Of course colonialism was wrong and it was ended. They should have done what they are doing now...engage africa in trade and exchange of ideas...they should have spread their superior culture, goods, bought natural resources...without subjugation and excessive force.

Our grand p are now mostly dead - the last person who saw British in Kenya is now - what 65yrs.

We have now reset our relationship - we now import goods from britain - we sell them goods - we are good - mostly. We still are doing the copying/aping/ - but it's not forced.

Shma2022:
I'm wondering, was it worthy to kill, inflict the kind of torture they did to our grandP, Grab land, render another human in grimy slavery just for the sake of pushing their superior culture?

Of course. I enjoy almost as good electricity as in Europe. Better internet. Water is good. Name it....my life in kenya is better than in Europe mostly. Only problem are dusty roads and some garbage I see here and there. Otherwise living in most part of Kenya - we have done very well - that is why experts voted Kenya the best in Africa.

Nonsense, that’s the rubbish you tell yourself to feel better. The feeling you get from it must be satisfying and addictive.

Nobody force people to change their culture or religion. The Maasai stuck to it - and it's been to their detriment. Muslims remained muslims. Those who saw sense adopted "British" culture because it was superior. My own grandmother told me most people became christians after seeing wonder of British modern medicine that enable their kids to survive - from horrible infant mortalities of those days. Those that saw the fruit of education - followed.

The British were not all evil. Yes they grabbed land and resources - but they also civilized Africans.

Blaming British now is very lame. This is now our mess. We own it.

Shma2022:
As it stands out; African culture was way inferior, Nah? So brits had to sacrifice several black wakand for redemption & allow their OWN democratic rule to reign supreme.?
So the brits came and adjusted it with theirs: bringing modernization and initiating democratic govnt... Killing the real way of African's vibe, culture, ethnology, principles, and way of life for their own to triumph?

Did it really help?
Sacrificing dozen of lives & rendering many in dire devilish & ferocious torture!

What if no nation was colonized? Ethiopia is doing great anyways.

Kenya has done better than Nigeria despite not getting oil like Nigeria.

samorobo:
Before you throw stone quickly tell us why Kenya isn’t any different 60 years after gulping independence. With all that British aid you are still gasping for air. All that asslicking is in vain,Kenya is still a hardcore shiithole

1900-1960 - Nigeria/kenya - British Colony.
1960-2020 - Africa independence.
60yrs v 60yrs.
We have failed ourselves.
We cannot blame Britain anymore.

samorobo:
For everything you think the Brit’s gave you abd still giving you they take in thousand folds back. The sooner you learn that they aren’t here to help and don’t give a shiit about Kenya and africa then the better for you.

British if it had stayed longer might have helped the now hopeless Nigeria. You're still walking the Sahara, swimming the mediterranian, hiking on trucks to get to Britain....60yrs after you became independent. Maybe we need to let British come and fix our countries.

Anyone blaming coloniliasm for their under-development now is a slowpoke.

AskiaHarem:
That may be the case for Kenya but leave the rest of the continent out of your mouth c00n.

The Coonery is strong in the heart of this one.

Wuoche:
Tangu siasa iishe naona unaanza kurudi back to the usual Rvp that we all knew . Anyway bravo for instilling some sense into that Obaboon.

Nobody worship Britain. Most people worship the Jewish and Arabic gods. Britain should undertake restitution for their coloniliasm. We also should appreciate the British for many good deeds...like stopping slave trade in Nigeria and Ghana. Should we partner with Britain yes. As we seek restitution and compensation...Mau Mau were paid some million pounds...we should not forget that Britain is source of forex in remittance & AID to Africa - source of investment, trade and development. They are our partners now. We are friendly to them.

obaaderemi:
So what about Kenya that they brutalized?

Nobody is bitter about Britain. But it's just disgraceful if you still worship them after all they stole from you both physically and emotionally, like your forefathers they castrated.

US fought a bitter independence war. Nigeria didnt. Why would you be bitter with Brits when they left you better off than they found you.

obaaderemi:
Since 1776 US has never been in the Commonwealth even if it was poorer than the UK then.

Since independence us has never recognized the British monarchy. It's about national pride, bro. African leaders need to develop some self esteem.

My hometown Kericho -arguably one most beautiful places on earth- is also source of many flower farms

And sit on golden stool from Ghana.

GeneralDae:
The queen is not responsible but she comfortably wears gold stolen from conquered lands?

I dont get the animus with queen. She has been a decent lady. She has ceremonial powers. She is not Tony Blair who invaded Iraq. She lived long and was mostly force of good doing charity work.

