South Africa-Nigeria is different from Kenya-Tanzania.
Kenya and TZ have so much more in common kuliko SA-Nigeria.
Our and your per capita GDPs are not worlds apart, unlike hiyo mifano yote uliyotoa. Your population is growing almost as fast as ours, yet our economy is growing faster than yours. Get that into your hollow skull!
Yes we have much in common is most parts but not everything...

Kenya GDP/Capita - 1,522 USD -2016 -Lower Middle Income
Tanzania GDP/Capita -960 USD -2016 -Low income

Ok, Now lets assume IMF is right in its projection, that non of our countries will find any innovative ways to stimulate the economies to be mechanised and industrialized and our economies growth rates remain the same for the next 45 years up to 2060...
So tanzania population growth is 3% while Kenya is 2.6% of poputation.... according to
this article and supported by these UN websites that predict population growth
