I wanted to see pics, n yall were not posting

N i was tired of seeing same pics of "the capital", same pics in million angles lol

Things is posting pictures can be really strenuous for me.. honestly I wonder how Kenyans do it so easily...I know how deep I have to surf through the internet to get those pics and even the ones I downloaded here I have ransack my phone just to get them......


Lol @ bolded that is so Kenya...I wonder why they love posting nairobi alot and it's even funny when one person can repeat a single image ten times a day and another person will download it and also repeat it that same day....it can be very boring honestly..

gallivant:


Special requests accepted.

The Capital

Don't you have other places in Kenya apart from Nairobi?

open the school , open the religious center, open the border and let life continue while maintaining science based solution . i.e handwatching, face mask, social distancing etc....


the virus is probably not going away soon .....

Justnotyou:
Moipei Quartet from southern Kenya, ethnic Maasai

Kikuyu1 you should wonder no more where modern Kambas, Taitas, chagga & Kikuyus get their Horner/west Eurasian genes from.

We've done this several times before. History doesn't begin with Masaai relations in today's Kenya a few centuries ago.

It lies in Egypt, N Ethiopia a place called Kuyu Woreda which is where proto Kikuyus sojourned though there was a later migration from there 1200 ad. Here's a little incl Kao history.

How Kyukes and Masaai were so culturally close many Laibons were actually Kikuyu. In fact had the Brits not landed upon us we'd have been one group by now!

What about the meru, Kambas, Taitas where do they come from? also why did you magically loose your linguistic affiliations to your ancestors living up north even though you were, presumably, surrounded by Nilo-saharan & afroasiatic speakers even while entering Kenya?

Were the Kikuyus ever extremely endogamous before? why are you so sure any genetic anomaly isn't as a result of an intermarriage/rape/assimilation?

Where does the bulk of the Niger-Congo genes come from? Why is your paternal haplogroup more than 70% E1b1a which is predominantly found with other bantu/west Africans while the cultures you're descending from are barely a 1% E1b1a, why? what happened along the way to shift you guys genetically & linguistically so much as to turn you in to the mixed people of today?

Ohh ishyt, the links aren't showing! Idk have all the answers but only the big picture. I had a SIGNIFICANT NOT MAJOR piece of this history here comparing Masaai/Kikuyu cooperation with what Boers did. A certain poster insists they're equally African!?
Anyway,here's one of the posts with links.

EXACTAMUNDO! Look at us and Masaais: Johnny Brit claimed we were dread enemies but we're culturally and physiologically indistinguishable! Though they didn't use the pictographic Gichandi script (imo resembles Igbo nsibidi;enlarge the pic)which btw was common til around the 30s til it died out after WW2 after our collective skullspace was reformatted. Routledge,an early visitor to Kikuyuland wrote "With a prehistoric People",has this example here;the only one in existence with translation.
Here's my GGGgrandfather on mum's side,Waiyaki wa Hinga,buried alive by the Brits. Like many Southern Kyukes he was adapted from the Maasaai. I met his youngest bro in 1980 when he was at least 110.

For starters, while Waiyaki is thought to have[b] hailed from the Kikuyu community, the book traces the warrior-king’s roots to the Masai of Laikipia.[/b]

The author reveals for the first time that Waiyaki’s real name was Koiyaki and that his father’s name was Kumale ole Lemotaka, from Laikipia.
https://nairobilawmonthly.com/index.php/2018/08/03/lawyer-traces-kikuyu-warrior-waiyaki-wa-hinga-to-maa-roots/

Similarly Chief Lenana of the Maasai was Kyuke!
Again, it is best presented in Leakey’s own words, “The Maasai were always particularly keen to make use of Kikuyu medicine men and diviners, and it was due to this that the Kikuyu sub-clan known as Mbari a Gatherimu gradually obtained enormous power over the Kaputei Maasai, some members of this Kikuyu family eventually becoming chiefs of this section of the Maasai tribe. The famous Maasai chief Lenana [Ol Onana] was the son of Mbatia, a Kikuyu. Mbatia was the son of Gathirimu and Lenana was the recognised chief of all the Kaputei Maasai at the time of the coming of the Europeans.”
https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/magazine/434746-509930-dpqo3a/index.html

A very interesting read on cultural links: the author assumes we dropped a matriarchical culture due to the Masaai but imo,it may have happened in S Ethiopia. The biggest takeaway is that inter tribal hostility was more of a combat sport,in no way reminiscent of White mass murder!

