yorhmienerd: Kenyans and their redundant way of thinking
I am sorry, mate. I was only responding to that Nigerian called lezznjr aka DrivebyKiller aka........who's making it a habit here to derogate Kenyans at any opportunity, in thew threads, some of which have nothing even to do with Kenya. I do not understand his obsession with the country.
lezznjr: Kenya has 92% low income earners and outside Nairobi, the country is a vast , endless slum dome.
Rubbish. Who are u to disparage other people's countries as if your own country is any better? I am looking at the pictures of your cities right now.....boy, are not they messy?
By the way, Kenyans enjoy better standards of life than Nigerians. Your statements above, if were true, then Kenya should be amongst the least developed, the poorest in the world, but it isnt.
lezznjr: A Kenyan isn't in a position to discuss worldview or etiquettes given that only that area of game reserve in Nairobi bears the semblance of civilisation in the whole country--- thanks to a few benevolent Britons who made you earn a living from your primal dispositions.
Although, the Brits could keep the slums out of Nairobi, but couldn't keep the slums out of Kibera and other parts of Kenya as she firmly enstamp herself as the most decrepit habitat in Africa.
A Kenyan talking about world exposure must be thinking the world is one giant game reserve filled with animal escapees like Mauhawk!

Everyone knows who I am. It's an open secret. Yet again you failed like Kenya's numerous attempts at being a power-broker in the African Union.
When you first made your erroneous assumption five days ago, I played blind so you'd reveal yourself...and as predictable as the perverted inclinations of your fellow countrymen, you did.
Hello, Coldplay89! Are Kenyan girls so unattractive that you conjure up images of Nigerian females to fuel your _masturbatory releases?
One more weapon against you.

Do u recommend that Kenyan ladies should therefore indulge in this repugnant habit in order to look beautiful in the eyes of Nigerians? Are u people that superficial? Kenyan ladies dont bleach, but they are still waayy pretty than Nigerian women Google Images.

lezznjr: Lolz! Every country has it's fair share of slums.
I'm only saying Kenya is number 1 in Africa.
So u think Kenya is a slum-ridden country?
[b]Real estate remains a booming opportunity for Africa-focused investors for good reasons. The growth of Africa’s cities creates a demand for increased volumes of high-quality commercial and residential real estate.
The rise of the urban middle class drives retail property development, particularly as modern shopping malls spread across the continent.
A growing number of multinational companies are searching for office space in the newly emerging cities. The rise of regional tech hubs and an expanding oil and gas sector creates job opportunity with no place to house the employees.
Africa’s population boom is also a burdening factor on Africa’s cities. A need for mass market affordable housing, high-end properties and all in-between stems from the diversity in the multiplying populations, including middle to high-income locals and young entrepreneurial.
As an investor, these five countries offer the greatest investment opportunity in real estate (provided you find the right developer as a partner):
Angola
Angola is Africa’s fifth largest economy with Luanda and Huambo as its major cities. Despite the recent construction of new properties across the both cities, primarily Luanda, the country suffers from a lack of good quality office and residential space. Surveys reveals that the majority of the near 300,000 square meters of office space brought to the market during 2014 – 2015 was already pre-leased or sold before officially opening. Although oil prices have fallen, the oil sector remains the primary occupier of local real estate with no signs of letting up. Prices for office space, accordingly, are the highest in Africa at $150/m2 per month in Luanda (the 2nd highest in Africa is comparatively $65/ m2 less).
A growing industrial property market – largely associated with the oil sector – is fully occupied, particularly in the Luanda port area. Some space is available in Viana to the east of the city but with strict criteria for potential tenants (i.e., many potential tenants cannot get access to space). Officials are consequentially looking to boost warehouse space, especially as port activity increases in the near future.
The retail market, although in its infancy, also provides a high return on investment with prices at $120/m2 per month and a rapidly expanding middle class in Luanda.
The residential market may be the least attractive in the country. “In the country” is the key word. Downward pressure on residential prices from falling oil prices still means that you pay more than 3x the price for a house compared to the 2nd most expensive market in Africa.
