As a west African and from Nigeria with almost a saturated economy, I am making good use of emerging opportunities in Ghana, a smaller west African country with good potentials in terms of economic growth. As a retail investor my area of interest includes stock market, fund management expertise, and even real estate.

It is always worthwhile to look for opportunities in your neigbouring contries.
The world now is a global village and you start from your home country, the neighbourhood countries and then the rest of the world.
The wazua spirit as members is to educate and inform and learn from others within the limit of what we know in any chosen area irrespective of our differences in tribes, nationalities, etc. .

BTW, how is Rwanda compared to Tanzania? I find them more open-minded.

If am not mistaken, they will be giving sizeable public offerings (e.g. Brasseries et Limonaderies du Rwanda) and will most definitely be welcoming to kenyans (they literally begged KCB to list on their OTC).

The below link is old (April 2010), but may be good:

Rwnada is way more open-mided than Tanzania! They jamaa who heads Rwanda's fledgling Stock Exchange is a Kenyan who used to be at NSE

The role Tanzania played in the fight against arpatheid will never be forgotten...during the late Mzee Julius Nyerere's time many Namibian and SA freedom fighters were trained and educated in Tanzania while Kenya closed it's borders...Tanzania is like China a sleeping giant...contrary to what most of you people say Tanzanians are more friendly to foreigners than Kenyans...

Once heard that the resentment towards Kenyans by Tanzanians was best illustrated by the story of Nyerere refusing to shake Njonjo's hand at the airport (where he was accompanying Mzee Jomo)after the break up of the original EAC. It's said that on the eve of the breakup, Njonjo ordered all aircraft and trains to return to Kenya for routine servicing. And once safely in Kenya, there was a declaration of the ceasation of the Community. Some hold the view that Kenya kind of swindled the other countries (out of aircraft and trains)and ended up with a big-head start.

I dont know whether this story is true.

Still far away.
Rwanda and Uganda not on speaking terms
Tanzania and Kenya have differences.

Mostly due to selfishness of our "Congo Dandies" for Presidents (they all want to be "Commander in Chiefs" of rag tag "gumboot" armies like Rwanda/Uganda), motorcades, palaces, useless lust for power and it's trappings rather than the people e.t.c we need change and fresh thinking.
