    Nairobi holds a special place in my heart, as it was a haven of refuge during the turbulent times of the early '90s. Fleeing the Ethiopian civil war at just 16, I found solace in Kenya, and the people of this incredible city welcomed me with open arms. The warmth and kindness of the Kenyan people were truly remarkable.
    I'll never forget a particular day when I was traveling from Thika to Nairobi. Struggling to gather the fare for the bus ride, an old man noticed my predicament and paid for my journey. His selfless act of kindness touched my soul deeply - he was like an angel sent by Kenya itself. This memory serves as a beautiful reminder of the humanity and compassion that exists within the hearts of the people of Nairobi.
    Thank you, Nairobi, for being a safe haven during a time of adversity. Your generosity and open-heartedness will forever be etched in my memory. 🇰🇪❤

We need to be in a position to manage servers and quickly access and verify results whenever there are disputes. We have made a lot of progress and this is because of Kenyans who have constantly pushed us to be better.

    As a multi racial (white presenting) American woman, I found Nairobi and Kenya in general to be very welcoming, and exactly the kind of place I wanted to be! I moved there in 2009, and loved it! It’s multicultural multiracial, the pace of life and priorities of kindness, community, and the high quality of lifestyle that’s available was everything I wanted. The west doesn’t properly convey how modern Kenya (and Africa in general) are. There’s a thriving arts scene, great infrastructure, food from around the world at decent prices and high quality (like you would find in a modern western country, but with all the flair of Nairobi! I want to encourage ALL people to visit and see for themselves how beautiful it is and how modern it is! Don’t just listen to what mainstream media and western misinformation tells us!

Yes the express way need to adopt to mpesa. I think they are considering this. I think this will be easier if mpesa can impliment contact less technology to speed up the queue. Besides national park and reserve, the forest, mpesa and fintech, kenya has also clean and fresh air, good weather and this mostly attractive to the Whites. Most Kenyans if not all friendly be use they are used to foreigners and many times you may hear them ask where are you from. This is because they have interacted with many people from different countries. The government may not be perfect but they have tried on infrastructures and adoption of technology. Hey you said that even beggars use mpesa, you are not wrong, just yesterday I watched young boys in Mombasa begging tourist for money for food and they said "you can send money via mpesa". It just shows how kenyan feel comfortable and safe with mpesa. Kenya is for all who find it a safe bode. In kenya there is no racist, atleast for the majority. My school in Nairobi used to opposite Nairobi national park and in the evening I used to hear lions roaring. There was a time that there were lions roaming along Mombasa road and everybody was safe.

      @@M45N Again, the millions of African migrants in Europe are none of my concern because they're not Kenyan. I know you have plenty of Nigerians, Somalis, Moroccans, Senegalese, Ethiopians and Algerians, Sudanese, Ghanaians etc but very, very few Kenyans, because we love our country just fine. You say Diani isn't the same as it was 20 years ago, but I could say the exact same thing about Paris, Venice, the Costa del Sol, Capri or anywhere else, for that matter. They were all better, different places 20 years ago. So? Analytics show property prices in Kenya are high mainly because of international buyers, especially from Europe. You can't deny that fact. I too would love to afford those overpriced villas at the coast. Maybe if I wait a couple of years, the market will dry up and hopefully the European prices will come down to more acceptable prices for Kenyans. I find it a little disturbing that you've taken umbrage to the fact that I, a Kenyan, dared to say that we would prefer more Africans (and the Black Diaspora) to come to Kenya. What is wrong with what I said? Is it the fact that I'm not displaying the same reactionary xenophobia Europe shows these same Africans?
      BTW, I realise I don't know who I'm having this discussion with. What part of Europe are you from? And what's your interest in Kenya if you hate it so much?

      @freedomm ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@M45N Are you in the habit of dodging questions with your own? Okay, I'll bite, just to show good faith: 1) Where do I start? Europeans like to paint Africa as lawless and crime-ridden, but I myself had never encountered crime directly growing up in Kenya until my first night in Europe where I was robbed for the first time in my life when they stole my whole suitcase with everything I had at the Gare du Nord in Paris. As bitter as I was, I didn't hold it against the French because Paris is a big, busy city and crime is to be expected. However, over the years, I experienced first-hand what it's like to be black in Europe ranging from minor hostility and micro aggressions to blatant xenophobia and overt racism. These could be from strangers on the train, to waiters and shopkeepers, to landlords and even civil servants. The problem seemed to be assumptions based on my accent and colour of my skin. I gathered that people would infer that I was a refugee or illegal migrant even though I wasn't. I noticed my white American colleagues, for example, never had the same problem. I was oblivious to the microagressions at first, but a black American friend tuned me to the fact and taught me to notice the ones that were going over my head. I should add that I met many kind, friendly and open-minded people as well, but the bad experiences are hard to ignore. 2). You've explicitly implied to another poster that Kenyans are a corrupt, thieving, untrustworthy, deceitful, unwelcoming people once you settle here, and that lady who posted the video would see a different side once she starts living here, do you deny you that? Did I answer your questions? Now will you answer the specific questions I asked?

    Recently traveled to Dubai and i was frustrated as to why i cant get something delivered from a shop across the city in 2 hours and pay the seller direct on delivery, they told me 3 days. Why?

    • @daviddavis7959
      @daviddavis7959 ปีที่แล้ว

      My take on the express and why they do not take Mpesa. The expressway is financed by China on A PPP. Meaning China has to recoup all its money plus profit then returned to govt. The govt of Kenya thus does not derive any revenue from expressway until its paid off.
      Now using Mpesa will mean China will have to cede some of their revenue to Mpesa in form of fees for using Mpesa. China being who they are see no reason why they should pay Mpesa a fee for a project they have financed. They i want 100% revenues going to their coffers. But China should rethink this since if they allow mpesa the more people use the expressway and the faster they recoup their money.

    I honestly like the contents of your vlog. As a Kenyan married to an Ethiopian and living in London, we always get surprised whenever we visit both Nairobi and Addis Ababa by the developments both cities have achieved within the last 20 years. We are building in Kaliti hoping to rent out. That said, rental and property management in Nairobi is on another level. An estate agent in Nairobi will very professionally manage your property for you, collect the rent, source for new tenants and send you monthly rental income statements without fail. Of course Kenya being a free economy country we draw our rental income when we need it through online banking to our UK bank with no questions asked. Kenya is truly haven. The other magic that will shock you about Kenya is what are known as financial SACCOs. These are financial help groups that have been formed by members of the public where they save up and borrow 3 times the amount saved with the interest rates for repayment being mostly between 1-2%. These SACCOs fund businesses as well, can also be used to buy a home, pay school fees etc. I advise you to do your research on this and vlog about it coz it will amaze you the way Mpesa has amazed you. CHAMS Media has made a number of documentaries on different SACCOs. Now even the Kenyan diaspora abroad have started forming their own SACCOs and building apartments for sale in Nairobi. Even the UN workers in Nairobi have their own SACCO attracting hundreds of other UN workers worldwide. Dr. Abiy is also doing marvellous things in Addis not to mention that Addis has the first electric trams in Sub Sahara Africa. Ethiopia is a beautiful and amazing country unique in its own spectacular way.
