You probably live in those unaffordable estates - you know Gigiri,Runda or Karen isn't that right ,oga?

Have lived in Karen but now live in Kilimani which is nearer to Kileleshwa where l now have my daily engagements ......the rent is not cheap but the environment worth it. I have not just restricted myself to upscale neighbourhoods as l have worked in low end neighbourhoods of Kangemi, Kariobangi North, Dandora, Gorokocho, Eastliegh etc

Sad!

Hate or like him, Dangote is the game changerl!

Is it not a standard practice to have a female nurse present while attending to the patient?

The economic related deficiencies being experienced in a community are caused by the leaders of the community, who happens to be our brothers and sisters. I remember when l worked in Nike area of Enugu State during Chimaroke Nnamani's tenure, the local government chairman lived in Lagos and only spent one week in a month in the Local government he is the Chairman of, to supervise the disbursement of the monthly allocation and heads back to his base.

The local government workers chose when to come to work or not and still at the end of the month collect their full salaries. How can one expect developmental strides in such setting?

No one is stopping anyone from investing their resources where they come from. I do not need permission from Abuja to set up a Strawberry farm in Mbano, Imo State or build a biogas centre that will provide gas for women frying garri in Achalla, Anambra State.

I am igbo and l feel my freedom.

Sean tizzle is "eyeing" otedola's money!

It is individuals that triggers this model. I know for certain that there are many who have the funds but looking for credible platforms to invest into.

Nice one.

"In a bench ruling, Magistrate Komolafe granted the defendant N5 million bail with two sureties in the like sum, who must be gainfully employed and one of whom must be a blood relation"............

chocolateme:

chocolateme:
wow!! Thanks but all these long write up for my one little question. Kinda reminds me of..

Just putting things into perspective!

Banks are sweatshops!

chocolateme:
Kenya What is he doing in that weird country?

What is weird about Kenya? Moreover he is just one of the tens of African Head of State and one of thousands of foreigners visiting Nairobi for the 6th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD-VI) hosted by the Japanese government. Every African country that wants aid and investments from Japan are already on ground in Nairobi to meet with the Japanese Prime Minister and thousands of Japanese businessmen.

They are least bothered about the environment impact and l am convinced they have settled some people at the Local government office!

No shuttle bus there?

How much is your 100g fenugreek powder selling for?

Free education today is equal to low quality education.

akingbatope:

REUBEN010:

@Pavore9

I went through your blog, very informative about life in Kenya. I enjoy the topics you cover, keep up the good work. Cheers.

I really need to update that blog as the exchange rate has changed as One Kenyan shillings which used to convert to N2.00 now converts to N4.00! and for Nigerians to be allowed entry on arrival at the Nairobi Airport don become wahala by the day as their immigration love the deportation language.

Crying over nothing!

Just as suggested earlier, do weeding around there,

Love your choice of crops.....well done.

That many are just 12 % of the population, in a more vibrant economy it won't scale. Hence, the need for modification.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-36260348

In the Kenyan context, that is many as it reflects one in every eight Kenyan residents having a bank account putting into consideration that mobile money operations is heading to its tenth year in Kenya. Going by records Kenyans transacted Sh3billion ($30m) through mobile money every day during the second quarter of the 2015-16 financial year.

Read more at: http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/business/article/2000197514/mobile-money-transactions-in-kenya-hit-sh3-billion-a-day

Banks and other credit service providers have keyed into disbursing loans through the mobile money providers based on one's credit ratings with the mobile money providers.

There is no incentive to open a bank account here as an individual. l have one for the sole purpose of presenting a bank statement at the embassy whenever l apply for visas of a third country.

The psychology of the people also play a part.

Na wa o!

Truth234:
That is really good, Paga has made adjustment to its model to suit Nigerian market. In Kenya, few people have bank account, while in Nigeria more people do and can access it via smart-phones. Exactly, what Paga and P-Mesa are offering. This is the reason why P-Mesa failed in South Africa.

But Paga has been able to capitalized on Nigerian market and hopefully they will get local banks to embrace their over 10,000 network.

Many Kenyans also do have bank accounts but mobile money ease things up. For example my Airtelmoney is linked to my bank account and if l should receive any payment through it be it local or internationally, l will just forward the money to my bank account or any other person's bank account. You just need a simple phone to transact as Nokia 3310 can do these transactions, cutting of the need for Smart-phones.

Truth234:
That is good, how is their service?

Very good as many Kenyans even receive their International transfers such as World remit, Western Union, Moneygram, SKrill etc directly into their phone numbers which also service mobile money accounts and go withdraw the money sent from the many Mpesa and Airtel money agents around, cutting out banks from the transactions but if your line is linked to a Visa card you can withdraw the money from any ATM in the world that has a Visa logo, also using to make online payment where Visa is accepted.

For Airtel money, they presently run a cashback promo as when you use your airtelmoney to make payments on Fridays you will be refunded 5% of what was spent that day. For example, if l make payments totalling 50,000 Kenyan shillings ($500) today being Friday, by next Friday Airtelmoney will return 2,500 Kenyan shillings to my account!

Nice one. I do use both Mpesa and Airtel Money in Kenya, with the airtelmoney account is basically my airtel line which is linked to an Airtel Visa card.

Proudlyngwa:
