genieluv: Since majority Ethiopians live in rural areas, there's lil amount of people who are fluent in English. In my calculation, not more than 20% |

TayserMahiri:Your effort at whitewashing is weak,man.Your people also call Nigerians ugly and all kinds of things.You here is well known for that.How can an African call another African ugly and feel good with himself?Many of us have cautioned the nigerians here but I'm yet to see a kenyan do that to another kenyan.That one you quoted is one of those who shade Nigeria on social media just like the rat who started this thread.Given the chance they would even team up with bharam against Nigeria.It's up to you to be taken in by their rhetorics. |

genieluv: You have to look at Swahili people like Dominicans, a group of people who are a mixture of Africans, Natives & Europeans. Some Dominicans identify with their African roots whilst others identify more with their European or native roots but at the end of the day they're all Dominicans. So, let's take Mombasa for example, you have the Twelve Tribes (Native Swahilis), Swahilized Africans & Swahilized Arabs. Naturally the Arab Swahili will identify more with Arabia then a Swahili Pokomo-Kenyan but they're both Swahili connected by their mother tongue language, culture and beliefs. That was the simple lazy breakdown but the Swahili coast is a little more intricate than that. I'm a Swahili from Tanzania and what I have noticed is the Kenyan Swahilis have a more well defined Swahili identity than the Tanzanian ones, I think they might be more Arabized as well but I'm rambling ![]() |

Nabhani:Yeah, it's good though, the Kenyans seem to be more passionate about Swahili than other east africans here.Why do you think this is the case and how popular is Swahili in Tanzania? |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Nabhani: 12:21pm On Jun 20, 2017 |
freshest4live: Hahaha KENYANS KNOW who really rep this Swahili ting in East Africa but I meant the Kenyan Swahilis (Ethnic Group) have more a sense of identity than Tanzanian Swahili people. |

Hati13: ![]() No. According to history, Kenya comes from the name of the Mountain Kenya which the British explorers were told was the name of the Mountain. They were told the name by a Kamba chief who mispronounced the Kikuyu name, "Kirinyaga," translated to "the mountain of God." The white settlers lived in the most fertile(which they called the "white islands" lands after moving indigenous communities like Kalenjins, Maasai, Kikuyu's, Luhyas (its the reason why there are Maasais in Tanzania today. They left, out of fear of Kenyatta who talked in a manner to suggest they were not welcome, although in fact, he said, " all British who consider themselves Kenyan are welcome to stay,.." Most left. Afew countable ones remained like Lord Delamere whose massive land and business in Naivasha has recently been acquired by our current president. The rest of the land was bought by the government who sold it to mostly land buying cooperative unions or companies. Of course knowledge was limited to afew elites who took advantage. Its the major cause of current land issues amongst tribes in Kenya today. |

genieluv: You've made us believe you have an Obsession with light skin the way you say Kenyans are ugly because they're dark skinned for instance (as if you know anything about Kenyans) and pride in Nigeria for supposedly having the lightest skinned Africans in SSA lol. By the way, do you realize you only post dark skinned women when you're trying to prove you guys are not obsessed with light skin? 3 Likes |

obaaderemi:There are also some musics and documentaries that were broadcasted. I've seen it, but they are very very very............few. Ethiopia cultures, wildlife and natural landscapes should definitely be documented and seen on international channels like National Geography, NatioWild and History channels. Ethiopia has more great things than anyone even Ethiopians themselves think. |

Muafrika2: Like i said it's not as black and white as some make it out to be. For example, you can have Coastarian with both Native Swahili and Arab ancestry, is that person Arab or Swahili? it will solely depend on how they identify. There are Arab-Arabs and there are Swahili-Arabs the latter speak Swahili as their mother tongue & practice Swahili culture, those are swahilis by way of culture and language but Arabs by way of ancestry. Nigerians that ride with Tanzanians, when you are in TZ let me know, I GOT YOU! ![]() |

Muafrika2:Do your current president involve more on business, since you told me he own huge chunks of fertile land? How percentage of Kenya population is farmer? Is land is permanently sold or leased in Kenya? |

Hati13:But you people seem to have so much bile for the Eritreans and they really see Ethiopians as very arrogant and imperial,like your greatest wish is to swallow them up or see them fail.Even many somalians have same attitude towards Ethiopians.There was an Ethiopian who stereotyped Eritreans as exceptions to the human race.We know the racial arrogance thing is inherent in human nature,don't let anyone massage your ego.BTW, I met an Eritrean graduating student at the UCH,Ibadan last Thursday who looked no different from an Ethiopian.How do you tell yourselves apart besides language? |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Nabhani: 1:09pm On Jun 20, 2017 |

Hati13:He's a billionaire business man with interests in horticulture, dairy, banking, real estate, etc All Bantus(who make the majority) are farmers by tradition. It should be around 70%, But lately, other communities are learning and venturing into farming. Land in the rural areas is permanent ownership (freehold tenure). Also communally owned in some other areas where land subdivision has not happened and land is used as in the precolonial days. Leaseholds are mostly in the urban centres with regard to land owned by government or individuals who chose to lease or sublease. Foreigners can only lease# |

Jay254:Yes The periodization of Ethiopia history is different from other African countries because of not being colonized. Other African countries history is classified as pre colonization, colonization and post colonization. Do you also classify your history like this in your history book even if you aren't that much in history? |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Nobody: 1:14pm On Jun 20, 2017 |
Nabhani:Cool. That's understandable. |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Nabhani: 1:16pm On Jun 20, 2017 |
NairobiWalker: It's hard to define Swahili people sometimes even Swahilis themselves don't know what they want to be. They started of as Africans (Bantus whatever) but after all this heavy cultural and ethnic mixing which lets be clear happened mostly in the last 300 years or so, they have become 1/2 Africa 1/2 Indian Ocean. |
