UN Habitat is in Nairobi because Nairobi alone have over 200 slums. They are even helping to provide the electricity these idiots are bragging about.

Don't mind them.cheap people.

Almost everything in Kenya is either being done by Humanitarian agencies, African development bank, Chinese, Indians e.t.c.
Nigeria is all about native black Africans empowering and developing themselves.

Kibera Facts & Information

There are approximatly 2.5 million slum dwellers in about 200 settlements in Nairobi representing 60% of the Nairobi population and occupying just 6% of the land. Kibera houses about 250,000 of these people. Kibera is the biggest slum in Africa and one of the biggest in the world.

Land Ownership
The Government owns all the land. 10% of people are shack owners and many of these people own many other shacks and let them out to tenants. The remaining 90% of residents are tenants with no rights.

Housing
The average size of shack in this area is 12ft x 12ft built with mud walls, a corrugated tin roof with a dirt or concrete floor. The cost is about KES 700 per Month (£6). These shacks often house up to 8 or more with many sleeping on the floor.

The population
The original settlers were the Nubian people from the Kenyan/Sudanese border – they now occupy about 15% of Kibera, are mostly Muslim and are also mostly shack owners. The other shack owners are mostly Kikuyu (the majority tribe in Nairobi) – although in most cases they do not live there but are absentee landlords. The majority of the tenants are Luo, Luhya and some Kamba – these people are from the west of Kenya. There are many tensions in Kibera, particularly tribal tensions between the Luo & Kikuyu, but also between landlord and tenant and those with and without jobs.

Electricity
Only about 20% of Kibera has electricity. UN-Habitat is in the process of providing it to some parts of Kibera – this will include street lighting, security lighting and connection to shacks (this costs KES 900 per shack, which in most cases is not affordable).

Water
Until recently Kibera had no water and it had to be collected from the Nairobi dam. The dam water is not clean and causes typhoid and cholera. Now there are two mains water pipes into Kibera, one from the municipal council and one from the World Bank. Residents collect water at KES 3 per 20 litres.

Sewage
In most of Kibera there are no toilet facilities. One latrine (hole in the ground) is shared by up to 50 shacks. Once full, young boys are employed to empty the latrine and they take the contents to the river. UN-Habitat and a few other agencies are trying to help and improve this situation but it is painfully slow.

Medical facilities and HIV/AIDS Clinics
In Kibera there are no government clinics or hospitals. The providers are the charitable organisations: AMREF, MSF, churches plus some others. They do a great job. All people are encouraged to have a free HIV test and if positive to take free generic ARV medicine.

Changaa
This is cheap alcoholic brew. It is widely available, very strong (over 50% alcohol) and made incorrectly, so is usually very high in Methanol. The cost is only KES 10 per glass and after a couple of glasses people become very drunk. With over 50% unemployment in Kibera many start drinking early in the morning leading to problems of violence, crime, rapes etc. Several charities are trying to help by showing the Changaa makers how to make the drink less dangerous.

Drugs
Cheap drugs and glue sniffing are an increasing problem. Initially taken to alleviate boredom but then people find themselves hooked. A big challenge to the charities!

Abortion
Due to many men still not using condoms and the availability of Changaa, many girls become pregnant, at any one time about 50% of 16 to 25 yr old girls are pregnant. Most of these pregnancies are unwanted, resulting in many cases of abortion. This can be very dangerous, particularly in such a poor area as Kibera. Many charities are working on this problem.

Unemployment
Kibera is near the industrial area of Nairobi where up to 50% of the available workforce are employed (usually in fairly unskilled jobs). However, there is still an unemployment rate of 50%. This is why the training and teaching of skills is very important.

Sport
Most young people in Kibera have nothing to do, obviously it is better for them to have the opportunity to take part in sport and several organisations are working on this.

