Pwani University: 'We were going for success... We met death'

 

A slipper here, a bottle of water there and blood-soaked books everywhere.

Such was the horror at the Kayole area, the scene of the Thursday midday accident along the Nairobi Nakuru Highway between a Pwani University bus and a PSV van.

The lives of 14 people tragically ended at this spotA journey that had started at midnight in Kilifi, towards Eldoret for an Interuniversity sports event at the University of Eldoret ended fatally and abruptly.

The remains told of a journey both the students and the passengers of the 14-seater matatu had hoped to finish, happily and successfully.

When the twisted wreckage was towed from the scene at midday yesterday, it suggested the violence with which the victims had died.Ian Okoth, 22, a footballer survived the accident that some of his peers did not.

The second-year student pursuing a Bachelor of Philosophy was still reeling from the shock of surviving an accident some of his team members had survived.  

He reminisced about the tiresome preparation and how determined they were.“We were going for success. We met death,” he said. “I'm grateful that I survived.”

When it was evident that the driver had lost brakes, he recounted, he tied his safety bells and immersed himself in prayers and quietly waited for whatever would happen when they clutch.

“I didn’t know it would be the end of seeing some of my colleagues who were very jovial a few moments ago,” the 22-year-old footballer said."The team was in high spirits," he added.

Pwani University administration said 120 learners, four drivers and one sports officer left the institution for the games in Eldoret. The driver of the bus did not surviveThey were in separate buses. Female volleyballers, some male volleyballers and handballers were in another bus, said Dorothy Chemos, a volleyballer.She went on, "Male and female footballers were in the bus that had the accident."

“I only remember seeing the driver of the ill-fated bus overtaking us on the wrong side at a high speed and wondered what could be happening. In the confusion of the moment, our driver slowed down as we started reaching out to our colleagues on the other bus,” the fourth year bachelor's of education student narrated. “When we stopped, we only saw a group of people quickly gathering ahead of us and we disembarked, we realised that the other bus that had some of our colleagues had perished as the school bus lay by the ditch.”

Kenya University Students Organisation (Kuso) President Antony Manyara called upon Transport CS Murkomen to ensure that learning institutions school buses are serviced especially whenever it is bound for a long-distance journey.“Just maybe, we would have saved the lives of these comrades,” he said.

His deputy Tabitha Rachel said they would mobilised students wherever they are to donate blood if need be. 

"We are in solidarity with the affected students and victims and will provide assistance whenever called upon,"Both the matatu and the bus were headed to Nakuru, the police said. 

The Naivasha Hospital Sub County medical superintendent Bernard Warui said a total of 16 fatalities had been recorded by Thursday evening. she said.

"We have 86 victims from the morning accident," he told the Nation.

On Thursday evening, police dispersed using teargas Pwani University students protesting deaths of their 17 colleagues in an accident in Naivasha claiming the driver had complained the vehicle was not roadworthy.

The students had congregated at the university grounds in Kilifi town to mourn the deceased.

After a press briefing, they walked out of the university and demonstrated alleged negligence by the administration

Those who succumbed when the bus they were in crashed were headed to Eldoret University-Chepkoilel for national games.

The students said they suspected the car had mechanical problems that led to the brake failure.

Led by Pwani University Student Association [ PUSA] President Allan Ochieng, they called on Vice Chancellor Prof Mohamed Rajab to state the condition of the vehicle before it departed for Eldoret.

The demands by the students come even as learning was suspended from Thursday until next week on Monday.

Addressing the press, Mr Ochieng said the sports team consisted of football, handball, hockey and volleyball players.

“A team from the University has been sent to Naivasha to assess the situation and ensure our colleagues get quality treatment. Some who survived are in the Intensive Care Unit [ICU],” he said.

PUSA Deputy President Wincate Nzinyari said it has been hard for them to accept the news about the accident and asked God to give strength to the families of the deceased.

“We want the University to tell us about the insurance cover and how the family will get compensation,” she said.PUSA Secretary General Kelvin Nyambura called on the students and parents to be calm adding the deaths had hit the rest of the university population hard.

“We want the university to assure us of the safety of the vehicles when they leave the compound. We have learnt that the driver was complaining about the vehicle’s brake,” he claimed.

A student, Christopher Chumo, said they got information about the accident from Twitter and news in the media. 

President William Ruto also mourned the dead students.

"Our heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of those who lost loved ones in the Naivasha accident involving a Pwani University bus. It's heartbreaking that some of the fatalities were young citizens with a promising future. We pray for the speedy recovery of the survivors," the president said through a Twitter post

Manchester United wins Carabao Cup

 

Manchester United have won the 2022/23 Carabao Cup by beating Newcastle United 2-0 in the final at Wembley on SundayNewcastle started on the front foot but it was United that took the lead in the 35th minute when Luke Shaw floated a beautiful free kick in from the left-hand side and Brazilian Casemiro was on hand to head home.

