As a nigerian lving in kenya, Monthly rent is tough to come to terms with but I love Kenya and the people, so easy going and calm!! The Cold is a story for another day.... 😂.. You forgot to mention how you hardly fall sick here because because the mosquitoes don't carry malaria parasite.. Its a lovely country
Yes I totally forgot about that!! Living malaria free is such a vibe! I love it 😍
U got new sub ma'am I hope you are enjoying Kenya I love naija people there are nice people tunawependa sana
At the coastal areas and at the lake side those mosquitos bite hard
@@nyashgerald3585 welcome to the family and thanks for the compliment.
@@bryankibet1587 oh really, but do they cause malaria?
I have watched many Nigerian TH-camrs, but this one is just different. The vibe is on top...found myself smiling over and over again.
I’m so so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your support
Me too, I love her.
me too.
Riiiiiiiight I enjoyed too
lovely gal..karibu Kenya
It always nice to see fellow Africans having fresh and different perspectives towards other African Countries. Great Video Jamila.
Thank you so much 💃🏾💐
As a Kenyan I appreciate this video about us. You earned a subscriber
Thank you so much!! Welcome to the squad 💐💃🏾💃🏾
I agree
Me too. Kenyan love you.
As a Kenyan in Nigeria, the heat is killing me I thought hermattan was coming lol!
Heya!! So so sorry sis! What city are you in?? Check out Laura Explaura on TH-cam and Instagram. She’s also a Kenyan in Nigeria. She’s so cool.
Sorry but I laughed 🤣🙈🙈... That heat is epic o and as much as we Nigerians here in Kenya complain of the cold that heat back home is not for the faint-hearted at allllll. Pole sana mama❤️❤️
@@jamidesutv hey sis ❤,I'll definitely check her out, thank you so much .I'm in Lagos, I live in festac
@@oyindamolaoni7731 I'm telling you,i just dey sweat like Xmas goat.Thank God for AC lol
Sending you love
For sure the heat is much
As a native Kenyan, born and raised in Nairobi, I also want to point out that different parts of Kenya have different things to offer. For instance, Mombasa (Kenyan coast) the food is different vs Kisumu (western Kenya) vs. Nairobi (capital city). Usually pili pili (chilli/pepper) is offered on the side.
Thanks for pointing out!! I’ll definitely explore other parts of Kenya. Thank you 😊
She is actually correct ,Kenyans do not do spicy food.What we have in Mombasa is not even close to spicy food.
Kenya is amazing country, not to mention how beautiful Nairobi is. It has a National park within the city and its diverse Africans, Caucasians, Arabs and Indians cultures make it hospitable for everyone from everywhere. I live in Nairobi and it became my second home in Africa. God bless Kenya and its people ❤️
God bless them real good. They’re so welcoming and friendly 💐
We also have the continent's largest slum. Thank you
@@jamidesutv kenya is actually considered a multiracial country just like south africa because it was a settler colony. thats why the colonial footprint is still very strong. the indians in kenya have been there since 1800s when they were brough to build the railway, just like the ones in south africa, fiji, trinidad and tobago and guyana. colonial descendants are in kenya who found the climate very suitable for them as well as the european migrant class .Nairobi also hosts one of the 4 global UN centers called UNON on top of almost every big corporations out there. you think nairobi is cold? try kijabe area..lol . great analysis
@@mindread2231 kijabe it's far, Kikuyu
@@josephmungai1799 You had to be stupid?
Your findings about Kenya are 100% correct. Yes we don’t do soup and peppe but instead Kenyans cook fresh food everyday in their homes. I was a student in India where one Nigerian friend showed me how to make soup to avoid wasting time cooking fresh food everyday in order to have more time for study.
Yes, you guys make food daily and you’re done in a few minutes but Nigerian food takes a while and we bulk cook a lot. Thanks for watching 💕
Lol. I am a Kenyan born South African and i cook everyday. It is second nature. I did not know it was our thing 🤣
Whoever told you its a lie born in kenya and i love spicy food not the way you're talking
@@liliankenya7737 I find it strange that these Kenyans don’t eat pepper nor make soup.
Kwani what do we call pilipili, supu ama mchuzi?
