No, i don't have a Kenyan boyfriend, but nothing wrong if i have one smiley
****I am not ready for an argument. Kenyans have done well with their tourism sector and deserve commendation for it no matter what the negativities are and that is really my point.
I might have been over emotional in my expression buh you can as well see that other Nigerians here agreed with me.
God bless Kenya
God bless Nigeria
God bless Africa. smiley

Aaw! You are so good natured! I'll hazard a guess that u are probably the reason why the harsh arguments here have somewhat toned down here.

No, coastal kenyans are muslim. Its the same for much of the Eastern coast of Africa due to Arab trade. Unfortunately, our older generations were not influential enough, they would have converted arabs to traditional african religions

Multinational companies with their regional/African HQs in Nairobi.

Can u count how many IT firms are on this list.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_and_organizations_based_in_Nairobi


It is high time I burst some bubbles. grin

Nairobi is the Africa headquarters of international organizations claims. grin


They said Nigeria doesn't have Regional international organization headquarters but we told we are building our own world international organizations in Nigeria with headquarters in Lagos.


However, out of the 58 international companies or agencies sited in Nairobi, 30 are East and SubSaharan Africa regional headquarters while only 22 are Africa regional headquarters.

Nevertheless, out of the same list, I counted 26 international companies or agencies with their West and Africa regional headquarters in Lagos. grin

Since, that is all they have, Lagos will dust Nairobi if we count all the west/Africa regional headquarters in Lagos such as banks, Oil companies, manufacturing companies etc. grin

This is all the international companies with headquarters in Nigeria. I numbered the companies with West Africa/Africa headquarters in Lagos. grin

Which languages do the two words originate?

Shikena originated from hausa

>>>>>Yanfu yanfu, hmm i dont know buh seems like Igbo or no language at all. Many pidgin words have no language origins.
It's actually spelt n pronounced nyafu-nyafu. Can also be replaced by 'boku, sara, jabrata, full-ground'. grin i don't think all these words have any origins, they just evolved.

Shikena means..that's It, or that's all.
Dunno if you know this old song from Naeto C( Nigerian musician) titled Ten over Ten. Just listen to it., the chorus ends with shikena.
https://www.google.de/url?q=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DMdjxnapms2Y&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwj656bGxJjUAhUkIJoKHbAWDrMQtwIICzAA&sig2=RIB4tGsAMHZZWpm26ris6g&usg=AFQjCNE4WEIiVQiu-YJqeU-DLI51OzMmEg

Shikena is actually a hausa word.
It's surprising how so many hausa words made it into pidgin yet most hausas do not speak pidgin.

Wahala, wayo, jara, yanga, shege are all hausa words by origin in pidgin english. smiley

It is inevitable.

Ethiopia’s economy is expected to overtake Kenya’s this year, buoyed by massive government spending on infrastructure that has kept the Horn of Africa nation on the list of the world’s fastest-growing economies in the past 10 years.
The International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) latest statistical estimates indicate that Ethiopia’s gross domestic product (GDP) is forecast to grow from $61.62 billion in 2015 to $69.21 billion this year, narrowly beating Kenya’s output, which is expected to rise from $63.39 billion to $69.17 billion over the same period.
“Ethiopia has experienced double-digit economic growth, averaging 10.8 per cent since 2005, which has mainly been underpinned by public-sector-led development,” the African Development Bank, the OECD Development Centre and the United Nations Development Programme say in the latest African Economic Outlook report.
Kenya’s GDP of $14.1 billion in 2000 was 71.6 per cent larger than Ethiopia’s $8.23 billion in the same year but the Horn of Africa nation has closed the economic gap in the last five years of robust growth.
The IMF’s GDP estimates are based on current market prices using exchange rates prevailing between July 22 and August 19.
INVESTMENT DESTINATION
Having established its economic lead ahead of Kenya, Ethiopia is forecast to maintain its position as Eastern Africa’s largest economy over the medium term — a position that is also expected to improve its standing as an investment destination

Oooh yaaah. Am very happy for Ethiopia. That country has what it takes to be among Africa's largest economies.

Take it easy, we dint claim ours is a first world country, our country still has lots of challenges typical of any developing country. But we are also not amongst the worst there are countries out there with the worst problems.

So, what are u going to reveal tommorrow the moment u get to your "system"? That Kenya is like Afgganistan or that people live in trees? Cmon. Let it rest.
We have already learnt a great deal about our countries. That both Nigeria and Kenya are great African countries, though experiencing some challenges here and there.
hmmm... I heard you bro, some of your countrymen here make very annoying comments which can make one tempted to fire back, the tsayemahiri of a dude is cool one time, the next moment he throws tantrums, I promise not to post anything unless occasion calls for it.

The British never colonized the coast. Swahilis were still under the sultan of Zanzibar during the time other Kenyans were busy building the British empire. The British didn't want to have any troubles with the Sultan and their Omani allies.

I have to pity the Afro Arabs.