Marcus Rashford doubled the lead just four minutes later when he was played in by Wout Weghorst and the England international saw his effort deflect off of Sven Botman up and over Loris Karius in the Newcastle goal.

After the break, Newcastle drove forward in an attempt to get themselves back in the game but time and time again the United rearguard was on hand to thwart their attempts.United remained a threat on the counter however and the Magpies had Karius to thank for keeping the score at 2-0 when he saved well from Rashford.

Despite the efforts of Eddie Howe's team to force their way back into the match in the last 20 minutes, United were able to keep them at arm's length and nearly made it 3-0 but Bruno Fernandes was thwarted by Karius in injury time.

It is Manchester United's first trophy since 2017 when they beat Ajax to win the Europa League and is also Erik ten Hag's first trophy since he joined the club as manager in the summer.

Supporters of the Red Devils will now be hoping that this team can use this success as a platform to kick on and bring more glory back to Old Trafford.

Raila: Western countries can stop me from traveling there if they want

 Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga has said he is not afraid of being banned from visiting any country overseas as long as they agree with the fact that Kenya’s problems must be fixed by Kenyans.

He said calls by Kenya Kwanza to the West and allied countries to ban him from stepping foot in their countries are acts of cowardice and mere hot air.

Speaking in Kitale town on Sunday, Mr Odinga said he doesn’t care if he will be banned from visiting any overseas country as is being agitated by the President William Ruto administration.  

“Article 34 of the Constitution gives Kenyans the freedom to express themselves and to picket and we shall fight for our rights whether they like it or not,” he said.

He told Western countries not to listen to such calls and that they should first ask themselves if those making such calls are legitimately in power.

IEBC servers

“Why are they afraid of having the IEBC servers opened? They know what is in those servers and the truth is we won the election free and square” he said.

He said his main objective is to have electoral injustices ended and ensure the will of the people is respected.

“We respect our friendly countries. We have had and shall continue having a cordial relationship with our friends, but they should also know that our internal affairs must be dealt with by ourselves,” he added.

He vowed not to back down until his victory is given back to him. This comes after President Ruto’s administration said it wants the West to impose sanctions, including a travel ban, against the opposition leader over his calls for mass action and rejection of his election win.

Destabilising the government

Legislators and politicians allied to the Kenya Kwanza administration have revealed a raft of actions that they want the United States, the United Kingdom and western countries to take against Mr Odinga, whom they accuse of destabilising the government.

Similar travel and economic restrictions have in the past proved to be effective in softening political hardliners who fear losing access to their overseas investments and access to advanced healthcare.

The government wants Mr Odinga banned from travelling to friendly Western nations should he proceed with his plans for mass action intended to force President Ruto out of office.

Mr Odinga has previously staged mass protests that have paralysed economic activity and caused loss of lives, forcing sitting governments into power-sharing negotiations, ceding ground to policy and legal reforms, as well as creating room for negotiated political solutions.

Mr Odinga on Wednesday announced that he will lead mass protests in 14 days if the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition’s demands for changes in the formula for choosing Independent IEBC members and lowering the cost of living are not honoured by the government.

CS Kuria to help China Square owner set up a factory, partner with local traders

 

Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade, and Industry Moses Kuria has announced that he will help Lei Cheng, the owner of China Square, set up a manufacturing facility in Kenya and develop a distribution alliance with merchants from Gikomba, Nyamakima, Eastleigh, Kamukunji, Muthurwa, and River Road.tt

The announcement comes after the CS had previously declared that he had given Vice Chancellor Paul Wainaina of Kenyatta University the chance to purchase China Square’s lease and give it to neighborhood who had been criticizing China Square’s selling of inexpensive imported items.

“I’ve today given an offer to Prof. Wainaina the VC Kenyatta Uni to buy out the lease for China Square, Unicity Mall & hand it over to the Gikomba, Nyamakima, Muthurwa and Eastleigh Traders Association,” Kuria said.

According to Kuria, Kenya welcomes Chinese investors as manufacturers rather than traders.

On Saturday, the CS also lay blame on former Interior CS Fred Matiangi questioning why he issued work permits to Chinese traders.Cheng, on the other hand told Nation.Africa that he is unconcerned by Kuria’s outburst and only wonders what all the fuss is about.

“My business is legal and is centred on healthy competition. We have cooperated with all government directives for opening a business in Kenya and we are here to break the monopoly. The people who are fighting us feel threatened because Kenyans now know we exist and we are not exploiting them in pricing,” Cheng told Nation.

Cheng said he smelled a business opportunity after visiting Kenya. He argues that his company strategy is approachable and appealing to many Kenyans who, although having low incomes, struggle with the high cost of living.

China Square said it would be temporarily closing shop today (Sunday, Feb 26) to consider cooperation with local traders with an aim to better integrate itself with the community.

The mega supermarket is a recently opened store at the Unicity Mall near Kenyatta University that offers inexpensive Chinese items.

Although it has attracted a lot of clients, some Kenyan traders have complained about how it is undercutting them.

