Kazikazi:
So are you suggesting we shouldn't expose lies? Are you saying Kenyans are perfect beings who doesn't need correction or rebuke? Is there anything wrong to defend your people who are being disgraced by Kenyan media?
I have been forced to be in this forum.They dragged me here.Its their deceitfulness which made me to come n I am trying to correct that.

Read that again. I also became a member of this forum to defend my country. After years, I came to realize it's tiresome. When I see people saying wrong things about my country, I correct them in simple words.

I haven't mentioned any nationality in my post. I haven't said Kenyan or Namibian. Who said Kenyans are perfect? None of us are and will be

tlann:
china wants to control everything you saw want happen sri lanka zambia and djibouti are next the future of our continet is uncertain i cant say i have no words

Thank you for understanding

Kazikazi:
We tried so much to be polite and nice to them but it never worked. They ended disgracing us in all international media.We were patience,but they misunderstood our patience for foolishness.We allowed them to bring their tourists in Tanzania since we have more tourist attractions than them,but they went ahead and claim mount Kilimanjaro is theirs.
Check their print media,go to quora,have a look at you tube its the same,they don't talk anything good about us.
We are tired.We want to expose them.Let all Africans see them as they are...selfish,greedy,proud,liers,hungry,corrupt,poor and tribalists.
The time of sugarcoating them is gone.Its difficult..almost impossible to have a good or meaningful relationships with a proud Kenyan.

okay. But why does it matter what they say about you? Actions speak more than words. Sometimes we debate for our country because we fear the words people say about us is going to lower the respect we have. . . . just imagine how a person could get respected by saying this and that? By disrespecting others? If someone keeps saying they are the best criticising others, people aren't going to hear his words but his personality

very true ednited china developed by using its own construction companies the state owned companies they didnot contract companies from europe and america as far as i know no african country owns a state owned construction company chinese are busy building substandards roads in africa which get pothholes after 1month maybe because they cheap that is why africa governments run to them european companies do a better job but with need local companies to build our own roads not foreigners america was built by americans not foreign contractors at the moment africa is bleeped up

I fear China. What is the destination of Africa? It just bugs me how we have changed. Ancient Ethiopian Architecture was speechless. We don't know when we have lost it. For example, Lalibela churches were built by Ethiopians themselves but still it is a miracle how it was constructed. No one knows how they acheived that.
when you come and see the construction made by Ethiopians today in Ethiopia, you won't beleive the same nation who did that did this. Even interesting architecture existed in West Africa, Mali.

I don't know when we lost it all. If we all had moved the same pace we were moving as in the past, we wouldn't have been here today.



How correct and leading is our curriculum? How literate is our system making us? Africa is ruined all way. . . .What you think is the next generation like? How sure are we to tell things are going to get better?

Jonraid:
Well, we haven't heard any major attacks since the Westgate and Garissa University attacks. If attacks happen,they are mainly in form of IED(improvised Explosive Devices) attacks near the boarders. The IED attacks have been thwarted by the Kenya army and the boarder patrol using armoured vehicles.We are now safe, that explains why tourism is back on its feet after the scrapping of the travel advisories that affected the sector. Our intelligence has improved and we are becoming more formidable in the fight against terrorism. As for debt, China isn't Kenya's top creditor contrary to reports. Almost half of our debt is internal with the other half being external. This is great. As the top man Uhuru puts it,the debt is manageable. We haven't yet reached the red line.We have a healthy mix of debt, various lenders have given us credit. What we need is just to develop a clear debt management plan . We are now financing projects off the treasury balance sheets through PPP(Public Private Partnerships). The EU just signed a big deal with us. A five billion dollar 2018-2022 development plan. Many entities are interested in Kenya. Then again,the UN came with a 1.9 billion dollar windfall. You then have JICA(Japan), the Americans,the UK, France and the Netherlands who have had good deals with us recently.What do they all want from us? .. We just hope this engagements are going to be a win win for us and to our partners.

Good answer! I hope you are right.

Kazikazi:
If a Kenyan won't understand you after this explanation...

Let's all be honest here. All of us aren't doing the right thing. We need to talk or discuss properly rather than pointing finger on each other. If some one says something wrong, we need to ask him vital questions to bring him to our point. . . not laughing at eachother.

