Kenya fought for their independence.
The British conducted many aerial bombing.
Kenyans taught many in Africa that British as much as they were a mighty empire could be fought.
South Africans learnt from Mau Mau and many other rebellions.

British Bombing.
Aerial bombing continued to be a British military practice after World War II, but there were some changes. The RAF, while no longer relying on fleets of bombers, maintained the ability to drop nuclear bombs in the event of a major war with the Soviet Union. That role was eventually taken from the RAF when, in 1968, Royal Navy missile submarines were designated to deliver nuclear weapons in the event of a war. However, the RAF and planes from the Royal Navy continued to use tactical bombing throughout the postwar period and into the 21st century. RAF and Royal Navy units dropped bombs in support of ground troops during the Korean War (1950-1953), the Falklands War (1982), the Persian Gulf Wars (1991 and 2003 to present), and in Afghanistan (2002-2014). Bombing was also used (though on a limited scale) to keep order in Malaya against communist rebels and against the Mau Mau Rebellion in Kenya.

Exactly. They havent seen a bomb in their entire lives because none of it was ever dropped. They paid pure gold and british took enough of it.

Baliv254:


i dont think there are many independence struggles in africa that were fought in this manner
kenya was meant to be a settler colony like south africa was upto 1993, the british air dropped thousands of bombs in forests to attempt to snuff out the Mau mau, relocated hundreds of villages into concentration camps.

Most countries on Earth with oil aren’t filthy rich. Oil isn’t a free ticket or magic. That’s a myth only believed by the ignorant and low IQs.

All those perimeters you listed Nigeria has better than Kenya.

Nigeria has one of the best commutes in the developing world. Far better than Kenya.

It has better electricity than Kenya.

It does have sewage systems. More than Kenya.

It has some of the best piped water by African standards. Better than Kenya.

It has one of the largest and fastest growing road and rail networks in Africa. Far ahead of Kenya.

It has the 4/5th best security in Africa leaving most of the insecurity happening in the smaller fringe communities. Terrorist defiantly aren’t strolling into the Heart of Nigerian capital cities and turning them into blood baths annually. How does a Somali terror group regularly terrorize Nairobi Zombies? Pathetic.

The more you try to reduce Nigeria; the more you reduce Kenya because Nigeria is superior to you by most perimeters.

Kenya is the most grand Zoo of all. A place where an adventure can see both large exotic animals living there natural lives in the wild along with (humans)Kenyans living in the same wild, in huts, or urban slum cages.

Kenya politics - it's 2.5 months to the general election - the two leading candidates are well known - one has been prime minister - one is current deputy president.

Opinion polls indicate it's neck to neck...although Ruto has an edge. I also believe based on my tribal modelling of kenya mostly ethnic based politics that Ruto is going to win in 1st round.

The running mates (Deputy President) will be unveiled before the deadline on Monday...today or tomorrow.

Then manifestos will follow. The focus of the candidates is the future...to sell their ideas on how they will make life better for kenyans.

By time you want to be president your track record should be known - and focus should be on the manifesto or issues.

Nigeria will end up electing another Buhari for what he did in 1985 - this time it's Tinubu- for what he did in 1990s - then they arrive too old too weak too senile too tired to do anything except breath and other basic metabolism.

Limit yourself to little India's politics and make sure you don't elect another drunkard and a murderer.

All these bombings and sufferings for independence only to hand the country over to Mr. and Mrs kenyatta and their spoilt puppies.

Tinubu is a smart and brilliant politician no doubt but I personally think Nigeria needs an inspiring transformative leader who can unite and get everyone moving in the same direction. Asiwaju has his haters and detractors who may seriously hamper his efforts no matter how well intentioned should he become president. His frequent medical enforced visits to the UK also doesn't sit well with me considering what we've gone through with Bubu.

Nigeria doesn't just need economic solutions but someone who can help heal deep sitted wounds and inspire us to better.

What you just suggested are wishes far from reality...no one wins an election without structure, election goes beyond ordinary people on the street, there must be connection between the contestants with individual who commands respect within their locality..those capable of influencing votes..this are oligarchs, people of high caliber.. employers, civil servants etc.

You can't change that even in advance countries this is how politics play out...

Jomo Kenyatta was imprisoned for 7yrs for his role in armed resistance
And therefore deserve Kenya leadership - which he won in 1960s.
We have always conducted elections every 5yrs.
We are not a Zoo like Nigeria.
We have no military dictators that we recycle.
Uhuru was elected and has 80 days to go home.