If you have a problem with Britain...this queen is not responsible

Why is Ramaphosa unable to fix Eskom. Time to bite the bullet. The big problem is on big consumers - that 1600MW is nothing for them. I believe about 20 of big consumers - consume about half of electricity. And they are big manufacturers, mining companies, water, etc. They will mess the economy - as manufacturing and minning will have to stutter.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Independent power producers will be synced, the process is on going.

Already 1600 mw of renewable is being processed to be connected into the national grid

We have to deal with remaining issues like land and such - but we are also friendly to British - are part of commonwealth - and queen has been there forever - and definitely for Ruto - he is in cloud 9 - he is not a week into presidency - and is rubbing shoulders with all the big boys. So let our man enjoy it. This is honeymoon for him.

obaaderemi:
Nobody is saying you should not asslick the British. I remember they own half of the best land in Kenya, but why make a show of it.
I am for Africa to forget its colonial past and move on in terms of development and progress. Not to worship the British. He is not the only one there. Why does he consider it such an absolute privilege to be bussed around London only for him to get back home and start bossing ordinary people around?
Something is definitely wrong with African leaders.

The more reason to smile or you wanted him to shade crocodile tears. Let also admit that Britain post colonial period does a lot of good. They provide AID to many countries. We are also in friendly relationship with them. We cannot forever wear the bitterness of colonialsm. It over. Get over with it.

obaaderemi:
Look at the Kenyan president with the idiotic smile plastered on his face.

The British punished his country to no end during the mau mau days and he's there proud to be attending the British Monarch's funeral. The others too are proud to be in London
to mourn with a nation that gives no Fvck about them. Buhari did the smart thing.

Ruto delivered a TKO. The desperate movement you're seeing here are nothing but rigor mortis. The last thing is for the tail btw their legs to get final hardon then we can pronounced them completely politically dead, bury them and we move on.

vankelvin:
[/b]

Is too early for such complaints at least give Ruto 2-3 years before you start complaining.
That @Obiano guy deserves a knock on the face

They are looking for company in misery corner and are praying Ruto fails....so their political decision is vindicated. If they had a nuclear...they would nuke kenya

vankelvin:
Was he expecting Ruto to transform Kenya into America within a week or what?

Less than week. He was sworn last tuesday. We are dealing with very bitter folks who are yet to accept their old slowpoke Raila is completely finished.

vankelvin:
Oh come off it! How long has he been the President of Kenya? Less than a year in office and you've started complaint already, abeg breath okay

Meles was worse - he was mass murderer and dictator - but he transformed the country. Being a thief Pinochet didnt stop Chilean president from making it 1st world.

Of course Ruto is not a thief - the real thieves you'll be shocked in next few months - when state capture commission start work.

Ruto has been accused of all many things including crimes against humanity - but look who is Kenya president

Obiano13:
Stop comparing a thief to Meles.

ESKOM taking South Africa to route Nigeria. Level 6 load shedding for rest of 2022.

China is not worried. We shall see - if price is a problem - they will reduce. Nobody expect a toll road to turn profitable day one. Chinese have 30yrs

AfriqueDuZuid:
Why would I be anxious of it to fail, I actually like the development but recent videos and pictures have me worried.



We've had tolls as long I can remember.

Another bitter fool. Ruto has been president for less than a week. He has not even formed cabinet. I know he set very high expectation but relax. Nobody works as hard as Ruto.

Dr Ndii says they are working 16 hours per day.

In the next few days - you'll understand why some of us have supported Ruto for years. Ruto works hard, smart, and never give ups until it's done.

He is the next Meles Zenawi and your old man Raila was hopeless against such a terrific talent.

Ruto isnt planning to be just another president - he want to transform kenya.

5 days - he has hired 6 judges, cut off oil and maize subsidy, given police their financial autonomy. In btw he has fixed parliament - go both house speakers, majority leaders, and now taken Mps through the agenda that will roll out. Parliament is about fixed - remaining just comittees.

Now he is spending 16hours per day - studying the lay and laying the plans - meeting those in gov - to understand just the kind of hole - Uhuru and your little slowpoke Raila have dug.

In short if I was you - I would go to bed - and cease worrying - Kenya finally is on the right hands. If Ruto cannot fix it - nobody else will be able to fix it.

Obiano13:
State capture commission ß....the opposite happened. Uhuru has been rewarded heftily.
Cost of living down in 1st 100 days...the opposite has already happened. Nwo every Kenyan is crying, esp the hustlers,,,fuel prices up, food prices up,,ofcourse as a typical Kipmeno you won't see anything so long as your uncle is in state House warming the seat for kyuks.

