Just30:
the beginning of another collapse

Nowenuse:


First impressions do matter to gullible people. People who easily judge a book by it's cover.
Sadly, there are more gullible people in the world. So, yes I agree, Kenya's ethic of first impression definitely pays off in many ways.

How embarrassing it is for people to later discover how boring a book is in spite of it's fascinating and captivating cover page! That's Kenya.

I might have not been to Kenya, but the researches and discoveries I've made about Kenya in contrast to the way Kenyans here brag about Kenya has given me a perfect clue to the picture of the country. Sorry, no! But I'll pass.

Using North Korea in analogy to Nigeria speaks of the depth of your ignorance.
North Koreans live in the world's largest prison and have no access to the outer world unless what they are being fed with. Is that the same situation with Nigerians who have the largest access to the internet and satellite television in Africa? Nigerians who are also the most widely travelled Africans? Hell No!

Learn to use your analogies well or go back to your alma mater and ask for a refund of your tuition as I always tell you guys..

What would impress me in Igbo hinterland if I went there? Any pictures? What's that massive that we never hear about outside here. I can guarantee you that Igbo dominance is nothing special. Take the Kikuyu of Kenya, multiply their number by five or six so that they equal Igbo population and they would easily stump anything Igbos have done. Nothing special.

OMANBALA1:


I don't go back and forth on irrelevant stuff. There is no need for this senseless technicality. The first time I heard about Kikuyu was from you here on Nairaland. That says a lot about their exploits. Their population makes them insignificant in these context. List top 5 famous people from Kikuyu and I will list like 20 from Anambra or Ogun .

China now owns more than 70% of Kenya’s external debt
Kenya’s public debt load recently surpassed the 5 trillion shillings mark ($50 billion) , renewing questions over the government’s borrowing binge, how it would show the proceeds in terms of economic growth, and whether it could repay these loans in the long run.

Much of that lending has come from China in recent years, but new data shows that Kenya’s obligations to Beijing go much deeper than many ordinary Kenyans realize. China is now by far Kenya’s largest lender accounting for 72% of bilateral debt by the end of March, according to documents from the Treasury obtained by Kenya’s Business Daily newspaper.

That is a 15-percentage point surge in total debt from 2016 when China accounted for 57% of Kenya’s external debt. That figure is also eight times more than what the next lending partner, France, gave to Kenya.

The Chinese “have become adept at colluding with cabinet secretaries and heads of parastatals into signing opaque commercial agreements that end up saddling our external debt register with expensive loans,” Jaindi Kisero, a columnist with the Kenyan paper, Daily Nation, wrote in May.

Well, maybe our first impressions are world class but dont you think there is more to other parts of the country that makes foreigners settle? Few foreigners want to go back once they land here and they dont necessarily live close to the airport. Life here is easier, better, human even. Despite the bad parts which we never deny having, world citizens overlook that and stay which means its not as outstandingly bothering as you believe. Most things work.

The example of N.K works here because the citizens of both countries have this mad urge to 'defect' if I may use that word. N.Koreans run away to the south any time they have an opportunity and the same is vaguely true of Nigerians who continue to break defection records in the most insane way. The difference between N.Korea and Naija is that while North Koreans live in both a physical and mental prison (brain washing), Nigerians live in a mental prison with no physical barriers. There is no way people can be fleeing a country like that in the 21st century even with all the information they get from a free media only to die in the sea,, and the cycle continues!!! No No No! Hello No!. These guys are fleeing things we have to undertake understudies about. Analogically, N.Korea is like a prison where prisoners are told not to leave and actively prevented from doing so, while Nigeria is like a prison where prisoners are told not to leave but the doors are wide open. Hence, they pour out like water.

Desperation

Nigeria is a basket case. We humiliated Nigeria here severally, its only that we are not in the habit of kicking an opponent when he's down. We are that good. Otherwise if we went full beast mode even you yourself you'd flee Nigeria to experience better life elsewhere. You'd stop keeping chicken with all the risk for Ebola and bird flu.

Nowenuse:


Kenya is a tourism driven economy and of course most foreigners have to feel welcomed to stay.
Most of the foreigners are not there because they love seeing the ugly faces of Kenyans, no! They are there because they want to see the enchanting wildlife while simultaneously enjoying a luxurious stay.

