rvp20183: You cannot call an entire community a slum unless of course every part of it is a slum. That would be ignorance on rampage. |

Jonraid: Many parts of Abeokuta may look like a slum but they're still not slums like those of Kenya. They're just a bunch of old tightly packed houses. |

NairobiWalker: There's a slum in Abuja, okay, what is the name, Mpape, then I show a huge part of Mpape that is not even close to a slum, what then does that make you? Smart I guess. ***** Besides, why haven't you shown the slums called Durumi, Mabushi et al ?.....You listed many slums in Abuja.... I guess you worked so hard to find slummish looking parts but were bitterly frustrated at the fruitlesness 4 Likes 3 Shares |

NairobiWalker: Spanish was once a corruption of Latin but it diverged into an entirely different language with time. **** Can you list dozens of nouns and verbs in your Kenyan english which have purely non-english origin? ••••• I can list more than a hundred nouns and verbs in Nigerian pidgin which have absolutely no meaning in English language.

NairobiWalker: Do the same for Durumi, Mabushi and other areas you called slums in Abuja, or what's so special about Mpape that you choose it and it alone amongst all the slums you listed? Smh. |

genieluv: Swahili is a Bantu language, originally known as Ngozi then after borrowing heavily from Arabic became known as Swahili. The Arabs who settled at the East African coast intermarried with bantus to give forth a range of tribes depending on which Arab tribe intermarried with which Bantu tribe. These range of tribes are practically the real Swahilis if the definition of Swahili is to go by but they're very few. However, natives of the East African coast (e.g, Mijikenda, Pokomo etc in Kenya and Zaramo in Tanzania) are colloquially referred to as Swahilis by the interior people same way the Southerners call you Hausas. The reason I say there's no clear definition of Swahili is because even those 'real' Swahilis will still refer to themselves by other names such as Bajuni or Shirazi. |

genieluv: They're slums too, I checked......and as much as they may not be as bad as some parts of Kibera such as Silanga and Gatwekera, they are worse than other parts of Kibera such as Olympic and definitely worse than other Kenyan slums such as Kawangware and Kangemi. |

forgiveness: Wow, didn't see this comment. **** So true. During the days of Old Benue-Plateau, Jos developed so well and the governor then James Gomwalk had so much in mind and achieved much. Benue people felt so far from the capital and seat of government, hence the need to agitate for our own state. •••• I believe we would definitely had achieved more if we were still together. |

genieluv: I just went for the first one and found out the truth. You guys will argue over obvious things, just like forgiveness argues over non-existent buildings. Even when something is clear, you still argue. I'll bring you Durumi and Mabushi slums and you'll still find something to argue over. |

Today, I went to island as I promised though for another purpose. However, I managed to search for the ministry of communications house. The first place I went to was NECOM house. I asked the security guard I was looking for Communication building but the guy told me that was not the place. . Now, I have it at the back of my mind that Communication building is different from NECOM house hence the search began. My guy, the communication building I saw was not more than 7 storeys. However, I noticed most of the buildings have changed names from what they were called previously. Probably, they must have had tenants or landlord. Anyway, I don't know the actual name that Communication building is called presently. Therefore, it could be hard to locate but until then, I will strike it out from the list of skycrappers Nigeria has. So that our lousy neighbors can dream of having a chance to surpass us in numbers of Skyscrapper built. Pictures I snapped on my way to NECOM. Beautiful. 6 Likes 3 Shares

NairobiWalker: You're now telling me about better parts of Kibera whereas we clearly differentiated Kibera community and Kibera constituency for what they were. ~~~~ I just did a google map street view of Kawangware and Kangemi. True, they are not as bad as Kibera. However, have it in mind that no Kenyan slums can match Nigerian slum parts because I discovered that most housing structures in Kenyan slums are built with Iron sheets and polythene bags while those of Nigeria are mostly well built concrete houses with a solidly dug foundation. The differences are huge. |

NairobiWalker: I went through the wikipedia definition of Kenyan english and it is very very shallow. All you do is replace some english words with the native names of things in kenya. **** Even Americans, Australians, Indians and pretty much everyone else have their own English with unique words... However, as long as you can speak english you can pretty much understand what is being said. I can write a long sentence in Nigerian pidgin and no non speaker can make any sense out of it. *** You on the other hand cannot make a long sentence in your Kenyan english which I cannot make sense of. That tells you that Kenyan English is still English language just as American english is still English language. Naija brokin on the other hand is now becoming a different language. >>>> If you doubt. Give it a try. Make a long sentence in Kenyan english which no Nigerian can understand. I dare you! |

NairobiWalker: Can you even hear yourself? There is a slum called Kibera and not all of it is a slum? Gosh! Is English the problem here? Why call it a slum in the first place when not all of it is a slum? *** It's just like saying Kenya is a desert when only parts of Kenya are arid. ••••• Use your English well. If you are talking about Kibera constituency, talk about it. If you are talking of Kibera community (slum), talk about it. Don't use both interchangeably. 1 Like 1 Share |