Nairobi Slum Survey
The African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) produced a report which provides many different statistics relating to the slums of Nairobi, including facts about Kibera. You can download the 212 page here:
* ‘Report of the Nairobi Cross-sectional Slums Survey‘

SUMMARY FINDINGS
Kibera needs land/tenancy rights, housing, water, electricity, health clinics, education, employment, security plus much more. All these issues are being addressed to a lesser or greater extent by many organizations including the Churches, UN-Habitat, MSF and AMREF etc. Money is finding its way through from many international organizations including Gates Foundation, Bill Clinton Foundation, all the well known charities and of course the churches both in Africa and internationally. However, money cannot help without people to direct it – all the organizations require assistance. They all need intelligent, keen, willing, and compassionate people to help.

In the western world it has become common for many students to take a Gap Year out before or after university. More mature people are also now taking a year out, away from their everyday life. Many could work in Kibera where they would achieve a real sense of doing some good. Kibera is crying out for people to help.

Good night.

Kenyans really need to be ashamed of themselves, u can imagine people like this living in their capital cities.
Kibera is so big and world renowned that foreign aids are coming from left right and centre because people all over the world cannot imagine how so much people can be living in such abhorable and despicable conditions.

Abuja (our capital city, well planned from the scratch) does not have a single slum, yet Abuja urban area is over 3 million people and Abuja metro over 4 million people.
More than half of Nairobi is a slum. So sad.

PissedYagami:
And IanSweets I suspect you are either bleaching your skin or something like that. You are one self hating real african woman. All I see is light women, see, the problem of coming from a unexposed region of nigeria. Why can I not see that shade of African in your beautiful pictures

A large population of Nigerians are actually naturally chocolate to light skinned. Only people living in poverty who can't afford to stay away from so much sun or afford to maintain themselves may not be able to retain their original skin tones.
Irrespective of our skin tones, dark, chocolate or light, we are still negroids, being light skinned never makes u a caucasian, we are much prouder Africans than u guys who always wear western clothes even to cultural and social gatherings, our cultures also represent us irrespective of our skin colour.

Culture defines who you are.

PissedYagami:
unrefined features, ho ho ho ho
You do know every country has its share of good looking and not so good looking people. On the other hand someone told me that people with self hate like calling others ugly. And give me your facebook or twitter or ig account, lemme see how refined you look ma cherrie

I don't think i'd appreciate a savage blood drinking Kenyan staring over me all day. , i'll pass.
Am not bluffing about the beauty of Nigerians, it's clear for all to see.

This is our first lady, her first daughter and her family, one way to know how beautiful a people are, u check the people representing them.
Can't u see how good looking they are?

When i discovered that Kenyans mostly wear Western clothes to their social gatherings, i was ashamed.
Is that the level of desperation to become White in Kenya? So sad.

This is the way Nigerians always appear at social gatherings, continously establishing the fact that we are superior Africans. LoL

PissedYagami:
Damn but Nigerians thought Kenya is a forest

Majority of Kenyans live in forests, bushes and villages and it's a fact u can't change.

PissedYagami:
We got stable electricity, is that white owned We have a higher life expectancy, guess who owns it. You Nigerians are the most backwards people I have ever encountered. Some of you that is
Better roads, i guess no black person drives on them.
I do not know if it is lack of interaction with the outside world or what, or it is the 59% literacy level in Nigeria or lack of stable electricity which leads to inadequate TV and Internet exposure but meen, never seen people sooooo dumb, scouth and very backwards for 21st century

Nigeria is more literate than Kenya if u guys don't count literacy in Swahili.
The mistake our govt makes is that they dont count literacy in Hausa and Arabic which most northern Nigerians possess.

darknetcom:
trouble maker... ...

Seriously, Kenyans are too ugly and unrefined for my liking. U guys really have a lot of evolving to do.
Nigeria is miled ahead a yu guys.

Seriously, why are Kenyans so ugly with an unrefined culture?
They should look at their neighbours (the Ethiopians), the only people who can challenge Nigeria when it comes to beauty and culture.
Just take a look at Ethiopian beauty n culture, just like Nigeria's u cant help but fall in Love.
Kudos to Ethiopia (the blessed East Africans).

darknetcom:
please dont do that..

our women need a break...after chibok...

