@Mutegi
Lemmie correct u, Kibaki won in 2 provinces out eight and not 4. I live in Nairobi, though things has normalised in Nairobi, other parts of the country is still in chaos. Kibaki is killing democracy in Kenya, but we wont let that happen. He lost the election, why is only Central Kenya was celebrating when the whole country was mourning? We have 43 tribes, n how can only 2 tribes are being victimised by others? The whole world knows Kibaki lost the election, they banned the media live coverage because all the media houses had the correct results! Furthermore the ECK chairman is not even aware who won the elections! I remember vividly when he waz announcing results saying the some of that returning officers decided to sit on the results and switched off their phones. He even instructed police officers to track this guys!

Kibaki is another African dictator. We voted for him in 2002 and he won, what if Moi decided not to hand over to him? What could he have done?

"Thanx" 4 ur ignorant advice!

There is this saying "Never argue with a fool" coz you will never who is a fool! So arguing with you makes no sense. Kenyans are the most educated in Africa and are the most sort after professionals in the world if u don know that. Thousands of Kenyan professionals are spread all over the world. Why do Nigerians among the illegal immigrants trying to cross dangerous seas to Europe? The Naijas are nice pple, n i doubt if u are even a Naija boy! I ve made good Nigerian friends! Kenyans are peace loving, so i better retreat, i need no weapon to fight u! The most notable Kenyan companies making a hit in Africa headed by Kenyan C.E.Os are: Kenya Airways, KCB bank, Nakumatt Supermarkets and the most traded and sort after listed company in the sub-saharan region KENGEN (Kenya Electricity Generating Company).

ignorant, u r such a motherf@#@$@, f#@K ur damn asshole, We control our own economy, we dont need the foreigners, we dont want multinational companies, even on the retail markets and everything u Nigerians depends on South Africans, SA multinationals are closing down their businesses in Kenya coz they cant compete with Kenyans, we r very patriotic. Ur oil is being controlled by foreigners. Kenyan companies are all over East and Central Africa, from banks to supermarket chain stores.

New public transport buses in Nairobi

Shit!!! Who's shit! Ignorant is ignorant why? He has never travel 2 any country, secondly he has internet access and never make use of it, all he knows are shits!!! U cant compare Nairobi city and Kenya in particular with any other in Africa. Millions of tourists flock into Kenya every coz of its beauty and uniqueness. Thousands of Africans live in Kenya esp. Nigerians, I ve many Nigerian friends who reside in this beautiful city, i ve not heard of any Kenyan living in Nigeria!!!! The features speak for itselves not the word of mouth!

Its really sad, may God rest the souls of the accident victims.

I blame:

1. The government for not maintaining the road networks and instilling traffic rules on drivers.

2. The drivers for their reckless nature of driving.

The Kenya government reduced the accidents rate by half after introducing speed limits on the highways. All the passenger service vehicle, lorries, trailers and tankers should be fitted with a speed governor of which the speed should not b more than 80 KM/hr. All the private vehicles should not exceed 110 km/hr. All vehicles whether private or PSVs should be fitted with seat belts. No standing on the bus. And its a crime for a passenger not to wear seat belt.

These reduced the accident deaths by more than half in Kenya. Even if the roads are smooth accident occurs due to over speeding. The gava of Nigeria should do the same if they want to tackle this kind of menace.

People are dying like flies!!!!

More secrets to a woman's soul

1. Never say “I will meet you there” when starting to date a woman, (except for the first “getting to know you coffee”), at the woman’s request or when there are unusual circumstances) as you will lose mega points before you even get to first base.

2. Don’t rush in and say “I love you” and be over the top with compliments, particularly in the first couple of months. Pace yourself and keep some mystery and tension. Besides, the lust you feel may vanish quickly if you suddenly realize you have nothing in common with this woman. Don’t build up a woman’s hopes and play with her heart before you know how you really feel about her.

3. Don’t play the perfect gentleman with all the romantic games of love and compliments just for sexual favours, then suddenly disappear in the morning, in a week, or in a month with no explanation or future contact. This is manipulative, cold and calculating, and a cruel way to treat women. Never play with a woman’s emotions and heart for your own selfish motives and hidden agendas.

4. Don’t take your girlfriend or partner to the movies and go to sleep during the show.

5. If you take your girlfriend or partner for breakfast or lunch, never spend a large part of the time you have together reading the paper or talking on the phone, as this will be very hurtful. Value these times and see them as opportunities for deep caring conversation. Remember, conversation is one of the main inroads to a woman’s heart.

6. If you are watching something unimportant on television, don’t throw the woman’s desire for conversation to the side for the sake of a minor television show. If it is an important programme, ask her if it can wait, as you would like to finish watching the program. If it can wait, be caring enough to tell her that you will be right there for her in the ad breaks, or when the program finishes. Always acknowledge her, otherwise she will feel hurt and dismissed. If it is something urgent be prepared to sacrifice the program.

7. Whether newly dating or in a relationship do not be aloof and secretive about where you are going, or the things you are doing day to day. You do not need to share every minute detail, but if you want your relationship to last you will need to share your life and your friends with your woman so that she doesn’t feel excluded and left out in the cold.

8. Remember first impressions count when you are meeting women. Watch your body language and put your shoulders back. Be confident and real, and just relax and have fun.

9. When you are in a relationship, regularly tell your partner how gorgeous she looks. Compliment her on the things she does for you and her wonderful attributes. Do this no matter how long you have been together. These words however must come from your heart with genuine intent or it is a waste of time saying them.

Take her by the sea-side in the most expensive beaches, feel the sea breaze, watch the water waves, make sure the sky is so clear, look at the sky sic the sun look at her eyes, start like this "your eyes are so bright like the sunlight in the sky" check her response either verbally or body movements, held her by the hands and move nearer the water, then look at her eyes, make sure u get closer like u wanna kiss, without blinking take a deep breath and tell her softly with a deep voice "I LOVE U"

1. Check ur attire.
2. Check ur cologne
3. Dont brag abt ur wealth if any
4. B very open
5. Give her a kiss when leavi/arriving @home
6. Learn to appreciate and understand her.
7. B a good listener in front of a woman
8. Accept defeats
9. Seek dialoque incase of misunderstanding
10. Remember her birthday!

They want to put a seven star hotel, more conference rooms and a mega shopping complex, all these are currently under architectural designs. I think its going to b another city within a city after the sarit centre.

Its ok to ve sex on the first date, nothing wrong.

MMMMM, work and sex for a man of taste.

Nairobi is the best city coz of its strategic location in Africa, furthermore, its air connection to almost every city in Africa makes it more attractive to investors hence its economic boom. The Kenyans provide the skilled human labour by international standards.

Nairobi weather is very condusive to everybody in the world, 2day Nairobi is hot the following day its so cold. Kenya's unique scenery keeps tourists flocking in and Nairobi has the best facilities to handle all kinds of tourists from high spending to low spenders. From the game parks, casinos, best restaurants to the coastal sunny, sandy beaches.

Johannesburg is where it is coz of its gold, unfortunately, its controled by the minority whites. Jo'burg can have good infrastructure but it cant beat Nairobi's beauty. From the well maintained lawns in the park to clean, well lit street pavements, public toilets and dustbins in every corner of the street. Well organised bus transport systems courtesy of Citi Hoppa, Kenya Bus Services and Double M Connection buses linking the city to its suburbs.

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,

About 10 billion dollars has been set aside by the government to build state of the art road network in Nairobi. A 20 KM overpass highway will be build from Mombasa road on the eastern to Waiyaki Way on the Westland side of Nairobi. The overpass will parallel but above Uhuru Highway and Chiromo Rd. Also among the projects are superhighways connecting Southern, Eastern, Northern and Western parts of Nairobi. This will ease traffic jams in the city which currently comes to a halt during rush hrs.

Furthermore, don't be surprised! "Nairobi will become the first African city to host olympics" as promised by the presidential hopeful Raila Odinga during a dinner in Denver, USA, If only he is elected president during this year's general election in Kenya.
