There are black Americans who have been living in Nigeria for years as well. They live and work quietly in mostly Abuja. Maybe not as many as what you would find in Kenya and Ghana especially but they are there.
It’s like a Ghanaian asking you why there aren’t so many black Americans in Kenya like in Ghana. If you answer by saying they go to Ghana for spirituality then Ghanaians would also accuse you of limiting the diversity of experiences of those black Americans travelling to Ghana to just spirituality.

Granted. This is a valid observation. The presence of black Americans in different countries can be attributed to a range of experiences and motivations. There are various reasons why Black Americans might choose to live in or visit different parts of Africa, could include economic opportunities, historical ties, educational pursuits, or simply personal preferences. It’s important not to generalize, each person’s story and purpose for being in these countries can vary widely. Atleast from my own experience, most of the black Americans in Kenya are simply moving away from the madness in America, gun violence, mass shootings, crazy inflation, a sense of belonging, you know it feels great being around people who look exactly like you, zero racism, for the first time you can simply exist in peace without looking over your shoulder as a black man/woman etc and the fact that Kenya offers an ideal quality of life comparative to what they had in America. My concern was with the naive guy's monomaniacal perspective of African Americans.

BeforeJuly:
You've clearly lost the plot because how does a passport bro equate genuine black American tourists? They are called PASSPORT BRO'S for a reason smart ass. Pretty sure you've never heard the passport bro tag all your life. Thats the only logical reason anyone would react like you have.
You're on here trying to 'educate' on black unity and power when that guys whole brand and personality is finding the cheapest place where his dollars wield more power and the girls are willing to do anything for the dollars and dreams of a green card.
That guy has a whole ass community of passport bros (they literally call themselves that).
Your smart ass should watch this video because clearly you do not know nothing about him. I really hope you're bright enough to grasp what they say and imply in this video too because I'm not so convinced you would.

So you think Kenya is the cheapest country in Africa, cheaper than Nigeria ? Jokes on you! There are tonnes of cheap aass countries like Nigeria where the value of the local currency is useless and a typical American would become an instant millionaire. But they dont go there. Why? Because of other things, including the quality of life, constant access to electricity, etc. Thats why Nigerians and other Africans are trooping to Kenya and vlogging about it day and night. It's important to understand that the conversation around black American travelers, including passport bros, isn't just about stereotypes or seeking relationships abroad. There are layers to this conversation that touch on economic freedom, cultural exchange, and even the search for identity outside the confines of Western society.

Your claim doesn't fully explain the diversity of motivations behind black Americans traveling abroad. Reducing the movement to a simple narrative of exploitation overlooks the complexity of why humans seek different experiences and connections in other countries.

It's also crucial to be careful not to lump everyone into the same box. Travel, whether for leisure, relationships, or self-discovery, is multifaceted, and discussions around black unity and empowerment can apply to many of these contexts, or NOT!

I encourage you to look deeper into the various reasons behind these movements and not just focus on the surface-level interpretation. Watch the initial video I shared that drove you nuts to understand why the guy interviewed (not Auston) moved to Kenya with his mum and has stayed for 10 years. Why didnt they move to Nigeria for instance? Thats all explained.

BeforeJuly:
Is this some joke or are you that obtuse?

Do you know how you look fighting tooth and nail for a passport bro?
Man you need to have some shame for real. Tf.

You sound frustrated over a simple video. According to self-hating co.ck- suckers like you white people who visit Africa are tourists but black Americans who do the same are passport bros. What then do we call Nigerians drowning in the high seas heading for Europe?

BeforeJuly:
Man are you on something? How does me stating facts about passport bros warrant this your response?

Can you read?

Does the Nigerian sis whose video I posted who also incessantly praises and lives in Kenya also qualifies as a passport bro as per your Fox news interpretation?

BeforeJuly:
I've watched many 'passport bro' YouTube content in the last couple of days and I've realized these guys add no value besides injecting a few thousand dollars into the economy. They don't pay tax and just want to fulfill all their lustful fantasies they'd pay huge buck for in the USA.

Do Nigerians add any value where they go? Maybe we should start charging a 'fantasy tax' to balance the scales!

BeforeJuly:
You need to stop posting 'passport bros' as some sort of Kenyan win here.

