JaceBlaze:
Ednited,your friend,just like many Ethiopians is suffering from what we call Identify Crisis,she thought she was not black enough to play with other black kids and chose to play with a "handsome white kid" LOL it was a rude awakening on her side that the "handsome white kid" LOL put her in the same category with the average black African so her dreams of feeling completely white just for one day were crushed .Just tell her that next time she visits SA she should give Jaceblaze a call so we can hang out and tell her to leave "the handsome white kid" alone,it's obvious that the kid doesn't wanna play with her because he thinks she is inferior,and to be honest with you,she deserved it.I DON'T PITTY FOOLS.


On a serious note:Whites and Blacks don't live separately in SA,everybody who can afford to live in the suburbs can live there without anyone abusing them,unless you speaking about pre 1994 South Africa,hell even back then there were many blacks who lived along whites and even went to expensive schools with them.And I hear you complaining about black not getting what they deserve? and what is that exactly? In the morden day South Africa where each and every citizen is afforded equal opportunities to learn through free basic education and where financial aid schemes have been put in place for university students who were not born with a silver spoon,there can be no excuse for not succeeding.This is life,no one in 2019 is going to use the colour of their skin as a qualification to get freebees,it doesn't work like that my Ethiopian friend.That mentality is holding Africans backward.

You see, this is what I am tired of. You are using the racism card on all Ethiopians. You just said that she played with a handsome white kid beacuse she don't consider herself black. At first, you don't know her and secondly because you met 6 Ethiopians who are racist. . . You can't say 100 million of us are.


As South African, you have your own tradition and you have been raised with it. You will be mistaken doing the same thing you do in your country doing it some where else. In Ethiopia, we even kiss the kids we don't know and keep them safe. They needn't be our kids. Old people kisses other people kids and bless them. This is because our society don't have any bad to think. She was wrong that she was trying to apply same thing in South African community.

I never said that Blacks are forced to live in slums. I just asked why both aren't living the same way. If you guys have no issue, I am very happy for you. I won't open this issue again.

But please stop thinking all of us as 1. For example, the lady I was talking to just mentioned that we annoy her. Especially the Ethiopian ladies. Just before she try answering my question, she is going to want to attack because she thinks I am racist too. I am glad of what I look but it doesn't stop me from admiring natural African beauty beacuse me looking like an Ethiopian also makes me look African. Because Ethiopian is African.


Your guys kept telling me to stay out of buisness and mind mine. I have seen south Africans saying that we better feed our people before we build such an airline. I don't remember acting like the previous lady to them.


Africa has issues more than the population it has. All of us are starving but we keep pointing fingers. We aren't ready to hear the ugly truth and change. Then how would Africa grow??

At least you are little calm talking to me.Thanks

Yo Runalong333, I don't have all day. Come outside and fight like a man.

NairobiWalker:


Somebody once came with that argument here before. I listed him all Kenyan complete skyscrapers, they were 10 and all owned by Kenya with foreigners having a few stakes in Britam, UAP and LeMac. They had only 6 complete skyscrapers and one of them 100% foreign owned with foreigners having stakes in another. Most of their skyscrapers under construction are either foreign owned or majority foreign owned yet they keep coming here for the same argument. The Tanzanian brothers, their government did what our government did in late 60s and 70s - build government owned towers. Now most of the new towers in Dar lack occupancy and since 2015, no new skyscraper has broken grown. All the new skyscrapers are already topped out now. Trust me, that skyline is going to remain unchanged for a very long time.

I never knew tz skyscrapers were owned by they govt
And that is why they will remain empty forever .

rvp2018:
Precisely. They are just in 1970s - where Gov is investing in grandiose projects instead of building roads, funding health, education and providing gov services. Instead of expanding the Dar Port - they forced the port operator to build two empty towers . Why would a port need two 34 towers tall towers? They need to dredge the port, buy cranes and such kind of stuff - no invest in real estate.

