Keep off the Lewa, with our running prowess you'll be left behind with the wild lions.

Do you know that your countryman had burned 6 Ethiopians to alive in 2015 xenophobic killings?
There was also others Ethiopians where their properties were destroyed.

Are you serious?Imagine those lazy arse madhatters killing fellow Africans while excusing the wicked white boers who actually treat them like dogs.Shame.

Muafrika2:

I think he's referring to these...
1. The GDP should have been triple
2. Oil discoery has raised the GDP -
3. Inflation has reversed gains made by a higher GDP

The floor is yours,

1. The GDP should have been triple - of course it should. Rampant looting and negligence that saw several local industries close shop or brought to their knees (sugar industry for instance) while others moved to other countries (e.g Sameer to India) while we saw former petty politicians like Duale who barely owned anything other than their MP salary become billionaires plus a host of other scandals prevented this.

2. Oil discovery came with lots of speculation and more investments came in creating a multiplier effect that played it's part on the GDP. Go to Turkana county and see what's happening their. Remember the Chinese who considered Tanzania their biggest E African ally moved to Kenya after the oil discoveries. Avic is setting up a mega headquarter in Westlands now. Lappset - the largest project in Africa currently is happening because of the oil discovery.

3. See - Kenya's GDP was $55 billion in 2013 after rebasing. Contrary to Kikuyu1's assertions, it never doubled unless you consider the 2013 figure before rebasing. The population of Kenya is said to have increased by around 5M over the same period. This translates to a GDP per capita rise of just about 20%. (from around $1370 to $1666). Meanwhile see the prices of some basic commodities over the same period.

1. Bread - KES 40 - KES 50 (20% increase)
2. Kilo of beef - KES 240 - KES 450 (87% increase)
3. Maize flour 2KG - KES 90 - KES 160 (78% increase)
4. 500ml milk - KES 30 - KES 60 (100% increase)
5. Electricity token - KES 12 - KES 18 (50% increase)
6. Sugar 1kg - KES 100 - KES 240 (140% increase)


Those are just a few examples of the most important products in the country - and before I forget, the national debt rose the fastest during those 5 years. Now tell me with a straight face if the gains in GDP within the last 5 years has really improved the living standards the ordinary Kenyan other than the corrupt tenderprenuer. You don't want us to be like the Nigerians who take pride in GDP figures while the ordinary mwananchi can barely afford basic needs.

chaii...... i'm just joking o, Lewa ke? even when the Kenyans came for Lagos marathon and obudu mountain race here in Nigeria; they're always the winner. I salute them for that. I don't want to be left alone with lions in the wild too, even Daniel wouldn't do that again.

Yeah and it says in parts of Southafrica, ritual killings are not even reported and are culturally accepted, yet these are thesame people who think they can judge others.

south africa is internationally known as the ritual capital of the world, No contest.

If you want to bust their bubble just ask them about "muti murder/killing".

Sameer moved? That's bad. Are our Indian investors feeling threatened or sth?

Worse, there were 2 SA policies and they just stood, watch the killings and were normally talking to each other.

Human cruelness at it best.

Muafrika2:

Not just sameer. Several manufacturers closed shop. Remember NSE performed the poorest in the past 4 years......Jimnah Mbaru has been complaining about that for ages now. Remember he just turned from being a Jubilee supporter to a critic. This regime might have seen Kenya undergo the biggest infrastructural developments since Independence but it only benefited strategic tenderprenuers. Most other Kenyans lost.

There are always bad ppl in every society, but those Zulus deeds that periods were very very very.........savage.

Its something that is expected, considering they suffer more than a century long of slavery in their own country, but that doesnt making it any less mind bloggering.

Their problem was compounded by their laziness and their government introduction of too much citizen welfare. Sector such as education, defence, health have been starved on funds just so little fat lazy SAn could have more money to spend.

And yet they are still conducting Mass Protest saying it is not enough. IMAGINE.

There was a post i read from a full grown mature SAn saying he expect his government to buy him a car. CRAZINESS.

This is beautiful, we know that the Coastal swahili, some Nilotic and Cushitic minorities in Kenya try their best to promote their cultures, but they are in a minority in Kenya!
What happened to other major ethnic groups like the Kikuyu, Luhya, Luo, Kalenjin and others?

In Nigeria, we have hundreds of ethnic groups and i can show you the advanced traditional attires and annual traditional festivals of each of these ethnic groups, one after the other.

We have developed cultures from our ancestral cultures unique to all Nigerians which no single ethnic groups in Nigeria can lay claim over.

Apart from that, you find our cultures in almost everything we do, from our music to our movies to news broadcasting, to parliamentary sittings, to international conferences, to our churches, to almost everything. Heck we still have our traditional rulers, kings, kingdoms in tact.

If the traditional attires most of Nigeria wears was adopted post world war II then its not advanced, culture works the other way around, for example, some of ethiopian cultures were pretty advanced long time ago....

Cultures exists very much in Kenya, maybe not as much as some would like but every society is different, just because you do it in a certain way doesnt mean its the only way... For example, The founding father of Tanzania promoted unity of language, as a result, Tanzanian did away with 80% of indeginous language and traditional cultures in favor of Swahili..... Tanzania is as African as Africa can get. Today Tanzania is one of the most peaceful countries in Africa... While countries like Nigeria and Kenya still fight along ethnic and tribal lines........


It is a misconception that large ethnic groups don't promote their cultures, the minority ethnic tribes work extra hard to promote their cultures because they see the big tribes already dominating in every aspect of art,music and culture...So the minority groups take promoting their cultures extra serious, some tribes in Kenya are too small they are on the verge of going extinct!
In the big cities the main ethnic tribes usually have annual music and food festivals like Luo night(ohangla music), Mughithi for Kikuyus, I have forgoten the nake for kalenjin, there is also Mulembe night for Kambas... and many more...
Anyway


Here is a Kikuyu traditional wedding attire