Well, Chibok people represent only 0.05% of the Nigerian population.
We have more than enough to go round for y'all.

Nigerians are superior Africans when it comes to display of refined and improved cultural beauty, only Ethiopia & Ghana may challenge us. Kenya is just nowhere.

Kenyan culture can never be as beautiful as half of Nigeria's.
See the original beauty in raw unrefined Nigerian culture.

Can u show me raw Kenyan rural beauties in culture like this?

PissedYagami:
You are related to Bantu Kenyans who form the larger Niger-Congo family. And very distanly related to the Nilotes and the Cushites. And further related to the Indians and the Kenyan cowboys

In Nigeria we have Nilo saharan language speakers. So don't think all Nigerians are from thr Niger-congo family.

Only ethnic groups from Southern and Central Nigeria are of Niger-congo origin. Most from the north are of the Chadic subfamily of the larger Afro-asiatic family where Cushitics and Semitics belong. We also have Nilo-saharan speakers in thr north-eastern parts.

I wonder why people erroneously label all Nigerians as Niger-congo tribes.

Ednite:
You are very very very right!
your question is a good one. If you read one of my quotes, I said that everyone must be given an equal credit, Amhara ppl ruled this country from very long ago. I think that is the reason why lots of Amhara belongs are taken as the major one in the country including Amharic. As u av said, there's too much separation which is invisible,

even when ppl say Ethiopians, the look you draw inside is only the face of promo, tigre or amhara ppl but where there are lots of Ethiopians who look totally different.

but even if you ask other Ethiopian why, he won't answer why this is happening.
Amharic better be the official language because it is the only African language with its own script of writing, which makes it a heritage also.

in population,
its Oromo, Amhara then tigray, which can also be a reason. Tho all have issues.

And please feel free, am Amhara of Addis Ababa, you can say anything you don't like from Amhara people. I am never strict on my tribe, I only highlight the word I AM AN ETHIOPIAN,

Ok u see, this is why the division of your country seems to have been working.
I really think i understand why Ethiopia is the way it is. You guys were never colonised by Europeans, unlike the rest of us who were colonized and forced to integrate and live together by our colonial masters regardless of our tribes, religion and cultures.

Like i asked earlier, are all Oromos and Tigray mandated to speak Amharic as the national language of government?

PissedYagami:
Well you sound bitter, but the Maasai people are the only ones who practice that. There are other pastrol communities like Borana Oromos, rendille and Samburu. And mind you Kenya has more literacy levels than Nigeria, so who is backwards here? The same Kenyans live almost 10 years more than in Nigeria.

U only have a higher literacy rate because u probably count ability to read and write in Swahili as literacy.
In Nigeria, there are tens of millions of people in the northern part who can read and write in hausa and arabic, but not in English and they are counted as illiterates.
If not, Nigeria would most likely have the highest literacy rates in Africa.

darknetcom:
kenyans are not africans..

all real africans know blood is a tabu...

kenyans are more related to the mongols of asia..

they like blood too..

and kenyans look very different than original black-people...

I think u may be correct

darknetcom:
now we are cannibals..

you eastern freaks....

Seriously, i am now beginning to see we Nigerians and East Africans as a very different people. Infact we may share skin colour and a so called continent but i don't think we have similar origins or are closely related. So much differences.

PissedYagami:
They pierce a small hole, mix the blood with milk and drink it.Its kinda cute

U guys are the most disgusting peeps av ever seen in my life.
I will be very careful with Kenyans hence forth. Jeeez!

No wonder Kenyan men are so ugly with big foreheads. I bet your women will never approve of this.