The 3 towers are still unoccupied yet they've topped out 5 more already. Currently they have 11 skyscrapers topped out and that;s all they got, nothing is breaking ground now and nothing is going to for a very long time.

for those who say that afrobeats s prosperity s cause of Nigeria s population.
can you explain what Chinese and Indian songs were doing when afrobeats became the 2nd most popular genre in the world

Runalong333:


So South Africans can't think for themselves? . Those stupid people need an Ethiopian hero to help them think right? .

No, they need a hero like you who tries to throw them to a battle field.

There are 54 African countries. . . You have lost around five of them. 49 to go. . . .

Or you could just create other 5 fake accounts and make your game work. That is the only capacity of brilliance your brain allows you

rvp2018:
You sound like xenophobic xhosa man with his machete. Honestly I doubt many kenyans are emigrating to your crime-infested and zero-growth country. Why would I want to immigrate to South Africa. The economy is under recession. East Africa economies are booming. I will probably move to Ethiopia first - I need to go there and buy their corn/maize - but South Africa - is only interesting for countries with more issues like Nigeria or Zimbwabwe - and our lazy neighbours Tanzania who knows how to smooch your welfare systems.

The only poor kenyans I know in South Africa - are few kikuyus in curios business - nothing more than that. And then students in your universities.

Nobody cares if you greasy sticks don't come here. I personally couldn't care less about which countries you prefer. You keep your knobby knees out of South Africa if that's the shìtty attitude we're gonna have to deal with.

gallivant:
Yo Runalong333, I don't have all day. Come outside and fight like a man.

He can't fight. The best he can do is tag South Africans so if you aren't provoking South Africans enough, he definitely won't think of anything to say to you.

rvp2018:
That is true. When edinited hears that - she doesn't go into a fit. She readily admits her country ills and distance herself personally.

That's her prerogative.

w1234:
Britam kenya is owned by Kenyans What about chevron Nigeria Who are the owners

never heard of multinational corporations gosh u are really something

w1234:

I never knew tz skyscrapers were owned by they govt
And that is why they will remain empty forever .

Yes, the government built them because Nairobi had skyscrapers and they wanted to compete. Now most of them are empty ghost towns. The average Tanzanian can't afford them and no multinational corporation is setting shop in Dar to want to rent them.

FACEBOOK TO OPEN CONTENT REVIEW CENTRE IN NAIROBI


The centre is expected to employ to 100 reviewers by the end of the year that will support a number of languages, including Somali, Oromo, Swahili and Hausa.



Facebook’s Public Policy Director Africa Ebele Okobi says this is part of the firm’s continued investment across sub-Saharan Africa and commitment to safety and security on its platform.

The centre is in partnership with Samasource – one of the largest digital employers in East Africa and a leading social enterprise.

“This further highlights our commitment to serving the community of people using our platforms across Africa, as well as our commitment to continuing to invest and partner locally across the continent. I am delighted that through our partnership with Samasource we will be opening our first content review centre here in Africa,” Okobi said.

Fazdai Madzingira, Public Policy Associate for content said over the years, Facebook has made significant investments globally, and locally in ensuring that people see the content they want to see, and are aware of what is and isn’t allowed on the platform.

“We want Facebook to be a place where people can express themselves and freely discuss different points of view, whilst ensuring that it remains safe for everyone,” Madzingira added.

Carolyn Komen, Samasource Program Director said the partnership with Facebook in Nairobi will help keep Facebook safe.

“We use technology and private sector methods to measurably improve access to work and job training. Our team will receive extensive training and support, benefit from industry-leading facilities, and have the opportunity to advance their careers in tech through this partnership.”

They should entice Uganda with one tower, Rwanda with another and Burundi another - so hopefully Dar port can start doing half what Mombasa does - despite Tanzania neighboring like 10 landlocked countries.

Nairobi the now the no-brainer the HQ of Africa. But I think we need to relax work permits. But maybe we don't need them bringing foreigners when Kenyans can hack the job. I know Rwanda's Kigali getting some limited action.

