bobthebuilder99:

Is it true that the President killed some people?

sorry,couldnt let this pass...its so not true.
galivant,what you are saying is that millions of kenyans delibarately voted in the wrong person.
Despite the west trying to steer the election in favour of a particular candidate and even threatening consequences if kenyatta won kenyans stood firm and voted in their choice..and he is no killer.anyways lets wait for the ICC (a western tool) to cofirm it.na sina ubaya.

I don't want to turn this into a political platform.About his charges by the ICC,facts speak for themselves and justice shall prevail.However,since majority of Kenyans gave him the mandate lets wait and see if he will deliver.As far as things go he has my support.

LOL if this is all about Nairobi then it is far from looking like Lagos.

Giant lobelias add to the majestic landscape.

Beautiful!

From the size of the people on the bottom of the pic one can estimate height of clif.





There is a wide variety of wildlife in the national park, though many are few in number.





The park is popular due to its close proximity to Nairobi and lowered park fees compared to other National Parks.

Inside the train. Clean and orderly. I have travelled on the train during peak hrs, and had a very pleasant journey - comfortable and no squeezing like the Kibera and the Ruiru trains.




The train at Syokimau Station




The train station is still empty,their is supposed to be shops to serve commuters.




The check in barriers.

An interesting note; It's cheaper to use the train ie. distance from Nairobi cbd to syokimau 20km costs ksh.30 ($0.3),yet taking a boda boda (motorbike taxi) or matatu can cost you upto ksh.100 ($1.5) for a relatively short distance of say 3km.
Let's hope the government or private sector can come up with more such projects to connect each and every Nairobi suburb and it's environs.

The slums in Kenya are worse than those in Nigeria.
If I post the photographs, many people will be too depressed to even sleep.

The slums in Kenya might as well be worse than the Nigerian ones. But the purpose of this thread is to showcase the other side of Africa which is rarely seen or told.

Check the following link and see what i'm talking about.