NairobiWalker:
Drinking blood doesn't mean they're not modern for heaven's sake - the Chinese eat frogs and almost every animal out there but they are way more modernized than you. Blood is eaten all over the world in Europe, Asia, Americas and Africa. You sound so uninformed and uneducated ranting over this blood thing over and over. Do you eat sausages? Well, blood is a major ingredient in sausage - you probably don't know that. Please read a book if you can't afford to travel.

Yes, different things are eaten all over the world but in a civilized manner. Well prepared, well garnished and beautifully served, not in a savage manner!

PissedYagami:
They are worth more the way they are tbh

You sound scary i must say.
U sound like someone that can exploit his own fellow man's ignorance for cash. Someone who can traffick vulnerable people and take advantage of others. It's just sad. No wonder Europeans refer to Africa as the dark continent.

NairobiWalker:
How is drinking animal blood barbarism? Nigerians eat dogs, cats, rats, human flesh and snakes and you call drinking cow blood barbarism? Some of you Nigerians keep proving me wrong on the level of intelligence I rate you.

Just take a good look at these pics and if u are a normal human beign, tell me how this fits into this modern age of human and technoligical advancement.
Just see how that savage with blood in his mouth looks like a cannibal. So uncivilized.
Yes, various nigerian tribes eat various animals, but in a civilized manner, they are killed and well cooked and prepared, we don't pierce a live animal, drainning it's blood while it's still alive and drinking it's raw blood while it is still alive. That's savagery taken to another level.

Muafrika2:
In a minute, I think there was one on fp today

There was a story of a restaurant regularly serving human flesh pepper soup some time ago.

This is extremely false and a wrong info. Such people if caught would either be sentenced to death or life imprisonment. We can never promote such.

what they say about us, these two countries, see?

Hmm, it's so sad.
It seems Egypt is serioisly trying to divide Horn Africans, i really can't say why but i think perhaps they dont want a powerful and competitive country around them.

This is somehow similar to the issue we are having in Nigeria where the Igbo people are complaining of marginalization and hatred from other Nigerians and threatening seccession.

PissedYagami:
Eventually they will change. But the Maa people love keeping their customs sooo much, and you cannot force them to change. The Maa people are the Maasai and the lesser known Samburu.

Yes, we know that, but they can actually be forced by the govt to embrace modern life, but in a subtle way, while trying to help them preserve some aspects of their cultures.

Ednite:
Okay, here it goes
Eritreans are now members of the Arab league. Even thou the number of Christians living there are big in number, their Muslim population is known to have increased much. Check out ERI TV which is their national TV, they use tigre and Arabic language as the major one. I recommend you to search for their Facebook page, 'eritrean press'. Haven't seen their post recently but it was all about Ethiopia's problems and their golden relation with Arab countries. So, what you think now?

But, some eritreans living in Ethiopia are really cool. Cuz av met them and I never noticed they were eritreans. they were good guys.

and 'habesha' term is given to semetic language speakers which include Eritreans, Amhara, tigre and gurage people of ET.

It was confusing if tigray people of ET and ER love each other but now, I think so. Believe it or not, I had a tigray friend being in the side of our eritrean friend telling me to get lost cuz am Amhara.
don't get yourself wrong here tho, tigray ppl will bring eritreans back if they want them, they won't separate from ET. I am very sure about that

Any question left? Am ready for another one if there's any

Ok great.

I also wanted to know, do Oromo and Tigray people resent Amharas so much?

Since Amharic is the official language of Ethiopia, are all other tribes in the country mandated to speak Amharic?

Is Amharic the language of the judiciary and legislative in Ethiopia?

Also, why has the Ethiopian govt not integrated the uncivilized nilotic tribes? Sorry to say but i studied Ethiopian demographics and i found out that your country seems so divided.
The Amharas living like first class citizens, the Oromos and Tigrays like second class, the Southern peoples region like third class, while the uncivilized nilotic speakers are like classless.

Am sorry if i seem too indiscreet or rough with my words. I really want to understand Ethiopian issues, if u have any abt Nigeria or her neighbouring countries too, feel free to ask me absolutely anything.