It’s poverty at times and perhaps the hot weather/ lack of fridge that Kenyans used to prepare food everyday.
Your experience is just a reflection of your culture/ family life and not the entire population of Kenya. Of course Kenyans also cook soup and we have many Nigerians here in the U.K. and the only difference is the ingredients and the way they prepare their soup/ stew.
I lived in Kenya for 9 months and honestly I can relate to all of this. Especially the lack of soup 😂
Hope you enjoyed your stay. Welldone sis 💋
Kikuyus won't believe it when they see this. They put soup in everything. We also drink goat head soup as an evening snack😁
This is a great experience. Preconceived notions can be different from the real life experiences. Great job!
Thank you my sister 😘
The Cold and Cost of living bruhhh!!! It was a shock to me as well.
Well done Jam, I found myself smiling especially to you singing ❤️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love that song so so much. Things are even more expensive now 🥹
Very very intresting just bumped in your video and I loved it.Very candid description of your experience in my country Kenya much love from Texas,USA
Thank you Victor! So glad you enjoyed it 💋

God bless you too Njoki 🙏🏾
Just the Name kenya made you earn a subscriber. My beloved country working out of my country was just a heartache..
Welcome to the squad 💋
The day I realised Kenyan food is bland to other Africans (and Asians) is when my Ethiopian friends told me "Kenyans consider salt a spice" 😂 I didn't know whether to laugh or cry 😂😭 ETA: I let them cook when they're at my house. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣ouch
😀😀😀
😂 as a Kenyan I always cringe when a Kenyan tries to impress someone with nyama choma... it's... just roast meat, like seriously. Food is not our strength 😂
Speaking of considering salt a spice, I told my mum once that I needed to buy some spices to take with me (to Australia). She suggested black pepper with a straight face 😑 😂
Depends on what part of kenya ur from..,have you guyz tried coastal food??..what do you mean "kenyan food is bland????"
@@amourbundrez3731 as a kenyan I agree that our food is so bland.
Was nice listening to a foreigner giving reviews about my country. I love Nigerians as well. Feel at home sis
Thank you so much Prisca 💐😀
I like how you're so natural and have quickly adopted to the Kenya culture can talk about Githeri, and how fruits are allover. The Kenya culture is interesting to be told by someone else
Thank you so much Sharon. I’m so glad you enjoyed my video. I’m trying to learn Swahili 💕
Loved watching this😍❤️ waiting for part 2
Coming soon dear
Interesting Review...you balanced it very well. Will be watching more.
Thanks a lot
Mennnn. The Cold is real. I really enjoyed this video. ☺️
The cold na die 😂😂😂 I remember you covering yourself upandan 😂
I love that part you mention githeri,that was so on point.
💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾. Thanks sis
Hehehe you forgot to add avocado. Kenyans are crazy nowadays every food they eat they have to add avocado. Ugali and avocado Kenyans my people, they enjoy life.
I love your positivity and that’s a cute song too🎉
Thank you 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾🥰
This is one of the most interesting cultural shock review about Kenya 🇰🇪 I have ever watched. Your personality stood out… and I found myself smiling throughout 😂. I relate you to the Cameroonian Victorine Bih Takwe…
I’m so so glad you enjoyed it 🤣🤣. I need to check her out. Thanks for the support 🙏🏾💃🏾💃🏾
@@jamidesutv much welcome. I forgot to subscribe… now, done.
You should be the Kenyan Ambassador to the world! I've really enjoyed your video. You have the spirit of joy in you. Thanks for making me appreciate my country more. We take for granted what we have
Thank you so much Kechy! You should appreciate your country more but I know sometimes it takes fresh eyes to see somethings. Thanks for watching 💐
Funny enough a lot of people from Western world think Africa is just a country with same culture. Imagine a culture shock from Nigeria 🇳🇬 to 🇰🇪
It’s always so funny to me honestly! We’re so diverse across all these countries . Thanks for watching ❤️
I've seen you co-host in another video didn't know you have your own channel. This video is very enjoyable. What a vibe
I do have mine 🤣🤣Welcome here 💐
I love your energy, gal! Saw you first when you did a video with Gina, and since then, I can't wait to come by your next video. You simply are on top of the game. Much love from Lavington, Nairobi.
