Kenya needs to start being picky.The gov't needs to prioritize investors or immigrants who bring in specialized skills...people who add value to the economy.Too many average Joe's will only add up to being a huge underclass.
I think that is what they do. They do not just permit anybody who has no business being here to just enter the country and stay.

si muache kuadvertise kenya kwa hawa majamaa tafadhali, hawa watu ni serial migrants ,wataflood huku wakijua vile kuko ,please let their negative perceptions be, its doing us a big favor.
Now, this is what I was saying to Koniyah:

Nairaland is a web forum not read by Nigerians alone, but pretty much everywhere in the world where the English language is being spoken. These foul misconceptions they write about Kenya would obviously spread to other places in the world, ultimately costing us worthy visitors- investors and tourists into country. It would cost us our respect as a people. It would work against us, rather than deter the negative elements. In fact, the negative messages may actually encourage the bad people and scare away the the respectable guys.

The best way to keep away the unwelcome visitors who would cause us problems here is not by allowing the spread of the wrong perceptions about our country. That is just foolish. Rather we should enforce some strong immigration laws that would monitor the sort of people entering the country.

Yes its was almost horible. When I first got to Nairobi there is this young man selling njugu (groundnut) in front of popular bar in embakassi west. I approach him buy ground nut and this is our conversation I can never forget in my life and that's when I have noticed we are not welcomed here.
I told this guy pls do you have 500ksh change if I buy njugu for 30bob, immediately he heard my accent. Replied that do you think this Nigeria why would you be asking me question and I was even trying to calm him down saying I just want to know so that it won't bring argument the next thing he said was I don't sell for Nigerian go away with a punch on my chest. I feel tears in my eyes now remembering that day because all men around there were just laughing I swear such thing can't happen in Lagos or anywhere in Nigeria to any foreigner. I know how many foreigner I adopt before I left Nigeria. Kenyan men are just cruel.....
Gosh! We regret that incident. That man was insane or something.

see what envy is doing to you...?

now, we are a proud people, get that into Kenyan skull... if Nigerians In Kenya transform their abodes into little homelands, what exactly does that remove from you? how is that your business in the first place? why must they act like Kenyans before you deem them acceptable?? can't you guys just let them be?

All I see here is envy and jealousy... nothing else.
Kenya is not targeting those Nigerians living in the country. As long as they are here legally, engaging in legitimate businesses and activities, nobody would disturb. They are at liberty to live their lives here the way they so wish. Those freedoms are guaranteed in our laws.

But here we are talking about the Nigerians flouting our laws, ie staying in the country without the proper documents, running illegal businesses, peddling drugs and other contrabands, raping our women as it happened recently

Nigerian Thugs Rape Policewoman

Kenyan Female Partygoer GANG-RAPED By 6 Nigerians In Umoja




.......why shouldnt Kenya take action against such miscreants?

And then what is annoying here is that u people interpret all this to mean that Kenyans are jealous and intimidated by Nigerians....what a pack of nonsense! Are not there other nationalities living in Kenya......from overseas living large and taking our women? We are only singling out the Nigerians? This is a very myopic way to look at this.

During my last visit to Kenya, here is what I figured out
1. Kenyan men hate Nigerian men because Nigerian men are confident and your girls throw themselves around Nigerian men
If we really hated Nigerian men as u claim, then there really would be no Nigerian people living in this country as now, for we would have long harassed them and forced them out of this country. But here they are, living as free men without anybody disturbing them.
2. Kenyan men are generally lazy men and so feel intimidated by a well doing Nigerian man.
Not trying to sound petty, it's what is easily verifiable by anyone [/size]
Generally lazy and drunk really? U are insane. How then does this country survive with such derelicts running its economy?

If u Nigerians were really as industrious as u believe, then with all the mineral resources Nigeria is blessed with, the big able bodied population, the arable lands......Nigeria today should have been in the league with the likes of Brazil, Indonesia,SA or even Korea. Rather than Nigerians migrating to other countries like Ghana, Kenya and SA for greener pastures, the other way round should instead have been happening today- Kenyans moving to Nigeria for work and studies.

Most of us living here just enjoy the company and motivation of your women unlike Nigerian ladies ... I will talk about that later. .
And let reason it this way if anyone has not commit crime saying been in the country when their visa elapsed is absolute violation of free will of human right since they didn't come in illegal kwani what is the mean if "neutralization"?

Don't over-estimate yourselves brother. What is so special about a nigerian? Kenya is a highly cosmopolitan country, with people from virtually everywhere in the world- I hope u understand that Kenya is one of the leading tourist and foreign investments destinations in Africa. So, a mere Nigerian would excite a Kenyan? Oh puuuliz!

Ok, looney, get me a 2015 AfDB data.

In 2010 Nigeria had not rebased her GDP and so many sectors of the economy was not factored in in any report of 2010. Agricultural, Entertainment, services, firms and real estates were not part of the report of 2010.

We rebased the economy in April 2014 to capture the actual size of the Nigerian economy.

I am tired of holding a lecture session with you.

I have asked you repeatedly to come with a pen and notebook and seat in front of my class.

Now, can you please vamoose from my e-path with finality? I cannot forever sustain this charity education anymore!

No, u get us the 2015 data from the WB. who are the EIU?

Kenya too rebased its economy in 2014. But what does that has to do with the living standards of the people?
Whoever taught u economics clearly was high on meth!!!