No be small tin o, e be like say ol dis kenya pipu dem dey kolo o. Crase pipu dem.

Muafrika2:
Blood(animals) is very sweet btw, esp used in the African sausage found some places in Kenya

OMG! I think if i ever visit Kenya i will stick to foreign biscuits and soft drinks till i leave, or i will just cook whatever i'll eat myself. I'm already irritated.

Muafrika2:
Do I need to pull threads on Nigerians eating people all over this place

I don't know abt such people, but i assure u that if such people are caught they face the wrath of the law!

PissedYagami:
It is their culture which is good. I cannot deny the Masai. Masai attract a lot of tourists

This is one of the dumbest words i'v heard in my life! So you allow these people to keep on living in the stone age while u guys enjoy the comfort of modern life, just because u earn good cash from foreigners watching them?

Nigeria has never had tourism at heart at the federal level, but just one state in Nigeria (Cross River state) decided to invest in tourism and the state now hosts Africa's biggest street carnival where cultures are displayed to the fullest which attracts millions of viewers.
Allowing barbarism and savagery in the 21st century is not the best way to promote tourism.
Civilisation does not take away your cultural elements away from u unless u allow it.

Nigerian Calabar carnival below.

PissedYagami:
Those are the Masai people, that is their way of life. They are nomadic people. They mix blood avec milk then drink it

You mean ppl like this still exist in Africa? We in West Africa dont have such savage and uncivilized homo sapiens. Can't u guys do sth about that?

The last nomadic people we have in Nigeria (the fulani mbororo), infact most of them are not Nigerians but from Niger, Mali e.t.c. However, our govt is working seriously on nomadic education to integrate them into the society as full time educated ranch farmers, but it seems like in Kenya it is the other way round and just like Ethiopia and their savage omotic speakers, u guys are using the Masai people for tourism purposes.

How do u guys think the white people and the outside world will keep on seeing Africa when people still drink Animal blood? Jesus!

Ednite:
The problem of Eritreans is undefined,

but don't compare our fight with kenya Nigeria fight,
ours is way different.

they took the port
separate the countries
migrate back here
still not satisfied staying in our country but insult us


what do you call this?
By the way, Egypt is a major reason for our separation. They told eritreans that they are Arabs then Eritreans joined Arab league. Eritreans become tail of Arab countries. They got funded with money from Arabs to have the power to separate from us. they become independent from Ethiopia but dependent on Arabs. What a shame. . .
If you were an Ethiopian, would you say nothing about this?

ANY KENYAN OR NIGERIAN CAN JUDGE US

I have no word for Egypt, but I will tell them their dream of making river Nile their own is over!!

when it comes to Oromo independence movement, it was shocking. I am scared of thinking what people are thinking now. Ethiopia lost Djibouti and Eritrea; nothing gained but lost. I bet Oromo ppl learn from that. I care for my country especially because I know our history was made together, not one tribe alone. it's sad when we were supposed to take it to the next level, but turn our faces to another side and say that 'all that history made is over because the new history being made in recent is from a new state. No more Ethiopian.'
my heart is really broken, I swear. I believe civil wars we had and everything in the past is enough to suffer with, why we have to add more? I love Oromo ppl, they are my ppl too, but if they walk with such a blindness, not seeing the priceless value of unity, even if they had a chance for independence, they themselves will separate into 5 again.

Great response.
But do u mean Eritereans actually believe that they are Arabs? They don't see themselves as black people?

Pls correct me if am wrong, i know Tigrinyas to be the largest group in Eriterea and most of them are christians, how could they fall for such? I think there must have been other issues. Dnt mind my curiousity, am a student of history so i really wish to learn.

I also know that some Tigrinya people are still part of Ethiopia, do the Tigrinyas in Ethiopia also fight with the ones in Eriterea? Or they also wish to leave Ethiopia and join their brothers in Eriterea?

Do the Tigrinya people consider themselves Habeshas too just like u Amharas?
