Oga keep kwayet. You men whank to pictures of Tiwa Savage & Yemi Alade everyday. Liar.

That's the most ridiculous statement you can say in Kenya.
This country has gems like Vera Sidika, Corazon Kwamboka, Sheila Mwanyigha, Grace Msalame, Victoria Rubadiri et al, why would any normal functioning Kenyan self-service on Tiwa and Alade? No offense, their music is good but wanking on their pictures? That's hilarious. Look at Victoria Kimani's ass and tell me why I would look at Alade or Tiwa's ass after looking at that.

genieluv:
Well, your opinions are highly false. I have posted my picture here before and I didn't have the features you posted. The first black African to win a miss world didn't have the features you posted. Who then does?

Once again, I'm telling you using the fact that a Nigerian woman won Miss World to claim Nigerian women are desired is just stupid. They don't even focus on beauty in that thing - see, a transgender woman is on course to win Miss Universe, does that make transgenders the most desired women on earth? Ethiopia has never won Miss world, can you honestly look me in the face and say Nigeria has more beautiful women than Ethiopia?

Those are not my opinions, those are the opinions of the average Kenyan man towards Nigeria women. Trust me, I'm not saying this for the sake of arguing.

***** I can remember we had a picture posting contest about ladies and body shapes between Kenya and Nigeria in the past and we even won.

I don't know which picture posting contest you're talking about and u don't know how you decide you won either but based on how you guys argue here I have an idea. forgiveness for example comes here with this skyscraper battle every other time and all the time we post him more skyscrapers from Nairobi than Lagos but everytime he claims victory.

Don't forget that Nigerian ladies come in different looks.
Yoruba women do not look like Hausa-fulani women on average while Igbo women do not look like Ijaw women on average.
The most famous Kenyan woman (Lupita) doesn't have a mesmerizing body figure. So I wonder how you guys arrive at your lame and baseless statistics.

Kenyan women don't come in the same shape either, that's common sense. But on average, Nigerian women have wide shoulders and wide faces.

Lupita has an awesome figure. Google her and Yemi Alade and compare, the only thing she lacks is boobies. Lupita isn't even desired for her shape here in Kenya, she's just average in that department. Google people like Sarah Hassan, Corazon Kwamboka, Huddah Monroe, Grace Msalame et al and see.

••••• Besides let us assume you are right. Why do Nigerian women still don't intermarry other West African men in spite of the fact that we and them look the same? Or can we go by your point and say other west African men also find Nigerian women to have wide faces unlike their women? When we all look the same?

Well, I can only speak for East Africans and specifically Kenyans. Maybe you can tell me why other West Africans don't want you. All I know, in Kenya,
1. When a man desires a woman who's more beautiful than the average Kenyan, he looks to Ethiopia and Eritrea.

2. When he wants a woman that's similar to a Kenyan in looks department but more submissive and less materialistic, he looks to Uganda and Tanzania.

3. When he's the lazy type who wants a woman to finance his lifestyle, he looks for an older white woman.

Generally, East African men have nothing to desire about a Nigerian woman

You can see that your point truly holds no water.

Nigerian women are not interested in other African men not just because of looks, but because of styles and attitudes. We tend to just see our men as the best when it comes to stylishness.

I can't speak for you but most East African men don't desire West African women either.......and considering it's the man that makes the move, I think this is more about lacking opportunity on the side of the Nigerian woman. I may be wrong though.

Below is a picture of Lupita Nyong'o who apparently according to you has no hourglass figure. Compare her to Alade or Tiwa Savage.

genieluv:
Kingozi wouldn't have enjoyed lingua franca status without Arab mobilization, it would have remained as one of the native languages of the coast spoken by only a handful of people.

***** Yes you are correct that Swahili is still a Bantu language, just that it would never never have become widespread as it is without the Arab involvement.

>>>> If there is any language that should be praised in Africa for being a naturally spread lingua franca, it should Hausa.
No foreigners were involved in the spread of Hausa in any way, yet it has about 100 million non native speakers.

You can't really tell what would have happened if a historical occurrence changed completely. Languages grow due to trade and Swahili grew due to exactly that. However, one thing I'm sure of, all East African countries have a habit of making an African language the lingua franca. If Swahili didn't grow, we'd definitely be having another African language as the lingua franca.

PS....... Hausa has a lot of Arab and other languages involvement too. No language is an island. You're just trying hard to discredit Swahili as an African language.

genieluv:
Ok, interesting.
**** So, apart from Swahili & English, which language is most likely to be heard on the streets of Nairobi?

Which ethnicity dominates local politics in Nairobi county?

You seem to have omitted my question on Kisumu.

