Stop kidding yourself, Kenya has the second most saturated retail market in africa after south africa, if you take a product to Kenya, beter be sure its if the highest quality or you will return home with it, just because ppl like Nigerian songs and movies (especially low income ppl) hense the curiosity for Nigerian culture doesnt mean ppl are drung with nigerianess....

hollyayo:

ipledge4:

lolz.... clothes and shoes are very cheap here.. look for something else

demiladegold:



well, op i think everything you have written is right. but trust me Kenyans are the ones bringing about this colonization themselves. Kenyans would do almost anything to be like Nigerians, whenever i tell anyone I'm a Nigerian they look at me like I'm a god and they start asking you questions. if you bring the worst products from Nigeria to Kenya, it would surely sell as long as you tell them its from Nigeria.

the only way to get a hold on themselves is if they start to get a hold on themselves. i mean no offense but most Kenyan products are better than Nigeria's yet they abandon their products and go for fake Nigerian products

need i say that not only Kenyans have this problem, most African countries do including Nigeria. only when we learn to stand on our feet in Africa would we move forward.

i didnt even realise i had written an essay. Airsultan, whatsup

demiladegold:



things you read on google are not always true, you know. I'm 95% sure of what i have written. if you take kitenges (Ankara) to Kenya just mention they are from Nigeria and they are sold.

p.s it is not the low income people in Kenya that loves Nigerian songs. there is almost no house you would enter in Kenya that would not have Nigerian songs .parties inclusive

southniyikaye:
on my way to Kenya now,I have this 700k I can spare and throw around make I see wetin go happen for there first,I go gist una with pictures later

Really As a Kenyan, I found that article not only ridiculous but very narrow minded.
Last I checked, there is only one place in the entire country where Nigerians are present; Nairobi. I come from Mombasa, Kenya's second largest city, where the majority of the population is Arab and Swahili and where Nigerian culture is nil.Zero. Zilch. I currently actually live in Nairobi, where Nollywood movies are watched by...our maids. I do not know any middle class Kenyan who actually watches Nollywood movies.
and Demiladegold.What Nigerian products are sold in Kenya beyond books and ocassionally clothes??There are direct trade barriers (that our president has tried and failed to bring down)deliberately put between the EAC/COMESA and ECOWAS, there is hell in no way any Nigerian products find their way here. Legally that is . No supermarket stocks any product from Nigeria.Ever.Maybe a bookstore and a few boutiques.
Kenyans, especially those from my region where I was born (the Coast) look to the West, and for the Muslims, to KSA and Lebanon. Not to Nigeria. Central Kenyans dislike Nigerians with a passion and the Western part are too obessed with Obama(since his father is from there) to notice Nigeria.I doubt the cushite North even knows Nigeria exists!!
The fact that some working class and low income Kenyans from Eastern Nairobi like Nigerian music does not signify 'the colonisation of Kenya' by Nigerians since nigerian influence is zero amongst Kenya's middle ad Upper class in Nairobi(For example I live in Westlands, Nairobi, where Asian culture reigns supreme and the rest of this part of the city would not look out of place in the UK. Especially Karen which still has a white majority to date or Kilimani and Kileleshwa where upper class black Kenyans are busy creating sex scandals, fun parties and virtually everything Americans do) and is also nil in all other Kenyan cities. Show me any 'Nigerian influence' in Kisumu,Nakuru,Eldoret, Garissa(a somali town),Nyeri,Machakos or Kisii.
As for Nigerians buying land in Kenya.I know liars when I read them. Do mention where they have bought real estate in Nairobi since Nairobi, the only place where Nigeirans are found, all the land in the city is leasehold and owned by either the National Government,Local Government or the Millitary.
And as of 2010 Non citizens cannot own land on freehold in Kenya. Even Citizens cannot own freehold land in Nairobi where everyone is on a 99 year lease. What crap have you been fed on Our own Italian population at the Coast had to learn fluent Swahili(They had only satisfied the 7 year requirement as most had been around for 30+ years without taking up citizenship) and engange with the locals to get a good rating in order to retain their lands there. I doubt any Nigerian owns any real estate beyond an apartment lease in Nairobi since our last census did not show any Nigerians as citizens here.

jmichlins:
When they talk about Nigerians doing exploits abroad we know they are talking about Igbos the most traveling tribe in Nigeria. Kenya never see something by the time we are through with them, they will beg whites to come take their lands again

And some peeps want us a country 2 divide??.

You guys have no idea how much the combination of us (Flavour, Davido, wizkid....and possibly Ice Prince) as a country is bin adore and cherish outside our shores.

You (Nigeria) have no idea how important you are and how important you will be.#Stay_United

Nollywood celebrates witchcraft, voodoo, say Kenyan film makers

While Nollywood is making waves, as second largest film industry in the world, the movies are relatively unpopular in Kenya. Kenyans know more of Hollywood, Bollywood than they do know about the existence of Nollywood, they stressed, adding that, Nigerian films really do apply to Nigerians.
In Kenya, Nollywood movies are relatively scarce, only house-maids and Nigerians residing in that country may show interest in such movies. This is the group of people that watches Nigerian films in Kenya.

Kenyanna:

Exactly. Kenyans from Central, Northern and Coastal regions look down on West Africans.
Only low class house maids from Western Kenya like Nigerian movies.
The only reason Kenyan TV stations began airing naija movies is because they are cheapest in the market. Kenyans only watch local TV during evening news otherwise Kenyans avoid local TV stations like the plague. Lazy housemaids wait for their masters to leave the house then they watch whatever crap they can find on TV. The remote control for DSTV/GOtv is too difficult for them so they just watch low quality crap. These maids are super bored and will watch absolutely anything to pass time. Plus alot of these nollywood movies are mostly about poor women they can relate with. People from Western Kenya also believe in witchcraft which is a common theme in Nollywood. People from Central and Northern Kenya will never waste their time watching voodoo witchcraft nonsense.

This link shows the general feeling of Kenyans.

NairobiWalker:


You really seem to have a low opinion of people from Western Kenya. It's never good my dear - it's understandable when a Nigerian is ignorant about Kenya but stupid when a Kenyan peddles ignorance about their own country in an attempt to make their community seem superior.

Hbuyosh:
Karibu bro. Ni Iconoclastes hapa wa ule mkahawa mwingine huwa tunakunyia kahawa. Naona uliingia humu majuzi tu!

NairobiWalker:


Hahaha.......boss uko kila mahali bro. Hapo nilikua nimecatch feelings na huyo mshe (nadhani ni dem juu kulikua na dem Skyscraper na hiyo jina). Unaona vile anatuchomea sisi wasee wa Western?
