I've heard stories about the North and the South having to alternate presidency. How does it work? Especially considering that they have to be elected by popular vote? ![]() Does it mean that the establishment pulls strings to ensure this happens? ![]() jstbeinhonest |

Another question i have for Kenyans here Pls i want to know, what are Kenyan citizens and the Kenyan govt really doing about these Nairobi slums? Nairobi slums really appear numerous and quite large for the population of Nairobi and how did these slums evolve? Makoko the only slum in Lagos which has been demolished started out or was originally a fishing community where most of the population were from Benin republic boundary areas with Nigeria. I have seen a few pictures of some new mass housing buildings done in Nairobi slums to resettle the slum dwellers but i also heard that some of the resettled slum dwellers sold the comfortable houses they were given and went back to the slums, i mean that's terrible.

mkenya254: What brings u to Nigeria specifically? Am curious. About Nigerian pidgin, i don't think Lagosians even speak real Nigerian pidgin cos yoruba is the street language in many parts of Lagos, and Lagos pidgin is mixed with yoruba a lot. If u want to hear real Nigerian pidgin, i think you should visit Nigerian cities like Warri, Benin and Port harcourt (south-south Nigeria), where the language originated. This is where you find the best pidgin speakers, many who speak it as a first language and their major language at home, it is fast displacing their native languages over here. Infact if u hear real Warri Pidgin english, u may not be able to pick a single word out. We just don't have enough movie producers from South-south Nigeria to promote Pidgin language movie industry. So u only hear some good pidgin in our musics. Our govt is not interested in promoting the language if not it would have had a greater international image by now. On the part of history, even though we offer social studies as a subject from our Primary school levels, i agree that we really do not learn about African peoples and cultures. Only those that offer history as a subject in senior secondary schools have a chance to learning that. I think our educational authorities really need to work on that aspect. |

ianSweet:Kibera/Kibra was a land expanse just outside the Nairobi CBD that the British colonial government gifted to Nubian soldiers from Sudan. They had fought for the British in a war and were frequently used against African rebels in colonies. The problem with the Nubians is that they opted for mud and tin roofs as building materials, paid no attention to social amenities and built rentals which were soon taken up by Africans migrating to the cities from the villages. In addition to the Nubians lands, the railway reserves, lands owned by the Kenya Railway were soon invaded and form part of Kibera. Well, if you are jobless in a slum, and get a house that could bring in 20 times as much as you earn in rent, would you move into it and continue to starve in the pretty house or would you turn it into a source of income? I would do the later. Many of them are however renting out the extra bedrooms in their houses while squeezing themselves in the remaining space. |

MtuMsuper: This is probably a consequence of me living virtually all of my life down south , I must admit there have been lots of ethno-religious crisis in the North. I feel it has a lot to do with religion other than tribe though. Nevertheless, religious intolerance/extremism is common in Nigeria, probably more here than any other african nation. I however still insist that voting along tribal lines is not as rife in Nigeria as you seem to belive, what matters first is your popularity, how much money you have to spend, then factors like your tribe,religion... follows. |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by jstbeinhonest(m): 9:52pm On Jan 04, 2017 |
Muafrika2: Yes, there seem to be a mutual, non written agreement between the North and the South to alternate presidency. The political parties make that work by 'zoning' the seat to whatever region. The pattern seems to have been disrupted after Yar A'dua's death, it remains to be seen how much the agreement would be adhered to, our democracy is quite young. |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by ianSweet(f): 10:53pm On Jan 04, 2017 |
Muafrika2: Oh my, very enlightening response. Are the descendants of these Nubians still there in Kibera or they left? What about the other Africans who came to Kibera later on? Are they from indigenous kenyan tribes? If yes, can they still trace their native villages in Kenya? You are very correct, giving a pretty house to a jobless slum dweller is somehow unuseful, I think the best way to liberate people from the slums is to get them gainfully employed with well paying Jobs in the main city. You have told me about Kibera, what about Mathare and the others? I heard Mathare is even bigger than Kibera? |

naijalander: Northern and middlebelt minorities are so numerous. So they all cannot appear on a map. When you hear of over 350 ethnic groups in Nigeria, where do u think they are located? Plateau state (my homestate) has about 50 ethnic groups who speak completely different languages. There is a particular LGA in Jos here that has about 9 different ethnic groups. States like Taraba, Kaduna and Adamawa are even worse. The South-south region also has many ethnic groups too, Cross River state for instance has over 50 ethnic groups too, but imagine in this map, only Efik was mentioned. Are u yoruba or Igbo? |

Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Nobody: 1:57am On Jan 05, 2017 |
ianSweet:Yep. The Nubians are still strong and easily stand out in Kibra. They are not happy with the slum upgrade because it is being done on the land. But the government has a right to do it, especially for public interest. Mathare is 300m by 2km. The land is private but occupied by squatters. Probably started by low income workers wanting to stay closer to their work places around the city. The 2009 census counted just over 80 000 people living in Mathare’s 13 villages |

ianSweet: My company scales operations for large tech companies or tech departments of companies e.g. Tells, Large banks and insurance companies, betting companies etc. We advise and implement large network systems, horizontal scaling of servers and things of that kind. Unfortunately there is no time to visit all those cities ![]() Maybe pidgin is not promoted since it is seen as an urbane but developing language akin to Kenya's Sheng? |