It depends on the neighborhood though Kikuyu is more spoken than other tribal languages considering Kikuyus make up 30% of Nairobi. Upper class neighborhoods are generally mixed and you'll rarely hear mother tongue being spoken randomly but lower class people have a habit of living in enclaves hence different neighborhoods you'll hear different languages.

Sometimes it's easier to give them their victories however false and child-like!

True, her and No-ones-anus argue so strongly over things they have no idea about.

genieluv:
Hahahaha,

(In Travis Scott's voice) Stop tryna be God..... That's not who you are ....

You don't have to be God to point out the obvious. If somebody told you Burundi is on course to be the biggest economy on Africa what would you tell them? Does that make you God? Some things are obvious knowledge.

genieluv:
Do you have to visit the US, India or China for you to have an idea of how these people speak? Smh.

You either visit or get facts from people who actually live there. You're doing non of that. English is an official language and is not spoken much in the ordinary Kenyans every day life. Unless you work in an office, you're in school or interact with foreigners often, you could go for a month without encountering a Kenyan speaking English other than on TV. I just tell you this for free because you seem to be the kind of person with so much stereotypical and ignorant knowledge within your head that you subscribe to as gospel truth.

genieluv:
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.

We don't get fascinated with Nigerian women either so it's kinda mutual - or maybe you just don't get seduced by other African men because they don't find you attractive reason why there aren't many of you marrying them.

Honestly, if you ask a Kenyan man's opinion of Nigerian women, he'll tell you they look like men. Unlike most East African women who have the hourglass figure and narrow faces, most Nigerian women have wide shoulders narrow hips and wide faces which we find so masculine.

>>>> 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).

If you're so hardworking then why are you poor? Nigeria has the largest number of poor people in the world and a higher percentage of people living below the poverty line than Kenya. You can't boast of being hardworking and have nothing to show for it.

About spoiling women, maybe that's why you're poor. There's a thin line between treating your woman right a just being a fool. Like I told your brother Naijalander, you'll find 5 Nigerians here in Nairobi sharing a bedsitter (a bedsitter is a self contained one-room house - I don't know how you call it in Nigeria) yet the same fools will walk into a club and spend all their money on strange women they don't even know. You wonder, why can't these people use the few coins on affording a better life for themselves - like move in a better bigger house? There's nothing romantic about that, it's just foolishness that will eventually see you die a poor man. No Kenyan or South African man can entertain such nonsense.

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.

Materialism is killing your society. Nothing to be proud of. I am afraid though it's finding it's way into Kenyan women but based on what you guys say about Nigerian women and the attitude I observe amongst Nigerians here, yours is worse.

genieluv:
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.

Whatever girl. This is getting tiring. What matters is you claimed there are no slums in Abuja and I proved you wrong. All this hullabaloo about names is just you trying to find a way out.

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

Swahili would have still existed as Kingozi without Arab influence. See.....

Swahili is an African language that borrowed words from Arabic.

Pidgin is English language that borrows from African languages.

There's a difference.

For the record, African bantus like Zulus for instance who've spoken Swahili would understand a sizeable percentage of Swahili. Meanwhile an Arab who doesn't speak Swahili would find it as foreign as you.

genieluv:
This is nice. Clearly, swahili is not a threat to Kenyan native languages unlike Tanzania.
**** What ethnic group are the natives of Nairobi/environs?

I heard Kisumu is a Luo city. So, what language is most likely to be spoken on the streets of Kisumu? Luo, Swahili or English?

Nairobi is cosmopolitan. However Maasais live to its South, Kambas to the East and Kikuyus to the North West.

genieluv:
Who ever thought the Roman empire will collapse?
Tell the Romans this same thing millenia ago that their descendants will end up speaking and taking pride in vulgar latin, they will say you are mad What is happening today?

~~~~ American English which was a corruption of British English is now taking over the world and heavily displacing the original British English.

Life has proven itself heavily unpredictable throughout history.

**** At the height of the British empire centuries ago, tell them that their children would one day take pride in the identity of American lifestyle, they would have said God forbid, cos then even American born Europeans were regarded as untrained, ill-mannered and far away from home cultured savage individuals.

America could collapse,
Britain could collapse (practically it collapsed because it was the superpower half a century ago)

One thing I'm 100% sure of though, Nigeria will not take over after USA and Britain's influence wanes to obscurity. Not in the next 1000 years.

genieluv:
Many Kenyans communicate with each other in English.

~~~~ I also noticed Kenyans hardly make a complete sentence in swahili without a huge chunk of it being in English.
Only Tanzanians I observe who can speak swahili for hours and days without a single word of English.