It wasn't necessary laughing on your Kenyan brothers being attacked by their policemen. I know how mad you are at them because you haven't exchanged nice words with them. But still,

tlann:
about alshabaab i think it is well contained we have not heard alshabaab attacks for years except from near border areas with somalia which are not a cause of concern anyway i think it is stupid generally for AU headquarters to be constructed by chinese it is neocoloniasim as i view china is all over africa

Do the analogy, the AU thing may be happening to all of us the other way round. Chinesse hand is on every project that is being made in Africa. How confident does it make us talking about the mega projects made by China? Because,

1. We didn't made it, Chinese did

2. It is unclear how the Chinese negotiated to construct many projects with their expense

How much do we understand that we are strengthening the power of China while weakening our people? African nations aren't being given chance to have an experience in construction in their own country. If they couldn't build in their country, where could they? Our government keep giving the Chinese the chance by blocking its own nation opportunity.

Today, Africa is feeding the other population of China. While it's own nation is hungry. Is this not true?


And what do we discuss here? THE LOOK OF OUR CITIES.

tlann:
ask me anything i will answer you honestly as i can no insults

Thanks, but why did you even mention about insult in the first place??

Anyways, I would really love if you answered the three questions I have raised previously. 'The beautiful questions'

Jonraid:
We've practically answered everything my dear.This sounds more like revision of the same same issues we've said! Just because we have diversity it doesn't mean that our main sectors of the economy have been invaded by foreigners and that we are merely spectators.The last thing you would want is trusting "A Nigerian"

Yes, you have answered the 'democracy' part. But I wanted to know how ready your military is to tackle al-shabaab. Also, does it not scare you that China is being way way close to Kenyan government? Because what do you know? Chinese or any white people won't help a country out for no reason. They give you bronze in exchange of Diamond. What if your government is secretly giving China what they need? Why do you think Kenya today became the focus of China more than any other African country?

Even the African union; which was fully funded by China had secret hidden. They have been recording (hacking) all what was going on in there.

I wanted you to guess on that, am not asking proof or anything. . . . . . thanks

I think the past leadership of Ethiopia shall teach us many things (before PM Abiy).

They used to tell us how Ethiopia is growing, how Ethiopia is moving and how our economy is getting high. We trusted them and we were happy because that is all we see on the outside. We didn't dig the inside. If they didn't do well on the out side (economy), they knew they wouldn't survive to get the power for long. But they made bad things on us. They have been changing our mind and created fear and haterd between us (the nations).

Economy is not permanent, rather temporary. The big wealth of a country is its nations. Unless Africa has people who are educated and conscious, we can't say any good about us. Economy is fooling us.

South Africa, with the second biggest economy is also told as one of the most developed country in Africa. But xenophobic attack still happen there. If economy has the power to change everything, why and how did that happen?

I don't know which African country qualifies to have enough nations with conscious mind.

Personally, I don't think no one has to debate on economy. Kenya could be the number one in East Africa (in economy), and Ethiopia could be the last. We could have the worst economy in the world, I don't mind because unless our nations aren't strong enough. . . .the economy could crack any time.

MtuMsuper:
Kenya is NOT a democracy. We are a pretend country. And like all things founded on lies and nothingness, we shall have a short shelf life.

How long has Uhuru Kenyatta been on power?

TayserMahri:
Is Ethiopia not wise and old?

You are right, I don't know how I read it the first time. . .

Jonraid:
Choose what to believe and stop hearing what people are saying.Better still,find it for yourself!

I wanted you to convince me, how could I know other than asking Kenyan. I also just said 'people said', not 'i beleive'. But I gotta tell ya, that I also heard it from my dad's friend who was there few months ago. He also mentioned to me that he was extremely amazed on how Kenya has worked on tourism and that Ethiopia is way behind on that sector (compared to Kenya).

Secondly, what about the other questions? Why am I not seeing any Kenyan answering my questions?

It's shameful that many of us fight here or have a debate on who's country is more successful. Many of us here measured our achievement by the capability of having the Chinese build our places.This is sad, when is ever Africa going to grow to say that we did it all

TayserMahri:
which part, the first or the second?

BOTH.

TayserMahri:
what?