Raila Odinga: My African Union expenses were paid by Nepad

Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has denied claims that taxpayer money was used to finance his activities as the African Union’s High Representative for Infrastructure Development.Mr Odinga yesterday said all his expenses during his tenure were borne directly by the African Union, via the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (Nepad), and partly by himself.

In a letter, he further rejected claims by National Assembly Majority leader Kimani Ichung’wa that he had an office in Nairobi, courtesy of his AU role, that was being fully financed by taxpayers to the tune of Sh600 million annually

“Throughout his tenure in the aforesaid capacity, our client was hosted at the Raila Odinga Secretariat—the premises he has used since 2012. There are no known premises in the Republic of Kenya established for the AU High Representative for Infrastructure Development in Africa,” said Mr Odinga’s legal team.

The AU Commission directed the Sunday Nation to Mr Odinga’s office to share details of his tenure while he was in office. “H.E Odinga was High representative for the past four years, and if you want to know about his tenure now that it has ended, kindly approach his office if they wish to share those details,” National Assembly Minority Whip Junet Mohamed said that at no point have they passed a budget in Parliament with allocations to the African Union. “Any claim made must be followed by facts and figures. We have had budgets in the last 10 years and I have never seen the allocation Mr Ichungwa is talking about. Maybe he is confusing money going to his Kikuyu constituency for AU,” he said.

Nominated MP and ODM chairman John Mbadi also came to the defence of Mr Odinga, terming Mr Ichung’wa’s remarks reckless and not grounded in facts.

Mr Mbadi, who served in the Budget and Appropriation Committee when Mr Ichungwa was the chairman of the powerful panel, said at no time did they appropriate any money to Mr Odinga’s AU office. “Someone who has been the chairman of Budget and now Majority leader should know this better and should not be careless in his remarks,” the lawmaker said.

The former Minority leader said Mr Ichungwa is confusing the perks that Mr Odinga enjoys courtesy of having served as the former Prime Minister with his role at the AU.“Raila did not have any AU office in Nairobi, he has his private office in Capitol Hill which should be financed by taxpayers courtesy of the law. Either Ichungwa is confused or he does not know what he is saying,” Mr Mbadi told the Sunday Nation.“Budgets line presented and are clearly appropriated and no time did I see any allocation to the special envoy to AU,” he added.

He clarified that the amount paid to AU by Kenya as a subscription is paid by all other countries who are members of the outfit whether you have a special envoy or not.

“Someone who has been the chairman of budget and now majority leader should know this one better and should not be careless in his remarks and bring honour to that office,”

“Raila’s office as the former Prime Minister needs to be financed because that is the law but it has been a problem and even if it’s being financed, I doubt it is to the tune of Sh600 million as Mr Ichungwa puts it,” Mr Mbadi said.

Under the Presidential Retirement Benefits Act No. 11 of 2003 for retired President Uhuru Kenyatta, Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka and ex-Prime Minister Raila Odinga, the officers are entitled to fuel, travel expenses, a fully furnished office, entertainment allowances, and wages for his employees.

Two bandits arrested after daring attack on KDF at Kainuk

 

Daring bandits continue staging attacks in Turkana and Baringo counties despite the ongoing security operation to mop up illegal firearms in the restive region.In a brazen Wednesday evening attack, dozens of bandits ambushed Kenya Defense Forces and police officers in Kainuk and engaged them in a fierce shoot-out. However, the security officers managed to repulse the armed bandits.

Confirming the incident, Rift Valley regional Commissioner Dr Abdi Hassan revealed that at least two bandits have been arrested in Kainuk, following the attack.

"On Wednesday heavily armed bandits attempted to ambush KDF and police who are currently conducting a security operation in Kainuk, Turkana South. However, the bandits were repulsed," revealed Dr Abdi,who addressed the press at his office in Nakuru.

"We have been able to arrest two bandits in Turkana following the incident and security officers also recovered one firearm," he added.

Tension is still high at Kainuk town near the border of Turkana and West Pokot Counties after residents spotted armed bandits suspected to be on a revenge mission after they were repulsed by KDF and police officers near the bridge.

Locals suspect the bandits are regrouping in their numbers after some of them were either killed, injured or their firearms are taken away during the Wednesday encounter with police and soldiers at Kainuk bridge.

Ms Shirleen Akolong, a trader said that the bandits were by 11 am still gathering at Amolem village, which they usually occupy after they forcefully displaced residentsand in between River Malimalite and the lower side of the town that has a thicket.

"We are in great fear as we have never spotted such a big group of armed bandits," Ms Akolong said.

On Wednesday, the town remained deserted as police officers and KDF soldiers came in contact with bandits near the bridge and at Amolem village.

County Commissioner Jacob Ouma said that the multi-agency security team on usual patrol targeting any civilian brandishing illegal firearm came into contact with the daring bandits.

Kainuk residents said that before the operation began, the bandits and livestock traders from neighboring West Pokot County would either roam freely in town and villages, but at the moment it is not easy to spot one.

