East African music is deep and only made for intellectuals. But there are a few of our artists who sometimes throw in a few nonsensical Naija friendly words to accommodate you guys,

It doesn't seem that deep to me .

Its on Nairaland that am discovering Tanzanians are beautiful enough to panctuate every Nigerian posters paragraph. Next time I meet a Tanzanian I'll pay more attention

You do know there is thorough screening for those participants right? Especially because the consumers of such kind of programming are mostly (Nigerian) men like you.

Tanzanians are gorgeous! Same with Rwandans.

Nowenuse:


How many Nigerians have you met?
Many Africans in general are not really interested in world affairs.

You cannot miss a nigerian in Nairobi... Most of foreigners before visiting Kenya they are usually with the mentality of Wildlife and Marathoners... Most of them get shocked when they land here..

Nowenuse:


Small, how do you mean?

Abuja municipality has about 2 million people and it is far bigger than Nairobi city in size.

Nairobi city has 3.5mln pipo.

This is not the main CBD by the way, it an area called Upperhill district, adjacent to the famous Nairobi national.park.

You will not really understand. It's a very complicated issue.
Let's just accept the facts the way they are.[/qute]
I think its a political trick as well.

Yes, but only on the higher parts. Most of the roads that will take you to Amhara region and few cities around in Amhara are found on the higher part of the mountains, so you can see the clouds horizontal and feel the fresh air.

What are the chances of dying on those roads?

That's what every non East African pictures Nairobi as.

Kenyanstar:

You are most welcome in Kenya but please be on your best behavior, don't mention that you are Nigerian. I would advise you to say maybe Ghanaian since they uphold a certain stereotype in comparison to Naija materials. Kenya is relatively cheap & if possible in all means whatsoever don't interact with your fellow country men coz you will end up regretting meeting them. They are trouble in each & every way.

Really? You don't think any of what you said is rude or insulting lol? Just for that I'm writing Nigerian on my forehead when me and my friend finally travel to Kenya.

Don't mind them, and when you play the game of stereotypes with them( such as Kenyans are dark or only known for wildlife) they get ballistic.

For the fraternity with the Arabs it depends, it is more a religious link! Hadj to Mecca in Saudi Arabia for example, and egyptian syrian drama series on TV , there was an Arab current in magreb in the 60s and 70s, but that decreased after, the only arab country that poeple still care about is palestine .

- and yes berbers were christian before, due to roman invasion , do you know Saint Augustine of Hippo (one of the most important Church Fathers in Western Christianity ) ? he was berber , born in algeria . their was jews also , and population convert to islam and arabized after arab invasion

for wedding we practise the two ! court civil marriage in the town hall first , then with the document the imam can do a religious marriage !

Saint Augustine of Hippo was a berber?

The Nigerian people. Boko Haram is def being funded by some elite Nigerians.

Why do some Kenyans get angry when outsiders say they are USUALLY dark, l noticed this on twitter too, and same with your friend here mtis, there is pride in being dark.

Not angry, rather we simply deny what we consider an innacurate chatacterization.
60% of Kenyans are ethnic bantus, the largest ethnic group in Kenya. Kenyan bantus are not phynotipically disimmilar from the bantus in the other countries in Africa say Zimbabwe or Tanzania or Zambia or SA.

15% are cushites, they look just like the cushites in Somalia or Ethiopia or Eritrea...
.they closely resemble the Nigerian fulanis to me.

20% of Kenyans are nilotes, the second largest ethnic group in Kenya. Most are dark, like those Kenyan athletes u see on the racing track, but noy all them really. They vary im complexion from dark to very light skin.

Then we have the asians, arabs, europeans, the halfcaste....


So, by stating that Kenyans are "USUALLY" dark, based on the athletes u see on tv or the masaai cattle harders is a total misrepresentation of the fact.

fanficgirl:

That's what every non East African pictures Nairobi as.

I blame it on the media we have thousands of expats in the country not forgetting the UN hq, Hundreds of Multinational in the country plus millions of tourist since indepence but they will never portray the good side..

This is across africa Nija is not an exception, Nija will trend on CNN for day when Boko haram trikes but will hardly feature Eco Atlantic progress... same to Al shabaab in Kenya.

Everyone loves stereotyping Nigerians then they get mad when they hear our stereotypes for them lol.

I believe the two cities play the same role in each country.

Ph is the Oil city while Mombasa is the tourist city.
They both have sea line
Population wise they do not have abig difference though ph has an advantage.
They both have a port.

We can play around that.

Possible Criteria:

Population
Amenities (Total)
Cost of Living
Price of Gas
Total Crimes/100K
Violent Crimes/100k
High School Graduation Rate
Students/Teacher
Median Household Income
Commute Time
Median Home Price
Median Rent
Temp
Air Quality
Unemployment Rate
Recent Job Growth
Sales Taxes
Income Taxes

These are we need to have critical analysis step by step the best.

Starting with population, Port Harcourt wins.

Do you agree?

Now, you can do the second rating. This will be the big deal.

I dont have a problem with people being dark i found its only Nigerians who have such problem. Kenya comprises of arabs ,white,swahili ,bantu nilotes and cushites...i think much of your interaction is with Nilotes who are dark skinned..

But my beef with you is when ya start like blah blah blah..Kenya is a small country cant compare with Nigeria ..seriously what the butt are Nigerians doing in Kenya if its so small

Lol yea. I was never a follower of the media so I never understood how some people could be so ignorant. Imagine an idiot thought every African country was in civil war

What makes Nairobi Africa's 'most intelligent' city

(CNN)---For a second year in a row, Kenya's busy capital city of Nairobi has been named the most intelligent city in Africa -- failing, however, to make it to the world's top seven finalists.

According to the Intelligent Community Forum, "intelligent communities" are those that have taken "conscious steps" to create an economy that can prosper in the "broadband economy." The group has recently released its latest rankings, recognizing the achievements of communities that have built inclusive, prosperous economies on a basis of information and communication technologies.

Pls guys, let's not make the thread a bitter one! Cos i can see us heading in that direction!
Let us learn from each other instead of unnecessary comparisons that will take us nowhere.

A bit of some confontation and d!ck measuring are inevitable on this thread. Check out how this thread started off.