You want to unite the country by the charisma of a leader?

Why not fix the systemic, structural and constitutional frameworks that makes division and disunity fester. Why not listen to what Ibos are saying and fix their issues for example. Why not have constitutional conference to address such issues. If it sharing natural resources - make a law that address the concern of the people.

You guys are funny for lack of a word - never too serious. You cannot unite a country for long by the charismatic talents of a leader.

Why not face your tribalism in Kenya and your systematic issues that allows only a certain family or tribe to rule? Why not address the cause of the depressing tribalism in Little India with just 46 tribes (including India )?

We are and we have.
We have 10yrs old constitution that address most of the challenges.
We have laws that address such issues.
By law we required all appointments to reflect the face of kenya.
By law we required women to make 1/3 of all appointment.
By law we divided money to counties based on population, poverty index and other such parameters.
When we got oil in Turkana - we gave Turkana 30 percent of it - made turkana minister of oil
Because we want avoid Nigeria - where South East - were the oil comes from - are busy sabotaging the pipelines because they get nothing.
Money goes to Abuja - and now they want to secede so they can get oil money.
Then North Nigeria - has Sharia law - what kind of nonsense is that - how is Nigeria suppose to function as a country?
In Kenya - we have sharia law only for personal matters btw muslims - we have kadhis courts - but only for personal matters - divorces, such by two muslims willing to appear before it
Otherwise everyone stick to common law.

Is this why you handed Kenya over to him, madam kenyatta and their spoilt boys?

According to kenyatta the whites stole Kenyans dry while they closed their eyes to pray.

But he and his cronies stole what the whites left behind even with kenyans' eyes wide opened.

Mombasa if define as metro - including diani, north coast (all way to vipingo), and mainland to mariakani is huge.

Mombasa has more hotels bed than entire Nigeria - I am talking of proper hotels and cottages - you're talking almost 40kms of hotels on both direction from mombasa main city (Island) - that is almost 80kms of world class beach front with hotels.

One would imagine these are well known personalities; and focus should be on their manifesto; what they are promising to do; their ideas; and the future. Not everything he did in the office 25yrs ago. What are they proposing to fix electricity crisis for example?

At least this focus of kenya politics - what will you do?

For example Ruto (who I am supporting) is promising amongst other things - universal health coverage -No Kenyan will pay for medication once we assume office this year because they will all be under the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) cover. That is our priority at Kenya Kwanza.

Raila who I dont support - is promising welfare cheque for every jobless or poor family of 6,000kshs (60 dollars) every month.

>>Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has defended his decision to give unemployed Kenyans Ksh6,000 monthly stipend noting that the state had enough money to set up the Ksh100 billion Social Welfare Fund.

One joke - governor of muranga - is promising every kenya a cow

>>“Some say that they will give out Ksh.6,000 to the needy but my government will provide every Kenyan citizen with a cow.One home, one cow, and I will make this come true. I want to start it before being elected as President,” he explained.

A crashed Lancaster was recovered just recently.

On 19th February 1955, during what the then colonial government referred to as the "Emergency" enacted to combat the Mau Mau uprising, an RAF Lincoln bomber belonging to No. 49 Squadron based at Eastleigh aerodrome, crashed near the town of Githunguri some fifteen kilometers (eight miles) north-north-west of Kiambu.

@rvp2018, you were right on catching up with jorburg - SA. We just need to fix our horizontal infr and everything will be perfect.


Nigeria is currently out of the league. The focus is now on SA and N.Africa.

I honestly think Osinbajo is the closest you can get to that at the moment. Apart from his qualifications and competence the way he talks and interacts with people convinces me he'll be able to do something significant if elected president. Northerners respect and trust him. Even the fiercely anti-PMB don't dislike because of any bad he's done per se, but his association with the present government means he has to get some blame for Buhari poor leadership in some instances.

PYO doesn't have all the ideas or answers to the country's problems I'm sure he knows that but he has the mien and temperament to gather the best minds to work with him to address Nigeria's many ailing problems. He already has a good working relationship with governors which will be important for the future because let's be honest for this country to witness a massive turn around a good chunk of the governors would have to be on the same page with whoever is president to achieve lasting changing. For me as long as Atiku doesn't get to be president it will be a little progress.