AU terminates Raila’s role as High Representative for Infrastructure Development

 

Former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s mandate as the African Union High Representative for Infrastructure Development has come to an end.

The announcement was made in a letter from the African Union Commission president Moussa Faki, dated February 19.

In his letter, Faki commended Odinga for his leadership in leveraging infrastructure as a key priority in the continent, stating that his role in the journey has been invaluable. Raila’s term ended as the NEPAD Agency prepared to take full charge of the docket.

“The transformation of the NEPAD Agency to the African Union Development Agency has now been completed, with a full mandate to implement the Continental agenda on infrastructure,” Faki said.

He added, “Your role in this journey, Excellency, has been invaluable. Allow me to express my profound gratitude for accepting to serve in this role during the transition period, which has now come to a happy conclusion.”

Raila Odinga was appointed to the position in October 2018, as part of the African Union’s drive to expedite the integration of the continent through infrastructure, in order to promote economic growth and sustainable development.

During his tenure, Raila focused on the missing links along the transnational highway corridors identified as part of the Trans-African Highways Network, with a view to facilitating their development and modernization.

He also paid particular attention to the continental high-speed train, which is one of the flagship projects of the First Ten-Year Implementation Plan of Agenda 2063.

The African Union’s focus on infrastructure development remains a key priority, and the organization will undoubtedly continue to work towards improving the lives of Africans through improved access to infrastructure.

“This decision is part of the African Union’s drive to expedite the integration of the continent through infrastructure, in order to promote economic growth and sustainable development,” Faki said.

“He will also support the Commission and NEPAD initiatives to encourage increased commitment from development partners.”

Millers demand yellow maize as shortage bites

 

To address the severe grain scarcity and protect customers from rising flour and other food prices, millers have petitioned the government to enact a number of measures, including permitting yellow maize to be processed for consumption. The government should remove restrictions on cross-border trade, according to the millers, and allow for an unlimited flow of grains into the nation. According to them, the six million bags of white maize now on hand can only be used for two months.

Consumers are having a hard time with rising commodities prices. Should the situation continue, putting these suggestions into practice will help to contain the rising costs of commodities based on wheat and maize, the companies claimed in their plea.

The Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) regulations should be reviewed to permit yellow maize to be used as food, according to the millers, who met with President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua on January 23. This recommendation came after it became clear that importing 10 million bags of white maize would take longer than anticipated due to low stocks on the global market.

Additionally, the businesses urge the government to remove import duties on wheat in an effort to lower consumer costs and harmonize cess and levy requirements across counties. The millers claim that in order to relieve pressure on white maize and lower the price of animal feeds, the duty waiver on yellow maize needs to be extended for another six months.

In their advice to the government, the millers stated that "it is also crucial that the government introduce FX allocations for those in the food industry, as is happening in the petroleum sector." Since it appears that it would take a while until the 10 million bags of imported duty-free grains arrive in the country, maize prices are predicted to stay high.

The millers want to import maize, which will raise the price of flour by Sh6,000 per 90kg bag compared to Sh4,800 on the local market. The 10 million bags of duty-free corn were supposed to be accessible this month, but the Ministry of Agriculture reports that this will not be the case.

Due to logistical issues, such as the delayed choice of the importers, "we expect the duty-free maize to arrive in Kenya early next month," Crop Development Principal Secretary Kello Harsama stated. Between February and August, the ministry permitted importers to bring in 900,000 tonnes of duty-free white maize and 600,000 tonnes of duty-free milled rice.

"This will make it possible for the nation to have enough supplies to last until the following harvest in July or August. White maize and milled rice imported by August 6 will be eligible for the tariff remission, according to a notice from the State Department for Crop Development. Thirty businesses have received government approval to import maize, but none have done so. Other traditional suppliers of maize, such as Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi, Uganda, and Ethiopia don't have any supplies save South Africa.

According to estimates, the nation produces 3.2 million tonnes of maize per year, compared to a consumption of 3.8 million tonnes. Normal imports from East Africa Community (EAC) members are used to close the imbalance. With a 2.4 million tonne yearly need for wheat, the nation imports a lot of its 100,000 tonne annual production.

Kenya imports 60% of its shortfall, primarily from Russia and Ukraine. The supply chain has been hampered by the existing conditions in the two nations. Players in the market have therefore resorted to pricey wheat from the US, Argentina, Australia, and Canada, raising their operational costs, according to the millers.

Prices for 90kg bags of maize increased by 47% from Sh2,850 in 2021 to Sh4,200 in 2022. Persistent drought and fewer visitors from EAC member states were blamed for the problem.

A 19 Year Old Italian Proposes to His 76 Year Old 'Soul Mate'

Giuseppe D'Anna, a 19-year-old Italian, shocked his 3 million TikTok fans and his 120k Instagram followers when he posted a video with his 76-year-old rich 'fiancée,' Milina Gatta. When the couple revealed their relationship in May 2022, the information quickly went viral.