You're very anxious to see it fail. Give it time. How are South Africa toll roads doing? Meanwhile Kenya is negotiating with US, French and Koreans for more than 5B dollars of toll roads.

AfriqueDuZuid:
There isn't any

But from what I've seen it's pretty down... Tolls+ high fuel prices.

It's would be sad to see such development become white elephant

when Ruto was min of agricluture (voted the best minister for three years) - we had bumper harvest. From importing maize from south africa - to surplus maize.

Ruto 12yrs ago - fixed agricluture - the problem became too much maize. Agriculture is easy to fix - quality inputs (fertilizer, seeds, pesticides) and better husbandry/agronomy - and you have too much food it goes to waste. Ruto in next two years will have taken kenya back to throwing excess food away.

This was average for month of may. There is no latest data I am aware of. Maybe you can share ones you have.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Those are launch dates numbers

What are the numbers in August?

You subsidize inputs - never outputs. Fertlizer subsidy versus Maize grain subsidy. It common sense. One is investment. One is consumption. Fertlizer application can increase production of maize by upto 50-100% - and it cost very little. Maize subsidy in month was 7.5B kshs...in 12 months...it can go as high as 100B kshs. Fertilizer during planting season...you can spend 7B....the whole year...and double production.

Remember Ruto has minister of Agricluture did this - kenya had Maize Surplus for 1st time - I think we produce 40 million bags..against 36 million bags consumption.

Uhuru stopped it - and now we produce less than 30m bags of maize...and are in problems.

So relax, sit back and watch Ruto transform Kenya. It's been 5 days since he was sworn and you want miracles.

MzeeMwenyewe1:
You say uhuru was bankrupting the country by paying subsidies then in the same breath you say Ruto will come up with subsidies for fertilisers, machinery etc.

Stick to posting pictures, what uhuru was doing was putting a cap on final prices of basic commodities to cushion ordinary Kenyans.

We are a free market economy and most of the major industries are privately owned, there's no guarantee that they'll lower their prices because of raw materials subsidies. Other factor may arise during the chain of production therefore at the end the price may be the same or higher.

Over 31,000 vehicles have used the Nairobi Expressway every day since it was opened up to the public on May 14, 2022, albeit on a trial basis.

where did you get that figure from... I'm in doubt because it doesn't look like it receive even 10k

Crazy. Why would you need a ceremony. I bet everyday there many foreigners who become kenya citizens. You just need to mary a kenyan girl. Thousands more through naturalization - 7yrs.

Buhari Confers American, Spaniard, 200 Others With Nigeria Citizenship

The most friendly country In Africa is Nigeria

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday in Abuja awarded Nigerian citizenship to 286 nationals, urging them to be good citizens of the country to enjoy all the rights and privileges bestowed on them.

"You have pledged your allegiance to Nigeria. When you give your love and loyalty to Nigeria, she returns her love and loyalty to you," the President told the awardees during an event at the State House.

The President explained that out of the 286 foreign nationals presented with certificates of Nigerian Citizenship, 208 received certificates for Naturalization, while 78 got certificates by Registration.

He urged them to make positive and useful contributions to the advancement, progress and well-being of the different communities they reside, adding that as citizens they must be in accord with the national ethics and code of conduct.

"You are expected to abide by the ideals and Institution of the Nigerian National Flag, Anthem, Pledge and respect for all Constituted Authorities.

"All those concerned with Immigration matters are to offer our new citizens quick legal identification. Also, their Local Governments should assist with their integration in the local community to enable them enjoy all the entitlements of a Nigerian citizen," he said.

This use to happen recently - folks took Kenya subsidized fertlizers, repackaged them, took them to uganda and made profit - will happen again no doubt. hopefully this susbidy is short term coz of global inflation

PROVERBZ:
bad people will take advantage of this deal.
They going to buy and export to neighbouring countries where they would sell at normal prices and recover the subsidy for themselves.

A problem Nigeria has been facing for sometime now.

But let's forget that. Brother how about ehrnthe fertiliser get there ism send u money to buy and resend back to me in Nigeria with a little profit lol.

Now makes sense why he was present and why fertilizer deal was announced. As long as he makes quality fertilizers why not.

PROVERBZ:
I don't understand why a section of Kenyan people on twitter are angry at rumour news that dangote would be providing the Kenyan market fertilisers ??
Can any Kenyan here explain to me.
U already but these fertiliser from somewhere else it's not like it would be favouring Nigerian businesses to the demerit of Kenyan counterparts.


Mehn give us dollars and if u also want by products of crude oil put in your orders before first quarter of 2023.

Day 1 - Ruto already done some work. Dangote hovering.
