Kenya again

Nigerians and weird stories. And here i thought kenya loves nigerian entertainers. But it seems nigerian are into weird african story.
Maybe this helps the giant of africa sleep better. Believing the continent is far worse of than nigerians.

Trying explaining to nigerian why their banks make more money than SA or Kenyan.
Nigerian Banks are the biggest thieves in Nigeria. More than all politians together.

Last time i was in lagos, MMIA didnt even have AC. The whole ambiance was shitty. I had to pay for VIP just not to lose my mind.
Anyways any5hing changed in 2017

Swerrychick even when you travel you would appreciate Nigeria, it is a third world country fine, but you guys are just too negative. If you are a Biafran then you can be that negative, l understand. But as a Nigerian, why should you only focus on the negative of Nigeria and ignore the little steps towards progress she's making, while you do the reverse for other countries.
Today some are even praising Cameroon, but weeks ago l read an article from a Cameroonian, advicing Biya to copy Nigeria and learn from the development he sees in Abuja. This was at a time Biya was to pay a visit to Buhari last year. He listed so many things for Biya to learn. I'll post the article.

I think you missing the point here. There things nigerians can learn from kenya like milk production and distribution. Your argument doesnt answer the really question which is: what small steps are you talking about?

Litmus:
No Nigerian here seem pained by Kenya's progress. It isn’t in Nigeria peoples' nature to wish other Nations in Africa ill. Actually, so many Nigerians elevate other African nations (undeservedly) above Nigeria. Some Nigerians rightly take issue when, just for political millage, the progress made by other African nations is used as weapon to disparage Nigeria.

In many respects, if anything, the reverse of what you stated is the case. Many Africans from other nations seem the ones pained by Nigeria’s progress, real or imagined, and yet act the wronged.

U seem not to live in this reality. We africans are not pained by your progress but atitude. Nigerians go to africans countries and act like they own everything. Just like white people do. You dont respect africans. U put yourselves above us like the arabs and whites. No wonder you guys bleach to much.
Anyways i admit, if nigeria were developed. With its 200million ppl. We'd all be probably ahead. Thank God that wont be the case in 20yrs.

komia:
It's Nigerians living in kenya posting as there's stable cheap electricity, affordable fast internet, focused policies. Next.....

Hahah you shut him up well. Hongera

genieluv:
Kk. Good explanation

ππ It's a good thing that some of these whites n Indians are also citizens. Don't mind we west Africans. We are not just used to sharing the same country with people of other racial backgrounds. Hence our pre-conceived mindsets of a 100% black african entity.

It's not a Nigerian thing, it's a west African thing. Apart from Cape Verde which was a country founded by black labourers & white masters, no other west African country had a history of white, Indian or Arab settlements. Nuuh we don't. Xcept maybe Mauritania (and they don't even consider themselves west africans)

I have checked the list of richest Kenyans as someone told me to and i found out the Indian influence or economic power is so true
Can u say anything about this?

Simple common sense. India was colonised 200yrs be4 africa was partitioned in Berlin 1880s. They already had miles of railways because tee and spices were the best foreign earner for UK. Somewhere down the line, the british thought have intelligent slaves to be more valuable. For the french and the rest this was a no no. And thats why even in SA they were second class citizen. Better educated and so willingly to pls white ppl. Hell in SA they have more rich indians than blacks. Nigeria is to monotonous. They like going to other countries and shitting there. Chai.

forgiveness:
It is high time I burst some bubbles.

Nairobi is the Africa headquarters of international organizations claims.


They said Nigeria doesn't have Regional international organization headquarters but we told we are building our own world international organizations in Nigeria with headquarters in Lagos.


However, out of the 58 international companies or agencies sited in Nairobi, 30 are East and SubSaharan Africa regional headquarters while only 22 are Africa regional headquarters.

Nevertheless, out of the same list, I counted 26 international companies or agencies with their West and Africa regional headquarters in Lagos.