The Italian man showed his followers the moment he knelt down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend. He also posted a picture of an exquisite ring. And this is just the first installment in a lengthy series, he added.

Although the video generated thousands of encouraging responses, not every viewer wished the pair luck.

Online trolls made fun of the boy, saying he was seeing his great-great-grandmother mainly so he could get a Playstation 5. Some admirers believed he was pursuing her against her will, with one saying: "Oh she rich... We are all aware of his motivation.

We are 56 years apart, but love transcends all barriers, the young man responded by releasing a video and insisting it was pure love. Due of their age difference, the pair was also covered by the regional Italian media. Recently, the 19-year-old male announced that they are expecting a child.

It's important to understand that age caps may not always be legal or enforceable. In many countries, it's illegal to discriminate against someone based on their age. This means that even if you have an age cap for your partner, you may not be able to legally enforce it.

It's also important to consider the societal norms surrounding age and relationships. While age differences between partners are becoming less stigmatized, some people may still view relationships where there is a significant age difference with skepticism or disapproval. It's important to be aware of these attitudes and to be prepared to deal with any negativity or judgment that may come your way.Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and to be willing to consider partners who may not meet your initial criteria. Love can sometimes surprise us, and it's possible that you may find a partner who is older or younger than you initially envisioned, but who is still an amazing match for you.

In conclusion, having an age cap for your partner is a personal decision, but it's important to consider all the potential implications and to keep an open mind when it comes to love and relationships.

6. Kenya geothermal energy projects

 Kenya is Africa’s largest producer of geothermal energy and the world’s 8th. In six years the East African country increased its output from 100 and 68821 megawatts. Kenya has an estimated geothermal potential of 10,000 megawatts, making it an excellent candidate for geothermal energy development. Kenya’s first geothermal site opened in 1984 in the region of olkario about 150 miles from the country’s capital Nairofi.

Kenya is currently working to expand its 23 sites, only four of which have deep wells while geothermal power plants in olkaria currently have a generation capacity of around 700 megawatts and can power nearby major cities. Geologists hope to more than double their impact by 2025.

The 10 Businesses That Will Create Africa's Next Billionaires...

 With a population of over 1 billion people ,Africa has become the continent with the highest investment opportunities. Investing in businesses that are both innovative and lucrative is key. Africa is a continent with a lot of resources in investing in the right market sector using the best resources and the best strategies and taking advantage of the huge market will yield high return on investments but there is a problem. Coming up with a business idea and developing it into a multi million dollar business has been a major problem . This is because the African market has not fully been understood. This is one of the major reasons that has made investing slow in the continent but once this market is understood, investors or potential investors stand to benefit from the huge opportunities and the chance to be billionaires especially if they are early and efficient in their chosen business sectors. In recent years, most of the new billionaires have been young entrepreneurs and investors who have created promising businesses and invested in lucrative sectors of Africa’s fast growing economies. Everyone knows Africa is the future, that is why many foreign investors from China, the United States and India are coming to invest in Africa. They have identified markets and they’re succeeding. There is a wide list of businesses in Africa that you can invest in and make so much money by our top four today are those that really stand out for decades. Business opportunities in Africa were created through traditional sources but nowadays things have evolved and there are many other new and unconventional opportunities

1. Real Estate

 This is property consisting of land and the buildings on it along with its natural resources such as crops, minerals and more. Africa’s real estate market is a multibillion dollar opportunity and several new millionaires will build their fortune in this market. In almost every corner of the continent real estate projects are emerging. The biggest attractions are hotel and office buildings, residential homes and apartments and shopping malls. The key markets for real estate on every investor’s agenda are Angola, Nigeria, Egypt, Mozambique, South Africa and Kenya . All of these countries are experiencing a real estate boom like never before. Africa’s large and youthful population an expanding middle class increasing urbanisation the influx of multinational companies are the key drivers of demand for both commercial and residential real estate. Across the segment of the real estate market residential, official spaces, retail outlets, industrial and hospitality facilities are all in limited supply thus creating an Ave for investors and developers to tap in and benefit from these underserved needs .

2. Renewable Energy

According to World Bank studies it is estimated that in sub Sahara Africa only one in three people has access to electricity. Firewood and charcoal still remains the primary source of energy for cooking which endangers the continents fast appreciating force resources across the continents. Companies like off grid electricity and several others are lighting up the continent using solar energy and water to provide low cost electricity to households lacking them. Solar energy is one of the most attractive businesses in Africa right now, this is because of the significant potential for off grid solar solutions as the demand is massive. Over 600 million Africans are tired of waiting for energy from essentially managed power grid that is inefficient and inflexible to the continents growing power needs.

Africans enjoy about 300 days of sunlight in many parts. This makes it hard to beat the value proposition of a product that bypasses the central power grid and meet your energy needs by tapping directly from the sun, a free energy source. That’s why this solar market in Africa is booming. On Togo as solar system developer Bboxx $74 million partnership with the government to supply 300,000 homes with off grid solar kits. This is a business of the future.

