Wowwie, these appartments are beautiful. Were they built by the government or private estate developers?

Private investors. The government does not do much housing except for the low income areas.

genieluv:
Daaaah. Kenya is a well-planned country than Nigeria from what i can see. Buh it seems like Kenya's influence does not exceed east-africa.



***Also i would like to ask Kenyans here***, why does it seem like their social/entertainment industry is not so influential? It would have been definitely lovely to see Kenyan (African) movies featuring these aesthetically pleasing sceneries as are been featured here.
I may be wrong though, so lemme speak for myself in case such exist, just haven't or would say hardly come across quality Kenyan entertainment.

What's your definition of entertainment and why are you guys so obsessed with entertainment if I may ask? Again, do you really think Nigeria's entertainment is of higher quality than Kenya's or just of bigger magnitude?

TayserMahiri:

Dude claims many Nigerians being on the internet is the reason why Nigerians are more civilized than Kenyans yet Kenya has a higher internet penetration than Nigeria. who told this people that Kenyans live in the jungle though? Some of the comments these guys who have never been out of their villages make are hilarious.

I have debunked this lie so many times with this wikipedia page whose source is from the ITU (a subsidiary of UN)
Kenya does not have a higher internet penetration than Nigeria.

Hooo, not like being obsessed. Only wanted to see the social influence thas all. Social influence is part of development or wah'd u think?
*****Can't say nada about quality. I haven't really come across Kenyan entertainment except for Sauti sol's music. U can help me by referring me to help me from my ignorance. Tnks

Holly I beg to disagree with you. English is a germanic language. It was simply a dialect of german that went through 'latin-ization' and 'celtic-ization' as the Anglo-saxons left the germanic speakers and mixed more with latin- derived languages speakers and celtic languages speakers. ***** I don't see how that was akin to 'pidginization' of the language.

>>>Pidgin evolves when non-natives of a language in an attempt to master the language adulterate it with influences from their original mother's tongues. The case with we Nigerians. Seems like you are Kenyan or Ghanaian?

i stated very clearly that English is a Germanic language!

Pidginization involves introduced words and alteration of grammar, let me illustrate.
English and German :
I am eating beef.
Ich esse rindfleisch.

The introduced word there is beef which is French in origin(boeuf in French ). The word Rindfleisch in German is literally "Cow flesh " .The French taught the English to assign new words for the flesh of different animals. Hence, pig meat (schweinfleisch) became pork, chicken meat became poultry and calf meat became venison.
The German grammar also doesn't include the verb 'to be'(which appears as am in the English sentence ) in expression of the simple act of eating the said meat. It would have been literally 'Ich bin esse rindfleisch', but somewhere along the way they must have dropped it.

Languages change their rules and add vocabulary all the time. No language has a monopoly on vocabulary, so borrowing is rife. Many a time languages have words that defy translation into another. Google the Portuguese word 'Saudade' and see what I mean.

Yes, kenyan.

My source is from ITU (a subsidiary of the United nations), so it is more credible than your source!

*** Interesting +++ Seems like you speak german?

Yaah, i get what you mean buh my point is that you cannot say English was a pidginized language. Native speakers of a language cannot pidginize their own language, now can they?
Since you are from Kenya, is it okay for us to say swahili is a pidginized language?

TayserMahiri:


Naah, dipper is pidginized diaper.

diaper sound like diarea to me...

TayserMahiri:


Whatever dude, the evidence is self reinforcing.

Now tayser do you agree then there is something wrong with Naijas..every time they are cornered or find Kenya is ahead they try as much as possible to deny it...tell him mobile phone penetration is almost 90 % but do i say

NairobiWalker:


Tema is richer than Kumasi?

Kumasi is very rich but Tema is an industrial hub filled will a huge chunk of Ghana's middle class
