Nakuru is better than that Ibadan of yours

Kazikazi:
Hellooo Kenyans..
Why do you hate me here? What did I do? I never insulted you guys,never.I am your neighbor too.We are all Africans,let's leave in harmony!!!!
I know how you are hurt.I know how your pride is disappearing. I know how ashamed you are for those 'Harare' pics you were trying to masquerade as Kenyan.I know how painful it is to find you are no longer a tourism hub in east Africa but Tanzania. I know how bad you feel now when all people sees you for who you are..full of empty pride.

SLUMS IN TANZANIA DARESALAM
This is an essential part of Dar es Salaam where there are slum tours that tours and travel agency organize for their visitors,
this are like:

Temeke,
Dodoma,
Ilala,
Kiondoni,
Moshi,
Mtoni,
Taundika,
Mbagala,
Kijichi,
Kariokor, among many more.
Dar es Salaam Tanzania has one of the third largest slum growth rates in the whole of Africa. Slums that develop in Tanzania's cities to travel to are over 6% in a year’s time. The population of the people in those slums is also rated as the sixth in the whole Africa region.

It is also fascinating to learn that Tanzania has over six million of its people living in the slums

See this mumu o.

Oya carry your foolishness go front.
Another shithole mentality. Your president and family stay months in London for medical treatment.. you’re shouting nonsense. No naija teaching hospital has CT SCAN and MRI machines.. Naija is devil’s lab on earth. I've been trying to pound this into some mumu self-acclaimed intelligent people over here in Nigeria.
But you know na, black man stubborn. Oversabi no go let am see road.

Ibadan is big because is overpopulated it is infrastructure cannot beat that of Nakuru does Ibadan have running water 24hr electricity throughout the year how about shopping malls

tlann:
Kenya occupies position 1 because NGOs want to steal from international donors they said kibera has a population of 2.5million people while in real life kibera has population of 176k you should read about an article of kibera missing numbers

68816419:
Google is your best bet, just type malls in Ibadan, hospitals, recreation facilities and any other thing you need , also don't forget that Ibadan is the capital of Oyo state, Oyo state has other cities in it.
what's the capital of Nakuru?

68816419:
and what's ur government doing to stop this so called NGO from spoiling your so called image?

Runalong333:
My friend , you have said nothing here . The South African girl asked you for your literary rate and so did I, where is the ranking ?. She asked you to provide the number of educated Kenyans at independence vs those in south Africa ( black ), we are yet to see this .

I said black kenyans got their independence in 1963 and the South Africans in 1994. Meaning your deluded behinds had 55 years to fix yourselves without any coups and wars or disruptions from world powers. South Africa had 24 years to fix herself , with a lot economic sabotages and problems inherittited from apartheid yet they are your competition . That is why I said you behave like losers with self esteem problems. Nigeria is going through her own problems and still feeling some effects of the war yet we are your competition, even though you had a lot of " peace" in your journey . Now imagine if South Africa and Nigeria didn't go through those hardships . We probably would have a lot of Shuttleworths than you. Yes Indians and whites do dominate the strategic parts of your economy , go and hang yourself if that hurts to listen to.are there any whites and Indians in your kiberas? There are plenty of them in south Africa showing some changes taking place , but we would never see such in Kenya .nigeria has her own masters and they look like me lol.

You love explaining yourself much.You didn't do a crime asking about tribes.It's totally fine

True "what's your tribe" Question is so so annoying...

Anyway, these are Masai attires and cultural artifacts,

They use the calabash to store fermented milk.

Nigerians think calling someone a Masai is an insult...

Hundreds of pages ago I showed your own Indians outnumber ours and are also non citizens!
You have one mn we have max 100 k,ALL CITIZENS!! Also the locals struggling in your shipping sector have repeatedly stressed its in Lebanese, Chinese and Indian hands!
There's a Dubai based Indian running your largest industrial concern, second to Dangote to the exchequer.
I had a pic of a Lebanese village of mansions built by those owning your economy, but tbh that was before you came.
I'll dig it out?

From a Nigerian

Copied

Back From Nairobi

A commentary by Valentine Obienyem, the Special Assistant to the Governor of Anambra State (in Nigeria).


ONE of the most profound pronouncements from a Nigerian Minister was the remarks by the Federal Minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili. The Honourable Minister said that the Government would review the criteria for the award of honorary doctorate degrees by universities. The bastardisation of awards in Nigeria, which has also crept into the Ivory Towers, is worrisome to well meaning Nigerians.

Ideally, not everybody has the opportunity of pursuing education up to doctorate level, when you are certified as a true expert in your chosen field. However, some people with the requisite experience, even more experienced than academic doctors are conferred with honorary doctorates. We cannot quarrel if any University confers honorary doctorate on person like Chief Austin Ilodibe in transportation, because he is truly experienced even more than the books on transportation. What we quarrel with is placing cash values on the awards, thus honouring even little minds that stumbled into money and use it to buy their way without any form of experience. The key word is experience

Talking about experience, the wise one says that education comes one fourth from schools, one fourth from experience, one fourth from the teacher and one fourth from travel. We gain much from these sources if we are positively disposed or confront them with open minds. A good example is the refrain of Nigeria being the giant of Africa. The notion of being a giant has made most Nigerians suffer delusions of grandeur, to believe that Nigeria is the first in terms of everything as far as African is concerned. You need the experience of travel to know whether this is true or false.