Awww you’re so kind. Thanks a lot Ainea. Sending the love right back and I’ll try to be more consistent! Thanks for the support 💕
It's the energy for me,, 😁anyway thanks for sharing more about the 254-Nation🇰🇪, waiting for part 2
Thanks for your support!! Will be posting the part 2 soon ☺️
Now I'm also thinking of visiting Nigeria. The vibe I get from these videos.... Wow! 🔥😅
Please do, you’ll enjoy it
It's love at FIRST SIGHT of the narrative!
I love the narrative and the narrator!
❤️🔥🙏👍
I've subscribed IMMEDIATELY!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much Sidney. Welcome to the squad ❤️❤️💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
I enjoyed watching this 🥰 I can’t wait to visit Kenya 🇰🇪 ❤
You’re highly welcome 🤗
My friend from Sierra Leone usually sets aside a non spicy dish for me when she invites me over...I don't ask her to but she kindly does...
She’s so kind, I do that now for my Kenyan friends
Why I love Nigerians is because they are honest with their thought and bold to say what they think without being hypocritical about it. They are real and straight. Guys I have travelled around big cities in the world but Nairobi is crazily expensive in housing with tiny tiny spaces called rooms. But I love the weather.
The weather is really nice. Thanks for watching 🥰
As a Kenyan I enjoyed this video 😅🇰🇪🇳🇬
I’m so glad you did 💃🏾💃🏾
I love this channel already..am a Kenyan and all wht you've said is true..we love Nigeria
Thank you so much 😊
Nigerian are very good people. Majority have a big heart.
Awww thanks
One love ❤️
I second that! Married to one for over 16 years and l will still remarry him in my next life ❤😊
I love this video. So general and well presented without stereo typing! Well done. I must admit Living with Nigerians here in Europe i have realized that kenyan food is so plain. We need to borrow some tips from you guys!
Thank you too for being open minded. Some people are not even trying to understand me. We can learn and borrow different things from each other. Thanks for watching 💋
U are right dear.. because my Nigeria friend is married to a Kenyan girl..she is learning how to cook Nigeria food now
I always cringe when I hear Kenyans claiming the cuisine is great. I do love our food but it's nothing to brag about, in comparison to other cuisines. And yes, i find west african cuisine to be really broad in range and sumptuous
Good videos , keep up.. Kenya we are happy for visiting our country
Thank you 🙏🏾
😍 stayed in Nigeria for a while and still visits,totally agree with this video
Yippee 💃🏾
Madam if you can survive in Nairobi Kenya your fit for the world now you are a warrior....Real warrior
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Thank you Mel
This cold part I shock me pass😂😂😂 i was warned but i didn’t listen. Fresh fruits and eco friendly environment is and will always be my highlight😍. I have joined the liquid milk gang😂😂😂. Beautiful observations I enjoyed watching this video.
The humbling nobi here 🤣🤣🤣Cold nearly killed me when I came newly. Thanks for staying with me Gina 🙏🏾❤️
The powdered milk that I had at my in-laws in Lome is an abomination! What? Did West Africans eat all the cows? The heat that i experienced was nauseating as well. They aren't apples to apples. Let's stop with the comparison
The real cold will come from June July August... its too hot right now esp in Nairobi 26° is too much 😫
@@stevestephen2122 It's so hot now, I was surprised when I stepped out today. weh
Liquid milk ? Nigerians use Powder milk alot ? That's very rare here
Am a Kenyan, I have just subscribed . You got great content
Thanks a lot Milka. Welcome on board 🥰
I love the way she describe my country, it is a very accurate account.
Yippee!! You’re welcome here
Rent in Nairobi varies according to neighbourhood and nearness to town.
You'll find a 1 bedroom in Kilimani at 50k or more,while in Utawala or Rongai is 10k to 15k.
Oh yeah, the further the cheaper?
@@jamidesutv Nairobi rent is basically regional so first you'll determine if you're looking for upscale or low-scale areas. Generally Eastlands of Nairobi is Low-scale and Westlands is up-scale.
@@jamidesutv yea, rent is affordable it depends with location, what you want and your budget.