Kenya used to do that in the moi era

rvp2018:
You see this is how the cookie crumbled. Tanzania's Nyerere nationalized or attempted to nationalized foreign companies in his communist quest of Ujamaa - the private sector basically overnight disappeared - or thriving companies soon became moribund as parastals.

Tanzania went bankrupt exactly 20yrs later. Nyerere resigned and got into his bicycle - the only earthly possession he had and admitted he had failed.

Now kenya went the opposite direction. We built local capacity first. And when blacks were ready - we asked foreign companies to localize ownership. Kenya gov ordered foreign companies in 1980s to sell 1/3 of it's shareholding to kenya.British-American in 1984s sold 33% of it shareholding to Local black shareholders. Slowly local black shareholding has increased to now nearly 90% - majority owned by black kenyans. And eventually the Britam parent company completely dissociated with local company - the named got changed from British-American to Britam.

Britam Kenya - then expanded to Tanzania (after you learnt the bitter lessons), Uganda, South Sudan, Rwanda,Malawi, and Mozambique.

That story is replicated in many kenya companies. Kenyans studiously understudying the British and American coorporates - taking over -and expanding.

Now Kenya companies are building skyscrappers, hotels, investing abroad and name it - and paying taxes. It called PRIVATE SECTOR.Now Tanzanaia - poor Tanzania - you gov still has to build Skyscrappers - instead of funding health or education. Kenya was there in 1970s..

We keep telling you again and again - We are SMART. YOURE STUPID. Like Nigerians.



Kenyatta, Moi, Kibaki, Uhuru and all kenya political & civil elite all retire as billionaires. The country creates as many millionaires as oil rich nigeria or gold rich South Africa.

Now Magufuli is back - to Nyererizing Tanzania and the outcome is well know. BANKRUPTCY.

Stupid kiberan!

Capitalism isn't the answer of all mankind problems.Yes,capitalism have done something in USA and western Europe but not in Kenya! Your type of capitalism is unknown in this world.Most of your economy is under Europeans while the capitalism which is in america is the opposite of what we see in Kenya.Most of Americans assets and big companies are under americans! Think of Ford,coca cola,apple,Microsoft, etc all are owned by Americans!

Back to kibera republic...
Most of your economy is under few foreigners! Most of the Kenyans are marginalized.They were forsaken in Turkana and other parts of Kenya.What you did was failing to copy Americans. You should do what they did...to own your economy! The results are clearer.
Starvation is killing your own.Today you are flocking to TZ for employment, you're killing yourself for water! Tribalism is killing many in Kenya.You are failing to pay your doctors. You came to TZ to learn agriculture, sewage management, fighting terrorism, banking and so forth!

Are you still be proud of your policies? Policies which made you to starve because you gave away all of your fertile land to whites? Are you happy to see most of your country is dark as a hole? Anyway, Are you still ranked as a failed state?

Jaqenhghar:

I can understand the white man hating black people and segregstion blah blah blah. What I find most baffling is when a blackman ( Niggerian) colludes with the white man or with Chinese, or Lebanese,or with Indians to bring down his own. He will work to make sure these people live in the best neighbourhoods and have privileges he will never give his own. That is the one I cant wrap my head around

We see them on their UK-used phones

In as far as IT is concerned,we are doing great.With Bitange Ndemo,Joe Mucheru and the likes of Juliana Rotich being top names in our IT sector,things can only get brighter!

Yes but I find electronics more expensive. Generally Uganda is a great country and apart from lots of insecurity (small time thugs - nothing major like gunshots) I could settle there. I spend most of my time in Uganda.

Also land is cheap as EFF!! An acre in the West around Mbarara,averaged around 50k when I checked 2007. Also the entire south below L Kyoga is one huge wetland with giant rivers,lakes and swamps.
The whole South is constantly green with plentiful and reliable rainfall. Truly,Ugandans don't know how good they have it!