Nigeria
Nigeria is Africa’s largest economy with Lagos and Abuja as its major cities. You get mix reviews from developers in Lagos and Abuja on the effects of recent construction. Capital has been poured extensively into both cities. Yet the prices in both markets are consistently at two of the most expensive. Lagos office space rents for $85/m2 per month while the Abuja office space, despite being in a market nearly 1/4 the size of Lagos, still rents for US$72/m2 per month.
As Africa’s sixth fastest growing economy (according to IMF projections 2015-2019), Nigeria is likely the most attractive market for retail property. Private equity funds have been active in this space in Nigeria for several years but prices remain high. It is home to the 3rd and 4th most expensive market for retail space at $80/m2 and $72/m2 per month in Lagos and Abuja respectively. New construction was delayed a little prior to the election but has resumed to normalcy with prices not projected to significantly drop until late 2016, if not later, as population growth in Lagos remains one of fastest in Africa. Housing prices accordingly still sit at the top of the range, only ‘outpaced’ by the aforementioned Angola. An executive house with 4 bedrooms goes for $8,000 and $8,500 per month in Lagos and Abuja…again, in Angola, the same property costs about $25,000.
Egypt
Egypt is Africa’s third largest economy with Cairo, Alexandria and Giza as its major cities. Egypt is not Africa’s fastest growing economy – not even breaking the top 20 in Africa for the next five years. But its retail market is booming and looks to stay so in the near future. The drop in the retail sector during the Arab Spring hurt the growing sector back in 2013 through 2014.
The return to growth in 2015 begins with regaining lost production to match pre-Arab Spring numbers and then expanding at a rate that could surpass pre-Arab Spring projections. Cairo retail space accordingly is renting for $100/m2 per month with some insiders estimating that the price could rise in the short term as consumer spending grows and retail development slowly catches up to match the demand.
Office space rents for $35/m2 per month in Cairo, making it one of top 15 expensive cities. But the presence of a significant amount of office space and rather slowly re-emerging economy (especially if you exclude the retail sector) limits the upside for this subsector. The industrial and residential market are similarly in the same situation with pretty moderate prices compared to other major African cities.
Mozambique
Offshore natural gas and a growing middle class underscores the changing real estate landscape in Mozambique and the country’s global reputation. It is projected as the 2nd fastest growing economy in Africa over the next five years, only trailing Ethiopia. Maputo is its major city (and capital). Although rather small for a major African city (with less than 2 million people), real estate prices show little sign of dropping.
Office space rents for nearly $40/m2 per month. Demand rapidly increases as banks, telecoms, and diplomatic/aid agencies consume the limited amount of good quality properties. The arrival of oil and gas executives has effectively led to the conversion of high luxury houses into office space until property developers can satiate the sector’s appetite.
The Mozambican government’s plans to invest heavily in the country’s industry and manufacturing market is pushing up industrial real estate as companies rush in. Prices at the ports, particularly for warehouses, is one of Africa’s most expensive. But most estimates and talk coming from government officials suggest this subsector may not be anywhere near as attractive as the office space subsector as the government may fit a good amount of the bill which should create downward pressure on prices.
Retail, although in a similar infancy stage, has a greater upside as consumer spending skyrockets. Retail space rents for $40/m2 per month in Maputo, which makes it one of the ten most expensive African cities for such space. Beyond that, it is also a city that will rapidly see rising incomes post-gas production and export in the near term.
South Africa/Kenya
Both countries are still ‘top opportunities.’ Retail space is attractive in both countries, specifically in Johannesburg (SA), Cape Town (SA), and Nairobi (Kenya). Retail space is the 5th most expensive at US$60/m2 per month in both Johannesburg and Cape Town and 8th expensive at US$48/m2 per month in Nairobi. Although attractive on the surface, insiders suggest that recent strikes in the South African market and the terrorism in Kenya has slowed the demand from potential retail tenants as the local economies flush out the internal issues. Office space prices moderated in the past 12 months in Kenya as business has been hesitant to expand until the government addresses its suddenly re-emerging terrorism concern. All that being said, we are discussing Africa’s 2nd largest and 8th largest economies in South Africa and Kenya respectively with Kenya as the projected tenth fastest growing economy in Africa through 2019. What seems risky to today will pay dividends in the long run…at least the numbers suggest so. Comments Author Kurt Davis Published June 4, 2015 Direct Link[/b]
lezznjr: You can't even stand me in sarcasm or blunt insults. My blunt epithets to you is a pure reflection of my perception of Kenya a country known for slums and Obama's controversial birthing circumstances.
lezznjr: The OP of that thread, by name Tonyebarnister is a hired goon of the opposition party. He is free to write and post anything. He has been called out and has tried to retract his steps.
