Guys are overeacting on pure truths due to some emotional experience or something.....
The only difference is Kiash is abroad.. We are in Nairobi.. We view our villages the same way anybody. from Jo'burg or Cairo views Nairobi...
but the 'hardworking..we are living it' 5% of Nairobians represented here feel insulted.. ghetto superstars...a bubble class... smh
Weve been abroad, we know home is best.. and we also know compared to anything there, this is a non functional city/country just as Kiash put it.. Hii mafeelings cos we have a mentality abt Kenyans abroad is petty

Hata Zimmerman akiua a niggah huko majuu.....@kiash. Honestly you overrate yourself....jipe shughuli......Nai is so full of expats, I wonder how they survive away from the paradise homes huko majuu. @poundfoolish, inakaa Nairoberry haikupeleki vizuri lakini just know that every society/country have their own unique problems, it doesn't call for a saffurer/idler majuu to lecture us. ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Ouch touched a raw nerve? I do not suffer fools gladly. I call 'em way I see em. And the way i see it house niggers started calling farm niggers names. I come from a region with one of the highest concentrations of summer bunnies per square mile. Trust me i have seen it all. All my posts here are true stories. No stories of giant. Those villagers who did harambees and hired busloads to JKIA singing themselves hoarse to see off summer bunnies to the land of opportunity are very dissapointed by you attitude.

Get home and
Electricity -you do not know when there is rationing or when they will say itβs a generator problem.
When you have electricity, the taps are probably dry no water
Daktari - go out there and get some cold and then get to that hospital, chances of getting the right medication God help
Airport fire/accident - Fire fighters and ambulances will take ages to get to the scene. In case you get to the emergency well the definition of emergency changes.
Wezi - Go out and have some few drinks, take a taxi, you are not a 100% sure you will get home in case the taxi driver ni mwizi pia. Next day take your car or a mat and there you do not know if you will be carjacked.
Police- get hijacked and get to the police station , ouf polisi nao, utumishi kwa wote you might think you are looking for help to go to heaven
TV content - get home and there you switch on the TV, hoping to get some local content and there you go a nollywood film ama zile za kutoka South America.
Politician - they will start telling lies for them to get elected so as to increase their salaries and show their power, petty issues how many cars, body guards blabla some retired ministers elsewhere ride bikes to work.
Wakenya wajinga - who will always talk politics even when not necessary Raila hapa, Uhuruto hapa they cannot move on donge!
Football fans - those who are in blue and red jerseys talking about our team, team yenu as if they hold shares in Man uni or Chelsea some stupid ones even commit suicide. Kwenda jogging ama support Rudisha.
Some of those who share my fears just stay put in their countries of residence ulaya
Now that tempers have cooled down kidogo, i think i may comment. This @kiash guy has actually raised some valid points but its only that he put them across 'wrongly' and caused such a furore among 'patriotic wazuans'. I think like someone mentioned earlier on, we are so used to mediocrity, incompetence, corruption, lawlessness, chaos etc mpaka we think it's normal and that's how life should be. The garbage, the potholes, the crime, lack of water, unsafe tap water, unreliable power, burst sewers, deplorable public hospitals, chaotic public transport system, theft of public resources etc etc have become acceptable in our society. We are heavily taxed but never get services due to incompetence, corruption etc etc, and so we have to go back to our pockets and dig deep to pay for private security, private education for kids, private healthcare, private garbage collection, buy bottled drinking water etc etc. I even see people contributing money to seal potholes in their neighborhoods! So how do those people who can't afford this (over 80% of the population) survive? Meanwhile, our politicians are the highest paid in the world and it's only recently we were treated to a circus in the name of county budgets. Imagine the savings we would all make if systems that we pay for run the way they should? So what is the difference between us and the west? They pay taxes and ensure their systems work, we pay taxes and our systems somehow never seem to work.

Forgive this guy called @kiash, when he landed in majuu aliona milango zikijifungua and thot he fikad heaven. Am so damn sure he has never been out of his town/city to know what goes on around. The reality is we live in a world where the media strives to portray poverty to be a thing that only occurs in Asia, Middle East and Africa and that the continents that are Australia, US and Europe are a true replica of HEAVEN. The dude is so drunk with this mix. The reality is There's real poverty in the US. These people my not die of hunger, but they die of disease, and they live in deplorable conditions. Close to 50% of the people of Owsley County in Kentucky live without electricity and running water.. In all honesty @kiash, have you not seen such places as potrayed on this picture  Msidanganywe na huyu @kiash that its all glits and glamour in the US of A In Ohio, Philadephia, Indiana you will find a people known as the Amish community, just do a simple google search. Take a drive to Kansas N**** utajionea mambo. #The media will not show u everything "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

I don't think the Amish are a good example for this discussion. They choose to live that very simple life without phones, elec, cars and other modern conveniences and are very protective of that lifestyle. Part of Detroit, SE Washington DC, North Philly are all areas with low income residents/high crime rate.

If you watch the documentaries they air about the indigenous cultures of the masai and other tribes in Africa and south America, the message is "help these people" yet allover the world there are those who dont fancy the glamour that the west refers to as life.

Relax, don't lump me with @kiash! There are many reasons why people choose to make the documentaries they do - there are documentaries that celebrate that traditional Maasai lifestyle and there those that focus on the lack of "things". There are also documentaries about poverty in places like Mississippi and West Virginia that is on par or even worse than what you would find in Kenya/South America/Asia. What I meant in my response is that there is a difference in choosing a simple traditional lifestyle and living in poverty where the Amish are concerned.
Example: I have a client who owns a commercial animal farm but the dude does not own a computer or a phone on his property. To call anyone he has to walk or ride his horse and buggy to the community call box and to do anything computer related or if you need to contact him, he relies on a dude on the next farm who happens not to be Amish.

 Quote:it behoves me to conjure an unequivocal reply that will conjure into an armagedorial petulance that will aim to juxtapose the minds of so called diasporistic nin coompoops who blatantly refuses to purge their medula oblongata of the immaterialistic conjexture of ignoble colonial mannerism, this objects of national shame joins up with their oblongatedly obesse white man to continually barage the entity called Kenya and indeed Africa.
