Fulani means a person of unknown origin, I wonder if Swahilis came across them.

freshest4live:

No they are not. Maybe 1%.

Muafrika2:

I wonder why people think that when people migrate to another place, then they're automatically economic refugee, which is not the case....

Muafrika2:

Muafrika2:

This is when you will know things like :
colorful supermarket plastic bags,
deep fried chicken,
a functional water reticulation system(all major towns in Kenya have a water company ),
affordable and super fast internet (faster than Germany! ),
above average electricity availability (admittedly, we need to work on the quality),
a peaceful and peacefully inclined population,
milk in tetra packs,
sliced bread in shiny wrappers,
$2 cheap alcohol sold at the street corner,
flashy and noisy but still overally peaceful electioneering and political culture with a zillion parties,
a vibrant media well watched across the continent,
a functioning and well patronised national airline(errrrm, minus the dubious Naikuni types ),
cute ladies,
cute men,
digital and computer literacy from day 1 in elementary school,
a comparative absence of violent and numbing armed robbery,
.........i will bore you if i went on and on and on like an Energizer Bunny on fresh batteries .......


These things don't exist in many African countries. Gentlemen and ladies, i have been to at least 8 African nations for a considerable period of time to say that, don't take anything in life for granted! Why would somebori not want to come to Kenya? You just go to the destination board at MMIA, you look at the destinations on offer, and choose an easy one like Nairobi!

For your information there are 4 million Nigerians in Cameroon, they are all over the place in countries worse than Nigeria so l dunno why you Kenyans should feel so big.

cant u take a simple joke?

i'm not sure we have up to 4m Nigerians in Cameroon BTW....or is it because of Nigerians living in bakkassi peninsula?

................ i'm just laughing, does any Nigerian city has a different meaning in Swahili abi na Kiswahili?

Nope. You are good. But tgose Ghanaian words though.

But Kumawood is just too much.

shervydman:

I wonder, the guy is so myopic.

shervydman:


tell him.....

He's just fascinated by that reality

Have mercy Kenyanstar

shervydman:

Lol, l'm also joking na, if he jokes l joke.

Hbuyosh:




Okay, this is the joke we kenyans were sharing here.....

That the east African media would find it awkward mentioning Kumawood, given what those two words mean here.

The first word is a very vulgar Swahili word for the female' organ, while the "wood" is slang for a male organ.

Now if u combine the two.....too many would find that word extremely revolting.

hehehehe, a Ghanaian wouldn't understand! A Swahili speaker would instantly. A Ghanaian friend who once came to Kenya asked me what " thank you " in Swahili was. When i told him it was "Asante", he was even more flabbergasted. If you know Ghana well, that is the name of a tribe there and he was from the Ewe tribe who apparently have some beef with them. I told him he could use the alternative "shukran".
Another nairalander here called MtuFulani blasted Nigeria's Olympics misadventures very nastily, and most folks didn't know what his moniker means, they thought he was a fulani herdsman. I took inspiration from him to form my name since I like the comic superhero Superman.

African names and how they sound funny in another African language!

shervydman:


................ i'm just laughing, does any Nigerian city has a different meaning in Swahili abi na Kiswahili?

Enugu means baboon in various Bantu languages including Kikuyu. Warri sounds like a Tanzanian saying Wali (Tanzanians when speaking Swahili replace l with r, I've never known why). Wali is the Swahili word for cooked rice. Gombe is the gigantic word for cow in Swahili. It means a really big cow. Sokoto is the word for twined. Kano means a small toe in various Bantu languages including Luhya.
Generally Nigerian city names would sound heavy funny to Swahili speakers - like trying to explain how a huge tanker rolled down a hill - like Maiduguri, Ogbomosho, Ogun, Abeokuta, Ibadan, Katsina, Kaduna etc.
Those are all I can tell.
