Just40: Those news stations have refused to report anything concerning why people are revolting in these countries
Yah. One thing people don't know is that unlike the UK, France is not a very rich country. Without the exploitation of the resources of their former colonies, they remain at best a middle income nation, so they would fight with all they've got.
rvp2018: Where in Mombasa? We only have US airfield in Lamu Manda Island at the tip with Somalia - and the Airbase is used for joint operation against Islamic terrorism in SOMALIA - never in Kenya.
rvp2018: We are fighting Alshabaab in Somalia together with US, Ethiopia, Uganda and Burundi. That is our contribution to global peace. That is why Kenya is rank top 5 in world for contributing to global good.
They are not coming to assist us fighting internal terror - like US did in Nigeria - and French basically babysit the entire region.
US does not fight Bokoharam for Nigeria, they just assist with weapons and some technological know how sometimes in the use of the weapons (which we buy actually). Besides, while Al Shabbab could stroll into Nairobi anytime attacking mostly Nairobi (and still can, left to Kenyan military alone), Bokoharam and ISWAP for the most part fight within the chad/Nigerian Borders and mostly some villages in Borno state.

Why do you need U.S to fight Al Shabbab, I thought you said Malians are Cowards? Besides you are wrong, France has done nothing in Mali, they've only caused more problems since they arrived. This is why the Malians are going for Russia.
rvp2018 some French guys have been caught in time past selling weapons to terror groups. Ever since they established military bases in West Africa in 2012, terror groups got strengthened and ISWAP grew wings. Frances have their drones and Military base in Chad not far from the Lake Chad Basin where ISWAP operates, yet they do nothing, they've only been interested in maintaining the leaders they want in Chad even resisting democracy for Chad. The Francophone West African people are tired already except their puppet leaders.
rvp2018: Burkina faso that just got a coup - joining now 5 countries in West and Central Africa. Once the Malian kicked out the French soldiers - I knew the West African cowards will not survive.
Watch out for a coup in Ghana and Nigeria -
You know nothing. The French are actually the problem, they need the resources of these countries especially Mali. Nigeria and Ghana has nothing to do with France. If anything, France in West Africa is serious headache to Nigeria and Ghana. There is no relationship between French soldiers leaving and Nigeria/Ghana having supposed problem. Same France sabotaged the Eco currency when they tried to tie CFA to the future Eco.
FalseProphet1: I see portable beating tuface, davido and wizkid's records to become the all time leading celebrity with the highest number of baby mamas.
obaaderemi: Then why do you always rush out when Kenya is mentioned? You personalize Kenya as well. Is it your sister or father? Why not leave it to be derobed without talking?
Kenyans are the most sensitive people I have ever come across on the internet when it comes to their country and Nairobi in particular. Their patriotism is out of this world.
rvp2018: Which part of Nairobi do you want to see? I have seen videos of Abuja - from Airport to city center - it basically maize plantation - and that is what 40kms from Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport to Main city.
We have shown Nairobi so many times - in so many areas.
When you see Skyscrappers - just know that city is expansive - for simple reason it's expensive to build up.
When you see apartments - again know that city is huge.
Nobody likes build skyscrappers.
How big is Nairobi actually? It's just 287mi square . Abuja is more than 2 times the size of that with 687mi square.
rvp2018: You normally attempt to reason - Abuja and Nairobi - in the same sentence? How now? Abuja is not even at Mombasa level. Nairobi -Joburg-Cairo-CapeTown - maybe even Durban. Those are big cities in Africa. You can add Lagos if we ignore infrastructure and consider population - but then you'd have to include the fellow shanty city of Kinshasasa.
If Nairobi is that great, you wouldn't be posting your CBD or one, two areas for 5 years as the greatness of Kenya. The only thing Nairobi has over Abuja is the number of sky scrapers. It doesn't have better roads than Abuja and it definitely has more slums. For electricity, Abuja in many places sees up to 21 hours of electricity on average. So what else? Let's speak with facts here not sentiment.
Bifwoli: One Fed ministry from many different angles and a few Abuja roads coz there's not much to see in this city. Outside of this small area is horrible slums of Mpape ,Nyanya,Kubwa etc where majority lives in squalor.
� you think Abuja is nairobi? Abuja is big and if we start with Abuja contents, I can assure you we wouldn't be posting just CBD or few areas the way your folks here do with Nairobi.
It between a rock and a hard place, I don't think they will support any!
But South Africa should support Nigeria this time right? They seem happy on Twitter about the draws not favouring Ghana. Even Bafana Bafana twitter page posted the draws
Ykc2: he did not lose anything crash of dollars affected him,besides how much do you think government sold one dollar to dangote?
Still he grew substantially under Jonathan. Govt sold to Dangote at around 388 naira (official rate then) and not just Dangote but big businesses involved in manufacturing of goods we can manufacture within Nigeria, not import. Dangote also needed such lower exchange rate for his refinery which is a big project.
Ykc2: oga ,Google, apple are paying European countries with tears on thier eyes ,you can't kill small small company to dominate,a richest person in any western countries can insult the government in power ,let dangote for one day complain about their northern government policy
But Dangote was way wealthier under Jonathan, if anything he lost half of his wealth under Buhari in 2016/2017 compared to 2013/2014. So what are we talking about?
danhans: Don't mind them wasting their precious time that can be converted to money . Government support a lot of people that throw the whole money away
The Government supporting Dangote rhetoric is stale already. When you listen to Dangote in his interviews, he knows all the tiny details of his businesses and he has established in 16 countries across Africa. Is that also from Government support? and Government has supported several big men in this country. Many of them just don't have the knowledge to invest.
