arinzeejikonye, you are such a badass just see the way you embarrassed Nairobiwalker, mtis n other kenyans with hard facts above n dumbfounded them for good. Lol

***now i know that most Kenyans r dumb, they can't even google about what they want to brag against to check the situation in Nigeria before bragging.

>>> I bet you, many years from now if Kenya probably start manufacturing cars, you will see some Kenyans coming to try n brag how they r now manufacturing cars n how apart from them n South africa no other country in Africa does. How pathetic.

We have Mobius cars here

Kenya has culture just like Nigeria, so I am not here to argue that. I have heard if the Samburu before especially a few years back for the creation of all female village called Umoja. The truth is, there are a lot ethnic groups in Nigeria and Western Africa alike who predominantly practice their native religions. For example, there is a cultural region in parts of NE Nigeria and Northern Cameroon known as Kirdi with dozens of ethnic groups who adhere to their native ethnic religions. In fact, the word Kirdi means Pagan in Fulani because when the Muslim Toroobe Fulani settled in the region and attempted to convert the locals, they were very resistant to their Jihad.

Also, there are many ethnic groups in Nigeria like Hausa or Igbo who are predominantly Christian or Muslim, However there are also many who are mixed in terms of religion like Yoruba, Igala, Etsako, Gbagyi, etc. Even among the Hausa and Igbos, you can till find notable indigenous element like Maguzawa or Odinani respectively.

Similarly in Kenya, you have ethnic groups that are predominantly Muslim like Somali or Swahili and ethnic groups that are majority Christian like the Kikuyu. You can also find those who are mixed like Oromo and those that are majority traditional adherents like the Samburu.

You know so much about other African countries mate, I salute thee

TayserMahiri:


Whats their literacy level? It cant be above 70

Around 59%. But I am sure the northerners, genieluv and co pull that figure down.

Shaytun:


In all areas except tourism.

Name specifics please

genieluv:


They may not wear those clothes for everyday affairs buh they promote their cultural festivals, celebrations n heavily depict their culture it in their media.
Kenyans keep lagging in every aspect relating to culture. Or can you show me?

In Kenya boys get circumcised, and dowry is also a must, that is very cultural. Culture is not all about clothes

genieluv:

N what is the percentage of the masai to Kenya's entire population?
South Africa experienced the highest white settlement n opression in Black Africa yet their cultures r still stronger than yours. So, really, you Kenyans have no excuse.
****Learn to admit your weaknesses, it helps make you a better person (winks)

What percentage of South Africans wear Zulu clothes?
And not wearing traditional clothes is not a weakness, as long as someone is not naked we are okay here. Hell, even in China and korea they dont wear their ancient clothes

Shaytun:


LOL

Any Neutral person going through this thread will know kenya was not only defeated but humiliated by Nigeria.

We all know who the winner is, No need to start another meaningless debate.

You think you have won because you are Nigerian, so in what areas have you guys won?

Mind posting the better roads you guys have? arinzeejikonye

Will just post some random roads, arinzeejikonye

genieluv:


South Africans, Zimbabweans e.t.c still do traditional weddings n all manners of traditional festivals.
Their tradition also never leaves their music, can't you see that they have produced some of the greatest african singers that represent african culture? The likes of Miriam Makeba, Black Mambazo, Chaka chaka, Brenda fassie e.t.c

****please, no basis of comparison between them n you guys.

Maasai wear traditional African cultural clothes 24/7, not just for weddings. Is that not culture?

arinzeejikonye:


We too got sgr,
What are the ground breaking feats of your health care system,
A report showed sales generator set is becoming a booming gold mine in Kenya,
Your roads are nice, but not better than Nigeria, we posted ours too,
We too have free education programme over here,

So you no better

How many Kilometres of rail?
We even seperate conjoined twins here mate. And even HIV Vaccine bruh, we are working on it https://www.standardmedia.co.ke › Editorial
Yeah but we still have 24/7 power here man, and it is uninterrupted for weeks. Hot showers, are a thing here
We have better roads, 10 laned road that goes on for kilometres, and not just one road, we have many that fall under that, multi lane . Smoother roads and stuff
And our literacy level is very high btw

arinzeejikonye:


So you think you have better rail system, because of fancy looking terminals,?


You think you have better health care system than Nigeria, what are your parameters,?

In education, what makes you think you are better than Nigeria,?

Do you produce more electricity than Nigeria? ,

Do you have better roads in the whole of Kenya than Nigeria?

Not more electricity than you guys but electricity is 24/7 here. No generator fumes mate
Yeah sexy roads, we posted them here a while ago

genieluv:


Northern Nigeria is a very big place. It should be about twice the size of Kenya. Boko haram has been largely contained to just one northern state and there are 19 northern states.
****So, it's very safe, depending on what part of the north you are living in. The north-central n north-west r safe. The north-east is the troubled zone.

northern Nigeria is a shithole, Southern Nigeria rocks

For the record we have a car company here too

Shaytun:
Innoson.

Wow, this is amazing, I remember this from some early posts here. Maybe one day we will import your cars. Make RHD ones

arinzeejikonye:


According to you alone, this thread showed otherwise, only in tourism you beat Nigeria with an edge, every other thing, you are no better than Nigeria

Really now mate? Really?
Electricity? Road system? Planning? Rail system, that is just the city
Who has better paying civil servants? Who has better health care? Our education system vs your education system
etc
We have been here since this thread was like 50 pages old and what you said is not true mate.