I've watched that guys content. All he has in his head is the cheap hook ups he can get in Kenya and Africa at large.

I bet you wouldn't cry if I posted nigerian refugees in Kenya. Someone should tell you that Kenya offers more than just cheap thrills; there's rich culture, beautiful landscapes, and, well... actual respect for people!

Kenya's Health Care System Ranked Second Best in Africa - Numbeo Report

Kenya has been ranked as having the second-best healthcare system in Africa by Numbeo - the world’s largest cost of living database.

Numbeo, a crowd-sourced global database of quality-of-life data, revealed that only South Africa beat Kenya in terms of quality health care offered to citizens.

Noteworthy, Kenya was the only East African nation in the top 7 countries in Africa offering quality healthcare.

Kenya scored 61.1 in Health Care Index which was bettered by South Africa at 64.0.

“Health Care Index is an estimation that evaluates the overall quality of the healthcare system, including factors such as healthcare professionals, equipment, staff, doctors, and costs,” Numbeo explains.

The Health Care Index is crucial as it provides an assessment of the healthcare infrastructure, services, and resources available in a specific location.

Apart from the Health Care Index, Numbeo further uses the Health Care Exp Index which looks at the quality of a healthcare system by emphasising the positive aspects.

In the Health Care Exp Index, Kenya scored an impressive 108.3 but was again bettered by South Africa at 115.3.

Other countries that featured in the top seven included Tunisia, Algeria, Nigeria, Egypt and Morocco.

Only South Africa and Kenya had a Health Care Index of above 60 with Tunisia and Algeria scoring 57.0 and 54.7 respectively.

Nigeria, Egypt and Morocco were all under 50 on the Health Care Index at 48.7, 47.5 and 44.7 respectively.

The ranking comes at a time when President William Ruto’s administration is seeking to improve the healthcare system through the rollout of the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF).

Once fully implemented, Kenya will join an elite club dominated by developed nations which offer universal health coverage to its citizens.

Haiti Citizens Jam Radio Stations After Kenyan Court Bans Ruto From Deploying Police

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Radio stations across Haiti got jammed with calls just hours after a court in Kenya blocked the deployment of a U.N.-backed police force to help fight gangs in the troubled Caribbean country.

Many callers wondered and demanded: What's next?

Few know.

Uncertainty and fear have been spreading since Friday's ruling, with violence reaching new records as gangs tighten their grip on Haiti's capital and beyond.

"Absent a robust external mission that would be deployed very soon, we are facing quite a tragic scenario in Haiti," warned Diego Da Rin with International Crisis Group.

Gangs control an estimated 80% of Haiti's capital. In recent weeks, they have attacked and seized power in previously peaceful communities, killing and injuring dozens, leading to widespread concerns that they will soon control all of Port-au-Prince.

The number of people reported killed last year in Haiti more than doubled to nearly 4,500, and the number of reported kidnappings surged by more than 80% to nearly 2,500 cases, according to the most recent U.N. statistics.

Meanwhile, Haiti's National Police is losing officers at "an alarming rate," while those still in service continue to be overwhelmed by gangs, according to a U.N. report released this week. More than 1,600 officers left the department last year, and another 48 were reported killed.

"All I will say at this time is that this is a major setback for the people of Haiti who yearn to have a stable country to live in," said Roosevelt Skerrit, Dominica prime minister and former head of a Caribbean trade bloc known as Caricom. "The decision of the Kenyan court warrants an emergency meeting of the friends of Haiti to determine with the Haitian people the plan B."

Bahamian Prime Minister Philip Davis did not return messages for comment, nor did the office of Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness.

Hugh Todd, Guyana's foreign minister, told The Associated Press that the trade bloc will likely meet soon to discuss the implications of the ruling as it awaits word from Jamaica.

"We will have to see if there is any legal space for us to operate," he said, referring to whether there are any other legal options that might allow Kenya and other countries to move forward.

U.N. officials have not commented since the court ruling.

Many Haitians grumbled about Friday's ruling, including Marjorie Lamour, a 39-year-old mother of two who sells women's lingerie out of a small container she carries with her. She is forced to keep her load light in case she must run from gangs.

"Some days I'm here all day, and then there's a shooting and I'm running, and I come back home without a cent," Lamour said.