3. Food Processing

Africa spends billions on the import of food and non food items yearly apart from local commodities like crude oil, cocoa, coffee and minerals what else of value can they export. There are a lot of local products on the continent that have the capacity to be world brands. The problem is we often minimize them. Recently in Ghana, some entrepreneurs are turning local African products into global brands by producing organic chocolate made by Coco. In 2018, the business raised about 50,000 euro’s from export investors.

 Africa has a unique chance to create strong product brands that can track premium prices from foreign consumers. This will lead to the creation of thousands of jobs in small businesses will be created and supported by adding value to cocoa and coffee beans. However cocoa and coffee are only the beginning of much bigger ways of emerging business opportunities for value added food. Africa’s biggest problem is not food production but food processing and marketing. If Africa processes more food as they produce waste will be limited and there will be a drop in imported food.

4. African movies and music

Having a population of over 1 billion people of which 60% are young people below the age of 25. Africa presents a very fertile ground for its local film and music industry. The four biggest business opportunities in this industry are in film and music financing production, distribution an exhibition with less than one cinema per 1 million people. Africa is the most understaffed single market in the world, when it comes to music the growing fame of African music in the western world is generating millions of dollars for stakeholders in this industry.

Business Ideas That Will Make You Instant Millionaire in Africa

 Due to its abundant resources, cutting edge technology and sizable markets, Africa offers a wealth of business opportunities. Over 136,000 millionaires reside on the continent already with South Africa, Egypt and Nigeria leading the pack. Even though young investors and business owners have also been adequately utilising the opportunities that exist. Many of these moving there’s are older. According to the IMS recent World Economic outlook, six of the world’s ten fastest growing economies are in Africa.

Furthermore by 2050 the continents economy could quadruple in size and be worth up to $29 trillion africa’s path to economic prosperity, like that of China and India will produce a slew of big winners and unfortunately a lot of losers. The big difference is that most of the smart entrepreneurs who are currently making a fortune in Africa have a distinct perspective on a continent. Strangely while most people are annoyed and frustrated by these issues, the business people who are transforming Africa and making a fortune are fired up and inspired by them.

The successful African entrepreneurs use their creativity and innovation to tackle complex issues in a way that generates income add jobs and improve the lives of people because they have a unique perspective on problems. Africa is a market that favours people who can solve problems therefore the potential rewards are higher if he can solve larger problems. Recycling waste and scraps is a crucial industry for the future viability of the global economy.

 Additionally governments an organisations dedicated to International Development strongly support recycling investments in Africa. They offer financial support and incentive programmes to encourage recycling investments. Tyre recycling is a highly lucrative business concept for African decision makers particularly as African nations are seeing an increase in the number of cars and trucks for instance, there are more than 12 million cars in Nigeria alone and Kenya records a number over 3 million with tyres having a typical life span about four years.

 The future of this industry looks very lucrative . Investment in waste tyre recycling facilities is made possible by government incentives and funding from International Development organisations. A programme for the collection and recycling of used tyres in Africa is run by the recycling an economic development initiative of South Africa, but other sub-Saharan African nations also offer sustainability grants. In both European and American nations, outsourcing cleaning and security services is a common practise.

African cities are also embracing this trend particularly in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Nairobi , Accra and Dakar. Many businesses prefer to contract with experienced firms to handle their security and janitorial needs. A professional cleaning and security outsourcing business is something African business owners should think about starting. The sophistication of businesses is increasing and mostly internal employees handle key business functions. However cleaning and security tasks are delegated to qualified businesses. Large African cities are currently experiencing this trend.

The cost of labour is reasonable in Africa, and there is little formal training needed for janitorial work. In this region starting a service business is comparatively simple. The lucrative security and janitorial services industry present opportunities for African entrepreneurs. Investors in large cities may want to think about establishing a reputable outsourcing business. If you ever find yourself wondering about a business venture that will assuredly provide profits and returns after investments, food processing and package food manufacturing stand as a viable option ,this business is successful in Africa because it serves as a stopgap to the growing consumer demand for convenience especially in urban areas. Customers who can afford packaged foods are more common in these areas.

So investing in this business will undoubtedly pay off over the past 50 years. Processed food consumption in Africa has increased as more people work outside the home. The opportunity cost the time for women and men has increased leading them to purchase processed food. A fully integrated an operational manufacturing facility that processes raw materials develops unique recipes for product preparation, and then packages the finished product for distribution and sale would be a formidable investment venture. Significant staple crops in sub-Saharan Africa is corn, which takes up nearly 17% of the estimated arable land there.

As a matter of fact, over 300 million people in sub-Saharan Africa rely on corn for food and a living. Paired with wheat, a crop that is vital to global nutrition and is a staple food for an estimated 35% of the world’s population. These crops offer impressive investment venture from agricultural enthusiasts and entrepreneurs in general. Maize and wheat milling is a lucrative business opportunity in sub-Saharan African countries. It is a lucrative business opportunity for many entrepreneurs with the potential to quickly grow into large commercial mills supplying not only domestically but also regionally.