At the risk of sounding immodest, I have travelled widely within the sub-saharan Africa: Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea (Conakry), and Senegal. Abidjan and Accra are good cities in their own rights. But talking about places like Liberia, Freetown, Conakry, you talk about some primitive, uninspiring towns, where women still go about the towns in the happy ignorance of their unclothedness.

Recently, I had the opportunity of travelling to Kenya, Nairobi, with my Governor and boss, His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi. Before Mr. Peter Obi became the Governor, he was the Chairman of Fidelity Bank and a Director in many other banks and companies. As a banker and a successful international business man, he moved around the world, from temperate to tropical zone from East to West and North to South attending one course or the other, one conference or seminar or the other.

However, since he became the Governor, he has not been travelling except strictly on official tours. He kept postponing the day he would visit his family in the UK, until the children became tired and had to come to Awka to see him. You may call this the demonstration of the fact that if the mountain cannot go to Muhammed, Muhammed will go to the mountain.

Recently, the Governor had a reason to travel to Kenya. Passionate about having Master plans for Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi, he had to travel to Nairobi to meet with the United Nation HABITAT and Shelter Afrique. Seeing the passion and the eagerness with which the Governor pursed this, the Organisation, as well as Shelter Afrique, promised to help him. Commending him, the under Secretary and Chief Executive of UN HABITAT, Dr. Anna Kajumulo Tibaijuka said that the Governor was a good example on true governace.

Typical of him, to save cost for the State, he travels, locally and internationally with a few people. Beyond saving cost, he always says that those in power find it difficult to relinquish power because they surround themselves with many aides that the prospect of surrendering power becomes frightful to them. Obi reminds me of Chief Chukwuemeka Chikelu, who, as Minister, would go to the counter at the Airport and do things for himself. Once I asked him why, and he said: "I do not want to live a borrowed life even as a Minister, so that any day if I cease being one, it will be easy to continue my normal life. In the case of Governor Obi, he usually tells us that being a Governor will not make him not to live his normal life.

Accept my apologies if I have digressed a bit. On the trip to Nairobi were the Governor and I. We flew Kenyan Airways, which is inscribed "The pride of Africa."


This at once aroused a sense of regret in me as a Nigerian. Is it not the place of former Nigeria's Airways that Kenyan Airways has taken? If not for mismanagement, what would have been of Nigerian Airways? At the time our Airways was functioning, was it not far bigger than Kenyan Airways in many respects? These are necessary questions.

At Nairobi, I saw what was beyond my imagination. Let me go straight to the verdict: Nairobi is far better than any Nigerian city you can possibly think of, including Abuja. Once at the Airport, you are bound to admire the order pervading the entire place. Though not as busy as Muritala Muhammed International Airport, it is better organized. In fact, some people told me, unverified, that the airport was built at the cost of Twenty-Five Million Naira (equivalent); while our own was at the cost of over Two Hundred Million Naira. But the two are big as to relatively cost the same.

Driving from the Airport to the town was a pleasant one. I took time looking at the street lights, and behold not even one bulb was not lit. Straight, we drove to Nairobi Serena Hotel. In fact, when we got there, because it was night, I could not really compare Nairobi and Abuja in terms of aesthetics. But when it was down, I saw Nairobi in its unclothedness.

Being an old city, Nairobi roads are not so wide. However, unlike our own disordered cities, Nairobi is clothed with flowers and the buildings are superior to most that we find in Nigeria. The transport companies, especially the ubiquitious Citi Hopper are far better that intra-city buses in Nigeria. Foreigners enter it with ease, no standing, no careless driving.

Working with Governor Obi is business not pleasure, he makes sure you add enough value to the trip to justify your travelling with him. Though as we were about to land at the airport, some places of interest such as Giraffe Park, Animal Orphanage, Nairobi National Musseum,etc were announced, but we did not go to Nairobi for a picnic, not with my Governor, but for business. On our return, as we touch down Nigerian soil, Kenyan Airways did not announce any place of interest in Nigeria. This is instructive.

However, in the spirit of adventure, I still managed to look out. Close to the beautiful Serena hotel is the Uhuru Park, a spacious park for recreation. If it were in Nigeria, corner shops would have taken its place. But in Nairobi, it is well maintained, and I understand such parks are all over the place. As you move along Nairobi streets you see public conveniences, neat and properly maintained. It will certainly be a source of revenue. In fact, it made me remember a king who built urinals around his kingdom, his son protested on why trying to make money from such a dirty place. When the money came, he took some close to his nose and asked: "Do they smell of urine?"

Nairobi is amazingly clean, especially when juxtaposed with Abuja. Without Okada plying the streets, you will not even see a single sheet of paper or pure water nylons on the ground. No wonder the city attracts foreigners. At Serena hotel, 98% of the guests are foreigners. You are therefore left to imagine how much the country makes on tourism. One Nigerian there said that what oil was to Nigeria was what tourism was to Kenya.

I had the opportunity of visiting University of Nairobi. Right inside the city, it is a reflection of the entire city: neat, organized and exuding scholarship. In my venturesome way, I interacted with some of the students and was not disappointed.

Nairobi has good hospitals, good schools and good weather. Though Nigerians seem well-to-do, but Nairobi is more of a human society than our disordered country controlled by bedlam.

Two days in Nairobi was a pleasant experience. As we touch down at Murtala Mohammed Airport, I was nostalgic about Kenya. A city where I did not witness police taking bribes openly, dry taps, power interruption. A city where right-hand driving is still in vogue. At our airport, we had to wait for some minutes for the generator to be put on, because the conveyor belt stopped when NEPA interrupted power. Regrettably, this was a reminding welcome to Nigeria, the land where,