You can't even stand me in sarcasm or blunt insults. My blunt epithets to you is a pure reflection of my perception of Kenya a country known for slums and Obama',s controversial birthing circumstances
But u know Kenya is not just about slums and indigence, if that's your perception of the country. Welcome to Kenya!!!!!!
lezznjr: South Africa is the most developed economy in Africa. It isn't Nigeria or Kenya.
Please Stop this blind patriotic madness!
Nigeria South Africa Egypt aren't supposed to be put in one sentence with Kenya except we're discussing sports. These 3 countries are currently locked in a race for Africa's sole representative in the UN permanent seat to wield veto power.
I singled out Kenya and Nigeria for purposes of comparison with the othher African countries. Ofcourse I am aware that SA is by far the most developed country in Africa, and I wouldnt refute that. But there are other African countries that have made some economic progress in the continent, not just SA.

Fine, but why so much hatred against Kenyans? What did they do to u? Do u despise us this nuch ....because of those petty banters we exchange online? Why so much spite.
lezznjr: [b]Nah, you belittled Nigeria falsely without taking accounts of facts.
You said Kenya is ahead of Nigeria in all aspects, that's the tittle of your thread. It is more horrendous than it is misleading.
The sheer monstrosity of your weak lies!!!
Kenya's poverty rate is 43% Nigeria's , by 2015 world bank standard is 33%
Nigeria's PPP and middle class is larger than Kenya's on sheer numbers and percentage!
Nigeria has more geopolitical tentacles than Kenya.
Our multinationals are spread in western and eastern African countries than Kenya's!
You mentioned mobile money about kenya but it never crossed your mind that only poor countries without world standard banking institution and infrastructure operate mobile banking like Kenya does. The world is on E and internet banking not mobile banking.
Only 42 percentage of Kenyans are connected to their national power grid despite being just twice the population of Lagos.
Nigeria is 50% despite vandalism from gas installations.
You owe every Nigerian a front page apology for your ignorant thread!
[/b]
It's okay, if this is what u believe about Kenya. But Kenya nevertheless is the nost developed country in he whole of East, Central, and Southern Africa. Only SA exceeds it (by far) interms of development in this region.
lezznjr: Are you having logical impairment? In your last post you criticised data from world bank here:
What's the matter with you kenyans? You can't keep a straight line in an argument?
World bank has placed your poverty rate and power distribution rates higher than Nigeria. Fück stop! Deal with it and keep your frustrations to yourself.
Even within those who work in Kenya, a whopping 92% are low income earners. What's that tell you? East Africa has the highest poverty and descriptive conditions in all of Africa . You can't change that on the pages of a Nigerian forum.
A mountain troglodyte like you who shares common habitat with reptiles and chimps should be grateful for the internet which accords you a faint taste of civilisation.
Dunderhead!
Kenya and Nigeria, despite being the most developed economies in Africa, they both still bear challenges that they need to work hard to overcome. They are both still developing countries after all. But your arguments, always portraying Kenya as a failed nation is wrong. Nigeria is not ahead of Kenya in every ramification, neither is Kenya better than Nigeria in every way. .
These insults u keep piling on Kenyans, your fellow Africans is wrong. It is uncalled for. It is not very civil of to be doing that. Why do u hate Kenyans this much? What did we do to u to deserve this tirade?
This is the map of Africa by the UNDP, showing the developed and the less developed countries in the continent.
