA, China, and Argentina.

“Nigeria was also the largest exporter of palm oil in the world and accounted for 27 per cent of the global export volume for palm oil.

“Indonesia alone recorded US$16.5bn, 54.5 per cent of total palm oil exports. Unfortunately, Nigeria is not listed among the first 15 as at this moment.”

He said the huge taste of Nigerians for imported food items had also contributed to high levels of unemployment for the youths.

Oredipe said, “Food producing factories in Western world, Far East Asia and other countries employ millions of young people to produce and export food. “This is a source of livelihood and it helps the workers to live well and go to school.

To reverse this trend, he said the government must articulate a clear vision to achieve a hunger-free Nigeria, through an agricultural sector that drives income growth.

In doing this, he said the vision of the government should be to revive the rural economy by transforming Nigeria into an agriculturally industrialised economy, create wealth, jobs, and markets for farmers.

He added, “We also need to realise that it is extremely difficult to produce, process and market at the same time. It is better to specialise and pick a certain aspect to focus on.”

He also said government should rigorously and transparently evaluate all major policies and initiatives aimed at boosting agricultural development.

The economist said a closer focus on agricultural finance schemes could boost its potential to foster an enabling environment to crowd-in private investment.

“The most fundamental cause of low investment in agriculture is the low expected profitability, which stems from low productivity. Additional factors contributing to this situation include an unfavourable business climate; infrastructural deficiencies; limited access and use of long-term business credit; and the high risk of investment,” he added.

He also said there was need to address the issue of high post-harvest losses, especially for perishables such as horticulture produce.

Oredipe said Nigeria produces 1.8 million MT of tomatoes per year, accounting for 68 per cent of the total production of West Africa.

However, he added, over 45 per cent of this is lost annually due to postharvest losses.

Despite this, he said, Nigeria continued to spend over N16bn annually on tomato paste importation making the country the largest importer of tomato paste from China and Italy.

He said, “We need to find better ways to link farmers with off-takers and processers. Our off-takers imports food items being produced by our farmers because they are not aware of the products in the local market.”

The VP in his speech at the event said the Federal Government recognised the importance of the agriculture sector to food security, job creation and poverty reduction.

He said the sector was one of the priority areas of the government, adding that this was why various intervention programmes were being implemented under the Agricultural Promotion Policy.

He said, “It is heart-warming that agriculture is fast becoming the buzz across trade and investment circles particularly in the face of perennially dwindling oil prices and devaluation and the attendant desire of government to diversify the economy.

“The need to get everybody into agriculture has been one of the cardinals of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan of the Federal Government with emphasis on developing an export-led economy.

“Our agenda is to guarantee the vibrancy of the sector; agriculture must be seen as a business and haven for investment.”

Osinbajo said the government was integrating food production, storage, food processing and industrial manufacturing to establish linkages necessary in the agricultural commodity value chain.
