Funny that the TH-cam algorithm should recommend this video tonight, because just yesterday I had a similar conversation with some folks over dinner. I am Kenyan and recently moved back after spending 10 years in the U.S. and the past 5 years in Sweden. People always ask me how it feels to be back home and I always tell them that while it’s great to be back amongst family and friends, I’m really struggling to come to terms with how poorly managed and disorganized our country is. Constant power outages, the road to my house that has potholes the size of craters that have not been repaired in years, I need to have private health insurance because the public healthcare system is absolutely dismal, I could very easily list another 25 basic necessities that I never even once had to worry about during my time in Sweden. And the reasons these problems exist is not due to a lack of funds but rather due to societal greed, corruption and the grave misuse of public funds. So while it is true that people in Scandinavia may not realize how fortunate they are to live in a part of the world where ones basic necessities are already taken care of and everything generally just works, the same but opposite holds true here in Kenya where the majority of people haven’t experienced anything other than poverty and misery and therefore don’t know in their hearts that they truly deserve and should expect better. hoppas du njuter av din tid i Kenya :)
Our phones even register our thoughts so I’m really not surprised😂Yea, everything in this comment is so true. Things that should be simple (like health care or fixing the roads or getting your passport in a reasonable amount of time) but they aren’t, due to the reasons you listed, and it makes me wonder sometimes what that does to people, when your rights aren’t granted, so you start believing it will never happen or that you don’t ”deserve” to be treated right by your government. I think a lot of people in low and middle income countries (apparent in immigrant families) have this belief that life has to be a struggle, otherwise smth is wrong, and it probably originates from the conflicts and human rights violations they have lived with so long. There are def many layers to this discussion!
People who organized other countries, stayed at home and worked to organize those countries...probation era in US, police were literally corrupt, Americans did not move back to Europe but stayed, so kindly stop the brain drain and actually stay and work if you want a better country, stop wishing it!!!!!!!
Hay,I hope you're fine, welcome to coast to experience different culture I hope you will love it, especially watamu & malindi. Do you know why most of people from upcountry when they visit coast they never go back?
So where are you from and what was your purpose of going to Kenya. I wish bloggers could put in their description some information about themselves and reasons or purpose of their trips.
Wecome to Kenya, welcome to Nairobi too Jozefin. Just subscribed. Though a Kenyan, I have been to Sweden more than 12 times and I must say Sweden is a great country with wonderful people. Having watched this video, it comes out that you are very eloquent young lady with fantastic wisdom. I look forward to more of your vlogs. Karibu sana. 😄
Thanks for speaking to me..... Felt like a part of my life wasnt working even after putting alot of input but after watching your vlog i feel really good and am not gonna be compairing myself to anyone. Thank you soo much Angelique.
@@jozefinangelique I like how you simple with your vlogs imean getting to see the other side of Nairobi worms my heart, keep it up gal much love from Western Kenya♥️☺️
Karibu Kenya. We used to have plenty of plastic bags but poor garbage disposal habits. A law banning use of polythene papers/ bags was passed and welcomed warmly as it brought about a healthier environment.
