NairobiWalker:
When you read what they classify as a slum in other countries, you might think they're from Switzerland. Imagine some idiot was arguing here that Buruburu is a slum - and he claims to live in Kenya

Ignorance of the highest order from him, but I didn't know he claims to here...

Seems like they don't know what a slum is, I've noticed they don't have any fair decent estates

68816419:
man this place u tagged slums actually have better roads,planning and development than many of your cities.
but Kibera and other slums kenya are pure slums with zinc buildings.

My Google maps can't lie to me...

I've tried to see where an average person lives I can't see any, only rich or slums

68816419:
what do you think when those houses are renovated, that is, their roofs got changed to new modern roofing systems and the houses gt painted? would u still call them slums?

Just like kibera they're overcrowded with no proper roads network, they also waste allot of space with their old bungalow design

the only option is to bring all of them down and start a new planned construction of modern apartments

samsobo24:
If I post Nairobi slum pictures littered all over Nairobi,some of my Nigerians would even rate borno state higher than Nairobi because borno is clean.

Kenyans please beg your government to develop other places in NairobiNairobi apart from the cbd

No difference with your average estates...
Can you post the middle and high end, mostly the middle income residential area cz I know you don't have...

NairobiWalker:
If the word hypocrisy had a face, the face would be you.

Who lives in those Ibadan and Kano slums? Who lives in Makoko? White people? Indians? Yet it's Kenya's slums that you're worried of for harboring only black people.

Lower income estates equvnt of Umoja, Donholm Komarock etc in Nigeria are all slums just like kibera...

. ...but to them Kano, makoko etc are not slums

"Ibadan"

NAIROBI, Kenya

Kazikazi:
We discussed this issue before you joined this forum.The problem we had in Tanzania(same applies to Kenya) is bad governance. Yes we have almost everything,but alas,some bad guys let us down.
The same thing happened to Kenya and the rest of African nations. Just ask yourself why are Kenyans starving in this day n age? Or why tribal killings are still happening in Kenya? Or why is Kenya not developed like Singapore or Mauritius although you have oil,gold,soda ash,geothermal, bigger land,population,kaolin,game parks,lakes etc?
Or why are Kenyans not able to utilize their semi arid land in the north while there are big freshwater lakes in Kenya? What is so hard or difficult to pump some water from lake Victoria to those starving poor people?

In short,most African nations lacks good governance.At independence,we were richer than South Korea,Malaysia,Vietnam, Singapore etc.But now, your Kenya,Tz,Ghana,Nigeria, and the rest of Africa is way poorer than those nations.

99% of what you just wrote are just examples of the ignorant narratives we've been talking about

When did you see Kenyan starving?old stories'. Tribalism only comes up during the electioneering season, u'll never hear anything about negative tribalism any other time,& that affects majority of growing "real democratic" countries, TZ is not a democratic country.

TZ just like Nigeria is a worse off story even by African standards

In spite of being the biggest country in EA in terms of population, natural resources/ land mass, TZ is the most underdeveloped country in the region...all bcz of unempowered citizens and the culture of laziness....

darfay:
First capital of Nigeria

Not impressive

darfay:
This one is giving me projection fa, you pulled that put from your toto right?

Ethiopia has the largest economy in East Africa

Tz is the fastest growing economy in East Africa

Focus on the previous and the current to know it's eligibility, or just check IMF

Lies, Ethiopia is the fastest growing economy in EA,

This yr Kenya will grow more than 6% (outperforming projections)

TZ will grow less than 5.8%

darfay:
Angola is no 3, in sub Saharan Africa and no 5, in Africa. While Ethiopia is the largest economy in East Africa and with Tz growing @ a faster rate they would overtake you b4 you know it

2018 Kenya GDP $88B
". ". Ethiopian GDP 85B
Tanzania $56B

rvp2018:
Kenya real estate sector - for 2016 - lot of activity - Nigeria - only the single tower of Eko City & World trade center of Abuja completed
Kenya
Retail - 100,000 sq m of retail added in 2016 - up from 50,000 in 2015
Office - 300,000 sq m of commercial space - up from the average of 150,000 in previous years

Nigera - absolutely nothing going on except in one tower Eko City -

This reflects our economic growth

rvp2018:
Real estate - Knight & Frank 2017 Africa report

1) RETAIL SECTOR:

South Africa is by far the largest and
most mature retail market in the SubSaharan
region, with approximately 23
million sq m of shopping centre floor
space, compared with only about 3
million sq m in the whole of the rest of
Sub-Saharan Africa. The South African
market continued to grow in 2016,
most notably through the completion
of Atterbury’s 131,000 sq m Mall of
Africa, the largest single-phase mall
development ever in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Outside of South Africa, the Kenyan
capital Nairobi has the greatest volume
of modern retail floor space in SubSaharan
Africa, and it continues to be a
development hotspot . The city saw the
completion of the first phase of Actis’
Garden City Mall (33,500 sq m) in 2015,
followed by the opening of The Hub
(30,000 sq m) in the affluent suburb of
Karen in 2016. The 67,000 sq m Two
Rivers Mall, which is now the largest in
Kenya, opened in February 2017.

This again reflects a country's economic situation, SA with a population of about 56million almost equal to TZ, beats the entire continent...

Then Kenya comes second with almost 30% of the remaining balance

Kazikazi:
They look ugly,satinic look.I can't board such thing..No,no way.

You can say that because you haven't try it yet...

rvp2018:
When did you defeat kenya? You've shown to be at best twice kenya when you've got 4 times the population & twice the land size. Your GDP is officially 4 times Kenya (a fat lie). Again when it come to comparing agricultural production - I want to see you level kenya but at least being 4 times as better.