Not all conflicts were bloody and were occasionally resolved when two champions, one from each opposing side, stepped out before the assembled warriors and fought to the death.

The outcome was accepted as determining which side had won.

That's how it was for most Africans-the very idea of domination,conquest and mass population displacement was and still is largely foreign apart from Horners and one or two other psychologically European Africans like Tutsis . Yes,we had our differences but l;rgely we cooperated.
You'll see how R-A-P-E was practically unknown yet how were the Cape Coloureds formed? How did they get male N Euro dna?

And, they have a Northern European element, which likely came in via the Dutch, German, and Huguenot settlers (mostly males).

Anyway,its in his peoples nature to deny-to own up to even just a fraction of their crimes would be emotionally overwhelming. IIRC,JaceBlaze did the same but not as stubbornly.

Akwa Ibom Coconut Refinery, Nigeria’s Future Beckons
Wednesday, May 13th, 2020 | News

By Essien Ndueso

When Governor Udom Emmanuel set out to lubricate the once virgin well of agriculture in Akwa Ibom State with the establishment of Africa’s biggest coconut oil refinery, most people had no idea of coconut’s enormous potentials. But the Governor went ahead, displaying his propensity to plan towards an economy beyond crude oil, as if he knew that a certain Coronavirus pandemic would soon bring the world on its knees.



The St. Gabriel Coconut Oil Factory located in Ikot Ekpuk, Mkpat Enin Local Government of the State is handled by VKS Nigeria Construction Limited. The factory which has a projected capacity of processing one million coconuts a day, will commence with a starting capacity of 300,000 coconuts daily. It was flagged off by Governor Emmanuel on May 24, 2017, as part of activities to mark his second year in Office. With a projection of being a future Nigeria might have to fall back on, the refinery project is visionary because of the multi-faceted use of the coconut. As Governor Emmanuel himself put it, the coconut has over 365 uses, implying that there is a different function for the coconut in each day of the year. In cosmetics products, automobiles industry, confectionery, physiotherapy, medicine and general catering, coconut asserts itself as the future the world had longed for.

In recent years, coconut oil has emerged as a potential ‘miracle’ food and source of revenue. Some health specialists and nutritionists have asserted that the coconut oil is capable of promoting health benefits, such as weight reduction, cholesterol lowering, prevention of cardiovascular diseases, and anti-inflammatory effect, among others.

The refinery project which is currently nearing completion has enjoyed the support of host communities, implying that they acceded to the Governor’s charge when he sued for the cooperation of youths in Ikot Abasi, Mkpat Enin and Eastern Obolo and sounded a note of warning to the leaders of the community to resist the temptation of harassing the contractors in order not to frustrate the progress of the factory. As a deal, during the flag off, the State House of Assembly member for Ikot Abasi / Eastern Obolo, Honourable Uduak Ududoh had registered the gratitude of his people to the governor for keeping his electoral promises of providing employment opportunities to indigenes of the area and assured of a pact of peace.

Indeed, the employment opportunities have been encouraging. The project manager, Mr Alper Yilmaz affirmed that eventhough at 80 percent completion no fewer than 1000 people had been engaged at various stages of the project execution which is currently at the state of production line installation. Before the current pandemic, some production lines had arrived and installations are underway, albeit hampered by the Covid-19 lockdown.

This writer visited the coconut refinery project and work had indeed reached an advanced stage. An indigene of the community and Assistant Safety Officer at the project site, Unyime Oliver, expressed gratitude to Governor Udom Emmanuel for having the once neglected Mkpat Enin in his development plan, which has granted youths of the community the opportunity to use the knowledge and skills acquired in School to work. The Warehouse Manager, Ibanga Nsisong averred the project as the first of its kind in West Africa, which will rescue over 5000 unemployed youths from awarding of contracts, to direct and indirect labour. Other workers recounted the challenges of job hunting they faced before the project commenced and described the project as a welcome development that will engage and create wealth for the youths of the community and the people of Akwa Ibom State.But the Health and Safety Supervisor, Mr Aniekan Samuel Peters, went a step further when he thanked the State Government for always releasing funds for equipment to ensure an accident free working environment and prayed for the sustainability of the project beyond the lifespan of the present administration.

