nice write up and very unbiased, so , who now controls Westland (where most of recent development lies,developments like hotels,estates, towers,supper markets,cinemas ...),parkland,ngara,spring valley, parts of lower kabete, and even some parts of south c, i am asking this cause most of the people that controls businesses in these areas are Indians ,Arab and Somalis(south c and Eastleigh) , I am not against multiculturalism I just want Kenyans to shine their eyes and see what's going on,multiculturalism shouldn't be mistaking as development rather should be treated as an aspect of recolonization....

Are you sure you read anything in the passage you just quoted?

Just30:
the UN is still waiting for Nigeria to deploy troops to Somalia

Don't be surprised if Somalia deploys troops to Nigeria soon

emeka1101:
So we should let this good for nothing creatures from that useless zoo called nigeria insult us whiles we watch?

And who insulted Ghana? You can make cogent and intelligent points without insults and vulgar words.

Foreigners having Financial domination in KEnya! Which foreigners? Young lady, those whites you see are either kenyans, or people working for the various international organizations. Our constitution allows dual citizenship and many foreigners are opting to be kenyans now more than ever! The fact that white people can be seen in many nairobi streets and surburbs does not make them dominant. They are just conspicuous! If Nigerians were white, you would be concluding that nigerians dominate kenya simply because they are in every corner. Foreigners don't dominate kenya, just go through this thread, preferably starting from page 1 because you clearly never went through the thread and you are now taking us back.

Daaay, u sound really pissed off. I'm sorry if i had said something wrong.
I have gotten the point. I never knew that most of the whites n Indians were equally kenyan citizens.

****Buh you called me young lady? Hoo, how old are you? Are you up to 40 years old? It'd be important if i had an idea so maybe i don't overstep my boundaries by thinking am conversing with an age mate****

We didn't nickname ourselves, the west nicknamed us long ago.

Lol..... sometimes you lie to yourselves so much you start believing it. Which 'west'? What do you mean by West? Which institution in 'the west' did that?

are you saying it is only Nigeria that sent troops to those countries?

You should be telling this to those Zimbabweans and Namibians you helped to liberate not Ghana that had lead the way in the independence struggle ..

*GeoPolician* .. what's that? .. please help me understand what you studied in school ..

Why won't you be confused? when you had an 'F' in both government and history. for your info, you are chatting with a GeoPolitician, so I guess you should know who is in the best position to speak the fact, I won't waste my time to school you guys always since google is always there for ignorant and uninformed lot's like you, but let me give you little tips to research on, Ghana gained independence in 1957 and Nigerian gained hers 3 years later in 1960.

Played major roles in decolonizing Zimbabwe in 1980, also Namibia from SA, we played major roles and deployed troops to Liberia, Congo e.t.c during their wars, of recently Gambia. Even SA is not an exception, Reason Nigeria was the first place Nelson Mandela visited after his release from prison, you can make research on all these.

TayserMahiri:
You guys just need to get Nigeria on leasehold. How poor can they be? As you say, you will soon have to fund their elections. Imagine they also take your airline (or ours) to travel to S.A to shoot an Ad

S.A is lucky to have such a giant colony

SHUT UP n stop talking nonsense!
shooting musical videos in African countries doesn't mean we don't have what it takes to shoot it here in Nigeria.

it means we want to penetrate their music industry even to the point of featuring their artists ode.....how will they feel watching a Nigerian music being shot in their country and featuring their artists?

You want me to educate you right, read western sociology books on Africa from the late seventies to late eighties on Africa by westerners, l have read many from my father's library because that was his degree program in the university. Also check out the book by peter Holmes.
Why must l school these people all the time? gosh!

Mauritius, Botswana, Cape Verde and South Africa are the countries ahead of Ghana ... the rest of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa rank behind Ghana in development. Some by small margins, others by landslide .. ..

Going by 2017 estimates, the GDP per capita of Kenya is higher than Ghana's. Nairobi ranks as a more prominent city in Africa and the world than Accra. Mombasa is a bigger and busier port than Tema and is definitely wealthier than your second largest city Kumasi. I wonder where you get the feeling that Ghana is more developed than Kenya to say it with such finality. Stop being delusional like your Nigerian brothers.

Nkrummah from Ghana and Nigeria's Nnamdi Azikiwe were the major fighters for independence, ours was delayed three years from Ghana due to some little problems, note that we are much more diverse than Ghana

See mumu. I guess the marselo u r using is also a nigerian name abi? No wonder u idiots are treated as slaves all over the world.
Humans from better countries are talking and an animal from a useless underdeveloped zoo like nigeria is also talking.

hahahahahah you think everyone is suffering from inferiority as you?? for your info the name you see here is my real name, I won't explain myself nor origin to you so let's just leave it at that.

Insecure people are known for throwing insults and banters to feel good about themselves, so who am I to deny you that?? I know you are having the best moments of your life here since it gives you the opportunity to converse with your lords and superiors, so I commensurate with you.

I don't stay in Eastlands Oga, I stay in Lavington. The only place I ever stayed and paid rent to a Kenyan was Roysambu. Foreigners still own a huge chunk of your economy, get your facts right!

Muafrika2:
Indians do have some business ventures. They are descendants of the Indian lower caste that were brought to work on the railway and afterwards, the colonial government allowed them to start small businesses which at the beginning were just simple Kiosks selling basic stuff.

