Okie about the darkies..personally i feel like Nigerians has a problem with dark color . Ok Yorubas are dark (in kenya we have the Nilotes) ,igbos are light (in kenya most of the bantus are light ) an hausa/fulani look kinda somalis in a way( We got ours here)..we add the swahili who look like arabs .We also have Arabs whites indians among others...
My personal observation is that Nigeria does not have many visitors from other countries apart from Africa continent..so seen a white skin for most is a shock so the obsession with light skin...i might be wrong buuuut..

You're crazy! We are not obsessed with light skin.

Nigerian fulanis, shuwa arabs and other northern tribes look prettier than Kenyan somalis.

Your definition of style being?

Style is style. Class, Self carriage, Self grooming e.t.c

Jay254 has posted acreages of photos here. Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret,Thika, Lamu, Kericho, Kisii, Naivasha, Kericho.....these are all Kenyan cities.

This is Eldoret, our fifth largest town in terms of population. Jay has posted the photos of Thika on this and ther previois page, which to me is more charming than Eldoret.

He is only posting tourist sites and attractions in some so called towns.

Kenya has very few cities. You can't really call an urban settlement of very few people a city. A city needs some population, social and economic life.

Hati13:

The regional gov't of Oromo use the Latin alphabet. They see the Geez Fidel(alphabet) as there past oppressor(Abyssinia) writing system.

The Oromos say, they had been opposed particularly by the Amharas after Menelik expansion, but they had done the same or worse to the Amharas and others during their population movement from mid 16th century to early 19th century.

Ok.
Personally, i think Amharas should consider adopting the latin script. It would make it encouraging for outsiders to learn.

Are you saying East African Artists have fans in Naija? Anyone that got a bigger career by association with Nigeria? Don't mention Victoria Kimani. Its painful watching her career sink since relocating

I think Sauti sol are the only Kenyan artistes who have any fans in Nigeria.
While for Tanzanian artistes, i think Diamond, Alikiba and Vanessa Mdee. Uganda, none.

What do u mean about Kimani? Her career started and is blossoming in Nigeria. She doesn't have a career outside Nigeria.

All these love for Tanzanians. Kindly find them here and give us all a break. Majameni!

Muafrika2:


You people just admitted that you only listen to your musicians. Its therefore safe to say that those Nigerian collabos are of no additional value to our musicians.

Somehow true.
It takes a lot to penetrate the Nigerian market.
Nigerians just know that their artistes are the best in Africa.
I would say South African artistes are penetrating our market more and are more popular in Nigeria, followed by Tanzania and Ghana, Kenya comes last with Sauti sol being the only Kenyan artistes most Nigerians know

Kimani had just stated out her career in Kenya. Being new, she was doing reasonably well and would have been further had she stayed. I think the move changed her style abit, and disconnected her from her audience. But am not a fun of such music generally so my opinion may be generalized.

TayserMahiri:

LoL, just jealous that it is true.

My advice for you Kenyans is to step up your game. Especially Kenyan men.

Tanzanians are seriously dominating you guys in the entertainment and social industry.

Totally in agreement.

Kimani said it herself in an interview that Kenyans do not appreciate entertainment as much as Nigerians.

She has achieved a greater fame in Nigeria and is now a force to reckon with in Africa to an extent.
Sorry to say this, but apart from Sauti Sol, i don't see any other Kenyan entertainer as a force to reckon with in Africa.
Khaligraph jones is coming up though, he is yet to have fans outside East Africa.

Jealous? My brother, we see Tanzanians like you see your inferior neighbors. Unless you feel jealous of them too.

She should have said kenyans don't appreciate fake 'hoe' music and entertainment. Kenyans always want the real deal not some dumass pidgin and nollywood.

popizaino:
the only reason why it's seems lagos and abuja are developed beyond accra is that accra is too far spread out ad growing inefficiently.if there were tight city boundaries people would have been forced to build high rise buildings which will have given it a total different outlook and be rated very high.
coming to accra you will think town planning is nonexistent.

Abuja and Port harcourt do not have high rise buildings, but you can still appreciate them.

PH city is worse than Accra in terms of spread, believe me. Unlike Abuja which has a master plan, in PH and other cities in Nigeria, people are allowed to build anything almost anywhere they like. For instance, PH originally occupied 1 local govt area, now it occupies about 5 or 6.

Well, it is very obvious that you guys are wrong. Tanzanians are very reserved, calm and easy going people, so they dont have the luxury of exchanging words or arguing with anyone.
However, can't you see how almost all Nigerians here are saying the same positive things about Tanzanians?

The style and class of Tanzanians is radiating from East Africa down to west Africa and we are connecting with them more than Kenyans. Their entertainers are dazzling us and winning our hearts gradually.
TZ entertainment will become very rich if they can succeed to fully penetrate Nigerian market. The only problem seems to be swahili language barrier.

You better ask them to teach you Swahili. I actually appreciate them winning your hearts, they hardly succeed in doing much. Here in kenya, they are just a slow sorry bunch who cannot exploit their natural mineral resources. A country with so many resources, large land area, no deserts and the biggest population in E.A, we are the largest investors into their country. They have hardly invested anything here or elsewhere for that matter. People say that every young person in Tanzania is wishing to become a musician because there is hardly anything else they can succeed in.

Lemmi teach you a little before Tanzanians get to you

I = Mimi
Want (wanna) = Nataka
Laugh = cheka ; ku is for doing (the verb part of the word laugh or cheka) therefore kucheka.

So becomes

Mimi nataka kucheka

I speak Rwandan and Congolese swahili, so it's different from your Kenyan swahili.
You have to learn mine.