Rebasing is intended to capture the actual size of a country's economy, not the the living standards of the people. I.e in Nigeria's case, much of its wealth is obtained through exportation of crude oil, however, it is only 2% of the population that benefits directly from the proceeds of the sales!
The AFDB data is in fact much more credible, for even their surveys and those of the other reputable organizations indicate that indicate that Nigeria ranks below Kenya in terms of the HDI (are u going to dispute that one as well?).

[size=15pt]5 Biggest Slums in the World[/size]

As people continue to migrate away from rural areas and into cities, cities that are growing to devour the land around it, the numbers of people living in slums, shanty towns and informal settlements are skyrocketing.

Currently, there are 200,000 of these communities across the world, according to the United Nation's Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing, most of them in and around cities, and that number is growing exponentially. Even before the economic crisis of 2008, about one third of all city dwellers live in slums, slums which will grow in size by one billion more people within the next twenty years.

While 90 percent of the world's informal settlements are in developing nations -- such as India and Brazil -- they are a worldwide phenomenon and are in European capital and largest American cities. Here are the five largest slums in the world:

Neza-Chalco-Itza: One of Mexico City's many barrios, Neza-Chalco-Itza is the largest slum in the world with roughly four million people. Slums in Mexico city began growing in the early 1900s when the railroad brought new industry -- as well as new industrial zones -- to the city.

As with many slums, most people in Neza-Chalco-Itza live illegally on unauthorized land. However, unlike in most areas, some of Mexico City's slum dwellers also live in vecindades, former mansions abandoned by wealthy families that have been converted into low-income rental apartments. About 10 percent of all the residents of the Mexican capital live in these buildings.

Orangi Town: Technically only 10 years old, the township in Karachi, Pakistan is home to 1.5 million people and still growing. Orangi, with 22 square miles of space, is significantly less dense than most urban slums and also more structured. There are 13 official neighborhoods, each with its own council, which has allowed the township to build its own sewer system. Additionally, as only of 18 districts of Karachi, Orangi has government representation, albeit in the lowest tier of the government.

Dharavi: After Orangi, the largest slum in Asia is Dharavi in Mumbai. About one million people reside on just one square mile of space that was formerly a mangrove swamp. People became flocking to the area as the tanning and textile industries boomed and Dharavi's population density is now 11 times higher than that of the city that encompasses it.

A neighborhood smack in the heart of Mumbai, it retains the emotional and historical pull of a subcontinental Harlem -- a square-mile center of all things, geographically, psychologically, spiritually, National Geographic said in a recent article. Its location has also made it hot real estate in Mumbai, a city that epitomizes India's hopes of becoming an economic rival to China.

In 2011, other Mumbai slums might have surpassed Dharavi in total population, but the figures can only be speculated at this point. What that does mean, though, is that a number of Asia's largest shanty towns are all in the same city (Notably, Mumbai is the fifth biggest city in the world).

Khayelitsha: Cape Town, South Africa is a huge, sprawling city that has given rise to a number of new neighborhoods and townships over the past decade. Khayelitsha is now the biggest of these and the community had a population explosion after apartheid ended and blacks rushed into Cape Town for jobs.

As of the last census in 2005, there were a recorded 400,000 people in Khayelitsha, but that figure is likely much higher. The township's population is incredibly young, with 40 percent of its residents under 19 years old and only about seven percent over the age of 50.

Kibera: A neighborhood in Nairobi, Kenya, the Kibera slum is the second largest in Africa, with anywhere from 200,000 to one million residents. Kibera is often used as the model for the environmental impact of informal settlement. Without state sponsored infrastructure like plumbing, residents resort to using flying toilets, which are just plastic bags that can be tossed onto the street. However, Kibera is also one prototype for urban renewal and slum upgrading projects. For about $300,000, U.N. HABITAT is trying to transform all of Kenya's slums, staring with the construction of roads and other services and an actual mapping of the area.

Rounding out a list of the 10 biggest slums would include communities in Bogota, Colombia; Baghdad, Iraq, Venezuela, and Ghana.

The conditions in slums are surely a seriously problem with global implications, but slums themselves do not have to be a problem for anyone. The global population is booming -- the seven billionth citizen of Earth was born only a month ago -- and people need to live somewhere. In the modern, global economy, urbanization is a trend that is impossible to buck and informal settlements are a necessary part of the process.

There are ways to make these communities more hospitable and less hazardous on an environmental level. Some cities in Colombia are extending public transportation lines out to the slums, which as encouraged economic and urban development.

Additionally, others see the population density of slums as a blessing rather than a curse, and perhaps as the future of cities. New, conceptual low-income housing projects are springing up in the United States that could be a model for the developing world. Single-family stacked houses like the ones currently in Brazil and Mexico could be the prototype for the next generation of cities.

My point here is, the Africanranking.com figures are flawed. They obtained their data from the corrupt NGO's operating in those slums.

here is a 2015 statistics for africa's middle class. son of a runnaway dog.


I gave the dat from the Afdb, and the fact that the survey was conducted in 2010 does not in anyway invalidate the data findings, considering that most of the countries in Africa are expiriencing economic growth, meaning that that is impacting positively-more or less on te living standards of the people. Therefore since 2010, the middle class in all thopse countries- except of course in those countries expiriecing some economic or political trouble (such as Nigeria), the size of the middle class can be assumed to have improved since 2010.

That AFDB survey report was infact backed by the Breton woods institutions, whose such data are widely trusted and quited reliable.