See Kenya, see Nigeria? Both countries are relatively developed.
benzems: This girl is not from Kenya Kenyas are black how come white
My boy! Why do u Nigerians have this notion that Kenyans are generally dark skinned? Not all Kenyans are dark skinned. If u have ever seen South africans or ZImbabweans or Rwandese...Kenyans are pretty much like them, for the majority of Kenyans are ethnic Bantus (around 60%). If u have ever seen Somalis, Ethiopians, Djiboutis, Eritreans......Kenyans are like them, for around 10% of Kenyans are Cushites. There are Nilotic tribes whose skin color range from very dark to light skin- like those tribes whose photo u have uploaded above, they are dark But my first photo is of people of the same community. There are also quite a number of Asians, Europeans, Indians who live in Kenya and have intermarried with the indigenous tribes.
In Kenya......it's very unusual this days to send such info to your organiztion via letters. This days we use emails, whatsapp, pm on fb and twitter, but not like that. Even if she is working for an organization that has not embraced these new communication technologies, seriously, writing such a casual, badly scribbled note to the boss? And is she insane to include such details about her husband using viagra.......and the househelp. Implying what really?
V0lv0: So Drivebykilla is lezz and here I was thinking that I finally found someone dumber than ur ass. If I knew it was you from the beginning I would not have even started this to begin with. You are known for talking a bunch of bull crap and my time is too precious to continue arguing about nonsense with you. Believe what you want to believe.
You are only sour because I called you out on ur bullshiit. The fact still remains is not all men are oyinbo obsessed, have inferiority complex and obsessed with light skin as Nigerian men and hence I said don't say all guys.
Secondly I mentioned that Kenya is not as backwards as ur mind as is far better then Nigeria and many other west African countries. Its a fact so why is it paining you.
Lastly if you believe Nigeria is up north and whatever country is first and last tourist destination attractions is all up to u and ur opinion. I don't care anymore.
Now leave me alone and next time you come across my username whilst using another username. Let me know so that I don't waste my time further. Thanks
I dont think u are Kenyan, lady.But we thank u so much for valiantly defending us despite the senseless insults aimed at you by that insane chap. You dint deserve them. Dont mind him.
Thank u for trying to present the positive image of Kenya. We appreciate it.
lezznjr: I have found holes in all your sources. The link you brought to show Kenya is the highest donor to the UN turned out to be false.
The link you brought to support your claims that over 70 percent of Nigerians are poor turned conflicting when you furnished another to state it is 80 million and yet another to says 61% !
The link you produce to stage Kenya is amongst the world's top financial donors to the UN turned out to be misleading!
And now you went to YouTube to bring proof that Kenya has more multinationals in Africa?
You're must be sedated from pap!
You poked holes even on the UN own reports, yet failed to present your factual reports.
1)True, Kenya may not be the highest contributor to the UN, but u faileds to prove that it does not contribute at all becos, according too u, it is too poor! We proved that indeed that Kenya is the largest contributor to the UN, contrary to your claims.... 2)It is the Nigerian media that made those reports about poverty rates, with their estimates oscillating between 60 and 70pc. And if u have been to school bvefore and studied statistics, such estimates do no have to be absolutely accurate. They never are. However they are the true reflection of the situation on the ground: a)that the majority of of Nigerians are living in poverty despite the country being terribly rich. b)Other credible sources such as the AfDB have shown that that Kenya's size of the middle class and the poor class is roughly equal in size whilst in Nigeria, the middle class is considerably smaller than the low class citizens. 3)You have no reason to whatsoever reject Youtube as a veritable source of information. It is your lame attempt to deny defeat. Youtube is an interface no different from google, another medium used to spread information, but in video format. Would u not then believe the information from say the UN on Youtube, even when it's them that posted it on Youtube?
In intellectual debates, blogs, wiki are not acceptable as verifiable and authentic sources of data. Why? They are all subjects of individual provision and opinion. YouTube is even worse.
You're just fun to me to kill time.
Your mental muscles are still at their infantile stages
But u have even rejected those reputable sources. So what are we supposed to do? BTW, this are not just blogs, they are very respectable media houses. Their news are therefore very credible.
lezznjr: And you're citing YouTube as a verifiable source data and authority? Did you go to school at all?
You will soon browse through the internet in your frenzied hysteria to equal my knowledge depth until you find your momma's nudes

[size=14pt]Kenya overtakes South Africa as biggest investor in African countries[/size]
[s][b]What's the matter now? You're afraid to quote me directly!
