Well said,

TayserMahiri:


Our sister Nowe was waiting for such an opportunity to trash talk Nairobi. I knew you were always lurking sister

Hahaha, so u are now crushing on me? Am i that that handsome? Well, i'm not available for your homosexual desires, laissez-moi seulement. Am already taken by a special lady >>>>>>>>> genieluv

genieluv:


Heeey kwana biyu, ya kake?

>>>>Hmm, that's terrible. Rural poverty is really the cause of all these slums in 3rd world nations. <<<<

Ina nan fa. Saidai ina ta fama da wa'insu abubuwa.

You r correct. 'Rural poverty'

genieluv:


yaaah, Why don't we just agree that we all have strengths n weaknesses? I'm sorry 2say buh i think u Kenyans r very proud people.
We Nigerians seem to easily admit our weaknesses n inadequacies at times buh i hardly see that from Kenyans here. Why is it?

**** I have also hardly seen or heard about Nigerian-Kenyan bilateral relationships****
East African n West africa, we seem somehow economically distant from each other, dont u think?

We have never refused that we have slums but the exaggaration you guys use is what we refute.saying Kibera has 2m pple while in actual fact it less than 200k.

We have also admited we are very tribal

TayserMahiri:


Building houses for the poor is never the right solution unless you grow the economy fast and equally. As long as there are poor people, slums will be there, no matter how many times you destroy them. I'm especially not a fan of demolishing slums. Such an inhumane act

Holly Slums r illegal settlements on most occasions, so their demolition is quite justifiable.
I think tackling rural poverty is the best solution to slums

genieluv:


lol I was following the debate. I think he did.
Apart from Nairobi CBD, which other districts of the city has sky scrappers?

Did you see more Cities and towns in Kenya apart from Mombasa and Nairobi

Nowenuse:


Hahaha, so u are now crushing on me? Am i that that handsome? Well, i'm not available for your homosexual desires, laissez-moi seulement. Am already taken by a special lady >>>>>>>>> genieluv

You n TayserMahiri r crazy

***Seems like u speak french pretty well?

genieluv:


beeee, I know, i saw some mass lowcost housing projects in Nairobi when reading about their slums, buh how far do u think they would go?
Slums r very difficult to completely get rid of, dontcha think? Look at Makoko, i heard most of it was demolished, buh did it really work? Seems like it was rebuilt.
Over here in Abuja, despite the demolition of many developing shanty settlements, many new ones r still developing simultaneously n if care is not taken, Abuja will have full blown large slums like Nairobi.

Abuja can never have full blown slums.....I don't think that can happen, well, maybe outskirt of the city; anyway. mehn, that makoko is home to fishermen that have nowhere to go, u pursue them, they come back...though, its getting better every day by day.

genieluv:


Holly With all these beautiful n numerous sky scrappers am seeing in your Nairobi pictures, how come forgiveness was still able to disprove Nairobi having more sky scrappers than Lagos? Or are u just posting different views of same Nairobi sky scrappers?

Nairobi is actually developed and beautiful than Lagos........... I've done a research on that.

We all have strengths and weaknesses. I'm not sure Kenyans are proud, we just don't entertain someone trying to misrepresent us and write our story. CNN know better. They had to apologize after attempting to portray Kenya as a hot bed of terror, while the truth is quite the opposite. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/aug/14/cnn-kenya-apologise-obama

The reality is that most Nigerians have been driving the narrative that Kenya is a slum country with little else. In fact, when (and the reason) I joined this thread, one thing I curiously observed was the way Nigerians were talking hard about the slum issue and maintaining that Kenyans should not share any of their nice places and achievements for the simple reason that we have slums. Kenyans cannot take a one sided story anymore. Not when the slum issue (and lie) has been the favorite story for decades. We are now an emerging economy with great prospects and vision for our country. We cannot allow the same narrative of negativity to be driven through the world media (including in places like nairaland). No, not at all. Those kinds of stories can condemn you to oblivion in many ways. For instance, if Nairobi was portrayed like a slum city, Multinational firms would not consider investing there. The same is the case if the narrative is terror, starving etc. I think Africa as a whole should make a collective effort of ridding its bad image as it continues to tackle its problems.

They are illegal but when you allow people to settle for decades then you cannot wake up one night and demolish people's homes! I wish you could follow some of the Kenyan court cases. The government loses almost all the time when it wants to destroy them.