Also, many foreigners feel appreciated and worshipped in Kenya, courtesy of the culture of 'white worship'.
Foreigners also see Kenya as an economically easy country to dominate and control!


Very pointless. Your poor sense analogy makes it easy to question the value of education in Kenya. Is good education exclusive to whites & Indians in Kenya or what?

Migration to Europe through the Mediterranean is a west african thing, not just a Nigerian, many horn Africans are now joining in too! So you have no point here!
Most Latin Americans have a better life than Kenyans yet they still risk it all to the US!

Also, check again, most Nigerians who leave for the journey leave with thousands of dollars. Many of them were just victims of deception.

South east Asians like Phillipinos leave their country far more than Nigerians do!

How about the Chinese many of whom are illegal immigrants in African countries and are even deported?

Give more reasonable points ..

Nowenuse:


Hahaha The Chinese are now beating the Indians to ownership of Kenya.
Very soon, Kenya will be sold to the highest bidder while the likes of TayserMahiri keep sleeping and waking on nairaland. Lol

TayserMahiri:


Same photos since it was launched I dont know maybe weeks or months ago. If I ask for another one proving its really working you will send the second bunch of the test ride (SAME pics) (happened before right here). How do we know they were not built for rats to live in? Get a camera and do a better job.

TayserMahiri:


Thats not possible. How would you know when you're a halfwit yourself?

TayserMahiri:


Unless you're saying the foreigners earn their livelihood from looking at animals. Foreigners are welcome in many parts of the world, its not about being worshiped or dominating. Foreigners are welcome in Dubai, Mexico, Canada etc. Im not sure you are saying they welcome foreigners because they worship them or the foreigners dominate these people instead of the opportunities the economy provides. Thats a very dumb one but am not surprised at all. Am used.

When did the migration to Europe become a west african thing? Why cant West Africans put their countries in order and stop yearning for other people's paradises? The Latin Americans who flee to USA dont have better life than Kenyans. Most of them are on the brink of gruesome murders by gangs (your cult equivalents) if they dont flee. Some of them arrive bearing lifetime scars they got from a narrow escape. And they are mostly slum people not people with thousands of dollars.

Dont mention the SE Asian countries because there is no comparison there with Nigeria. You guys risk death by fleeing the same way N. Koreans risk being shot to get to the south. Its not the same with other asians. Those ones would be considered natural human migration as opposed to Nigerians and Koreans who we would consider to be victims of force majeure or extraordinary circumstances. You cant reduce it to mere deception. Why are you not deceived yourself (as yet ). ? You are giving terrible examples by comparing Chinese migration to Nigerian and West African maritime catastrophes. Every week we have to watch shameless people (sic) disembarking from rickety boats after protracted international squabbles over who will welcome the unwelcome deceptives as though we have no other business. If you could explain the kind of deception we are talking about here I'd be glad because even Samson and Delilah's was more comprehensible. How on Earth? Have you ever interacted with these people?

OMANBALA1:


I am not into tribal emotional sentiments. Everything must not be by collected data, common sense can work in many situations. Do you need data to tell you France produce better players than England? Do you need data to tell you Ethiopians and ,Eriterean and Somalian women are considered the most beautiful in Africa ? Igbos are by far the most enterprising African group and a visit to Igbo hinterland will fix your doubt.

gallivant:


It's an inferiority complex, they can't even hide it. Another idiot claimed Kenya's superior infrastructure was put up to make tourists more comfortable. Their excuses are illogical if not outright stupid!

TayserMahiri:


Only you and your bf No one else calls me that. Meanwhile 98 % of this thread calls you by your primate name the boon [/s]

gallivant:


There is nothing inspiring in Anambra, Owerri is nothing to write home about. Maybe the definition of enterprising is different in Nigeria?

TayserMahiri:


Nigerians have been posting their worst parts because they are saving the awesome parts in Anambra/Oweri for last

obaaderemi:
[s]So another person calls you halfwit? Or is it your accepted name Tasha you were referring to? Hahahaha,this guy is funny.

TayserMahiri:


Like we have no other business apart from making tourists comfortable.