(CNN)-The mighty peaks of Kilimanjaro and Kenya are the highest points in Africa, towering over the East Coast nations.
The mountains will soon be sharing a skyline with a man-made behemoth named simply: "The Pinnacle."
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta recently laid the foundation stone for what will be the tallest building in Africa in the Upper Hill neighborhood of Nairobi. Construction is underway at the development site, and slated for completion by December 2019.
The ambitious project will see twin glass-facade towers rise above the city, the larger standing at 300 meters tall, far surpassing the continent's current leader -- Johannesburg's 223-meter Carlton Centre.
As The Pinnacle, Africa's tallest skyscraper rises to meet its December 2019 completion date, international investors are slowly moving their headquarters to Nairobi. "We're seeing global corporations that traditionally run Sub-Saharan Africa from Johannesburg putting regional headquarters into Nairobi...and that's a story I expect to hear more and more," he says. "An ambitious project like Pinnacle is ideal for maintaining that interest, and by the time the project comes to fruition Nairobi could be a very different place."
Hilton executives are also bullish, noting in a statement that the Upper Hill area is now home to offices of major international businesses and organizations including Cisco Systems and the World Bank.
Kenya's economy has performed steadily in recent years, with healthy GDP growth of 5.9% in 2016 according to the World Bank. A thriving property market has underpinned this growth, particularly in Nairobi. But there are indications of a slowdown that could affect a luxury development such as Pinnacle.

Yaah am ignorant cos your excuse looks so cheap n has been busted.
****See, i do not care about you guys (Kenyans), you guys should just learn to stay away from the lovely conversations on African culture between lovers of African culture on this thread n stay away from giving flimsy excuses about how the whites who intended to settle in your country made you loose your culture whereas there are other Africans with more whites in their country who are still proud n celebrate their african cultures to the fullest.
You can be more Europeanized than the Europeans n that's your business @PissedYagami

>>>>At least i have the beautiful n lovely Ethiopians to keep me in good company on this thread.
Good riddance to bad rubbish!

What countries? Namibia? SA?
And last time I checked, you guys challenged us.

Lol, Nairaland is hosted on a server that is in Kenya. You guys are lucky we have fast internet here else Nairaland will not function

Jay254:


Sorry to say but you sound so ignorant...

What do you expect from a person whose main contribution to this thread is Nigerian clothes? Thats why QueenofNepal called her out too

freshest4live:

While it is true that the official language is English because there are hundreds of indigenous languages, the South west has Yoruba as the major language spoken, the South East has Igbo, the North and middle belt has Hausa. Overtime we have also fused words from Hausa, Yoruba and lgbo into our pidgin English which is widely spoken in the country.

You should just use one African language, say Igbo,

jln115:

Just to add on my previous comments, I don't mean to bash Kenya, I was simply responding to others.......I in fact love Kenya, I think besides for Namibia, only Kenya shares so much in common with SA culturally, our Sport, history, racial demographics.

Besides how kan you not love the Kenyan 7s rugby team.

The British tried to make Kenya like SA, but they met full resistance. Mau Mau and stuff. They even gave collaborators in the Anglo-Boer war land in Kenya. Thats why you will find places called Trans Vaal, Trans Mara etc here in Kenya. But the rebellion was badass here.
Our rugby and cricket are shittier than yours though better than all other countries in Africa I guess

genieluv:


Lol @ PissedYagami, buh didn't the whites also wanted to stay in Uganda, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia et al? Buh the people of these countries apparently aren't as westernized as you Kenyans.

But then again our main language is African, not English, like you guys who are so cultured. Checkmate

mtis:

An that explains alot...i think the whites intended to stay around

And that is why some never left. And that is also why Kenya has a lot of immigrants from Europe flooding in. British ex soldiers never go back, there are hordes of British expats( fancy word for white immigrants, blacks, Arabs, Indians etc are immigrants, whites are expats) Italians are flooding the coast of Kenya and you have some people like Gilad who will never go back to his country.

Settler rule
Settler rule refers to the type of colonialism in southern Africa in which European settlers imposed direct rule on their colonies. Settler colonies differed from other colonies in Africa in that a significant number of immigrants from Europe settled in these colonies. These immigrants or settlers were not like missionaries or European colonial officials. Just like early European immigrants to the United States and Canada, settlers in Africa planned to make the colonies their permanent home. In order to thrive in the colonies, settlers demanded special political and economic rights and protection. Security and prosperity for the settlers depended on economic exploitation and political oppression of the African population that vastly outnumbered the settlers. Settler colonies were found primarily in southern Africa including the colonies of South Africa, Southern and Northern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe and Zambia), Angola, Mozambique, and South West Africa (Namibia). Settlers from Holland, Britain, Germany, and Portugal colonized these areas. In addition, settler rule was practiced in Kenya, a British colony in East Africa, and in Algeria, a French colony in North Africa.

Uganda, Tanzania were not settler colonies. Especially Tanzania. Show me Zimbabwean culture then

genieluv:


They r not just clothes. African clothes r an element of your identity.

You have to understand Kenyan history. Kenya was a Settler colony, meaning a lot of culture was deleted by the Brits. I guess Nigeria was an indirect colony, meaning a lot of culture is still intact. Thats why our culture is not as 'African' as yours. Gerrit?

ednited:
I want to see Kenyan traditional clothes. It can be from Massai ppl

I don't care!

I WANT TO SEE. I HAVE TO

good luck with that

genieluv:


Is she Kenyan? If yes, then it's cool. I hope things like this are promoted by Kenyans themselves.

100% Kenyan. Me still wondering why we should promote clothes. I think as a continent we are past that kind of bull

This autoban bot sucks, cant post links peacefully