Guys am not sure if it's Nairaland or what?? The number of Nigerian in the City has really grown... Places like Roysa, Doni,Pipu,Rwaka,Kile is full of Nigerians.. Am not sure what is happening..

Hbuyosh:



Whoopsy!!!

No, it is not what u are thinking, I havent desparaged your movie industry in any way. It is just fine. It is something else, regarding the name that we are discussing here.

No need to get emotional.



But hey, Kenyans have no reason whatsoever to be scared of Ghana, should there be a fight, we are packing more than enuff amo.


But there is no need for online war btwn us.

oga, don't do an e-war between Kenya and Ghana on a Nigerian forum o, we don't joke with our Ghanaian neighbors o.
or do u want them to send 5m Nigerians packing?

TayserMahiri:


Quite surprising, I read somewhere that the former was a tyrant in his own right. Funny enough, I never heard of Yar Adua, in fact I thought Goodluck was the immediate successor of OBJ. What was Goodluck good for?

Who do u mean was a tyrant? Obj? If him, then yes. If others? Then no.

~~Yaaah, Yar'adua ruled only 2 years b4 he died~~

Goodluck was known for development.

He initiated the idea of the industrialization of Nigeria.
He initiated the revival of our dying agricultural sector
He initiated the construction of the world class centenary city Abuja.

He heavily invested in the railway sector, you can see the effects today.

He heavily invested in education for the educationally backward and disadvantaged core-northern Nigeria.

He created 9 new federal universities, thereby ensuring every Nigerian state has a federal university.

He was a man of dialogue n peaceful resolution of conflicts. He set up a National conference for all Nigerians n aggrived sections of the federation to sit n discuss their problems n grievances n chart a way forward by proferring solutions (u can imagine that! Only few african presidents have ever done such).

Many other things i can't list.

Maybe my fellow compatriots can add 2d list
Cc nowenuse, uzzyfire, arinzeejikonye, shervydman, iblawi, forgiveness n others.

u made a whole lot of sense here......

I THINK SOMEONE HAS MPD HERE....................

Don't mind TayserMahiri, he has confessed that he is always looking out for me why should he?

Even if i was gay, i would have rejected him, Nigerian gays should have some taste too at least a genetically ugly Kenyan would never be an option.

Oui, je parle la langue française tres bien. Tu parles? (yes i speak the french language quite well. Do you?)

Then Goodluck was a competitive president. From the outset, he seemed like Tanzania's Kikwete; nice guy with a good heart but does nothing for the economy. Good to see what he did. For the last part, I think your looking for trouble I realized Nigerians are like Kenyans in many ways when it comes to rating their former leaders.

I always make sense

Lol, Kenyans please don't offend the Ghanians, they are helping us feed 5million Nigerians. If they get angry and then deport them, we would send them over to Kenya.

Kk. U are correct.
When i joined this thread, i also decided to read some pages aback n also discovered than Kenyans, South africans n even Ghanians ridiculed Nigeria here too.
I guess none of us r saints.

>>>How did u come to know about nairaland if i may ask? cos am amazed with d number of Kenyans here. I never knew there were so many foreigners here<<<

TayserMahiri:


The last time I heard was that NNPC wanted to sell 51 % stake to investors but had problems finding suitors to buy the often bombed facilities.

don't worry about whatever u hear........... the Nigerian govt is in charge of the Nigerian refineries.

This is the only time you have ever made sense.Kudos.If you are going to demolish people's homes,provide alternatives.

Let me add.

I think under Goodluck, our naira and economy was much more stable

GEJ also started the building of the 3,500 mw mambilla hydro-electric power dam.

He also constructed and repaired some major highways.

what we people don't know is that whenever a huge project is executed, it may not be the president/leader that initiated the project.... he may just finish it off, then people will shout heaven n earth.

the centenary city was actually conceived during his tenure to commemorate the amalgamation in 2014.
those rail-line was conceived by obasanjo in 2007 but couldn't initiate it before yar a'dua came later the same year and started off the course obasanjo laid.
industrialization is not a thing that comes simultaneously............it comes at different time, and that cant be attributed to only one person.

though, he did his own part like the steadiness of pms among others.
all of them are just work-in-progress!

You may need to look through the first few pages. Nigerians started the ridicule.
I came across nairaland through another kenyan site where guys were discussing another thread on nairobi.