The reason for success in this venture lies in the fact that its raw materials are abundant and reasonably priced on the continent particularly as many African nations already cultivate maize and wheat. Furthermore, because is a staple food for the majority of the continent’s inhabitants, its demand is always very high. This demand is expected to increase in tandem with the rapid growth in population and finally the relative ease and lack of technique required for mill operation eliminate complicated procedures. Running a mill does not necessitate many complicated procedures and factory workers can start using reliable machines after some training.

Kenya’s $1 Trillion Future City That Shock The World

Kenya's one trillion dollars future city being an East African nation with an Indian Ocean Coast Kenya includes the Magnificent Great Rift Valley lakelands Savannah and mountainous Highlands.Additionally, animals like lions,elephants and rhinos call it home. Safare is departing from Nairobi the nation's capital traveled to the Maasai Mara Reserve famous for its yearly migration of wilder beasts and amboseli National Park which offers views of tanzania's 5895 meter Mount Kilimanjaro. The nation is such a wonder and incredible tourist destination . 

It is for this reason and more that the Kenyan government intends to construct Towns at technopolis formerly known as Konza Technology city, 64 kilometers south of Nairobi on the way to the port city of Mombasa. It is promoted as a major component of Kenya's Vision 2030 National development strategy. The project appears to be considerably behind schedule as of January 2019.Thanks for joining us in today's ride throughout Kenya to find out more about the Kenyan future city.

THE PLAN

The Kenyan government is promoting Konza technopolis as a business process Outsourcing BPO initiative through theKenya ICT board where African silicon Savannah begins is how they describe it.The konza information website states that the project hopes to draw businesses involved in business process Outsourcing software development data centers, disaster recovery centers, call centers and light assembly manufacturing.

It also plans to construct a University campus with a strong emphasis on research and Technology as well as hotels, residential areas schools and hospitals.

Additionally a science Park Convention Center, commercial centers, Hotels, International Schools and a medical facility are planned for the area.The project is planned to be built across 2,000 hectares of land straddling three Counties namely Machakos County, Makueni County and kajiado County, within a 10 kilometer buffer zone, 64 kilometers south of Nairobi on the way to the port city of Mombasa. An estimated 14.5 billion dollars or 1.2 trillion Kenyan shillings will be spent on it. It is promoted as a major component of Kenya's Kenya Vision 2030 National development strategy.

The strategy of the Project's design in July 2012 Master delivery partner 1 mdp1 was hired by the Kenyan Ministry of information and Communications and the international Finance Corporation IFC to create a thorough business plan and master plan for phase one. 22 firms responded to the expression of interest for this assignment and a short list of six was created.

The ministry and IFC chose the worldwide team of six firms headed by HR and a advisors Incorporated of New York City foreign advisors. Incorporated is a real estate and economic development consulting company with a focus on the implementation of sizable Master plans, creating the concept for the sales Pavilion and the Urban. Design for phase one is the architecture and planning firm shop architects an international strategy consulting company with a presence in Nairobi.

Dalberg Global development advisors offers guidance to the konza on economic strategy, tenant Outreach and organizational strategy. The local physical development plan for konza is being created by the nairobi-based physical planning company Center for Urban and Regional planning. Oz architecture is a design company that offers konza sustainable development tactics. Tetratech is a global provider of Engineering Services that is creating konza's infrastructure ideas. Dar al-handasa a Global Engineering Services provider offering construction Management Services, the development of the project, the canyon government and the Parliament account committee approved concept technopolis Deloitte and pal freshman. A design consultant with offices in the UK worked together to create the first feasibility and concept master plan which was paid for by the international Finance Corporation at that time the Project's scope was restricted to a 280 hectares, 700 Acres technology park with BPO slashing companies as its main tenants . 

How freshmen suggested Konza Technology city during the feasibility study to increase the viability of the technology park as a tourist destination. The Kenyan government concurred and hired pal freshman to create a new master plan for a metropolis of 2,000 hectares, reasons why the project is taking longer than expected for African governments who are already battling to provide adequate roads, light, water and security to their existing cities, putting such idealistic plans into action is no simple undertaking according to Abdu nuand, a senior Urban specialist with the World Bank in Kenya creating a new city like konza is equally as critical as improving infrastructure in places like kibera slum in Nairobi to give water and a better sewage system.