So, how many times have you been in Kenya again? Seriously, you need to stop making ignorant statements about things you don't understand. Once again Naijalander, come help your sister.

genieluv:
A slum is a slum, even when it has no name?
***** Why do slums in every part of the world have names, but those of Nigeria do not have accurate names that describe the entirety of those so called slums?

~~~ Why is Makoko so so so different from all the other areas you guys classify as slums in Nigeria? Sometimes our brains should do more work than our mouths.

So let's get this straight.
There's a slum in Abuja,
According to my Google maps, the slum is called Mpape,
But you don't want me to call it Mpape,
You don't give me the alternative name either,
Now because you don't have the alternative name, you argue the slum doesn't exist.

Naijalander, are these the Nigerian women you say are smarter than Kenyan women?

darfay:
Your Swahili lacks depth. I prefer that of Tz

Who made you an expert in Swahili to decide which Swahili has or lacks depth?

gallivant:
Who the f@#? is interested? You are lost, go hang around other Tanzanians.

He's always struggling to be relevant around Kenyans.

darfay:
Read what I wrote and read the trash you responded with

You're stupid.

FrudstaPresidnt:
You seem confused young man! How can I help you?

Hang yourself. That's the only way you can help me.

Excaperx:
wow so a foreigner made Nigeria is hq , smh.

Those dudes are German Nigerians

I thought in Nigeria businesses are owned by black people.

Excaperx:
wow so people are really this stupid


Okay how do you communicate with your China lords?

Same way you communicate with your Lebanese lords.

FrudstaPresidnt:
Doing perfectly well and subsequently granted your Indian lords the permission to hijack your economy because of your laziness. Kenyans are fools!
You should be ashamed of bequeathing your economy to foreigners while you play a second fiddle to them which has inevitably given rise to a sweeping hunger and starvation in that insignificant country.

I thought you said when Nigeria coughs we get a cold?

Excaperx:
same with Nigerians, Nigerians don't have just one ethic language we have over 250 languages the best way to connect is for English and pidgin because they won't understand us.

Get it?

You communicate in English with your fellow Nigerians? Why can't you find an African language now that you love calling other Africans slaves?

darfay:
Yoruba and igbo have more speakers than people in Kenya

If kanuri,tiv,ibibio,ijaw,urhobo,bini were in Kenya they would be the largest ethnicity there


So what's your point

90% of them are ethnic Yorubas and Igbos.

genieluv:
It has no name that's why I call it the SLUMMISH PARTS OF MPAPE

There's nothing like slummish parts. A slum is a slum. You see how Nigerians try hard to hide their reality? No wonder most of them believe Nigeria is the richest country in Africa while standard of living indices rank them with the lowest countries such as Mali, Burundi, Niger, Chad, Burkina Faso et al.

mtisTheQubit:
@NairobiWalker dont go for it..darfay is looking forward for the HD debate..

.So predictable.

Excaperx:
I bet you are communicating with me with a Kenya language? Dumbass

I communicate with you in English because you don't understand Swahili. However I communicate with my fellow Kenyans in Kiswahili.

Excaperx:
well he's a Nigerian and it's headquarter is Ikeja

I hate stupid people. Jumia is not owned by Nigerians. Do your research.

genieluv:
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

....and for some weird reason you think English will be taken over by Nigerian pidgin?

Look, the Roman empire collapsed and the Spanish Empire grew as well as French and Portuguese hence there was a chance in balance of influence. With the way Nigeria is run what's the probability that Nigeria will grow into a power stronger than UK and USA in the next 1000 years? You guys love daydreaming.

genieluv:
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

I speak my mother tongue well
I learned my mother tongue in school because in primary I schooled with my tribes locality.
If 2 Kikuyus meet they'll speak both Kikuyu and Kiswahili interchangeably most likely or either.
The average urban kid anywhere speaks mostly Swahili with their parents though many parents will take their kids to the village to learn their mother tongue.

Jonraid:
Jumia the loss making firm?

Which Nigerian bank made a profit in Kenya or it's among the biggest banks in Kenya?

Actually, Jumia is German, not Nigerian. Don't give them undeserved credit.

mtisTheQubit:
talk of hypocrisy..the dudes got issues with white people but keep on denying it

They keep on accusing other Africans of being slaves to the white man yet they're the biggest slaves. There lingua Franca is a white man's language. Hypocrites.

genieluv:
Same way you claimed Woodley and the other estate was part of Kibera, only for me to burst you, then you say Kibera constituency.

Which bubble did you burst? stop feeling too important, I said Woodley is part of Kibera constituency and I still maintain it. So what bubble have you burst?

**** Google maps recognize Kibera for what it is and doesn't add the name of any other places to it.

Woodkey is part of Kibera
Olympic is part of Kibera
Ngumo is part of Kibera
Ayany is part of Kibera

All those places range from fairly nice lower middle class to expensive Upper Middle class. Do you now know Nairobi more than me? For the record I used to live in Woodley. My cousin stays in Ngumo.