Let recap - your telcom sector with 140-160M users can only at best generator 8.5B dollars! Ours with at best 45M subscribers generate about 4B dollars. We did the same for banking...our total banking asset is 40B dollars compared to yours about 90B. You get the drift!

When you look at South Africa level - which is where you should be comparing yourself if indeed your GDP was that big - you are faar behind.

Their GDP per capita must be less than $1,000 then...

bantudra:
i dont think i would want to drive in something that looks like that....

we are realy completly different....

thats why we call you people little indians....its india people that love such stuff....

Just say you don't know how it feels to drive such a machine... I'll show you the interiors next time

Jonraid:
It was inspired by the predator creature from the film 'predator'!

Ooh woow no wonder it looks scary, but this is creativity at it's best

bantudra:
even keke nateps....una wahala too much....

Creativity

Jonraid:
But we Kenyans overdo it sometimes.Truth be said!

The predator bus!

This looks like some prehistoric creatures

Jonraid:
But we Kenyans overdo it sometimes.Truth be said!

Hahaa even "keke" and lorries can get swagg...

tlann:
so where will the profits go kwa wananchi ama serekali kwasababu bei ya cashew nuts inapanda

By the time the price is going up the farmers would have already sold them, so the profit goes to the government

bantudra:
that is a old picture...most of those buses are gone...now we prefer keke nateps....

I guess keke is the same as tuktuk, won't those bring more congestions and traffic jams since they're even smaller

These ugly "yellow fever" PSVs need someone to modify them...I business opportunity for Kenyans, cz Kenyans are the best in that worldwide

mtisTheQubit:
i got my opinion but am scared of the lioness chic in case i say S.A is in a turmoil ...but i will reserve them for my well being

Seems like its not only SA that is going south economically, all the bigger economies than Kenya are not doing well, its only Morocco that is doing 3-4% GDP growth the rest are doing less than that...

darfay:
So you expect us to learn about Kenyan ethnic groups in our schools when we have over 250 ethnic groups speaking over a thousand dialects of our own. With states like Taraba,Adamawa,Gombe,Bauchi,plateau having over 40 ethnic groups each.
Gwoza an LGA in Borno has almost every village speaking a different language
Who cares about the masais(kenyans)?

You don't supposed to limit your knowledge to only what your teacher taught you,

Education entails eliminating ignorance also...etc

ednited:
The reason why you said this is because I said I only know the massai people? You haven't quoted Ethiopia but it looks like that.

You need to take it this way too. . .maybe you guys aren't also informing about yourself well. Kenyans in here know about TPLF because we Ethiopians talk about it here. How many times have you guys informed us about your culture. As a kenyan nation, that was also your responsibility if you want people to know about you. Am not saying you havent informed us about your country, yes you did. But you havent done enough on your culture and tradition. Just make sure you did your part

I will be doing that, to someone like you who is interested to explore the world

Not the Nigerians who u'll tell them something, in a matter of a sec they repeat the same old narrative, very ignorant people,

I cld have flogged them numerous times if they were here

68816419:
man ,where are the 30000 former slum dwellers of Kibera evicted as a result of road construction some weeks back now?.
how about providing answers to other slums issues ?

You don't settle anywhere you wish to, u'll build a slum in who's land?, there knowing other places are individually owned...

Kibera began as settlement scheme where the Nubians from Sudanese where awarded the land after their participation in the WW2

the area was under dense vegetation and the soldiers called it Kibra, a jungle or forest in the Nubian language.

The Government owns all the land in kibera. But the houses are owned by individuals who mostly don't live there(reason why they can't build permanent structures)


"Kibera originated as a settlement in the forests at the outskirts of Nairobi, when Nubian soldiers returning from service with the King's African Rifles (KAR) were allocated plots of land there in return for their efforts in 1904. Kibera was situated on the KAR military exercise grounds in close proximity to the KAR headquarters along Thika Road. The British colonial government allowed the settlement to grow informally. The Nubians had no claim on land in "Native Reserves" and over time, other tribes moved into the area to rent land from the Nubian landlords".

ednited:
Who are they? Are you talking about the massai people?

Yes

TayserMahiri:
You will actually quickly notice that. The average Kenyan is way too informed by African standards.

You may wonder what kind of education they get esp Nigerians and TZs

They think all Kenyans look like our athletes and that everyone is a Masai, at first I thought they're just making a mockery of us, kumbe that's what their average brain contains...

They even sound more ridiculous our economy is driven only by foreigners ati India and whites..

ednited:
When it comes to tribe or culture, I knew many things on nairaland. Many of the Kenyans here don't post pictures of their culture but their cities

They're are about 1.1m in Kenya and about 1m in Tanzania,

U'll get more information about them online

bantudra:
you and informed...you freakin think kenyans ruled america for cryin out loud....!!!!

Are you the one who said kilimall is TZ, Buruburu is a slum and that if kibera is demolished the residence will build another slum is Buruburu... That sounded really laughable

ednited:
wow, now I know. I've been asking about tribes in Kenya but no one passed me the info

Jeeez what kind of education do you people get...?, seems like an average Kenyan is one of the most informed person

Yobeezy:
Seriously these people arguing out of their tiny brains fed with rumours.
Moreso some of them who owe funny names.
Another fool was saying that buruburu is a slum,kilimall is headquartered in Tanzania etc.
You can imagine how they know nothing about Kenya.

Hahaa these are really sick...!!

I've noticed their latest way of argument, just madness, hatred, jelousy...