Some detractors claim Konza was poorly planned from the beginning. Independent financial analyst Ali Khan sachu from Nairobi stated the vision is misguided the vision is too big. This location is really remote, the current infrastructure is not being utilized. It is presuming that you can involve corporate entities, Venture capitalists and Academia but tangent demo who led a team by conceptualized konza technopolis in 2008 said the first significant obstacle occurred in 2012 when the national land commission NLC which controls public land implemented a time-consuming land acquisition method. The process was Far slower than the previous one in which investors signed agreements directly with government Ministries who took care of land leases he claimed and the delays LED at least one contract with a German institution to fall through. In order to address this, the government gave the Konza technopolis Development Authority Cody day which was established in 2012 to coordinate the development of the newcity ownership of the site.

co-dda now leases land to investors for 50 years with the option to renew it also. A significant problem has been financing the government committed to funding 10 percent of Konzas infrastructure in its strategic plan. What the private sector contributing the other 90 to the construction of universities offices homes and hotels. Lauren Zach show one of kansa's project planners until 2013 stated that the government was hesitant to provide its share and has yet to approve a law to establish code D-Day as a legal company which would make it simpler to sign contracts with outside lenders as a smart City Kanza technopolis will collect information from implanted smart devices and sensors across the cityscape, E roadways and buildings. upon completion the Tetra Tech team will offer the design recommendations necessary for the implementation of smart data throughout the infrastructure system via a sophisticated communication system.

Software will analyze the save data.This real-time data will enhance features like sensors on the road that keep an eye on automobiles bikes and pedestrians allowing traffic lights to change to accommodate commuters as needed. Konza technopolis will directly serve its population as a sustainable Smart City by raising the standard of Municipal services to keep Pace with population growth.

A LION ATTACKS A YOUTUBER IN KISUMU

Imelda is a Kenyan YouTuber from Kisumu who loved to make videos about her adventures and the beautiful places she visited. She had a loyal following of people who enjoyed waching her explore different parts of the country and share her experiences with them.

One day, Imelda decided to visit a national park in Kenya known for its wildlife. She was excited to see lions, girafes, and other animals in their natural habitat and to capture it all on camera. She packed her bags and set off on her journey.

As she entered the park, she was greted by the sight of majestic lions lounging in the sun. Imelda was thrilled and began filming immediately. She walked closer to the lions, captivated by their beauty and grace.

But her excitement quickly turned to fear as one of the lions suddenly stood up and began to walk towards her. Imelda froze, unsure of what to do. She knew that lions were wild animals and could be dangerous if they felt threatened.

The lion continued to walk towards her, its eyes locked on her. Imelda knew that she had to act fast. She slowly backed away, trying not to make any sudden movements. But the lion was getting closer and closer.

Just as the lion was about to pounce, Imelda heard the sound of rangers shauting and blowing their whistles. The lion stopped in its tracks and looked back at the rangers. Imelda took the opportunity to run as fast as she could. She could feel the lion's hot breath on her heels as she sprinted away.

When she finally made it back to the ranger station, she was shaken and out of breath. But she was alive. The rangers explained that the lion had probably been attracted to her because of her camera equipment. They told her that it was importand to always be aware of your surroundings and to follow safety guidelines when in the park.

Imelda was grateful to the rangers for saving her life and decided not to upload that video of her visit to the park. She took the experience as a lesson and contiued to make videos but always being more cautious of wild animals.

After the incident, Imelda took some time to reflect on what had happened. She realized that she had been too focused on getting the perfect shot, and had not taken the necessary precautions to protect herself. She decided that from then on, she would be more mindful of the risks involved in her adventures and would always put safety first.

Imelda also used the experience to raise awareness about the importance of respecting wild animals and their habitats. She made a video about her experience and shared it with her followers, urging them to be responsible and respectful when visiting national parks and other wildlife areas.

Imelda's video quickly went viral, and she received a lot of positive feedback from her followers. Many of them said that her honesty and openness had helped them to understand the importance of being careful and respectful when visiting wildlife areas.

As a result of this incident Imelda became a conservation advocate and startyed to make videos about conservation and how to protect the wild animals and their habitats. She also started working with conservation organizations and NGOs, to help raise awareness and funds for conservation efforts.

Despite the danger she encountered, Imelda's passion for adventure and explolation never wavered. She continued to travel and make videos, but she did so with a new level of caution and respect for the natural world. And her followers continued to be inspired and entertained by her journey.

Imelda's newfound focus on conservation and safety earned her recognition and respect in the Kenyan YouTube community and beyond. Her videos were not only entertaining but also educational, and she became a role model for many young people who were interested in wildlife and conservation.

As her popularity grew, she was invited to speak at schools, universities, and wildlife conservation events, where she shared her experiences and the lessons she had learned. She also used her platform to raise awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation and the need to protect endangered species.

Imelda's efforts paid off, and her videos and speeches helped to increase the public's awareness of the need for conservation and the dangers that wild animals face. She also helped to raise funds for conservation organizations, which helped to protect the habitats of many endangered species.

Eventually, Imelda was approached by a major conservation organization to lead a team of conservationists and documentarians in a project that aimed to protect the lions and their habitats in the national park she was attacked by a lion. She accepted the offer and led the team in a successful campaign that resulted in the protection of the lions and their habitats.

Thanks to her dedication and hard work, Imelda had become a respected voice in the conservation community, known for her passion for advnture, education and conservation. Her story, from a YouTuber who was attacked by a lion to a conservation advocate, had inspired many people and helped to make a positive impact on the environment.