Since, that is all they have, Lagos will dust Nairobi if we count all the west/Africa regional headquarters in Lagos such as banks, Oil companies, manufacturing companies etc.

This is all the international companies with headquarters in Nigeria. I numbered the companies with West Africa/Africa headquarters in Lagos.

Sadly we lost coca-cola. But the west african unit is headed by kenyans.

shadeslove4real:
Kenya? Is there Estonia embassy there or what?

Yes they do have. Cant you google it?

Any posts about nigeria railway been built by chiness. I hear they are been taken for a ride.....

bantudra:

gabon is 1,3million,,,india is 1,5billion......all gabonians have electricity,but not all indians have.....does that realy says much to you....??

Brain fart.

Is there a coup d'etat in nigerian. Big topic among nigerian immigrants here?
Actually dont really care. Any kenyans here contributing to "skyscrapercity"

KealDrogo:
I can see a white woman in the crowd is she protesting to get pregnant?

You can have her...

Zenithpeak:
Kenya is not even the problem.

What a pity for a big white fowl (Nigeria) that couldn't realise its worth.

Kenya is blessed with so much animals that the people of that country reason like they live in the games reserves.

Am not a violent person. Hell someone claimed africans to be docile. Its statements like these makes me wanna beat the shit out of my nigerian neighbour. Maybe i should. Anyways 700000 nigerians live in canoues in makoko. I bet their brain size is smaller than the fish we eat here

Oxtonguy:
In Nigeria we gat power blackout because of military activities here in South south, in Kenya they gat black out because of monkey. This monkeys are smarter than Kenya. They put Kenya in darkness http://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2016/06/08/africa/kenya-monkey-power-outage-trnd/index.html

Nigerians ate all their monkeys. Thats why every few years they die of ebola. Monkrys dogs and rats are not food

TayserMahiri:
Nigerians, get toilets first, so that we can be sure we aint listening to your poo.

Am not messing wit u

Nairobi has plans to be the finacial capital of africa like london to europe or ny to hong kong and et.c so it plays to their advantage to have every country should be represented.
But now it seem nigerian banks have money to burn in kenya.

Nigerian companies are always welcomed. Soon they will move their HQ to nairobi. Thats when probably nigerians will realise that kenya dun talking.

Chuksdede:
Not really surprised by this because right from time immemorial Kenya has been known for having sexually debased women

so you woke up and decided to click on this tread about porn and claim shit. Hypocrtical nigerians thinking they are the better african.
Pls nigerian women prostitute all over europe. Kenyans do it at home.

Hahahahaaa. God bless somalian ppl 4 doing waht africans outside nigeria dream of doing.

On a serious note: violence breeds warriors .

cutieme:
@Pidgin,I doubt if you have ever stepped out of naija to experience life outside.I mean in a peaceful country and not all these racist or war zone countries.I have lived in different countries and i can boldly say that Nigeria is lacking in so many ways.A country you cannot boast of security,sleeping with fear of robbers or kidnappers.A country you cannot come out to relax outside or within your premises upto 12midnight without fear.A coumtry where nothing works,no law or justice,corruption and nepotism trolling everywhere like no man's business.You are talking trash and asking silly questions if our forefathers didn't live comfortably without all these basic amenities but you forgot that Naija wasn't like this in their time.Then there were zero cases of kidnapping and less of stealing e.t.c.Nigeria is blessed among countries in the world everyone knows but our bad leaders have made living uncomfortable for us depriving us of the basic necessities of life,something some of us are enjoying in other countries so why won't i stand by the truth.Pidgeon or pidgin stop all of those blind arguement and undeserved patrotism.

You are pouring your heart out on a stupid troll. WHYYY??

TayserMahiri:
Lol, no reason to doubt her, except maybe for the claim on beauty.

Hahaha i bet she as beautiful as nigeria

TayserMahiri:
Relatively speaking sister. I'm not talking of beauty in the eyes of the beholder.