I don't feel well with your expression.

Beautiful question for Kenyans,

Why do I hear many people say the richest ones in your country are Indians and Chinese? Why do I hear many people say your culture is falling on Chinese people for example, Chinesse language is taken in your university?

How democratic is Kenya? There's been problems last year in election and stuff. . .why that happened?

How strong is your military? how ready is it to tackle al-shabaab in your own country?

and Hi,

TayserMahri:
we usually consider Ethiopians as a wise old man that we truly respect. I think in return they consider us as insanely gifted prodigies who came from nowhere and now run things everywhere.

. . . . ?

gallivant:
Ethiopia still has one TV and radio station. We take Somalis more seriously before we consider Ethiopians as an economic threat.

Are you sure? Cuz that isn't true. We have few not ONE.

Ethiopia is a very important country in the world. Many Africans don't realize how Ethiopia is important because they only see a poor underdeveloped country. Because we weren't colonized, it don't mean Europeans didn't try to weaken us.

Ethiopia is a country with many secrets, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church has a lot of it. As an Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo religion beleiver, so many things surprise me how we are.

musicwriter:
Occupied is the same as colonized. You have to occupy to colonize.

Occupancy is the first step to colonize but you may not be able to make it. Your statement is answering

musicwriter:
Ethiopia was eventually colonized by Italy. Then, Britain managed to infiltrate them.

Occupied not colonised FULL STOP

martyns303:
They have the oldest civilization in Africa, maybe after Egypt. The only black nation that wasn't colonized.

Ethiopians had ruled Egypt, their names are written in the pyramid.

Role of a president isn't much here in Ethiopia. But I have no doubt she is going to succeed. Ethiopian women success starts even way before our Empress Taitu; who have played a major role on Ethio-Italy war. Which is one of the reason why Ethiopia isn't colonized.


Wishing her luck!

kikuyu1:
How is that positive,if I may ask? How will a woman prez improve their position in any way?

I am not mad because she is a women. I am being very suspicious of what is going on in Ethiopia. I heard our new president's speech and she is great. But in Ethiopia, a president don't handle many things. I have a doubt that some of the ministers (women) don't fit at their new position because they aren't fit for that. Not because they are women. I am mad because we didn't have a mayor named Dagmawit. Every one wanted her so bad to become Addis Ababa mayor. They changed her and made her a Minster of something.


I still didn't understand Abiy. How many women ministers you have in Kenya? @kazikazi, in Tanzania too?

mtisTheQubit:
@Ednited ..congratulations guys you got ya first female president
.Way to go guys..She also cute
Its like stuff is beginning to work in your work

Tbh, I am not happy. I wanna know what our PM is upto

TayserMahiri:
Get on with the program simply means conform or comply (with the way the thread is). Its an IDIOM

I need some Birrs for that Ednited.

I get what you were saying, was just makin fun of you

Dear Kenyan nairalanders, stop acting like this. Let us stop treating each other as enemies. I know you are going to tell me that you aren't taking things seriously but you actually are. I had to quote you guys to stop arguing because I know you more on naialand and I know you aren't the type of people who are annoying. It really shocked me how you treated Kazikazi. You thought I was siding with Tanzania because I quoted you more than him to stop arguing. You didn't know that I did it because i felt easier talking to you. I am not making this up. When I was doing that, you started taking me as your enemy. I am not siding with either of you. Take my statement as you want to but this is what it is. I have used inappropriate words here because I was disappointed enji I never saw any Kenyan as an enemy and Kenya is still one of my favorite countries in Africa, so is Tanzania. There is nothing you can do to to change that.


Peace and love y'all

TayserMahiri:
Fisi wewe! She likes pochi nene

mini piwi Kochi rishi tishi! hehehehehe

TayserMahiri:
Just get on with the program lady. You are not Africa's Magic wand and certainly this is not the AU headquarters. No one is here to fulfill your desires and wishes and no one is forcing you to stick around.

Get on with the program!

So tell me what your program is about

Monday - post Kenya's airport
Tuesday - post Nairobi
Wednesday - Quoting ednited
Thursday - posting emojis
. . . .

Your program is a master piece. Send it to Africa union, it will help a lot


kikikikikikiki, oh Tayser, you've just changed so much lol