Da Rin, with International Crisis Group, said the mission backed by the U.N. Security Council did not specify that Kenya would be the one to lead it. He said it opens the possibility that another country could take the reins without additional meetings and approval from the council.

As Haiti awaits the possibility of a plan B, Da Rin said he worries that the situation could only worsen, especially given the recent arrival of former Haitian rebel leader Guy Philippe, who has not supported the Kenyan-led mission.

"With this news, the desperation of Haitians to see a way out of the security crisis increases," he said. "They may make some slightly radical decisions."

IGpro1:
please those two names are not Nigeria,and those guys are definitely not Nigerians.

So without passport the Kenya police believed he was Nigerian because he said so.

Look closer they look more like Ghanians and their names OVIE OPIA and the other Sound Ghanian to me.(no pun intended).

Last time it was an EThiopian claiming Nigerian when he was caught commuting a crime.
I knew there was something fishyabout the investigation.
EVERYONE WANTS TO HIDE UNDER THE NANE NIGERIAN TO COMMIT CRIME. And the lazy security men would rush to believe without adequate evidence.
THE NIGERIAN HIGH COMMISSION NEEDS TO BRING SUCH PEOPLE HOME AND CONDEMN THEM TO A FIRING SQUAD.

They are Nigerian my bru. Johnbull is from Delta state in a village known as Obiariku. He has spent much of his life in Asaba. His parents are poor farmers and he has brothers. Back in Nigeria the relatives used to know he is a rich business person in Kenya.

ProblemChild1:
😂😂 But the ghanaians no go gree. Imagine the guts to compare Accra with Nairobi. I still dey wonder which people wey dey supply weed for these ghanaians

theenchanter:
don't let the headline fool u, it's a click bait.

There are three suspects in the murder case. a Nigerian, among the suspects was arrested at airport. Two others are Kenyans but the news made it sound like the Nigerian arrested is the prime suspect.

I tried to look out for the Nigerian name in d news, but nothing could be found, I guess it's like that cos he's still a suspect and not an offender.

Name you said....

GeneralDae:
Lol. Not that I enjoy this dick measuring context most times (I'll just do this for fun), but at least there's a Kenyan YouTuber who visited Abuja and her comment section had so many Kenyans saying Abuja is more beautiful and serene than Kenya.

She also made it clear it's her best West African capital and she prefers it so much to Lagos (not that it matters much though).

So at least Abuja has some pass marks here and there 😄😂
Are there videos of Kenyan bloggers visiting Accra where the comment section has many Kenyans saying Accra is better than Nairobi in any way? 😄

Note: I don't believe Abuja is a city in the mode of Lagos and Nairobi in terms of activities. Abuja perhaps wasn't built as a commercial nerve so I wouldn't be doing that comparison.

I only gave a reply to your question.

Abuja is ok for what she does just like Washington is ok for a capital. I wouldn't say impressive except for the wide lane roads. The youtuber was a little on the hyping side to attract Nigerian viewership and Kenyans supported her as is the norm of supporting one of our own. But for Accra you will never find one single Kenyan or Nigerian wowed by the zoo. I would classify it in the 4th of 5th tier of African cities with the likes of Bamako, Kampala, N'Djamena etc.

vaxx:
Ghana is a tiny dot to make such difference.

I totally agree tenfold. Tiny and irrelevant.

It is what is obtainable in Ghana that publicised Ghana not just her people.

Like what exactly?

American coming here can trace their slave trade history down here.

Exactly. Thats the only thing they come back for, back to the roots Kunta Kinte. The other thing you have is some good but not excellent PR and the fact that Obama praised you in the past which multiplied the number of black americans who wanna return to the motherland. If not for Obama the Kenyan, Ghana would still be an irrelevant Togo-level country with a Ouagadougou-level Accra. Needless to say, most re utterly dissapointed by the backwardness obtainable.

Our northern city will passed away as a london to turkana . While Nairobi has nothing special that Accra lacks

Which is your northern city? I can name a few cities in Nigeria but not a single one from Ghana except Accra.

Was Ghana hyped when she was adjudged with top five best electrified country in africa way ahead of kenya . At least this can be addressed physically.

Where is this report?[/quote]
