The default is to have Statistician head a Statistic body. Mwangi studied BA. In Kenya, there is no degree in Economics. There are of course economists in statistical bodies - but the CORE function is statistical - mathematical.

Moronic version.

rvp2018:

Economics is more applied maths. But it good to have pure maths guy churn out the figures.

rvp2018:

And have Yemi Kale in TV stations churning out theories. But Yemi Kale is heck is manipulator.

As for Mwangi - of Kenya - there was incident where he is thought to have manipulated figures - and as always it was agriculture - he manipulated the prices and quantities - and we had agriculture shoot from 23-25% of the economy to 30%.

rvp2018:

And that was the time Kenya gov was trying to borrow more from Chinese.

obaaderemi:
I believe you do.
You just may not admit it.

Mzal3ndo:

NI hiyo Chugga....

Heck I checked TANZANIA is bigger than Nigeria in land size . You're number 30.

obaaderemi:
slowpoke, the default is to have economists as head of statistical bodies. That's why Nwangi, Kale and Beach are economists.
Economics go beyond numbers. The numbers just represent economics facts on ground.
We know Nwangi is your Chief Cook. Thank you for admitting.
He has put Kenya in trouble. You are going to lose Mombasa port.

theenchanter:
I hear u.

rvp2018:
If Kenya is in trouble - what would you say about Nigeria? Whose 90% of gov revenues have gone to the wind. Right now - you entire budget basically hinges on borrowing.

Kenya I bet has cooked GDP figures - but Nigeria like I have told you has OVERCOOKED Hers for many years.

Forget about me - Just look at you agriculture figures - and ask yourselves if you can be near US, Canada, Brazil, Indonesia, Russia, India, China. These are countries that based on LAND SIZe alone ..are at minimum 2-3 times (Indonesia)...the rest are so huge...Russia is basically like 10% of planet earth...you can squeeze 10 Nigerians in Canada and it still won't be enough. Brazil is basically a subcontinent and so is India and China.

So when Yemi kale tells you that your agriculture is DEAD and yet it's 4-6th world best - what exactly is he saying. Nigeria in land size is not even in top 20 worldwide I bet.

Don't even bother with the Netherlands who engage in intensive agriculture - please Explain to US how Nigerians that imports lots of food - and grow useless cassava, millet and sorghum - can have agriculture as big as 100B - and 200B as sector!

IMPOSSIBLE.

ode leleyi o....... What does d first 2 paragraphs have to do with d 3rd, 4th and 5the, how do they correspond?

Anything to drive a shitty point sha.

rvp2018:
Agriculture's biggest input is arable land. The next variable is the fertilizer applied. This is basic AGRONOMICS. The rest is details. That is why most modern countries don't bother with it - so much you can squeeze from soils and plants. You can dose it with fertilizers - 10 times what we apply in Africa - and after that - you're DONE. No more productivity or efficiency gains really.

Nigeria cooked GDP fails when you examined it's make-belief agriculture.

You only export cocoa beans. The countries you fake GDP statistics want to imagine are they peers export billions dollars of so many foods - and almost all have Nigeria as their market. The wheat farmer in Russia or Canada is looking at Nigeria and so do Rice farmers and so do milk farmers and so tomatoes farmers...you import basically everything except low nutriental value sorghum, millet and yams.

rvp2018:
It really take serious camera angle to snap pictures in Nigeria because everywhere is integrated slums.

Nairobi is on another level. This is Nairobi Metro - Kiambu - Middle class estate. Let us not start the CANADAs as Samrobo claimed.

Ruiru and part of upcoming Tatu city.

we don't import rice, we don't import tomato, we recently put a ban on palm oil and milk importation. we don't import most of our foods... Except those we don't plant here.

Arable land, u say.... And Nigeria, though being d 31st country in terms of land mass has d 9th largest arable land in d world.

U're a dumbo... I'll keep telling u that. Countries like Algeria, Egypt, Niger, SA, Namibia and so on may have larger landmass than Nigeria BUT Nigeria has d largest arable land in d continent.

Modern countries don't bother with agriculture, u say? U'RE A MAD MAN!!! modern countries bother with agriculture, the only diff between developed nations and Africa is that..... Developed nations do agriculture for food sufficiency while they export the type of agro products they have advantage of.

And they have lower agric sector in their GDP because many sectors generate revenue for than than agric.

U're a mad man.

theenchanter:
Lol, these people are still arguing over GDP as basically economics or statistics.

for reiteration sake..... GDP IS BASICALLY ECONOMICS!!!

Heck I checked TANZANIA is bigger than Nigeria in land size . You're number 30. Ethiopea, South Africa, and Egypt way bigger.

You need 20 nigerians to squeeze into Russia - and even if most of it north pole - the amount of wheat in Russia alone would drown Nigeria.

obaaderemi:
I was going to reply him but just chose to ignore his nonsense.
He doesn't seem to know that agricultural output depends on availability of arable land and not land mass.

These little Indians are so stubborn. I don't think Kenyan certificate is worth the paper on which it is written.

obaaderemi:
They have agreed.

National bureaus of statistics are mainly headed by economists and not statisticians as RIP2018 erroneously believed until I reset his brains.
Dumbo actually thought his Chief statistician in Kenya was a statistician.

theenchanter:
the bolded is very correct.... Many north African country have huge landmass but mostly desert, not arable.... East Africa is a mountainous or hilly region and some deserts, little arable land, southern Africa.. Deserts.

But the mumu won't know all these.

rvp2018:
I saw. And I SEEN MANY THAT CLAIMS SOUTH AFRICA WAS ON QE - PRINTING MONEY. Now you're a Mzanzi and analyst - help us find out if SARB printed the rand out of thin air and handed it to ANC treasury.

theenchanter:
so much for rvp2018.

Robin Van-Persie will be ashamed of him for bastardizing the acronymn.

obaaderemi:
How kikuyu1 follows that dumb guy around like a Labrador is beyond understanding. The guy is super dumb!

Your Right

AskiaHarem:


More like Tatu City Neighborhood Block. Underwhelming as usual. Stop disrespecting Canada's housing sector by comparing it to anything comming out of the Crown Slum Colony of Kenya.

rvp2018:
What are they buying the Gov Bonds with? Their retained earnings or capital? Their job is to print the rand - they can only buy by printing rand and handing it over to ANC.

jl115:
You do know QE doesn't necessarily mean printing money..........

jl115:
My guess would be probably their over R20 billion in capital and reserves....or maybe they can finance it by selling some of its R561 billion in assets!!!

You obvouisly have no idea what the reserve bank is

rvp2018:
Before I deal with the poverty capital - please tell us what QE mean. Use SARB as an example.

rvp2018:
So who bought their asset. My understanding of reserve bank - of south Africa - is fancy word for the Central Bank of South Africa. What they normally do is to issue bonds for sale - on behalf of South Africa gov. When they offer to buy it - they are basically printing money

Obviously you know very very little of the SARB and its function
