musiwa1l: I weep with Kenya people in their sorrow

For a nation like kenya, which have prove my point that nigeria is not a sovereign state. To be hit by this event, it is hard to imagine. Know that I know many people from kenya, some friend. Friends I know many years living abroad who are from kenya.

Let me say a little about Kenya, when people say nigeria is a sovereign state. They did not know the truth because we never had internet to tell us the truth about our history as africa.

Lyttelton constitution of 1954 in which the independent act was base on was written not only for nigeria but also for kenya.

This is why you have to believe that nigeria is not a sovereign state, but a name mere to describe several protectorate in the british empire...

If you google. you will find kenya Lyttelton constitution 1954

So all my aboki friend who have been told lies for many years.. please google.


Now to the people of Kenya. I love you with all my heart and soul. And we weep together in this period. As an honourable member of the Mau mau . I weep with your nation this day.


Weep not, child,
Weep not, my darling,
With these kisses let me remove your tears;
The ravening clouds shall not long be victorious,
They shall not long possess the sky--shall devour the stars only in apparition:
Jupiter shall emerge--be patient--watch again another night--the Pleiades shall emerge,
They are immortal--all those stars, both silvery and golden, shall shine out again,
The great stars and the little ones shall shine out again--they endure;
The vast immortal suns, and the long-enduring pensive moons, shall again shine

eightsin: I've got to buy myself a gun.

rastamouse: I am disappointed in the Kenyan security forces. They rushed into the building without proper planning and that has resulted in the standoff which had led to the deaths of several people. Looking at the pictures that came out earlier, I will not be surprised if some of the terrorists including the 'White Widow' have already escaped with the civilians.

In situations like these, you do not just rush in when you do not have a plan. How the gunmen managed to keep the Kenyan soldiers at a distance for more than 48 hours in a shopping mall still amazes me. I do not believe that the gunmen have any hostages, they were too trigger happy and probably killed everyone that they encountered.

The only reason why I think this has delayed is because the security forces are not having any body armour which will eventually make them cautious. With body armour, I think this situation would have been over a long time.

halfcurrent: One area that seems to impress me about the Kenyan forces is their response time to the attack. They really responded on time.

onila: A man identified only as Stephen, centre, whose father was killed in the Westgate mall attack, weeps outside a Nairobi morgue on Monday. While the gun battle continued at the mall, Kenya mourned as the identities of those killed were released

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR AIDS ALLEGATIONS

ADMIT IT KENYA HAS AIDS, AND SOMALIA HAS ONE OF THE LOWEST IN THE WORLDS

africa-down:
Pendo, you said somalis have aids, why have you gone away. lol

funnyx:

Rebuild your country after milking off another country you considered as enemy? Insha Allah you will die from a Kenyan army bullet.

africa-down:


if thats the case why do somalis, arabs, and indians own most of kenyas economy and buisness. why do indians treat you guys like poo, why do most somalis have kenyan house keepers lol

africa-down:



pendo, i knew this day would come. where is the kenyan military

this is what happenes when you invade somalia. kenya needs to mind its own buisness and leave somalis alone. i have said this many times. but kenyans who never fought a war think they can mess with somalis who have been fighting for over 1,000 years against ethiopia alone.

somali society is a warlike society, only warirors and religious men exists in somali society.

kenya leave somalia now.

Kamenmen:
Tourists.

Never too late pendo89

Give thanks for the assistance, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Have you been opportuned to visit them?

oolumide: @ claremont you must be having good time. Well I got into Nairobi early in the morning with my family. we went thru the visa process and got it. outside at the airport i changed us dollars into currency at the airport at 85KS to 1dollar, first rip off in kenya,cos it is actually 87 in bureau de changed. But i also have heard that kenyans try to rip off foreigners, but i dont mind since it is my first day of going into a city I know nobody with my entire family at nite, 1.30am, it is really a high risk now that i think about it. But been a sales man I always think i will always survive. But my wife must really believe in me to take the risk with me.
Well that nite i left my family inside the airport to go negotiate with a taxi company to take me to a self cathering apartment that i had discussion with but we couldnt conclude cos I couldnt make payment with pay pal from Nigeria.
Luckily I saw a couple who spoke yoruba also coming out of the airport, spoke with them and they told me they are missionaries but we take me to where we could lodge and pay 7000ks(80dollars) as against 9,500 i already negotiated with the other apartment while in Nigeria.
Alas when we got to the apartment on Ole Dume road, they said thay are fully booked for the next 1week, gosh, moreover they insisted we could only get apartment from them at 12,000KS which is way above my target.
But i must mention that unlike Nigeria immigration at which every officers beg you for money, i didnt experience such in both Addis ababa and Nairobi. They just did their work.

Now, where do I sleep with all the stories about robbery in Nairobi, but the taxi man said he cant leave us because i have my young family with me, then he suggested a hotel in river road area and my nigerian helper said no way that the area is crime prone, that now he is suspecting the driver, at that point I was in between, the Kenyan driver said no he doesnt trust Nigerians, my Nigerians friend who is a pastor said for the guy to have suggested that area then he suspects him. But i knew both sides were trying to help me.

By now it was 3.30am, then i took a quick decision, said to the driver take me to the nearest hotel for me to sleep, i will take a decision on where to stay tommorow, because it is peak period of summer, most apartments in Kenyan where fully booked and occupied.
Well alas all of a sudden after driving for about 15minutes the driver parked in front of a dingy looking place and said this is a hotel he feels we will not pay too much and be comfortable.
Now my wife who has been quiet all this while screamed and said i must not get out of the car and if this is the last place left she will rather go back to he airport, by now my Nigerian friend has gone after i told him to go with is family that I cant continue to put him through stress.

I guess at this point the driver was now tired, and i said to him, even if the nearest hotel is a five star i dont mind, just take there. Behold five minutes later he parked in from of Meridian hotel in Nairobi city centre. Woh, woh.

I got in spoke with the receptionist, 2minutes later struck a deal, and I got for my family a one bedroom apartment with a sitting room and extra bed to go with for the nite. Was i happy, yeah you can say that again. Cos initially i had a plan to sleep in a luxury hotel with my family on the last day of our visit but at least it is coming up first. though the meridien hotel is very old one, it cannot be compared to its nigeria counterpart in terms of being modern,it is not as modern as nigeria, but was it a luxury hotel yes it is. Even my wify that is very finicky and choosy when it comes to hotel had very lovely time staying for the nite.
1st nite in Nairobi, the story continues shortly, But i am loving my stay here. SURE YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN. The story continues.

claremont: Jambo guys, habari?!

I just returned from a month working in Kenya and I must confess I have fallen in love with the country and its people. I spent most of my time in Nanyuki, Isiolo and Mutiati interacting with the locals, I wish I could have spent a longer time there. Kenyan ladies treated me and my colleagues like demi-gods, we had a good time with them.

Asante!