The colonial government treated them as second class citizens (the Arabs were treated as the third class and the Africans as the fourth class, which referred to privilege like, Africans were not allowed in the city unless with a pass for a specific purpose) Indians had a designated residential area too, and most still remain there, hence the perception of dorminance in parklands estates by people like random number. They also had shops in Nairobi downtown (where Africans streets like river road were located), most of whose leases have ended and ownership shifted to mostly Kikuyu business men.

Europeans were given Karen. Karen land ownership is now mostly African. The biggest land owner there is the Catholic Church of Kenya.

That takes care of the two races.

Africans as previously stated were not allowed in the city. Those that had passes had "special", lower grade streets provided for them. They were also restricted to menial jobs. Africans got into the city after independence in 1963. By that time, the Indian investments (they actively participated in the struggle for independence and used their advantage to avail resources that were helpful in the fight.)

One of the first things the African government did when it came to power was to build houses in the city for Africans, especially government workers. So it built Buru Buru, Umoja, Jericho, Uhuru etc (mostly East lands Estates) That is why you'll find most Kenyan Africans in those areas.

With time, as Africans finally got into business and took over government, private estates and houses started coming up in all areas on Nairobi. Places like where Naijalander leaves are in East lands privately developed flats. There are many of those in East lands. The flats are owned by Africans. So Naijalander and random number were paying rent to a kenyan African and come here to say we are dominated by foreigners.

I'd say the richest group of people in Kenya are Kikuyus. They bought most of the land from white settlers at independence and used them to take loans and estsblished big businesses. They control the vegetable export, hospitality industry, the government etc.

Somalis are trying too. They are just as hardworking. Their family structures makes financial support for serious business ventures easily available. They will be found mostly in Eastleigh, where the British put them after they petitioned the colonial government to be graded as Indians. It's a mixed estate with other Kenyan Africans making the majority.

No, 'shooting a music video in SA is as easy as getting a permit and heading to your location anywhere in the city. There are no area boys or ‘omo onile’s’ to settle before shooting your stuff, and for the sexy multi-racial female models? South African women are more liberal and fun loving, most of them love appearing on music videos just for fun.'

The nonsense is yours

Marcelo290:
The most beautiful and Developed part of Nairobi could pass for a modern city and is far more urbanized compared to Accra, talk of the malls, the scenery, tall buildings, tourist attractions and parks.

The problem is when you come to all rounded development, cos just beside these places are heavy slums.

Have you been to Nairobi my friend?

So, would it be okay if i call you 'young guy'?

well I'm sure you Kenyans were planning to colonize them first,SA just happen to be the early bird that got the worm,but don't worry once we done with them we gonna leave you something to scavenge on .well about the leasehold thing,I'm gonna talk to Zuma and see if he can manage to convince Buhari to put Nigeria on auction,if Kenya beat SA in the bid then Kenya takes over as the new colony but if we bid higher than you we keep our dear slaves

Jayceon:
I have always been aware of the rapid rate at which SA colonize Nigeria,we shoot 80% of their TV ads,The Voice Nigeria was once hosted in South Africa,BBN,etc...what's next? Their next presidential elections?...

You just educated a brother with that info

I heard Big Brother Nigeria is shot in SA too, right? These people will colonize you oo hahaha! You're running their everything.

vaxx:
that is pathetic story. Nigeria was not only the country responsible for peacekeeping .ghana,togo,senegal and so contribute.

nigeria economic strenght is too weak to gain that position. take a look at the hieght of unemployment 13.9percentage. the economy is not robust enough to solve nigerian unemployment crisis and is leading to emergence of niger delta millitant and boko haram. I even heard there is another one called scavenger in niger delta now.


if little ghana can manage her peanut economy to the extent of stabilizing herself politically and total freedom she should take that position. but ghana now will prefer the role of little david against giant golliat

ooh no but i think ghana is paying nigeria back her coins even with interest. they are more nigerians in ghana now than ghamian in nigeria in 1980 to1990.the ghanian you see in nigeria now are expatriate unlike before when they do all kind of menial job. Thanks to ghana economy. I also remember nigeria govt use to prefer ghanian teacher.


at least on the population side i agree with you.


millitary strenght i am sorry to tell you these.nigeria army that fought liberia and saro war with ghana troops will diaagree with you. even general olusegun obasonjo will deny it . he is a product of ghana millitary school.


Assuming nigeria never exist. ecowas will have been a strong unoiun. becuse she will have little to accomodate and will be able to interact amicably without influence of populous country . The 60percent share was as a result of the population..

You are not objective with all your assertions, so I think it would be a waste of my time arguing with you because your mind is made up, you can believe whatever you want to believe.

Let me quickly admit that Ghana and other countries also played their own roles, but the major strides were played by Nigeria, ranging from the number of soldiers we deployed and the amount of resources when compared to other countries.

All the rest of the other gibberish you wrote are your thoughts and not facts, how does Obasanjo schooling In Ghana dispute all I said? because I also told you I had a Ghanaian teacher in Primary school has also led to your conclusion that the Govt preferred Ghanaian teachers? don't you have Nigerians working as teachers and lecturers over there? you lot's have your way of running around arguments which I don't have the time now, you can make researches on all I said.

You hosted us not because our economy was going down, but we hosted you when you had almost nowhere to go.

Ghanaians had a lot of places to go
There were more Ghanaians in Liberia than Nigeria around those times

Better employment and housing

Lol it could be

Sometimes it gets so annoying. I followed this topic from the beginning and our country was roped in when someone wrote "even Ghana" that's it needed for oxygen to go his insulting spree. One needs sometimes to display emotional intelligence and not get unnecessarily worked up when Ghana is mentioned.
