NairobiWalker: Same way your lingua franca is heavily influenced by Arabic. ***** Swahili would never have existed without Arab contact. |

NairobiWalker: Bla bla bla These places are part of Kibera constituency, but they are not part of Kibera slum community, or has every single community become a constituency in Kenya? **** Even google maps clearly differentiate these places for what they are. You can only tell me that Silanga is part of Kibera, hence it's written in small letters, unlike the others that are so unique from Kibera.

darfay: Hahaha, NairobiWalker, you can see that it's your Kenyan women who are more fascinated by Nigerian men. ***** To be honest, Nigerian women are not really fascinated by other African men. If a Nigerian lady does not marry a Nigerian, we go for whites. Hardly will you see a Nigerian lady with a Cameroonian, Kenyan or South African man. Even Ghanaian is difficult. >>>> Nigerian women have noticed that no other African men work so hard and spend so much money on them like Nigerian men. Other African men also seem very local before our eyes. To be sincere, we tend to be materialistic. (mind you, I do not really approve of this mentality. I personally find other African men attractive because I'm more open-minded, but as for marriage, hmm I doubt I could marry another African . No African identity is worth trading for my Nigerian identity). Just for the records, the culture of materialism started from southern Nigeria. Hausa fulani educated women are also very materialistic. ***** We central Nigerian women are the least materialistic of all. Materialism was zero in our cultures. This even makes Southern guys judge our wome as being very cheap ~~However, this is now gradually being destroyed as our own women intermix with southern & hausa fulani women. 3 Likes 1 Share |

NairobiWalker: We have native languages and some of our native languages are the most spoken in Africa ! **** Hausa already has more speakers than Swahili, it is only yet to gain official status in papers because of tribalism in Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and Niger republic. Besides, we grew our own language from English, just as French and Spanish grew theirs from Latin. |

NairobiWalker: Same way the Romans looked down on Spanish, French and Portuguese, calling them vulgar latin. ***** Today where is official Latin? Non existent! The pidgin varieties have taken over. Native French and Iberian peoples abandoned their original native languages for vulgar latin.... Today, these languages have become world languages. >>>>> Be careful what you wish for cos your children might end up speaking and taking pride in Naija brokin 1 Like 1 Share |

NairobiWalker: Okay. Interesting. **** Do you speak your native language very well? *Do you guys learn your native languages in schools? *If 2 kikuyus meet, are they most likely to speak in kikuyu, swahili or English? *What language does the average urban Kenyan child speak with their parents at home? Pardon my too many questions |

NairobiWalker:Same way you claimed Woodley and the other estate was part of Kibera, only for me to burst you, then you say Kibera constituency. **** Google maps recognize Kibera for what it is and doesn't add the name of any other places to it. .....and for heaven's sake, stop using the word slummish parts to refer to Nigerian slums. Those are slums, nothing like slummish parts. [\quote] People do not live in iron sheet houses in Nigeria. Don't try to compare the situation of Kenya and Nigeria. **** Don't just show the pictures of abandoned iron sheet structures in a dumpsite. Show an aerial view of dozens of houses (a complete neighborhood) with zinc houses.
Open defecation is practiced all over 3rd world nations, including nations far better than Kenya, so it's nothing new. 1 Like 1 Share |

NairobiWalker: Just to let you know that Google has now recognized Nigerian pidgin. BBC now broadcasts in Pidgin English with a pidgin english radio station. ***** Even Wikipedia differentiates NIGERIAN ENGLISH https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_English from NIGERIAN PIDGIN https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Pidgin So, there is Nigerian english just like Kenyan English and there is Nigerian pidgin (Brokin) which is now recognized as a creole! This is simple knowledge of linguistics!

NairobiWalker: Can you even hear yourself? There is a slum called Kibera and not all of it is a slum? Gosh! Is English the problem here? Why call it a slum in the first place when not all of it is a slum? *** It's just like saying Kenya is a desert when only parts of Kenya are arid. ••••• Use your English well. If you are talking about Kibera constituency, talk about it. If you are talking of Kibera community (slum), talk about it. Don't use both interchangeably. 1 Like 1 Share |

NairobiWalker: I went through the wikipedia definition of Kenyan english and it is very very shallow. All you do is replace some english words with the native names of things in kenya. **** Even Americans, Australians, Indians and pretty much everyone else have their own English with unique words... However, as long as you can speak english you can pretty much understand what is being said. I can write a long sentence in Nigerian pidgin and no non speaker can make any sense out of it. *** You on the other hand cannot make a long sentence in your Kenyan english which I cannot make sense of. That tells you that Kenyan English is still English language just as American english is still English language. Naija brokin on the other hand is now becoming a different language. >>>> If you doubt. Give it a try. Make a long sentence in Kenyan english which no Nigerian can understand. I dare you! |

NairobiWalker: You're now telling me about better parts of Kibera whereas we clearly differentiated Kibera community and Kibera constituency for what they were. ~~~~ I just did a google map street view of Kawangware and Kangemi. True, they are not as bad as Kibera. However, have it in mind that no Kenyan slums can match Nigerian slum parts because I discovered that most housing structures in Kenyan slums are built with Iron sheets and polythene bags while those of Nigeria are mostly well built concrete houses with a solidly dug foundation. The differences are huge. |

NairobiWalker: Now clear. Why then are some of you saying no one owns swahili when it's quite clear that some tribes actually own it? **** Was Swahili very popular in hinterland Kenya before colonial times? |

forgiveness: Wow, didn't see this comment. **** So true. During the days of Old Benue-Plateau, Jos developed so well and the governor then James Gomwalk had so much in mind and achieved much. Benue people felt so far from the capital and seat of government, hence the need to agitate for our own state. •••• I believe we would definitely had achieved more if we were still together. |