@@jamidesutv No, depends on the neighbourhood...the kind of people that live there...like Kawangware is a 3 min walk from Lavington but the rent there is like 3k-10k...Lavington rent is around 100k and above lol
@@kennedymburu2591 I've been to kawangware market
I assume pepper is not the only spice? We love spices! I'm a Kenyan from the North, and we use different types of spices; ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, black seeds, chilli, turmeric, etc. In as much as we love spices, we generally don't like overly hot foods. Hence, we've homemade chilli sauce infused with a tamarind we use to as 🌶.
I meant hot food as in pepper, that’s the spicy I mean.
Yap. True that. Spices quite popular in the north. Also found copiously in Somali restaurants in Nairobi and elsewhere in the country.
Spicy is also a term for hot/chilli foods
That is what we call spice. Pilipili is taken is tiny bit quantities
Good vibes ditacted. You have gained a new subscriber. Such a happy and lovable soul.
💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾Thank you so so much. You’re welcome to the squad
Really enjoyed your review! Make me want to move back to Kenya and im Kenya!
Awwww
Loved watching this 😂❤. Now I’m prepared for Nairobi.
Great!! You’ll enjoy it ✌️
Pepe is served on the side because most Kenyans don't like hot chilli. But we have other types of spices like cardamom, cinammon, nutmeg, masala,paprika,black pepper etc. we also incorporate herbs like bayleaves, corriander,bell peppers,rosemary, thyme etc. Take a tour in Ngara we have Indians who sell herbs and spices in bulk and you'll be amazed.
Ok Mercyline, I’ll do that. 😃
You are vibes! So lovely welcome to kenya
Thanks a lot. Asante 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Feel At Home..Waaoo.. Karibu Kenya..True Word..am a Kenyan living Abroad and I Miss Kenya..Talk also About Our Beautiful Wildlife..Promote Tourism..Let Your People Visit Kenya.. Karibu Kenya
Awwww, home is where the heart is. Don’t worry I’m big on tourism, I’ll tell them sis 🥰
youve spoken so highly of this country. I love. new sub,,, Id love to explore nigeria for say a week, someone to host me this aug/dec oooh😆.
One week is not enough o. Welcome Tk the squad 💐
I am a Kenyan.....and you have a new subscriber!
Thank you so much! Welcome to the squad ✌️💐
Thank you Jami for sharing this information with us.
You’re welcome bro
I have just subscribed to your channel greeting from Italy Kenya seem to be a very good place for holiday because of always religion and ethnic problem in northern Nigeria where I was born so we moved to Italyn in 90s since then we have peace of mind thanks for letting us see how Kenya is take care God bless you
What is life like in Italy?? Welcome to the squad!! Thanks for watching and supporting. I appreciate 💐
You are vibes! So lovely
Thank you
This was great to watch!
Maybe an addition, I think our streets are calmer, I found Lagos too noisy (or I was in the wrong parts). Strangely, I think the electricity connection in Kenya is more reliable, by far, there was too much power outage in Lagos for my liking.
You should visit Abuja next time!! It’s a lot less chaotic and beautiful with so much to do. I’m Nigerian but I can only stand Lagos for a couple weeks 🙈
Oh, everywhere in Lagos is noisy 😅
Even I am a lagosian, and I can't deal!
@@ItsToyoo True sis. that Lagos is hectic but hard core lagosians swear it's the best place.
As for electricity, it's like some people have sworn in Nigeria that we can never have constant electricity.
Love to see your insight into this!!! Such a cool video :)
Thanks sis 💕
The funniest ever Nigerian TH-camr. Thank you JAMIDESU. Just subscribed
Yippee!!!! Welcome to the club
You made me smile...love and high vibes from Nairobi 💙
Glad you enjoyed it Pauline. Thanks for watching 🥰
Welcome to Nakuru city,the youngest city in Kenya. Ensure you carry a pocket umbrella it rains when you least expect.
I’ll come back again soon 🙏🏾💋
Wow! What a beautiful lady! That natural gap alone is something. In rural areas, a cup of fresh milk goes for Ksh. 20. It used to be Ksh. 15 until when corona decided to invade
Wow so cheap, that’s great. Thanks a lot for the compliments and stopping by. I appreciate 🙏🏾
Very very informative video. You did great.