The refinery itself, according to the Managing Director of VKS Nigeria Construction Limited, Onur Kumral, sits on a total landmass 78,487 square meters earmarked for the refinery, and this further shows the seriousness at a time when oil from coconut is more expensive than crude oil.

Aggressive construction began in 2017 after the flag off, and on September 25, 2018, Governor Udom Emmanuel inspected the level of work at the coconut refinery project site. Impressed at the pace of work, Governor Udom Emmanuel explained that the foreign market is already ready for the produce of the refinery and described the project as the biggest in Africa, and another project of his administration that will elevate the youths of Akwa Ibom state.

Speaking with newsmen shortly after the inspection, Governor Udom Emmanuel explained that the facility will employ thousands across the state and that the revenue from coconut oil surpasses the revenue from crude oil daily. He furthered that the refinery which will also process palm kernels, will give birth to smaller factories that will process other parts of the coconut fruit.

The facility boasts of administrative offices, production areas, technical spaces, industrial firefighting systems, water treatment plants, effluent treatment plants and residential quarters for technical and managerial staff as well as Green parking areas for tractors carrying raw materials.

If the factory is billed to process and refine over one million coconuts daily, is the state ready to provide the raw materials to feed production? There is the state coconut plantation on 11,000 hectares of land at the Eastern Obolo, Ikot Abasi, Mkpat Enin axis of the state which is meant to accommodate over two million coconut trees. Already, a clarion call has been sounded to all farmers in the state to cultivate coconut as it will be a major revenue spinner in the State’s economy in few months . To show the imperatives of this, the state government had few months ago directed all local government authorities in the state to dedicate at least 50 hectares of land for the cultivation of coconut while 230 public schools were also directed to plant at least 300 coconut trees in their respective premises. But all of these will still not be enough to feed the factory, meaning that all the coconuts produced in Nigeria and neighbouring African countries will have to find their way to the emerging coconut processing hub.

Following his visit to the state recently, renowned journalist and columnist Sam Omatseye had this to say about the Refinery in a piece titled ‘The Udom Challenge’, published in the Nation Newspaper of March 16, 2020, “For a region that teems with forests, it is open for work. The St Gabriel Coconut refinery is still under construction, with work at an advanced stage. It plans to refine 300,000 coconuts a day. This hub will spur agricultural work and employment to feed this buzz of factory needs. All over the state, Governor Emmanuel touts his completion agenda. He has challenged himself. To set up an infrastructure work is one thing, to turn them into fruits is another. Harvests, however, are afoot already.”

Governor Udom Emmanuel has indeed shown that his industrialization agenda in Akwa Ibom, is not a hoax. At least the giant flying birds, Ibom Air attest to the sincerity and commitment of his administration to match policies with action.

Apart from the Kings Flour Mill, the Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing company, Lion Plywood/Timber Manufacturing Company, the rice mills, Metering Solutions Company among others industries established by Governor Udom Emmanuel’s administration, the coconut refinery is one that will contribute in skyrocketing the economy of Akwa Ibom State as it gives hope to individual coconut farmers as a ready market for their farm produce and offers direct and indirect benefits to several others.

These fit the words of Frank Herbert that “good governance never depends upon laws but upon the personal qualities of those who govern”

You didn't get the part in his speech where he told the nation that the disease is serious and people should take action to contain it, or there every other leader in the nation is telling the people that they should take action against the disease but the part of his speech telling people they should pray is the only one that is stuck to you? Okay, let me ask you this Mr/Ms my country has taken better steps to contain the virus, how many in your countries have the virus? how many have died? How many are still getting infected? Compare it with your over exaggerated number of death and infection in Tanzania and ask yourself if its any better per capita compared to Tanzania...

