Even Lamu is ancient but not shitty, Mombasa is probably older that Kano but not shitty. Being old is no excuse for being shitty.

ianSweet:
Lamu and Mombasa were founded by Arabs and not black Africans unlike Kano.

NairobiWalker:
Do you even know where Kikuyu is?

There are no arabs in Lamu. Those people you call Arabs are actually the famous Swahili people of the the Swahili language your sister claims we stole from Tanzania. Stop spreading lies.

PissedYagami:
True I know they will try, Kenya actually tries to meet its deadlines, even if they do not build 250k units, they will at least reduce the slum population mahn. The good thing is that they do not lie or hide about them. After Kenyattas death, some president called Moi took power. He was in power for 24 years. He did nothing, all he did was loot and loot and loot. But since Kibaki, we have improved. Now there is uhuru kenyatta trying. ActuallyI told you about vision 2030, and everything here is on steroids. And we got no minerals to depend on, recently we discovered oil. Hope we dont depend on it a lot

obaaderemi:
Ur comrade,nairobitrekker,make it look as if kenya has no problems at all and that is the issue the nigerian guys find unacceptable.nigerians will readily condemn and even vote out nonperforming govt and refuse to hide their mess but kenyans seem to embrace and polish their mess.no wonder arap moi ruled 4 so long and the indians control ur economy

NairobiWalker:
As if you people are showing the terrible side of Nigeria. Where is Boko Haram pictures? where are the Lagos slum pictures? you're here cherry picking photos of the best parts of your country yet feel bad we do the same? The whole city of Kano is a slum yet you only post a small part of the highway traversing it. Ibadan is a dumb hole yet you post only the 15℅ that looks decent. Stop being deluded.

NairobiWalker:
Here goes the ignorant girl again. Please read a book.

ahahahahh more like their no blacks in lamu..what!

ianSweet:
God bless u for this fact.
You will never see black people being accepted in India as equal citizens no matter what, let alone black people benefitting so much from the Indian govt. Whites are even better.
However it saddens me to see African countries being dominated by whites or Indians, so sickening. That's why i love Nigeria. Whatever we achieve is 100% due to the sweat and the labour of the black man. No foreigner can claim bullshit.

ianSweet:
I know all that i need to know about coastal east Africa and their arabic, persian and Indian settlements.

Were Mombasa and Lamu founded purely by Black Africans? Yes or No?
Kano, Ibadan and Benin city in nigeria were ancient cities founded purely by Nigerian black african tribes.

68816419:
hahahah funny guy , visit those places and confirm them yourself stop getting your pictures from "Google search" , Nairobi alone have 94 slums, meaning over 92% of it population leaves in slums
imagine nairobi alone having that high numbers of slums, it means Nakuru,Eldy,Mombasa.Kissi,and the whole of northern part of Kenya(about largest part of the nation) are made up of made up of slums

If Kano is a slum(which is not), then Nairobi(excluding CBD and Indians areas, whites), eldoret, Nakuru(excluding the CBD and Indians areas as ), Kissi, Kikuyu and all northern and coastal part of Kenya (excluding some parts in Mombasa) are huge slums then
Imagine having all these slums alone in Nairobi?

PissedYagami:
But on the positive side hope some guys from Kenyan and Nigerian govts see these threads. I would like to see our president see pictures of slums here. That would be a wake up call and he should deal with it.

NairobiWalker:
Says someone who claims there are no slums in Lagos.

Why don't you condemn your government for not providing you with a good supply of electricity first?

68816419:
you mean this

[b]Nairobi

"Slums are usually dense settlements. About 60 to 80 percent of Kenya’s urban
population lives in slums. In Nairobi, informal settlements cover just 6% of the total
residential land area, yet house 60% of the city’s population (IRIN, 2013)."[/b]

Nairobi is home to one of the largest slums in the world. The slum, Kibera, houses approximately 250,000 of the 2.5 million slum dwellers in the city. Most people in Kibera live on less than $1 per day and HIV is rampant. There is a shortage of clean water and education and rape and assault cases are common. The slum is so large that it has many villages.

Nakuru
Nakuru is the fourth largest town in Kenya with an estimated population of 300,000. The size of population is growing quickly as more families migrate to Nakuru from neighbouring villages,It is relatively easy to travel to Nakuru from the capital city of Nairobi, as it is only 160 km away. Nakuru town has many commercial areas, shops, restaurants and offices. However, over 150,000 of Nakuru’s population live in low income settlments.Many of these are informal settlements, or what we would call slums(imagine a pouluation of arround 300k+ and over half of the population leaves in poverty and slums?).


Turkana

Turkana is the largest and also the north-western most county in Kenya. It is bordered by the countries of Uganda to the west; South Sudan and Ethiopia, including the disputed Ilemi Triangle, to the north and northeast; and Lake Turkana to the east. 100% the people leaves in abject poverty
Other major cities include Mombasa (pop: 1.2 million), Kisumu (400,000), and Nakuru (300,000).
Kisii[b]

will back to expose all the rest of these counties (over 90% counties are slums )

talk as if there is a single kilowatt of power in you Kibera.

PissedYagami:
Actually some shacks are connected

Housing
The average size of shack in this area is 12ft x 12ft built with mud walls, a corrugated tin roof with a dirt or concrete floor. The cost is about KES 700 per Month (£6). These shacks often house up to 8 or more with many sleeping on the floor.

The population
The original settlers were the Nubian people from the Kenyan/Sudanese border – they now occupy about 15% of Kibera, are mostly Muslim and are also mostly shack owners. The other shack owners are mostly Kikuyu (the majority tribe in Nairobi) – although in most cases they do not live there but are absentee landlords. The majority of the tenants are Luo, Luhya and some Kamba – these people are from the west of Kenya. There are many tensions in Kibera, particularly tribal tensions between the Luo & Kikuyu, but also between landlord and tenant and those with and without jobs.

Electricity
Only about 20% of Kibera has electricity . UN-Habitat is in the process of providing it to some parts of Kibera – this will include street lighting, security lighting and connection to shacks (this costs KES 900 per shack, which in most cases is not affordable).

solbil:
AJ have electricity everywhere

NairobiWalker:
Says someone who claims there are no slums in Lagos.

Why don't you condemn your government for not providing you with a good supply of electricity first?

NairobiWalker:
The whole of Kibera has 24/7 supply of electricity. Ask Naijalander

MtuMsuper:
Hehehe you spoke like a prophet there. Two nights ago i was with a senior govt official and he noticed me browsing the topic very animatedly. I insisted he reads it and is reading it whenever free 5 mins pops up in his very busy schedule. i even encouraged him to join nairaland. You never know ooo

obaaderemi:
Its one of the reasons we voted out the last govt and right now nigerians are calling for fashola,the power minister's resignation.they holding him accountable for saying providing stable power is not rocket science and yet he is struggling.ANd show me where i said lagos has no slum.

obaaderemi:
Ur compatriot,pissedyagami just posted an article showing only 20% of kibera is connected.keep deceiving urself.

obaaderemi:
Our mutual friend,nairobitrekker,is going to be pissed off by this.i believe he is also animatedly glued to nairaland somewhere in eastafrica now but to encourage a kenyan politician to use nairaland? the very idea!no pun intended

NairobiWalker:
You keep saying Kenya is no match for Nigeria because Kenya is full of slums.
I simply showcase areas where Kenya beats Nigeria by far but you always come with excuses such as "oyinbo did it for you, HDI is not important, we have a larger production capacity etc". Sometimes it's wise to accept your shortcomings.
Show me where I said Kenya has no problems at all.