Thanks Emeka beanyi 😍
I love how energetic and positive this video is!! Loved loved watching 🤗🤗
Thanks Trish 🙂
I am a Kenyan who lives in Uganda. I thought we have fruits until I came to Uganda! They have more, bigger and tastier! Love it! Come and visit here. New subbie I love your content. By the way Ugandans don't eat pepper either!
I’ll come for sure. It’s on my bucket list. Thanks for subscribing! I appreciate you 💐

Glad that you love our beautiful country Kenya. It has always been my dream to visit Nigeria and i know that will happen soon.
Please do and don’t just go to Lagos. Go to Abuja and other cities 🥰
@Demikhay Africa 🅃🅅 I said not to go to ONLY Lagos. of course there is nothing wrong with going to Lagos.
100% true. ur energy is infectious....i like the vibe
Thank you!
Haha. Loved the video. Not sure about the pudding though 😃 our pepper and soup game could never compete with Nigeria. My friends cannot handle pepe soups which I love! Great video. Subscribed.
I love pepper soup, I really wish they could so they can enjoy it too. Thanks for joining the squad 💃🏾💃🏾
Rent here is flexible, you can talk with the landlord, house agency for monthly rent, annually or 6months, Kenya is all about negotiation ...we call it "kujieleza" or "kujitetea" ,also u didn't mention how we pay for our electricity like most of the house holds use tokens which pay as you use just like scratch card, or internet bundles, ..kenya is very hostable country, Kenya host a lot of foreigners like from neighbouring countries,we have huge population of Somalia, ethopians, ugandans,Tanzania ,,Nigerian's, burundi , rwandees, Sudanese and they all leave in peace and harmony
We also use tokens in my country. Kenya is definitely a hospitable country. Thanks for your input ✌️
As a kenyan, that comment on peas and Irish potatoes and soup was so funny.
😂😂😂😂
You earned a follower . That's true about my lovely motherland
Welcome 🤗
Good gal. You got lots of love from this country, hope you got enough store to keep it.
Thanks for all the love 💋
What do you mean Nigerians pay rent annually?!! As a Kenyan I'm shocked... never even thought that was possible 😂
Yes! We pay for the whole year at once. Shocking to you right?! 🤣🤣🤣
@@jamidesutv veeery shocking
Me too. Thought it was paid monthly in all parts of the world
Once upon a time, you had to pay for two years at once. Government regulations changed that
@@toluasaolu you can't be serious!
As a kenyan i can confirm that everything you said is true
Thank you! 😃
Great Video. Welcome to Kenya 🇰🇪
Thank you 😊
Great Content, its great to learn of what others things of us
Thank you Rufus
Everywhere needs to get rid of plastic bags. In Scotland they arent banned but you have to charge for them so everyone stopped using them. Its just amazing how much less litter there is now. You used to find plastic bag litter everywhere but now they have disappeared.
It’s a lot easier to deal with when you ban it or make it expensive
As a kenyan i love this ❤️💪
Thank you 😊
I'm getting addicted to African vloggers. This kind of content can keep me up at night binging.
Really glad to have you in Kenya. You are part of us now. Embrace your inner Kenyan 😂

As a kenyan, nyc video ad thank you,we really appreciate
Asante sana

Being waiting for this..... Culture Shockk!!!!!!!!
We’ve all experienced this in different forms 🤣🤣
I am in Mombasa because Nairobi was too cold. I had to take out my winter coat to survive their freezing temperatures. And despite these cold nights these people don't do soup. But I love their soberly dressed food. Just like us black ppl from Suriname the pilipili/hot n spicy is not abused at their dinner table.
So you ran away to Mombasa 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for stopping by
To survive the cold, we drink alot of tea, coffee, porridge and bone ( 🦴) soup. Then have heavy coats when up and about in Nairobi. Duvets for sleeping
You are different. Positive vibes only. Love how you're able to compare without being divisive.
Thank you so much ☺️
I really loved your video. It was so enjoyable
So glad you did 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
You look exquisitely gorgeous 🥰💖
Thank you so much 😊
Am a Nigerian. I love my country but my two favorite African countries is Kenya and Uganda.