Obviously you have glaucoma. I mentioned the firing of the head of the lab and all you saw is prayer. How do you propose we compare our numbers with yours that have been suspended since the massive one week explosion?

The Zambia health minister said they closed the border to conduct cleaning, screening and testing in Nakonde to know the exact extent of the disease on the Zambian side so as to take proper actions, not permanently shutting it down till the pandemic ends.

Does it make a difference, son. The fact of the matter is the Zambians are alarmed by the positive cases coming from your primitive society. Your claim is false to start with..

Zambia on Monday closed its joint border with neighboring Tanzania after experiencing the highest spike of coronavirus infections last week, local media reported.

“No traffic will be allowed in or out of the district," the Tanzania-based The Citizen daily quoted Zambia’s Health Minister Chitalu Chilufya as saying, referring to the closure of Nakonde border.

The minister, however, did not specify the duration of the border shut down.

Analyst forecast bright outlooks for Nigeria's oil Earnings


Despite Federal Government’s substantial cut of the oil price benchmark to $20 per barrel a few days ago, Nigeria’s revenue shortfall in the 2020 budget may not be as huge as N4.7 trillion as projected based on the lingering volatility in the international oil market.

Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed, had during a videoconferencing on Nigeria’s response to the fall in oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic, last week said that earnings from crude oil exports would led a substantial drop in government’s revenue to N3.9 trillion as against the N8.6 trillion previously projected. However, trading in the global oil market over the past few days saw the Brent crude price oscillating between $28 per barrel and $31 a barrel.

On Monday, Brent crude futures though down 29 cents, or 0.9 per cent still sold at $30.68 a barrel. For instance, Brent crude price in the past few days has almost doubled since hitting a 21-year low reached on April 22. The rebound is supported by expectations that demand will grow following the recent record supply cut led by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

In what appeared a boost to Nigeria and other oil exporters’ hope on improved crude oil earnings, Saudi Arabia yesterday asked oil giant, Aramco, to cut output by an additional one million barrels per day from June in her efforts to support oil prices. The move will reduce the output of the world’s biggest crude oil exporter to 7.5 million barrels per day. Commenting on the latest trend in the market and the implications for Nigeria’s revenue, an economist, Dr. Adedeji Adeniran, noted that the recent rebound in the oil prices portended good omen for Nigeria’s development, especially on the implementation of the 2020 budget.

Adeniran, who is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for the Study of Economies in Africa (CSEA), said: “Oil price is now well below the USD20 per barrel set in the revised 2020 budget. Given the fragile nat

Dont expect oil to regain its pre-covid prices this year. That means we expect a massive dip in your cooked economy for the foreseeable future.

Just because its the only thing we got does not mean that we should not say when it has a problem. Admitting it is the first step to fixing it. We might have taken an unorthodox way of dealing with it but we have measured the benefits of a lock down against business as usual and as a nation we support business as usual. If you think that is the wrong way, well, you are living in democracies, get your governments to close your borders.

What was the point of firing the head of the lab? Seems your president thinks she manufactured the test kits.

You should learn from Nigeria in infastructural development...

This is what Kikuyu talked about. For you it is of paramount importance to 'look good' even though there is absolutely no benefit deriving from it. Like lip balm on a pig. Lets see who is more effective between Kenya and Nigeria in combating the virus.

So far, Kenya has 737 confirmed cases, 40 deaths and 281 recoveries, out of 36,000 tests. !

Meanwhile, the lip balmed Naija with the sexy quarantine centers has 4971 confirmed cases, 164 deaths, and 1070 recoveries out of 30,000 tests.

We basically have a better testing infrastructure which means we have a better hold of the virus' spread. You have fewer tests than us but orders of magnitude higher confirmed cases and death. That tells you that in your general population the virus is making crazy moves. I also heard that because of your poor testing capacity people are now dropping dead on the streets without ever having a chance to be tested?

Bhuahaha!

Btw, Kenyan counties also have their quarantine and treatment centers an they have been posted before, including a brand new hospital in Kilifi that is better than all temporary facilities in naija. Here is one in Machakos county, a county that has only 1 confirmed case but is ready as hell to combat the virus.