If your enlarged clitøris isn't bigger than your entire brain mass you will realise Kenya is a primitive country with a wretched $53 billion GDP, 42 percentage power grid distribution , 40% poverty rate, still practising mobile banking because your country can't afford world standard banking institution and infrastructure causing your primal citizens to still be carrying money in their SIM cards, when the rest of Africa has gone on to internet banking!
Nigeria's power distribution is 50%, we're doing internet banking, has only 33% poor citizens and have a middle class bigger than the entire population of Kenya!
You're a ghetto bird, a slummy, dick-groping hoe whose education never progressed beyond idle chitchat and gossips from your male customers. Damn! I heard your vagina walls are so slacked from fisting you can't even control your pee, it leaks out when you cough or laugh involuntarily.
Nigeria is the first country in Africa to build and launch an all black satellite into orbit, biittch. We're a space power. We have multinationals firms and companies scattered across Africa.

Your countrymen and women were dying from wild animals until the British set up a game reserve for you.
Kenya has the largest slums in all of Africa!
Africa has 20 slums in 53 countries with a rough estimated population of 1 billion people, how did tiny insignificant Kenya with just 45 million take the first position in slums having 7 most decrepit slums in Africa and no.3 in the world?
You should be sold off as a sex slave to ISIS to compensate for you birth deficit and natural mundanity.
When tourist visits Kenya they come to see wild animals and sympathise with the human-apes like you and your ancestry for their inability to evolve beyond wild animals and jungle baboons.
No wonder you laugh like a Hyena and trade your vagina as bonobos trade handshake!
Your panties are as dirty as your slums and your vagina cysts has progressed like a behemoth cancer into your brain cells for you, a slumming biittch to compare your backwater Kenya with Nigeria which is better and more influential and powerful than Kenya can ever be.
Two bit petty hustling prostitutê! [/s] [/b]
All this.......a pack of rubbish.
We Kenyans do not just make such wild claims without backing them up with proof.
lezznjr: You're a poker faced liar who will go to any length to lie!
Stop posting links here. You don't read your link before citing them! You have killed us with more lies than we can possibly survive!
All you do is give false report and back them up with reports you don't even comprehend or bother reading.
Go treat your academic alexithymia and apologise. Then I will start my lecture class with you in the front seat.
U have not sufficiently disproved any of my lies, except declaring them as lies. U can use all the vocabularies in the English lexicon to insult me, discredit my info.....but as long as u are unable present your own evidence to prove your claims, my arguments stand supreme.

[size=14pt]Kenya clears Sh4.4 billion arrears at UN[/size]
[b]Kenya has entered the United Nations roll of honour after being named as one of the UN member states which have cleared all their outstanding dues.
Out of 193 countries, only 31 were fully paid up as of October 11. During the 2012-2013 UN financial year, Kenya paid over Sh4.3 billion as its contribution to the regular budget.
Under-Secretary-General Yukio Takasu paid tribute to Kenya, saying the fulfilment of her financial obligations in its entirety is a clear indication of its commitment to the virtues espoused by the global organisation.
“It is encouraging to note that the number of nations clearing their assessed contributions has gone up from 18 last year to 31,” said Mr Takasu, as he presented the 2012 UN financial report at the United Nation Headquarters in New York.
And a statement from Kenya’s representative to the United Nations Macharia Kamau said the government respects multilateralism and recognises the important role played by the organisation in global affairs as enshrined in the UN Charter.
“We can not afford to ignore our financial commitments to this august body,” said the envoy.
Mr Kamau added that following the gesture, the Kenyan Mission to the United Nations will earn more respect at the assembly of nations and “we can now engage fully, with pride and dignity, in all the functions, privileges and voting rights of the international system.”
The contributions paid by Kenyans include dues for the UN regular budget, peacekeeping, tribunals and Capital Master Plan. The UN operations are financed by both voluntary and assessed contributions from member states.
The regular two-year budgets of the UN and its specialised agencies are funded by contributions from member states after the General Assembly approves the budget and determines the assessment for each member, broadly basing it on the relative capacity of countries to pay[/b].