Are we sure she is gurl?

Pidgin2:
Stupid Nigerians abi, may I ask what you are doing on here? It's not your fault, this forum is faceless so you can keep insulting, I have already shown that the biggest slum in Africa is situated in your country. In fact, the top 4 largest slums are in Kenya

Hahaaha one stupid nigerian camee out to play....

On a serious note am coming to a place near you........
So i wont be faceless dat long

Pavore9:
Your purpose of relocating and how you intend to sustain yourself as I have encountered many Nigerians in Nairobi who are at a dead end!

One word: DEPORT
How: Faster than lightening

dasparrow:
Calm down! I think he is educating those that are ignorant about which supermarket chains are owned by whom to dispel any false information. We are all here to learn. This thread is very informative and I would hate for it to turn into an abusive thread like most threads on Nairaland these days. We are here to learn from one another and not to become abusive towards each other. No wonder Late Bob Marley - a Jamaican - sang the song "Africa unite" because he saw how divisive Africans can get with each other.

@OP

Nice one! I have never visited any African country. Europe and America is were am conversant with.

But he different kind of african. Provocatuer at his finest a troll. Ppl who need education always ask the question. That dude made a statement to provoke a reaction.

A country so homogeneous like nigeria dont get it when they see indians or whites claiming to be kenyans and even africans.

Ps where in europe. I might hit you up soon...

BedLam:
Eh. Didn't quote Abuja lol!

Well true, but we all know its just a matter of time be4 you change your mind

GERALD710:
Last I checked, Tuskys, owned by Black African Kenyans also has 24 hour stores, One in Nairobi and Tuskys Mtwapa operate 24 hours a day.
However, Nakumatt has more stores operating 24 hours a day.I presume the person visited Nakumatt Ukay which is just a few meters from Westgate Mall and operates 24/7.
Nakumatt is indeed owned by a Kenyan of Asian descent, but it is not the only retail chain in Kenya and although the largest, it only has a market share of 12%.
Kenya's retail sector is dominated by Black Africans as the second largest supermarkets, Tuskys and Naivas are owned by Black Africans. Uchumi, owned by the Kenyan Government comes fourth. Ukwala is the only foreign owned supermarket in the list that comes fifth.It was initially local but is now a subsidiary of Choppies. Nakumatt has minimal presence in mid sized towns where locally owned supermarkets dominate. For example if you go to the Kalenjin inhabited areas like Eldoret, Nandi Hills, the dominant supermarket is Kassmatt, owned by a Kalenjin.Go to Central Kenya, Maathai Supermarkets, owned by a Kikuyu is found in all the major towns of Central Kenya and only has one store in Nairobi. Eastmatt is based in the Central Rift and is most likely owned by a Maasai(as it started in Mau Narok and has stores all over the Central and South Rift.

Why do kenyans have the need to prove stupid nigerians wrong? Makes us look too desperate. Or maybe my african pride(if such a ting exist) is lacking....... or maybe arguing with a dumm person makes you dummer.
Anyways this is a tread created by a nigerian that claims nairobi is better than lagos and abuja. Thats sounds right to me....

BedLam:
Lol. Calm down. This is not needed anywhere. Not in Kenya to say.

If you say soooo

Anyways am visiting nigeria again soon. Any recommendation to a nai-boy!!!!

streetwise2015:
@sHOTdownHawk What is Biometric? Do u mean BVN? Please Clarify me?

your national ID and Passport,(biometric a must). And a returning ticket to your home country (especially if nigerian, returm ticket to nigeria is a must, no transit through nairobi)

Personally if you dont now what biometric ID or Pass is, you should not be allowed to travel outside your country. But it has come to my attention nigeria stil uses both non biometric and biometric pass.

Thats the new generation IDs and Pass which have your finger, iris and even dental prints stored in it. Just for security purpose.
