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 yeah, poverty in the Appalachia is quite visible. there is general concern in the US and it is growing! http://www.huffingtonpos...nt-rates_n_3666594.html All Mushrooms are edible!

Still too much noise here.. some of us have never been to the USA..Think we complain because we live in some ghetto in new orleans.. Kiash are you inn the States.. Ive spent some time in Norway.. and Belgium.. and Austria.. this poverty they talk about i havent seen there..
Maybe its pure retaliation for cousin Barry's visits.
All said.. even citizens in the countries ive mentioned.. do admire the land of opportunities.. forgeting their arrogance and capitalis greed..

Be objective, no one says everything and all of Kenya sucks. There are lots of amazing places in Kenya, I keep discovering them everyday. Some are exclusive establishments that rarely admit Wazuans (there fears are well placed, who wants people like @siringi, @madollar @mawinder criss crossing the place when prince william is proposing?). Down at the coast, there have been cases of racism in high end hotels. These locations have strived to provide what some ordinary Kenyans lack - 24 hr security, water, electricity amongst other things. I have lived in areas considered dangerous but turned out to be fine once I became mtu wa mtaani. I have also lived in other capitals in Africa & Europe for periods that do not qualify me to be termed as from the diaspora. Tuambiane ukweli, when I first went to an organised place, I had difficulties shelving the Kenyan habit in me of wanting to scrabble into a PSV (hata tukiwa wawili  ), the urge to cross roads at non designated places, the urge to treat everyone in the streets with suspicion, the urge to keep checking if my wallet & phone are still safe, the urge ya kutusi watu ovyo ovyo, the urge of boxing people (this comes in handy in places I know - the only way to earn respect). It doesn't have to be this way. Most responses here are fallacious. Just because other places in the world have similar problems means we should accept them, just because we are patriotic Kenyans means we have to accept everything the way it is, just because some people disagree with us it means they are wrong na wakwende huko etc

I was in one of those UAE fancy buses when the driver started screaming. Turns out a guy had boarded using the exit door towards the back. And the guy was trying to blend in, thus avoiding to pay fare. When the driver started getting up, I saw the guy going to pay. That forehead was distinctively Kenyan! I couldn't resist the urge to go share laughter with him. WaKenya tuiko na chida!

@kiash, I hope you are not an illegal... this fear of going back to your less than advanced home country makes people stay in places they are no longer welcome.
Living on the fringes, on the lam in the west is worse than living free even in our broken ecosystem.

"Nobody outside should point out our flaws.. we can insult ourselves just fine" (read cops turn pickpockets thread or any other political thread) This doesn't make you any bit cleverer. It's not like we are denying we have our own problems, but im telling u today Kenya is not what that immigrant wants to potray. Kenya is very much "livable", good life happens here actually. Kiash is just a cerelac cowardly fellow. Mnaogopa tushida kidogo kidogo. At least 20m Kenyans are happy. The rest are almost there. TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

The way I see it is that you people have two choices. 1. Come home and like it 2. Stay there What we don't want is attitude. Oh this oh that. Nyamaza ama urudi Kule unaona kukiwa kuzuri. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

What we don't want is attitude. Oh this oh that. Nyamaza ama urudi Kule unaona kukiwa kuzuri. ....and those who are here and complaining can also ship out!!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".
