Unbelievable... http://www.forbes.com/si...13a03186dde1d7072606dde[/quote] Thanks for the insight bro.......lakini those Americans are used to eating burgers worth tens of dollars daily, living in expensive hoods n other unnecessary expenses which a typical Kenyan from Githurai 45 will consider them luxuries!! now Watch "Jeff Daniels - America is NOT the greatest country anymore" on YouTube https://youtu.be/9zZxBNRTkd4

Let's be honest, poverty in USA is very different to poverty in Kenya. In USA poor kids do not die of hunger but they become overweight for eating unhealthy junk food. In Kenya kids actually die, thats the difference.

In Kenya kids actually die, thats the difference. where have you heard of poor kids die in Kenya from hunger, I never see the kids in slums die from hunger. lets take the most extreme form of poverty, whats the difference between a homeless person in Kenya and the states, since I have never been to the states, I would assume you go through similar challenges.

Americans built their country from scratch, and faced many challenges. We have also made good progress. We shall also overcome. Many of our parents grew up in unfavourable conditions (just like the early Americans in the photo below), but our current generation has progressed and are living in mansions, apartments while driving 4x4s.

Then you have never volunteered, or just glance at slums from your lavingtoned googles. Developed countries have welfare, volunteer food spots and shelters, to take care of abject poverty. Organ harvesters and child kidnappers vulture on the poor here.

@Swenani I am a proud Kenyan and work in a conflict area somewhere in the region. When in Nairobi,I can't dare walk out of our Ndumbuini home past 9pm. But over here in this troubled part of Africa,I don't have to lock the door when I go to bed. Truth forever on the scaffold

@ Kaka2za, so true. It's more safer in many war zones than in Nairobi. Not only within the region but in many other places as well. I doubt I can sleep with the door open in Nairobi but I gladly do so out here. "You've never lived until you've almost died; for those who have fought for it, life has a flavour the protected will never know."

Well Well , Americans did'nt start from scratch. They had millions of Slaves providing free labour for hundreds of years. Can you imagine how great Kenya will be if we had just two years of free labour. And of Kenyans living in mansions, apartments and driving 4x4s, well thats less than 5% of the population. Nothing to be proud of. 80% of the population has no access to clean drinking water ( some 4x4s have mitungis in their trunks daily)
