because it is very very petty to be honest. What you guys claim to hear from South Africans, we also detect a very thick Kenyan accent in the way you guys speak. There's no lower class or upper class English here..you guys are just stroking your own egos.

Well there is definitely upper class English accent.In Kenya you find urbane people speak that...rural people speak Nigeria kind of English..lots of mother tongue interference. In urban Kenya its frown upon and people try to lose it in school .In Kenya it's big deal to speak English with your mother tongue interference..folks consciously try to avoid it.In other countries I have been its embraced..its no biggie..like Nigeria..the upper and lower speak bad English

In terms of gdp Nigeria carries the day in Africa. Kenya will need another 20 years to catch uup with Nigeria in GDP.
Here comes the other side. In logistics kenya beats nigeria hands down. In fact it was in 2018 when Kenya became the secind largest logistics hub in sub saharan africa after south africa.
It goes without saying that logistics goes hand in hand with roads, rail etc. That means kenya has better infrastructure only second to south africa in sub Sahara Africa.
Mombasa port is currently the second largest port in sub saharan Africa and the fourth largest in Africa.
Kenya has now grown economically to become the second largest exporter in comesa after Egypt. In fact the IMF noted that Kenya stands to be the second largest beneficiary of the afta after Egypt.
Over 5 years Kenya has overtaken Angola to become the third largest economy in sub saharan Africa. In the process Kenya has more than doubled the per capita income and pulled millions out of poverty.
In terms of actual numbers and percentage Kenya has less people in extreme poverty than Nigeria.
Kenyan investment in technology has attracted the top tech companies to make Nairobi their hub in africa.
At the moment Kenya is actually pulling companies from south africa like general electric which moved their african hq from joburg to Nairobi.
Toyota is also planning to move their HQ from south africa to dongo kundu special economic zone in mombasa once construction is completed. Same goes for Nissan.
I can say despite having a lower Gdp than Nigeria and south africa, Kenya has also done alot for itself in agriculture. It is now the 6 th largest producer and exporter of avocados in the world, tje second largest dairy producer and exporter in africa, the largest exporter of tea in africa and the largest exporter of flowers in africa. In fact the eu estimates that 40% of all flowers in the eu come from kenya alone.

Toyota South Africa is not moving to Kenya, neither is GE or Nissan

When Kenyans speak English, there's an underlying thick Kenyan accent, the same with all African countries. You are trying to assume superiority where there's none.

rvp20182:
Nope Nairobi is competing with joburg

Dude you not competing with Joburg while Nairobi wealth is that of Pretoria, while Pretoria road network is 75% of Kenya, while infrastructure is way behind Pretoria,while Pretoria manufacturers more than Kenya as a country etc

Lol go compete with Dar es salaam, Accra or even better go compete with Kampala both are dusty cities

You're angry because global companies are now choosing Nairobi over joburg as their Africa base if not relocating them from there.

As he said "South Africa is a serious country unlike my country"

don't be deceived by YouTubers, youtuber's job is to change the narrative about African countries on turnished image.

Even If he was in Somalia, he would have gone to the best streets and say the same thing.

When Nigeria says the control things its true. They 450b the second largest in their region is 70b. Even the level of investment in that region speaks for itself

You 101 Ethiopia is almost 100, you not controlling
